“To prevent any rumors from reaching Seungyul’s ears, we thoroughly monitored the employees’ entrance, right?”
On a morning before going to work, Exchange, meticulously dressed in a wrinkle-free white shirt with neatly adjusted collar corners and silver cufflinks, fixed his gaze on the mirror more sharply than ever.
“Madam Bong advised the employees once again this morning.”
Absolutely no disclosure about what happened with Master Bong yesterday.
“Let’s go.”
With one eyebrow raised in a haughty manner and a final check of his appearance reflected in the mirror, Exchange, with a firmly closed jaw, left with Manager Nam.
“Dad.”
Just as Seungyul, wearing his school uniform, came out carrying his backpack, Exchange, whose face had quickly softened, approached with an even more relaxed expression.
“Let’s take the car together today, Dad. I’ll give you a ride on the way to work.”
Holding hands affectionately, Exchange, who had come down to the parking lot, personally opened the car’s rear door.
“Dad, when will Teacher’s vacation end?”
Exchange, who was intentionally sitting side by side in the backseat, looked up in surprise without fastening his seatbelt.
Even Manager Nam, who was driving, was tense, staring at Seungyul in the rearview mirror.
“Why all of a sudden?”
Could it be that he already figured it out?
“Did Teacher take a vacation because of me? Did I oppose it?”
In Seungyul’s eyes, wide open in questioning, there was a certain guilt.
“No. It’s not like that.”
It’s not because of you, it’s because of Dad.
“This is a matter between Dad and Teacher, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Exchange, as if saying it was nothing, forced a smile, carefully lifting the corners of his lips.
Noel Law Firm, Conference Room
As the 50th anniversary approached, Jaeik stood on the podium and bowed deeply.
“I apologize for the unfortunate incident first.”
The daughter of the current CEO and the breakup of the attorney representing the corporate merger.
Those who expected harmony and a second leap through their marriage were more sensitive to the breakup than anyone else.
“In the securities market, there’s a rumor spreading that CEO Choi Kyo-hwan had an affair with a home tutor, leading to the breakup.”
Even though they were the founders who created the current Noel together with Chairman Choi Seung-do, the pride in continuing their legacy was tremendous.
Even if he was the successor after Chairman Choi Seung-do, facing the uncomfortable rumors, the commissioners couldn’t hide their displeasure.
“The rumors circulating in the securities market are not all true.”
Jaeik, who had caught Exchange’s weakness, was busy managing his own rumors, fearing that his daughter’s reckless private life might be exposed.
“What are you talking about? The employees saw CEO Choi Kyo-hwan meeting with the tutor at the company.”
The more they heard about their reverse roles, the more awkward Jaeik felt.
It was like falling into a trap that he himself had set.
“No, it’s not like that.”
It’s not because of you, it’s because of Dad.
“This is a problem between Dad and Teacher, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Exchange, as if it were a trivial matter, forced a smile, raising the corners of his lips as he strengthened his jaw.
“Is this the first time you’ve seen each other since the breakup?”
With the lights on the ceiling and a tall stature, broad shoulders. Exchange, boasting an overwhelmingly impressive physique compared to the aged Jaeik, walked up to the platform with firm steps, capturing the attention of the commissioners.
“I apologize for being late. I prepared some materials because I thought you might be curious about why everyone got divorced.”
Heh, Jaeik wanted to fiercely grab Exchange’s raised chin, but he couldn’t do it in front of the commissioners. Instead, he had to clench the fist he held tightly in his pocket, trembling.
“You, what are you doing now? Even if you divorced my daughter, that’s it. It’s not the place, and it’s in front of the commissioners.”
As if he were older, Jaeik scolded Exchange sharply.
From former constitutional judges to the Speaker of the National Assembly, ministers, and the prime minister. If a bad rumor spread here, it would be a matter of time before it spread disgracefully in all directions.
Especially for Jaeik, who had planned to enter politics when Exchange married Hanna, this kind of gossip was a significant blow.
Exchange knew this well, and that’s why he carried out such antics.
“Rather than explaining in a hundred words, I thought it would be easier for you to understand by watching the video.”
Seeing the hint of a smirk on Jaeik’s face, Exchange coldly smiled with his lips, looking at the commissioners.
“Moreover, there are several difficult reasons not to welcome Representative Kang Jaeik’s daughter as a lifelong companion, but we won’t disclose them here. It wouldn’t be fun to reveal everything at once.”
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.

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.
