“I’ve received information that the actor has left the country.”
“Talk to the local team and check Lajin’s whereabouts. Find out in detail what she’s doing.”
“Yes. Vice President.”
Yujun wanted to change his relationship with Lajin this time.
He must have officially received permission for marriage, decided to end the tiresome engagement with Jinae, and there was no reason to continue being like siblings. However, the preparations he had made had all turned into bubbles.
“Ha, I don’t like it.”
Lajin was generally kind but never allowed him to get close. She was so cautious by nature, and she felt burdened by Jinae’s presence, so she always let it go.
But lately, Lajin’s atmosphere seemed different.
What should I say? A feeling of drifting further away? It was annoying that something subtly turned colder without being able to express it in words.
“Director Hyun, check on Lajin’s mother’s condition.”
Her only weakness.
He hadn’t thought of going this far, but if Lajin had other thoughts, he needed an excuse to hold her back. To Yujun, Lajin was love and everything.
“Lajin isn’t in Korea either. Should we visit the hospital?”
He chuckled instead of using the term “future son-in-law.”
“After the witness investigation is over. How about that?”
“I’ll adjust the schedule.”
The director responded coolly.
How nice it would be if Lajin behaved as gracefully as the director. If she just did that, she would be the happiest person. She didn’t want or wish for anything. She repeated words like “It’s okay” as if she had resigned herself to everything. So maybe that’s why he couldn’t be at ease.
“And update the information around Lajin.”
“Yes. I’ll take care of it.”
“Director Hyun, as for you, stay by my side until you die.”
Yujun said it, and even though it was cheesy, he laughed. But the director nodded heavily as if he meant it.
“I’ll do my best for Vice President.”
“There’s nothing I like except you.”
A small interrogation room with no windows.
Jiho had never encountered someone so shameless by nature before.
“I’ll pass on any questions that might disadvantage me!”
He didn’t want to face Oh Jong-hyuk, but he had no choice but to face him. Jiho, who had been staring intently at Oh Jong-hyuk, covered the documents with a thud.
“Saying you don’t know is more disadvantageous. Remember that.”
“Heh! Now you’re speaking informally just because you went out to answer a call from your lawyer?”
“Why can’t you do it to me if you’re doing it to yourself?”
For a moment, Jiho’s eyes flashed as if he could devour him.
“Wow. Now you’re blatantly coercing me.”
“Coercion? Who? Me?”
When Jiho looked at the investigator sitting next to him, he shrugged and shook his head.
“Well, if you consider the investigator as one. Ask the prison guard.”
As if asking for support, Oh Jong-hyuk gestured to the prison guard sitting right behind him.
“Guard, did I coerce him?”
“I’ve only seen a suspect who swears and speaks informally.”
“He thinks he’s fooled just because he eats Korean food, doesn’t he?”
His blood boiled from Oh Jong-hyuk’s vulgar expression.
“What on earth is O Jeong-gyu like as a father? Before he died, O Jeong-gyu’s reputation wasn’t that bad. Lajin’s memories, even the diary found in the fake drain, show that. He was a perfectly fine person.
Personality cannot be judged as a genetic trait, but Oh Jong-hyuk was an exception among exceptions.
Who is ordering him to do this? Or is he doing it on purpose because he wants to escape as if he’s mentally unstable?
Oh Jong-hyuk was so absurd that it led to reasonable suspicion.
“I’ve come up with a brilliant idea.”
Jiho, leaning toward Oh Jong-hyuk, who seemed uninterested, whispered very gently.
“How about if you tell Kim Yujun that you spilled everything, what do you think?”
“What, what?”
“You’re ridiculous to us. Then you should bring the person you fear the most.”
When Jiho took out the press card, Oh Jong-hyuk’s shoulders trembled. He would shiver even at the name Kim Yujun. Jiho’s mouth curled up.
“Think carefully from now on and answer questions directly.”
“Huh, sir.”
“Sir? Did you just call me ‘sir’ after calling the prosecutor ‘sir’ a moment ago?”
Jiho, glaring at Oh Jong-hyuk, who had lost basic courtesy, opened his eyes. He paused like a frozen screen.
“After this investigation, please be sincere. An, swer!”
“Ha… okay.”
“Now, let me ask you again about the overseas investment loss.”
The investigation into Oh Jong-hyuk, which started at 9 a.m., didn’t end until after lunch.
How much he squeezed the truth out. Even working together with Lajin, who is also a family member, was admirable.
“What is our Lajin doing now?”
After expressing annoyance, Jiho rested his head on the backrest. It would be nice to see a photo taken with her at a time like this. Now that he thought about it, there wasn’t a single photo of him with her.
Should he give her a day off when she comes back, or should he not? When he was contemplating, Jiho’s phone rang.
“Ah!”
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.
