The Temperature Difference with Him (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
Dan Woo, who hadn’t shown up at Play Round for over a week, stepped out of the elevator and headed toward the executive office.
Tae Yoon and the secretarial staff, stationed at the reception desk, instantly stood up and bowed.
He raised one hand slightly and entered his private office. Soon after, Tae Yoon came in carrying a box wrapped in cloth.
Dan Woo looked up as Tae Yoon placed it on the desk.
“I’ll explain this later. For now… Seon Ho’s side has started moving. They’ve officially announced they’re conducting an internal investigation into the Haesong Bio incident and have filed a motion to remove your mother from the board.”
“They’re trying to pin it all on Mom? But why make such an announcement now? …Ah!”
Dan Woo suddenly remembered he’d told Seon Ho he’d consider The Eagles’ merger proposal, leaving room for negotiation.
Was Seon Ho counting on that and buying time?
But that would mean clearing his mother’s name himself—how exactly did he plan to do that?
“And this is Korean traditional confectionery. The representative of Haesong Bio victims brought it. She asked me to pass along her thanks—her mother’s been making hangwa for thirty years.”
Tae Yoon added that the representative’s mother had switched to Haesong Bio’s Benier tablets for hypertension on her doctor’s recommendation, after which her heart condition rapidly worsened.
“What did I even do? I only placed ads with news outlets—that’s all. I did add a few words, but the final decision was theirs.”
“They must’ve believed you were telling the truth. And now the power of capitalism’s backed it up—Ace Corp ads plus The Eagles League e-sports broadcast rights? Everyone’s tempted.”
Tae Yoon continued, empathizing with the victims’ plight.
“Until now, the media just dismissed it as possible drug tolerance, so victims got slammed as greedy for compensation money. They had nowhere proper to raise their voices.”

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
