Of course, Su-yeon had her suspicions. It probably wasn’t clinging so persistently because of mere memories of past love or the fact that she was Tae-ha’s birth mother.
But hearing it directly from him was entirely different from just speculating.
It was almost equivalent to a confession.
Su-yeon didn’t know what to do and eventually turned off the TV.
Doing unnecessary housework and organizing ingredients in the refrigerator, she moved aimlessly. However, even though her body was doing something else, her mind continued to be filled with thoughts of him.
She was no longer worried about Si-hyun and Tae-ha. Leon had perfectly shielded them as a father. After watching the press conference, she was confident that no one would throw stones at them.
Leon’s voice echoed persistently in her ears.
[I still love that person unchanged.]The man who had been disturbing her mind all day appeared at the store around the evening.
“Did you see my press conference? I told the secretary to let you know.”
“I saw it.”
Su-yeon replied, avoiding his gaze.
“Don’t worry about anything. The response to the press conference is very positive, so our children won’t be pointed at anymore.”
The man who had overwhelmed the audience so confidently during the press conference now had a gentle look, like an innocent puppy, as if to say, “When was I like this in front of her?” Su-yeon couldn’t even look at his face properly because her heart was pounding.
When Su-yeon continued to avoid his gaze, Leon looked uneasy.
“By any chance, did I cause you trouble by talking about you?”
She wasn’t angry. In fact, it was the opposite. She didn’t know what to say, so instead of answering, Su-yeon grabbed the hem of her apron.
“…”
When Su-yeon didn’t say anything, Leon sighed. It was a sigh mixed with self-pity, as if saying, “No matter what I do, it doesn’t work.”
“I’m sorry. I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”
Seeing Leon’s slouched shoulders as he left the store, Su-yeon’s heart became anxious. She felt like she couldn’t wait until tomorrow morning. She had to say something somehow.
Su-yeon rushed out of the store.
“Hey!”
Leon, who was about to get into the waiting car, turned around.
“You.”
Looking puzzled, he stared at Su-yeon’s face, and with almost no courage left, Su-yeon squeezed out a few words.
“…You were cool earlier.”
Muttering barely, Su-yeon rushed back into the store.
Her face was burning.
Like that moment when they first met on that hill, and she quickly turned away from him, embarrassed.
[Star Icon] The impact of the press conference didn’t merely end with extinguishing the scandal.In a world where even an ordinary foreigner appearing on entertainment shows and praising Korean food can gain popularity, Chairman Kennedy, who was also a prominent head of a large hedge fund in the United States, spoke fluent Korean and confessed his love for Korea and its people. He even declared that he would live in Korea until he died.
Netizens’ patriotism almost reached a lethal level. The nationwide affection for Chairman Kennedy exploded, leading to a significant increase in stock prices.
Korea Edu, the parent company of Union TA, recovered its stock price on the day of the press conference and turned positive. Stocks of the hotel and department store that Chairman Kennedy acquired continued to soar without knowing any limits.
The good looks of Chairman Kennedy and his son, Representative Yoon Tae-ha, also played a significant role in their popularity. Scenes from the press conference were reproduced into numerous GIFs, circulating through various communities, and every comment section became a contest of wit.
Amidst this, those with strong fan loyalty engaged in useless arguments, debating whether they preferred the father or the son. Numerically, there were slightly more people favoring Representative Yoon Tae-ha, but those favoring Chairman Kennedy were generally more vocal.
Lovers shed false accusations, and the stock prices of the companies owned by the father and son rose together. The media obtained good headlines, and netizens acquired memorable GIFs to lick for a long time.
Chohan Shinmun, which initially made a blunder, narrowly avoided a mass exodus of advertisers by prominently publishing an apology at the bottom of the front page.
For now, it was a happy ending for everyone.
[Star Icon]When Su-yeon and Leon appeared together in the market, chaos erupted throughout the area.
“Oh my, our chairman has arrived!”
Market ajummas left their stalls and rushed out, surrounding Leon. Even if a famous idol appeared in the market, the enthusiastic reaction wouldn’t be to this extent.
“Goodness, how do you attract the screen so well?”
“Our daughter went crazy asking us to take a picture!”
While Leon was surrounded by ajummas taking pictures, Su-yeon pretended not to notice, distancing herself and casually browsing through items.
“Chairman, try this.”
In the meantime, an herbal medicine ajumma shoved a suspicious black lump into Leon’s mouth.
“This is black ginseng, excellent for virility. Just close your eyes and eat it. I’ll treat you to our curry restaurant today for this.”
“Virility?”
When Leon smirked, the ajummas chuckled, holding their stomachs.
“Our chairman speaks Korean so well, but he doesn’t even know about important things!”
Some even slapped the back of the ajumma offering black ginseng.
“Anyway, he seems to need this, right, Chairman?”
“Yeah, there’s something wrong with our chairman.”
Su-yeon’s face turned red. Unable to endure, she held an empty basket and fled the market. While running away, Leon followed her and asked.
“What’s virility?”
Asked with a bright smile, Su-yeon seemed as if her face would explode at any moment.
“Why are you asking me? I don’t know either!”
I can’t live like this. As Su-yeon hurried her steps, Leon quietly whispered in her ear.
“…If you don’t know, shall I teach you?”
From the man’s lips that whispered, the scent of pungent black ginseng emanated.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
