Woo-jin took a day off and was lying listlessly at home. He had no appetite or energy.
Among those most shocked by Chairman Kennedy’s press conference, Woo-jin was one of them.
They say the grass is always greener on the other side, and the proverb about a missed opportunity being a blessing in disguise. That’s how Si-hyun appeared to Woo-jin.
The woman who was highly regarded by such an extraordinary person, the woman he had considered his own until recently, now seemed too precious and regretful.
Somehow, the rumor had spread throughout the company.
[“Why is there such a fuss now about the future daughter-in-law of Ban Deo Lind Chairman? Kim Woo-jin, the former manager, was her fiance?”] [“No wonder. Why did they suddenly break off the engagement after sending out wedding invitations!”] [“What does Manager Kim have to offer? Over there, he’s much younger and handsome, not to mention wealthy. If I were a woman, I would break off the engagement a hundred times and go there.”]In the end, Woo-jin became the loser who had his fiancée taken away by the outstanding man. Every time he passed by, he couldn’t even hold his head up properly due to the murmurs he heard.
[“You should have done well while you had the chance. Why are you whining now?”]Even his mother, Jung Im, who always treated her youngest son like a treasure, openly criticized him.
In order to escape this disgrace somehow, there was only one way.
To regain Si-hyun!
Even though he wanted to rush over and cling to her now, the problem was that Si-hyun’s heart had turned away long ago.
[“I like Tae-ha, Oppa.”]When he went to visit her under the pretext of returning the security deposit, Si-hyun didn’t have the slightest lingering affection for him.
[“Oppa, it would be great if both you and I could be happy in our own places.”]Unable to do anything, he was groaning in agony when the door suddenly opened, and Jung Im came in.
“So, you’re not eating?”
A heavy object flew towards Woo-jin’s face as he uttered meaningless words, hitting him on the chin.
“What’s this?”
“Read it, and you’ll know!”
Jung Im threw a newspaper at him. After being criticized by Bora following her visit to the company, Jung Im had cut off her thirty-year-long subscription to Jo Han Shinmun and started subscribing to another newspaper.
“Sending off every woman he gets involved with, just like that. You know it well, right? Do it as you wish. Oh, my fate.”
Muttering complaints, Jung Im left the room, and Woo-jin looked down at the newspaper.
[Jo Han Shinmun 3rd daughter, Wedding March with Han Young Group 3rd generation]Seeing Bora’s name in the article, Woo-jin doubted his eyes.
“They made me like this, and now they say I’m getting married smoothly…?”
The anger that had been swirling in his chest, lost and with no direction to go, suddenly exploded towards Bora.
Yeah, all of this is because of her.
If only she hadn’t smiled like that when she took advantage of Si-hyun’s absence, saying, ‘Can I call you Oppa?’
If only she hadn’t begged to stay overnight at my honeymoon house, although she didn’t.
Shaking for a long time, holding the newspaper tightly, Woo-jin stood up and opened the desk drawer. Inside was a broken phone with a shattered screen.
It was the phone he had taken from Si-hyun that night when the wind blew open the door. The one she had left behind in their honeymoon house after rushing out.
“…”
Staring at the black, lifeless screen of the phone, Woo-jin looked at it for a long time.
[Star Icon]Three days before the wedding.
After the humiliation she had to bow to Si-hyun, Bora was now somewhat composed.
Fortunately, the prospective parents-in-law were nice people, and especially the future father-in-law was weak to Bora’s charms.
Unlike Chairman Kennedy, the squinting frog-like inspiration doesn’t sit well with me, but at least at this level, it seemed like she would become a daughter-in-law fool not inferior to Chairman Kennedy after marriage.
As promised, Kang Si-hyun seemed to have requested Chairman Kennedy. It seemed that the situation had been settled without any loss of advertisers, as seen from the publication of corrected reports and apology statements.
Even though he had spread malicious gossip so much, in the end, keeping the promise was, as expected of Kang Si-hyun, unfortunately out of luck. Anyway, Boram thought that pretending to be impressive was…
Anyway, now that the wedding preparations were all done, Boram spent her time every day with shopping and bride management.
Today, too, she was on her way back from the high-end membership aesthetic salon that her mother-in-law had arranged for her. It was a place where the annual membership for VVIP cost a considerable amount.
Although Boram had grown up quite well-off, her family’s wealth couldn’t compare to a conglomerate in terms of money. Experiencing the scale of a conglomerate for the first time made Boram extremely happy.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
