“Come here, Arin.”
At Eunseon’s words, Arin found a place between Taein and Eunseon.
“When will Ato come out?”
“Why, do you want to see Ato quickly?”
“Yeah. I’ll take care of Ato, just like Unnie took care of me. I’ll be incredibly good!”
Arin said confidently.
Eunseon embraced her two admirable daughters.
“Our lovely babies.”
Although she was a mother holding a baby, in Eunseon’s eyes, Taein was still a baby.
To provide solace to her daughter who had a tiring day, Eunseon sincerely wished for a moment of peace.
“I want to try cream risotto with enoki mushrooms.”
Taein expressed a desire for specific dishes, not seasonal fruits like watermelon, strawberries, or peaches.
Dishes like gimbap made with kim bugak or carpaccio with flounder. These were dishes that couldn’t be obtained immediately.
Exactly when Manager Min went home, at an ambitious hour when all the restaurants had closed, Taein’s appetite exploded.
“Where have I tasted that before?”
“I haven’t tried it. Just watching videos… I didn’t ask you to buy it; it was just a mutter.”
Perhaps thinking of the moment when Nokhyun had an accident while doing a food errand, Taein fell into contemplation and waved her hand.
One day, she woke up in the early morning and found Taein sitting in the kitchen, crying.
“Ato, who are you to make Mom so miserable?”
Wondering what was going on, Nokhyun approached quietly.
“Why do you keep saying you’re hungry? Can’t I sleep comfortably too?”
Taein, sadly crying, was eating a piece of bread.
So Nokhyun decided to learn cooking. Although she knew how to make simple dishes, to satisfy her wife, whose taste was picky, she had to learn.
Thus, at the recommendation of Director Yoon, she started attending a cooking academy.
There were only two male students, Director Yoon and Nokhyun, and all the rest were women.
“Director Yoon is excellent at networking. I’m getting married this year.”
Unlike Nokhyun, Director Yoon was more interested in things other than cooking.
“Director Yoon, focus on cooking.”
“Representative Kang should write carrots properly. Even if I cut with my left hand, it’s better than that.”
“Try cutting it with your left hand.”
Changing seats with Nokhyun, Director Yoon cut with her left hand.
Nokhyun’s forehead wrinkled when Director Yoon cut better than expected.
“…Why are you good at this?”
“Representative Kang. We’ve eaten together for years. Don’t you know I’m left-handed?”
After faking it, she sighed deeply, feeling hurt instead.
“Stop chattering and hurry up. Here, A team is the slowest. We’re last.”
Nokhyun and Director Yoon, two women in their 50s, were in the same A team.
At Jamie’s sarcastic remark, a flash of light crossed Nokhyun and Director Yoon’s eyes.
Last place?
The two had never experienced coming in last place in their lives. It was a life where they had always been the best.
“Representative Kang, let’s divide the roles.”
“We’ve already divided the roles. It’s Director Yoon who messed around.”
The two soon shut their mouths. It was a fight of pride. They, who could never lose, ignited their determination and moved their hands instead of mouths.
Even after three weeks of attending the academy, Nokhyun’s cooking skills didn’t seem to improve.
Even when she returned home, Nokhyun, stuck in her study, looked up cooking videos.
Taein was always asleep. Checking Taein’s face as she slept intermittently, she watched cooking videos and studied about pregnancy, childcare, and babies.
There was truly not enough time. The CEO couldn’t take childcare leave either.
No, why not? The CEO also has the right to take childcare leave.
Thinking about waking up in the early morning again and going to work, Nokhyun came up with an idea.
Hand over the management to her mother, Mora. Mora had once turned a failing department store into the top in the industry.
It should be fine if she leaves it for a while. It’s not like I’m completely letting go of the management.
With that in mind, Nokhyun quickly selected talents to assist Mora.
Well, if it doesn’t work out, I can find another business manager.
Initially, Nokhyun had moved with the intention of driving Sim Yuran, Kang Jiwoon, and her father out. It wasn’t necessary for her to manage it herself.
After finishing her studies, Nokhyun, with a tired body, moved to the bedroom.
However, Taein was sitting in front of the kitchen table, not in the bedroom.
“Kang Nokhyun, come here.”
As if she had eyes on the back of her head, Taein called Nokhyun without turning around, and at the same time, her two feet froze.
Taein called her by her full name. The moment Nokhyun recognized that fact, fear took over her body.
Without doing anything wrong, she felt guilty as if she had committed a big mistake.
“Why, why…? What were you doing instead of sleeping?”
“You worked overtime today, didn’t you?”
Caught red-handed.
Sensing it, Nokhyun wiped the cold sweat off her back of the hand.
As Nokhyun couldn’t move easily, Taein turned her head.
Seeing Taein’s face, Nokhyun was surprised and opened her mouth wide. Her face was wet with tears.
Nokhyun approached Taein and hugged her tightly.
“I’m sorry. Don’t cry, Taein. I was wrong.”
“What did you do wrong? Did you lie about working overtime? What have you been doing these days?”
Although she was furious, even though she wanted to scream loudly, Taein couldn’t do it, probably for fear that other family members would wake up.
“I was actually attending an academy. A cooking academy.”
Nokhyun took out her phone and showed the dishes she had made so far.
“What is this…? Is it a dish from hell?”
Looking at the miserable dishes, Taein chuckled. Although her crying had stopped, she still seemed skeptical.
“Because I wanted to make delicious food for you, and if I said it, you’d say it’s unnecessary.”
Putting down her phone, Taein hugged Nokhyun.
“I didn’t know anything about that, and I thought you were lying to me about working overtime, so I was going to kill you.”
With a lovely face, Taein uttered such harsh words.
“Does that make sense? How could I say that to you?”
Taein moved away from Nokhyun and gently touched her chin.
“Then, shall we take a look?”
“Huh?”
“Let me see what you learned at the academy.”
Taein smiled slyly, and cold sweat streamed down Nokhyun’s forehead.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
