Jin-gyo was very displeased with Seong-hyuk’s accompaniment.
“It’s like… to thank SL Entertainment for using their artist as a model for the advertisement…”
“Are you embarrassed even saying it?”
“Yes…”
Young-in avoided his gaze, feeling more embarrassed than ever.
“If it were someone else’s meeting, he wouldn’t have insisted on coming, right?”
“…”
Her silence was a tacit agreement.
“I don’t feel too bad about it.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means he’s worried about me. He feels a sense of crisis that you might steal me away.”
“…”
Young-in just moved her lips a few times before falling silent.
They stepped out of the elevator into the parking lot. Expecting to see the van, they were surprised to find a luxury SUV instead.
Recognizing the car, Young-in momentarily paused. Jin-gyo realized it was Seong-hyuk’s car as he stepped out.
Seong-hyuk approached them and said to Jin-gyo,
“Let’s take my car.”
Before Jin-gyo could respond, Young-in interjected.
“I’ve already asked our field manager to take us.”
Seong-hyuk pressed down on Young-in’s hand, which was reaching for her phone.
“I sent them away. We’re taking my car.”
“Then I’ll drive.”
“Not now.”
“…”
As Young-in wondered when he meant, Jin-gyo spoke up.
“The president is offering to drive us personally. Let’s accept his kindness.”
With Jin-gyo’s endorsement, Young-in couldn’t resist any longer.
“Okay…”
Jin-gyo opened the back door after seeing Seong-hyuk’s nod. He then looked at Young-in.
“Should I sit in the back?”
Young-in glanced between the back seat and the passenger seat, prompting Seong-hyuk to frown.
“What are you hesitating for? Sit next to me. Am I a chauffeur?”
Seo Jin-gyo and Chae Young-in were not intended to sit together in the back seat of his car.
“Despite saying there’s no need to hide anymore, you’re really not hiding it.”
Jin-gyo’s tone was unmistakably sarcastic.
“In front of someone who knows everything about Young-in and me, pretending to be just a boss and subordinate would be more disgusting.”
“I’d rather feel disgusted watching you unilaterally pushing yourself than feel uncomfortable.”
“I have no intention of catering to Seo Jin-gyo’s tastes.”
Unable to watch the two men exchange sharp words with smiling faces, Young-in intervened.
“We’ll be late. Let’s go.”
She gently pushed Seong-hyuk, who was standing by the passenger seat, and got in herself.
Seong-hyuk walked to the driver’s seat with a satisfied smile, while Jin-gyo climbed into the back seat, feeling odd despite technically sitting in the seat of honor.
In the elevator heading to the Chinese restaurant, Young-in briefed Seong-hyuk with useful information.
“Director Go Mi-hyun is the chairman’s daughter. She was promoted from head of business strategy last month. She’s very kind to people she likes but is known to be ruthless with others, so please keep that in mind.”
“Alright, I’ll remember that.”
She had softened the description to ‘ruthless,’ but the reputation was that she was peculiar and rude. Young-in was concerned about a potential clash with Seong-hyuk’s strong personality.
Jin-gyo was not worried at all. Not only because Director Go was his ardent fan, but also because he knew how to bend and match the atmosphere, unlike Seong-hyuk.
They entered the room guided by an employee.
The woman sitting between the two men stood up.
Director Go Mi-hyun didn’t glance at Seong-hyuk or Young-in but smiled brightly at Jin-gyo.
Seong-hyuk used the information Young-in had given him right then.
“Director Go Mi-hyun, congratulations on your promotion.”
Her gaze shifted to Seong-hyuk, and after a moment, her eyes widened in recognition.
“Seong-hyuk oppa?”
Seong-hyuk nodded with a grin, and Mi-hyun left her table to approach him, her smile even brighter than when she saw Jin-gyo.
“I heard you joined entertainment, but this is unexpected. I’ve missed you, oppa.”
Ironically, Jin-gyo turned out to be the one out of place.
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.
