‘How many times do I have to say no.’
Yeon Woo, now tired of refusing, used only her right thumb to quickly reply with [No].
Just as she was replying, she happened to be passing by L Corporation.
I wonder if the blind date guy is in that building since he said he worked at L Corporation.
‘Your company is close, isn’t it?’
She recalled the advantages of the blind date guy that Kyung Ah boasted about. It was convenient and nice for dating in many ways, as it was easy to meet up if they were close, and they could see each other often for short periods of time.
But if proximity is the matter, Kwon Jun Hwi is the closest, ah.
‘Kim Yeon Woo, you must be crazy!’
As if someone had peeked into her mind, a chill ran down her spine. Scratching her innocent eyebrows, Yeon Woo hurried into the Ro En Yul building.
Around the end of lunchtime, the first floor of Ro En Yul was crowded with people waiting for the elevator.
Once the elevator had gone up once, the people who had crowded in had disappeared and only a few remained in the lobby, including Kwon Jun Hwi who was standing in a corner where no one was.
Of all things, the protagonist of her absurd imagination had to be there. Seeing him, Yeon Woo’s lower lip was tightly drawn in for no reason.
“Attorney Kwon, did you have a good meal?”
“Yes.”
Ji Eun, who had no idea of Yeon Woo’s inner thoughts, approached Jun Hwi and greeted him.
For reasons she didn’t understand, it felt awkward to be in the same space as him.
Yeon Woo quietly bowed her head and then positioned herself at a distance from him, waiting for the elevator.
Ping, her cell phone vibrated briefly again.
[Blind date?] “Hey, enough!”Unintentionally checking the screen, Yeon Woo suddenly got angry at another blind date message from Kyung Ah.
Does she get a commission if she sets up a blind date?
Apologizing to Ji Eun, who was surprised next to her, she was about to seriously reply to Kyung Ah to stop it.
Then Kyung Ah sent a series of photos.
Without thinking, she clicked on it and a halfbody shot of an unfamiliar man filled the screen. Yeon Woo froze for a moment and blankly blinked her eyes.
The blind date man was an attractive person with clear facial features and a round smiling face line. The wavy hair that covered his forehead and the light blue knit attire showed his sense of style.
“What are you doing, Kim Assistant? Who is that?”
Just then, someone who had been watching from behind intruded.
…She was caught by the infamous gossipers, the combination of former and new managers who were notorious for easily talking about others.
“Hello, Manager.”
“Who is it? Whose photo is it? Kim Assistant’s boyfriend?”
“Ah, no!”
“Look at this. Wow, he’s really handsome!”
Without any respect for privacy or manners, Manager Shin swiftly took the mobile phone from Yeon Woo’s hand.
A picture of a man sent by Kyung Ah quickly came under the severe scrutiny of the managers.
“He looks like actor Kim Ju Hyun, doesn’t he? He knows how to be cool. The corners of his lips are slightly upturned. Sexy.”
“He looks like a really masculine man, but look at his fair skin. Small face and puppylike. I really like this style.”
“Ha ha… yes…”
“Who is he? Huh? Who is making Deputy Kim Yeon Woo stare at the screen so affectionately?”
‘When was I affectionate!’
Please don’t make things up.
Manager Gu’s metallic voice was loud, hoping it wouldn’t reach Jun Hwi’s ears.
It was not certain why he had that thought, but he seemed to be conscious of him.
Fortunately, when he stole a glance, he was as always, not paying attention to his surroundings, looking at his mobile phone.
But the crisis did not end there.
“Oh, is Deputy Kim planning on blind dating?”
Because Kyung Ah sent another text to arrange a blind date while they were looking at the screen, the specifications of the blind date man popped up in front of everyone.
“It’s the blind date guy! He’s really tall. His age is perfect too. 4 years difference.”
“Deputy Kim, it’s a good age for dating. When are you going to do it?”
“Are you going on a blind date, Deputy? Wow. Spring has come! I wish you good luck.”
Three of them got excited at the same time and made a loud noise in the lobby. Even strangers tried to look at Yeon Woo’s face.
Oh. This was like broadcasting to everyone on the first floor, including Kwon Jun Hwi.
Jun Hwi’s side profile, who was going up in the elevator that had just arrived, kept catching her eye.
“No, no. I’m not planning on it. I guess my friend just sent a picture.”
“Why not do it? That’s a waste. Deputy Kim has high standards.”
“He must work at L Industries. It’s an L Industries ID card.”
Manager Shin, who had a good eye for detail, enlarged the photo here and there, then proudly announced the additional information he had discovered.
“It’s good if the company is nearby.”
“That’s right. Even if dating within the company is burdensome, if the company and home are close, that’s the best.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
