As she awkwardly lifted the corner of her mouth, Chairman Cha suddenly changed the direction of the conversation.
“We should raise the table quickly.”
“What?”
Dajeong was surprised at Chairman Cha’s somewhat urgent attitude and made a startled sound.
“Dajeong, you don’t have to prepare anything. Just choose a date. The sooner, the better.”
“Well, that’s…”
Dajeong blinked her eyes quickly and turned her gaze awkwardly.
In fact, Dajeong had a mischievous thought that it would be nice if the marriage were delayed a bit.
When it was a fake contract, the date didn’t matter. But everything changed the moment they became a real couple.
Every day was exciting, and the sweet happiness of being in love was delightful. It seemed nice to get a little more drunk on this sweet relationship.
With such thoughts in her mind, she couldn’t readily give an answer. However, Myungok suddenly interjected into the conversation.
“It can’t be done quickly.”
“…?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to her at her abrupt words.
“Oh, did everyone forget? Taesang’s aunt, who lives in the United States, can’t come to Korea for a while because of surgery.”
“It’s okay. It’s not like she can’t take a plane once.”
“Well, that’s not true. I called her yesterday, and her condition has worsened rapidly lately.”
“Is that really true?”
“Yes. It seems like she didn’t mention it to my father because he might worry. The primary doctor said that long trips would be difficult for a while.”
“Hmm…”
Chairman Cha sighed deeply and averted his gaze. His bright and clear face, which was sunny just a moment ago, now seemed dark as if covered by clouds.
Seeing this, Myungok raised the corner of her mouth and turned her head towards Taesang.
“Moreover, you’ve been so busy lately with the merger of Hansung Hanguk, haven’t you?”
“I’ll handle my work. I’ve been much busier than this before.”
“Do as you wish. You’re not two people, after all… If you want to go on a proper honeymoon, it’s better to get married first. How big is a woman’s romantic fantasy about marriage? It’s not like doing it like roasting beans on a red-hot iron plate.”
“…”
Perhaps it was the last words that had an effect, as Taesang closed his mouth quietly.
As an awkward silence flowed for a moment, everyone’s gaze gathered on the prospective bride, as if there were an agreement to end the conversation.
Dajeong sensed intuitively that she needed to conclude the conversation.
“I’m fine with taking it slow. I don’t want Taesang to overwork himself.”
“…You can honestly tell me.”
Taesang spoke, putting strength into the hand he held.
“Really. I prefer taking it slow. Prepare for the wedding at leisure, and have a long honeymoon.”
As she spoke with a bright smile, Taesang nodded his head slightly.
“…Okay. Then let’s take it slow with the meal. Finish the Hansung Hanguk work first, and when all the guests can come.”
“Yes, Grandfather.”
Dajeong nodded decisively. Chairman Cha smiled kindly and looked around the dining table.
One, two. Delicious side dishes were all laid out in front of Dajeong.
After the meal, Chairman Cha invited Taesang to play Go in the study.
When Taesang refused to leave Dajeong alone until the end, Chairman Cha appeared quite disappointed.
Eventually, it was Dajeong’s turn again. Persuading him gently, she managed to lead him into the study. But before emptying the fruit plate placed in front of him, Taesang suddenly opened the study door and came out.
“No, let’s play one more game.”
“I’ll send a professional Go player to your house. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content.”
“With that guy. Are you so worried that Dajeong was left alone for a while?”
Taesang approached Dajeong, ignoring Myungok’s questioning words.
“Let’s go.”
“Already?”
“Taesang, if you keep turning around so much, you won’t have time to get close to your family.”
Myungok said, as if restraining. Taesang glanced at her with a threatening look, but soon turned his gaze away. Having observed this, it seemed that their relationship softened slightly in front of Chairman Cha.
“I greeted, had a meal. There’s no reason to stay any longer.”
“It’s cold. Dajeong, how about looking for a kind and gentle man as your name suggests?”
Myungok said playfully, twisting her eyes. Then Chairman Cha approached quickly with a heavy footstep, scolding Dajeong.
“What nonsense! Dajeong, you didn’t hear that. You shouldn’t listen to such ridiculous talk. Got it?”
“Yes. I understand. It’s just a joke. Hold on. Grandfather.”
Staying longer would have caused a big disturbance in the house. Dajeong greeted politely and left.
Chairman Cha, who received the greeting, put on his shoes quickly following Taesang. With a puzzled look, Dajeong watched as he went all the way to the front door.
“Taesang, you go to the car first.”
“What are you trying to say from behind again?”
Taesang hid Dajeong behind his shoulder and spoke.
“I’m just saying goodbye. That’s all.”
“If you want to say it, say it in front of me.”
“Dajeong, this old man keeps relying on you, and I feel sorry. How about you do something about him?”
“Huh? Yes… yes.”
Mumbling, Dajeong revealed herself behind Taesang. Tapping his shoulder, she quickly turned his head.
“Go ahead. Say your goodbye.”
“……I’ll be there.”
“If you don’t go first, will you come up separately later to meet Grandfather?”
“Well, that…”
“Come on, let’s go.”
Dajeong urged him. Taesang looked dissatisfied, but as Dajeong’s small hand touched his shoulder, he quickly moved his legs.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
