“Why did you call? Did something happen when I wasn’t here?”
“…!”
Nervous, Seungyul involuntarily held her breath.
“No, nothing happened.”
Seungyul sighed. She couldn’t understand it at all. What was the point of standing there silently after being caught in the cold wind? Was that what happened when you loved someone?
Feeling upset, Seungyul returned to her room, sat on the floor, gathered her knees, and buried her face.
Teacher, you’re a fool. A real fool.
“I’ll handle tomorrow morning’s meeting via email. If it’s absolutely necessary to attend, please arrange for a phone call in the afternoon.”
“I will handle the morning meeting via email tomorrow. If it’s absolutely necessary to attend, please arrange for a phone call in the afternoon.”
As the instructions from Gyo Hwan on the other end of the line echoed through the receiver, the male team leader, who had been listening half-asleep, asked,
[Dash] What’s going on at your place?
“I’m staying by Bom’s side because she’s not feeling well.”
[Dash] Bom is sick? She seemed perfectly fine when I called earlier.As if finding it strange, Gyo Hwan adjusted his mobile phone and asked, “Why? What did you hear when I called earlier?”
[Dash] Well, Bom told me not to say anything about it.“Tell me. What did she say?”
[Dash] Well, during the conference, she clearly said she was waiting for the CEO outside.“Outside?”
She didn’t make the call, and in this weather?
[Dash] Yes. I made an appointment with the CEO for that time.
Ha, was there any way she could have told me to come out at that time? We were right in the middle of a meeting.
[Dash] That’s what I thought was strange too, but Bom told me not to tell the CEO.
“All right.”
So, that’s why she caught a cold.
After ending the call, Gyo Hwan checked once more to see if he had missed any messages from Hyo Jin, but there was nothing.
It’s really as if ghosts are howling.
After finishing the call in the living room, Gyo Hwan crossed over to Hyo Jin’s room.
“Tell me honestly. Did something happen that I don’t know about?”
Hyo Jin, lying on the bed, had not even changed out of her work clothes, and she extended her hand to Gyo Hwan, who had come to her room once again.
“Ah, I must have been mistaken. I called my friend, not my father’s number, right?”
It hadn’t been long since Yul had become close to her, but she worried that her own actions might distance the two of them unnecessarily.
Besides, it wasn’t even certain what Yul knew at this point.
Ding dong.
“CEO.”
The butler, who had received instructions from Gyo Hwan outside and brought a tray of abalone porridge, knocked on the door.
“Is Miss Bong feeling better?”
As he tried to come in, Gyo Hwan took the tray with the abalone porridge.
“Give it to me, and please leave.”
“Yes?”
The butler, who had intended to stand in for Gyo Hwan and be with Hyo Jin, was quite embarrassed.
“Madam asked me to stay instead.”
“I’ll handle it myself, so please leave.”
“Yes. Understood.”
The person who should be given top priority in this house, as well understood by Butler Pyo, was none other than Gyo Hwan. However, that was a matter for anyone observing.
Butler Pyo nodded in agreement, well aware of who should be prioritized. However, it was a matter for those who would witness it.
With her head bowed, Butler Pyo waited until Gyo Hwan closed the door. She was Jahyeon’s most faithful servant.
“Ma’am, please get up and have a bite of this.”
From behind the thick door, the sound of Gyo Hwan opening the lid of the ceramic pot containing abalone porridge and stirring it with a spoon could be heard.
“Open your mouth. I’ll feed you.”
Ah! The mouth of Butler Pyo, who had been listening from outside, slightly fell open.
When she opened the door a bit, she saw Gyo Hwan spoon-feeding the porridge herself.
Moreover, isn’t he even wiping away the porridge on her lips? His touch was so affectionate that it seemed like the deceased Samo had come back to life.
Just like the day Bong Teacher came to Sangrimwon for the first time…!
Oh my, CEO Choi Gyo Hwan really likes Bong Teacher.
His mother, Jahyeon, would never admit it out of pride, but Butler Pyo, who had been with him since he was even younger than Seung Yul, was convinced.
CEO Choi Gyo Hwan had fallen deeply in love with Bong Teacher.
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.
