Jaeyo’s gaze froze coldly, and Chaeyoon quickly grabbed his arm.
“Oppa.”
Jaeyo’s coldly frozen eyes reacted.
He looked at Chaeyoon’s hand holding his arm and then made eye contact with her.
His irises were trembling lightly. It was a different tremor from the uncertainty he felt a moment ago due to Chaeyoon’s lie.
Sensing Chaeyoon’s anxiety in her eyes, Jaeyo softened his cold gaze and casually stretched his lips.
“Don’t say anything to Kyunghee.”
At that moment, the eyes that were trembling with anxiety came to a sudden stop.
Could he read her thoughts?
Finding it strange that Jaeyo directly picked up on what she was about to say, Chaeyoon blinked her big eyes and asked,
“Really, you won’t say anything?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
Jaeyo’s gaze, deeply staring into Chaeyoon’s eyes, roamed around her face.
“If I make a fuss about why I did that, Kyunghee will want to meet you more. If I say I’m crazy, she might even want it more.”
At his words, Chaeyoon’s guilt twinged again.
Feeling uncomfortable, she hugged Jaeyo’s neck and said,
“Sorry for lying.”
As she embraced him, Jaeyo’s eyes widened in surprise.
A beautiful smile adorned his lips as if appreciating her gesture, as if asking for forgiveness.
She even acted cute, begging for forgiveness.
With a single move, Chaeyoon made Jaeyo forget that she had lied and went to meet Kyunghee.
Focused on Chaeyoon’s new appearance, Jaeyo wore a highly satisfied expression. However, completely unaware of Jaeyo’s expression, Chaeyoon continued expressing her apologies with a voice full of regret.
“I… I thought it would be more comfortable for me than for you, so I secretly met her without telling you… I really didn’t expect her to come out like that.”
Jaeyo found it interesting how Chaeyoon was reacting and didn’t say anything.
But he couldn’t forget that she had taken a recording file from his phone, and Chaeyoon, feeling a bit desperate, continued her words.
“If… If I tell her not to meet you again because of this lie, she might want to meet you more. Should I tell her I’m crazy?”
At that, Chaeyoon’s guilt twisted once again.
Feeling uncomfortable, she hugged Jaeyo’s neck and said,
“Sorry for lying.”
As she embraced him, Jaeyo’s eyes widened in surprise.
A charming smile adorned his perfect lips as if appreciating her act as if asking for forgiveness.
She even begged for forgiveness by acting cute.
With a single gesture, Chaeyoon made Jaeyo forget that she had lied and went to meet Kyunghee.
Focused on Chaeyoon’s new appearance, Jaeyo wore a highly
As the words came to an end, the tears that had been gathering in Chaeyoon’s eyes fell with a thud.
From the moment Jaeyo saw Chaeyoon’s tears, the blinking speed of his bewildered eyes increased.
No matter how much he thought about it, Jaeyo couldn’t understand why Chaeyoon was crying. He raised his hand, wiped away Chaeyoon’s tears, and asked,
“Why are you crying?”
“…….”
“Chaeyoon.”
Hearing the earnest voice, Chaeyoon, suppressing her surging emotions, pursed her lips.
“Because I’m upset…”
“What happened?”
“I lied to you, met Kyunghee, and… nothing…”
Chaeyoon shook her head as if bearing a heavy burden of guilt.
The reason she reacted so strongly was because of what Jaeyo had said about trusting his abilities and the way he had shown himself.
[Because of you, it’s like this. You…]His emotions were overwhelming, unable to control them. His eyes, shining as if he would do anything she said, even protect her, had filled her heart with emotion.
If she had seen him so happy with her own eyes and felt it in her heart, she shouldn’t have lied. However, she only thought of one reason for revealing Kyunghee’s duplicity in front of her.
If she did, she should have obtained something worthy of that sparkling heart, which would have eased her disappointment.
There should have been something to rationalize, but all she got in her hands was ambiguous evidence.
It was so distressing that she couldn’t bear it. As she poured out her heart to Jaeyo, her emotions overwhelmed her, and tears poured out.
Chaeyoon bowed her head, and tears dripped down.
He must have been very disappointed in me. I knew I shouldn’t lie if I expected things to go my way. Why was I so sure things would work out as I wanted?
In the midst of regret, Jaeyo’s voice reached her.
“Oh, you lied, begged me not to get mad because you got nothing even though you lied, and even shut my mouth with tears.”
His playful tone made Chaeyoon’s tears stop.
“Wow, Song Chaeyoon is more innocent than I thought.”
Whether she was innocent or not, Chaeyoon, who had no intention of that, blinked her watery eyes and looked up.
“No, that’s not it…”
As Chaeyoon tried to refute, Jaeyo’s lips touched her forehead, gently wiping away the moisture on her cheek.
“You did well.”
With those words, Chaeyoon’s expression became awkward.
Jaeyo looked at her, as if he didn’t understand, and reached out to her cheek.
He gently wiped away the tears on Chaeyoon’s white cheek and said,
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
