Even just Cha Woo-gang suddenly wanting to meet indicated the same reason.
If it were in the past, she would have definitely refused, but Wooyeon did not push away those who were appropriately entangled with them.
It was because it was advantageous for her to increase her power. It was a feeling of having a solid background that she had never experienced before.
Of course, Wooyeon wanted to use that background as a stepping stone to grow further, but she had no intention of causing trouble behind the scenes.
After each meeting, a paper bag with a substantial amount of money was always delivered, but she never accepted it even once.
“I don’t accept lobby. I’ll just take the connection.”
It was tiresome to reject with the same words every time. However, if necessary, she planned to use them as part of her network.
Cha Eun-hae scanned Wooyeon, who was wearing a white dress, slowly.
The meal had already been prepared in advance. She ate cool Kongguksu while quickly wiping off the traces on the corners of her lips.
“Do you like Kongguksu?”
“Yes. It’s okay.”
“I hope it suits your taste. By the way, how old is Anchor Yoon this year?”
“Twenty-nine.”
“Well, Anchor Yoon has reached the age of marriage too.”
“…”
“Representative Cha Taekyung, you’re going to meet him, right?”
The news of Woo-yeon getting close to Taekyung seemed to be quite important news for the upper class, and everyone had a consistent reaction.
If there was any consolation, it was the fact that the news of meeting him did not spread widely, and even if it did, it felt like it was being blocked by the higher-ups.
Perhaps that was why the wealthy families remained quiet even if there were accidents, and even if there were interesting rumors, they only shared them among themselves without letting them trickle down.
It might be a similar sentiment to saying, “I helped you this time, so help me next time.” To them, everything from one to ten was business.
“Yes. We’re meeting well.”
As Woo-yeon gave a polite answer and straightened her posture, Cha Eun-hae raised her eyebrows.
“How far are you thinking with him? Marriage?”
It was a probing tone, and there was a strange disregard that naturally assumed they must be thinking about marriage.
Woo-yeon lightly squeezed her fingertips.
“Well, when a man and a woman meet, they could either break up or even go as far as marriage, don’t you think?”
“By any chance, do you believe in things like love?”
Her gaze was fierce. Suddenly, she recalled the words of Senior Kang, who thought what she was doing was love.
Woo-yeon didn’t flinch.
“No. I don’t believe in it.”
“Good. Anchor Kang believed in that kind of thing.”
“…”
“Were they close?”
“Not anymore.”
Cha Eun-hae opened her eyes in surprise.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Well done.”
While saying that, she continued the conversation without turning away from the purpose of looking at her face.
“I’m trying to stand on Chairman Cha’s side. Vice Chairman Cha Woo-gang is too worn out. Myeongsan needs someone with the ability to bring in a new wind.”
“Are you saying that Chairman’s shares in Myeongsan will be transferred to Representative Cha?”
“You understood it correctly. Yes. If I stand by Representative Cha and provide support, someday Representative Cha will help me when I need it. Vice Chairman Cha Woo-gang, if you look down on him, you might get a big bump on your nose. Even if he doesn’t have the ability, there are quite useful people among his subordinates. He might be bloodthirsty now, trying to push Representative Cha down from behind.”
“…Yes.”
She said lightly while pressing her temples.
“So, someone like me who holds the center of the media business is needed more. But, actually, there are many people who volunteered to help Chairman. They all see it, you know. Do you see that Representative Cha is greedily devouring Myeongsan, and he will grow enormously? Anyway, my help is annoyingly subtle.”
“…”
“I suggested to see Anchor Yoon.”
“What do you mean?”
“Yoon Anchor, I’ll help her grow more. She’ll fly higher at UBC than now. During this time, she couldn’t do much because she was watching the upper echelons. That means she can try everything now.”
“…”
“Why? Are you not confident?”
“No, I’m confident. If you push me, I’ll fly even higher, as Chairman said.”
Having said that, as soon as the words were out, tension surged. Woo-yeon slowly sipped water to hide her nervousness.
Summing up her words, it seemed that President Cha Eun-hae intended to handle the relationship with Taekyung differently from others. The reason behind Song Sa’s fame was ultimately due to the wife’s role in wielding significant decisions for the man. Cha Eun-hae believed that Woo-yeon would eventually fulfill that role, the woman who shattered Taekyung’s icy fortress. She recognized it at first sight, where Taekyung’s gaze lingered throughout the social party. She squinted her eyes.
“As expected, I’m good at judging people. Since I’ve seen your face, it’s enough. Let’s drink together next time.”
With those words, Cha Eun-hae stood up. Watching her leave the restaurant, Woo-yeon lingered a bit longer.
The first thing that stirred her mind was the various faces of the powerful figures that Reporter Yeom had been covering for years. From the famous congressman’s son’s college entrance corruption to minor and intricate incidents, they were cut off whenever they tried to expose them.
I can help.
She swore in this moment that if she ever stepped down from the anchor’s position, she would report only the truth.
Late at night, Woo-yeon spent quite a long time in the bathroom before coming out. Her skin, saturated with moisture, was so elastic that it seemed like it would bounce up. Despite having flawless skin without a single blemish, Woo-yeon applied a pack.
Her skin didn’t easily tolerate even a single pimple; it was a kind of compulsion, but it was better to manage it every day without fail.
While the pack dried, Woo-yeon monitored news from other broadcasting stations.
Since it would take a considerable amount of time to catch up on the broadcasts of the past week, she left the TV on all day like a background noise during the weekend.
After removing the pack on time and drinking the tea she had prepared in a tumbler in advance, she received a call from Taekyung.
Looking at his name, she always felt conflicted. On one hand, she wanted to be drawn without thinking about anything, and on the other hand, she thought she shouldn’t.
The green line she wanted to follow without stopping, and the red line that she should stop.
Sometimes she had nightmares.
The nightmares she used to have were always the same. Facing the constantly unhappy Yoon Woo-yeon in the old and gloomy house where she spent her childhood.
In the nightmares these days, Cha Taekyung appears.
The one who says let’s end it, who pushes her away saying, “Did you believe me again?”
Woo-yeon met Yoon Woo-yeon, who clung to her while crying, begging, and pleading.
Whenever she had these dreams, Woo-yeon recalled a romantic movie she had watched with Taekyung. It felt like déjà vu, like a distant future, making her heart heavy.
However, regardless of that, he was always the person who made her excited.
Putting down the tumbler, Woo-yeon answered the phone.
“Yes.”
Where are you?
Well done. Now, open the door.
The call was disconnected. It took more than 3 seconds to interpret Taekyung’s words.
Standing up with a blank face and opening the front door, it was only then that she regained her composure.
In his hand was a bouquet of flowers.
It was a large bouquet made up of flowers resembling my taste with a pure white image and light pink.
Roses, ranunculus, daisies, lysianthus, and more—though she didn’t know all the names, the harmony of the flowers was dazzling.
Woo-yeon raised an eyebrow at him, who did not show his face behind the bouquet.
“President?”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
