Presumably, Choi In Ho developed a grudge during the process of obtaining the black box footage involving Do Jun.
Choi In Ho’s actions were clearly targeted at Do Jun.
Caught in the midst, Jin Han had reached a point of no return.
Now that it had come to this, he had no choice but to go all in.
“Can’t help it.”
Just then, Hyun Seong, who had been searching for Hae Joo, came up.
Jin Han, concealing his expression, asked about Hae Joo’s whereabouts.
“Is Hae Joo still not found?”
“Yes. She doesn’t seem to be around here.”
“She left her phone behind?”
“Yes, she didn’t go home, so I’m going to look further.”
“How exactly?”
“We can’t just stay put.”
Hyun Seong handed over the car keys.
They were the keys to Hae Joo’s van.
“Why this?”
“I’ll be using my car. The van is too conspicuous.”
“Do you know a place where Hae Joo might be?”
“I’ll go to places she frequents. I’ll contact you later.”
Hyun Seong took Hae Joo’s bag from the reception room.
Despite Jin Han’s gaze following him, he didn’t look back.
He grabbed Hae Joo’s luggage from the first floor and rushed to Do Jun’s car across the main road.
“Chairman!”
“Ah, Hyun Seong.”
“Here’s her luggage and phone. Do you know where she might go?”
“Well, no place comes to mind right now.”
“I’ll also look around. Please contact me if you find her.”
“Hyun Seong!”
“Yes?”
Do Jun called out to the hastily departing Hyun Seong.
Do Jun looked down at his young face.
“Rest at home today, you must be tired from coming up from Jeju Island.”
“How can I do that?”
“Now, it’s my turn to take care. Thank you for being there for Hae Joo.”
“It’s nothing.”
Hyun Seong opened his wallet and took out a business card. It was the card of his elder brother Hyun Woo, who ran a gynecology clinic.
“This is the clinic where Hae Joo had her check-up today.”
“Is that so?”
“I’ve already talked to my brother, so if anything happens, you can contact him.”
“Alright.”
“Please, find my sister.”
“Okay.”
Hyun Seong bowed his head and turned away.
Returning to his car, Do Jun loaded Hae Joo’s luggage into the trunk and sighed deeply.
He then rummaged through Hae Joo’s bag, which was on the passenger seat.
A crisp, barely-used notebook caught his eye, and he pulled it out.
“A maternity notebook?”
He opened Hae Joo’s maternity notebook.
Inside was today’s ultrasound photo of the fetus.
His heart sank. Though he didn’t understand much, he instinctively knew the small being inside the bean-shaped circle was a baby.
“Oh my god…”
A child had come into being between Do Jun and Hae Joo.
It seemed he had never seen such a small and beautiful life before.
He smiled unknowingly, then his throat tightened.
His eyes began to sting and eventually turned red.
“Hae Joo.”
Do Jun felt the loneliness Hae Joo must have experienced while confirming the existence of their child alone.
He knew all too well how lonely and difficult it must have been for her.
He had embraced Hae Joo because he loved her.
He believed in her strength, despite her being a delicate person.
His mood sank endlessly. Suddenly, a memory flashed through his mind.
“Ah! The hotel…”
Do Jun had told Hae Joo to stay at the Rejin Hotel.
If his guess was right, Hae Joo might be at the Rejin Hotel by now.
Hoping that was the case, he started the car.
He was on the verge of losing his composure.
He needed to calm down, but after confirming the existence of the child, he was beside himself.
“Hurry, hurry!”
But the timing was a problem.
He kept getting stopped by traffic signals, making his journey a repetitive cycle of stopping and starting.
Anxious, Do Jun continuously wiped his reddening face.
He wanted to ignore all the signals and just drive.
He needed to meet Hae Joo and their suffering child quickly.
“Damn!”
Frustrated, he opened the car window and yelled.
His muscles tensed up, constricting so tightly it felt like his heart might burst.
After a long drive, he arrived at the Rejin Hotel.
Leaving his car with the hotel staff, Do Jun looked around the spacious lobby.
Sweating profusely, he approached the desk clerk.
“Has actress Lee Hae Joo been here?”
“I’m sorry, but I cannot disclose information about our guests.”
“I’m Hae Joo’s husband.”
Just then, the room manager, who was at the desk, stepped forward, seeing Do Jun’s anxious face.
“You’re Chairman Park Do Jun, right?”
“Yes, that’s me.”
“Normally, we don’t disclose our guests’ information.”
“But!”
“…Please come this way.”
The room manager wrote down the room number where Hae Joo might be on a note.
Do Jun nodded in thanks with a gesture.
Hae Joo, in a taxi, felt dazed. She was so disoriented that she didn’t even understand her own words and just wanted to lie down somewhere. She couldn’t hold on any longer.
The contemptuous looks and criticism had poisoned Hae Joo’s soul.
“Ma’am, are you okay?”
The taxi driver, concerned about Hae Joo’s state, asked while looking in the rearview mirror.
Her once beautiful face, now lifeless, barely managed to open her mouth.
“Yes.”
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.
