A manager? Why would someone who knows that I stay at home on days without a schedule suddenly want to talk? La Jin’s eyes widened at the thought that the person might have come to her house.
“I’ll make a call.”
“Should I step out?”
“No, it’s okay.”
La Jin quickly pressed the call button after receiving the phone.
“Yes, Hyunsik.”
[Why do you answer calls so late?]“I overslept. Why, what’s the matter?”
Given that she did oversleep and her voice sounded like someone who just woke up, she probably wouldn’t be suspected. La Jin casually asked Hyunsik.
[The lawyer in charge of the president couldn’t get in touch with the actress.]“The lawyer is looking for me?”
[Uh, yeah. It seems there’s a bit of a problem with the president.]“What difference does it make to tell me? Contact the current director.”
[I tried contacting him already, but he seemed annoyed. He just said to come to the office.]It seemed like Kim Yujun had firmly decided to fix Oh Jonghyuk’s bad habits.
Is this where a gap forms in the relationship between these two? Perhaps, to Oh Jonghyuk, Kim Yujun ignoring him now might be scarier than being caught at the airport.
Suddenly, in La Jin’s mind, the image of Oh Jonghyuk, with tired eyes, staying up all night in prison flashed.
When did he demand money from her, and when did he ask for a lawyer’s help? Was he asking her to fix the mess he created? La Jin sighed openly, losing words.
[You met with the vice president yesterday, right? I thought you should know.]“He told me to ignore it.”
[What? What are you saying!]As if it was an unexpected development, Hyunsik let out a scream that wasn’t a scream. Startled by the scream, La Jin’s shoulders twitched, and Jiho quickly hugged her.
[If the vice president ignores it, what will happen to the president? What will happen to the president?]Even La Jin’s throat felt choked by the question. When did Oh Jonghyuk tell her to ignore it? He told her about his wrongdoings when he demanded money, didn’t he?
“He said the vice president would fix Oh Jonghyuk’s bad habits.”
At La Jin’s words, Hyunsik let out a sigh as if the ground had collapsed.
Why ask me? La Jin’s frustration rose to her throat. When was the right time to reveal the information, given that they knew about Oh Jonghyuk’s misdeeds beforehand?
“Hyunsik, did you know that my brother was doing something illegal?”
[Why would I have the power to stop the president? I’m just saying what I think.]“What power could I possibly have? The vice president told me not to care about it.”
[Well, did he say anything else? No, our current director wants to meet soon, and I’m worried.]If Hyunsik was acting as Minjin’s spy, not reporting Oh Jonghyuk’s gambling could be a problem. Whether she sensed danger instinctively or not, the manager’s voice was desperate.
“Well, you know, I’ll be busy for a while because of the special prosecutor. Just wished you well.”
Without adding or subtracting, La Jin spoke only the truth.
[Actress, please help me.]“Suddenly, what is it?”
[Something feels off. The current director called early in the morning.]“I’m having a hard time too. Just go and speak honestly about anything.”
There was no other answer than that, and Hyunsik repeatedly called La Jin ‘Actress.’ Although the current director was a person with a strict sense of time, he wasn’t the type to cross the line forcefully.
Could there be another mistake? Otherwise, why would there be such a fuss? La Jin couldn’t understand it willingly.
“I have nothing else to say. Don’t be late to someone as punctual as the current director. Go on.”
With that, La Jin pressed the end call button. Watching people every day, being mean when he pleased, and now clinging because he was dissatisfied. La Jin shook her head in disbelief.
“The manager must have been very surprised.”
Jiho, who had been pretending to sleep, finally spoke as if he knew.
“It seems Oh Jonghyuk ordered it. The lawyer called several times. The manager was summoned by the current director.”
“What kind of person is this current director?”
Although La Jin often saw the current director, she had no particular memories of him. He always followed Kim Yujun like a shadow, and she never saw him laugh or get angry.
“Kim Yujun was with him even when he was a college student. It’s probably a long-lasting relationship.”
Other than that, La Jin’s words that she didn’t know anything made Jiho’s eyes sharp. However, it was only for a moment, and he smiled and brushed La Jin’s bangs aside.
“Thanks to La Jin, I slept well.”
“It was dark, so I thought it was night and fell asleep. I’m sorry I couldn’t see the sunrise.”
Kang Jiho, unaware of how many layers of blankets he had piled up, didn’t even realize that the sun was scorching.
“We can easily solve that problem. Just come often.”
“Can I come again?”
Jiho nodded in response to La Jin’s question. Then he pressed La Jin’s cheek firmly.
“Here, the mark hasn’t faded yet.”
“!”
Caught off guard by the sudden call, she hadn’t thought about how she looked when she woke up.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
