“It really doesn’t feel good. I don’t care much about those things. It’s a bit annoying for people to gossip about Se-kyung and the baby without knowing the truth.”
Tae-jo, stroking Se-kyung’s head, lightly tapped her forehead again.
“So, I talked to the legal team. I gathered all the materials from the last Im Joo-hee incident and collected all the malicious comments this time to sue.”
“…?”
“No leniency. Whether it’s anonymous or not, you have to take responsibility for what you say.”
Se-kyung raised her head to look at Tae-jo. Though he seemed to be smiling, there was an unexplained anger in his eyes.
“Oh, and the reporter. Manager Song said they caught the reporter who was following Tae-jo in front of the company. Did they learn anything from that person?”
“What do you mean?”
“About the pregnancy. Who leaked it. Honestly, I could let the rumors about our dating or marriage slide, but I don’t understand that much. Did the reporter just poke around? Did they happen to discover me going to the hospital?”
“…”
“No?”
With Tae-jo not providing any response, Se-kyung asked anxiously.
“At least according to that reporter, there was a tipster.”
“Who is it? Could it be someone we know?”
“I’ll check and let you know later. Right now, I can’t completely trust everything that reporter said. Did you ask about what happened after meeting my mother?”
Feeling like something was being diverted, Se-kyung nodded her head for now. It was because she was more curious about Tae-jo’s mother’s reaction than an anonymous source.
“The article is all read, and I answered the questions you were curious about. Told them that I plan to marry Se-kyung and that we have a baby. After that, she showed a reaction similar to Director Kang.”
“A reaction similar to Director Kang…”
Se-kyung’s face darkened. It reminded her of what happened in Gapyeong.
Now she could accept everything and help the two, but unlike Senior Seok-joo, didn’t Director Kang react violently to the news of their dating and pregnancy?
“What made you the most upset?”
“Learning about it through an article was the most disappointing. Our marriage and the news about the baby.”
Se-kyung sighed deeply, feeling like she had a thorn stuck in her before even greeting them. How could she fix this?
“Um… I won’t be kicked out before I even say hello, right?”
In Se-kyung’s mind, a picture of Mrs. Ma’s face, seen only in photos, appeared. She felt like she wouldn’t be able to stand before her.
“Even if you say that, she’ll welcome you warmly. So don’t worry too much.”
Is that only for Mr. Tae-jo?
Se-kyung sighed deeply. Why did a scene from a morning drama come to mind at this moment?
“Is your mother preparing an envelope of money or something?”
“You’ve watched too many dramas.”
Smiling, Tae-jo pulled his tie, loosening it. Then, he noticed a book on the table and reached for it.
“Is this the book you bought back then?”
“Yes.”
Se-kyung nodded, and Tae-jo picked up a fairy tale book from the stack and handed it to her.
“Why is this?”
“Wanted you to do prenatal education. Read a fairy tale to Angkko.”
“But what I said was for Mr. Tae-jo to read it… Gyaak!”
Se-kyung’s body suddenly floated. Startled by the heightened view, Se-kyung, surprised, screamed, reaching out with both arms to find a place to cling to.
“I’ll do it. On the bed.”
Tae-jo’s voice permeated her ears. Blushing, Se-kyung bit her lip, tightly wrapping her arms around his neck.
As Joo-hee scrolled down the article, her brows furrowed deeply. She habitually bit her nails and spat out an irritated voice.
“What’s this? The heir to JK Group?”
The articles about Se-kyung’s marriage and pregnancy adorned the main page of the portal until the next day.
The only difference from the previous day was that, in addition to the articles, Se-kyung’s handwritten letter posted on SNS was also included.
While acknowledging the marriage, Se-kyung unexpectedly quickly admitted to the two facts. And the reason for not informing the fans in advance was because the drama scheduling of ‘Elegant Family’ was suddenly moved up.
“Who would believe that?”
Se-kyung had written a handwritten letter to express her own position, but the entertainment sections were still buzzing with articles about Se-kyung.
And it didn’t stop there. When it was revealed that Se-kyung’s romantic partner was the son of a chaebol, other sections started pouring out information about him.
Even the channels of YouTubers spreading provocative information became busier. The thumbnails were filled with Se-kyung’s premarital pregnancy rather than her marriage, and rumors and gossip at the level of tabloid reports about the two quickly spread.
Since Se-kyung was often seen at clubs, rumors ranged from questioning whether the child was really the man’s to speculating that she was using the pregnancy as an excuse to become the daughter-in-law of a chaebol.
Se-kyung’s image, which was on the rise with “Elegant Family,” was suddenly plummeting.
“I wish the marriage would break apart like this.”
The fact that JK Group’s son was Se-kyung’s partner – was that a joke?
Joo-hee chuckled and pursed her lips, then, while checking a few more articles, her phone screen changed, and Nakyung’s name came up. Joo-hee lightly pushed the call button with her thumb.
“Hey, Nakyung.”
Is it you? The one who reported about Yoon Se-kyung?
Joo-hee furrowed her brows at Nakyung’s voice, which sounded unusually sunny.
“What’s with the sudden question?”
Yoon Se-kyung’s pregnancy rumor broke out, right? I wanted to know who reported it, an anonymous source or someone in an interview. Was it you?
Feeling uncomfortable with Nakyung’s questioning attitude, Joo-hee responded curtly.
“Whether it was me or not, why are you so excited to call about it?”
Seeing how upset you are about my question. It is you, right? That’s what you said.
“…”
Is it because of what I said about Yoon Se-kyung coming to the hospital that day?
Why is she like this again?
As a sigh escaped from Nakyung’s mouth, Joo-hee rubbed her temples as if tired.
“Nakyung, I don’t understand why you’re getting so mad. You keep taking Se-kyung’s side every time we talk. Frankly, it’s a bit unpleasant. You know how difficult my position has become because of her.”
So just because I’m your friend, I should always take your side and say you did well?
“…”
You should only go along with it to a certain extent. You work in the same entertainment industry; did you think about what kind of comments you might hear if the news of pregnancy came out as an article? Really, because of what I said to you that day…”
“Did I do it without knowing?” Joo-hee cut off Nakyung’s words sharply. From the other side, a voice saying ‘What?’ in confusion could be heard.
“I did it knowing everything. I told you to let Yoon Se-kyung get some criticism too. It’s unfair that I’m the only one receiving it.”
You’re really…
“Are you doing this to me now because you feel sorry for Yoon Se-kyung? Thinking I just followed your words? Don’t worry. I didn’t do it just by listening to you. And if you’re going to say such things in the future, don’t bother calling. It’s annoying.”
Joo-hee, wait…
As if she didn’t want to hear anymore, Joo-hee coldly hung up the phone. Staring intently at her phone, she soon began to leave the house with her hat pulled down tightly.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
