The blind date, which was expected to end in five minutes, was stretching for almost an hour.
“Give me time just for today. Let’s have a meal together, chat, and spend a good time. Then, I won’t bother you anymore.”
He didn’t understand the previous remarks, but with Jehyun’s last words, Taehui was about to rise from her chair but stopped herself.
If it was bothering her because she couldn’t speak her mind and left lingering regrets, she thought of listening to the story and cleanly dismantling it.
Then Jehyun calmly explained.
Misunderstandings in the past, his feelings at that time, and meeting Minyeonseo and Minseontae again in Korea.
While concluding the long story, Jehyun asked Taehui, who hadn’t even picked up the fork.
“Why aren’t you eating? You liked soufflé. I wanted to buy you a lot when we were dating, but my financial situation wasn’t favorable back then.”
“I’m not very hungry. And tastes change over seven years.”
In reality, she was hungry, and she wanted to taste a mouthful. However, she didn’t want to eat needlessly and have to rush to the restroom in front of Jehyun due to indigestion.
This kind of display was more appropriate for Song Jehyun rather than Kang Sajun.
While having such thoughts, a business card was extended on the table.
Instead of touching Jehyun’s business card with her hand, Taehui checked it with a dry look.
“As expected of a senior, you’ve succeeded so quickly.”
She decided to acknowledge what she should acknowledge.
Being the Asia head at that age, Minseontae seemed to understand why she remained calm even when she heard that Minseontae broke up with Sajun.
Song Jehyun was indeed a pheasant, not a crow.
“It’s because of you. I was really harsh thinking of you. I thought I could go back to you if I succeeded quickly.”
She heard about the past, the process of success, and what happened when he came back to Korea.
Having heard everything, now it was time for Taehui to conclude.
“Have you said everything? From now on, listen to my story, Senior.”
Although she was hungry, she also wanted to see Sajun desperately.
She wanted to show baby pictures to Sajun, let him hear the baby’s heartbeat, and more.
“Both Minyeonseo and this blind date were things that came out of my head. I wanted to provoke Sajun because I thought he didn’t know my feelings.”
“……”
“I really like Sajun. It’s been a while. It’s not that I didn’t meet other guys because I couldn’t forget my senior, but I didn’t meet anyone because of Sajun.”
“I appreciate you not forgetting me and coming back, but that’s your situation. Even if you become the Saudi crown prince and come back, I’m not interested in you anymore.”
Of course, Taehui and Jehyun had no idea.
That after arriving at Sinsa Station and searching for the soufflé restaurants that Jinwon had sent, Sajun arrived at this café on his fifth attempt.
Also, that Taehui and Jehyun were together, and approaching them, Sajun unknowingly leaned against the wall and listened to their conversation.
“So, did the provocation work well?”
Jehyun asked casually, and Taehui was slightly surprised.
What’s with this indifferent tone? Have I said something wrong all this time?
“If you’re still lacking, you can continue using me as you please, Taehui.”
What is this, a stew? No matter how much you knock it down, it just gets up, acting as if nothing happened, so Taehui felt drained.
To be honest, she thought she could get up in about five minutes, so she didn’t eat anything at home and was starving.
“I’m not asking you to take me back. I just want to create good memories with you while I’m in Korea. Our three months together were too short, weren’t they?”
Looking at Jehyun smiling bitterly, Taehui let out an incredulous laugh.
Who suggested spending it shortly, and who chose money?
“As Senior said, we dated for just over three months. What am I saying?”
It was something Taehui couldn’t understand.
With such looks and success, why couldn’t he move on from selling memories?
“Because of the three months we spent together. After seeing countless girls over seven years, if my heart didn’t race, would you believe it?”
Sajun, leaning casually against the wall, frowned.
How could he throw such an outdated line?
Meanwhile, he was curious about Taehui’s expression.
Min Taehui, who hated anything cringeworthy, detested such lines. However, since it wasn’t visible behind the wall, it was nerve-wracking. She didn’t want to hear that cringeworthy stuff, but if she went out, she wanted to hear more about Taehui’s true feelings.
“I really like Sajun.”
That one sentence sounded so sweet in her ears that Sajun, like a sly cat, was eavesdropping.
Of course, he wasn’t playing it cool, just leisurely leaning against the wall.
Although he was curious about Min Taehui, who used to be like a mysterious riddle, revealing her feelings, he also wondered about what to do with Song Jehyun.
So he was silently listening a bit more when it became absurd.
“I’m pregnant with Sajun’s child.”
Just as she told Sajun, Taehui calmly told Jehyun.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
