“I couldn’t treat the prosecutor to a meal today. I’ll give you another piece of good information. Chairman Song Gang-i will soon be dismissed from his position. Is that all? Prosecutor Jin-rae will also be fired again. I’ll make sure of it.”
“Should I be scared after hearing this story?”
Geum Moran shrugged, raising the corners of her mouth even more.
“Oh, by the way, another reason why money is great. It can turn countless efforts into a reward. I’ve given you the answer. Next time, come visit our art museum. A very precious piece will arrive at the end of this month.”
“Ms. Geum Moran.”
Hearing the expression “Ms. Geum Moran” after a long time, Geum Moran’s expression almost froze.
“Will it go as you wish?”
“Do you want to make a bet with me? Will it or won’t it?”
“Well, I wonder if there’s anything worth betting. It’s not in my plans.”
Line omitted many words, but Geum Moran immediately understood what she meant. Geum Moran put on a wicked smile and got into her car.
The car left abruptly, leaving Line alone standing absentmindedly.
Geum Moran… She wasn’t an opponent with ordinary skills.
As if to wake up Line’s dazed mind, her phone started vibrating.
It was a call from Song Gang.
Line was hesitant to answer the phone, feeling dispirited, but considering he was waiting for her, she had to answer as quickly as possible.
“Yes, Director.”
Have you finished work? Why does your voice sound like this?
“I’m a bit tired. I’ll just go home and rest today.”
Line spoke with a voice drained of energy.
Then go home. I’ll head over there too.
When she arrived home, he was already in front of the house. His hair was neatly covered even in front, and his clothes were comfortable, based on his standards.
Line entered the house without saying a word. Song Gang followed her, lacking energy.
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing special. Just… had a lot to do today.”
“Aren’t people usually excited when they have a lot of work?”
Line pursed her lips but couldn’t deny it.
Song Gang approached Line closely. He didn’t expect frequent contact, but today, not getting in touch felt too much like a missed chance.
However, since she didn’t even look at him, he felt disappointed.
Line forced a smile and looked up at him. But he wasn’t someone to be deceived by such a fake smile.
“If something happens, you must tell me. This is not asking for permission. There are no conditions.”
Song Gang stared at her as if urging her to confess. Line avoided his gaze and hugged his waist.
She, who had no aegyo, made such a move. It worried him, but he couldn’t help but dislike it.
“Director, you also…”
He couldn’t be arrogant either. There were untold stories she didn’t share, perhaps afraid of being a burden…
“So, are you not going to tell me what’s going on right now?”
Under the continued probing, Line raised her head and put her hand on his shoulder. Then, she lifted her heels and kissed him on the lips.
It was a kiss to silence him.
Song Gang tried not to be captivated by the sweetness. Using his height advantage, he looked down at her.
“What’s going on? Tell me quickly.”
Line, trying to cling to him, was not accepted. Determined to hear it, he made her speak even if it meant withholding his lips.
“Director… because of me… uh…”
Line couldn’t easily continue her words. It was embarrassing, and she had to be careful not to touch his pride. She gently touched the healing wound near the edge of his lips.
“If you suffer any disadvantages because of me, what should I do? I feel so sorry…”
“What disadvantages are you talking about?”
He looked at her, and she avoided his gaze.
“Because of me, you’re in this situation…”
“Why blame Prosecutor Jin Line? And who says I’m out of my father’s favor?”
When Line tried to remove her hand from Song Gang’s shoulder, he firmly grabbed her waist.
“I don’t want to be angry at Prosecutor Jin Line today.”
He spoke with anger evident in his eyes.
“Don’t lower your head.”
As Line tried to lower her head, he spoke with a firmer voice. Line, unable to act one way or the other, nervously bit her lower lip.
“If you won’t speak, then this is it.”
Releasing the grip on Line, he stepped back. Line, with a bewildered expression, took a step toward him, and he stepped back once again.
“I’ll speak. I got it. I’ll tell the truth… I’m saying it.”
It was an embarrassing situation in front of Song Gang.
Keeping his mouth shut, he waited for her to continue.
“I met Geum Moran.”
To Song Gang’s surprise, it was an unexpected story.
“For what reason?”
“For whatever reason it may be, she suggested meeting, but I didn’t go out. However, she came to the Prosecutor’s Office on my way home…”
Song Gang sighed deeply and glared at Line. Line felt a bit unjust. She hadn’t proposed the meeting, and, on top of that, she was taken by surprise because Geum Moran was waiting in front…
“Even if you didn’t meet her willingly, isn’t it a bit too much?”
“Is it a problem who met her willingly? Whether someone arranged it or how we met, Prosecutor Jin Line lost in the psychological warfare. Isn’t that the reason for this reaction?”
He was deliberately poking at the sore spot once again. Line couldn’t outright deny Song Gang’s words.
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.
