“Hey, I could have waited for you at home.”
As Lee Hyun held Yerin’s hand gently, he whispered affectionately.
And with one hand, he extended a plastic bag he had been holding to her.
“Would you like to go up first with the packed meal?”
“What about you, Mr. Lee Hyun?”
Then, Lee Hyun’s chilly gaze reached the unwelcome guest, Heejun.
“I’ll send this man away and join you soon.”
His words were so firm that there was no room for objection.
Yes, perhaps it would be better for Lee Hyun to scold Heejun sharply.
In that case, he wouldn’t have to face such an awkward encounter in the future.
As Yerin nodded slowly, a look of helplessness appeared on Heejun’s face.
She was treating him as if he were invisible; Yerin had already made him feel like a transparent person.
“Mr. Lee Hyun, I’ll have the packed meal ready.”
“Yeah. I’ll be up soon. Let’s enjoy dinner together.”
Outwardly appearing like a couple, Yerin turned her back after giving Lee Hyun’s handsome face a long glance.
As Yerin walked into the villa, the gazes of the two men stuck to her back, persistently and deeply.
Realizing Heejun staring at Yerin, Lee Hyun moved his body using his long legs.
With wide shoulders obscuring his view, Heejun raised his head abruptly, glaring at Lee Hyun.
And not long after, I tensed up again at the cold gaze that seemed to freeze the person in front of me.
It was a completely different, chilly atmosphere from when I was with Yerin.
“What were you doing in front of my girlfriend’s house?”
Due to encountering a stronger male than himself, warning lights within Heejun were urging him to stop and leave his spot.
However, if he ran away from here, he might completely lose the chance to start again with Yerin, and Heejun didn’t want that.
Heejun opened his eyes wide, overcoming the overwhelming tension.
“I want to try again with Yerin.”
Hearing that confident statement, Lee Hyun chuckled.
“Interesting.”
“What?”
“Listen carefully. I really don’t like repeating the same thing twice.”
Due to Lee Hyun’s intense gaze, Heejun’s mouth dried up.
This was the first time someone had made him so nervous just by staring at him, just looking at him without saying anything.
“Miss Han Yerin, you’re meeting me right now.”
Heejun managed to overcome the overwhelming tension and spoke.
“Are you two in a casual relationship?”
Due to that foolish question, one corner of Lee Hyun’s lips rose.
“If you’re just going to play with Yerin while briefly meeting her, it might be better to just break up now…”
Due to Lee Hyun approaching, the distance between the two men narrowed.
Heejun swallowed hard, feeling flustered, and took a step back unconsciously.
“So much needs to be clarified.”
Lee Hyun sighed briefly.
“A casual meeting? Who said that.”
“…….”
“I’m very sincere about Miss Han Yerin.”
At that overly serious statement, Heejun’s mouth gaped open in surprise.
Before looking for Yerin, he had already finished investigating Lee Hyun.
Although he was competing with his stepbrother for control of the Jiseok Group, it was widely rumored that Lee Hyun, in terms of business ability, was far superior and was considered the successor to take over the business.
The reason such a man would meet Yerin, who seemed to have nothing special, was judged to be nothing more than a casual enjoyment.
But it wasn’t like that.
In fact, Lee Hyun, recalling Heejun’s absurd words from earlier, furrowed his brows.
“Moreover, you don’t have the right to call Yerin with the word ‘us’ more than anyone else.”
“…….”
“I think you understand by now.”
Lee Hyun tried to end the conversation, but Heejun persistently held onto him.
“Director Cha Hyun, you’re deceiving the innocent Han Yerin right now.”
“Is that so?”
With talk about Yerin, Lee Hyun’s face showed an interesting expression once again.
Seeing Lee Hyun’s reaction, Heejun gathered his courage and added another word.
“Yerin, I still have a lot of lingering feelings for her.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. I’m saying this because there might be a chance you’re sticking around because of her background or money. So…”
He tried to add that they should break up, but Lee Hyun suddenly burst into hearty laughter instead.
“Why is he like that? I said it was upsetting.”
What’s good about laughing like that?
Soon, Lee Hyun stared intently at Heejun.
“Fortunately. If my background and money become favorable conditions to keep Yerin, that’s good.”
Rather than getting angry or feeling bad, he was a crazy guy who seemed to like it.
“No, didn’t you hear what I said?”
“I heard you clearly. But I’m curious about something.”
“What is it?”
“How can you be so sure that our Yerin still has lingering feelings for you?”
At the sharp remark, Heejun pressed his lips together in silence.
“Yerin isn’t the type to talk about these things directly.”
“…….”
“If that’s the case, where did you hear some nonsense and come here to make a scene?”
As if trying to read Heejun’s mind, Lee Hyun sent an even colder gaze.
“N-no, it’s not like that. It’s just a hunch. Yes, just a hunch.”
Watching Heejun ramble, Lee Hyun let out a sigh.
“A hunch, you say.”
As if he knows everything, Lee Hyun’s gaze sat coldly on Heejun, making Heejun’s breath catch.
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.
