Dong Geon’s joke stiffened Na Young’s expression.
“Why Professor Tae Hyuk?”
“Why else? He’s a narcissist. How can someone who loves themselves most care for another in a relationship? I bet he’ll go for an arranged marriage. Ha ha ha ha.”
Na Young glared at Dong Geon’s back, but he didn’t notice.
Before the surgery, Lee Ju Ah sought out Tae Hyuk.
“If you mess up my father’s surgery, I’ll make sure you can’t work as a doctor on this land.”
Tae Hyuk looked indifferently at Lee Ju Ah, who was threatening instead of asking nicely. He understood it was a daughter’s worry for her father and didn’t take it personally.
“I operate without personal feelings, even if my enemy’s father is on the table. So, if you want me to perform the surgery, sign the consent form.”
Tae Hyuk presented her the consent form, typically the primary physician’s task, but he had taken it upon himself for Lee Ju Ah. There was another signature needed.
As Lee Ju Ah signed the consent form, Tae Hyuk handed her another document.
“Sign this too.”
Reading it, Lee Ju Ah’s brows furrowed.
“Are you saying if I don’t sign this, you won’t operate on my father?”
The paper Tae Hyuk presented was a non-disclosure agreement regarding Moon Na Young.
“Just don’t mention Moon Na Young. You can spread rumors about me.”
Lee Ju Ah was more offended. The man uninterested in her was going out of his way to protect Moon Na Young.
Holding the pen tightly, Lee Ju Ah glared at Tae Hyuk.
“What if I refuse to sign?”
“That means your pride is more important than your father’s life. Then, stop throwing your weight around using your father’s influence. If even that’s unacceptable, then it’s shameless.”
Lee Ju Ah’s face turned red with anger, her eyes trembling.
Ignoring her, Tae Hyuk stood up.
“Decide whether to sign or not. I’m off to operate on your father.”
As Tae Hyuk was about to leave, Lee Ju Ah shouted at his back.
“Why am I so bad in your eyes? What’s so special about that woman?”
With a click, Tae Hyuk opened the door and left, summarizing his thoughts.
“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”
Lee Ju Ah was just a passerby in this moment.
So, he didn’t want to hate her more or waste energy convincing her.
“What’s going on?”
Yoon Ina, having heard Lee Ju Ah’s outcry, stood in the hallway, searching with probing eyes.
Tae Hyuk shook his head.
“It’s nothing.”
The real fear was Yoon Ina. Her persistence and patience were something Tae Hyuk couldn’t match.
If she harbored revenge against him, it would spell the worst outcome.
Cheol Gwon’s surgery took about three hours. Tae Hyuk informed his wife and Lee Ju Ah that they had successfully removed all cancer cells.
Cheol Gwon’s wife thanked him, while Lee Ju Ah, her eyes red, threw a piece of paper at him.
It was the declaration he had asked her to sign.
Surprised, Cheol Gwon’s wife scolded her daughter for her rude behavior towards the doctor who had just operated on her father.
Tae Hyuk stooped to pick up the declaration.
“It’s okay. I got what I wanted.”
Seeing the signature on the declaration, Tae Hyuk smiled for the first time, thanking Lee Ju Ah.
“Thank you. I really mean it.”
Lee Ju Ah trembled as she looked at him, whether out of anger or something else, he couldn’t tell.
Tae Hyuk turned and left. With his surgeries done for the day, it was time to meet Na Young.
Surprised by Na Young’s response, Tae Hyuk looked up to see her standing on the cloud bridge connecting the buildings. He smiled, holding up the declaration.
“Know what this is?”
Na Young just blinked, clueless.
Tae Hyuk, eager to brag, strode towards her, but suddenly someone interrupted.
“Choi Tae Hyuk!”
The one who called his name so casually at the hospital was Lee Ju Ah.
Despite signing the declaration, she reappeared, shouting loudly.
“You’re the first man to treat me this way! So, I must make you mine!”
Tae Hyuk was taken aback.
The pebble he thought was just passing by had become a massive boulder hurtling towards him.
He quickly turned to look back. Na Young was walking away.
Desperately, Tae Hyuk ran towards her.
“Moon Na Young! Wait!”
I’m innocent!
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.
