It’s rejected! Rejected!
Upon hearing the news of rejection, Line was ecstatic but didn’t show it. Instead, she responded calmly.
“Yes, you worked hard.”
After a brief call, Song Kang emerged from the detention center not long after. Reporters, seemingly relieved that the wait was over regardless of the outcome, rushed toward him.
Line, who was about to face him, quickly left the scene. Perhaps due to the late hour, she had trouble finding a taxi. After about 30 minutes, she finally managed to catch one.
Instead of heading straight home, Line went to the office. Although she had viewed the report shared by Hae-in on her phone, she felt it would be refreshing to check it on paper and organize the strategy.
Upon arriving at the office floor, Line hesitated and stopped. It was because she saw Song Kang in the distance.
“Director…”
Song Kang stood with an extremely angry expression. Line attempted to take a step but her legs gave way. She hesitated for a moment, then quickly picked herself up.
However, taking another step was challenging. Despite not showing it outwardly, she had put so much tension into waiting for the results that her legs seemed to have given out.
She had been standing in the cold, walked for quite a while, and on top of that, the degree of tension in her whole body… Line’s legs had done enough for the day.
Song Kang approached her with determination. He extended his hand. Even though she didn’t want to extend her hand in her current mood, she also didn’t want to leave her sitting on the dirty ground.
“I can go by myself.”
Even with Line’s words, Song Kang did not withdraw his hand. Judging by his expression, it seemed that persisting any longer would be futile.
Reluctantly, she took his hand. Line’s small and cold hand touched his. Song Kang felt a shiver not from her hand but from his heart.
Thinking about how she waited outside in the cold for such a long time, his stomach turned.
Line held his hand and stood up. Song Kang was about to brush off her coat, but he stopped his hand, looking at her uncomfortably.
Everything surrounding him today made his whole body feel uncomfortable. Although he wanted to wash away the peculiar feeling he had, he ran toward Line. His feelings were as dizzying as they could be.
Glancing at him, Line combed her hair while observing his reaction. As Song Kang tried to let go of her hand, Line’s leg gave way once again.
Song Kang quickly grabbed her arm as she was about to sit on the ground. Setting aside numerous things he wanted to say, he embraced her.
Although Song Kang didn’t want to convey emotions through his touch, he unwittingly exerted more force than usual.
“Oh…! I can really go by myself…!”
Line’s face turned red with embarrassment. His touch was rough yet courteous. In Song Kang’s touch, complicated thoughts were hidden.
As he headed towards the office, Line pondered on how to comfort him and ease the emotions he might be feeling right now. On the other hand, she questioned whether she had an obligation to organize his thoughts.
Upon entering the office, he let go of Line.
“Didn’t you convey what I said to Attorney Cha Hae-in?”
Placing his hand on his waist, Song Kang looked down at her with a stern expression. There was no way Attorney Cha Hae-in would not follow Song Kang’s instructions.
“Ah… still…”
Line couldn’t lie because it felt like she had just locked eyes with him by the window.
“I tried my best until the end to keep my promise with Prosecutor Jin Rain… Why doesn’t he listen to me like this…!”
She bowed her head deeply. It was due to her worrying nature. In a fit of injustice and frustration, she clenched her fist and raised her head again.
“Director, but why are you so angry? We got the rejection we wanted, why on earth are you acting like this? I told you not to come, but you did. Why is that?”
Her raised voice resonated loudly. Song Kang’s emotions were not calm either. There was a reason he told her not to wait…
“I’m angry. I’m angry because Prosecutor Jin Rain is standing there like that.”
Unable to hide her bewilderment, Line shot him a glance.
“How did I look?”
Even though she asked that way, Line tried to act as if it didn’t matter, but her voice trembled thin.
“Would it have been nice to see someone who was once in there, became mine, and then stood trembling outside the fence? That’s why I told you not to come, but you didn’t listen.”
At Song Kang’s words, Line paused, stiffening.
“Oh… I thought too little. I didn’t know I would look so pathetic.”
Line solidified her expression, turned her body sharply. She tried to correct her stumbling body by squeezing her strength.
“I’ll be going now.”
“What are you doing now?”
Observing Line’s attitude closely, Song Kang called her back. Line stopped her intended steps. However, she couldn’t bring herself to turn back towards him.
“Prosecutor Jin Rain.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
