Danwoo, who had said he would only stay for a moment, ended up returning to the penthouse well beyond two hours.
Hurrying up to her apartment, Jian, like a cat burglar, entered the living room, stifling her footsteps.
She casually opened the refrigerator, as if someone who came out to drink water in the middle of the night.
“Oh! I’ve been caught.”
Even though Danwoo’s affectionate actions were something no one else would ever know, Jian always sensed them.
Jian quietly sat beside the deeply sleeping Jenice and opened the messaging app.
[Did you get home?][Yeah. I’ll call you tomorrow.]
Jian was about to close the messaging app when she saw the name of Han Jun a few lines below Danwoo’s name.
[It’s Seoul. I’m alive, so stop calling.]
A few days ago, the text from Han Jun coincided with the day he had been to Danwoo’s office. Perhaps Han Jun knew that Danwoo would convey my story.
Nevertheless, it seemed like he sent the text to assert that they had no reason to meet.
“Don’t worry about me and take care.”
‘I never wished for an end like this.’
Even if we were to meet briefly in passing, would there be a day when we reminisce about us now?
Jian wanted to believe that such a day would come.
There was a time when she thought that if she distanced herself from Han Jun, she would be isolated from the world. She believed that everyone would blame her and turn their backs.
Be good to Han Jun, who might become a broken marionette doll.
Jian mumbled unintentionally.
“I must be crazy. To have had such thoughts.”
Jian was surprised at the fact that she had been so pessimistic.
In reality, being separated from Han Jun was by no means pessimistic.
Su Min and Yu Jin, who stepped forward in my absence, and Jenice, who was still sleeping like a log, became part of my life. Moreover, the people I met through the publishing company, library, and academy were filling my life.
“I was such a fool to think I couldn’t live well like this.”
“Huh? What did you say? What?”
Jenice, tossing and turning, asked what Jian was talking about.
“No, I didn’t say anything. Is the bed uncomfortable?”
“It’s not that uncomfortable. If you’re sensitive to changing beds, you can’t perform. I spend more than half the year sleeping in hotels.”
“That’s true.”
Jenice, as if telling her not to say anything more, turned her back.
Only then did Jian put down her phone and lie down. She looked at the ceiling for a while, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Late Sunday afternoon, at the end of the weekend.
Taeyoon entered the library of the penthouse, holding a tablet.
Danwoo gestured with his finger, pointing at the phone, indicating that he was on a call.
During the call, Ace Sa Michael’s name was heard intermittently.
After a short while, when the call ended, Taeyoon asked, “Why did the chairman call?”
“I just gave my greetings because we haven’t heard from each other in a while. Also, to thank Jiyoung for her work.”
During the time when Jiyoung sued Woojung Hyun, Chairman Michael criticized the investigation that dismissed J’s incident as a simple robbery.
His interview sparked significant public criticism in the United States against Woojung Hyun and the Hae Song Group.
“Why did you come up for such a trivial matter? It’s the weekend; just relax.”
“They asked me to check the house. If it’s a house, it would be more uncomfortable than the penthouse. Are you really okay with it?”
Danwoo chuckled softly, making a deflating sound.
Since when did he live in such an extraordinary house?
Even the apartment he lived in before the Eagles League became famous in the United States was quite humble.
“Is there anything wrong? I’ve lived in a bigger house. Since you don’t like spacious houses, there’s no choice.”
“Are you thinking about marriage with Jian? Then choose a house where you can live together.”
“Why in the same house? My mother doesn’t like it, and I don’t either. Even if I get along well with my mother, we should live separately.”
He added, looking at Taeyoon, who habitually deeply involved himself in his superior’s affairs.
“I’ll leave it. I’ll discuss it with my mother.”
“You spent the whole weekend at home?”
Taeyoon teased, saying that he was pushed back again in terms of priority for Jian. His gaze also seemed to reflect that.
“Stop talking nonsense and go down. Since I told you to report tomorrow morning, did you have to come up and turn everything upside down?”
Danwoo, giving a hint, recalled Jian, whom he didn’t want to part with last night.
“Not for a day or two, but I can’t live like this. Really.”
Three weeks had passed since Jian went back to Lake Tower.
Not being able to spend weekends together while living together was different from the situation at that time. Then, at least, the night belonged exclusively to Jian.
Although it might look like he couldn’t enter the worn-out state of affairs, it wasn’t the only reason.
His body, already accustomed to Jian’s body temperature, instinctively sought her.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
