“The conversation is getting way off track. How far will your imagination go?”
Yeon Woo, flustered, fanned herself with her hand. However, Jun Hwi was more serious than anyone else.
“That’s exactly what your statement implied.”
Was he always this childishly stubborn?
The Jun Hwi she knew was a charismatic alpha male, capable of making hearts flutter with a single glance or sinking them with a frown, adept at controlling situations as he pleased.
But now[Dash].
‘Wow. Even when a perfect man throws a tantrum, he’s still perfect.’
He now seemed like a slightly sulky statue.
His neck muscles, which she used to stroke when they kissed, twitched. She vividly remembered how they would ripple enticingly as he passionately kissed her, sending tingles to her heart.
‘What should I do? I’m in trouble.’
The fact that she was even thinking this way was the bigger issue.
Previously, or before they became close, she would have internally scoffed at his antics, thinking, ‘Here he goes again, acting on his own.’
Now, it was merely evidence of how much this man was into her.
“Do you really accept everyone if they’re young? You didn’t say no.”
Caught up in the extreme charm of a childish alpha male, whether Jun Hwi realized it or not, he kept pressing for an answer.
Yeon Woo waved her hands frantically and quickly responded.
“No, of course not! I don’t like younger men. I prefer older ones. Someone exactly five years older.”
At the same time, she lightly grabbed the lapel of a suit belonging to a man five years her senior.
“…….”
Finally, Jun Hwi, who had been looking straight ahead, glanced at Yeon Woo through the corner of his eye. The tension in his forehead eased ever so slightly.
When he set his mind to it, it was impossible to win an argument with words, just like now.
It was better not to confront him directly but to gently and subtly prod him, the quickest way to end this absurd, childish standoff.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Yeon Woo’s mind. Wasn’t this exactly ‘Taming Kwon Jun Hwi with Carrots’?
She had tried it awkwardly before but ended up being the one overwhelmed by Jun Hwi’s straightforward approach, her heart racing uncontrollably. She had completely forgotten to use that strategy properly.
‘Tell me everything. Without leaving anything out. Anything about Kim Yeon Woo.’
‘Think of yourself as a five-year-old child, and tell me everything like you would to a kindergarten teacher.’
He had once seduced her with his lazy, deep voice, casually thrown out.
But now that she thought about it, it seemed like she was the one being played. It’s almost as if he was the five-year-old!
Regardless, she had to do something to end this frustrating conversation.
Yeon Woo subtly moved her hand from holding Jun Hwi’s suit to his arm, gently weaving into the tight cross of his arms.
“But how long will you stay mad at me?”
“I’m not mad. I just need to clarify certain things[Dash].”
As he spoke, Yeon Woo felt the force he had been applying relax. Seizing the opportunity, she boldly slipped her arm further between his ribcage and arm.
“Then, when will you stop being mad at me?”
The distance was closing between them. Jun Hwi’s large hand gently cradled Yeon Woo’s soft cheek.
Looking at her with half-lowered eyes, it was clear what he was about to do.
‘Ah, I’ve been drinking; it must smell!’
Yeon Woo hastily covered her mouth with her hands.
“Wait, wait. I’ve been drinking today, it’s a bit[Dash].”
Dismissing her words as if they were nothing, Jun Hwi lightly brushed her hands aside and pressed his lips to hers. The faint fragrance of his breath filled the small gap between her slightly opened lips as she spoke.
Initially passive due to embarrassment, Yeon Woo, influenced by Jun Hwi’s assertive lead, eventually gave in and embraced him more intensely.
Jun Hwi, tilting his head the other way, deepened the kiss, making it more intense and breathless.
The kiss, which began softly, turned sharp and forceful, sweeping Yeon Woo away.
Running out of breath, Yeon Woo slightly pushed against his firm chest to signal him.
“Mmm, hmm…!”
It was unusual. Normally, Jun Hwi, considerate of Yeon Woo, would give her space to breathe, but today he was unyielding, almost suffocating.
Even when Yeon Woo tried to pull away, he kept pulling her back by wrapping his hand around her head.
“Huh, why like this[Dash].”
Trying to turn her head to break the kiss was futile; Jun Hwi changed direction and pressed in again.
Startled, Yeon Woo’s attempt to shove his shoulder away was unsuccessful. He bit her lower lip, scraped it, then swallowed her breath again.
She fully understood what it meant to be consumed by a kiss.
“Ha, haah, stop! Stop, stop.”
After the third attempt, she finally broke free, panting as she protested.
“Why are you like this today?”
“What do you mean?”
Today’s kiss differed from the deep, intense ones they had shared before.
It seemed tinged with spite and anger.
“Why are you angry?”
Jun Hwi’s brow creased. He sighed in frustration.
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.
