Thinking he was getting along well with the teacher and cooperating, had he himself not also been played on the palm of his son?
“Team Leader Nam. Go to my room and get the cane.”
“CEO.”
“Didn’t you hear me say to get the cane?”
Team Leader Nam, who couldn’t go against his instructions in front of the child, had no choice but to leave the room as if he were being pushed out.
Startled by the sound of the door closing behind him, Seung Yul, left alone with his father, gulped down his dry saliva from the tension.
“I was wrong, I won’t do it again.”
“If you’ve done wrong, you should be punished.”
He tried belatedly to do as Team Leader Nam instructed, but it seemed to have little effect.
“CEO.”
Approaching Team Leader Nam who had opened the door and entered, Gyo Hwan took the cane from his hand and pushed him out.
“Even if there’s a loud noise, don’t let anyone in.”
“Pardon?”
Team Leader Nam, who was simply asked to bring the cane and hadn’t anticipated being chased out like this, was even more taken aback.
“CEO…?”
“Do you want me to repeat the same thing twice?”
With that, Gyo Hwan closed the door with a slam.
Team Leader Nam could only stare blankly at the firmly closed door, unable to muster the courage to open it.
“Come here and roll up your pants. You need to be scolded by your dad today.”
“……”
Hesitant Seung Yul slowly approached the spot pointed out by Gyo Hwan, reluctantly rolled up his uniform pants.
With every fold of his pants, his mouth dried up, and he felt a chill on his exposed calves.
He had heard about beatings before, but never having been hit, he couldn’t tell if his father really intended to hit him now, or if he was just trying to scare him.
Gyo Hwan, who thought he was ready, knelt down in front of Seung Yul and looked up.
“I’m going to hit you ten times from now on. Count the numbers for each hit. If you whine, it’ll increase by one each time. Got it?”
In truth, Seung Yul, who didn’t understand why he had to be hit, bit his lip tightly.
Whoosh.
At the sound of the cane cutting through the air, his knees buckled involuntarily.
“Stand up straight. Didn’t you hear that if you act out, you’ll get an extra hit?”
Seung Yul had no choice but to grip the rolled up uniform pants tightly, and put strength into both legs.
“Stand up straight. This time, I’m really going to hit you.”
Realizing that his words were not a simple warning, Seung Yul clenched his molars tightly.
Whoosh.
“Ah!”
The sensation of the first hit was hot. He thought it was fire, not a cane, that had fallen.
“Aren’t you counting?”
“Ah, one.”
He removed the hand that was rubbing his calf and as soon as he corrected his posture, the cane fell again.
“Ah, two.”
He thought he would be fine as he got used to the second one, but it was much hotter than the first one.
Naturally, the time it took to soothe the burning calf with his palm was much longer than the first.
Whoosh. He couldn’t hold back, and the cane hit his finger.
“Ah!”
Startled, Seung Yul turned around and at least expected his dad to ask if he was okay.
“Move your hand.”
“……!”
“Didn’t you hear me say if you act out, you’ll get an extra hit?”
For a moment, Seung Yul was shocked at the sight of his father, who didn’t flinch a bit, and forgot about the burning pain in his finger.
“Now, you know that clapping is good for the body, right? Stretch once, and let’s clap for health before we start the education.”
Clap, clap, clap! Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!
The kitchen door swung open where the butler Pyo and the maid had gathered.
“Butler Pyo, why aren’t you answering the phone?”
Team Leader Nam, who sprinted across the garden, asked without even catching his breath.
“Why? I set it to vibrate because I was teaching. What’s going on?”
Only then did Butler Pyo take out the cell phone in his pocket and check the missed calls.
“Where is the Lady of the house?”
“The Lady? She went to the hospital with the Queen, it’s the Queen’s regular health checkup today. Why? What’s going on?”
“The Master is scolding Seung Yul, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to end quietly.”
So he was looking for the Lady.
“What? No, why are you telling me this important thing now? Hurry up. Later, when the Lady finds out, she will be furious about what we were doing!”
Forgetting about the education, Butler Pyo immediately pushed Team Leader Nam’s back and headed for the main building.
Whoosh!
“Ah!”
“Get up. Nine again.”
“Why is it nine again? Uh…”
Seung Yul, who had gritted his teeth and endured thinking it was the last time several times, finally burst into tears.
“Get up. Didn’t I tell you that if you whine, you’ll get one more?”
Gyo Hwan repeated the same number each time he hesitated or didn’t count.
“Get up. Are you saying that you did such a bad thing without even preparing for this kind of punishment?”
“Uh…”
Seung Yul had anticipated that his father would not understand even if he told the truth, but he did not expect him to beat him like this.
Why doesn’t my father even blink when I say I’m hurting?
The teacher wipes my tears when I cry.
“Choi Seung Yul. Who’s your mom? You have a mother who gave birth to you. How can you call a home tutor, who has only recently entered your life, mom?”
Your mother has never been called mom while she was alive.
“Get up. I can’t just let it go, thinking of your deceased mother. You need to be scolded more to come to your senses.”
With a swish, the whip carrying his emotions broke powerlessly, but his hand picked up the broken whip again.
“Master, please calm down.”
Team Leader Nam, who burst open the door and came in, spread his arms and blocked Gyo Hwan, who was holding the whip.
In the meantime, Butler Pyo quickly pulled Seung Yul’s arm and held him in his arms.
“Get out of the way. Didn’t I say not to let anyone in? Choi Seung Yul, aren’t you coming out quickly?”
“He has already been scolded a lot. If he gets hit more here, Seung Yul will get hurt. The late Lady wouldn’t want him to be scolded like this.”
The late Lady…!
“…!”
Gyo Hwan, who was glaring fiercely at Team Leader Nam with force in his eyes, had no choice but to put down the whip in the end.
“Go and wash your face.”
Gyo Hwan was incensed as he watched Seung Yul turn around with Butler Pyo, hobbling as if he was not repenting but just whining.
“Choi Seung Yul, can’t you walk properly?”
Hmph, Seung Yul was wronged. It wasn’t that he was whining, he was really hurting.
What happened to our baby? It has already been an hour since I saw Team Leader Nam get out of the car and enter the main building without even changing his uniform.
With the sound of footsteps coming from outside, Hyo Jin, who had been sitting on the bed, jumped up.
“Father, what about Seung Yul?”
“I will send you through Servant Seo, so leave this house immediately.”
Gyo Hwan, who opened the door and entered, didn’t even look at her as if he didn’t want to see her for a second.
“What…?”
Leave this house immediately.
“What about Seung Yul?”
Are we parting without even a goodbye?
Finding it unpleasant even to hear his son’s name from her mouth, Gyo Hwan cut off Hyo Jin’s words as if shutting her mouth.
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.
