“If you want to cut, cut. I’m not afraid of becoming unemployed, probably because I have a girlfriend of the CEO.”
“The CEO is Sanghwa, right?”
“Anyway.”
The urgent thing will be the contact that will come. After taking half a day off yesterday and still coming to work, today I have to make a fuss. Even if I go to work, I won’t be able to do my job properly because of the various issues that will arise today.
Thinking like that, Taeseo sent a message to Manager Jang notifying him of sick leave and casually pushed his phone far away. Then…
“Oops!”
He naturally lifted Jaein, who he had just hugged, and stood up with joy. Since he was told not to come to work by the only person he had to be cautious about, he was happy to follow the order.
Morning must have been hearty, as Taeseo, determined to stay with Jaein all day, headed for the bedroom, and no one tried to stop her.
“Yuri, congratulations. To be Kang Sun Group’s daughter-in-law… I knew you’d do well.”
“Did you even receive any calls?”
“Oh, well… My mom and dad told me not to take your calls…”
“Why? Did your house collapse, and you thought I’d ask you for money?”
“…Sorry.”
“If you’re sorry, then be good from now on.”
“Yeah! This, it’s nothing special, just a token of congratulations for your marriage…”
A friend, shaking her head proudly, held out a paper bag with a luxury logo on it. Yuri smiled as if she found it amusing and casually opened the paper bag to peek inside.
“What’s this? It’s from last season. I have this.”
“Oh, well…, because they said that your house got seized…”
“…,”
In the chilly atmosphere, a friend who was watching for the mood quickly raised a teacup. The opulent afternoon tea party, satisfying vanity just by looking at it, was a gathering to celebrate Yuri’s marriage announcement.
This morning, at the Kang Sun Group’s PR office, they officially announced the marriage of Kang Taeseo and Jo Yuri and distributed related press materials. As soon as this happened, friends who had avoided and turned away from Yuri contacted her promptly.
Yuri carefully selected among the friends who contacted her. Then, a little late, she attended the hotel’s specially prepared afternoon tea party for her marriage announcement.
After being busy from early in the morning with hair, makeup, and even nails for the first time in a long while.
But an oblivious child interrupted and touched people’s nerves at the end of her sentences. Although there seemed to be no malice, it made her feel even worse.
When Yuri pushed over the paper bag with a frowning expression, friends, who had been summoned by her, quickly asked with tightly pursed lips.
“Not fun.”
“Oh, really? Then, um, ah!”
Seeing Yuri’s sluggish reaction, one of the children who caused the reaction spotted the secretary who had come in the distance and raised her hand quickly. In response to her call, the secretary, holding something, quickly approached.
“Is it out?”
“Yes, I’m on my way to pick it up as soon as I come out.”
“Give it here. Yuri, do you want to see this? This thing…?”
What she handed over was the most influential economic weekly magazine in the world. It usually featured famous politicians or businessmen on the cover, but the cover model for this issue was a popular Korean actor who had been enjoying worldwide popularity recently.
“What’s that?”
“She’s into this kind of stuff these days. Hey, did you tell her to pick it up as soon as it comes out today?”
“Yeah. Yuri, don’t you know she’s going crazy over this? She even did an interview. Yuri, do you want to see it first?”
“Calm down. Do you think these people come when you call them?”
“No. Our actor says she doesn’t need sponsors. I told the agency president about it through my older brother, but it didn’t work. She got to that position with a hundred percent skill.”
“Fine. You enjoy it then.”
Yuri, filled with joy, looked at her friend who was cautiously turning the pages to see the interview article after taking several shots of the cover photo.
“Huh…?”
“Why.”
“…Isn’t this man Kang Taeseo?”
“Kang Taeseo? Where, where do you see that?”
“Crazy, he’s so handsome…”
Yuri’s eyes widened at the sudden mention of Kang Taeseo. The three of them, unable to take their eyes off the photos and interview contents of Kang Taeseo, who they couldn’t stop looking at, seemed to have forgotten Yuri’s presence.
“Wow, Kang Taeseo was selected for an interview as one of the global top 100 to look forward to for the next 10 years.”
“Look at the gaze. The jawline… Ha, so sexy…”
“But why isn’t there any mention of Kang Sun Group?”
“They say Kang Taeseo has been one of the co-CEOs hidden under the veil at E&K? What’s E&K?”
Unable to resist her curiosity, Yuri reached out for the magazine with a frowning expression, but the three people, captivated by the impressive photos of Kang Taeseo filling several pages like a pictorial shoot, ignored Yuri’s hand.
“Huh…?”
“…”
“Hey… What’s going to happen then?”
“…I don’t know.”
After exchanging glances for a long time, the three, who had been fidgeting, closed the magazine. Then, they started looking at Yuri again, and there was a temperature difference compared to a while ago.
“Oh, I forgot. My mom said she has somewhere to go in the afternoon.”
“Oh, me too. I also have to go to my in-laws today.”
“Me too! I should go now. Guests at home…”
Suddenly, Yuri, who was watching her friends hastily gathering their things with an annoyed look, reached out. She snatched the magazine from her friend’s hand and chuckled.
She wondered if she should overlook the pitiful crawling, but why suddenly act like this? Whatever the reason, Yuri had nothing to fear right now.
As the recognized daughter-in-law of Kang Sun, Yuri had forgotten the anxiety and remorse that had clung to her for a while now that the official announcement had been made.
“What’s with all the fuss?”
“Well, it’s Yuri…”
“Hey, let’s just go. Yuri, we have something urgent. We’ll go first.”
“Yeah, go. Don’t think about seeing my face again twice.”
Whether her friends left or not, Yuri, who was fixated on Taeseo’s interview article in the magazine, crossed her legs.
No matter how you look at it, he’s outstanding. To think that such a man would be her husband. Kang Taeseo is hers.
The smile that involuntarily spread in her intoxication of victory disappeared as she read Taeseo’s interview article. And before she knew it, Yuri was once again biting her nails and chewing on her lips, nervously reaching out towards the teacup, her hand shaking slightly.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
