Before she could say anything, Do Jun wrapped his arms around Tae Yeon’s waist and pulled her forcefully towards him.
Their lips met.
Tae Yeon’s eyes widened at the soft sensation of his lips.
Do Jun drew his body even closer, diminishing the distance between them.
‘Suddenly, why…’
His arm tightly around her waist, their bodies now more pressed together.
The parts of her body touching him heated up rapidly.
Her heart pounded fiercely, as if it might burst out.
‘Wasn’t he in too much pain earlier…’
The man who couldn’t undress himself due to his back wound was nowhere to be seen, as Do Jun lifted a hand to cradle Tae Yeon’s face and breathed more heat into the kiss.
Forgetting to push him away, Tae Yeon instinctively closed her eyes.
Do Jun gently stroked her hair and whispered affectionately.
“Thanks to Jin Tae Yeon, I feel a bit better.”
“What?”
Lifting her head after their lips parted, Tae Yeon met Do Jun’s intense gaze.
“Do you know about the benefits of a kiss?”
“Benefits?”
“There are many, including pain relief.”
‘Did he kiss me to forget the pain?’
Seeing Tae Yeon’s eyes tremble uncontrollably, Do Jun chuckled.
“But now, there’s a problem.”
“What is it?”
“It seems the pain in my back is returning, perhaps the kiss was too short.”
Do Jun winced slightly, making an uncomfortable face.
“So I should apply the ointment quickly… Huh?”
Before she could finish, Tae Yeon was suddenly lifted up.
Do Jun carried her in his arms to the bed next to them.
Fearing she might fall, Tae Yeon clung tightly to his neck.
Gently setting Tae Yeon down, Do Jun climbed onto the bed as well.
Kneeling, he positioned Tae Yeon between his legs and sent her a dizzying look.
Then, he moved his hands to the shirt fluttering annoyingly.
Thanks to Tae Yeon already unbuttoning it, he easily took it off.
As his well-defined muscles were fully exposed, Tae Yeon covered her face with her hands.
No matter how many times she saw it, it was always this embarrassing. His body never seemed to get less stunning.
Too sculptural to believe, even when seen with her own eyes.
Do Jun’s sultry voice poured over Tae Yeon.
“Why do you always avoid looking?”
“Do Jun, you undressed so suddenly.”
“If I told you before undressing…”
“Yes?”
“Would you then observe properly?”
Tae Yeon couldn’t assure him. Whether announced or not, the glorious sight of Do Jun’s body wasn’t going anywhere.
Do Jun reached out and grabbed Tae Yeon’s wrists that were covering her face.
“I put effort into maintaining this body, and it’s a bit sad if my wife turns away.”
“Sad?”
Surprised by his words, Tae Yeon slowly removed her hands.
Lifting her eyelids slightly, she saw Do Jun smiling with his lips curled up.
“Yeah. Sad.”
“Why…?”
“Let’s think about it. If the new product Jin Tae Yeon painstakingly created was ignored in the market, how would you feel?”
Tae Yeon’s face immediately showed distress at Do Jun’s words.
The mere thought was unpleasant.
The idea that a new product, crafted over months and with personal time, could be disregarded in the market was truly heart-wrenching.
“Not good.”
Do Jun lazily lifted the corners of his lips and slowly leaned in.
This action brought his well-toned upper body muscles directly into Tae Yeon’s view.
“That’s exactly how I feel right now.”
“What?”
“I wake up an hour before Jin Tae Yeon to exercise thoroughly. It seems like my efforts aren’t being recognized.”
Listening to Do Jun, Tae Yeon found his reasoning quite plausible and unknowingly nodded.
“That’s a way to see it.”
“Exactly.”
Do Jun tilted his head slightly and stared intently at Tae Yeon.
His gaze felt as intense as standing under the midsummer sun.
“We talked about not knowing much about each other because we’ve been apart for too long.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Do Jun grabbed Tae Yeon’s hand, which she had used to cover her face, and brought it to his chest.
Startled by the unexpected contact with Do Jun’s bare skin, Tae Yeon jerked her hand away.
“Is it unpleasant?”
“No! How could it be?”
“Then you were surprised.”
“Right.”
“Oh, I acted impulsively again without warning.”
Do Jun sent a friendly smile and grabbed Tae Yeon’s wrist again, sending a deep look.
“Now, don’t be startled.”
He brought her hand back to his chest.
His left chest, where his heart beat strongly and fiercely, transmitted directly to Tae Yeon.
She was taken aback.
Do Jun was just as nervous as she was.
Yet his expression remained unchanged.
Keeping a calm face, Do Jun slowly moved her hand downwards.
Tae Yeon’s fingers touched his well-defined abs, resembling chiseled chocolate.
Tickled by her touch, Do Jun’s eyebrows slightly rose.
“Couples should have no secrets. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes… that’s right.”
What does touching Do Jun’s perfect muscles have to do with secrets?
Feeling faint from the solid muscle under her fingertips, Tae Yeon’s mind began to drift.
When Tae Yeon tried to avert her gaze, Do Jun reached out, gently holding her chin, turning her face back towards him.
“This body is maintained for my wife.”
“What?”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
