His fingertips began tapping on the phone screen, tap, tap.
[Oppa, can I skip the meeting tonight?] [Why.] [Eunha unnie suggested having dinner.]An unexpected promise…
[A promise? What promise?] [A promise I can’t refuse.]She remembered the first time she suggested having dinner with Chaeyoon and then canceled.
Jaeyo’s eyes sharpened suddenly.
He said to Woojong, who was beside him, “Find out where Woohyun is right now.”
[Star icon]Leaving the room with Chaeyoon, Kyunghee, as soon as she got in the car, immediately called Hoyeon.
The call was disconnected as if to say, “I waited.”
[Dash] Oh, mother. Now you call me.At Hoyeon’s cheeky voice, Kyunghee’s lips grew cold.
“Why did you do that?”
“That man.”
[Dash] That man? Who are you talking about?Sarcasm spread across Kyunghee’s lips.
[Dash] Are you trying to blame me?Hearing Kyunghee’s strong tone, Hoyeon snorted.
[When asked about that accident, what would you say if I said it was ordered by Miss Woohyun.]Song Chaeyoon didn’t know what the man’s response would be, but it was clear that Kyunghee would suffer some damage from this.
‘Taeil’s position should narrow down towards me.’
Upon closer inspection, she was the only one suffering losses.
She never got to spend time with Jaeyo, missed the opportunity for the TK Tower construction, and, in the meantime, the relationship between Song Chaeyoon and Jaeyo was getting better day by day. During all this, there was no contact from Kyunghee.
If Kyunghee let go of her hand here, Hoyeon knew she would be in a worse situation than a dog chasing a chicken.
Therefore, thinking about how to hold onto Kyunghee a little longer, a suitable opportunity came naturally.
Hoyeon responded to the man’s question with a face that seemed to say, ‘Now is the time.’
[She says it was done under Woohyun’s orders.] And as the results were quite satisfactory, Hoyeon didn’t care how cold Kyunghee’s voice was. [Dash] Stop the nonsense and tell me the plan.“Oh, seems like something urgent came up?”
[Dash] I’m not in a good mood right now, so don’t poke me even more.It was an unusual tone from Kyunghee, who was always kind and polite.
‘Has that young one done something impressive?’
I don’t know what conversation went on between them, but considering this much, it seems unnecessary to worry about Kyunghee letting go.
With a smirk on his lips, Hoyeon replied.
[Dash] Yes. Then understand it as if I continue to help, and I’ll contact you soon. Please make sure to answer.With a voice satisfied with the situation, the call ended.
Kyunghee sighed, furrowing her brow.
“Ugh…….”
[I don’t intend to overlook this matter.] [I’m going to tell Grandfather.]Even without a recording file, if it was in writing, Kyunghee wouldn’t just gloss over Chaeyoon’s words.
She might secretly order an investigation, and in the process, there was a high chance of finding out about the deal with Hoyeon.
‘What should I do about Song Chaeyoon…’
How can I definitively stop Chaeyoon’s mouth? In contemplation of this, a long vibrating sound reached her ears.
Kyunghee’s gaze turned to the phone.
“Father.”
Perhaps surprised by the conversation she had with Chaeyoon, Kyunghee answered the call with a start.
“Yes, Father.”
[Dash] Oh, it’s me. Where are you now?“I’m outside, but I’m on my way into the house.”
[Dash] Really? Then drop by for a moment.Just when he asked her to come over at this timing, a strange sense of unease crept up.
‘Is Song Chaeyoon turning her back in the meantime?’
There wasn’t enough time to say that.
The conversation they had earlier wasn’t something to be discussed over the phone.
Thinking that Kyunghee called her not for the Chaeyoon incident but for something else, Hoyeon calmly responded.
“Yes. I’ll be there soon.”
A little while later.
Arriving at Jipil’s house, Kyunghee noticed Jungwoong’s car parked in front of the gate.
‘What’s this guy’s car doing here?’
It didn’t seem like she was the only one called.
If that’s the case, why did they call together? Pondering the reason, she walked through the garden and found herself in front of the entrance.
Adjusting her expression at the entrance, Kyunghee, with a smile on her lips, entered the house.
In the spacious and long hallway, she reached the living room where Jipil and Jungwoong were.
Kyunghee approached Jipil with a raised corner of her mouth.
“Father, I’m here.”
“Oh. Yeah. You came earlier than I thought.”
“Yes. But did you also call Iido?”
“Oh. I gathered everyone because I have something to say.”
Gathered everyone?
In other words, it meant they also called Jaeyo.
A chilling sensation rose up her spine.
With a worried look, Kyunghee looked at Jipil, who checked the time and muttered.
“But, this guy said he would come soon, so why hasn’t he arrived yet?”
The fact that Jaeyo is coming here has become clear.
For some reason, a ominous premonition brushes through my mind, and from the front entrance, footsteps can be heard.
“Mr. Han Sangmu has arrived.”
Upon hearing that Jaeyo has come, Jipil took a sip from the tea in front of him.
Kyunghee keenly observed Jipil’s demeanor.
In the meantime, Jaeyo arrived in the living room.
Seeing Jaeyo sitting across from Jungwoong, Jipil licked his lips and said.
“You said you were nearby, but you’re the latest. How come? But, where is Chaeyoon?”
Jaeyo responded with an indifferent face.
“She has an appointment.”
At the mention of Chaeyoon’s name and the word “appointment,” Kyunghee’s nerves tensed.
Kyunghee, whose mouth began to dry, moistened it with the tea in front of her.
“But, why did you call me?”
In response to Jaeyo’s question, Jipil, lowering the teacup he was holding, said.
“I’m thinking of stepping down from the chairman position soon.”
The eyes of Kyunghee and Jungwoong simultaneously widened.
With the surprised gazes, Jipil, who had attracted attention, added while looking at Jungwoong and Kyunghee alternately.
“I’m considering Jaeyo as the next chairman. What do you think?”
The ominous premonition hit the mark.
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.
