“Tomorrow? Jiho’s head lifted at the unexpectedly quick decision.
“Really, you’ll come?”
“Is it too soon?”
“No, I like it.”
Whether it was the honest expression or not, Lajin grinned.
“I have a lot of clothes, so there’s quite a bit of small stuff. I don’t think I can move it all at once.”
Lajin suggested moving only what’s needed immediately and taking care of the rest slowly.
“Do whatever is comfortable for Lajin.”
“I’ll be overseas for a week. Please let me know if you change your mind.”
“There’s no chance of that happening.”
Jiho cupped Lajin’s cheek with both hands.
“I want to take you to the company by putting you in here. Do you want to go?”
When Jiho opened his jacket and gestured for her to come in, Lajin’s neckline blushed charmingly. After a moment of hesitation, she lightly pressed her round forehead against his.
“Thank you for accepting my proposal.”
“No, I’m more thankful for Mr. Jiho coming here.”
“In the future, how about the one who’s grateful kisses the other?”
While apologies were prohibited for a while, expressions of gratitude required a suitable reward.
“Starting today.”
As if their lips were about to touch, a wordless distance.
Jiho looked into Lajin’s eyes and brushed against her nose. It was as if he was seeking her permission. At the moment when he swallowed a hot breath, Lajin’s lips touched his. As soon as the long-awaited permission was granted, he didn’t wait any longer.
Unhesitatingly, deeply. He embraced her completely.
“I like Mr. Jiho.”
Her confession burst out with a heated breath.
“If you knew how much I like Lajin, you’d be surprised.”
“How much do you like me?”
Her eyes, tinged with passion, urged for an answer.
“From head to toe.”
Jiho gently nibbled on her soft cheek without hurting her.
“So much that I want to gulp it all down.”
“Hehe, it tickles.”
Lajin twisted her shoulders and giggled.
Is this why people say the human heart is cunning?
Until a moment ago, the future seemed dark due to Kim Yujun’s breakup and Chairman Myungjin’s permission.
But now, as Jiho was close to her like this, he even felt delusions of lying in a vast flower garden.
“Mr. Jiho. It’s already past 8.”
“Just 10 more minutes.”
“If you’re late, what should we do?”
“I need to go to work on time today. So, hug me more.”
It was so regrettable that it was almost painful. If he had his way, he didn’t want to go to work on time but take a vacation altogether.
Jiho pulled Lajin’s back, and he deeply breathed in the rose scent emanating from her tender shoulders. It was like drinking an energy drink; fatigue disappeared, and vitality returned in full swing.
“By the way, I’ll give you our home address and the password.”
“Are there any rules or things I need to be careful about?”
“Eat well, enjoy yourself, and sleep well. That’s our house rule.”
“It’s so tempting; I want to go right away.”
“Will you?”
With a cool response, Lajin tightly embraced Jiho’s shoulders and lightly patted his neck.
At that busy moment when he was engrossed in documents.
“Senior, did everything go well?”
Hojin, who came in for a report, asked, observing Jiho’s expression.
“It went well.”
Actually, Jiho arrived at the office precisely at 8:58. He had to move quickly because he suddenly left and, as soon as he arrived, had to summon Ojonghyuk, who was investigating in another department.
That wasn’t all.
He promptly sent a witness attendance request to Kim Yujun’s lawyer.
After putting out all the urgent fires, Jiho didn’t forget to contact the housekeeper who takes care of the house.
Regardless of how long Lajin would stay, there should be no inconvenience while she’s there. Cleaning was essential to welcome her, and he had to empty half of the dressing room.
The desire to do it himself clashed with the reality that he couldn’t spare the time. He sent pictures of furniture that matched Lajin’s taste to a personal shopper. Dozens of texts and several confirmation calls. He spent the morning organizing all of this neatly.
“Is this the greatness of love?”
“Well, what greatness?”
It seemed like he couldn’t keep his thoughts to himself anymore.
“People say love makes life more flavorful.”
“I feel a bit uncomfortable about adding cold water to Senior’s bright future, but…”
Scratching his head, Hojin handed over a document.
“Kim Yujun’s lawyer submitted a reason for non-attendance.”
Jiho’s sharp gaze quickly scanned the document.
—On the specified date, I inform you that the attendance is not possible as witness Kim Yujun is scheduled for a business trip abroad… We will sincerely cooperate with future investigations.
“Will you adjust the schedule?”
To the cautious junior’s question, Jiho smirked.
Isn’t it just a matter of preventing him from going abroad? Jiho tapped on the schedule he had written down earlier.
“Go into the investigation decision system… Ah! Here it is. Travel ban.”
Jiho briefly noted Kim Yujun’s information and immediately pressed the travel ban button.
“Victims are shedding tears, and he’s leisurely going abroad. Where is the justice in that?”
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
