“Are you okay? Are you alright?”
The desperate inquiry in his eyes seemed to see nothing but Seol Won.
“…I’m okay.”
Only when she barely managed a response, did life return to Chae Ha’s eyes.
As if confirming she was alive, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
The strength slowly slipped from his hand, which had been gripping her arm.
“Miss Seol Won! What’s wrong?”
The surprised mother of the twins quickly swam towards them.
Everyone on the sandy beach was standing, looking at the two of them.
Concerned about alarming the children, Seol Won patted Chae Ha’s wet arm to indicate her intention to leave.
“…Thank goodness.”
Chae Ha, muttering low enough for only her to hear, gripped Seol Won’s hand tightly this time.
Then he took the lead and walked out of the water.
Unable to resist his firm action, Seol Won walked, looking at his back, hand in his.
The waves lapping at her legs told her.
The reason for his just demonstrated behavior.
Perhaps he must have believed that Seol Won really fell from the breakwater and had an accident.
If it wasn’t an overreaction, there was no other explanation.
Kwon Chae Ha seemed to have developed a sort of trauma.
For some reason, she wanted to say thank you and sorry.
But nothing seemed appropriate at the moment.
So Seol Won substituted it by tightly holding Chae Ha’s hand.
“Mum, are you okay?”
“Yeah. Uju, mum didn’t get hurt. Mum also played in the water like Uju~.”
Seeing Uju sticking to her side, Seol Won smiled reassuringly.
Each of the three triplets sitting around them also added a word for their little brother.
“Uju’s dad went to save her. He was like a prince!”
“Yeah, Uju. You’re lucky to have such a great dad!”
“I see why he’s the Great King Dad!”
“Hey, kids. Your real dad feels hurt. I’m working hard to grill meat for you all~ Why don’t you call me a great dad?”
As Director Jeong grumbled, the twins’ mother smacked his back, signaling him to grill more meat.
As the sun was setting, they were enjoying a barbecue party, the highlight of camping.
“Yeah. Spring sister, Summer sister, Autumn sister! Great King Dad is the best.”
Thanks to the children misunderstanding the origin of Great King Dad, Uju naturally moved on.
With four children, there was no time for silence.
Moreover, Director Jeong was an experienced camper, so he was really good at grilling meat.
“It’s delicious. You grill really well.”
When Seol Won gave him a sincere compliment, Director Jeong smiled as he wiped his sweat.
“It’s all the meat our Deputy Manager bought. All premium products….”
“Don’t call me Deputy Manager.”
“Why should we call the vice president anything other than the vice president?”
“Um, well……”
Chae Ha hesitated for a moment.
Then, the perceptive twin’s mother swiftly intervened.
“The Emperor of the Universe Daddy, right? We call him Emperor of the Universe Daddy. Honey.”
“Oh~ So that’s what you meant! Ha ha ha. Let’s do that.”
In fact, he probably wanted to be called just ‘Universe Daddy’, but it seemed Chae Ha couldn’t quite bring himself to do that.
With a regretful nod, he cut wellcooked meat into a suitable size and put it into the Universe’s mouth.
The sight of Universe, who was swallowing the meat like a baby bird, was so lovely that a smile naturally spread on Seol Won’s face.
At that moment, she felt a warm sensation on her lips.
“……?”
“Here, this one’s for you.”
“Ah…… Thank you.”
The Jeong family was watching Chae Ha feeding Seol Won like they were watching a scene from a drama, and they looked pleased.
It was a bit embarrassing, but for Seol Won, who was experiencing a camping night for the first time, even trivial things were exciting.
“Mom. Where is Universe’s strawberry candy?”
Towards the end of the barbecue, Universe suddenly asked Seol Won.
It seemed to be the candy that was in the snack package that Huh Young Ju casually hugged and took away last time.
“The strawberry candy is in the tent. Why? Universe, do you want to eat it now?”
“Yes! I want to share it with my sisters~.”
“Then mom will get it for you.”
To fulfill Universe’s cute wish, Seol Won quickly stood up from her seat.
Then, quite naturally, Chae Ha also stood up.
“Let’s go together.”
“Pardon?”
“It’s already dark. It’s dangerous for you to go to the tent alone.”
“……”
Seol Won alternated between looking at the Director Jeong and his wife, who were oddly smirking in front of her, and the tent, which was no more than twenty steps away.
The distance was hardly what one would describe as dangerous.
However, considering what happened earlier, Seol Won simply nodded.
“Universe. Mom and ah…… the Emperor Daddy, will get the candy.”
“Okay!”
“Take care.”
As they went to get the candy, Director Jeong and his wife kept chuckling as they watched them.
Finally, when the two disappeared into the darkness, the twins’ mom playfully poked her husband in the ribs.
“What on earth are you doing?”
“What do you mean out of the blue? Are you upset with your hardworking husband who grilled the meat?”
The twins’ mom whispered so that the children wouldn’t hear.
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.
