“If that’s the case.”
“As long as I continue to stay by your side, Dojun will be greatly hurt. My sister Taejin is certainly someone who can do that.”
So, we thought it would be best for each other to part ways at this point.
“I don’t mind.”
“What?”
“I don’t mind.”
“It doesn’t matter to me.”
“Dojun, what you didn’t do can be easily made to look like something you did by people around us.”
Dojun had a face that showed no concern whatsoever, whether or not it was said.
“If you’re with me, I don’t care what happens. Even if I lose everything by your side. I just need you.”
“…”
“Even if I lose everything by your side. I just need you.”
Sigh. Taeyeon let out a low breath.
She knew well that Dojun was just as stubborn as he was.
I simply couldn’t understand why things had to be so lingering.
“Mr. Dojun, Taejin unni recently took an unbelievable photo.”
“Are you talking about the incident where I held the hand of a woman who was about to collapse in the hotel lobby?”
“You knew?”
This time, it was Taeyeon who was surprised. Dojun smirked slightly.
“I knew. I knew and intentionally let it happen.”
“Why…”
“To make them think they’re above us?”
“Even so, if that really gets in the news, the position of KK Group’s successor could be in danger due to absurd rumors.”
Upon hearing those words, Dojun finally confirmed.
This woman ran away from me not because she hated me but because she didn’t want to. On the contrary, it was the opposite. Taeyeon was worrying about him as much as Dojun was doing for her.
“Still, I don’t mind.”
“No, I can’t stand seeing that. Dojun, please think logically.”
“True. When Jintae Yeon is with you, Cha Dojun, who is usually logical, disappears. Emotions always come first.”
Saying that, Dojun even chuckled.
“I’m really serious, Mr. Dojun.”
“I’m serious too.”
With one hand on his chin, Dojun asked Taeyeon.
“So, if, for example…”
“…”
“We tie up Jinvung Phil, who is trying to ruin us, and Jintaejin.”
“What?”
“If we do that, then you have no reason to demand a divorce from me.”
It had to be so. But was that possible?
While Taeyeon hesitated for a moment.
Dojun pulled out a tablet PC from his briefcase.
“Next is Jintaejin.”
Taeyeon glanced through the file Dojun handed her.
Detailed information about the illegal activities Jintaejin had done in the club was neatly organized.
“When did you gather all this?”
“It’s an easy thing for me. It’s much easier than turning your heart back.”
Taeyeon slowly ran her tongue over her lower lip.
“If this comes out as news, Jintaejin will be too busy surviving to bother us.”
That meant life would be hell to the extent that they wouldn’t even think about messing with Taeyeon and Dojun.
“Oh, dear. The reason you said I had to get a divorce has disappeared.”
Taeyeon clenched her fist under the table.
Dojun’s words were correct.
She had considered leaving not because she hated Dojun.
Rather, if Dojun could eliminate that culprit.
There was no reason for her to leave him.
While observing Taeyeon, who seemed to waver for a moment.
Dojun made one more proposal, still swaying.
“Mr. Jinvung Phil found out that he is not your real father.”
“He did?”
“He must have been very shocked. Are you okay?”
“Yes…”
No, it wasn’t okay.
It felt like the world she had believed in and lived confidently had betrayed her.
Bending his upper body forward, Dojun whispered affectionately.
“Aren’t you curious about who your biological parents were?”
“…”
“Let’s find out together by my side.”
“How can we do that…”
Dojun grinned and extended his hand over the table.
“I’ll tell you when you hold my hand.”
Taeyeon glanced at Dojun’s large hand.
It was an offering hand suggesting to rediscover the world she had lost.
The man I had disdainfully abandoned was extending his hand again.
Taeyeon covered her face with both hands and let out a slow sigh.
“Mr. Dojun, you don’t hate me, do you?”
“How could I hate you?”
Taeyeon’s chestnut brown eyes, raised, shook.
“Not hate me?”
Dojun nodded confidently with a firm expression.
“Of course, it was cruel of you to plan to leave me without saying anything, but now that we’re facing each other like this, those feelings seem to have disappeared quickly.”
Why are you so lenient with me?
“I told you, didn’t I? I need Jintae Yeon so much.”
“Instead of helping, I might even be a hindrance.”
“No.”
Dojun stood up with a confident face.
Then he approached Taeyeon, stood by her side, and bowed slightly.
The distance between the two faces became very close, and Dojun stopped approaching.
Then, he raised her hand and gently placed it on his chest.
“Do you feel it?”
“Yes.”
Dojun’s heart was beating strongly. It was fast enough to be perplexing.
“I have energy like this only when I’m with you, as if I have to live.”
“So, consider it as saving one person. How about that?”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
