Usually, Tae Yeon would have stayed silent, wishing for the moment to end. But today, she felt a strange courage and retorted.
“Mom. Do Jun has been in Korea for just a month.”
“So?”
“At first, he told me to live as if I didn’t exist.”
Tae Yeon’s response indicated her frustration with being used as a tool for her family’s benefit, highlighting the complexity and burden of her situation.
“Now that the situation has changed, with Do Jun in Korea, weren’t you told to do whatever it takes to secure the investment?”
“If Cha Dairy brings a more impressive international business plan, that should suffice.”
Tae Yeon’s unwavering eyes made Hye Sook’s lips quiver.
“Are you insulting your father’s business?”
“Insult? If it’s worth investing in, naturally…”
With a slap, Tae Yeon’s head turned to the side. A stinging sensation spread across her cheek. She cupped her face with her hand.
“Mom…”
“How dare you insult someone.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Raised you well, yet you’re ungrateful. Who do you think brought Cha Dairy to where it is now? How can you evaluate them like that?”
Tae Yeon regretted not staying silent. If she had, this moment would have passed quietly.
Hye Sook’s ranting continued, but something strange struck Tae Yeon. Jin was Cha Dairy’s founder, hence the dedication. But Hye Sook’s words implied something else.
Jin’s startup, if founded by him, wouldn’t be referred to as ‘insignificant.’ Moreover, she said they ‘brought it up’ as if taking over someone else’s company.
Tae Yeon confronted Hye Sook.
“Mom, what you just said…”
“What!”
“You said Cha Dairy was insignificant.”
“When did I say that!”
Hye Sook furiously retorted.
“Oh, you’re cunning. Have you always thought so?”
“No. You just said it.”
“Huh. This is why raising children is pointless. So, the investment doesn’t matter to you? Because it’s an insignificant company?”
Hye Sook stood up abruptly, lifting her lady’s bag, adorned with shiny metal charms, to hit Tae Yeon’s face.
As the bag descended, Tae Yeon braced for impact, eyes closed, but felt a familiar scent and a warm presence.
“Oh my! Do Jun…”
At that sound, Tae Yeon opened her eyes.
Do Jun, in a neat suit, stood protectively in front of her.
“Oh? Do Jun.”
Tae Yeon, realizing the warmth was Do Jun, opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Hye Sook, not knowing what to do, stamped her feet. She had accidentally hit Do Jun’s back while trying to strike Tae Yeon.
“Ah, Do Jun! Where did you come from? Are you alright?”
Hye Sook dropped her bag, her face pale.
She had inadvertently struck the heir of KK Group.
In an attempt to secure the investment, they completely botched it.
Do Jun slightly furrowed his brows, straightening up. Hye Sook’s words seemed unheard as his gaze fixed solely on Tae Yeon.
“Jin Tae Yeon, are you alright?”
“Yes? Oh, I’m fine. But, Do Jun, are you okay?”
Tae Yeon rose from the bench, looking at Do Jun with concern.
Do Jun, apparently uncomfortable from where Hye Sook had hit him, tried to reach his back. His thick arms made it hard to touch the spot, causing him some struggle.
“How could this happen…”
Hye Sook kept muttering the same words, like a fool.
Tae Yeon moved behind Do Jun.
“Could you take off your suit jacket, please?”
Without a word, Do Jun took off his jacket.
Seeing Do Jun’s back, Tae Yeon’s eyes shook intensely.
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.
