Unintentionally meeting a man at the entrance of the restaurant, Tae-eun, who entered side by side, couldn’t relax even sitting in the most panoramic window seat.
After hearing the first meeting story last night, she, too, had tried to search about Seo Woo-jin in her own way. There were countless economic articles about him, but there were no photos. The only recent photo she could find was a dark paparazzi cut from a scandal article with top star Park Seo-woo.
Of course, even in the dark photo, you could quickly tell how handsome he was, but seeing him in person was even more impressive.
In particular, his eyes, elongated without double eyelids, uniquely captivated attention. A leisurely composure emanated from his deep eyes. Therefore, he seemed quite arrogant, and that arrogance suited him very well.
In short, he was a man with an aura beyond his good looks.
“Were you trying to run away?”
“No. It’s not like that.”
“Lie. I saw everything.”
The man, whose gaze lingered strangely even though he wasn’t smiling at all, stirred warm emotions in her heart.
Yes, wealth to this extent must be given for a scandal with top star Park Seo-woo.
Although the scandal that made a lot of noise a month ago ended as a happening between friends, Tae-eun didn’t think lightly of the second scandal with Park Seo-woo.
“What would you like to eat?”
“Are you hungry?”
“It depends on the situation, Ms. Min Tae-eun.”
“In fact, I… don’t feel well.”
“Why? Just at the thought of meeting me?”
“No. It’s not that…”
“I don’t mind. How about tea or coffee then?”
Due to the pressure of this situation, she hadn’t eaten anything all day, but Tae-eun declined the meal. Anyway, dreaming of marriage was impossible, and even eating with him would be suffocating.
In her mind, there was only a desire to finish this meeting and leave as soon as possible. So, the two of them ordered green tea and coffee.
After placing the order, the man’s gaze turned to her. It was just a gaze, but the feeling of her skin tightening made Tae-eun tightly clench the hand on her knee.
It felt like blood was drying up due to tension. Just when she hoped he would say something, a question came out abruptly.
“By any chance, have we met somewhere before?”
“What?”
It was such an unexpected question that Tae-eun, with her jet-black eyes, looked up at him. Unlike his eyes, which showed no sign of wavering beneath his thick eyebrows, her eyes were noticeably shaking.
“No, it’s not that. It’s just that your eyes seemed familiar somewhere.”
As he said that while staring straight into her eyes, she felt an inexplicable warmth. Just when the ordered tea arrived and Tae-eun lowered her gaze, the heat that had risen didn’t seem to easily subside.
She felt breathless. Even though their gazes didn’t meet, she could feel that he was looking at her with his entire body. His gaze seemed to penetrate her skin. Unable to withstand the pressure, Tae-eun raised her eyes to meet his gaze.
Despite her still trembling gaze, his black eyes, silent and calm, faced her without any fluctuations.
It was a gaze with no emotion.
No, it was an indifferent gaze.
Since there were no expectations for the meeting, she wasn’t hurt. From the beginning, they were in a relationship that couldn’t be mixed. A man who would become the next leader of Jangwon, a leading domestic company, and her.
Although her father was a well-known lawyer, it couldn’t compare to the man’s background. From the beginning, an incomparable opponent. Nevertheless, she thought she could come to this place purely by luck. And that luck ended right here.
So, was there a need to drag out the time unnecessarily?
The man, who had been staring at her for a long time, lowered his gaze and brought the coffee cup to his lips. Seeing this, Tae-eun gathered her courage and spoke.
“If you don’t like me, you can just leave. I don’t intend to take up Seo Woo-jin’s time…”
“Who said that? That I don’t like you.”
“What?”
“Miss Min Tae-eun, do you think I am such a generous person in your eyes? Sitting across from a woman who doesn’t appeal to me and leisurely sipping coffee.”
Her mouth slightly opened at the unexpected words.
As if finding her reaction interesting, he lowered the coffee cup and whispered in a low and intimate voice, a voice that only she could hear.
“Let’s get married.”
For a moment, Tae-eun felt a sensation of green tea she had been sipping get stuck in her throat. After turning her head for a moment and clearing her throat, a faint smile appeared on the man’s lips.
“You must be very surprised.”
“Huh, cough… Yes, quite. I didn’t think I would hear such a story as soon as I came here.”
She was greatly bewildered by the unexpected situation. Despite her shaky eye movements, the man showed a smile, but Tae-eun couldn’t smile at all.
“Why… Why do you want to marry me?”
“If I say it’s because you’re pretty, will you believe it?”
A leisurely return to the question.
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.
