“Jin Taeyeon, why are you looking for her from me? Oh right, Dad promised to give me anything if I took her away from Cha Dojun. So, protect Cha Shin Uyeop from failing.”
I need Taeyeon now. We must find her. Taeyeon is our hope.
Taehyeon’s forehead deepened with wrinkles as she heard unreasonable remarks.
Jin Dongpil, the CEO, wondered if he had eaten something wrong since the morning.
It was truly absurd to suddenly refer to Taeyeon as the hope. It was really absurd.
When he begged me to get rid of Taeyeon, and suddenly, she is considered the hope.
“Dad, did you drink in the morning?”
No, I’m fine. I wish this were all a dream. Taehyeon, we need to find Taeyeon quickly. The only person who can stop Cha Dojun is Taeyeon.
Meanwhile,
While checking his phone, Hyesook, who had risen, called Taehyeon with a contemplative expression.
“Taehyeon, we’re really in trouble…”
“Oh, why are you so gloomy from the morning?”
Taehyeon roughly grabbed the phone offered by Hyesook.
“If it’s useless, I really won’t stand it…”
Then, looking at the emerging articles one by one, Taehyeon dropped the phone she was holding.
“Mom, what is this?”
“That’s what I’m saying. What on earth is happening?”
Only then did it seem like Taehyeon understood the situation.
From Taehyeon’s phone, Jin Dongpil’s desperate cries could be heard.
Taehyeon, please find our Taeyeon! Please!
It was the moment when Jin Dongpil’s habitual words became a reality.
Cha Shin Uyeop is going under.
It was too quick, coming unexpectedly, leaving her bewildered.
Taehyeon threw the hairband she had on her head harshly and left the skincare room.
Wearing slippers, she called Taeyeon, running without thinking.
Dduddudduddu-
As expected, there was no response from Taeyeon.
“You said you missed me.”
Taeyeon, without even thinking about picking up the dropped bag, remained frozen in confusion.
In the meantime, Dojun took one step at a time, approaching Taeyeon.
The hot autumn sun poured down on Dojun.
Coming right up to Taeyeon, he spoke straightforwardly.
“Why is your face like that? As if you’ve seen a ghost.”
“Oh, Mr. Dojun…”
Since coming to Busan, it was a face she had thought about without missing a single moment.
Meeting Dojun, whom she had missed so much, brought more unease than joy.
Taeyeon took a short deep breath.
If she talked too much here, she felt like she might shed tears at any moment.
Effortlessly, trying not to make eye contact with Dojun, Taeyeon stared at the ground.
“Mr. Dojun, didn’t you see the divorce papers I wrote and posted?”
“I saw.”
“But why are you here…”
“I think I told you. I came because I missed you.”
“What?”
If he hadn’t seen the divorce papers I handed over, it would make sense.
However, since he saw the papers I presented, it was absurd for him to say he missed me.
It might be better to scold him and ask what he was doing.
While thinking about that,
Dojun took out a familiar brown envelope from the briefcase he held in one hand.
“Are you talking about this? The documents you left behind.”
“Yes…”
Why did he bother to come all the way down with these documents?
Is he trying to show me the seal in front of me?
Taeyeon was confused as she couldn’t grasp Dojun’s intentions.
Dojun put the documents back into the briefcase and bowed his waist.
Picking up the bag that Taeyeon dropped, he smiled faintly at her.
“Have you had breakfast?”
“…….”
There was no question to ask in this situation.
“Did you eat?”
“Yes, roughly…”
“You’re lying again.”
Dojun scrutinized Taeyeon’s face as if worried.
“If you don’t eat properly…”
“What?”
“Even if I grill beef for you, you jump up and leave while crying.”
“How do you know that?”
As soon as she blurted out that question, two men who had approached her quite kindly came to mind.
“No way…”
“If you felt bad, I’m sorry. Sending you alone to Ta Ji was too worrisome for me.”
That statement made it clear.
Ilhoon and Ihun were the ones Dojun sent.
Ironically, there was only one thought in this situation.
Dojun must have known all about my whereabouts.
It’s somewhat cruel that I had no idea about his movements.
Thanks to Ilhoon and Ihun, life in this guesthouse wasn’t entirely uncomfortable, so I didn’t resent Dojun for assigning someone to me.
Well, how could I resent Dojun?
Bearing resentment was solely my responsibility.
Taeyeon reached out her arm to Dojun, gesturing for the bag.
“That’s my bag, please give it back.”
“If you have breakfast with me.”
“What?”
“Then I’ll give you back this bag.”
Dojun subtly gestured to the car behind him with his chin.
“Hurry up. I’m really hungry.”
“Eat by yourself.”
Facing Taeyeon’s firm refusal, Dojun wore a bitter expression.
“That’s too much. To the person who ran here since dawn just to see you.”
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.”
