“Who! Why! Who invited me to the state dinner?”
Yeonwoo read the email carefully, gnawing at her fingernails. It was clearly about inviting her to the party that Junhwi would attend.
The sender was Emma. Emma, Emma? Who was Emma again······.
Ah, I remember now!
‘From the French Economic Association party!’
During the dinner party where she attended as Junhwi’s partner, she helped a middle-aged woman who was having a hard time due to vomiting. That woman turned out to be Emma, the wife of the association president.
At that time, Yeonwoo had a casual conversation with Emma, mentioning that she was a secretary for Ro&Yul Lawyer Kwon Junhwi. It was an unexpected moment when a long-forgotten incident resurfaced.
Although she found out who invited her, the ‘why’ part still remained unanswered.
Why did Emma, who considered Yeonwoo just a hardworking citizen and company employee, invite her to such a grand event?
Fireworks, fashion shows, elaborate food, cruise party! Aren’t you excited? It’s going to be a very special summer night! I want to enjoy it with you, Yeonwoo.
When she called Emma to express her gratitude for the invitation, all she received was Emma’s high expectations for how splendid and romantic the party would be.
“But ma’am, is it a place where I can go? It’s an event for the French president, after all.”
Since you are a specially invited guest, Yeonwoo is fully qualified.
And I wanted to repay the warm kindness you showed me last time. Emma added in fluent Korean.
I ruined a beautiful dress because of that day, and I couldn’t properly enjoy the party because of me.
“No, ma’am! That day was more than enough.”
Indeed. Now that she thought about it, it was quite an amusing memory.
Junhwi had complained that he spent a lot of money on party preparations because he hated it, but thanks to him, she had decorated everything with his money. And the sharp and arrogant lawyer, who twisted his ankle, was forced to walk on a shoestring shuttle.
Yeonwoo recalled Junhwi sitting in front of her, kneeling on one knee and brushing off her foot with caution.
It was the first time she subtly admired his picture-perfect appearance below her.
The tall nose, straight forehead, and thick eyebrows were facing only her, making the fact that he was looking at her surreal.
It was a moment when she felt embarrassed yet didn’t mind the subtle warmth spreading.
And Jun is undoubtedly invited. It would be even better if both of you come together.
Oh, how did she know? As if Emma saw through Yeonwoo’s thoughts about Junhwi, she brought up his story.
“Haha······ Yes, Lawyer Kwon was also invited.”
That’s good! It’ll be even better if Jun joins the fun.
Another memory came to mind. Emma nearly jumped up that day, mistaking Yeonwoo for his fiancée.
But whether that statement was a prophecy or not, when she woke up from many events, she found herself being his lover.
Anyway, I’m really thankful for the invitation, but deciding to attend right away was difficult, so we ended the call with the conclusion to give it some time.
‘I am curious though.’
I do want to go at least once. So, the more I thought about it, the more I hesitated.
A cruise party, fashion show, and fireworks, things I’ve only seen in movies. Moreover, there was an opportunity to stay overnight in a room.
When will I ever have such a luxurious experience in my life!
But can an ordinary person go to a place where dignitaries are attending? Even if I received a formal invitation through Emma’s recommendation, it still felt burdensome.
But how would he think?
‘Should I ask him to go as my partner this time too?’
Suddenly, she became curious about Junhwi’s reaction when she expressed the desire to attend the party.
“Of course, you’re going. No need to think about it.”
As soon as he heard, he decisively fed Yeonwoo ice cream.
On the office rooftop, sitting in a corner behind the ventilation fan, the two were eating ice cream that Junhwi brought after his fieldwork.
Since he brought only Yeonwoo’s share, they had to come to a place where no one else was to eat secretly.
“You say you want to go. Then, let’s go.”
“But it feels a bit burdensome. It’s likely that only extraordinary people will gather there. Is it okay for me to join?”
“Those who are there will be busy promoting themselves. They won’t care who came.”
Hm. While hesitating, sweet ice cream pushed its way through Yeonwoo’s firmly closed lips.
“Let’s go together. I won’t ask you to be my partner this time.”
He said it again. Not as a partner.
“Oh, right. ······ This time, it’s not mandatory to bring a partner.”
But why does it feel hurtful? Did she secretly hope to attend the party as a couple with him?
“Kim Yeonwoo would feel awkward. He says he doesn’t want our relationship to be exposed to others. I’ll respect that.”
“Well······.”
For a moment, he correctly pointed out what she had momentarily forgotten. With an unexpected reaction, Yeonwoo blinked her big eyes.
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.
