His face, deeply shadowed with the dim lighting, was like a black leopard. He looked extremely dangerous, like a leopard crouching and holding its breath just before hunting.
Hence, every word she spat out became more cautious.
“I can get married. No, I will… I will get married. But not now.”
“……”
“My father hasn’t been gone for long. The timing is not good. So, I think I need some time until the wedding ceremony.”
“I understand. It’s a valid point.”
“Let’s have the wedding ceremony a year later.”
Fortunately, he nodded easily. It was indeed fortunate that he was a man who understood common sense, then and now.
“And I have one more favor to ask.”
However, without any sense of shame, Seo Rin had to fulfill all her desires. Only then would there be a sense of satisfaction in drinking this shot.
“For the time being, I’d like our relationship to be kept a secret. In this situation where I need to focus on the company, I don’t want to give any more excuses to the board of directors.”
It was a cautious time for everything. The sudden appearance of Tae Joon, regardless of the reason, was not likely to be viewed favorably by others. Especially not to the shareholders, including the board of directors.
Of course, she knew it was a very onesided request. But Seo Rin was determined not to allow any variables until her position was securely established.
“Until when do you intend to keep it a secret?”
“Until this interim shareholders’ meeting.”
“Okay. Let’s do that.”
Once again, he nodded his head too easily. Seo Rin’s eyes widened. Despite having achieved all she wanted, what was this feeling of loss?
Was it the lingering sensation from the kiss earlier?
“Marriage isn’t a prerequisite to love you.”
It must be. The lingering sensation of his kiss hadn’t faded yet, so every time she heard the word ‘love’ from his mouth, her heart stung.
She couldn’t give him what he desperately wanted, and her conscience reacted instinctively.
She was truly sorry, but for now, she had to live for herself, so she decided to put aside her conscience.
“Thank you.”
Not having a gentle nature, and lacking the eloquent words to express her feelings, she substituted with a simple phrase.
As she cast her gaze down, a slow but clear voice gently penetrated her ears.
“But… I have a condition too.”
“……”
“Although marriage isn’t a prerequisite, my intention to get married hasn’t changed.”
“……”
“So, let’s start with filing the marriage report.”
A low but very powerful voice.
That voice, too intense to be ignored, clearly woke up her brain.
Seo Rin clenched and unclenched the cocktail glass in front of her.
She could fully understand Tae Joon. And she could also clearly understand why Tae Joon was so committed to marriage.
To him, marriage would be a kind of ‘safety device’ to be with her.
To ensure she couldn’t back out unilaterally anymore.
Or to ensure he wouldn’t be left alone unilaterally anymore.
In the end, knowing she couldn’t refuse his proposal, she nodded her head.
“Alright… Let’s do that.”
Their marriage, which held such a clear temperature difference in love,
“Let’s do it. File the marriage report.”
Thus, it was settled.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
