His reminder of her crying was a significant blow. Somewhere along the line, crying in front of others had become as embarrassing as showing all your cards.
She would have rather been labeled a harsh woman. Rather than showing such weakness, she had always preferred to be seen as heartless and tearless.
윤우연 covered her burning cheeks with her palms.
“I was drunk that day….”
“Did you really like that man?”
“…….”
Ironically, 태경 showed clear emotion for the first time. It was jealousy.
She distinctly felt 태경’s emotion, making her cheeks burn even hotter.
But her reply did not lose the dignity of anchor 윤우연.
“What answer do you want?”
“…….”
“I can’t understand why you keep asking when you already know who I dated and how we broke up.”
She too wanted to know how much 태경 knew.
The 서지우 she knew wouldn’t have spoken about her relationship with 김민준 to anyone.
But he knew. There are no secrets in the world.
Someone must have known.
About the long two-year relationship.
태경, with a languid and playful smile, clinked his last drink.
“It seems odd that you cried that day, especially when you two weren’t in a deeply affectionate relationship.”
“…….”
“Shouldn’t 김민준 be the one crying, not 윤우연?”
Again, he casually exposed his knowledge with a tone feigning a monologue.
As expected.
He knew everything.
Her mouth was full of saliva.
The thought that he could uncover more if he wished tightened her heart.
She didn’t want to be exposed. Even if he found out everything about her past, she desperately hoped he would never know the story of her lost mother and sister.
It was a deep wound and hatred lodged in 윤우연’s heart, a secret she never wanted anyone to uncover.
She wished to carry it alone until the last moment of her life.
Those who abandoned her.
And those she abandoned.
…Their story.
윤우연 watched 태경 empty his last glass with a blurry gaze.
“So, will you help me?”
태경 picked up his jacket.
“Of course, as per the master’s wish.”
“…….”
“Let’s leave the reward for that day. Ah, prepare something sweet and delicious.”
“…….”
“I’ll contact you when I’m ready.”
It was four days later when 태경 contacted 윤우연.
Receiving PT at the gym, 윤우연 chuckled at his unilateral appointment message, mentioning only the place and time.
She wiped the sweat beading on her forehead.
“Sorry, I need to check a message.”
After sending a reply to 태경, she turned around.
Ziiing[Dash]
Ziiing[Dash]
Sighing at the successive messages, this time it was from 김민준.
[윤우연, please answer my call.] [Let’s meet. I want to talk… please.] [Where are you? I’ll come there now. Give me a call.]
She dumped all his piled-up messages into the trash. Erased his phone number and all traces.
What else to do?
She had no intention of indulging the regrets of a man about to be married. 윤우연 only wished for them to live their separate lives.
Leaving the gym, 윤우연 called 염 기자 on her way home.
Upon arriving, she quickly showered and prepared. The live broadcast ended at 8:20 PM.
The time 태경 requested was exactly at 9 PM. Luckily, it wasn’t the peak traffic hour, but there was still a risk of being late.
She contemplated calling to delay by 10 minutes but decided against it.
Since joining the broadcasting station, she had been continuously working on news scripts. On Wednesdays and Fridays, due to different scheduling, she had to be more attentive.
After revising the headline three times due to 송 국장’s feedback, who always seemed to find a fault, she finally got the approval.
[Okay. Let’s go with that.]
윤우연 entered the editing room after getting the go-ahead. Knocking on the door, she pushed herself in.
“Coffee delivery.”
At her arrival, the technical director in the room with 염 기자 conveniently stepped out.
윤우연 handed him the coffee she had brought.
“Thanks, 윤 앵커. I’ll enjoy this.”
“Sure.”
As soon as the technical director was out of sight, 염 기자 gulped down the coffee 윤우연 had brought.
“Today, right?”
“Yes, they contacted me.”
“Nervous?”
“A bit, maybe?”
“Don’t act timid when you can handle it. Come here.”
He took out a miniature camera from his bag and explained its simple operation.
Though 윤우연 had accompanied 염 기자 on undercover assignments as a junior and received explanations, he added that camera technology had recently improved.
His unusual wink, along with his good luck wishes, made 윤우연 feel an unprecedented level of tension.
When did revealing the truth to the world become such a risky endeavor?
The hidden world of those concealing secrets and those chasing after them. The news is indeed a challenging and complicated field.
“You can do it.”
You’ll succeed splendidly again, and the world will be all on your side.
Even if not today, such a day will come eventually.
윤우연. Don’t give up on anything.
Dressed in her school uniform, reciting an old spell she used to murmur every morning as she left home, 윤우연 exited the editing room.
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
