But things had changed. Not answering President Jin’s call today was her subtle act of rebellion.
It was all thanks to Do Jun.
She felt as calm as someone with a strong backing.
“I must thank him later.”
Tae Yeon, holding the ointment firmly in her hand and leaning on the sofa, resolved to repay Do Jun for his kindness.
Tired from the day’s tension and the shower, she felt extremely weary.
“I need to apply the medicine…”
With that thought, Tae Yeon fell asleep.
After his shower, Do Jun discovered Tae Yeon asleep, clutching the ointment in her hands as if it were a precious item.
As soon as he saw her face, a smile spread across his face.
“Jin Tae Teon, why were you waiting in such an uncomfortable position instead of on the bed?”
Even as Do Jun approached and spoke, Tae Yeon didn’t move.
“Let’s put this down.”
When Do Jun tried to take the ointment, Tae Yeon clutched it in her hand and pulled it towards herself.
“Ha.”
Finding her actions adorable, Do Jun bit his lip to suppress his laughter.
Lately, his heart fluttered whenever he saw Tae Yeon.
Do Jun sat beside her, gazing intently at her sleeping face.
“There’s one thing I regret.”
“…….”
“I shouldn’t have gone to America.”
He knew no one was listening, but he just felt like saying it.
If he could go back and make the choice again, he would never leave for America after getting married.
Or, if he had to go, he thought about taking Tae Yeon with him.
“What’s the use of regretting? It’s not like I get another chance.”
He felt foolish for thinking this way.
Most surprisingly, Tae Yeon had become his priority over work, which was new for him.
KK Group had always been his first priority.
Ensuring KK Group’s top position was his life’s goal.
He never thought his life’s priorities would change so suddenly because of the woman sleeping comfortably before him.
“Even now, I will do my best for you.”
While watching Tae Yeon’s face, Do Jun recalled the conversation he had at the office today.
“They don’t appreciate even after being raised well.”
“How can they judge someone who brought up their insignificant dairy business to this level?”
Hye Sook’s words were somehow off.
Especially the part about the dairy business seemed to trigger Do Jun’s suspicions.
Worried that Tae Yeon might wake up, he took out his phone and sent a message to Secretary Choi.
[Secretary Choi, investigate everything about Cha Shin Dairy from its foundation and report back.]There were numerous calls from President Jin, but Do Jun didn’t bother to look at them.
Do Jun gently lifted the soundly sleeping Tae Yeon in his arms.
Muttering to himself as he headed to the bedroom, he thought, “If you had been hit by that bag…”
He couldn’t bear the thought.
How could someone be so brutally violent towards such a frail woman who fit so snugly in his embrace?
Do Jun laid Tae Yeon on the bed and turned off the light.
As darkness enveloped the bedroom, Tae Yeon, who had been pretending to sleep, slowly opened her eyes.
‘What I just heard… what does it mean?’
Do Jun regretted his immediate departure to America for work.
‘Could it be because of me?’
It might not be, but Tae Yeon’s heart raced uncontrollably at the thought.
Due to the rising temperature, the air conditioning in KK Food’s office was running at full blast.
The air conditioning was blowing strongest at Tae Yeon’s desk, so she wore a cardigan.
She felt a chill, almost like the onset of a cold.
Getting up to drink some warm water, Tae Yeon was approached by Shi Rak.
“Assistant Manager Jin, you finished, right?”
“Yes?”
“About the report I instructed you to prepare yesterday.”
Shi Rak was demanding it as if he had entrusted Tae Yeon with the task.
Tae Yeon stood up straight and spoke in a graceful tone.
“Manager Chae.”
“Ah, Assistant Manager Jin. I need to report to the department head now, so give it to me quickly.”
“Why are you looking for Manager Chae’s report from me?”
“What?”
Shi Rak’s face crumpled in confusion.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t do it?”
“I believe I made it clear yesterday. I am already swamped with the new konjac rice product project.”
“Ha. Hey!”
Shi Rak, incredulous, stomped his foot on the ground in front of Tae Yeon.
His face reddened with anger as he pointed a finger at her.
“So what if you work an extra hour on top of your overtime!”
He scolded Tae Yeon as if she had neglected a mandatory task.
“How dare you make a fool of me? I need to take it to the department head right now. What are you going to do?”
The oppressive atmosphere made it hard not to feel tense.
As Shi Rak was berating Tae Yeon, the sound of footsteps approached and stopped behind her.
A familiar scent tickled Tae Yeon’s nose, and strangely, it calmed her heart.
“Manager Chae Shi Rak.”
The voice of Do Jun, always gentle towards her, was now cold and stern.
“It seems I’ve just heard something quite outrageous.”
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.
