The gaze that stared intently was quietly entangled at the end.
The black pupils, like traps that tighten more strongly as you struggle to escape, captured Eunseo within their deep borders.
Understood. He’s curious about the situation, not me.
“I enjoyed the meal. It was delicious.”
Eunseo, fearing she might fall into those eyes if she stayed there, pushed the chair into the dining table and stepped aside.
“Oh, don’t bother about it; I’m not hurt.”
After finishing her words, Eunseo didn’t take her eyes off Tae-ha as she left the dining room. His brain, which had been turning briskly, seemed to have become dull as if it had a fever.
“It’ll get through, Representative.”
It was Wooyoung who woke up Tae-ha’s hazy consciousness. Tae-ha laughed lightly at his words and kicked his legs.
“You didn’t smile even once.”
“According to what I found, you have a bright and cheerful personality.”
“Where did you see that?”
“If you smile in this situation, it’s scarier. Think about it. Your grandmother died, and a trashy guy harasses you, and on top of that, a guy with nothing to fear from the world comes after you, calling you a scammer. If you smile, it’s even scarier.”
“The laughter I heard earlier was clearly.”
“Yeah?”
Wooyoung wrinkled his forehead and then suddenly smiled as if something came to his mind.
“Oh, he laughed because I cursed at him.”
With a refreshing laughter, the two men stood up. While heading to the study, Wooyoung reported to Tae-ha about yesterday’s handling of the village hall.
“There won’t be any trouble for Ms. Song Eunseo due to yesterday’s work. Both lawyers have agreed to handle it, and Cho Sung-tae will face very difficult times starting today. You did as you instructed. And Ms. Song Eunseo’s belongings.”
After pausing his words, Wooyoung swallowed the bitterness and continued.
“I’ve never seen anyone with so few belongings. There were so few household items that not even a small truck was loaded. The truck driver even asked if it was really something he should take. How old must it be.”
“…….”
“For now, we stored everything in our warehouse in Icheon, and I brought only two suitcases and one duffel bag from the village hall.”
“Thank you. And while I’m thanking you, let me ask you one more favor.”
“Anything.”
“Visit Solnae Village for me. Before the lawsuit, there are a few things I need to check.”
“Did you come back during working hours just to say that again?”
“Well, partly.”
“You could have done that over the phone.”
Tae-ha nodded his head as if agreeing. It would have been enough.
“Are you trying to trace the scammer?”
“I’m trying not to move lightly. Someone on this side might be involved. Ask Song Eunseo for cooperation and secure her and her grandmother’s call records. If there’s nothing suspicious, she’ll probably cooperate.”
He was curious.
Why Song Eunseo of all people? How did her name end up in the marriage declaration document by chance?
Eunseo looked at Wooyoung again when she finished preparing to go out and came out into the hallway.
“Where are you going?”
Sitting comfortably on the sofa, Wooyoung, who had been reading a book, stood up as soon as he saw Eunseo. Following Tae-ha’s instructions, he also picked up the coat he had placed next to him.
“Shall we go check out the house together?”
“What?”
Eunseo, raising a finger to her lips as if to say, “Shh,” hastily looked around before speaking again.
“Now’s the time.”
Seeing Eunseo delicately folding her eyes, Wooyoung realized that she had played along with the prank.
“The opportunity is gone; Tae-ha ordered it. If you don’t do it, you’ll get in trouble.”
Wooyoung made a gesture as if he were drawing a line across his throat.
“Is this mine?”
Eunseo immediately recognized the outdated design of the phone that Wooyoung held in his hand.
Wooyoung spread his palm, waiting for Eunseo to take the phone.
“I’ve been waiting to give you this. It’s charged.”
“Was there a matching charger?”
“It’s Kwon Taeha’s house. There’s nothing missing. It’s equipped with everything you’d find in a hotel.”
“I didn’t know there would be such things.”
“I didn’t turn off the power. I was afraid someone might urgently look for Song Eunseo.”
“There’s no one looking for me. If there were, it would be someone who owes me something. Anyway, thank you.”
Eunseo responded with a smile, expressing gratitude for Wooyoung’s kindness, and walked past him toward the entrance.
“Will you come back in?”
At those words, Eunseo turned around.
“I’m sorry, but doesn’t Team Leader Choi also think I’m a scammer?”
“A scammer? How would I know? Don’t you know the answer better?”
Although she didn’t hear the answer, it was the same as hearing it. Wooyoung is Tae-ha’s person, and he would think the same way.
Tae-ha’s thoughts are essentially his own. Wooyoung’s kind actions are because Tae-ha showed a certain level of kindness to her.
That’s what Eunseo decided to think.
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…
