Arriving near the pension after having lunch at the rest stop, we decided to stop by a nearby cold noodle restaurant for takeout.
“Looks delicious.”
Just looking at the food being served at other tables made my mouth water.
“Didn’t you eat a lot at the rest stop earlier? I only managed to snatch one small potato.”
“I seem to get hungry faster when we’re out having fun.”
“Usually, too…”
Ji Seo Joon couldn’t finish his sentence under my gaze.
“What did you mean earlier, saying it was suspicious?”
“My mom.”
Feeling uneasy, I explained my doubts to Ji Seo Joon.
“The first person to offer to drive us was my mom, right? But then she went with Yoonhee and got in your dad’s car.”
“Yes.”
“Also, even after we left the rest stop to have lunch…”
“What about it?”
“That’s what’s suspicious… Do you think my mom noticed something between us?”
“You said she would keep quiet if she had.”
“True, but leaving us alone to get cold noodles is suspicious too…”
“Don’t overthink it.”
Then he began to gently pinch and pull on my cheeks.
“Sigh.”
“You used to have more elasticity, but lately, it’s not the same.”
“Then go buy some lifting cream.”
Just when I was thinking I should get a new cream, as my lifting cream was running low, our ordered cold noodles arrived.
“You two make a lovely couple.”
The restaurant owner said as he handed us the cold noodles.
“Yes, thank you.”
Before I could deny our relationship, Ji Seo Joon courteously accepted the noodles.
“If your husband is that handsome, even if you get mad, just looking at him would melt your anger. I’m jealous, so jealous.”
The restaurant owner winked at me. A man next to him covered his face with a newspaper. Then, the restaurant owner sighed deeply.
“That’s why I’ve been angry for 35 years.”
When we arrived at the booked pension, our parents had already moved their luggage and were chatting on the sofa.
“There’s a lot of luggage, let’s carry it together.”
Ignoring Ji Seo Joon’s offer to carry it alone, I swiftly entered the pension and called my dads. Each person had to make two trips for the amount of luggage.
Taking a break after unpacking, both Ji Seo Joon and my dad strongly agreed. The men began to find places to lie down.
Ji Seo Joon texted me while I was fiddling with my phone, lying on the blanket in the room that my mom and I would use.
[Are mom and the lady in the living room?]I got up from the futon, peeked through the door, and checked the situation outside.
[Yes, they’re doing something in the kitchen.]I reported the situation to Ji Seo Joon, who was on the second floor.
[Is it impossible to sneak up?] [Absolutely impossible.]I opened the door slightly. Women were sitting in the living room, watching TV. I kept an eye on my moms’ movements, then closed the door and laid back on the futon. My phone vibrated as soon as I laid down.
“Why?”
[Dash]I can’t sleep now that I’m lying down to rest.“Don’t you have a book?”
[Dash]I do, but I want to talk to you more than read a book.Upon hearing Ji Seo Joon’s words, I twiddled the edge of the blanket with my thumb.
“I’d go upstairs using any means possible… but they can see right from the kitchen.”
[Dash]Should we go out for a short walk?While we were talking, the door suddenly burst open.
“What are you doing?”
It was my mom.
“Huh? Ah! That’s voice phishing! I got a call from a voice phishing scam. Do these people not have holidays?”
I irritably ended the call and stood up from my seat.
“But why? Why did you come in?”
“I’m going to change my clothes.”
Fortunately, Mom didn’t seem suspicious. I changed my clothes and immediately went outside. Once Mom was completely gone, I quickly checked my phone and saw a message from Ji Seo Joon.
[This is Prosecutor Ji Seo Joon from the Seoul Prosecutor’s Office. Moon Da Yul’s bank account has been compromised…….]I chuckled at Ji Seo Joon’s text, flipped over the blanket, and started texting back. While exchanging texts, I heard a call from outside and saw moms preparing dinner.
I lent a hand and quickly finished preparing the meal, then had a pleasant dinner time with a glass of alcohol.
We promised to go for a walk after dinner, but due to the moderate alcohol and waking up early in the morning, I eventually fell asleep. When I woke up, it was morning.
Rubbing my eyes and going outside, the adults were having a cup of coffee and chatting.
“Did you sleep well?”
Yoon Hee’s affectionate question came.
“Yes.”
“You should at least wash your face when you come out. Hurry up and wash up. I’m sure Seo Joon already did.”
Mom clicked her tongue. She grumbled about why people who know each other are being so formal, but when I entered the bathroom and washed up, Ji Seo Joon came down from the second floor looking immaculate.
“Why did you wash up so quickly?”
Ji Seo Joon asked me with a wry smile as I came out after washing up.
“I usually wash well.”
“Since when? What’s your ‘usual’ standard?”
Just as Ji Seo Joon and I were about to have an argument, Yoon Hee shouted, “Stop.”
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.
