It was because of the tender voice that suddenly came to her mind.
It was really troublesome to have Cha Dohjun following her wherever she went.
It was during the time when she was forcibly erasing thoughts about Dohjun.
Quick-witted Il-hoon and Yi-hoon had already placed the fried rice made with konjac rice on the dining table without ordering.
Tae-yeon neatly arranged it on the plate and took a picture.
“I was going to do it, but you two did everything, so there’s nothing I can do. Thank you.”
“What are you talking about? Thanks to you, we get to try such a unique dish.”
Tae-yeon watched attentively as Il-hoon and Yi-hoon picked up their chopsticks.
After taking a bite of the fried rice made with konjac rice, the two men simultaneously widened their eyes.
“What, it’s just like regular rice?”
“But when I looked at the packaging earlier, the calories were significantly low.”
“Wow, this will be perfect for dieting.”
“Thank you, Tae-yeon. Thanks to you, I found out about this good product.”
“But who makes things like this? It’s really delicious.”
Hearing the two men’s positive reactions, Tae-yeon finally felt relieved.
As she took a spoonful and tasted it, memories flashed back to the time when she came down to the Busan factory with Dohjun for a tasting.
What’s going on?
Even though she came down here to organize her thoughts.
How come she’s thinking more than when she was by Dohjun’s side?
At this rate, it might really be some illness.
With such thoughts, Tae-yeon forcefully lifted the chopsticks, trying to be cheerful.
Maybe she wouldn’t be able to eat this konjac rice after today.
Every time she looked at it, thoughts of Dohjun came to her mind.
After finishing the meal, Tae-yeon uploaded a photo of the fried rice made with konjac rice on the SNS account she created yesterday.
Hopefully, many people will participate in the contest, and the word will spread even more.
So that Dohjun can reap the benefits all by himself.
Hoping for that.
Late at night.
Dohjun read through the neatly organized email once again and pressed the send button.
Then he stared intently at the dark phone screen.
One minute, two minutes.
Just a moment passed.
As expected, a call came from President Jintongpil, just like he anticipated.
Dohjun answered the call with a smirk.
“Yes, this is Chadojun.”
-Mr. Cha, no. Chief Cha. What on earth is this nonsense?
“Did you read the email?”
-So I didn’t make this call!!
Behind the handset, President Jintongpil seemed really angry, exhaling rough breaths.
-What’s the reason for sending me such an email?
“I wanted to kindly inform you that I’ll be in the news as a reporter tomorrow morning.”
-No, this…!
The email Dohjun sent to President Jintongpil contained information about various wrongdoings committed by Chasin Yoo Up, especially the details about the embezzled secret funds since Jintongpil was the head of the finance department.
It was only natural that he would be running wild like this.
-What exactly are you hoping to achieve with this?
“I clearly told you to be prepared when messing with my people.”
-Tae-yeon talked about getting a divorce. It seems like it was agreed upon even before we got married.
Dohjun let out a small laugh.
How long will he be able to shamelessly claim he’s done nothing wrong?
“Have you ever thought about how Tae-yeon would feel every time something of hers was taken away one by one?”
-…
“Try to feel it this time. How difficult it must have been for Tae-yeon all this time.”
-…
“How did that fragile girl endure such a difficult time alone?”
-Chief Chadojun, what should I do?
It seemed he had concluded that he could no longer cover up and pass over this matter by just being evasive.
Dohjun spoke with a voice devoid of any emotion.
“I have one thing I’m curious about. If you resolve that, I’ll consider helping you with your worries.”
-Yeah, anything. I’ll tell you anything.
“Jintae-pyeong, did you kill him?”
-…….
It was somewhat bewildering that he abruptly brought up the main topic, and for a while, there was a prolonged silence.
“Jintae-pyeong, did you make him die?”
-What are you talking about? I don’t know anything.
“And Jintae-yeon, is she Jintae-pyeong’s daughter?”
-…….
Although he said he would answer anything, Jintongpil’s response was nothing but complete silence.
He might as well have denied it.
It was absurd to maintain silence without admitting or denying anything.
“Depending on your answer, Chasin Yoo Up will either fall or remain standing.”
-Tae-yeon… yes. That’s right. She’s Jintae-pyeong’s daughter. However, it wasn’t me who really killed Jintae-pyeong.
As expected, it went just as anticipated. Dohjun further tightened the noose around Jintongpil’s neck.
“I didn’t kill Jintae-pyeong. Why did you raise his daughter?”
-Just because. Sigh. She was a nuisance. She cried like our Taejin.
Dohjun’s lips curved up with a cold smile.
In essence, he admitted with his own mouth that he was related to Jintae-pyeong’s death.
-Chief Chadojun, please destroy the contents of the email you sent me today immediately.
“I need to think about it. Your answer lacks sincerity.”
Dohjun immediately hung up.
After that, Jintongpil persistently called with clingy phone calls, but Dohjun coldly ignored them.
Then, he called Detective Park.
“Detective Park, I’ll send you some information. Can we reopen the investigation into the case you inquired about before?”
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.
