Originally, Gieon’s temperament was like that.
Other people’s sincerity or emotions didn’t matter at all, and once he disliked something, he hated it to the end.
The exception to this absolute rule was only the one person I chose, and everyone else was irrelevant.
Upon receiving a report from Jinseok that Seonyeong was causing trouble again at her home, Gieon was determined to finally resolve this troublesome issue.
While Seonyeong had been causing various incidents so far, Gieon had not been quietly handling them.
“The data I’ve collected so far is shining like this. Is the contract termination document ready?”
Yes. I’ve prepared it in advance because I thought you might need it soon.
Evidence for activities during the contract period that were conducted unfaithfully and caused damage to the company’s image. Financial losses incurred for the purpose of care, and so on.
There was no evidence to deny the charges, and delving into personal matters would only make it worse.
The hand I held was already enough, and a more accurate pretext was needed. Gieon finally seized the opportunity.
“Did it happen?”
After finishing the call, Gieon noticed Yuin standing silently without a sound.
Did he hear everything? From where to where? Gieon’s scrutinizing gaze carefully examined Yuin.
“Did I sleep for a long time?”
“No.”
Yuin, who asked with slightly sleepy eyes, seemed uneasy when told that there was something to take care of for a moment, for some reason.
“Where?”
“I have some work to do.”
“Then what about me?”
Since Yuin always showed a simple reaction, this was the first time he had deeply penetrated like this.
Gieon found such a reaction surprising, but at the same time, he was subtly pleased. He hoped for more involvement, more interference.
More, deeper.
“Come here.”
Gieon enclosed the small body in his arms, leaving one arm free, and activated his wild imagination.
If Yuin were here in this desolate space where only he wandered. If the place she walked out of was a place where we slept and woke up together.
If Yuin waited at the end of the fading day. What if we became closer like that?
Even the excuse of choosing clothes was part of that fanciful imagination.
“Should I wear this?”
“…Um, no, that one.”
The moment Yuin’s white and quiet hand reached the point of choosing a tie every morning, Gieon felt like he had been brainwashed by the marriage talk that Sangcheol always bothered him with.
The strange excitement continued from the moment Gieon left with Yuin, who seemed to be at home with him.
Although Gieon was quite alright, unable to expect profits with a bunch of baggage and heading for the worst, he was eager to go back, filled only with the desire to meet Yuin waiting at home.
However.
If there is Murphy’s Law, things went strangely wrong, as if according to that law.
“Ah! Executive!”
The manager who welcomed Gieon like a savior had a face on the verge of tears.
Finding a place to step was difficult due to the mess inside the house where they had barged in, as reported by the neighbor who called the police, and Gieon had to quickly send them away without any issues.
“Clean up here, and finish with the police. Make sure to enforce the crackdown thoroughly so they can’t talk nonsense later.”
Gieon’s forehead, with a voice lowered enough to be heard only by Jinseok, was filled with irritation.
Jinseok, too, was perplexed by the current situation, but he didn’t show any sign of distress in front of his superiors, who were quietly seething.
To avoid stirring up his emotions further, Jinseok quickly muttered.
“Yes. I’ve checked the hospital with SJ Foundation. I chose a location slightly away from the city center, thinking it would be better than downtown. I’ve sent the address via message.”
“Thank you for your hard work. Finish up quickly and come with me. There will be a lot to do.”
Leaving Jinseok at Seonyeong’s house, Gieon, along with the manager supporting Seonyeong, who seemed to be in poor condition, entered the elevator to go to the hospital.
“Did you clean up before I arrived? Can’t you get yourself together?”
“A bit, yes. But it’s chaotic… even if I try to stop her….”
Gieon, who had been watching the billboard with annoyance, clicked his tongue. Then, Seonyeong’s body, which had seemed to collapse as if losing her will, slowly raised her head.
“E-Executive?”
The man’s gaze was fixed on the numbers going down to the underground as if he hadn’t heard anything.
“Executive, um… I’m tired.”
“That’s to be expected.”
With a sarcastic tone, an alert sound rang, and the mechanical door opened.
Gieon still didn’t show any interest in Seonyeong, gesturing the manager to go first.
Following the two, Gieon walked cautiously, surveying all sides of the quiet underground parking lot. He did this because there might be troublesome consequences if someone saw them.
Then, Gieon, who discovered something, stopped abruptly with a frowning expression.
One slipper that had come off Seonyeong’s foot was left in the middle of the underground parking lot.
“Phew.”
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.
