With her small chin resting on his firm chest, Chaeyoon looked up at him.
“Is that okay?”
Her inquiring face was refreshing.
Watching her with a face that didn’t hide any grievances, Jaeo placed his hand on Chaeyoon’s cheek.
“Quietly, you never listen.”
“Is that something you’re saying to me?”
“Yeah. I told you not to think about me, but Song Chaeyoon, who only thinks about me even if she’s about to die, is saying that to me.”
He found the continuous complaints amusing.
Smiling playfully, Chaeyoon, with her lips curving up, said, “Whatever you thought, I wasn’t thinking about you; I was thinking about the company.”
Sighing, Jaeo, who was watching her in that manner, said, “Ah.”
“Even when you tell me not to think about you, you’re thinking about me. That’s what you’re like.”
She found something so amusing that she couldn’t stop laughing. Chaeyoon, who was gazing at him with a mischievous expression, said, “What did you misunderstand, oppa? I wasn’t thinking about you; I was thinking about the company.”
While looking at her, Jaeo sighed and said, “Ah.”
“Married couples are of one mind. I was just thinking about that.”
It became a habit to pour out complaints as if one would wear a nose ring on the nose or earrings on the ears.
Unable to resist Jaeo’s audacity, Chaeyoon, who was still laughing, loosened her arms around his waist and said, “If it bothers you, don’t say it. It’s not like I was thinking about you.”
“I won’t think about you if you don’t think about me.”
“You won’t listen even if you’re dying.”
A hearty laughter burst from plump lips.
The sound of laughter, like droplets falling, was pleasant to hear. Jaeo gently stroked Chaeyoon’s smooth cheek with his thumb and looked at her.
Then, as if unable to resist, he lowered his head to overlap their lips, but Chaeyoon’s hand pushed him away.
“Why.”
“What if employees come in like this?”
“It’s okay.”
Seeing Jaeo’s anxious eyes, Chaeyoon pulled up his lips like comforting and tried to cover his cute lips.
But Chaeyoon applied force to her hand and pushed him away as he approached.
A faint wrinkle formed between Jaeo’s eyebrows.
“I like doing anything for the first time with you.”
“We’ve done this outside for the first time, haven’t we?”
“But this is the first time here.”
“Well, that’s true, but…”
As Chaeyoon’s words trailed off, she stared silently at Jaeo.
In those eyes looking at her, there was no trace of trust towards herself.
Jaeo quickly understood what Chaeyoon was worried about and nodded his head.
“Got it. I’ll let go as soon as I hear a knock.”
Chaeyoon hesitated for a moment but soon lowered the hand that was pushing his chest.
As she did, Jaeo, who thought they would soon touch, let out a sigh mixed with a sigh of relief from his lips, which were burning.
Jaeo quickly bent down to taste Chaeyoon’s lips.
When his lips, which were eager to taste the sweet breath for a moment, were about to touch Chaeyoon’s lips.
Knock, knock.
The knocking sound echoed clearly in the room.
His thick eyebrows crumpled.
The gaze looking at the opening door was stern.
[Star Icon]The moment Chaeyoon and Jaeo were flirting and sitting at the table.
At that moment, Junwoong, who was in the home office without even leaving work, saw the confirmation article about the change of construction company.
The moment he saw it, his back tingled, and he shouted.
“What the hell is wrong with this guy!”
He didn’t know it would be decided so quickly, and above all, he never imagined that he would submit an article first.
He didn’t know about consultation. How can a guy who is a senior executive in a large company act so recklessly?
Even though he emphasized several times that he should inform him of the situation first and then submit the article, submitting the article without even waiting meant that his opinion was not needed.
Is there another guy who ignores this much?
Not even a brother, but how can he treat me, a father’s bastard, like this?
Feeling humiliated, Junwoong, if possible, wanted to call Jaeo and scold him severely.
But this thought only lasted for a moment, and he began to feel a headache thinking about how to deal with this situation.
Then, Ziiiiing [Dash], a long vibration sound stimulated Junwoong’s ears.
Confirming that the caller was Kyunghee, Junwoong sighed and answered the phone.
“Yeah.”
“Dash, is this Jaeo crazy?!”
“I knew he was someone who doesn’t consider the consequences, but I didn’t expect him to handle things so arbitrarily.”
Now that things have come to this, there was only one person who could resolve this situation.
His father, Chairman Han Ji-pil.
“Go to your father’s place right now.”
[Dash] Alright. You come quickly too.Understanding Junwoong’s intention, Kyunghee immediately hung up the phone, and Junwoong also left immediately.
His urgent steps toward Ji-pil’s house.
[Star Icon] [Dash] The power is off….A sigh leaked from Ho-yeon’s mouth at the announcement message coming through the phone.
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.”
