As shopping was coming to an end, Yeon-woo finally cautiously brought up the subject with Jun-hwi.
“Um, what should I do if the chairman doesn’t approve until the end?”
Since a while ago, it had been frustrating not knowing the chairman’s intentions as he walked silently behind.
Holding several shopping bags, Jun-hwi suddenly moved back and opened his lips towards his grandfather.
“Grandfather, are you busy at the end of the year?”
“Well, I suppose. After the regular general meeting in December, I should be free. Why do you ask suddenly?”
“Oh. Then, I’ll schedule the wedding date after mid-December.”
Wait, wait. Like this, all of a sudden? He hasn’t even mentioned that he approves yet, right?
Perplexed, Yeon-woo widened his round eyes.
“Why, there’s still less than three months left this year. Do we really have to do it so urgently? Did she get pregnant or something?”
“She hasn’t yet. But I want to join as soon as possible.”
In the conversation between the two, Yeon-woo’s face turned red in an instant, even behind his neck.
But who the heck is this man discussing and deciding to get married within this year?
“…Hmm. Choose a place with convenient transportation. It’s frustrating when the traffic is congested.”
“How about choosing among the JS Hotels? I’ll pick a suitable hall and give you a list. Please discuss it with your parents and let me know the place you like.”
Han Ju-ae, who had already calculated even the scarf to give to Yeon-woo, approached and interrupted.
Is this really allowed? Really? Even the person who didn’t seem to bend easily before?
Jun-hwi, who approached Yeon-woo, who couldn’t answer properly, asked in a low voice.
“Is it okay? In December.”
“Um…? But, yes…”
He felt somewhat deceived by the sly flicker of his eyebrows. He couldn’t even criticize in front of the adults, ‘Who decided to do it within this year?’
“Now I can’t back down.”
Jun-hwi raised a satisfied smile.
Holding the last shopping bag handed over by his mother, he wrapped his frozen shoulder around Yeon-woo and started walking confidently.
The sunny autumn quickly disappeared without a trace. Even in the short five-minute move to another building, it was a cold day with a wind that made the tip of the nose tingle.
“Manager Kim, it’s been a long time since you came here.”
“Yes, there hasn’t been much reason to come to this building since the HR team moved.”
Yeon-woo was moving to the building where he used to work during his secretary days for new employee training with his colleagues.
As soon as he temporarily put down the various items and gift bags to share with new employees in front of the crosswalk, his phone vibrated for a long time.
“Hello.”
Bride! Can I talk to you?
Oh. Whenever he heard that unfamiliar title, Yeon-woo’s shoulders stiffened. It was a call from the wedding planner.
Whether he wanted it or not, it would be urging him to choose something quickly.
The wedding preparations, which started unexpectedly, were a completely unknown world, a series of choices.
Just imagining it made him feel ticklish, and he had to do things he felt impossible to do. He decided to skip the wedding photoshoot, which was supposed to be skipped because it felt awkward, and even though it was just a small wedding with a few invited guests and a simple meal, there were mountains of things to take care of and prepare.
Yeon-woo turned his body slightly to answer quietly to the colleague standing next to him, making sure it wouldn’t be heard by others. He still hadn’t revealed his marriage to his colleagues.
“Yes, Planner. Please go ahead.”
I called to ask if you and the groom can visit this weekend to choose the groom’s tuxedo and the bride’s wedding dress. Can you visit with the groom?
“This weekend…?”
Yeon-woo’s voice trailed off. It was a promise already postponed twice. Jun-hwi had been extremely busy lately.
While the end of the year is a busy season for law firms due to companies trying to wrap up lawsuits or consultations within the year, for some reason, Jun-hwi’s workload this year was enormous, and Yeon-woo found himself unable to see his face properly on many days.
But now, with the mention that further delay might result in the reservation of beautiful new dresses being filled, Yeon-woo sighed inwardly.
“I’ll check my schedule and get back to you later.”
Having finished the cautious call, Yeon-woo casually picked up the bags with both hands again. However, his thoughts became tangled with the idea of scolding him to take some time.
The traffic light changed unnoticed. A colleague who was crossing the crosswalk with Yeon-woo suddenly brought up an awkward topic.
“By the way, these days, young people are really bold, aren’t they?”
“Yes?”
“There’s a rookie secretary who confessed to Lawyer Kwon!”
“Oh… Well.”
It was a story about a rookie secretary who publicly confessed to Lawyer Kwon Jun-hwi that was followed by a dramatic rejection.
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.
