A large hand reached out towards her, matching her gaze. It was Dan Woo, who knelt on one knee, lowering his posture.
“Step aside. I’ll do it.”
“Boss. I’ll take care of it.”
Tae Yun also immediately lowered his posture. He caught hold of Dan Woo’s wrist and gave a small nod. It was to remind Dan Woo that there were people from Haesong Group.
Ha Joon looked at Dan Woo’s actions oddly. But soon he turned his gaze to Ji An.
Unfortunately, unlike when Dan Woo was giving his speech, the lights were bright. Ha Joon’s gaze landed on Eun Ji’s cheek which had been slapped. There was still a reddish mark left on her cheek.
A surprised Ha Joon reached out his hand.
“You, why is your cheek like this?”
Ji An, who had knocked Ha Joon’s hand away with a ‘thud’, looked at the three men surrounding her like a solid wall.
That dizzying feeling had turned cold and calm in an instant.
‘Just pretend you didn’t see it. Everyone is rushing over as if something big happened just when I’m finally pulling myself together. What else could it be?’
Ji An realized that the amazing situation where even hollow laughter would not come out was her reality.
There was only one way to get out of this situation. It was to keep her head down and continue what she was doing.
Since everything had been spilled anyway, she thought she could work with ease. So why run away in such a frantic manner as if you’ve done something wrong?
Recalling her foolish self, Ji An reached for the glass shard.
Despite Tae Yun’s discouragement, Dan Woo looked at Ji An as he took out a handkerchief.
“Give me your hand.”
As she pulled her hand away from Dan Woo, Ji An spoke in an emotionless voice.
“I’m fine.”
“Step aside. It’s dangerous.”
As Dan Woo pushed Ji An aside and dissuaded her again, Ha Joon’s pupils wobbled unstably.
Dan Woo’s informal speech was distinctly heard, containing a poignant worry. As his thoughts became entangled, Ha Joon turned his gaze towards Dan Woo.
Tae Yun called security to manage the situation, and grabbed Ji An’s arm.
“You should get treated in the medical room.”
As she pulled her arm away from Tae Yun, Ji An bowed her head.
She wasn’t confident, but she wanted to pretend she was fine, even though cold sweat was seeping from the back of her head.
As she straightened her body, she saw Genesis and her mother.
Ji An unknowingly bowed her head. It seemed like her mother would scoff at her, ‘You’re just doing this kind of thing here.’
It was a moment when her confident appearance of working became colorless.
She gave a formal greeting and avoided the situation.
“I apologize for the inconvenience. I’ll go to the medical room.”
“Sis, let’s go to the medical room. I said we’ll go together.”
“Thanks.”
Ji An grabbed the approaching Mi Kyung’s arm. The surroundings had been tidied up unnoticed.
Tae Yun preemptively blocked Dan Woo, and whispered into his ear.
“There are many watching. Either beat me here and go… today’s event is really important.”
“Do you think I can’t hit you?”
“Go home after the event. I’ll give you Miss Kim Ji An’s address.”
Ha Joon silently observed the actions of the two men. Naturally, Dan Woo’s body and feet turning towards Ji An, and his secretary blocking Dan Woo.
Ha Joon, recalling Dan Woo’s words, wore a baffled expression.
“Step aside. It’s dangerous.”
Shaking off his thoughts, Ha Joon looked around to find Ji An. However, he was a lawyer who attended for business purposes, and he was in the position of a subordinate who couldn’t leave his spot.
From the other side of the curtain in the medical room of Play Round, Ji An’s moans leaked out.
The process of expanding and cleaning the wound area with saline in a large syringe was quite painful.
“Ugh.”
“Just bear with it a little. We are doing this treatment because if there’s any leftover glass debris, it could be problematic.”
The medical room nurse picked up a magnifying glass to inspect the finger cleaned with saline.
“The wound is deep. Just to be safe, go to the hospital tomorrow and get a tetanus shot.”
She applied an antibiotic ointment to the wounded area and then covered the wound with a smallsized dressing band, opening her mouth as she did so.
“Make sure you don’t get it wet for a while. The medicine I’m giving you now is an analgesic antiinflammatory. It’s not so severe that it needs to be stitched, but you should get an antibiotic prescription.”
“Yes, thank you.”
The nurse nodded her head, moving her chair back. It meant that it was okay to go now.
“Sis.”
Hearing Mi Kyung’s worried voice from behind, Ji An turned her head at an angle and smiled.
“I’m okay, sis. I’m sorry, you were startled, weren’t you?”
“Why did you do that? Like you were possessed. The catering staff shouldn’t have left that there.”
“Will I get scolded by the manager?”
“Probably… I don’t think we can avoid that. Just block your eyes and ears. How are you? Ah! Also, they said you can leave work right away.”
“Really?”
That’s really a relief.
Ji An, holding back her words, laughed bleakly. Then she waved indifferently to Mi Kyung, who got on the elevator.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
