“Really, everyone claims they don’t know anything. So just stop it.”
Miyeon suddenly opened her mouth. Then, in a voice that seemed to cry, she began to lament.
“I’m dying, running around everywhere. Grandpa, what did he do that Taesang is still not letting go of his anger? Subin even came to find me and begged……”
“Subin came to you?”
“Yeah. She came a few days ago. She said, ‘Even if I’m playing around like a playboy, I should step up in times like this,’ and came to ask to take down the article.”
“…….”
It seemed like there was a way out of the maze that they had been wandering through for a long time. Taesang opened his eyes sharply. Sharp suspicions were directed at Myeong-ok.
“Hey, if you go out more here, both of us will have to go to the president’s office all day long. Surely you haven’t forgotten already? When we got married, we were dragged around like a runaway calf everywhere? I can’t do that again.”
“Sorry, but I can’t stop. Not yet.”
Taesang said with a slightly firm voice. As long as he could guess who was behind this, he couldn’t stop here. For the sake of the company, and also…
“Taesang.”
Miyeon called Taesang’s name with a hoarse voice. Calling him Taesang without the last name was one of the things he hated horribly.
“I told you not to call me that.”
Taesang said in a strongly irritated voice.
“You know, did I tell you? I went out to meet them last time and got rejected? Did that guy say that? Breaking off an engagement is fine, but he can’t tolerate being dumped.”
“…….”
When the topic of marriage came up, this time Taesang’s mouth closed tightly like a clam.
Both of them were forced into marriage, and Miyeon also had no romantic feelings for Taesang. However, no matter what explanation was attached to it, Taesang was the one who broke off the marriage first.
Deep guilt and apologies. Taesang still harbored those feelings for her. Of course, Miyeon, who knew this, brought up the topic of marriage appropriately whenever necessary.
“And this time, while doing a love interview for the magazine, they asked me what I think about your wedding….”
“There’s a reason. A very important one.”
Taesang cut her off with a sinking voice.
If the person who caused this incident was Myeong-ok, her purpose was obvious. To tarnish me, shoot me down, and eventually put Subin in my place.
Actually, Taesang didn’t care about her petty revenge. He had experienced it enough and didn’t mind getting hurt a little.
But now it’s different. Myeong-ok’s touch extended not only to him but also to Dajeong. If I collapse, Dajeong will be hurt again. That’s something I can’t leave behind even if I die.
Taesang groaned and opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry.”
“Hey… What am I supposed to be if you suddenly change the subject like that?”
Miyeon said in a bewildered voice. Taesang’s sincere apology was the first in her life.
She cautiously continued.
“Is it something… very important?”
“Yeah.”
Taesang glanced briefly around the store.
Certainly in the midst of a serious conversation. When Dajeong came into view, a soft smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
He opened his mouth with a warmer voice.
“There may be nothing more important than this in my life.”
“…Well, understand without properly explaining. Well, doing everything alone is typical of Cha Taesang. Fine, it was uncomfortable for me to ask with a bare face. Let’s make a deal.”
“What?”
Taesang said with a light laugh. It was indeed typical of Gang Miyeon, not knowing where she might turn.
“Give me just one week. Within that time, I’ll change your mind. Whether it becomes competitive information or wine that you can’t sell because you’re dead, I’ll pay a price equivalent to covering this matter.”
“You’re offering a contract…”
“Yeah.”
“Satisfying me won’t be easy.”
“We’ll see.”
Taesang smiled mischievously and nodded his head.
After all, there was nothing more important to me than Dajeong’s safety. I felt a bit sorry for her, who was proposing a bet that she could never win.
“It’s only a week. I won’t wait any longer. And…”
His mouth curled crookedly.
“If you call me without the last name once more, I won’t pick up, so be aware of that.”
“Trying to act tough. I’m hanging up!”
Miyeon abruptly hung up, as if she had been waiting with her finger over the end call button.
Taesang chuckled and put his phone away.
One week should be enough to break her stubbornness. That thought crossed his mind.
Star icon, star icon, star icon.
Dajeong looked at the suddenly appeared man with a dazed expression.
Round and gentle eyes. Slightly moist hairstyle, maybe about half an inch taller than her. Overall, the man with a gentle impression smiled brightly and pushed a pink dress.
“This would suit you better.”
“Oh, yes…”
Dajeong accepted the dress with a dazed sound.
“Since your skin is fair, this light pink will look good on you. Not to mention the subtle floral print.”
“Yes…”
“Try this on first, and then let’s see where else….”
Is he an employee of this store?
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
