If only it were possible, Yeonji wanted to ignore Masamseop.
“I wish he had stayed locked up in prison….”
Yeonji sighed while holding her chin with her hand.
In the past, life had flowed smoothly, almost as if the heavens were on her side, but these days, things seemed not to go as she pleased.
“If only Masamseop were just gone, everything would be perfect.”
Yeonji muttered to herself.
If Masamseop disappeared, there would be no need to worry about the past being exposed. Even if there were comments or DMs raising suspicions about her true identity, she could simply ignore them.
“What the hell is this ghost doing? Not taking away scum like Masamseop.”
Biting her nails, Yeonji furrowed her forehead.
If the past were revealed, it was only a matter of time before it was exposed on social media. So, even if unwillingly, she had to be cautious of Masamseop. However, that didn’t mean she wanted to live off his wallet for the rest of her life.
“Should I pretend to like him?”
Masamseop still seemed to think he had a chance with her.
Since he was such a simple human, if she said she liked him, he would believe it was genuine. Perhaps becoming his lover might be a surefire way to keep him silent.
“…But there are limits to that.”
If there were a time limit, like 1 or 2 years, she could manage. She had the ability to act like she was deeply in love. However, if she wanted to permanently silence Masamseop, she would have to pretend to love him until she died.
“Are you crazy? How could you do such a thing?”
Yeonji shook her head vigorously.
No matter how much she thought about it, no suitable solution came to mind.
“No, there must be a way.”
Rising from her seat, she paced back and forth in the living room, deep in thought.
They said that when the sky falls, there’s a hole to jump through. Although it was daunting now, if she continued to think, unexpected solutions might arise.
However, after contemplating for quite some time, no thoughts came to mind.
“Ugh, Masamseop, seriously…”
It seemed like an issue she couldn’t resolve on her own.
As Yeonji sighed heavily with a dark expression, her phone rang.
“Who’s calling again?”
Expecting it to be spam or a telemarketer if it wasn’t Masamseop, Yeonji felt irritated. Considering ignoring it, the annoying ringing urged her to switch the phone to silent.
“Spam.”
Assuming it was a call from a number starting with 02, she was about to press the reject button. However, she suddenly thought it might be from a broadcasting company or a company asking for an advertisement.
She decided to answer and hang up immediately if it was a spam call.
“Hello?”
—Is this Seoyeonji?
At the familiar voice, Yeonji narrowed her eyes.
The voice on the other end was Moon Yeongran.
Why would this woman call me?
Surprised by the unexpected contact, Yeonji became wary. There was no way Yeongran would call her without a purpose. They were not in a relationship where they exchanged simple greetings.
“Yes, I’m Seoyeonji. The person I’m speaking to is Director Moon Yeongran, right?”
—I remember. I’d like to have a brief conversation.
“With me?”
It would have been right to refuse the meeting, as there was nothing to discuss. Now that he had been caught in a lie by Hyukjoo, it was good for his identity not to meet anyone related to him if possible.
But strangely, Yeongran’s voice was kind.
For a brief moment, Yeonji conflicted. Whether to refuse Yeongran’s proposal to meet or to accept.
However, her dilemma did not last long. In the current situation, it was either all or nothing.
When in doubt, confronting was the right thing to do.
“Shall we go to the art museum?”
Yeonji asked in a bright voice, as if there were no reservations.
Ju-hwan cautiously looked around inside the prosecutor’s office.
It wasn’t his first time coming, but due to the pressure of the location, just sitting there made his heart pound.
The interior landscape was no different from before. The desk, the floor filled with documents, and the bookshelf filled with thick books titled Commercial Law and Capital Market Integration Law.
“Mr. Oh Ju-hwan.”
At the calling sound, Ju-hwan looked at Seonghan.
But he didn’t say anything after calling him. Turning the papers in his hand one by one, Seonghan gripped his forehead, making Ju-hwan swallow dry saliva.
Finally, Seonghan raised his head and asked, “How’s your body?”
“…It hurts a bit, but I can bear it.”
Even though he had deliberately claimed to be sick while pretending to be sick in hospital clothes, Ju-hwan made a sound of illness. Even if his body, which was fine yesterday, became worse after sleeping and waking up, it wouldn’t be strange at his age.
Seonghan, smirking, spoke again, “You started from the lowest position, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“From a rookie to a CEO… Truly remarkable.”
“It’s the result of hard work, hehe.”
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.
