Seo Rin’s pupils sparkled and she felt a radiant feeling.
Would it be better to give her a hopeful answer?
Ye Seul was of the mind to end this marriage before she met Si Heon and heard his proposal.
She thought it was natural for Baek Si Heon to build a normal family with another woman once they were freed from the chains of their sevenyear political marriage.
She knew this, but now it was irritating her, like the remnant under the edge of her fingernails.
“I don’t feel the need to tell Ms. Seo Rin.”
She brushed off the coat heavy with Si Heon’s scent with her hand.
“I was the one who was waiting for your divorce the most.”
The strength poured into Ye Seul’s hand as her brows furrowed, and she fiddled with the coat.
“So you made things difficult for me?”
“Because I thought Chloe was hindering your happiness.”
Ye Seul squinted as if she had a headache.
Was it not that Seo Rin leaked the design to make things difficult for Ye Seul?
“The reason why Mr. Si Heon and I are maintaining this marriage is to make each other happy.”
Perhaps……. And at least Ye Seul thought so.
The fact that she had left to become Patissier, without following in her grandmother’s footsteps, had always been a burden to Ye Seul.
She thought of reclaiming what her grandmother had left behind as a form of atonement for that.
“Don’t feel too bad. I was just worried about Si Heon getting hurt.”
“You don’t have to worry about that anymore.”
Ye Seul pouted her lips and lifted her chin.
“Because as his wife, I plan to look after him.”
Seo Rin’s face in the rearview mirror seemed to crumple and harden.
Even if Seo Rin was annoying, it was too much of a declaration from Ye Seul. As if she was really his wife……
Did her feelings shift because Si Heon kept treating Ye Seul like his wife?
Ye Seul turned her gaze back to the window.
The lights of the still awake streets twinkled.
Closing her eyes, she thought about how different it was from the quiet Parisian night.
((()))((()))((()))
On the opening day of C’deux Coeur at the Baek Song Hotel.
Thanks to the reputation of C’deux and the continuous promotion, there was no shortage of customers.
People had been lining up since dawn to get their hands on the Christmas cake, the limited edition products of C’deux Coeur’s opening, and the novelties.
The secret cake that opened at midnight, the Buche de Noel wishing for a happy Christmas, was fully booked within an hour of opening.
“Congratulations! Ye Seul!”
Joo Young bounced around the kitchen and hugged Ye Seul.
“Chloe! We did it.”
“I was so worried about what would happen yesterday!”
“Making such a perfect cake in such a short time, Chloe. You are really amazing!”
Kim, the deputy, and the members of the Seed Core team also showed up at the store to congratulate on the achievement.
“Wow! It looks really delicious!”
“I came from the provinces because I want to reserve a Christmas cake.”
“It’s like what I ate when I went to France.”
“Wow! It’s beautiful.”
Looking at the chocolates, which were like jewels filling the showcase, the guests let out cheers of excitement.
The faces of people leaving the store, holding Seed Core shopping bags full of chocolates in both hands, were filled with happy smiles.
Ye Seul constantly smiled as she sneakily watched the expressions of the guests from the kitchen.
“Do they like it that much?”
Ju Young poked her head out and asked.
Ye Seul nodded her head and put the raw chocolate tart into the oven.
“People are happy. If I think of it as a miracle caused by a chocolate dessert, I love what I’m doing.”
Ye Seul regretted that she couldn’t show this scene to Si Heon.
Was it because she wanted to be recognized by Si Heon for her abilities, not simply because they were business partners?
“You really have a calling.”
Ju Young laughed and stared at the store through the kitchen window.
“Isn’t there too many soldout products? We need to speed up.”
Ye Seul and the kitchen staff were busy moving their hands.
“Ah! CEO!”
When Ye Seul raised her head, Ju Young laughed.
“Wow! Look at your reaction.”
“What is it?”
Ju Young hummed a tune with his eyes squinted.
“All day, your hands move, but it seems like your soul isn’t here. What’s the reason you keep staring at the door?”
Ju Young recalled what Kyu Won casually asked him the day after the company dinner.
‘Does the CEO come to pick up the chef, do you know what their relationship is?’
‘Well, ask them directly if you’re curious. Maybe they’re dating.’
Ju Young answered nonchalantly, but he already noticed the subtle atmosphere between Ye Seul and Si Heon.
“Wouldn’t he come if the chef calls and asks him to come?”
“Stop talking nonsense and let’s work. Sous chef!”
“Are you not angry? Isn’t it annoying that the CEO doesn’t even show his nose on opening day? There was such a fuss yesterday.”
Yesterday, Si Heon stopped by and encouraged them briefly before the new design of Buche de Noel was completed.
The Buche de Noel, designed to image the snow crystal particles scattered from the angel’s wings, looked warm and beautiful.
They decorated the white chocolate pieces delicately so they wouldn’t break.
‘Chloe. You worked hard.’
With a curt greeting devoid of any particular expression, he asked Ye Seul about the design.
‘The final reindeer design was drawn two days ago. The design shoes are kept in the sample room.’
Si Heon seemed lost in thought for a moment, then he thanked everyone for their hard work and returned to the office.
Ye Seul hadn’t seen Si Heon since then.
It seemed he had come and gone while Ye Seul was asleep, leaving only his coat behind.
“Isn’t it about time you gave us a bonus for today’s sales?”
“Thank goodness we didn’t cover up the design leak, suspecting our employees, right?”
Gyu Won interrupted, carrying a tray of Bonbon chocolates.
“Hardly, we all saw the final design two days ago, it’s too much.”
Joo Young stuck out her lips.
“The time of the leak doesn’t really matter. If they need a scapegoat, we’re the easiest targets. The higherups always do more to avoid responsibility.”
“…… Gyu Won, it seems busy outside, please replenish quickly.”
Ye Seul deflected, fearing that they might start badmouthing Si Heon.
But even as the afternoon passed, she peered at the door several times.
Was she upset at the boss who assigned work but didn’t show up?
Was she upset at her husband, who was difficult to meet even at home?
“Oh! Boss!”
When Joo Young stretched her neck out and spoke, Ye Seul laughed.
“I won’t fall for it twice.”
“Who could have fooled the chef?”
Ye Seul’s eyes widened and her plump lips parted.
“Boss. I thought you wouldn’t come……”
“Have you been waiting?”
Si Heon tilted his head and met her gaze.
Ye Seul turned her head away with a coy expression.
“…… I have no reason to wait.”
“You seem upset. I came to see you, Ye Seul.”
Si Heon gently smiled and reached out to touch Ye Seul’s face.

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.
