Despite Cha Han Bin’s agitated response, Yeon Woo calmly stated her point.
“Ah, I didn’t send the video through the company email not out of consideration for you, but because the file was too large. Don’t get it wrong.”
“Ha! Stop being annoying.”
“One month. Stick to the deadline.”
“You can’t send that anywhere, you know? A coward like you[Dash].”
“Shall I try sending it to Yoon Ji Woo as a test?”
“…Damn it.”
Yeon Woo deliberately shook her phone annoyingly and then abruptly stood up.
In fact, her heart had been pounding from trying to make such a threatening statement, which was against her nature.
“I’ll spread it around the company about you and Kwon Jun Hwi. What you two are up to.”
I knew it. Cha Han Bin caught her on the point she’s been most concerned about lately.
“Go ahead. Our relationship isn’t illegal. It’s not assault.”
“Don’t mock me.”
“But if the HR department finds out, it would be problematic. Would they transfer me to separate me from Attorney Kwon…?”
Still, considering what I’ve endured so far, a bit of taunting is fine.
Yeon Woo deliberately drooped her eyebrows, feigning concern for Cha Han Bin.
“Then wouldn’t your head and torso get separated? He’ll be furious.”
“Nonsense!”
His face, already red with anger, contorted even more fiercely.
Now was really the time to leave. Yeon Woo hurriedly grabbed the doorknob.
“How long do you think he’ll play with you? Huh? Don’t rely too much on him! Do you know whose son Kwon Jun Hwi is?”
Whose son?
Yeon Woo had no choice but to stop in her tracks, as if caught by the scruff of her neck.
Cha Han Bin yelled even more ferociously, believing his provocation had worked.
“A girl like you can never go all the way with him!”
Unable to fully understand his spluttering, Yeon Woo was about to leave when she sighed deeply and looked back.
“So what if he’s someone’s son?”
“Kim Yeon Woo. You really don’t know anything?”
“As long as he’s not my parents’ son, it’s fine. I’ll decide whether to go all the way or not.”
Yeon Woo shot back at Cha Han Bin, who was smirking maliciously.
“Mind your own business and just keep the deadline I gave you. One month.”
Phew. Ha. She had to keep taking deep breaths after leaving Cha Han Bin’s room. Yeon Woo’s hands trembled all the way back to her seat.
‘Why do I feel like I’m threatening someone when I’m just warning the person at fault?’
She had thought her revenge might be too bland and lackluster, but facing someone and speaking harshly made her feel uncomfortable.
Indeed. Hating someone is not in her nature.
Now, all she had to do was hope Cha Han Bin would leave within a month.
If he doesn’t and she has to send the video to Yoon Ji Woo’s company, that would be several times more nerve-wracking, something she really didn’t want to do.
Besides… Cha Han Bin’s last desperate words were quite unsettling.
‘Do you know whose son Kwon Jun Hwi is?’
No, whose son is he? If you’re not going to tell me, you shouldn’t have brought it up.
His father had passed away, and his mother had remarried a Frenchman, Yeon Woo had heard. This was something she had already learned before they even began anything.
But Yeon Woo didn’t yet know everything about him. Asking him directly about the issues that might touch his pain felt awkward.
The curiosity swelled like a bomb about to explode, all because of that possibly meaningless remark he had made. It didn’t seem like it would be easily resolved.
However, knowing the answer wouldn’t change their relationship.
Whoever his family was, whatever his background, nothing would change.
Kwon Jun Hwi, Yeon Woo’s precious person, whom she had just started to acknowledge.
“Phew…”
As soon as she reached her seat, a sigh naturally escaped her lips. Yeon Woo sat down and looked at Jun Hwi’s empty office.
Surely Cha Han Bin wouldn’t really spread rumors about her and him?
Though she had talked tough, the possibility now scared her the most.
[Come and pay the bill! Leader of P Automobile’s situation room]“…”
Jun Hwi alternated between looking at the text and photo sent by Attorney Yang.
Drinking soju, not wine as mentioned.
He wasn’t sure about the others, but he zoomed in on the photo of his cheerful girlfriend, holding a soju glass tightly. Jun Hwi’s eyes narrowed in concentration.
Then, noticing the two soju bottles in front of Kim Yeon Woo, he suddenly stood up, grabbed his car keys, and suit jacket.
“Attorney Kwon, over here.”
The famous tuna restaurant was still bustling with customers even after 10 PM.
Jun Hwi, spotting Attorney Yang waving at him, strode in with an indifferent expression.
“Wow, our leader paid the bill! Applause!”
“Thank you for the meal, Attorney!”
It was supposed to be a girls’ night, but there were quite a few people. Jun Hwi glanced at Yeon Woo, who was busy talking to someone else and not noticing him.
“Attorney Kwon, please sit here.”
“No, thanks.”
“You came all this way, you should have a drink.”
“No.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
