He was about to put the shirt on when he suddenly paused. It seemed like he had discovered something quite amusing as the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
“You did well in practicing.”
“Huh? Practice…”
‘After all, we’re going to share the same bed. It’s better to practice, don’t you think?’
With this understanding, a small sigh of relief escaped Da Jeong’s lips.
“Ah… I didn’t expect that, really.”
Listening to Tae Sang’s words, she didn’t think practicing was necessary at first. However, now that they had shared a bed, she had discovered many things about him.
He liked to lie on his side when sleeping, had the habit of placing one hand above the pillow, and couldn’t tolerate the heat when sleeping.
She mentally listed these small discoveries and suddenly, a small smile formed on her lips. It felt like there was no one else who knew him like this.
“What about breakfast?”
Tae Sang finished buttoning his shirt as he spoke.
“I’m… I’m okay. I’m not hungry.”
With just a single polite cough, he understood that she wasn’t hungry. Since yesterday, he had been excessively attentive to her meals. Da Jeong nodded as if to confirm that she was indeed fine.
“Then I’ll order later.”
Tae Sang nodded slightly and lowered the shirt that had been draped over his chest. His waist muscles flexed briefly. At that moment, a long scar, diagonally crossing near his belly button, marred an otherwise flawless physique.
‘…’
It was about half a span long. The brown scar, running diagonally near the navel, was the only imperfection on his beautiful body.
Da Jeong had noticed it when she first saw him in the pool yesterday, but it looked like an old scar.
Afraid that it might touch upon some emotional wound, Da Jeong quickly lifted her gaze to his face.
“Aren’t you tired? You woke up because of the heat, not to sleep.”
“I slept really well, unlike usual.”
His voice as he spoke was clear.
“That’s good…”
Thinking about how tired Tae Sang had looked yesterday, Da Jeong let out a sigh of relief without realizing it. Even though it had been just one day, she was relieved that he had escaped his insomnia.
He sat lightly on the edge of the bed, smiling quietly.
“I have a meeting in the morning, so I need to go out.”
“Yes… I know.”
It was an important meeting, and she had already heard about it, but she still felt a sense of regret.
Da Jeong widened her eyes slightly and spoke.
“Then quickly…”
“Think about what you want to do until I come back.”
“Until then, my time belongs to you.”
Myung Ok looked at Subin’s dark brown hair with a stern expression.
His light brown hair tended to take on an even softer color when it caught the sunlight.
Tae Sang’s hair, glistening like a black wild horse, reminded her of Chairman Cha’s youthful days. It was a proof that this bloodline was different.
Her stubborn brown hair was the only exception, as if it stubbornly clung to its unique color.
“What brought you here again, out of the blue?”
Myung Ok asked, lightly closing the office door. Her son had a habit of coming and going as he pleased. Subin, sitting with her long legs crossed, gazed out the window with a leisurely expression.
“Shall we have lunch together?”
“Lunch? We had lunch together just a few hours ago.”
“Well, I’m glad we had lunch together at the main house. If I eat with mom, it’s a relief. Besides…”
Subin flashed a thin smile as she spoke.
“People say they get tired when they eat with their mothers. All they talk about is work the whole time. So, I came here. To improve employee welfare, you know.”
“Employee welfare, huh?”
“What about it?”
“Well, if you get tired, you can just take medicine.”
Myung Ok set her large handbag on the desk, making a heavy sound as it settled on the glass surface.
“Wow… You’re ruthless.”
“Ruthless? Everyone else is just too weak.”
“If we’re talking about being weak, I’m probably the weakest.”
Subin’s long eyelashes fluttered softly.
Her hidden desire for some leisurely time together had slipped through her gently curved eyes.
Myung Ok leaned on her fist and spoke with a frustrated tone.
“Thinking about the employees is good, and taking care of your mom is also good.”
“But?”
“Next time, go to the headquarters instead of here.”
“…Grandfather?”
It was clear what she meant, and Subin looked away calmly.
Should I call it persistence or should I call it annoyance?
Myung Ok was like a runaway locomotive heading towards her goal. She charged forward, only looking ahead, and didn’t bother to survey her surroundings.
Subin, who had lived her entire life surrounded by people like her, swallowed the bitterness with effort. A pretty smile, as if by habit, appeared on her lips.
“I know. Anyway, I’m going to see Grandfather tomorrow.”
“Good thinking. Be proactive about work-related matters, and if you get the chance, bring up the executive position again.”
Only then did Myung Ok’s gaze sparkle as if she had developed a taste for my presence.
“All right, I will. But today…”
“Oh, my, time has passed so quickly.”
Myung Ok glanced at her wrist and then opened her mouth, looking surprised.
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.
