“It was really clever of you to offer the succession position to our son, who is happily married.”
“I seemed to have had foresight.”
Taeyeon, in the meantime, neatly wrapped beef in lettuce leaves.
Smiling, she placed the small wraps on the front plates of Chairman Cha and Mrs. Park, who were chatting away.
“Eat quickly, Mom, Dad.”
“Oh my. Isn’t it the wraps our precious daughter-in-law is giving us?”
“We’ll enjoy it, our daughter-in-law.”
Although Chairman Cha’s family, who had eaten more expensive and healthier dishes than these wraps, praised them as better than any other food, they enjoyed it.
“Thanks to our Taeyeon, it tastes better than any food made by any chef.”
“The meat was grilled by Ajumma and Dojun.”
Taeyeon quickly moved her hands to make slightly larger wraps than before.
Facing only Dojun, who was looking at her, Taeyeon offered the wrap.
“Dojun, shall I put it on the front plate?”
“No.”
Dojun, with his strong arms on the long table, leaned forward.
“Ah.”
Dojun approached as if asking to be fed.
“Dojun…”
Dojun opened his mouth, seeming so natural, as Chairman Cha and Mrs. Park watched.
The embarrassment was solely Taeyeon’s.
Dojun, as if there was no special meaning, looked down at the gloves in his hands.
“As you can see, there’s a bit of charcoal on the gloves. It might be difficult for me to eat.”
It seemed likely.
Mrs. Park and Chairman Cha were looking at Taeyeon, sparkling like people watching a melodrama.
“Let’s not worry about it and just do as we always did.”
“Oh my, yes. You’re newlyweds, so we can understand if you do more.”
Chairman Cha laughed heartily as if his mouth reached his ears.
“I’m very hungry. Jintaeyeon.”
Unable to help it, Taeyeon reached out her hand.
Dojun, opening his mouth wide, quickly ate the lettuce wrap.
As Taeyeon’s slender fingers slid past him while serving, her cheek turned red.
Dojun raised his eyebrows as if to say it was delicious.
“It seems much tastier because you fed me.”
Dojun left, saying he would bring more of the meat Haejun had grilled.
Mrs. Park, seeing what Taeyeon was doing, quickly started wrapping meat in lettuce.
Then, she coquettishly offered it to Chairman Cha.
“Honey, seeing Taeyeon giving it to Dojun looked so lovely. Ah, it’s hot.”
Chairman Cha, feeling awkward in front of his daughter-in-law, didn’t hide his pleased expression.
“Haha. Then, let me try what you give once.”
It was just ordinary meat wraps.
Although the meat and vegetables going in might not be much different, there was an affection that couldn’t be found anywhere else.
Chairman Cha chewed the meat wrap Mrs. Park gave him, savoring the taste.
Then, he smiled brightly at Mrs. Park, raising his thumb.
“As expected, the best.”
Mrs. Park laughed like a girl and leaned her head on Chairman Cha’s shoulder.
That sight stayed in Taeyeon’s view for a long time.
They were truly a good-looking couple.
Whatever they did, they took care of each other first and showed a considerate side, which was quite impressive.
‘I wish I could grow old with Dojun like that.’
With that thought, on this good day, her eyes inexplicably became teary.
Taeyeon deliberately smiled brightly and attempted to engage in a conversation with Chairman Cha’s family, pushing aside other thoughts.
The cool autumn breeze pleasantly swept into Baeksangjae’s garden.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
After finishing the meal, everyone went inside their homes and sat in the dining room.
Dojun, eating the fruit prepared by the employee, spoke.
“Chairman Cha, I remember you saying you would grant whatever our Taeyeon wants. Do you recall?”
“Of course. What does our Saeya need?”
When Taeyeon spoke, it seemed as though she could easily summon an island she bought near Hawaii.
Taeyeon raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Dojun.
I never talked about wanting anything.
What is she trying to say?
Taeyeon subtly reached her hand under the table and gently poked Dojun’s thigh.
“…….”
Dojun didn’t miss that moment and firmly held Taeyeon’s hand that touched his body.
Taeyeon, who had one hand taken away momentarily, had to smile awkwardly to hide her embarrassment.
“I want to launch a fashion brand just for Taeyeon.”
“Oh?”
Chairman Cha, without much hesitation, casually uttered his words.
“Instruct to recruit a good designer tomorrow.”
“Thank you.”
Then Chairman Cha, without saying a word, cast his gaze towards Haejun, who was sitting at the dining table.
“Recently, KK Fashion’s performance has been quite weak. Take advantage of this opportunity.”
“An opportunity? Huh.”
How is this an opportunity?
Haejun sighed in disbelief.
Fashion had always been under Haejun’s control, so any business related to it was in Haejun’s domain.
Dojun, who was well aware of this, couldn’t find the words to respond to Haejun crossing the line so recklessly.
Dojun picked up an apple, offering it to Taeyeon, and asked with an indifferent gaze.
“Hyung, you’re not telling me you can’t create a brand for Sister-in-law, right?”
Just as Haejun provoked Dojun a bit in the garden earlier, Dojun was also subtly teasing Haejun.
If Haejun’s approach was cunning, Dojun, expressing his intentions politely yet firmly, was the opposite.
“What’s better than family bonds.”
To Haejun, who never considered Dojun as his brother or family, these words were particularly irritating.
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.”
