Chairman Yoo, using Hae-joo’s incident as an excuse, was overturning the film industry unnecessarily and in anger.
It was comical that the head of GN himself would step forward in the scandal of an actress.
Only after Han Jin-tae’s car left did the two relax from their strained postures.
“Director, Han Jin-tae is famous even among businessmen.”
“I heard rumors, but I didn’t expect it to be that much…”
“There might be something behind it.”
“It’s a big problem. It would be better if it quietly passed by.”
“Director, there’s no law that says outsourcing staff must be Korean companies.”
“If that happens, the production cost…”
“Movies make a lot of money when they do well these days, right? It’s not like I’m investing for free.”
Only then did Director Kwak’s lips brighten.
The burden that had weighed on his chest for a few days due to Do-jun’s generous investment was lifted.
“I’ll buy you a drink. Let’s go together.”
With a nod, Do-jun and Director Kwak exited, riding in Manager Song’s car to a bustling downtown area.
It was well past 11 o’clock when the lengthy meal finally came to an end. Adding a bit of alcohol, Do-jun felt good after a long time. After sending Director Song off first and calling a chauffeur, he headed to the villa where Hae-joo was located. As the bright city lights faded into the distance, recent events flashed through his mind.
“When will it end?”
Do-jun had put everything on the line to reunite with Hae-joo. He expected it wouldn’t be easy, but he never anticipated that things would escalate to this extent. Choi In-ho, after being fired from Real Fact, was resisting the police investigation request. Despite the police requesting an arrest warrant, it was denied due to no risk of escape. As a result, Choi In-ho bought himself some time.
From Do-jun’s perspective, it was an unacceptable outcome.
“This can’t go on like this.”
Lost in thought, the chauffeur-driven car arrived at the villa.
As Do-jun entered the front entrance, Hyun-seong, who had just come out of the restroom, bowed his head.
“Are you just arriving now? I was going to eat dinner and leave, but Noona is sleeping.”
“What about dinner?”
“We grilled some meat on the grill. It was really delicious.”
Recently, Hae-joo’s appetite had been improving. As long as the smell wasn’t too strong, she could have a normal meal. The housekeeper who worked for Hae-joo, helping her, was also staying here.
Hyun-seong, who enjoyed the feeling of being on vacation, sighed.
“Look forward to lunch tomorrow.”
“Oh, thank you!”
Because he had borrowed Do-jun’s pajamas, Hyun-seong felt like he was wearing his dad’s clothes. He had never been embarrassed about his height of 173cm, but he sighed every time he walked.
Seeing him like this, Do-jun burst into laughter.
“Good night.”
“Yes, please rest well!”
As Hyun-seong headed to the restroom, Do-jun went straight to the second-floor shower. After undressing in front of the shower, he turned on the water. Along with the flowing water, he let go of the uncomfortable feeling he had with Han Jin-tae. In a refreshed state, wearing only pajamas, he descended to the first floor.
He turned on the laptop placed on the table.
On the monitor, the video from the day of Hae-joo’s press conference in the waiting room appeared. “There are no secrets in the world.” Chairman Yoo was sitting in front of the chair he had set up next to the one who was sitting down, looking down on Hae-joo as if she were beneath him. Han Jin-tae, standing next to him, looked down at Hae-joo disdainfully.
On that day, Hae-joo had to be careful even while breathing.
Chairman Yoo forcibly stood her up and even threw away the wheelchair. The more Do-jun watched, the more his eyes rolled.
When he first saw this video, he wanted to go right away and knock Chairman Yoo’s chin guard off.
“Trash.”
As Do-jun contemplated what to do next, Hyun-seong returned to the bed.
Unexpectedly, during dinner, Do-jun’s revelation of Hae-joo’s pregnancy had become the talk of the evening.
“President Park Do-jun is really clever.”
Hyun-seong thought Do-jun knew how to keep Hae-joo’s pregnancy a secret until the end. However, the unexpected moment like this had various meanings. Hae-joo’s words during dinner were meaningful.

Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
