A tall and wellbuilt man walked in front of Jae In.
Na Hui tried to stretch her neck to see who it was, but she only saw his back, and even that quickly got lost in the crowd, making her efforts futile.
“Oh my, Jae In, you had a boyfriend? I never saw any signs of that. Who is he?”
With the thought that she should chase after Jae In, Na Hui abruptly stood up from her seat.
Woo Jin asked with a surprised look, “Na Hui, where are you going when it’s about to start?”
“Oh, to the restroom, just… um…”
“Yes? You just went a while ago.”
“Right. I forgot, hehe.”
Caught off guard, Na Hui had no choice but to sit back down.
However, she couldn’t focus on Woo Jin’s words because she was still concerned about the man who had been with Jae In.
Na Hui was someone who could only find peace of mind by uncovering her usual curiosities.
“Oh my, I’m dying of curiosity. Who is single Jae In meeting? She didn’t seem to have much luck with blind dates, but was she just pretending?”
Na Hui always found her fellow newcomer, Jae In, to be a thorn in her side.
Despite not causing her any harm and even being a great help in terms of work, Na Hui was bothered by Jae In’s seemingly relaxed attitude in everything.
She felt that even though Jae In seemed to be working hard at something, she appeared hypocritical by not showing it.
Not being intimidated in front of her, despite having nothing to show off, was also a kind of medicine for Na Hui.
Anyway, Na Hui really wanted to see Jae In in a pathetic state.
“The guy was quite tall. Could he be like our team leader… No, that can’t be true, right?”
However, memories of Do Hyuk treating Jae In particularly coldly came to mind.
“Hmph, that’s absurd. There’s no way.”
Even thinking about it, Na Hui couldn’t believe it and burst into a hollow laugh.
“Isn’t that right? If it’s for once, what if it’s true? Come to think of it, there was something odd during the company dinner with the team leader and Jae In.”
“Na Hui, is something wrong?”
Woo Jin, who was beside her, looked at her with a worried expression.
Lost in thought, Na Hui bit her lower lip and finally snapped out of it.
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
“You looked serious all of a sudden, so I was worried.”
“What could be serious? I’m fine.”
“Then that’s a relief. By the way, Na Hui, can I introduce you to my parents next week?”
“Next week?”
Na Hui’s heart skipped a beat.
“It hasn’t even been a month since we started dating, and already?”
While they had agreed to meet under certain conditions, the progression was too fast.
“Yes. My mother is so curious about you and wants to meet you soon,” Woo Jin explained.
“Oh… I see…”
She must be curious about how long I can keep up this act.
Na Hui had heard from the matchmaker that Woo Jin’s mother was not ordinary.
“Is it too fast? I apologize if it’s inconvenient.”
Woo Jin’s complexion darkened.
“Ah, well. If I refuse, it’s obvious that it will leave a bad first impression. What should I do?”
Na Hui’s parents, who had become instant millionaires through real estate, had hoped for a soninlaw with a professional career.
That’s why they were extremely satisfied with the match between Na Hui and a doctor like Woo Jin.
The fact that Woo Jin came from a family with a long line of scholars and officials was also a significant plus factor.
Na Hui thought that with a warmhearted person like Woo Jin, they could paint a picture that others would find convincing.
But.
Even in that moment, she didn’t expect the stubborn Do Hyuk to leave her mind.
‘If I keep going like this, I’ll be trapped in this household with no way out. This won’t do. I should approach the team leader more actively.’
Na Hui had always been the one who could captivate any man with her refined makeup and glamorous beauty adorned with luxury. The only man she hadn’t won over yet was Do Hyuk, but that was only because she hadn’t exerted her full efforts.
‘Cha Do Hyuk, just watch. I will definitely make you fall for me!’
“Na Hui, are you okay?”
Na Hui, clenching her fist and fortifying her determination, snapped back to reality at Woo Jin’s voice.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I was lost in thought for a moment.”
“About going to meet my mother….”
“If you’re curious, of course we should meet. Let’s set a date soon.”
Woo Jin’s face finally brightened.
Na Hui smiled to herself.
“Well, for now, I should keep my options open.”
Monday morning.
Jae In, who had walked to work braving the cold wind, felt her whole body grow tired as she entered the warm office.
Park, the department manager, who was enjoying a friendly conversation with Na Hui while drinking mixed coffee, greeted Jae In and said, “Assistant Seo, why do you look even more tired after the weekend? Your dark circles are no joke. Did you stay up all night?”
It was a rude remark, but it hit the nail on the head.
“Oh my, Manager! I was thinking the same thing. Assistant Seo, what happened?”
Na Hui seemed unusually quiet these days.
“It’s nothing, really. Nothing happened.”
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.
