Woo Yeon’s face also lit up with deep joy. In this place where she had to compete with everyone, including seniors and peers, to become a lead announcer, Ji Woo was the only one she could open up to.
“What brings you here? Without any contact.”
Ji Woo widened her eyes and glanced at Woo Yeon briefly.
“Oh, don’t be like that! When have we ever needed to contact each other to meet?”
“You’re here at this hour. Is there something you need?”
“Not really, just wanted a change of scenery? Saw the director, met with seniors and peers. They were all talking about you, you know?”
“As expected.”
“Ouch, tough girl. You should at least pretend to be surprised when someone talks behind your back.”
“Why be surprised? It’s not the first or second time.”
“Right, that’s why you managed to surpass Kang Da Hee and take over the main news already.”
“…….”
“Busy? Let’s have dinner together. I have a lot to talk about.”
“You haven’t eaten until now?”
“Yeah! I haven’t. I was waiting to eat with you!”
Woo Yeon nodded.
“Alright, but you’re paying.”
“Of course!”
As she got into her car in the broadcasting station’s underground parking lot, Ji Woo placed a famously expensive brand bag worth several tens of millions of won neatly on her lap.
Though it was obvious at first glance, Ji Woo deliberately emphasized it with strength in her shoulder.
“My husband bought this for me last week.”
“…….”
“I really wanted this. You don’t know how much drama I had to create to get it.”
Woo Yeon smiled slightly.
What would normally be annoying coming from someone else, felt different when it was Ji Woo.
Her honesty, coupled with a bit of goofiness, might not have suited her announcer career, but it was enough to be loved by a man.
Starting the car, Woo Yeon asked Ji Woo.
“So, Madam, where shall we go?”
“What else to say? Of course, to Hansan Hotel. Step on it!”
She pressed the accelerator.
The lounge bar at the top floor of the Hansan Hotel had a distinctly different atmosphere due to the recent renovation.
As they entered, the staff recognized Ji Woo and bowed in unison.
Ji Woo gracefully gestured with her hand low, signaling that she was just here for a meal with a friend, and they shouldn’t fuss over her.
Certainly, here is the English translation of the provided Korean text, preserving the exact line breaks and formatting:
Woo Yeon had to restrain her laughter as she watched this.
“Oh my. Oh my!”
“…….”
“Look, over there. Isn’t that Cha Tae Kyung, the CEO?”
Seo Ji Woo was startled, pointing at a man sitting far off by the window.
Woo Yeon also directed her gaze there. The side profile seemed vaguely familiar, but she thought it might be her imagination.
She quickly lost interest.
Ji Woo, still seated, couldn’t hide her excitement. Thirsty, she gulped down water, resembling a young girl in love.
Woo Yeon chided her jokingly.
“Hey, Madam. You’re still in your honeymoon phase; you shouldn’t be like this.”
“Wait. Is he on a date? I heard he was single. Who is that woman with him? I’ve never seen her before.”
“…….”
Woo Yeon chose not to respond, and Ji Woo turned her head towards her.
She smiled awkwardly.
“Hehe. Sorry, I just got a bit excited.”
Woo Yeon took a sip of water.
“Who is he that you’re so excited?”
“The next CEO of Brighton Airlines.”
“What?”
Brighton is the largest airline in the country, actively investing in not only aviation but also hotels, cargo, and wedding businesses, rapidly expanding its size.
Competing with Yuhan Airlines, Korea’s first airline, for decades, Brighton recently invested aggressively in foreign airlines, earning a higher brand image than Yuhan in recent years.
Being in a profession that hears political news quickly, Woo Yeon also knew that Brighton Airlines was about to change its CEO but never thought she’d run into him so unexpectedly.
The previous CEO had stepped down due to ongoing scandals and tax evasion suspicions.
There had been information about Myeongsan Corporation, Brighton’s parent company, moving to appoint a new CEO.
Woo Yeon leaned towards Ji Woo, intrigued.
“Are you sure?”
Ji Woo frowned slightly.
“Whoa. No way. Don’t leak this yet. I heard it from my husband, so I don’t know the exact details. You’ll fact-check it, of course, but this involves Myeongsan, so it’s a bigger deal than you think.”
“Okay. But how do you know that man is Brighton’s CEO?”
“Ah, I saw him at a gathering I went to with my husband a month ago.”
Ji Woo seemed to recall that moment, her expression turning dreamy.
Woo Yeon chuckled.
“Did you fall for him then?”
“Ah, he was the most fantastically charismatic man I had ever seen.”
“…….”
“From the moment I saw him, I was breathless. Wow! If I wasn’t married, I would have made a move! But my husband said, ‘Cha Tae Kyung is an extremely aloof man.’ Not well-known in Korea, but quite famous abroad.”
“In what way?”
“His arrogance is beyond the sky.”
“…….”
“It’s true! My husband also graduated from NYU. According to alumni, Cha Tae Kyung was a famous outsider in school. But with his outstanding looks and being good at sports and many other things, he was a noticeable character. Imagine how many people tried to talk to him.”
Ji Woo’s next words seemed predictable.
Despite wanting to walk his own path, his natural talent and looks made it impossible to avoid people’s attention.
He would have been noticed wherever he went, receiving tempting glances, showing his thorns amidst it all.
To others, this might have appeared as being aloof. Arrogant, perhaps.
Certainly, here is the English translation of the provided Korean text, preserving the exact line breaks and formatting:
Brighton, Myeongsan. And Cha Tae Kyung.
Unintentionally, Woo Yeon found herself turning around. In that moment, as if by some twist of fate, her gaze locked with the man’s.
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.
