“Yes, she said she was tired preparing for the new product, so she asked for some time off to recharge.”
Chairman Cha seemed to have a lot more to say, judging by his face.
After a brief pause, Chairman Cha spoke.
“Mrs. Choi mentioned that you left before she arrived at the store.”
“Yes.”
“Is there no problem between you two?”
Dojun couldn’t easily answer.
No one knew about the divorce papers Taeyeon handed to him.
So, Mrs. Choi probably reported to Chairman Cha that Taeyeon simply went on vacation.
Dojun put on a face as if everything was fine.
“No, we are doing well. You’ve seen us living well several times with your own eyes.”
Even with that remark, Chairman Cha seemed to have an instinctive intuition and couldn’t easily relax his expression.
“In case you unknowingly made Taeyeon feel bitter, keep an eye on it.”
“Understood.”
Dojun had nothing more to say and stood up from his seat.
Watching him, Haejun chuckled while holding a teacup.
“Don’t tell me Ms. Je Su ran away because of you?”
Dojun’s chilly gaze met Haejun’s.
“Looks like someone wishes for that.”
Haejun shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, we’ll know as time passes. Whether she just went on vacation or if there’s really a problem between you two.”
Dojun stared at Haejun, piercing him with his gaze.
“It’s sadly unlikely that the situation my brother so desperately wishes for will happen. It’s better to abandon futile hope.”
Dojun bowed to Chairman Cha and quickly left Baeksangjae.
It was time to meet the instigator who created this situation.
Dojun got into the car driven by Secretary Choi.
“Director, here’s an updated file based on your previous instructions.”
Dojun began reviewing the document organized by Secretary Choi through the tablet PC.
As he thought that this document was related to Taeyeon, her face floated before his eyes again.
“Did you have your meal?”
Secretary Choi, driving, answered the question.
“Yes, according to the report from the security team staying at the guest house, she spread homemade jam on half a piece of bread and ate it.”
“How does she endure by eating that?”
Dojun’s face showed continuous concern, and he gave instructions to Secretary Choi.
“If there’s a good restaurant nearby, bring it packaged and casually hand it over.”
“Understood.”
Then Dojun turned his attention back to the tablet PC.
Although he was the founder of Cha Shin Yub, Jin Taepyeong quickly met his demise in a suspicious accident.
Additional investigation details about Jin Taepyeong, who was the brother of CEO Jin Dongpil, were included in the document organized by Secretary Choi.
“At the time of establishment, everyone in Jin Taepyeong’s line was laid off when CEO Jin Dongpil took charge of Cha Shin Yub.”
“That would have been the case. He must have been busy filling the positions with those on his side.”
“But there was something strange.”
“What was it?”
“At that time, when CEO Jin Dongpil was the head of the finance department, there was a secretary who was treated like a footman.”
In the document prepared by Secretary Choi, there was the person’s resume at that time.
“Normally, if someone was kept by the CEO like that, they would have been taken along or at least reassigned to another department when he took over as CEO. However, that person was also laid off along with everyone else.”
“Is that so?”
It was an unusual personnel decision.
“Please investigate whether we can contact this person.”
“Understood.”
Feeling uneasy, Dojun gazed out of the window.
What did Jin Dongpil know and what was he hiding?
What was he thinking?
He intended to thoroughly investigate his weaknesses and cut off his air supply.
“Ah, and the information about Mr. Jintaejin has been roughly collected. What should we do?”
“First, let’s wait a moment.”
At that time when everything was going according to his own will, he would be happy.
One by one, like the burst of blessing fireworks, it was planned to explode.
A serene Korean restaurant.
Dojun stared at CEO Jindongpil, who was sitting across from him, with a cold gaze.
“I believe you know why I wanted to meet.”
CEO Jindongpil wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead with a handkerchief a couple of times, then spoke carefully.
“Listen to what I have to say. I didn’t force you to get a divorce.”
Whether he said it or not, there was no response coming from Dojun.
“From the beginning, Taeyeon didn’t want to marry. So, I told her to endure it for just two years at first.”
It was the same as what was written in the note Taeyeon had written.
At first, the marriage meant nothing to Dojun.
Until he got close to Taeyeon like this.
Thinking that she might have similar feelings, Dojun asked again.
“While you were sending divorce papers to your well-lived daughter. Can you say that wasn’t coercion?”
“Well, that…”
CEO Jindongpil, who had denied it several times, quickly changed his attitude.
“Chashin, you probably know by now, but Taeyeon is not my biological daughter.”
Dojun couldn’t gauge why CEO Jindongpil was bringing up that statement that he had kept hidden for so long in this situation.
“It was a marriage consultation that came to Chashin Yuyup, but strictly speaking, it wasn’t much different from marrying someone else.”
He referred to someone else.
Having lived together for decades, it was too well known how he had thought about Taeyeon all this time.
“So, think of this marriage as a problem from the beginning and cleanly end it.”
Pfft-
Demanding something unreasonable, yet having a shameless face.
Dojun, with chilling eyes, asked.
“Did you always think of Taeyeon like that all these years?”
“Huh?”
“Seems like you never thought of her as a daughter even once.”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
