“Where is it? It’s my house.”
“Why am I here?”
“Seriously, don’t you remember anything from last night?”
“Last night?”
Frowning, Sejeong dimly groped her memories.
In the midst of that, the faint image of Cha Dohyuk’s face floated to the surface.
‘Surely, I saw Cha Dohyuk at the end… Surely?’
Sejeong stared fixedly at Jinhyuk’s face.
Their features were so similar that you could mistake them for the same person.
Sejeong immediately realized that the person she thought was Dohyuk last night was actually Jinhyuk.
‘Oh my God! How did I end up doing something like this?’
Even if she blamed herself, it was already spilled milk.
The best thing she could do now was to leave quickly.
She would think about the aftermath later.
“Get me some clothes to wear.”
“Why are you being so formal? It’s not like we’re strangers who met only once or twice.”
“Stop talking nonsense and get out!”
“You’re quite temperamental…”
It was when Jinhyuk sent a subtle glance outside.
Bang.
Suddenly, the door opened, and someone walked in, shouting, “Cha Jinhyuk, you rascal! What are you doing right now!”
“Father?”
The intruder was none other than Jinhyuk’s father, Cha Junghwan, the head of DaeSan Group.
Cha Junghwan was on the verge of exploding.
Jinhyuk’s uncooperative attitude threatened to ruin the ongoing negotiations with Jang Munsoo, the CEO of MF Partners and the daughter of Jang Munshik, the chairman of Seojin Corporation.
In the midst of this, he received a report from Jinhyuk’s secretary that his son had spent the night with a woman, so he rushed to the scene in anger to catch them in the act.
“You said you wouldn’t get married, and now you’re doing this!”
“Father, calm down for a moment.”
“I’m calm now!”
Cha Junghwan threw a sofa cushion at Jinhyuk and then looked at Sejeong, who was frozen like a statue under the blanket, and said, “Is this the woman? Miss, get out before things get uglier!”
“Oh, yes!”
Sejeong hurriedly picked up the scattered clothes on the floor.
“Jinhyuk, aren’t you frustrated always being overshadowed by Dohyuk? If you’re going to play around like this, don’t get caught! If this gets to MF’s ears…”
Jinhyuk laughed at his father’s words and pointed at Sejeong.
“Father, greet her. This is Yoon Sejeong. Do you know Yoon Munsik, the chairman of Seojin Corporation?”
“What?”
Cha Junghwan’s eyes widened.
“You crazy bastard!”
If this was Yoon Sejeong, the daughter of Chairman Yoon Munsik, she was the woman Cha Dohyuk had been marked to marry.
The fact that Jinhyuk and Dohyuk’s son had spent a night together left Cha Junghwan in complete darkness about how to handle the situation.
Panic also struck Sejeong.
She tried to quietly leave the scene and come up with a plan.
However, not only did the plan collapse, but she also ended up being scolded by Cha Junghwan without any room to breathe.
‘I’m going crazy! What if this gets to Chairman Cha’s ears?’
Sejeong felt like her pounding headache, compounded by the hangover, would split her head open.
In the midst of all this, only Jinhyuk remained calm. He even seemed overly composed.
Inside, Jinhyuk smiled with a sense of satisfaction.
‘Everything went well as planned.’
All of this was part of Jinhyuk’s plan, as he had desperately wanted to catch Sejeong.
After a brief encounter with Sejeong a year ago, Jinhyuk, who couldn’t shake off his regret, had been hovering around her.
When he found out about the consultations between Dohyuk and Sejeong after their short meeting a year ago, he felt betrayed.
Then, at the year-end party, he coincidentally heard Sejeong’s true feelings, giving him hope that things might work out with her again.
He eagerly seized the opportunity to get closer to Sejeong.
Last night was an unexpected chance for them to spend the night together.
Jinhyuk calmly watched the chaos unfold, knowing that this was all part of his plan.
To obtain Sejeong, and, of course, to push out Dohyuk and take the position of the successor to DaeSan Group.
From the perspective of Chairman Cha Junghwan, there was even a calculation that it would be much more advantageous.
Although they had a large amount of funds, joining hands with Seojin Mulsan, the second-largest shareholder of DaeSan Group with a strong financial capability, would be much better than dealing with a mere private equity fund like MF Partners.
Instead of the hassle of selling one DaeSan affiliate after another, it would be simpler to just snatch the successor position from Dohyuk.
“Sejeong, we’ll be outside. Take a break for a moment.”
Jinhyuk spoke to Sejeong with a bright smile, then directed his gaze at Cha Junghwan, who seemed to be looking at Sejeong as if ready to devour her.
“Father, please take a moment to talk with me outside.”
On the same morning.
Dohyuk was helping Jaeein prepare breakfast.
“Seo Jaeein, do I flip this over?”
“Oh, not yet!”
Before Jaeein could stop him, Dohyuk flipped the pancake.
As a result, the beautifully round shape was torn and crumpled.
“Oh, sorry.”
“…It could happen.”
He looks handsome.
Even his awkward expression seems artistic.
For a moment, Jaeein’s mind wandered as she gazed at Dohyuk’s handsome appearance, which seemed to be more proactive in the kitchen after Jiyeon had left a few days ago.
“I’ll handle the eggplant stir-fry, so Seo Jaeein, do something else.”
“Team leader, please don’t burn it like last time!”
“Don’t worry. Trust me.”
Well, I might be fooled once or twice.
Ignoring her anxiety, Jaeein handed the eggplant stir-fry to Dohyuk.
“Seo Jaeein, how about we go on a date today?”
Suddenly, Dohyuk whispered into Jaeein’s ear.
“That sounds good, but is your grandfather okay…?”
“Ah… Shall we sneak away secretly?”
Dohyuk’s pure sincerity, without a hint of joking, made Jaeein pierce his side with a playful jab.
“It’s the weekend; how can you leave your grandfather alone? Besides, to change his mind, we need to spend more time together.”
“…Alright.”
“Shall we all go somewhere to get some fresh air? We can also eat something delicious.”
“Where to?”
“Well… Hiking might be too much for your grandfather’s heart, and it’s too cold to stay outside for long… ”
As Jaeein was thinking of a suitable place with a puzzled expression, Chairman Cha suddenly appeared.
“Hey, there’s a place I really want to visit.”
Startled, Jaeein stepped back.
“Oh, surprised you, didn’t I? Jaeein, how long have you been listening?”
“From the part where that rascal Dohyuk was suggesting to run away secretly.”
Hmm.
Dohyuk coughed awkwardly, avoiding Chairman Cha’s sharp gaze.
“Well, Jaeein, do you want to know where it is?”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
