“Why did you give up on the work you loved so much?”
At Min Woo’s question, Ji Yeon looked at him as if it was absurd, then unwittingly burst out laughing.
Seeing her laughter, Min Woo frowned.
“What’s so funny?”
“Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?”
“Why would I ask if I knew?”
Cha Min Woo looked at Ji Yeon with a face of pure ignorance, as if he had truly forgotten the words he had once spoken.
Ji Yeon was incredulous at his attitude.
The words ‘it’s because of you and your mother’ rose to her throat, then receded.
Seeing him like this, she suddenly remembered Kang Ju Ran, who had shown up at her office out of the blue a few days before their wedding.
The woman had appeared at her office without any prior arrangement and boldly told Ji Yeon to have a baby as soon as they were married.
And she told Ji Yeon to quickly quit her job and pay more attention to being Cha Min Woo’s wife.
With Ju Ran’s incessant nagging and the gap between her and Min Woo that didn’t narrow, Ji Yeon raised the white flag and quit her job within a year of marriage.
“Do you really need to know why now? Just stay ignorant like you did before when you didn’t care.”
Ji Yeon turned her head towards the window with a stern expression and said.
An awkward silence filled the car again until they arrived home.
“I’ll check through Secretary Choi about your joining the company, so be aware.”
“Mr. Min Woo.”
“Just listen to me.”
Ji Yeon could only make an incredulous face at Min Woo’s attitude, as if he still had something going on.
“I don’t think this is right. Why should I go there? We won’t be seeing each other in a few months.”
“You know my father’s temperament. He’s the type to carry on once he’s decided something. You know that better than anyone. He would never tolerate you working in another company. You want to announce the divorce six months later, right? You said you’re preparing this and that in the meantime. If you don’t want to make a fuss, just come out. We can worry about the future later.”
“But……”
“It’s just the same work in a different place. What’s the problem? Don’t cause unnecessary trouble, just quietly come out. I don’t mind if you join our company, it doesn’t bother me. But if you’re really uncomfortable, you can quit after we get divorced in six months.”
‘To you, it might mean nothing, but for me, it’s a significant matter as I’m making a new start.’
Min Woo made light of Ji Yeon’s employment, as if it was nothing important. Although her temper flared at his attitude, Ji Yeon, knowing the temperament of Chairman Cha as she did, held her tongue.
If she didn’t agree to this, sharpeyed Chairman Cha would definitely notice something was wrong, and word could get to Ji Yeon’s home.
It wasn’t time yet. Even soothing her own feelings was difficult right now.
And the true feelings buried deep in her heart resurfaced, troubling Ji Yeon’s mind.
The team she had always wanted to join.
If she refused and broke up with Min Woo, there would be no chance ever.
It was just a moment. A moment before breaking up with him.
Ji Yeon’s vacillating heart had slowly leaned to one side.
Rrrr Rrrr
At that time, Se Ah had been continuously calling Min Woo.
“Mr. Min Woo, why are you making people so anxious?”
But no matter how many times she redialed, Min Woo did not answer the call, and only the ringtone could be heard.
He said he was going to visit his parents with that woman today.
Why would people who are getting a divorce do that?
Min Woo’s exwife, no, she couldn’t be called exwife yet, but Eun Ji Yeon was definitely not planning to let Min Woo go.
Her desperate attempt to cling to Min Woo under any ludicrous pretense was clearly visible.
By dragging out the time, she ultimately wouldn’t let Min Woo go.
Min Woo had told her that the official divorce process would be carried out six months later.
But he did not reveal the full story, although it seemed there was more to it.
About an hour later, she received a call from Min Woo.
“Mr. Min Woo!”
Se Ah! What’s up? Why did you call so much? I had my phone on vibrate so I didn’t know you called.
‘You’re lying. You didn’t answer because you were with her.’
Thoughts that she couldn’t voice out filled her mind.
“I was wondering what time you would be coming back. I was planning to eat together if you came back early, have you eaten?”
I told you I was going out for dinner. I’m on my way now. It won’t take long.
“Okay. I miss you, Min Woo, please hurry back.”
Se Ah replied while biting her nails nervously.
About 20 minutes later, hearing the sound of the door code being entered, Se Ah ran to the door and flung herself into Min Woo’s arms as he entered.
“Mr. Min Woo. I missed you.”
“Couldn’t stand being apart and missed me? Did you eat dinner, my Se Ah?”
Min Woo gave Se Ah a peck on the lips and looked at her as if she were adorable.
“I just ordered something simple from a delivery app. I guess because it’s downtown, there are many good restaurants around here.”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
