The situation took an unexpected turn.
On the way back from the hospital, a flashy foreign car suddenly blocked Seolwon’s path.
Then, beyond the slowly descending window, the figure of a woman appeared.
Baeksara. The woman whom Heoyoungju always accompanied like a daughter-in-law instead of Seolwon.
Therefore, Seolwon was already familiar with her, and they had frequently encountered each other in reality.
With an eye-catching attire that could hurt the eyes, she smiled leisurely and immediately brought up the matter.
“Miss Min Seolwon. I heard your mother is in critical condition?”
“…How did you…”
“I can know everything. Your household affairs are no different from mine.”
Suppressing a faint discomfort, Seolwon stared at her intently.
Since she had overtly displayed an attitude as displeasing as Heoyoungju’s, it was not surprising that she had come to scratch at Seolwon’s insides.
And Seolwon was well aware that in such situations, the best response was not to react.
Nevertheless, Baeksara went straight to the point.
“Don’t you need money? Medical expenses must be quite substantial.”
If she seemed to be enjoying Seolwon’s current situation, could it be a misconception?
Regardless, as long as she was clearly not an ally, Seolwon firmly drew the line.
“It’s none of your concern.”
In response, Baeksara raised her sunglasses above her forehead and scrutinized Seolwon, seemingly tearing her apart.
As always, it was a gaze that gave the other person a feeling of contempt.
“Miss Min Seolwon. Shall we talk openly?”
In response, Baeksara pushed her sunglasses up her forehead and scrutinized Seolwon, as if tearing her apart.
As always, it was a gaze that gave the other person a feeling of contempt.
“Miss Min Seolwon. Shall we talk openly?”
“What do you mean?”
“Before you appeared, I was practically Kwanchae’s fiancee. You must be well aware of that, right?”
“…What are you trying to say?”
Now feeling that the conversation was taking an unusual turn, Seolwon became highly cautious.
Baeksara, while stroking the shining tip of her nails, stared at Seolwon in that way.
Her pupils were shining as brightly and distinctly as the cubic on her nails.
“Miss Min Seolwon, I know about your conditional marriage with Kwanchae.”
At the unexpected declaration, Seolwon’s heart sank.
“How did you…”
“There’s nothing surprising about it. Your mother personally told me. Although you’re separated now, isn’t it strange not to know after living together for so long?”
A bitter laugh appeared above her lips.
“Well, it’s not important how I found out. What’s more important is what we’ll do moving forward.”
“Moving forward… what do you mean?”
“Yes. I know that the contract marriage is about to end in a few days. Isn’t that right?”
It seemed she was already well aware of all the details.
Without confirming or denying, Baeksara smiled contentedly.
“Surely, you wouldn’t think of shamelessly extorting more money for your mother’s medical expenses amidst the end of the contract, right?”
“Ah…”
Now Seolwon finally grasped what she was trying to say.
Suddenly, she recalled three years ago, when she told Kwanchae that she didn’t need any compensation.
It was a sincere statement. There was no desire for monetary rewards.
As if intentionally provoking such feelings within Seolwon, Baeksara sharply interrogated her.
“Even if you’re shameless enough to have no relationship at all, naturally, you wouldn’t have any intention of continuously keeping your mother in that hospital, right? Even if Chaeha says so, it goes against human conscience.”
“I… even after the contract period ends, Chaeha promised to continue treating my mother.”
However, in such a dire situation, would that promise still be valid?
No, was that promise valid from the beginning in the current circumstances?
The shadow of anxiety quickly spread from within Seolwon to the outside.
On the contrary, a smile was forming on Baeksara’s face.
“Don’t worry. I didn’t come to chase away Miss Min Seolwon’s mother.”
“What?”
“I came to make a good proposal to you.”
“A good… proposal?”
“Yes. I will save your mother for you.”
At the incomprehensible words, Seolwon was dumbfounded.
Save her mother? Even Director Sim had advised to prepare for her mother’s departure… How could Baeksara possibly…?
Without much time to ponder, Baeksara quickly seized the opportunity to penetrate Seolwon’s guard.
It was indeed a proposal that could not help but be intriguing.
“I have a friend who is well-versed in rare diseases among the doctors I’m close to. They’ve been abroad for a long time but briefly returned to perform several important VIP surgeries. They mainly dealt with immunological conditions like your mother’s.”
“Immunological conditions…”
“Yes. If Miss Min Seolwon accepts my proposal, I can specifically ask that doctor to perform surgery on your mother.”
“But our mother is not in a condition to undergo surgery…”
“So, are you just going to let her die like that?”
Seolwon’s words got stuck in her throat.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
