The sunlight was behind him as he turned, his figure looked all the more intense due to the aftereffects of the rough boxing.
The excited black eyes and the tightly interlocked angry upper body muscles, which had not yet calmed down, were truly akin to a work of art.
And the sweat drops trickling down those muscles compelled the onlooker to swallow her dry saliva.
Even though she saw him often, every time she didn’t know where to place her eyes.
In a word, this man was terribly annoying.
“I made my presence known earlier. I even coughed, but you didn’t hear me because you were busy hitting the sandbag.”
He started to wipe his wet body with a dry towel after taking off his gloves.
The muscles moving with his arm movement dazzled her eyes. However, contrary to the pleasing sight, she was utterly against this rough exercise.
As Tae Joon’s closest secretary, if he, who already had better physical condition than others, got into an accident by enhancing his combat skills, the aftermath would entirely be her responsibility.
“Why did you put on gloves again after calming down? Do you have to do this now?”
“Why are you nagging about my hobby?”
“You have many cultured and elegant hobbies. Aren’t you willing to change your hobby activities to those kinds, now that you have a social position? Something other than this barbaric one!”
“It’s boring.”
He responded sulkily.
Yes, it was times like these. If she could just land one punch at times like this, she would have no other wishes.
“And you know. Boxing is a bit special to me. It was the only skill that allowed me, who couldn’t even speak properly and had no parents, to protect myself in that unfamiliar land. After learning this, I didn’t get hit.”
“……”
“So, cut me some slack on this, okay?”
The only skill that could protect young Tae Joon, knowing his past, So Dam couldn’t say anything anymore.
“However, only hit the sandbag. If you hit a person with that fist, I’ll quit this job!”
“I know. That’s why I’m doing this without a sparring partner.”
In the end, all she could do was roll her eyes.
“Oh, by the way, why did you suddenly tell me to prepare a marriage registration form?”
So Dam asked, holding out the marriage registration form she had prepared in a yellow envelope to him. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t understand why Tae Joon had instructed her to prepare this document.
Tae Joon received the envelope from her and checked the marriage registration form. But was it her illusion that she felt his lips faintly curl up?
“And, here’s the sedative.”
So Dam also handed out the sedative he had ordered her to bring.
The sudden boxing practice and the faint smile he showed while looking at the marriage registration form made her feel extremely uneasy. It was like the calm before a storm, shall we say?
That’s why So Dam quickly offered the sedative. She thought if he chewed this and calmed down, the aftermath would be less severe.
But Tae Joon glanced at it and said something unexpected.
“Yeah. That’s yours.”
Huh? Did she hear wrong?
“Not me, you should take it.”
She hadn’t heard wrong. Tae Joon’s voice was clearly brushing her eardrums.
“Here, water.”
Moreover, he even provided water, an excessive kindness.
Her heart started to race. Whenever he was more considerate than usual, she always had to wage a war all alone.
Her instincts warned her. Hurry and chew this sedative and swallow it. Only then can you survive!
With tremendous speed, she unwrapped the sedative, threw it into her mouth, gulped it down, and snatched the water from Tae Joon’s hand to drink it down.
However, before all this could even pass down her throat, the event exploded.
“I’m getting married.”
“Puhack!”
Water that So Dam hadn’t managed to swallow exploded like a fountain from her mouth.
Bad person! At least give me some time to swallow!
She glared at him with resentful eyes, but he turned away indifferently and started to unravel the bandage wrapped around his hand.
In his eyes, watching the slowly unraveling bandage, many emotions were condensed. He had put on gloves to relieve stress, but it seemed that they were insufficient to release all those emotions.
Instead, let’s do that marriage registration… after the temporary shareholders’ meeting is over.
The last answer Seo Rin gave to the suggestion of marriage registration wouldn’t leave his mind.
It was just like Seo Rin. Even after obtaining Tae Joon’s shares, if she couldn’t stop President Baek from becoming the top executive at the temporary shareholders’ meeting, their marriage would lose its justification.
In the end, their fate depended on the outcome of this temporary shareholders’ meeting.
Eight years ago, he couldn’t hold back her departure.
No, it would be correct to say that he didn’t have the strength to hold her back. But now, he had grown large enough to easily protect his woman.
How far could he go to protect her, now that he had become so enormous?
He couldn’t guarantee it himself. That’s why he planned to find out slowly from now on.
Indeed, how far he could… go crazy.
From the top of her head to the tips of her toes, he would thoroughly protect her, who was entirely his.
So that President Baek and the like could never shake her life again.
So that no one would dare to look down on her.
“Secretary Shin, contact President Baek.”
“Yess?”
Whoever it was,
“Let’s see his face.”
If touched, they’d be dead.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
