His gaze pouring down was intense.
The steady look seemed to be saying he didn’t want a divorce, so Chae Yoon couldn’t say anything rash. No, her lips were sealed.
Just blinking blankly, the valet driver started to talk to her.
“Excuse me… car owner?”
Startled by the stranger’s voice, Chae Yoon unknowingly pushed Han Jae Oh’s chest away as hard as she could.
Thinking he might drop Chae Yoon with that force, Han Jae Oh finally set her down on the ground.
Finally free from him, Chae Yoon said with her head bowed down.
“I’ll just take a taxi.”
His agreement was not needed here.
Wanting to leave this place as soon as possible, Chae Yoon moved as quickly as she could.
How many steps had she taken away?
Han Jae Oh’s voice followed from behind.
“Song Chae Yoon.”
Her frail body flinched at the sound of her name, but her steps did not stop.
“Stop there.”
Instead, they quickened.
Chae Yoon ran toward the taxi in sight, gritting her teeth.
[Divorce, do we have to?] If she hadn’t seen those eyes, she might not have known, but to ride alone with him in a car…It was impossible.
‘No. Absolutely not.’
If they were used to being alone in a car, she wouldn’t have gone this far.
But Chae Yoon had never ridden in Han Jae Oh’s car, and that’s why she felt she needed to run away from the Han Jae Oh who was confusing her.
Finally, her hurried steps reached the taxi.
At the thought of being alone once she opened that door, relief washed over her, but then her body was swiftly turned around with a strong force.
Her eyes trembled as she once again saw the man who had looked at her with intense eyes.
Chae Yoon looked down and gently twisted the arm held in his hand.
“I’ll… go by myself.”
“No.”
“I can. I’m not as drunk as you think…”
“Whether you’re drunk or not, no.”
Chae Yoon’s eyes slightly crinkled.
With a firm tone that didn’t seem likely to back down, Chae Yoon, feeling a bit offended, looked up at him.
“Why?”
“I don’t want to let you go alone.”
“So, why…”
“I’m worried.”
Even though his tone was like scolding a disobedient child, Chae Yoon had no time to care about his tone.
‘Worried?’
Han Jae Oh is worried about me?
Thinking she had misheard, Chae Yoon silently stared at him.
Seeing that Chae Yoon was not saying anything, Han Jae Oh, thinking she had softened a little, sighed lightly and said.
“I was pretty anxious on the way here, so just listen to me.”
I wanted to ask what was bothering her, but my lips remained sealed.
Jae Oh keenly studied the look on Chae Yoon’s face.
She seemed dazed but could spring into action at any moment. Jae Oh couldn’t wait for Chae Yoon to hear him out with the car already running, so he gave up on convincing her through words.
Jae Oh, who had been holding her departing arm, released his grip and bent at the waist. At that, the dazed blinking eyes of Chae Yoon reacted.
He’s definitely trying to lift me up.
Chae Yoon, who realized what Jae Oh was trying to do, cried out.
“No……!”
Jae Oh’s movement halted.
Having straightened his bent waist, he finally met eyes that had regained their focus.
“What do you mean no.”
“……”
Chae Yoon felt weird, her body itching all over at the thought of saying, ‘You’re trying to lift me.’ Somehow, she felt like her arms and legs were getting twisted, so she quickly turned her body towards the direction she came from and said,
“I can walk fine.”
Chae Yoon, having finished speaking, moved her feet.
As the light body moved away quite well, Jae Oh followed Chae Yoon’s path with only his eyes.
His gaze stuck on Chae Yoon eased a bit only after he saw her heading towards her car.
On the other hand, Chae Yoon, who had left Jae Oh behind and walked towards his car, halted the hand reaching for the passenger side car door handle.
Feeling awkward and strange about having to ride in his car for the first time, she hesitated to open the passenger side door, when a large hand suddenly appeared next to her stationary one.
“!”
Chae Yoon, startled, shrunk her shoulders and turned her head.
She felt a flicker of confusion at the sight of Jae Oh coming over to her side instead of the driver’s side.
The fact that he had come over to open the door meant he had seen her hesitation about getting into the car.
She didn’t understand why his gaze, which rarely fixated on her, was sticking to her so persistently today.
As her mind began to get tangled again due to Jae Oh’s incomprehensible actions, he spoke.
“Stop thinking about running and get in.”
Chae Yoon wanted to retort that she hadn’t thought about it, but since she had indeed entertained the thought of running away for a moment, she climbed into the car after heaving a deep sigh.
His car, which she was riding in for the first time, was filled with his unique scent.
It was quite different from the body scent lingering in his bedding, bathroom, or dressing room. It felt more like Han Jae Oh’s own scent.
She felt like she had entered his very private space.
These strange feelings combined with his unusual actions.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
