Chairman Cha surprisingly agreed easily. He could make such a statement because he knew it wouldn’t happen.
The genuine feelings seen in his grandson’s eyes. Those were not something that could be fabricated or forced.
Myeong Ok might covet Tae Sang’s position, but this time, she had no chance of winning.
As the yellow sunlight transitioned to a soft orange hue, Myeong Ok walked down the corridor, irritably tapping her phone screen. Her eyes, staring at the word ‘son’ on the screen, were ice-cold.
“Why doesn’t he answer his phone…”
Muttering in annoyance, Myeong Ok pulled open the office door. The heavy door swung open quickly, revealing a man lounging in a chair far away.
The only person who would enter uninvited and sit like that was one man. Without needing to look any further, Myeong Ok tossed her phone into her bag.
“If you’re here, you should say so.”
“I wanted to surprise you. Hi, Mom, it’s been a while.”
The man spun the chair around, lounging almost to the point of lying, and waved his hand. Seeing this, Myeong Ok sighed softly and propped her hand against her head.
“Cha Su Bin, come here and sit properly.”
The man, spinning his chair with his legs, almost lay back as he waved his hand. Seeing this, Myeong Ok sighed softly and propped her hand against her head.
“Cha Su Bin, come here and sit properly.”
“Just a moment. I want to feel like a division head too.”
“What? Feel like? When I tried to put you in a position, you wouldn’t even pretend to listen, and now you come here and say this?”
Myeong Ok roughly placed her handbag on the desk as she spoke.
Su Bin was a child she bore, but she could not understand any part of him. He showed interest and then quickly grew bored, a common occurrence, and lacked the ambition typical of others.
Moreover, as the second son of the Hyosung Group, the best he did was to become a new professional photographer. It was laughable, even to the birds he photographed.
“Your pretty face will wrinkle. You can get angry when you’re old; it’s not too late.”
“You’re really…”
“Ah… If you’re just going to nag, I’ll leave.”
Su Bin teased her again, his protruding lips and wide-open eyes looking quite innocent. But Myeong Ok was not one to fall for such shallow tricks.
“Stop your antics. Stay in Korea this time.”
“Why? Because of my brother’s wedding?”
“You’ve got ears everywhere, I see.”
“The news about my accomplished brother travels everywhere.”
Su Bin spun the chair around again as he spoke. Myeong Ok, unable to bear it any longer, quickly approached and pressed down on the armrest of the chair.
“…….”
His defiant gaze challenged Myeong Ok. The suppressed anger in his eyes flickered.
“If Tae Sang is doing well, you should be maintaining your position better. Why are you always wandering around?”
“For me… Mom handles everything.”
“You now…! Su Bin, I’ve told you so many times, there’s only so much I can do for you.”
Myeong Ok leaned forward to match his eye level as she spoke. Su Bin lightly pushed her shoulder, escaping from the small prison made by her arms.
“Talking about Grandfather again?”
“You know and still ask.”
“I hate flattery.”
“Flattery? The whole group is about to be handed over to Tae Sang, and you say that?”
Myeong Ok had always treated her son like a delicate glass doll. She had swallowed her anger a thousand times inwardly, only to express it once outwardly.
But her patience ran dry in front of her son’s unchanged attitude.
“Try to be half like Tae Sang. Getting married? Saying he’s fine even in front of his woman, clear-headed, showing off to Grandfather.”
“It might not be like that. Maybe that woman is genuinely good…”
“Why are you so carefree! Your situation now is… Oh!”
Suddenly, Myeong Ok quickly covered her mouth and stepped back. The words had slipped out unintentionally, and she seemed surprised herself.
“…….”
“Su, Su Bin. What I mean is…”
The word ‘situation’ was something she should never have said in front of Su Bin. Anticipating the upcoming storm, Myeong Ok’s face turned pale.
“What I mean is we need to act more wisely. No other meaning…”
Crash!
His face was languid and quiet, to the point of seeming bored. But in a brief moment, Su Bin swept everything off the desk, including the stand lamp and glass items.
His actions resembled a wild animal convulsing after being hit by a tranquilizer dart.
“Status, status, that damned status!”
“Su Bin! Calm down! Mom was wrong. Just calm down.”
Myeong Ok raised her hands and slowly approached him, speaking soothingly. Her son was unpredictable once he exploded. Caution was evident in her approach.
“……What did Mom do wrong?”
“Huh? Oh, about that… the status… the word you hate, I chose my words poorly. I’m sorry.”
“It’s not that.”
Su Bin glared at a family photo on one corner of the desk. His gaze was so fierce it seemed as if he could tear the photo to shreds just by looking at it.
“The mistake isn’t that, Mom. The mistake was forcing me into this family from the start.”
“What are you talking about? Me, forcing you into this family.”
“Isn’t ‘forcing’ the right word when you put someone who doesn’t belong in this family into it?”
“……!”
In that moment, Myeong Ok’s face stiffened.
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.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
