While taking a bite of the egg, Nayoung made a promise to him.
“If I pass the specialist exam, I will reveal to everyone at the hospital that the unemployed person was actually Professor. Please wait a little.”
“How is that a little? I still have over three years left! Do you know how old I’ll be by then?”
When Taehyuk complained about his age, Nayoung squinted her eyes and looked at him.
“So, you don’t like it?”
Taehyuk immediately shook his head, peeling the eggshell for her instead.
“Then, even if I become unemployed, you won’t break up with me?”
“By then, Professor, you can do household chores. I’ll work and earn money.”
Subtly implying that the two were getting married, Taehyuk couldn’t hold back, and his mouth curled up.
At first, they said dating was unacceptable, but now it seemed marriage was easy.
If he had known, he should have suggested marriage from the beginning.
Taehyuk didn’t want to meet Jang Suho again, but he couldn’t postpone it either.
He was about a minute late for the appointment, and Jang Suho was already there, waiting for him.
It was their third meeting, but the first time they were meeting alone.
Taehyuk sat down in the chair, crossed his legs, and glanced at Jang Suho with an unpleasant look.
“Every time we meet like this, you become less welcome.”
Even with a greeting that sounded more like a quarrel, Jang Suho remained calm.
Taehyuk didn’t like Jang Suho’s vast patience because he couldn’t do the same.
Taehyuk felt he had to repay as much as he received.
Anyway, today, he needed Jang Suho’s help, so he couldn’t keep picking a fight.
“Well, meeting today…”
“You want to know about Director Jeon, right?”
Taehyuk said with a stern expression, “Yes, but if you interrupt me like that, I don’t feel good.”
“I usually say things that are right, so bear with it. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Huh! I guess you know that I hate you.”
“I’m not stupid.”
It was amusing to hear such words from a capable person who was recognized by Nayoung’s father.
“You don’t need to make an effort to look good in front of Director Jeon. Such flattery will only backfire.”
After all, flattery was something Taehyuk couldn’t do even if he died.
“Then, I suppose you think all the gifts I give are flattery.”
“Yes, just go empty-handed.”
“Fine, it saves money.”
“Also, as much as possible, refrain from speaking in front of Director Jeon. Talking only causes damage.”
Since it meant keeping quiet, Taehyuk rolled his eyes.
“To be honest, do you have no intention of helping me at all?”
“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have come here.”
Taehyuk leaned forward, looking at Jang Suho with eyes that clearly couldn’t understand.
“Is that what I’m saying? Why on earth are you helping me? Could it be that my grandfather knows you have a lot of money? Dream on. That stingy old man saves money even when buying his own socks.”
“Do you know how many people lost their lives because they couldn’t repay the debt to that grandfather?”
Hearing that, flames flickered in Taehyuk’s eyes.
In an instant, Taehyuk grabbed Jang Suho by the collar and fiercely rebuked him.
“I promised Nayoung that I wouldn’t hit you. But if you mess with my family like this, I won’t hold back either.”
Taehyuk was gripping Jang Suho’s neck so hard that it was difficult to breathe, but Jang Suho endured and advised him.
“Director Jeon will bring up that story with you first. If you react like this when that happens, it’s over. Do you understand?”
In his attempt to resist, his jaw trembled.
The hand gripping the neck showed prominent blue veins.
Thunk.
Taehyuk released Jang Suho as if throwing him, then hesitatedly sat down on the chair.
Jang Suho, exhaling deeply, couldn’t say anything for a while.
Both men struggled in their respective positions for a while.
Taehyuk was the first to speak.
“If you know all that, shouldn’t you be helping me more?”
Rubbing his neck with his hand, Jang Suho responded, “Miss Moon Nayoung survived because of your misfortune.”
Taehyuk lifted his head and looked at Jang Suho.
“So, I don’t think Director Jeon should blame your misfortune for separating the two.”
Choi Taehyuk’s unfortunate family history had a profound impact on his life.
As a result, he wandered, getting involved in the gang’s car during the time he should have been attending school.
It was not all coincidences; there were causes and effects.
Therefore, if the reason Moon Seongcheol wanted to cut off Choi Taehyuk was because of his family background, it was a contradiction.
Because Choi Taehyuk was born into such an unfortunate family, he could save Moon Junghwa, the daughter of Director Moon.
“And if you talk about that incident in front of Director Jeon, it won’t end well.”
“I know that much.”
In front of the father who almost lost his daughter to a kidnapping, speaking carelessly about that kidnapping would be as detestable as the kidnapper himself.
So Taehyuk couldn’t dare to venture. Even if he saved Nayoung, it would remain a secret forever.
“But why do you keep speaking informally to me?”
When Jang Suho asked with the first trace of annoyance, Taehyuk casually responded, “Then, you do it too.”
Jang Suho turned his head.
Although he didn’t like informal language, being well-educated, he couldn’t behave the same way.
“Can I meet Mr. Moon Nayoung’s father today?”
Surprised by Taehyuk’s question, Jang Suho showed a puzzled expression.
“Are you going to see him first?”
It was something he hadn’t thought about at all.
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.
