Confused, Haeyeon turned to him with wide eyes, only to see Do-ha slightly dropping his brows.
“You’re starting work now.”
“…?”
“Please accept it.”
Haeyeon, who had previously rejected Do-ha’s suggestions, hastily added more words, which he found adorable. Realizing he didn’t need to persist anymore, Haeyeon finally burst into laughter.
Unsure of what he had just heard, Do-ha wrapped his arms around her tightly, as if hurrying her. Haeyeon laughed even louder, easing his worry.
“I would have applied even if you hadn’t, so don’t worry.”
“What did I just hear?”
Do-ha, in disbelief, cupped Haeyeon’s cheeks in his hands, turning her face side to side. Having suggested a housekeeper since their first day of marriage, it was hard for him to believe.
Content with the good news, Do-ha kept a bright face all the way to work. Haeyeon, watching his elated departure, almost regretted not agreeing sooner.
After bidding him a noisy farewell, Haeyeon headed to the study. She had been contemplating since the shocking revelation last night.
“I can’t do this alone.”
After weeks of research and yesterday’s events, she concluded that she needed help. The information erased under the direction of both Yoon Chairman and Do-ha wasn’t something an ordinary person could uncover.
Haeyeon presumed that Lee Soo-rin’s meeting with Yoon-seo yesterday was probably to verify the incident with her, who might know the whole story.
Thus, more help was needed.
To uncover the nearly perfectly buried truth, she needed someone not an ordinary person like herself, but someone with information and action capabilities. The truth was hidden by none other than Yoon Myung-gil Chairman and Do-ha.
Easy to say, but how many could find information concealed by those two? Even if there were, it had to be someone she could contact and ask for help without offering anything in return. Haeyeon couldn’t help but ponder all night.
There was one person she thought of immediately, but she hesitated due to a hitch.
“There’s no other choice. I have to do it.”
Haeyeon steeled her resolve and opened her planner on her phone to check dates and notes. She had heard that he would attend a city hall event this week.
They were acquaintances but had never really conversed, except at events or parties. He was Do-ha’s friend, but Do-ha didn’t like meeting him.
Lee Yoon-ho, the finance director of Mibon Foods and Lee Soo-rin’s sibling.
He was the person Haeyeon needed to meet this time.

On a deepening summer night, as the first part of the event, a nominal charity function, came to an end, the second part, attended only by invited dignitaries, began. Contrary to the darkening outdoors, the concert hall’s lights gradually illuminated, casting a soft glow.
This event, a collaboration between Seoul City and Gilmyung Je-Dang, held annually, was especially lavish and grand for its 5th anniversary, largely due to the special directives of Chairman Yoon Myung-gil.
She meticulously planned every detail, from each prop to the sequence of events, not tolerating any casual preparation, yet chose not to attend the venue. In the first year of this event, she had interviewed that her presence would turn it into a show-off party, which was part of her calculated plan.
As Chairman Yoon intended, the venue was perfect. The matte black walls gave a sophisticated feel, crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceilings casting soft light, and ivory round tables with elegantly draped tablecloths added grace.
The tasteful yet dignified interior, not overly extravagant, befit the essence of a charity event, highlighting the subtlety and elegance.
“Ha ha! The minister is here too!”
“Chairman Han, about the matter you mentioned last time…”
“Long time no see, Congressman Kim.”
Marking its 5th year, the event saw invitations extended to several government ministers, congress members, the Mayor of Seoul, and high-ranking officials. Ostensibly a charity party, it was essentially a networking and cooperative event between the business and political realms.
Amid the bustling crowd, Haeyeon and Do-ha made their entrance.
“Ah, Chairman Cha has arrived!”
With the arrival of Do-ha, known as the second son and heir apparent of Gilmyung Group, the atmosphere heated up.
Do-ha looked dapper in a deep indigo suit, enhancing his handsome features, while Haeyeon, arm in arm with him, wore a light sky-blue long dress that gracefully revealed her shoulders, accentuating her long neck and pale collarbones.
“The star of the show arrives fashionably late, I see.”
Watching Do-ha and Haeyeon from afar, Yoon-seo, holding a glass of champagne, observed them quietly. She turned her head as the couple moved at the beckoning of Chairman Yoon.
“What? Cha Do-ha just arrived?”
At Do-hun’s remark, Yoon-seo felt exasperated. Next to her, he held his glass in a slack manner.
“Haah.”
She sighed, having repeatedly emphasized the importance of today, yet he seemed incapable of grasping it. She took comfort in the fact that he hadn’t caused any trouble yet.
“Ah, and Haeyeon is here too? I thought she wouldn’t make it.”
“There’s nothing stopping her. It’s been a while since the accident, and she seems to be moving around just fine.”
Despite everything that had happened, Min Haeyeon seemed unaffected by the incident.
“Hmm, that’s one way to look at it.”
Do-hun’s reaction was different, seemingly smirking with a profound meaning. Yoon-seo ignored his odd behavior, as he was always like that. She had other things to focus on.
“You arrived before me, brother.”
It was the moment a key figure of the event appeared.
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.
