His back, stripped of his jacket, seemed somehow broader than when I first saw him.
It could be due to his excellent self-management, but he was probably naturally broad-shouldered.
A crisp, wrinkle-free shirt, long legs, and shiny shoes.
All these spoke eloquently of Cha Taekyung’s graceful appearance.
It was a fitting observation for the man she had kissed the day before.
Though it may not suit the woman who left him alone and walked out coldly.
Woo Yeon approached him.
“Please take this.”
“…….”
“Thanks to you, I used it well.”
He accepted the jacket she offered with a greeting.
Taekyung used the elevator’s reflective surface as a mirror to put on his jacket again.
He straightened his possibly skewed tie and smoothed his hair.
Then he smoothly turned his head towards Woo Yeon.
“Your walk is faster than I thought?”
“Huh? So you deliberately…….”
“I didn’t expect you to follow me this quickly.”
“President.”
“Does the head of the department call you often?”
Woo Yeon couldn’t answer. She didn’t want to convey any negative opinions about her superior to others.
He continued calmly.
“You asked me when you first came into the room.”
“…….”
“Why are you still here?”
“…….”
“Should I not answer?”
Woo Yeon answered firmly.
“No. Please answer.”
He blinked. Just then, their gazes met, making Woo Yeon bite her lip.
She hadn’t realized the height difference was so significant; standing next to him, the contrast was stark.
“The head of the department called personally to invite me for a meal.”
“…….”
“And said he would introduce me to a woman.”
At that, Woo Yeon, who had been quietly staring at the elevator numbers, flinched.
Knowing this, he came? After suggesting dating me, he couldn’t resist and accepted a blind date?
Did he enjoy such a sophisticated hobby of teasing people?
A cold look crossed her eyes, and Taekyung smiled faintly.
“I’ve heard the UBC broadcasting station head likes to meddle in people’s affairs. That a person in such a high position uses subordinates to build their network as a hobby. And that it’s Yun Anchor.”
Finally, Woo Yeon looked up and retorted.
“You knew all this?”
Taekyung nodded.
“I was curious what face the woman who coldly rejected me after allowing a kiss would have now.”
“…….”
“Having seen your face, what’s left is to reorganize, isn’t it?”
“Look at this, President Cha Taekyung.”
It was a warning not to mess with her further. Though unlikely to be effective.
At that moment, the elevator door opened with a ding. Taekyung ignored her words and stepped in first.
Woo Yeon also entered the elevator with him.
She wanted to thank him for getting her out of the head of the department’s hell but wished to stop there. She intended to say they should part ways here, as she had brought her car too.
She stood quietly under his gaze for a moment. Taekyung spoke again.
“It seems the head of the department doesn’t know Miss Yun Woo Yeon is dating.”
“…….”
“Have you been introduced to many men?”
“…….”
“Or else, Yun Woo Yeon lied to me.”
Woo Yeon felt guilty but pretended not to know. It was ridiculous to say now that she wasn’t seeing anyone.
Thinking back, Cha Taekyung might have known from the start.
From the moment he took off her hat, embraced her waist, kissed her, and offered those sweet words of starting a relationship.
Woo Yeon answered, facing the cold elevator wall.
“Thank you for today. If you hadn’t stepped in earlier, I might have caused a big scene. You stopped me.”
“I should have just let you be.”
“What?”
“If I had, I could have seen Yun Woo Yeon crashing into the department head. That’s a pity.”
“…….”
“Did you bring your car?”
“Yes.”
“Good. I didn’t bring mine.”
“What?”
“So, it seems Yun Woo Yeon will have to drive me to my destination.”
What is he talking about? He usually doesn’t bring a car. Call Manager Han.
These words rose to her throat, but Woo Yeon ultimately snapped at him.
“Why should I?”
“Because you’re grateful to me.”
“…….”
“And you’ll have many more reasons to be grateful in the future.”
“What do you mean? Why would I have many reasons to be grateful to you?”
Taekyung laughed.
“In the future, if Yun Woo Yeon needs help with anything, I plan to assist.”
“There won’t be.”
“It would be nice if there weren’t, but I’m ready to step in again.”
“…….”
“Then you know? Someday Yun Woo Yeon might accept my offer.”
“I’ve said several times I’m seeing someone.”
“Anchor keeps lying, huh.”
Flustered, Woo Yeon stepped aside as he exited the elevator first.
It was the moment she was certain he had caught onto her lie.
More than that, she hadn’t told him her car’s number, yet he immediately found her car among many in the parking lot.
Woo Yeon hurried to her white sedan, where Taekyung had already taken his place by the passenger seat.
She looked at Taekyung suspiciously before opening the door, worried about being seen by others.
Beep. The sound of the car door opening coincided with him opening the passenger door and taking his seat.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
