Do Jun raised an eyebrow, a sly expression on his face.
Tae Yeon could only stand there, her mouth gaping in shock.
At the office?
As Do Jun was about to leave, Tae Yeon approached and grabbed the hem of his suit.
“We agreed to hide the fact that we’re married at the office.”
“Yes, we did. But you broke it first.”
“Me?”
Teasing Tae Yeon, Do Jun mimed stroking his forearm.
“You, just a moment ago.”
“Ah. That was a mistake.”
“A mistake.”
“So please… keep the fact that Do Jun is my husband hidden from our coworkers for now.”
That was the plan. Do Jun didn’t want to answer any unnecessary questions about his married life either.
But why was Tae Yeon so desperate to hide the fact that he was her husband?
The fleeting thought crossed Do Jun’s mind that maybe there were more men hidden in the picture she’d received than just one.
Do Jun asked.
“Do you have another man hidden at the office?”
Tae Yeon looked at him with a puzzled face.
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m curious about why you have to hide that I’m your husband at the office.”
“I don’t want to be the talk of the town.”
Tae Yeon quickly added.
“Also, as you can see, I always wear a ring. Everyone knows I’m married. So please don’t misunderstand that there’s another man.”
Do Jun nodded.
“But you, Do Jun… have you lost your ring?”
Tae Yeon stole a glance at Do Jun’s left hand. Since their wedding, it seemed he had never worn his ring; there wasn’t even a mark from a ring.
Disappointment filled Tae Yeon’s eyes.
This time, it was Do Jun who was flustered. He immediately apologized without making it too long.
“I’m sorry. It’s not that I deliberately took it off.”
Tae Yeon looked at Do Jun as if curious.
“It was stolen at the airport on the day I arrived in the U.S.”
“Ah……”
“I’ve been so busy, I forgot to get a new one.”
While repeatedly apologizing as if he truly felt sorry, Do Jun rubbed the back of his neck.
“How about getting a new one now, seeing that there are many scratches from daily life on the ring?”
“Excuse me?”
Tae Yeon looked down at her own ring, then shook her head.
“No, I’m fine. If you really want to get a new one, just get yours…”
“This weekend, let’s go on a date and buy your birthday gift and new wedding bands together.”
“……”
This Sunday was Tae Yeon’s birthday. She was shocked that Do Jun knew this.
Just as she was about to ask him how he found out.
Do Jun’s phone, which was in his suit pocket, rang. It seemed that because he had been away from his seat for too long, Secretary Choi was looking for him.
“Let’s continue our conversation later. Oh, and. I hope you’re not thinking of running away first.”
After Do Jun left, Tae Yeon kept staring at the garden gate from where he disappeared.
She felt strange.
“He knows my birthday……”
When Dong Pil called her today, Tae Yeon had secretly hoped.
Maybe because her birthday was this week, he would invite her to stop by home for a meal.
But there was no such mention.
The reason for Dong Pil’s call was to quickly arrange a dinner with Do Jun in hopes of conducting business that would help Cha Shin Estates. And he only thought of Tae Yeon as a means to that end.
Tae Yeon turned her gaze to the increasingly darkening evening sky.
It was usually a time of desolation.
Tae Jin and Tae Yeon, born on the same day with a minute’s difference. However, that one minute had led to a lot of discrimination.
Even when they made the same mistakes, only Tae Teon was always scolded. The good clothes, good food, were always Tae Jin’s from a young age.
The same was true for marriage. Although necessary for the family business, they were reluctant to send their first daughter, Tae Jin, so they sent Tae Teon instead.
It was still okay. If she did her best within the prescribed marriage period, wouldn’t her family be thankful to her?
She had thought that once, but it was a hopeless thought.
“When did things go wrong?”
She didn’t know. Even if she knew, there was nothing she could change.
The remaining six months.
Standing by Do Jun’s side and enduring with all her might, then disappearing from their lives.
That was the only happiness she could afford herself.
((()))((()))((()))
As soon as Do Jun entered the office, Secretary Choi hurriedly followed him in.
“Director, where have you been?”
“Just to the rooftop to catch some air.”
“Were you alone?”
He couldn’t say that Tae Teon was there. Do Jun quickly changed the subject.
“Hmm. What’s the matter?”
Secretary Choi checked the tightly closed door and handed a document envelope to Do Jun. It was a familiar envelope.
“Could it be…”
“Yes, that’s right. That kid has started contacting us again.”
Do Jun hastily opened the document envelope. As expected, there was a single photo inside.
A heavily madeup Tae Teon and a man proudly showing his face next to her.
The two of them were walking down the street, arms linked. Do Jun’s forehead furrowed.
“When was this photo taken?”
“I don’t know that. Just this one picture came by delivery…”
“What on earth is he trying to gain?”
As Do Jun said this, he noticed something and widened his eyes. He brought the photo closer and started to search for something on a portal site.
Then he frowned as if something was strange.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
