“Oh my, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? You’re still the same. Really.”
Hanako Hayashi.
A mixedrace born to a Japanese father and an American mother, she was a talent emerging in IT development in Silicon Valley in the United States.
Of course, she was more famous for her attractive appearance and sensual figure.
A person that Tae Joon was interested in and kept an eye on from the investment presentations in Silicon Valley.
But his interest was purely business, never personal.
The problem was that Hanako’s interest in him was over the top. She was also a person who had made him uncomfortable for a while with her blatant seduction.
So while he recognized her face well, she wasn’t exactly a welcome figure.
“How did you make it here? You usually don’t show up in places like this.”
“I ended up here unintentionally. But you’re still the same.”
Yes, he was still the same. Every time he saw her, she exuded an overwhelming curiosity in her shiny black eyes, no different from before.
But he didn’t bother to mention this.
“But why are you here? This convention isn’t in your field, as far as I know.”
“Oh my, James. This isn’t like you. IT doesn’t discriminate fields. In modern society, it’s indispensable regardless of which side you’re on. And I am an engineer in that field.”
“Interesting. So, you’ve switched companies?”
“Of course, to a place that recognizes my abilities more.”
“Where to?”
“Landis.”
“Landis?”
Only then did Tae Joon, who had been constantly annoyed, change his expression a little and asked for confirmation again.
That made sense, as Landis was an electric car battery development company operated by Michael Adams, whom he had been interested in.
“I heard he was not attending due to personal reasons.”
“So I came in a hurry. I plan to participate in the second phase, I came to see what the atmosphere is like today.”
Hearing her confident voice as she glanced around, Tae Joon frowned.
This was troublesome. Why did it have to be Michael Adams’ company she moved to?
“You’re a little interested in this side, right? What do you say, I might be able to give you some tips… want to hear them?”
As expected, her seductive and suggestive voice tickled his ear.
“However, there are many prying eyes, so let’s move to a more discreet place.”
Meanwhile, at that time, So Dam, who had just arrived at the dinner party, frowned at the sight of Tae Joon talking with someone.
After his identity was revealed, all eyes were on him.
Investors watched to see where he was interested, and the companies participating in the convention did everything they could to gain his attention.
The woman who was now stuck to Tae Joon like a leech was probably one of them.
But Tae Joon, who became even more sensitive after learning that Michael Adams would not attend, seemed quite indifferent, as if he had lost all interest in this convention.
She hoped that woman wouldn’t upset Tae Joon.
Trying to scrutinize Tae Joon’s expression, So Dam squinted her eyes at him and then, thanks to a quick turn of the woman’s head, she realized her identity.
“What, who is that? Hanako Hayashi?”
Oh my! Why was she here?
“Why is that fox here?”
So Dam rubbed her eyes and checked again, but it was definitely that woman.
Surprised, So Dam pressed her throbbing chest and briefly stepped out of the party.
“What’s going on? Um… Ha…”
She kept sighing. If we were talking about Hanako Hayashi, she was the woman who openly tempted Tae Joon a few years ago.
Who knows how much trouble So Dam went through to reject her aggressive affection. She was as active in her seduction as she was impulsive in her personality.
Now that she had caught Tae Joon in her sights again, this was a crisis of life and death.
Of course, she wasn’t worried about Tae Joon. If he were going to fall for Hanako’s temptation, he would have done so years ago.
Moreover, he was now married to Seo Rin, who he couldn’t live without, so his defensive instincts would have been much stronger than before.
The problem was Hanako. She was a woman who surpassed common sense and manners when it came to seduction.
If Tae Joon got involved in any unpleasant incidents due to Hanako’s seduction at this convention, So Dam would never forgive herself.
After all, it was she who had brought him here, promising to build a bridge.
“I can’t leave them like this!”
So Dam bravely rushed back into the convention dinner party.
To protect Tae Joon from Hanako, she was willing to burn herself!
When it turned 9 PM, the other friends, including Hyuk Joo, started to leave one by one.
And as always, the last ones left were Seo Rin, who didn’t drink much and was sober, and Bok Sil, who remained sober even after drinking a lot.
“Aren’t you drinking too much?”
“Um, I’m still fine. And I couldn’t drink during my pregnancy. This is my first week drinking to unwind. So don’t stop me.”
“Oh, right. Is that so? How did you endure the desire to drink during that time?”
“I just endured it. I was carrying something more precious than my body.”
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.
