The passage translates into English as follows:
The ‘camping’ breakthrough proposed by Director Jeong was certainly effective.
It not only brought a new phase to the stagnant past investigation, but most notably, it changed the relationship between the two.
The forest of fireflies, enchantingly romantic.
After Seolwon finally confessed to remembering him, a mere glance into each other’s eyes made their hearts beat fiercely.
Although he hadn’t yet agreed to stay by her side, at least Chae was no longer as anxious as before.
That night, they felt deep sincerity in their shared kiss.
In the last week of July, under the scorching heat of midsummer.
Yipse Children’s Kindergarten also started its summer vacation.
Uju, who had been bustling around with friends, was now awkwardly adapting to the unfamiliar boredom.
“Our little one, waking up early even during vacation. Truly admirable. Such a good child.”
“Is Uju good?”
“Of course. The kindest, prettiest, and cutest in the world.”
Following Chae out to see her off, Seolwon couldn’t help but laugh at the father-son conversation.
Uju was firmly learning from his dad, who excessively praised every little thing.
Seolwon was aware of the importance of praise for children, but thought it was somewhat excessive.
Whether eating a lot, drinking lots of water, sleeping early, or late.
Almost every action of Uju was within Chae’s range of praise.
His parenting style had significantly boosted Uju’s confidence.
Uju, with his bright face, clung to his thigh, wanting to play.
Seolwon tried to gently refuse.
“Uju, Big Daddy has to go to work. You need to let go, right?”
“Work? Doesn’t Big Daddy have vacation?”
“Little one, adults don’t have vacations like that. We need to work to earn your candy money.”
“Uh-huh~.”
Though he answered, Uju tilted his head in confusion.
Then, as if struck by a great idea, his eyes sparkled, and he looked up at Chae.
“Big Daddy! Can Uju go to work with you?”
“Huh?”
“Uju. Daddy is… I mean, Big Daddy is…….”
Seolwon, flustered, tried to dissuade him, but Chae interrupted her first, wanting to hear Uju’s adorable plan.
“Keep talking. Little one. Do you want to go to the office?”
Seolwon shook her head, thinking she might as well offer him a vice president position at this rate.
She felt she should later subtly suggest that being too lenient isn’t good either.
Unaware of her concerns, Uju, buoyed by confidence, nodded vigorously.
“Yes! Uju wants to work with Big Daddy too~.”
“Oh? Our little one wants to work?”
“Uju will earn candy money too~.”
“You hear that? Our little one is so admirable.”
“……There’s no need to listen to everything. He’s just bored and pestering. Uju, come here. Let’s play with mommy.”
“No.”
Chae firmly cut her off and lifted Uju.
“How can I ignore our little one’s request? Then, shall we get ready and go to work with Big Daddy?”
“Yes! Uju is going to work too~.”
“What? Together to work? But that’s……”
Seolwon’s face grew darker, in contrast to Uju’s brightening mood.
She knew well how Chae was referred to in the company: the Crown Prince, the Cold-blooded, the Ice Man, etc.
If Chae suddenly took a child to work, they were sure to become the talk of the town.
But now, the father-son duo was not easy to handle.
Before Seolwon could further object, Chae lazily lifted the corners of his mouth.
“If you’re worried, why not come along?”
“……What?”
“Anyway, you don’t have much to do during Uju’s vacation.”
“Well, that’s true but…”
“Regardless of what you say, I’m going with the little one. Choose. Either stay at home and have a pitiful day or come to the office and play with Uju.”
“Pitiful, you say.”
Seolwon subtly rolled her eyes.
It was clear he had indulged Uju’s whims just to involve her.
Still, the office wasn’t a playground, and she was hesitant about whether it was really okay to go.
The English translation of the passage is as follows:
Chae, observing her expression with a lazy gaze, strode forward while holding Uju in his arms.
“Min Seolwon. You seem to forget, you are the young lady of Chaeun Family. You have every right to go.”
“Ah…….”
“Let’s see. I’ll give you just ten minutes. You’re pretty even without makeup, so just get ready quickly and come out.”
“Stop saying things like that.”
“What should I say if you’re pretty? Kiddo, isn’t mom pretty?”
“Yes! Our mom is a princess! The prettiest in the world~.”
With a ‘see?’ expression, Chae wiggled one eyebrow.
Eventually, Seolwon surrendered to his increasingly strong teasing.
[Star Icon]Though she was the daughter-in-law and young lady of the Chaeun Family, it was Seolwon’s first time visiting the Chaeun Group headquarters.
Perhaps because of this, she felt awkward and hesitant.
On the other hand, as soon as Uju entered the grand, tall building, he kept exclaiming ‘amazing!’ and was busy looking around in awe.
Despite coming reluctantly, Seolwon was embarrassed by the gazes following her and started to sweat.
However, Uju seemed to interpret those gazes differently.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
