Holding out his hand, Jaeo led Chaeyoon to his car. It was only then that Chaeyoon noticed other employees.
“Oh? There are people.”
“Really?”
Upon Jaeo’s indifferent response, Chaeyoon focused her gaze on the employees gathered for a conversation.
Somewhat familiar, they were former team members from Taeyil Chemicals, where Chaeyoon worked before joining Jaeo’s secretariat.
Curiosity about why they had come here faded as soon as she looked at Director Jung.
Though his expression was not clear from a distance, there was something astonishing about the way he looked, which could be sensed.
‘Why is he acting like that?’
Questions arose.
‘Maybe… did he see us holding hands?’
It seemed likely, but before Chaeyoon could dwell on that thought, Jaeo’s voice reached her.
“Why are you looking like that?”
“Oh, I saw some people I used to work with.”
After a brief nod of acknowledgment, Jaeo pressed the accelerator.
As Chaeyoon quietly observed Jaeo driving, there was a suspicious glint in her eyes.
‘Even this morning…’
Until now, he had been acting strangely.
While Chaeyoon was lost in thought, the car left the parking lot.
Unable to take her eyes off Jaeo, Chaeyoon casually opened her mouth.
“I have something I’m curious about.”
“What is it?”
“Why did you say it’s not your job, the TK Tower project? It looks like you have someone experienced handling the practical aspects. Is there a reason for that?”
Jaeo, who had been watching the road ahead, moved his eyes to look at Chaeyoon.
“Experienced?”
“Yes, experienced.”
“….”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Perhaps it was because of the word “relationship” that came out of Chaeyoon’s mouth, but until now, the recognition that Chaeyoon was his wife hadn’t been particularly significant.
However, upon hearing that address, the feeling that they were married became more tangible.
Jaeo’s smile rose unknowingly.
“Have you been curious like that since earlier?”
Although Chaeyoon didn’t understand what he meant, since she was curious, she nodded quickly.
“Why are you so curious about that?”
There was one fundamental reason why the TK Tower project had been bothering him.
“It’s because of that woman who came by… the one working with you, from that family.”
The woman Chaeyoon first saw beside Jaeo. Kwon Hoyeon.
Jaeo had said that, except for the three friends he was currently close to, he didn’t remember any faces from his school days. However, in Chaeyoon’s heart, the shadow of that woman still remained.

Jaeo.
The fact that a woman who wasn’t in Jaeo’s memory affectionately called him by name was not pleasant.
But since there seemed to be no more entanglements, Chaeyoon didn’t deeply inquire about it. However, the person in charge of the TK Tower project had been changed to Jaeo. The construction company for the tower was Jo Yeong Construction.
Moreover, today, the world was in an uproar due to the Taeyil Group assault case and the irregularities of the TK Tower construction company.
If this level of issue arises, not only the secretary’s office but also Jaeo should be busy and mentally occupied, but he was no different from usual. The atmosphere in the secretary’s office was the same.
Somehow, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was going on.
That’s why I asked about the tower business, but instead of an answer, Jaeo reached out his hand.
“…….”
Chaeyoon, not knowing what Jaeo wanted, just stared blankly at the hand he extended.
“Grab it.”
It was only then that Chaeyoon, understanding the meaning, lifted her hand and placed it on top of Jaeo’s hand.
With slender fingers, Jaeo, who had placed my finger between them and folded it, began to talk about the things Chaeyoon was curious about.
“That woman left your house, and about a month later, we met in a certain place.”
“…….”
“I’ve never seen her before in my life, but she acted like she knew me very well. She said she was a high school classmate.”
“…….”
“Whether I liked it or not, I didn’t pay much attention, but since you were promoted to the executive office, my father said the tower construction company changed to Joyoung Construction.”
In an instant, Chaeyoon’s heart cooled.
The conversation with Kyunghui after the personnel order, which I had with Kyunghui after the personnel order, flashed through my mind.
“And then she told me to take charge of the tower business. The chairman of Joyoung Group likes me.”
With the following words, Chaeyoon bit her lip and closed her eyes.
The situation unfolded in her mind.
The conversation she had with Jaeo after breaking the promise and going to meet Kyunghui was the starting point.
“You really thinking of getting a divorce?”
“…Yes.”
With her own answer about getting a divorce, Kyunghui decided to connect him with that woman.
“I also wondered if there were any emotions between you and Jaeo.”
“No. It’s not like that.”
With the answer that there was no progress with Jaeo, Joengwoong decided to hand over the TK Tower business to Jaeo after the divorce. It meant to get along well with that woman.
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.
