The next day. Yeonwoo’s commute.
At the cafe, she encountered Ms. Jieun, who had been in charge of the last new employee training.
“Ms. Jieun! It’s been a while.”
“Oh, Assistant Kim. How have you been?”
Surprised by Yeonwoo’s greeting, Ms. Jieun quickly bowed her head.
“How are you? Have you been well lately?”
“Ms. Jieun, won’t you come in? Let’s go quickly.”
However, as Yeonwoo started a friendly conversation, the group hastily grabbed Ms. Jieun’s arm.
“Uh······ Assistant, um······.”
Looking at Yeonwoo awkwardly, Ms. Jieun hesitated.
“Go ahead. People are looking for you.”
“Then, Assistant, see you next time!”
Even though they hadn’t seen each other for a while? She received a lot of help from Ms. Jieun and had a good time. She wished she could check in on her more after being transferred.
With various thoughts, Yeonwoo also entered the company with her coffee.
“Hello. Good morning.”
“Ah······. Yes, Assistant Kim.”
She greeted her colleagues, who gathered in the break room to have coffee, with a smile. However, everyone’s reaction to seeing Yeonwoo was lukewarm.
Up to this point, Yeonwoo didn’t notice anything strange.
After lunch? What happened?
“Um, after that, I took a short walk. While drinking coffee.”
On the video call, Junhwi was casually dressed in a T-shirt. Beyond the window of his hotel room, the dazzling night view of Shanghai unfolded.
But really, what’s going on?
“Me?”
Not just one or two things happened.
Feeling somewhat annoyed, Yeonwoo lay down on the bed with her phone in her hand.
······If you lie down like that, it looks dangerous.
“Oh, really.”
Joking. You seem a bit tired today.
This guy is really good at reading people.
For the past few days, people kept avoiding Yeonwoo, subtly ostracizing her. But she couldn’t figure out the reason.
People who used to have friendly conversations suddenly changed overnight. Even when she tried to talk to them, they were indifferent and tried to distance themselves from Yeonwoo.
Considering how much she hesitated and pondered over how to approach her colleagues on messenger.
Why did you guys eat without me? Or ask if they saw you guys coolly at the restaurant, and if the food was good.
However, she was shocked and puzzled when she received an email from a close senior saying, ‘Let’s cancel lunch today.’
With Kang Manager talking nonsense on top of that and trying to pass on the work, it was a series of turbulent events, along with the enduring resentment from Lim Nayoon.
“It’s not like there’s anything wrong. I’m just a little tired.”
I couldn’t tell him.
I didn’t want to bother busy people and complain. It was also embarrassing. It seemed like I was being avoided. How can I easily say such things to my lover?
If you’re having a hard time because of too much work, reduce the caseload. How about telling Lawyer Kim Seungho that you can’t handle it?
“He’s doing it again.”
Junhwi’s smiling eyes looked good. Thinking that she wanted to touch his long eyelashes, Yeonwoo smiled back, folding her eyes.
Or you could lie down and say you can’t handle Lawyer Kwon Junhwi.
“Is that okay? Are you serious?”
Well, if you objectively think about it, among the three I’m handling now, I’m the most demanding and give a lot of work, right?
“You know yourself very well.”
Yeonwoo’s laughter, who was smiling widely, vanished when he came in.
I’ve seriously thought about it. If Kim Yeonwoo is okay, I think I’m ready now. Ready to fall.
“······.”
If it’s difficult, you can drop my caseload. Or you can support me with another staff. How about looking for something easier and less busy?
“If that’s the case, you should have let me resign earlier.”
She lightly passed it off, but she felt hurt for no reason, even towards him. Yeonwoo forced a smile and nodded.
How many things she endured to get here.
Even if she didn’t get involved with him like this, it was a position she endured in the end because of her diligence and attachment to her career.
“Just wait until the busy work is over. But Lawyer, you’re much busier than me. It must be hectic with local meetings and factory inspections. Are you eating well?”
I want to hear something else besides that. You’re not saying what I want to hear to the end.
“Huh? To Yeonwoo, who was puzzled, Junhwi deliberately made a serious expression.
I miss you. Come back soon. There’s a lot like this.
“Ah, I miss you! Ah, I miss you. I hope tomorrow comes quickly.”
You’re bowing down.
Still, Junhwi’s expression relaxed considerably.
See you tomorrow.
Tomorrow. Will this awkward situation get a little better when you come back tomorrow? Even if it’s frustrating, it’s good to have a place to rely on.
Even after ending the call, Yeonwoo couldn’t sleep for a long time.
The next day has come.
I really don’t want to go to work. Yeonwoo was reluctantly leaving the subway station.
“Assistant Yeonwoo! I see you often on the way to work these days.”
“Hello, Lawyer Kim.”
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.
