“Why are you suddenly acting like this? I told you last time, is Mother looking for another match for me?”
Wow, our Young Master is quickwitted. As soon as I got home today, Mother started showing me pictures of some women. She said if there’s anyone good, she would introduce them to you?
“Tell her I’m too busy to meet anyone.”
You’re busy? Because of business?
“Yes.”
What business? Besides entertainment business, a love affair?
This sisterinlaw, really.
Tae Jo clenched his steering wheel tightly. Is this because he put on the perfume Se Kyung gave him last time all over his body? Or did she sense something……
No, that can’t be.
Tae Jo shook his head decisively. He hadn’t been dating Se Kyung for long. But how would Ye Ryung know anything about it?
“I’m busy with entertainment business. And it seems like you’ve temporarily forgotten, but I’m not just doing entertainment, I’m also making dramas and movies, you know?”
Hehe.
An odd, meaningful sound came through the phone, as if mocking. Somehow, it sent shivers down his spine, and he felt a stiffening sensation in the back of his neck.
But no matter how busy one was, if they wanted to, they would find time for love. Think about when Yoon Jo and I were dating. He would come to see me every day, even in the midst of his hectic schedule…
“But isn’t that thanks to the sacrifices I made for both of your love? Do you not remember that I took up the tasks my brother should have been doing?”
Oh, um… Was that so?
It seems she pretends not to know when things are not in her favor.
Tae Jo let out a hollow laugh. From across the street where his car was parked, a black van pulled up.
He fixed his gaze on the woman getting out of the car and spoke.
“Ma’am, I’ll have to hang up. I’m a little busy.”
Eh? Wait a moment, Tae…
Ignoring Ye Ryeong’s call, Tae Jo coldly hung up the phone.
He leaned on the steering wheel.
After Se Kyung got out and the van left, she, who had momentarily disappeared inside, reappeared after a while.
“What is she doing, that one?”
Se Kyung, closely hugging the pillar behind her, looked around as if on guard.
Anyway, her actions were catlike.
As if to signal that he was there, he blinked his emergency lights. As he slowly moved the car, she quickly hopped into the passenger seat.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“About ten minutes? Were you looking for me a while ago?”
“No, I was just worried that someone might be watching. I heard that there are famous celebrities living here besides me.”
“Do you think you can spot paparazzi by watching your surroundings like that? They all take pictures in hiding. If you’re so worried, why don’t you just come into my house?”
“Wow, so subtly…”
…Is he asking me to live with him?
Se Kyung gave Tae Jo a dubious look. He playfully tapped her nose and reached for the seatbelt.
“What about dinner?”
“Not yet.”
“Then you must have been starving since lunch.”
Se Kyung nodded her head. She had snacked on a few sausages in between, but that wasn’t a meal, after all.
“I have some meat at home.”
“Meat…”
Se Kyung salivated involuntarily. Tae Jo buckled her seatbelt for her and took hold of the steering wheel.
“Is there anything else you want to eat?”
“Um, I want some sweet fruit.”
“What kind?”
“Shine Muscat and…”
“And?”
“Apple mango?”
“You fancy fellow, you have expensive taste.”
Tae Jo started the car with a laugh.
“Ha, look at this. Now he just hangs up on me?”
Ye Ryeong sighed while looking at her disconnected phone. She had thrown out several baits and waited, but Tae Jo didn’t bite and skillfully escaped.
“I’m sure the two of them are somehow related.”
Or did our young master fall for her long ago?
“What are you doing here?”
Along with the soft voice, a thin cardigan was placed on her shoulders. Ye Ryeong pouted her lips and looked up at Yoon Jo.
“I was on the phone with the young master.”
“With Tae Jo? Why?”
“No, mother showed some pictures of women earlier and said she might introduce them to the young master.”
“Mother really. Even after he said no last time. But didn’t you say Tae Jo had a woman then?”
“Um. So I tried to poke him a little… asking if he has a girlfriend. But he doesn’t say anything?”
“Do you think Tae Jo will readily admit he has one? Or should I find out myself?”
“How would you do that? Ask him directly?”
“No. Through Woo Hyun or Seok Ju.”
“Um.”
Ye Ryeong tapped her lips with her finger, deep in thought. Both were Tae Jo’s closest friends, so if he had a lover, there was a good chance they would know who she was.
But, what if Tae Jo’s girlfriend was really Yoon Se Kyung?
Isn’t dating a signed artist similar to office romance?
Would he blatantly show it off?
“Why? Should I call them right now?”
As Ye Ryeong looked at him hesitantly, Yoon Jo took out his phone. She grabbed her husband’s hand and shook her head.
“No. Next time. After I figure out some things.”
She had a feeling that the two had some sort of relationship, but it was just a suspicion and not yet a certainty.
If Tae Jo was really seeing Se Kyung, she would need to know what kind of person she was.
‘So I can decide whether to help or not.’
So first, she needed to arrange a meeting with Yoon Se Kyung.
“Why are you smiling like that?”
“Huh? No. I just think something fun will happen soon.”
If she approached through Tae Jo, he might notice, so she needed to capture President Shim first.
With a mischievous smile, Ye Ryeong snuggled up to Yoon Jo.
After a greasy meal, Se Kyung was soothing her oily stomach by rolling a freshly washed Shine Muscat grape in her mouth.
“Who were you on the phone with earlier?”
“Earlier?”
At Tae Jo’s question, Se Kyung, her cheeks puffed out, blinked her eyes. Then, as if she just remembered, she began to chew again.
“Oh, when I was in the supermarket parking lot?”
When Se Kyung said she wanted to eat Shine Muscat grapes and apple mangoes, Tae Jo made a detour to the supermarket before coming home.
Thinking someone might recognize her, Se Kyung waited quietly in the car, and only Tae Jo went in and out of the supermarket.
And when he got in the car, he seemed to have heard her just finishing a call.
“It was my mom. She said she’d come up to Seoul now that we’ve moved.”
“When is she coming?”
“She was supposed to come on my day off… but the drama schedule has been brought forward, so I don’t know how my schedule will be. So, I just told her to come any day she feels like.”
“So it’s not a confirmed date?”
Tae Jo forked a piece of the neatly cut apple mango and put it in Se Kyung’s mouth.
“Yes. But I hope she comes on my day off. That way, I can pick her up from the airport. I’ll have to call her again when I see my schedule.”
Se Kyung’s mother.
When he first signed a contract with Se Kyung, he had only talked to her on the phone once as a courtesy, but he had never met her in person.
The conversation back then was as a company representative, so the atmosphere wasn’t bad, but he wondered what it would be like this time.
“You haven’t told your mother yet, have you?”

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.
