Chased by someone dressed as a ghost in the haunted house, I ran mindlessly and almost fell from a shabby railing.
And just before the final talk show, there was a confrontation with Oh Minjeong, and from the beginning of the shoot until a little while ago, only my hair wasn’t pulled out. I was relentlessly tormented by Oh Minjeong.
But now it’s Yoo Jung-hwa….
I don’t know why this day feels so long.
Although I’ve lost strength, Soyeon spoke with a clear voice.
“So, what do you want to say? Instead of wasting time, get to the point. As you heard, I’m busy.”
Perhaps feeling too composed, Jung-hwa seemed bewildered. Despite coming here to say these things, the somewhat disorganized words flowed uncontrollably from Jung-hwa’s mouth.
“To raise a child as a mother, you should at least understand the subject! Are you pretending to be the head of the family for Taeseo-jun? Do you think that person’s family will easily accept someone like an unmarried mother? No, it’s impossible. After saying this much, don’t you understand?”
“So….”
Refining Jung-hwa’s words again and contemplating them, Soyeon countered with a stern expression, devoid of gentleness.
“Are you begging me for Taeseo-jun right now?”
“What?”
“Or is there no reason for you to come here? But you came to the wrong person. I’d like to advise you to go to Mr. Taeseo-jun. If you’re confident, meet him as much as you want. Seduce him, take him over; do whatever you want. If that person wants Yoo Jung-hwa, I’m willing to step back. But for that, respecting his choice, not considering you, is the meaning. I have no regard for you.”
With a smirk, Jung-hwa raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you so confident? Do you think you can beat me?”
“To win or lose against a person, against a person’s heart? You really should know. Although everything you’ve done to me has been malicious and disgusting, your ‘strong over weak, weak over strong’ character itself is wrong. And yet, you don’t even know how nasty and ugly you are.”
“What…?”
Ah, malicious…? Disgusting? Nasty and ugly? Yoo Jung-hwa?
“Now that it’s come to this, should I tell you one more thing? Right now, you might look beautiful to everyone while you’re young, but as you get older, your appearance tends to rust. In the end, what remains on your wrinkled face will be the path you’ve walked. Dignified or ugly. Surely, Yoo Jung-hwa will be the latter.”
“Yes, how dare you…!”
A gentle lamb turned out to be a tiger that knew how to attack.
Realizing this fact at this moment, Jung-hwa stared at Soyeon with a rigid face.
“Pfft….”
Oh, our Soyeon is doing well!
The laughter that involuntarily came out couldn’t be hidden. Doh Soon, without making a sound, smirked and raised her thumb towards Jung-hwa’s back.
Very satisfying.
However, as the conversation continued, the tension escalated.
“If I break up with Taeseo-jun, can you get what you want over there?”
“Now you admit it. Eom So-yeon has an inappropriate relationship with Taeseo-jun….”
Yoo Jung-hwa, elongating her voice at the end, smirked and teased.
“It’s not an inappropriate relationship. Let’s be clear.”
“Loudly talking about someone else’s man.”
“Think about it realistically. Yoo Jung-hwa, how reckless you are. Taeseo-jun may not remember the past Yoo Jung-hwa, and even if I disappear and Taeseo-jun meets someone else, Yoo Jung-hwa won’t be it.”
“Who are you to guarantee Taeseo-jun’s feelings?”
“Currently, can I describe it as someone closer than Yoo Jung-hwa?”
Soyeon drew the sword of reality. Unable to tolerate Jung-hwa’s forced words, she couldn’t listen anymore.
“……”
Then, Jung-hwa, who had been talking so well, closed her lips straight, and her icy gaze pierced Soyeon’s face.
As Taeseo-jun tried to approach, he moved further away. The wretchedness that had never been properly captured in his eyes, which had never been focused properly, blocked his mouth.
But as long as Eom So-yeon was not there, the unfounded confidence that Taeseo-jun’s attention would return to me was still there.
“Turn it back! Leaving, breaking up, attaching everything, in the end, you’re saying you won’t let go of Taeseo-jun!”
“I don’t know what you think. If you have nothing more to say, please leave now!”
“Arrogant X!”
Jung-hwa, who spat out a loud voice, stood up from her chair not because of Soyeon’s demand to leave.
“Run hard wherever you want! It’s summer even for locusts! Just remember this! The person who will capture Taeseo-jun is not a single mother with a child but me! There’s only Yoo Jung-hwa!”
Now, it may seem like Taeseo-jun is yours, but soon you will realize it’s not. Anyway, I came to say this.
Having said what she wanted to say, there was no need to stay here any longer.
Bang!
Jung-hwa left the room, slamming the door shut.
The loud sound made Doh Soon and Soyeon involuntarily flinch.
“Oh, crazy! She crapped and fell asleep! She said she came to shake that JiX?”
“That’s right.”
Soyeon, who had been completely unaffected by the situation a while ago, responded calmly while packing the props to be carried in the car.
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.”
