In Ho-yeon’s confident voice, Kyunghi nodded slightly and continued with another question.
[Dash] Then, what about the possibility that Jaeyo could know that the man intentionally caused the accident, without Chaeyoon knowing?The only ones who knew the man’s face were Jaeyo and Chaeyoon.
At that time, there was no secretary for Jaeyo at the restaurant, and right after the accident, the man was sent overseas, so Hoyeon didn’t hesitate to answer.
[Dash] Unless Song Chaeyoon says so, it’s impossible to know.“Are you sure that only the man and Song Chaeyoon met?”
[Dash] Yes.With Hoyeon’s firm answer, Jipil’s suspicion that he might have heard the man’s voice file diminished.
[Dash] But seeing you keep asking about this, it seems you’re quite bothered by what the man said?Kyunghi’s eyebrow tips sharply rose at Hoyeon’s voice, which seemed to indicate that her intentions had worked.
Unhappy with Kyunghi’s intentions being fulfilled, she twisted her raised eyebrows as she spoke.
“I’m feeling bothered, and there’s nothing good about Team Leader Kwon being bothered, so let’s stop here.”
With a chilly tone, Kyunghi conveyed her displeasure without bothering to listen to Hoyeon’s response and immediately hung up the phone.
Although she ended the call with irritation, the content seemed to please her, and Kyunghi’s frowned expression quickly eased.
Feeling a bit uneasy about why Jipil acted that way, Kyunghi began to think about how to ruin Jaeyo’s temporary chairmanship.
[Star Icon]Saturday lunch.
The gaze from Chaeyoon, sitting in the passenger seat of Jaeyo’s car, is sharp.
“Oh, why do you keep…”
As Chaeyoon narrowed her eyes and stared at Jaeyo with intensity, a bright smile appeared on his lips.
“Okay, okay. I won’t tease you anymore. Promise.”
Even though he said that, he had already teased her twice more, so Chaeyoon’s gaze remained hostile.
“Do you believe I’m going to meet your grandfather?”
“…”
“I believe you.”
Not believing seemed strange.
She had informed Jipil that she was going to meet him, and the place she was heading to was Jipil’s house. How could she deviate from this path?
But even after repeatedly saying that, Chaeyoon, who was being accused of lying, felt like she was going to lose her mind.
The beginning of the incident was during the conversation they had while having breakfast this morning.
[What if I don’t go with my brother today and go to my grandfather’s house alone?]She didn’t realize it when she said it, but when she spat it out, it sounded similar to what she had said when she lied to him, so Chaeyoon quickly added more words.
[Uh… So, really, I’m going to visit my grandfather.] [If you’re going, why are you scratching your foot alone? Are you lying again, by any chance?] [No?] [You seem embarrassed, so it’s true, right?] [Ah, no.]That’s when it started.
[Are you doing this, and then secretly going somewhere else without me knowing?]No matter how many times she said no, it was useless.
His face, smiling as if it were fun, was mocking. Chaeyoon wanted to retort, but given what she had done, she couldn’t do that, so she felt frustrated just before turning around.
Seeing Chaeyoon, who was annoyed and acting all high and mighty, Jaeyo turned his body towards her when the car stopped at a traffic signal.
He lightly stroked her cheek with a horn protruding from her face and said, “You look cute when you’re getting all flustered. So go ahead and let out your anger, okay?”
“…”
“Okay. If such a situation happens again, I’ll tease you only three times and stop.”
At Jaeyo’s words, Chaeyoon exhaled as if she couldn’t believe it.
It wasn’t that he wouldn’t tease her, and declaring that he would tease her and even specifying the number was absurd.
Moreover, the face that determined that specific number was shameless.
“Only three times, not even once?”
“Oh, is once okay? Then once.”
The face determining the number was shamelessly nonchalant.
“There’s no option not to tease you?”
“Well, then I won’t be able to see you in this state, right?”
The smirking upturned corner of his mouth was provocative. However, his eyes, gracefully curving and pleasing to look at, were infinitely tender, causing Chaeyoon to feel her irritation rapidly fading away.
“You seem to have cooled down.”
“No, not really.”
“Well, it’s written all over your face.”
Jaeyo, who had been looking at her face like a mirror of the heart, where affection was oozing out, pushed his head slightly toward Chaeyoon and said, “A kiss to celebrate the release of your anger.”
Although the annoyance had completely disappeared, Chaeyoon hesitated, feeling a bit unjust about what had happened so far. His lips touched hers before she could decide whether to accept or refuse.
Softly, he initiated the kiss and then said, “Thank you.”
A small laugh escaped from Chaeyoon’s lips in response to the cheerful greeting. With annoyance gone and only laughter emerging, his car soon parked in front of Jipil’s house.
“I’ll come back as soon as the meeting is over.”
“Yeah, got it. Drive safely.”
Jaeyo nodded and touched his lips with his hand.
Understanding the meaning of wanting a kiss, Chaeyoon briefly met his lips with hers, then got out of the car. She only took her foot off the car after Jaeyo’s car was no longer in sight.
Approaching the entrance, she pressed the bell, and as if waiting, the door opened.
As soon as she entered, the garden in front of her was filled with a green light.
[Shall we get divorced?]It felt like she had just told him about divorce yesterday, but the seasons were already changing.
Reflecting on what had happened during that time, a smile appeared on Chaeyoon’s lips.
People never know what will happen next. Who would have thought that the relationship that seemed to end so easily would continue like this?
Feeling a surge of emotion, Chaeyoon walked slowly, savoring the path she had walked alone when she left and walked with Jaeyo when she entered.
Before she knew it, she arrived at the entrance.
Standing in front of it, Chaeyoon vividly recalled her purpose for coming here.
[If you knew that… Jaeyo wouldn’t be by your side right now.]After finishing her thoughts, Chaeyoon pressed her lips, which still seemed to hold his warmth, and reached for the doorknob.
The sound of the door opening was solid, resonating with a thunk.
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.
