If she knew about the existence of this room, she wouldn’t be making such a playful expression.
Jae Ha laughed as he released his grip on the door handle that he had been holding while looking at Yeo Jin like that.
“If you can open it, go ahead. It’s probably locked anyway.”
Yeo Jin turned the doorknob at his words.
However, all she heard was the clicking sound of the doorknob turning; it remained closed.
“It’s really locked. Don’t you have the key? I want to see what’s inside.”
“No, you can’t. This room belongs to someone.”
The locked room was a precious space for someone who was deeply missed.
Once again, memories flooded back, and Jae Ha smiled with a hint of bitterness.
“Someone owns it?”
Yeo Jin seemed curious about who the owner might be but didn’t ask further.
Perhaps she sensed that there were reasons not to inquire.
“Yes, yes. So, let’s go to the next room.”
With that, Jae Ha led Yeo Jin towards the bedroom.
And Yeo Jin peered into the open bedroom, then widened her eyes in surprise.
“What’s this?”
Yeo Jin pointed to the bed in front of the window and looked astonished.
On the bed, neatly arranged among the pristine white bedding, were some neatly folded clothes.
“You said there weren’t any spare clothes.”
Saying so, she approached the bedside with confident strides.
She reached out and picked up the neatly folded nightdress, then turned back with a surprised expression.
“Now our eyes meet.”
Standing upright and looking at Yeo Jin, Jae Ha felt satisfied.
“You believed that? We’ve come this far; did you really think there wouldn’t be any clothes to wear?”
Jae Ha pointed to the wardrobe, which was located far from the bed.
On the rack he pointed to, various types of clothes were hanging.
“You know I’m a thorough person.”
Now that she realized she had been fooled, Yeo Jin furrowed her brow.
Jae Ha’s mischievous tone sounded almost indignant, and Yeo Jin pursed her lips as if she had been unfairly treated.
“You should have told me then. I’ve been wandering around in a bathrobe all this time. It was so embarrassing.”
“I like my current look.”
Perhaps due to the lack of makeup, his flushed cheeks stood out more. His skin, still moist from the shower, glowed more transparently than ever.
The temptation to touch her flushed cheek was as strong as a collision.
“The most beautiful. Among all the looks I’ve seen.”
Upon hearing those words, Yeo Jin swallowed hard.
She wouldn’t know. She wouldn’t even realize that her tense demeanor looked beautiful to me.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt an irresistible, deep thirst. Slowly, I approached Yeo Jin.
“As you can see, there’s only one bed, so there’s no choice.”
I couldn’t resist the impulse any longer and reached out, gently cupping Yeo Jin’s cheek in my hand.
Feeling the warmth of her skin beneath my fingertips, I smiled softly, my eyes softening.
“Shall we sleep together tonight?”
Lady Oh, along with Jae Ha, downed whiskey continuously after Yeo Jin’s departure.
However, her boiling anger showed no signs of subsiding.
Knowing that Jae Ha was the offspring of her former wife, Yeo Jin taunted me with a mocking smile.
Her eyes, meeting mine, sparkled mischievously.
Yeo Jin had never been one to look away first, whether then or now.
Her haughty temperament was plainly evident in her demeanor, and it grated on Lady Oh immensely.
“Why reject my proposal?”
Despite being the sole heiress of the W Group, she was now in the precarious position of a duckling lost in the Nakdong River without feathers.
She pursed her lips as she gazed at the sumptuous feast laid out on the table.
Her encounter with Yeo Jin had ended with little gain.
She had come to Korea at great risk to mend the relationship between Ji Han and Yeo Jin.
Just the thought of Chairman Seo, upon hearing the news of her return, flying into a rage, made Lady Oh dizzy.
“Hasn’t that old man forgiven us by now?”
An intensely stubborn sentiment.
Lady Oh furrowed her brow as she recalled Chairman Seo, who had once looked at me with a disdainful gaze.
It was the moment when she neatly refilled her glass with whiskey.
From the entrance, the sound of shuffling footsteps could be heard, and someone stopped in front of her.
“Girl, you’re still as audacious as ever.”
Lady Oh didn’t even lift her head as she sipped from her glass.
Then, Ji Han, who had sat across from her, filled his empty glass.
“I told you not to meet her.”
“How could I not meet her? My only son went through a breakup.”
“She won’t listen to me telling her to come back. If she were a reasonable person, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”
Ji Han chuckled at the thought of Yeo Jin, who had not even blinked at his attempts to persuade her.
Then, she poured whiskey into the empty glass next to her and drank it all in one go.
“It’s not the time to smile, President Seo. I heard the breakup took a toll on you.”
“Yes, it did. We were a brand that focused on supporting newlyweds and families.”
“Do you have a plan?”
He didn’t expect that the breakup news with him would overshadow the brand launch.
Ji Han’s mouth went dry as he recalled that time.
“While our reputation has taken a hit, it won’t lead to a boycott of our apartments. For now, our only choice is to make the new business project a success.”
She answered as if Ji Han was nothing unusual, but she thought that something was amiss deep inside him. Thus, she rolled her tired eyes and gazed into Ji Han’s inner thoughts, letting out a deep sigh.
“Yeo Jin, that girl isn’t someone you can underestimate.”
“…She has changed a lot.”
Ji Han agreed with Oh Ye-sa’s words. Somewhere along the way, the Yeo Jin he knew had transformed into a different person.
“It’s not just a matter of change; it feels like she’s become an entirely different person.”
Ji Han was experiencing Yeo Jin’s newfound determination for the first time. Thinking of her left him feeling uneasy, so he filled his glass to the brim.
“It’s not just a matter of change; it feels like she’s become an entirely different person.”
Ji Han experienced Yeo Jin’s unyielding demeanor for the first time. As he thought of Yeo Jin, his heart grew heavy, and he filled his glass to the brim.
“Those two, Jae Ha and Yeo Jin, headed to Jae Ha’s villa.”
“Two of them?”
“Who else? It’s that rascal Jae Ha. How did Yeo Jin know she was here and come looking for her?”
Ji Han paused, his hand clutching the glass. He had no inkling that Jae Ha had come all the way to Hannam-dong in search of Yeo Jin.
“Those two went to the villa?”
“They headed to the villa?”
“Yes. You know how Seo Representative inherited that property from his mother? Whether it’s a love affair or some other scheme, who knows.”
At Euijin’s words, Ji Han’s eyes sharpened abruptly.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
