“I told you, I’ve found someone I love.”

Perhaps it was the alcohol, but courage surged within her, a courage she usually didn’t have.

“Actually, it’s someone you know too.”

Now that Seungyul knows, I should tell my grandmother as well.

[Dash] Someone I know? Who is that?

“Um, he’s incredibly handsome, intelligent, capable, and he loves me more than anyone.”

[Dash] Oh my, if he’s so amazing, why can’t you proudly reveal who he is? Surely there’s a reason you’re not saying.

Sighing heavily, as if something had clicked, Soon Hye spoke.

[Dash] Wait. Are you… by any chance, dating that kid’s dad whom you teach?

Normally bad at hiding her emotions, Hyo Jin closed her eyes resignedly and then opened them.

“Yes. Shocking, right?”

[Dash] Oh my, I knew it. I figured it out when you moved to the VIP room and paid for my hospital bill.

“Grandma.”

Ignoring her attempt to downplay the situation, Soon Hye snapped back.

– Do you think raising someone else’s child is ordinary? Even if it’s a perceptive nine-year-old and not a clueless infant.

“Why do you keep saying ‘someone else’s child’? He’s my baby. Didn’t you always say when I get married, I should have a child? A baby connects a mother and father.”

Then why is our baby an exception? He’s the bond connecting his dad and me.

[Dash] Do you think it’s as simple as saying?

“Who said it’s easy? But if I give up, then what?”

I promised to be his mother. And all this while, Seungyul has loved me so much.

“If he were your child, would you give up?”

Now, I have to become a real mother, not a fake one.

[Dash] Bring him over immediately. Don’t drink alone like that. Don’t I have to meet him to decide whether I approve or disapprove?

Thinking about how you’ve bottled up all these feelings makes me upset.

[Dash] If I meet him and he turns out to be a weirdo, just know, I might break his legs.

“Ah, you treat the male team leader with such care, and yet you’d snap the legs of the man I love?”

[Dash] Exactly, if I meet him, I won’t let him go. He’s sneaky.

But if he comes, it would mean he truly loves my granddaughter.

“Why are you outside in this cold?”

Ah, that voice.

“Why are you here alone? I was worried.”

Gyo Hwan sat across from her nonchalantly. Seeing him, Hyo Jin snapped back to reality.

“Sorry, grandma. I’ll call you later.”

She hurriedly ended the call and blinked her round eyes.

What if grandma heard everything?

“Dad, how did you know I was here?”

“I told you. I’ve kept a bodyguard on you.”

Otherwise, I’d have been searching for you all night.

“I’m sorry, because of me.”

“Why are you apologizing? I should be the one apologizing.”

“But still, because of Seungyul and me.”

Gyo Hwan sighed deeply, finding the whole situation incredulous.

“Right. Who would’ve known he’d find out?”

And to think I was skittish about getting caught. It’s laughable.

“Have you talked to Seungyul?”

“Don’t even mention it. Even when I asked
“You’ve held back well. I was anxious thinking you might hit him again, but it seems you’ve calmed down. I’ll also treat Seungyul better from now on.”

“Just treat him as you always have. Don’t try too hard to be nicer,”

Gyo Hwan was worried that if she tried too hard to be nice, Seungyul might rebel, which could hurt Hyo Jin as well.

“Did you talk to grandma?”

“Ah, yes.”

Hyo Jin, sensing the mood, took a big gulp from the half-finished beer can.

“She must be quite upset with me. Thinking that a widower is stealing her precious granddaughter.”

Oh no, he heard everything.

Hyo Jin’s ears, already flushed from the alcohol, turned a shade redder.

“Let’s go and greet grandma.”

“What?”

Hyo Jin chuckled softly, glancing up at Gyo Hwan as he draped her coat over her shoulders.

“Now?”

“There’s a saying, ‘Strike while the iron is hot’.”

Now that Seungyul knows…

“Let’s go greet grandma.”

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.
