“I’ve done what I could, and I have no intention of overlooking it anymore. Promise me that there won’t be such a shameful begging in front of Yeonhwa from now on.”
It was Taehui, not Sajun, who was surprised by Yongjin’s words.
Charismatic Chairman Kang from Seomun was known for being an affectionate father.
However, to strictly regulate the woman he loves so terribly for the sake of his son.
“If you want Seomun, I, too, will gladly support you with my father. Even if I hate you, I hope you lead Seomun with a more sincere heart.”
Seemingly not expecting Sajun’s answer, Yongjin, who took a brief breath, spoke again.
“I have nothing to say even if I had ten mouths, but I’ve never thought of you as my son even once, and I’ve never been ashamed of you. It was true before, it will be true in the future.”
Sajun’s gaze, which had been staring at the view beyond the window, turned toward Yongjin.
“It’s been five minutes, so please get up.”
Sajun, who seemed not to have any intention of seeing Yongjin off, looked at him with a resigned expression as he stood up.
“Sajun, you stay here. I’ll see him off and come back.”
“Why would you? What does that person say?”
Sajun didn’t let go of Taehui’s wrist.
However, letting go of that hand, Taehui said quietly,
“Just because I want to.”
Taehui couldn’t blame Sajun for stubbornly pleading with his brave father.
Sajun’s emotions towards his father were beyond imagination.
Hurriedly following Yongjin, Taehui resented Hwigu.
To reconcile these two,
Hwigu’s reluctance to accept her as a daughter-in-law was keenly felt as a burden.
“Sajun, I came to see him off instead. Take care.”
Approaching Yongjin, who was waiting for the elevator, Taehui quickly approached, bowed politely, and greeted him.
Only then did Yongjin’s gaze turn to Taehui.
With eyes like solid, impenetrable stones, he just stared, not revealing any words or emotions.
Even though the elevator arrived, Yongjin didn’t get on.
After staring like that for a while, he finally spoke.
“Why did you step forward to help?”
With a single, seemingly omitted word from Yongjin, Taehui subtly raised an eyebrow.
Just saying thank you would have been enough. Why do I have to say it like this?
Both Hwigu, Yongjin, and Sajun.
All three seemed arrogant and unable to express emotions properly, perhaps due to genetic factors.
“I heard you fulfilled the role of a parent demanding ten minutes from Sajun. I was also misunderstanding, but I learned from Grandfather when I listened. But Sajun doesn’t know. He doesn’t want to know.”
According to Hwigu, Sajun couldn’t speak because he would leave home immediately when he heard only his father’s ‘ah.’
“Sajun should have known a little. It would have been less painful, less difficult, and less lonely.”
The moment she saw Yongjin, Hwigu’s words from the coffee shop yesterday came to mind.
“Sajun’s father only kept his own way. Even for a loved woman, family, and his extramarital son.”
Completely rejecting and abandoning them, then trying to use them belatedly, was a cunning tactic unlike the clearly different Seontae.
Even if the relationship with Yongjin couldn’t be solved, she hoped Sajun wouldn’t be treated that way.
Even though he thoroughly ignored and discarded them, he always looked out for Sajun in the invisible places.
Knowing that, how could he turn a blind eye?
Even if she couldn’t unravel the relationship with Yongjin, she hoped to escape a little from the pain of being abandoned by her parents.
So, unable to grasp the topic, she intervened between the rich and subtly made progress, albeit minor.
Because of Yongjin’s last words.
“But still, I have that much influence on Sajun.”
It meant that you recognized my merits.
Yongjin, understanding the meaning of that statement, opened his eyes slightly.
Taehui looked at him directly without avoiding those eyes.
In fact, she had her own motives.
With a truly slim chance, if Hwigu were to fulfill the conditions she set, information about Sajun’s father was essential.
However, for an ordinary office worker like Taehui, it was challenging to find out such information.
But since it appeared like this, she could assess his personality, subtly offer help, score some points, and if she became more ambitious, even obtain his contact information. If she could do that, it would be great. If not, she would just have to give up on everything.
“It seems you really love my son.”
Taehui’s face, taken aback by Yongjin’s words, turned pink.
It was true that she loved him, but why was he suddenly saying this in this atmosphere?
Anyway, the wealthy were all self-centered personalities.
Thinking that Taehui, who believed he wouldn’t stay still if treated like a flower snake, Yongjin handed her his business card.
“Since it’s a direct contact, let’s get in touch. If you have time, let’s have a meal together. According to my father, you seem to know well about Sajun, and the word of mouth is good.”
Praising her means complimenting her, but did Hwigu really praise her like that?
More than anything, it was unbelievable that she had obtained Yongjin’s direct contact, which she had been longing for so much, and so easily.
And to think, Taehui, who was too stunned to react, Yongjin calmly continued.
“I want to hear the story of my son living. If you listen to my rambling, I’ll be even more grateful.”
Taehui politely accepted the business card with both hands.
“I’d like to give you my business card as well, but it’s in there. I’d like to bring it out and give it to you now, but I think Sajun would absolutely not let me. I’ll give it to you later when we meet.”
Smiling brightly, Taehui looked back as if glancing at Sajun’s mood, who wasn’t even present, and whispered in a lowered voice.
“The chairman’s son has an unusual personality. Once you go in, it seems you can’t come out again. So, please understand.”
Was Taehui being cute, or did Yongjin find her sarcastic?
Yongjin, who smiled softly, entered the elevator with a promise to wait for the call.
Bowing again to Yongjin, who bent down once more, Taehui thought.
It was truly a perfect send-off.
Entering again, when Taehui sat down on the sofa, Sajun, who seemed annoyed, didn’t even glance at her.
Even though she sat down next to him quietly, his handsome side profile, still gazing through the window, was not easy to handle.
It was an entirely stubborn, childlike tantrum that only she could see.
Such Sajun was utterly adorable to Taehui.
Because he was hers, because he was young.
That alone was enough of a thought as Taehui quietly embraced Sajun’s waist from behind.
When she patted his back, the solid upper body trembled a little but didn’t resist.
Suppressing the urge to burst into laughter, Taehui naturally asked.
“Sajun, should I sleep over again today?”
Before she could finish that sentence, Sajun turned around abruptly.
Staring down with intensified pupils, he soon let out a light sigh.
“Just go. If you’re not confident about sleeping, that is.”
The restrained patience emanated from Sajun as he added a grumbling comment, saying something like, “What if I can’t go to work again tomorrow? So, just leave when I tell you to leave.”
Enduring overflowing desires without knowing fatigue for my commute. Beyond desires, it’s consideration, and that is love.
No, I want to believe it’s love.
“Who said to just sleep? You can do naughty things too.”
“…Stop it.”
In Sajun’s black eyes looking at her, the restrained patience seemed to waver.
Watching that diminishing patience, Taehui expressed her honest feelings.
“I told you. I like being with you.”
It was just good.
Your desire for me, the desire that goes beyond suppressing that desire to consider me.
“I have desires too. Desires to do what I like.”
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.
