Although it might be unnecessary to pretend to know each other after meeting on a narrow bridge, it was a bit awkward to ignore him when he bowed and entered first.
Jeonghyuk, still seated awkwardly, looked at the man who approached him.
“Why is Representative Kwon here?”
“I was selected as one of the top ten young architects leading Seoul. I don’t think I have the skills for it yet, but it seems there really is a lack of talent.”
Even after saying that, Dojun scratched the back of his head as if it was embarrassing. Jeonghyuk ignored it, thinking it was just modesty.
“That’s right. It seems there is a lack of talent.”
Even with the sarcastic remark, Dojun smiled subtly.
“Oh, by the way, how are Dajeong and Siu?”
When he mentioned Dajeong and Siu, Jeonghyuk’s eyebrows twitched with dissatisfaction.
Avoiding Dajeong and Siu, he had his own time for over a month.
The reason for having this blank period was not to sort out thoughts or to reinterpret relationships.
It was just endurance. Because Yoo Dajeong, who couldn’t understand my feelings no matter how much time passed, was too hateful and abominable.
Without a clear conclusion, he endured, knowing that these times only tortured himself.
But even knowing that, these times were nothing more than self-torture.
However, it did not mean that he would allow any openings to his rivals.
“Why is Mr. Kwon Dojun asking about someone else’s woman and child?”
Perhaps because of the worn-out blank period, the tone came out somewhat aggressively. Then, Dojun, instead of being upset, rolled his eyes in puzzlement.
“Then, why ask about someone else’s woman and child? If it’s my woman and child, why bother asking about their well-being?”
“……. ”
What was wrong with the tone?
That’s right. Because there was nothing wrong, Jeonghyuk found himself at a loss for words.
Damn. It seems like the rivalry consciousness he had in the past has settled as trauma.
Still, it wasn’t unpleasant that the man he considered a rival acknowledged ‘someone else’s woman and someone else’s child.’
Jeonghyuk started to ponder a bit. Since Kwon Dojun approached so unexpectedly friendly, there was a feeling that we should reciprocate not only with hostility but also with something resembling kindness.
Jeonghyuk clenched his fist, pressing his lips firmly, and looked at him with a lenient gaze.
“Well, it’s not wrong. Still, why bother asking about the well-being of my woman and child if there’s no reason to pretend to know?”
“Well, that’s true. There’s no need to be so friendly without a reason.”
Jeonghyuk’s eyebrows narrowed slightly as if to say, “What kind of trick is this?” Dojun shrugged his shoulders and smiled as if nothing happened.
“Just because. I thought you might be the person who knows the most about the person I want to ask about. I’m hoping she might say hello even in passing.”
“Well, I’m not particularly interested in other people’s affairs.”
Although he knew that the person he was curious about was Sugyeong, he wouldn’t show favor to this man so easily.
“I see. That’s too bad. By the way, Dajeong seems happier than ever, she said. I felt good when I heard that.”
Suddenly, the conversation shifted to Yuda Jeong. Jeonghyuk’s eyes narrowed.
“Why are you suddenly talking about that?”
“I’m just saying that I’m glad Cha Jeonghyuk is a good person, more than I thought.”
“……. ”
Jeonghyuk’s forehead sharply wrinkled. What’s this guy up to? Is he trying to make me drop my guard?
Despite setting up a guard of caution, Dojun’s laughter spread across his face. Perhaps because of that, Jeonghyuk felt his heart softening inexplicably.
“I believe you will continue to make Dajeong happy in the future. Because she’s a good woman.”
“Don’t act all high and mighty. I know better than anyone that she’s a good woman.”
“She grew up lonely, with a lot of defenses and cautious corners, so sometimes it’s annoying and sad when she doesn’t rely on me. But still, that’s Dajeong.”
“……. ”
Jeonghyuk stared at Dojun’s face, smiling with a smile he didn’t like at all.
I know, I know! Yuda Jeong is that kind of person.
Why did I act like I completely forgot? I knew it all along. From the beginning, that Yuda Jeong was such a person.
As Jeonghyuk was about to turn around without a word, his footsteps hesitated.
“Oh, by the way, the person you wanted to ask about the well-being. There’s a rumor that she’s seen at Central Park around 8 a.m. every morning.”
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
