Se Kyung had chased Seok Joo away, but she couldn’t linger long in Tae Jo’s office, fearing it might seem odd to Seok Joo if she stayed too long.
As she expected, upon leaving Tae Jo’s office, she spotted Seok Joo loitering near the pantry. “You came out quickly. What did Tae Jo say?”
“He didn’t say much. Just congratulated me on the drama’s premiere today. Told me to call Director Ban and thank him for the flowers,” Se Kyung replied, sticking to the response she had prepared.
The truth was, Tae Jo had planned to go home with Se Kyung after work, but their plans were ruined by two friends who had accompanied Se Kyung.
“So, that’s it. Hmm, did Tae Jo say anything else to you?”
“The Chairman? To me, about what…?” Se Kyung feigned confusion.
Seok Joo, lowering his voice, softly said, “You know, that night you threw drunk Tae Jo in his hotel room. It turns out you being in the room was all found out.”
“Oh…” Se Kyung realized Seok Joo had already known everything.
“Did Tae Jo tell you he knew about it?”
“No.”
“And you didn’t get scolded for it?”
There were many other significant things that were said, Se Kyung thought, smiling slightly. It was the first time she saw Seok Joo face-to-face since that hotel encounter.
After that day, Tae Jo became her lover, and a new life came to her. Se Kyung wondered how Seok Joo would react if he knew all this.
“If Tae Jo didn’t say anything, that’s good. I was worried you might have gotten in trouble for that. You’ve been through a lot recently. Sorry I couldn’t call even once, being your senior.”
“It’s okay, you were busy. I understand.”
“Luckily, things settled quickly. Oh, are you going home now? Should I call your manager to pick you up?”
“No, I can call myself…”
“It’s okay, I’ll wait here. I’ll call the manager. And do come to the workshop. I’ll bring some delicious traditional liquor.”
Seok Joo left hurriedly, ignoring her protests.
“Why don’t you listen to me? I’m not drinking these days.”
Se Kyung held the flower basket and chuckled quietly. Seok Joo’s retreating figure resembled a bear carrying a honey pot.
Se Kyung touched the soft, pink petals of the flowers, enjoying their delicate texture.
“Thank you for the flowers. I received them well.”
[Sigh] “It would have been better if I could give them in person. I’ve been so busy with the next exhibition,” Yeri said over the phone. Se Kyung called Yeri in the evening to thank her. [Sigh] “I actually wanted to send them to your house, but Tae Jo absolutely refused to give me the address.”“Really?”
Se Kyung looked back at Tae Jo, who was sitting on the sofa, channel surfing.
“If you’re busy with the exhibition, will it be hard to make time? I’d like to invite you for a meal.”
[Surprised] “Oh, what are you saying! If Se Kyung asks, I’ll make time. When would be good for you?”“I’m free tomorrow or the day after. Next weekend is also good. Or maybe on the gallery’s closed day?”
“I’m free the day after tomorrow.”
[Deciding] “Then, let’s have lunch that day. I’ll check my meeting times and let you know.”“Okay. I’ll keep the day after tomorrow free.”
[Cheerfully] “Alright. See you then. I’ll call you the day before.”After a cheerful goodbye from Yeri, Se Kyung, holding her phone, approached Tae Jo.
“Going to meet Mrs. Ban?”
“Yes. But are you sure you want to watch here?” Se Kyung asked, referring to the drama’s premiere.
“If you’re busy with the exhibition, it must be hard to find time, right? I’d like to treat you to a meal too.”
“I’m free either tomorrow or the day after, next weekend is good too. Or maybe on the gallery’s day off?”
“The day after tomorrow, I’m free.”
[Dash] “Then, shall we have lunch that day? Let me check my meeting schedule and I’ll get back to you.”“Alright. I’ll keep the day after tomorrow free.”
[Dash] “Great. See you then. I’ll contact you the day before.”After a cheerful goodbye, Yeri hung up. Se Kyung, clutching her phone, approached Tae Jo.
“Going to meet Mrs. Ban?”
“Yes. But are you really going to watch it here?”
Tae Jo nodded and patted the sofa next to him, urging her to sit. The TV screen displayed the title of “Elegant Family.”
“It feels weird to watch with the Chairman.”
She had planned not to meet Tae Jo, especially on the day the drama aired. But when she didn’t go to his house, he came to her place to watch the premiere together.
“Why?”
“It’s like writing a diary with a teacher watching. It’s embarrassing and awkward.”
“Now? I’ve seen Se Kyung’s acting more than once or twice.”
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.
