Cleaning? What does that mean?
Kwon Jae Ha often. No, frequently makes statements that only he understands.
Naturally, this confuses the people around him, especially those who have to assist him.
The gaze of Secretary Kang, who was holding the steering wheel, wavered slightly with unease.
Stealing a glance, he examined the taciturn figure of his boss through the rearview mirror.
He said he would wear a topoftheline suit worth 6 million won to go cleaning.
Indeed, it was suspicious.
“……”
Secretary Kang had a long phone conversation with Lee Yeon Kyung yesterday.
[What’s the matter, we just met the day before. What else are you curious about?]
She initially answered the phone listlessly, but her tone changed at the mention of ‘the woman of secrets’.
Even over the phone, one could sense her eyes sparkling.
The woman of secrets naturally referred to Kwon Jae Ha’s woman.
Lee Yeon Kyung sometimes used the unfathomable expression ‘unique and unparalleled’.
But even the closest associates could only speculate about her real identity and the nature of her relationship with Jae Ha, making her an extremely secretive entity.
[I know too, about Eun Jo. But how did you know?]
[I had some idea from the US. But I’m curious about what’s happened since coming to Seoul. I feel like something is slowly approaching. Whether that’s good or bad, I have no idea. You know something, don’t you? No?]
[Eddie, have you developed good intuition from being around Kwon Jae Ha for so long? Impressive.]
[Isn’t it? I thought there might be something that I don’t know, but you do!]
[Hmm… I’m not sure.]
[Are you hesitating now? Why? Because of who? Tell me what you know right now.]
[Edward Kang, even if you are the formidable Chief of Staff, do you need to know all about Kwon Jae Ha’s personal life? That’s not right.]
[No! This is just a human interest, apart from the official business, it’s personal. But well, the boundary between personal and official has been blurry for a long time between my boss and me.]
[Enough, Eddie. I know, it’s clearly a delusion of yours. Not distinctly distinguishing between work and personal relationships is not a good idea…]
[That’s what I’m saying! How far along are things with the woman of secrets, the unique and unparalleled Eun Jo? Jae Ha, no the boss, is totally smitten! Hopelessly smitten. You just can’t see it because you haven’t seen her eyes.]
[Hmmm… as expected.]
[Lee Yeon Kyung!]
[To Kwon Jae Ha, she is, in a word extremely pretty, very pretty, a very, very beautiful woman.]
[What does that mean?]
[In fact, he had a room prepared for her before meeting you.]
[What? A room? Where?]
[Where else? In his house. He asked for a separate room to be decorated. Not just furniture and decoration, he even requested the best underwear to be prepared but it wasn’t Natalie’s size.]
[What! That means they’re living together! Why are you just telling me this now!]
[By the way I really want to meet Eun Jo again soon. I’m so curious about what kind of person she is.]
[Lee Yeon Kyung, you should be careful. You know I’ve seen it for a long time. If it’s about the woman of secrets, sharp blades spring from my boss’s body. Understand?]
[Ha! The problem is that they’re stabbing me from the inside out. Don’t you know?]
[Yeon Kyung, wow your expression… blades stabbing you from the inside out…]
[But why do you keep saying Yeon Kyung Yeon Kyung? Am I your Yeon Kyung? How many times do I have to tell you to call me sister?]
[……]
[Did you hear that? Eddie, did you hear me!]
[I’ll call you sister. Let’s date.]
[Nyah!!!]
So last night he had been quite excited about his boss’s order.
Being told to bring clothes home was not something to be excited about, but there were already rumors from Yeon Kyung.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but wonder…
The moment I saw his face coming out of the front door, I was sweating to maintain my composure.
He really. Came. To. The house. Amazing.
When I was in New York, Secretary Kang had reported twice to Jae Ha about her identity.
Kwon Jae Ha, known to everyone, was trapped in his own pain without reason or purpose.
The night he was drunk, wandering aimlessly, having lost himself.
Eventually, words came out of his mouth to find out about Eun Jo in Seoul.
He wanted to know if she was eating and living well.
Whether it was an order or a request was ambiguous, and there was no explanation of what exactly he was curious about.
But one thing was clear: the look in the man’s eyes as he mentioned the woman’s name was pathetically desperate.
And seeing Jae Ha’s reaction to the news about her, Secretary Kang understood exactly.
What had imprisoned the Kwon Jae Ha, who was known to be strong and arrogant, was.
Love and hatred. Or regret and resentment.
Or rather, it was a pit of despair where all of those emotions were tangled in a mess.
“……That’s impressive.”
Eun Jo, she, in a nutshell,
Was the only person who had turned Kwon Jae Ha into an utter fool.
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.”
