“Dongseo.”
Since Minhaeyeon was walking slowly, Yoonseo could catch up with her shortly.
Yoonseo called Hayeon quite affectionately, but when the echoing unfamiliarity was shaken off, Minhaeyeon continued to talk, making Yoonseo’s whole body tense.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it.”
The arrow that came back like a boomerang made Yoonseo doubt her ears.
It was none other than what she said. Not somewhere else but in this mansion.
I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it.
Pushing away Minhaeyeon and standing still on the stairs, apologizing.
“!”
Yoonseo, who was momentarily stunned, came to her senses. This is Daechi-dong, and Chairman Yoon is inside.
“Why are you suddenly saying sorry?”
Softening her gaze, Yoonseo looked at Minhaeyeon naturally.
Everything that happened in this house became a non-event, buried deep under Chairman Yoon’s command. Yoonseo and Minhaeyeon had not brought up the long-buried inheritance issue.
At least that’s what Yoonseo thought.
Reflexively frowning, Yoonseo approached the smiling Minhaeyeon. Her heart pounded unpleasantly.
Closing the distance and looking at Minhaeyeon, the discomfort heightened at Minhaeyeon’s smile.
Minhaeyeon’s smile was close to a sneer, and realizing that fact belatedly, Yoonseo was bewildered.
The lips were trembling, but Minhaeyeon was the first to speak.
“You know. What I mean. Ah. If you didn’t understand, should I explain, Jaeyeon?”
Jaeyeon? So, she and Minhaeyeon are the main characters, and the stage is exactly the same as it was then.
Speaking as if teasing, Minhaeyeon tilted her red lips.
Suddenly, a damp and cool breeze brushed against the back of the neck.
It wasn’t just because of the night air that Yoonseo’s forehead felt moist and cool.
For a moment, Yoonseo felt a chilling sensation and thought that she should say something to Minhaeyeon, but she quickly closed her mouth again.
‘Be calm.’
Shallow wrinkles appeared in Yoonseo’s eyes.
Trying not to show that she was surprised, Yoonseo brushed her hair as if nothing happened, forcibly lifting the corners of her mouth, but those corners quickly straightened.
Because of Minhaeyeon’s next words.
“This time, let Hyung roll down. Then you’ll know. How awful it feels.”
Yoonseo took a step back without realizing it.
Although she felt a quite dry and cold wind brushing her throat, this moment seemed to linger in her memory for quite some time.
No, she didn’t know if it would be unforgettable.
After finishing her words, Minhaeyeon smiled with well-blended eyeshadow and started smiling with a smile that spread across her entire face, making it chilling.
This time, she could definitely tell. Clearly, something had happened.
Yoonseo bit her lip.
“Are you going to leave her like that?”
When Chairman Yoon finished his business call, Cha Kijung asked as if he had been waiting. Yoonmyunggil sighed.
They don’t give him a break.
“It’s the second thing. What’s so great about it when you almost made your husband die? Didn’t you see her expression earlier? She was saying that it’s irritating, even while pretending to be calm.”
“I heard it.”
Yoonmyunggil replied with a short sigh.
“But still, what’s the big deal? Why only me? Do I have more skills than just cooking?”
Until when will he keep doing this? Yoonmyunggil touched his forehead. The voice, with no ups and downs, flowed out of her.
“A bit out.”
Suddenly, his wife’s words became shorter. Cha Kijung blinked his eyes slowly.
If Chairman Yoon uses casual language to him, it means that he is very uncomfortable.
“…What?”
“Since I have something to think about alone, go out for a while.”
“…Uh?”
When Cha Kijung went out, Yoonmyunggil’s expression changed.
Leaving Minhaeyeon like this, as Cha Kijung said, was not appropriate.
Yoonmyunggil recalled Haeyeon’s appearance at the Fritz Hotel party. Even though she saw Doha’s wrist injury, her face showed no change.
Is that the expression of someone who lost their memory?
He knew that Minhaeyeon had lost her memory, even when Doha was discharged early.
What Yoonseo did was not a memory but something that happened even though she lost her mind.
Yoonmyunggil could see Haeyeon in that state thanks to Doha.
There was no need to scratch the scab by saying that his wife was not normal and she didn’t know what Yoonseo had done yet.
‘Don’t do unnecessary things.’
Telling my wife that she is not normal is not much better than dealing with Doha, and besides, he still doesn’t know what Han Yoonseo did, so there was no need to scratch the scab.
“Don’t do unnecessary things.”
Even thinking back, what Han Yoonseo did was beyond the line.
That girl who would do anything for her own benefit.
He had a guess, but he didn’t know it would be to this extent.
Having a sharp mind and ambition is fine, but the Minhaeyeon inheritance incident was reckless.
However, someone like Han Yoonseo is not important right now.
Cha Doha. Today, she clearly violated the contract despite the clause that she should not take her wife’s side in Daechi-dong.
Surely. When something came to mind, a knock was heard.
“What’s going on.”
“Chairman, dessert is ready.”
Annoying. Although he wasn’t in the mood for a simple dessert, Yoonmyunggil replied, understandingly, and stood up from his seat.
The large wrinkle on her forehead revealed her inner thoughts.
Yoonseo wondered what she had just heard. Upon closer inspection, Minhaeyeon had makeup different from usual.
Well-arranged eyelashes with mascara, and her large, elegant eyes were colorful with blended eyeshadow.
Minhaeyeon, who always did makeup that seemed like she didn’t, now had perfect eye makeup and features as if she had just come out of a shop.
Because of that, Minhaeyeon’s mockery became even clearer.
“It hurt a lot that day.”
“…….?”
“Say something or avoid me.”
Minhaeyeon spoke so naturally without blinking her eyes.
Yoonseo, with a troubled mind, inserted the loosened strands of hair into her ear and pleaded with anxiety.
“Dongseo, what are you saying right now…”
“Well, you wouldn’t have thought of that. Miss Han Yoonseo.”
When she said it low and close, Yoonseo’s face stiffened, and Minhaeyeon’s smiling face gradually disappeared.
“What audacity, Dongseo.”
A tense gaze clashed in the air, and a silent metal sound echoed.
Minhaeyeon was the first to turn her head. She turned around and whispered to Yoonseo’s ear, which seemed like she would pass by.
“You’ll regret not being able to die with me that day.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
