“We met at an alumni gathering today and hit it off, so I brought him home for a drink. Capable businessmen have a good eye for people. We have a lot to learn from each other, don’t we? Both I and President Cha try our best in our respective leadership positions, but we are ultimately meant to meet in the highest circles.”
What nonsense.
Park Min Gwon’s rambling held no impact.
It was as if a barking dog was making noise, neither pleasant nor irritating.
Woo Yeon had never had a good impression of Park Min Gwon from the start.
Even when Seo Ji Woo first introduced him to her, his subtle flirtations were quite off-putting.
His incessant calls and meetings under the pretense of seeing Woo Yeon were unbearable. When she was about to tell Seo Ji Woo the truth, ironically, that day Seo Ji Woo announced their marriage.
Under her bright smile asking for congratulations, Woo Yeon couldn’t say anything.
Luckily, Seo Ji Woo was chasing an ideal, preferring the title of a chaebol’s daughter-in-law over love.
Woo Yeon understood this and merely gave Park Min Gwon a warning.
“Are you really going to marry her?”
“That’s the plan.”
“Do you love Ji Woo?”
“Marriage isn’t child’s play. You think I’d marry Ji Woo without any feelings? She’s a nobody.”
Recalling his casual use of ‘nobody’ and the way he nonchalantly uttered it, Woo Yeon bit her lip and warned him.
“Then you better be careful in the future.”
She vividly remembers his twisted face from that time.
Although Seo Ji Woo lied, Park Min Gwon’s character was clear from his intention to drink at home with a guest while his wife was supposedly sick.
Still the same, aren’t you.
Drink to your heart’s content with noble people. I’ll excuse myself.
As Woo Yeon turned to leave, this time Seo Ji Woo grabbed her.
“Woo Yeon.”
“…….”
“Sit. President Cha is here too, so just drink a little more.”
Her words were firm, but her eyes were wildly shaking.
You’re going to kill me if you leave like this!
Please, just stay a little longer!
Please, Yun Woo Yeon? Okay?
Woo Yeon shook her head.
No. I’m leaving.
Seo Ji Woo blinked rapidly, emphasizing her desperate plea.
Ah. Why can I read all of Seo Ji Woo’s telepathy at times like this?
“I know you too well.”
“Do I know you too well?”
Having no choice, Woo Yeon sat back down, and Taekyung took the opposite seat as if on cue.
She thought it was a bit funny.
Is he following me or something? Why do we keep running into each other?
Now, this scene has become all too familiar. Facing his beautiful appearance.
In the strange atmosphere, Park Min Gwon changed the drink.
Small vodka glasses filled with ice were filled one by one.
As Woo Yeon quietly looked at her glass that seemed likely to overflow, Park Min Gwon subtly pointed at it.
“Drink.”
Woo Yeon indifferently took the glass and downed it in one gulp.
The strong alcohol burned down her throat.
Just as her face involuntarily scrunched up from the potency, her gaze met Taekyung’s, as if by coincidence.
She didn’t look away but faced him head-on.
“We see each other often.”
“Seems so. I thought you’d be busy, but apparently not?”
It felt like a backhanded remark about her declining his invitation to meet for dinner.
Woo Yeon smiled silently and then continued.
“Were you and President Park close from before?”
“Thinking of starting from today. What about you, Yun Woo Yeon? Are you close with President Park?”
“Hardly.”
Taekyung straightforwardly accepted her cold response.
Sensing the meaningful exchange between the two, Park Min Gwon tapped his fingers on the table, clearly irked by Woo Yeon’s response.
“You talk about me so casually right in front of me? But you two seem closer than I thought.”
The air became tense.
Seo Ji Woo tried to lighten the mood, noticing the awkwardness.
“Woo Yeon is quite sociable in private. She’s good at starting conversations and making people feel comfortable. Maybe that’s why she got close to President Cha so quickly.”
At her words, Park Min Gwon frowned.
“Is that so? Really, Woo Yeon?”
As if to say, ‘Why were you so unfriendly to me then?’ he raised his eyebrows.
“It’s strange. I heard you’re famous at the broadcasting station.”
“….”
“Yun Anchor, you pick and choose your friends.”
“….”
“Great to some, and harsh to others, they say.”
I knew this would happen. Conversations with Park Min Gwon always end like this.
Feeling queasy, Woo Yeon stood up.
“I’ll be back from the restroom.”
When she returned from the restroom, only Taekyung remained at the table.
Surprised, she inquired about the others, and Taekyung quietly gestured toward the master bedroom.
“Ah.”
It seemed like the couple was arguing.
Park Min Gwon was probably confronting Seo Ji Woo about why she lied about being sick and missed the engagement ceremony, and Seo Ji Woo was rebuking him for being inconsiderate to her close friend.
Seeing an opportunity, Woo Yeon glanced at her bag, but Taekyung asked her.
“Do you usually treat someone well?”
“….”
“Because they said you’re great to some and harsh to others.”
Woo Yeon didn’t respond. Instead, she looked at the front door, thinking of leaving, when Taekyung leaned his chin on his hand.
“If you leave now, it’ll make things harder for Seo Ji Woo. Why not just sit down? If I’m not making you uncomfortable.”
“….”
“They’ll probably be back soon.”
Woo Yeon sighed, straightened up, and regretted coming here.
Woo Yeon thought that it would have been better if she had just gone alone to an unknown place and drowned herself in alcohol until she fell asleep, forgetting who the woman wearing the mask of Jo In Young was.
Seeing her eyes become hazy, Taekyung spoke up again.
“Shall we just leave, the two of us?”
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.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
