Yeon Woo’s computer screen displayed a filled email window. The recipient was Cha Han Bin. Yeon Woo, resolute in her decision to confront Cha Han Bin, was about to send an email containing evidence of his misdeeds. All that was left was to click ‘send’, but her finger hesitated just before clicking.
“No, send it. Send it and then go confront him. Don’t be fooled again.”
Shaking her head to clear it, Yeon Woo promptly clicked the mouse.
[The email has been sent.]Once sent, it didn’t seem like a big deal. She even felt relieved.
Now it was time to face Cha Han Bin in person. As Yeon Woo was about to get up, she met eyes with Attorney Yang approaching her desk.
Attorney Yang suggested a dinner. It was a modest gathering only for the female members of the Special Situations Room, inviting Yeon Woo and Jieun.
“It’s just us, having wine and delicious food, relaxing and chatting away. It’s definitely not an official dinner but a proper ladies’ night. What do you think, sounds fun, right?”
“But, Attorney Yang, I didn’t participate in the Special Situations Room tasks, is it alright for me to join?”
“Of course it is, Jieun.”
Jieun seemed eager to go, but perhaps feeling awkward about joining alone, she seemed to hope Yeon Woo would join too.
“I’ll take responsibility for your way home! We’ll have a short but sweet time until 10 PM, then pick anyone from the office working late to drop us home.”
“We can just take a taxi.”
“Kwon is always in the office late, so it’s like a free taxi ride.”
Was it her imagination, or did Yeon Woo feel like Attorney Yang was winking at her?
“Oh, there he comes. Our floor’s taxi.”
As Jun Hwi stepped into the office, Attorney Yang added fuel to the fire.
“What?”
“No, no, Kwon. Just saying it’s nice to see you.”
“Why am I a taxi? I am Kwon, you know.”
It was surprising enough that he threw a joke so unexpectedly, and even more so that the joke was seriously lacking in humor.
“Uh…”
“Yes?”
The atmosphere, previously warm and convivial, suddenly turned awkward.
And then Yeon Woo couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Wow. Is this, is this funny to you, Assistant Manager?”
“A little funny. Isn’t it?”
Leaving everyone perplexed, Jun Hwi headed to his room, leaving Yeon Woo alone under Attorney Yang’s sympathetic gaze.
“Assistant Manager, you just cracked up. If you laugh like that, Kwon will really think he’s funny. It’s a bad habit.”
“Assistant Manager, your standards for humor are quite low. Disappointing.”
Even Jieun joined in teasing Yeon Woo.
Wasn’t it a bit funny? Am I the only one who laughed?
Still with wavering eyes, Yeon Woo received a meaningful comment from Attorney Yang.
“Look, Assistant Manager Yeon Woo, let’s not give Kwon Jun Hwi a break anymore. Got it?”
“…”
Why does that hit a nerve?
“Um. Jieun, I’ll just step out to another attorney’s office for a bit!”
Maybe meeting Cha Han Bin was a better idea after all.
Yeon Woo hastily left her seat.
“In Jiwoo. I’m trying too. You know that. …You know, right? I understand what you want. But Cambridge is also a great place. Close to Boston, and New York is just a flight away[Dash].”
In Cha Han Bin’s office.
Dressed in a gray vest, he paced around the room, deeply engrossed in a phone conversation.
Lately, conversations with Yoon Jiwoo always felt stifling. He was trying to persuade her to go on a study trip to the U.S., but Jiwoo kept throwing tantrums, insisting she didn’t want to go to a top-ranked law school located in the ‘countryside’ of Massachusetts.
“…Okay, Jiwoo. We need to decide carefully. I’ll look into places near New York City as well.”
After hanging up, Cha Han Bin leaned on his desk and sighed deeply.
“I’ll have to push through!”
Such a spoiled rich girl, barely knowing anything at her age.
Nothing seems to go right. Since the R Motors case, the Lo & Yul CEO hasn’t been as fond of him as before. In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was about to be discarded.
Even considering a move to another major corporation’s legal team, the thought of Kwon Jun Hwi eagerly waiting with a lawsuit card was troubling.
The idea of studying in the U.S. came to mind. Gaining a master’s degree from a law school and acquiring a U.S. attorney’s license seemed like a good plan for future use.
If he was going to study abroad, it had to be in a top-notch environment for easier resettlement later. But this time, the problem was Yoon Jiwoo.
She kept insisting, “Massachusetts is rural,” “I won’t go unless it’s a major city like New York or San Francisco,” making him anxious.
If it weren’t for her father’s background, he would’ve gotten rid of her a long time ago.
Still, he needed Jiwoo for now. She was the one to cover his study expenses, so he had to keep her happy. Even his savings as a lawyer seemed tight for just covering rent, let alone tuition.
Cha Han Bin suppressed his rising disgust and reached for his phone again, intending to search for a luxury brand Jiwoo liked. Giving her some earrings might appease the simple financier.
“What’s this now?”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
