He couldn’t bring himself to say, “Yes, I understand.” He was trying to control himself from sounding too forceful.
[From the other end] “I’ll hang up now.”The call ended abruptly, causing Song Kang to twitch his eyebrow. He couldn’t quite define his complex, intense emotions, but they were certainly stimulating.
Then, a knock sounded, and his secretary entered.
“Director, Attorney Cha Haein is here.”
Haein entered with the report. Song Kang rose from his seat, trying to compose his turbulent feelings, and carefully restrained his usual smiling expression.
“I just spoke with Prosecutor Jin Line.”
If Song Kang looked like this after the call…
“Ah… She must have refused.”
“No, she didn’t. I’ll arrange and communicate the meeting time and place soon.”
Haein was taken aback. It seemed impossible for Prosecutor Line to agree…
“Prosecutor Jin Line agreed to meet?”
Song Kang nodded, his expression thoughtful.
“For now, yes.”
With Song Kang’s mood not seeming bright, Haein was confused.
“Did the Legal Affairs Office come up with a response strategy for the summons? It seems like the Legal Affairs Director won’t be as transparent as before.”
“Yes, that’s right. I came to discuss that.”
“Just leave it. Hiding things won’t change the fact that this case can’t proceed without me.”
Song Kang planned to leave the Legal Affairs Director be for the time being. A greedy dog is easy to handle.
Whenever Song Kang offered a bigger card than Geum Morang, he knew that such a person would fawn over him, but he did not need such a dog. Hence, he intended to let Geum Morang have her way.
“Director, how shall we prepare for the meeting with Prosecutor Jin Line?”
“There’s no need to prepare. I’ll go alone.”
Haein felt uneasy inwardly. It wasn’t that she doubted Song Kang’s ability; she knew that even when Prosecutor Jin Line showed a cold attitude at the prosecutor’s office, she maintained public decorum.
Worrying about the potential display of her ‘crazy law school’ persona, Haein wanted to accompany him, but since Song Kang insisted on going alone, she could only hope no mishaps would occur.
“We have to bring her in, no matter what.”
Haein was visibly shocked by Song Kang’s words.
“Bring her in?”
“We will bring Jin Line Prosecutor into Taesung. Into our legal affairs team.”
Haein’s eyes wavered at the thought of Jin Line joining Taesung’s legal affairs team, and the image of the legal affairs director, who would be outraged by her arrival, was vivid in her mind.
“Director Song…”
Without responding, Song Kang simply looked at her.
“Never mind.”
If he had decided, so it would be. No amount of persuasion could change that.
Song Kang chose the most leisurely time to text Line. He deliberately picked a quiet time to focus on the conversation with her, and of course, the location was a private one.
A few hours after sending the text, he received a brief reply: “Okay.”
The communication with her always felt ambiguous. It wasn’t rude, but it was irritating, and although it wasn’t friendly, the necessary information was always crisply delivered.
Song Kang reviewed the reports sent from the legal affairs office. He knew there would be separate content for submission to the prosecution, but he had to read it despite its annoyance.
The secretary entered.
“Director, it’s time to leave. You asked to be informed 10 minutes early to avoid traffic.”
Song Kang got up, holding the half-read legal affairs report, and headed to the meeting place.
The traffic was heavy. He was glad he left 10 minutes early.
Song Kang used the time to review the legal affairs documents and read the explanations sent by Attorney Cha Haein.
Glancing at his wristwatch, he realized he would arrive just in time for the appointment.
He had no expectations that Prosecutor Jin Line would be punctual, but he did not want to be late himself. It was always his principle to keep his commitments.
Approaching the destination, with just one traffic light left, Song Kang put down the documents and calmly collected his thoughts. He was ready for his first transaction with her.
After replacing Taesung’s legal affairs director, he planned to make Jin Line Prosecutor his ally, even if it meant offering her a seat in his team.
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.
