Taekyung sat in the passenger seat, unable to tell Gyuwon to start the car, watching Seoha until she disappeared from view.
Gyuwon, sensing Taekyung’s tense mood, waited silently without speaking.
Complex emotions swirled in Taekyung’s eyes. How was he to understand Seoha, who kept her lips sealed, offering no explanation to him?
Why was she so afraid to even share the reason behind her fleeing from him?
As Seoha continued to push him away and build walls, Taekyung found it impossible to let go of his feelings for her. Frustration and anger began to rise in him due to her silence.
Finally, after a long pause, Taekyung spoke in a low voice as if nothing had happened.
“Gyuwon, let’s go.”
“Uh, sure. But are you okay? It’s like going from a Siberian tundra to the Sahara desert with you. Is that woman Kim Seoha? The one you dated?”
Gyuwon curiously followed her with his eyes until she disappeared, but Taekyung reclined in his seat.
Explaining everything to Gyuwon was too complicated, and there were things even Taekyung couldn’t explain.
He dismissively responded, avoiding Gyuwon’s gaze.
“Quiet. I’m going to take a nap. Wake me up when we get to Seoul.”
“Man, does it hurt your tongue to explain something?”
Taekyung closed his eyes and crossed his arms, slightly turning his body away.
Gyuwon grumbled to himself as he started driving.
Taekyung didn’t open his eyes once until they arrived in Seoul. He maintained a remarkably composed posture even while asleep.
As soon as the car was parked in the company’s lot, Taekyung opened his eyes and got out in an elegant manner.
“Taekyung! How are we going to handle this sudden decision to support Onnuri Kindergarten when we’re short on educational instructors?”
“I’ll take care of the education instructors.”
“What?”
“That solves it, doesn’t it?”
Gyuwon couldn’t comprehend Taekyung’s erratic behavior today.
“Do you think it makes sense for a company CEO to become a coding instructor? Do you think teaching is easy?”
“What’s impossible about it? Even if we had instructors, I’d still attend the classes every week. So it’s fine if I teach them.”
“What? This decision is clearly driven by your personal feelings.”
“Right. It’s a decision full of my personal feelings. Just ignore it.”
Taekyung’s voice was heavy with resignation, and Gyuwon didn’t press any further, only sighing in silent consent.
For the past five years, Taekyung had been more strategic and rational in his business dealings than anyone else. He had never pushed through a decision so impulsively. It seemed obvious that this was because of Kim Seoha.
Gyuwon couldn’t ask for details, knowing that even mentioning Seoha would provoke a sharp reaction from Taekyung.
Upon reaching the executive office, Secretary Yoon greeted them with a troubled expression.
“Mr. Han, the Chairman is waiting for you.”
Taekyung’s expression twisted sourly.
“Mr. Yi, what’s going on?”
Taekyung growled at Gyuwon.
Gyuwon felt his hair stand on end and muttered to himself.
“Fierce guy…”
“Mr. Yi?”
As Taekyung raised an eyebrow, Gyuwon forced a strained smile.
“Well, that’s how it turned out. Anyway, have your talk. I’ll be off…”
“See you later.”
Gyuwon fled to his office, feeling Taekyung’s glare on his back. Secretary Yoon was also uneasy.
“Please prepare a drink. I’ll have coffee.”
“Yes!”
Secretary Yoon quickly moved away to fulfill the request.
When Taekyung opened the door to the executive office, his mother Hyunyoung, the chairwoman of HY Group, one of the country’s leading conglomerates, sat on the sofa. She exuded dignity, wearing a neat and elegant navy two-piece suit, her hair styled gracefully. However, her eyes, in contrast to her benign appearance, were sharply piercing.
“Why are you here?”
“Isn’t it cold of you to greet your mother like this after such a long time? I came here since you wouldn’t visit home despite my calls.”
Hyunyoung remained composed, despite her son’s prickly response, reminiscent of a skilled mother handling a teenage son.
“I have nothing to say to the Chairwoman. I made that clear five years ago, didn’t I?”
“Did you meet Seoha?”
“What does Seoha have to do with you? Are you monitoring every move of your adult son? That’s unlike you.”
Hyunyoung fell silent for a moment. In the meantime, Secretary Yoon entered, placed teacups in front of them, and left. Hyunyoung sipped her tea before speaking.
“Why are you stirring up trouble with a well-settled girl?”
Taekyung bristled at her words.
Did Hyunyoung already know about Seoha and yet chose not to tell him? How much did she know?
“How would you know if Seoha is doing well or not?”
Hyunyoung didn’t respond to Taekyung’s accusatory question. Overcome with resentment, he burst out.
“Did you know about Seoha and chose not to tell me? What are you so afraid of?”
Taekyung’s eyes shone fiercely. Hyunyoung, unfazed, advised him calmly.
“If you care for Seoha, let her be. Both of you will get hurt if you try to solve this.”
“So, you plan to interfere if I meet Seoha again?”
Taekyung ground his teeth. Hyunyoung’s voice sharpened.
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.
