Warmth dripped like honey from Jae Heon’s eyes as he looked at Ra Jin.
She’s so beautiful, truly.
She’s already beautiful just by breathing.
And she’s so competent in her work.
There was a wall around Ra Jin. A wall of dazzling perfection!
“What are you trying to prove?”
“What?”
“Who told you to be so perfect?”
“Director! Someone might hear!”
“So? It’s the truth.”
Jae Heon looked smug as if he were wearing rose-colored glasses.
Well, he had a reason to be pleased.
Had Joo Han managed to popularize William Stewart’s recipe for the first time in the world, Jae Heon’s position might have been threatened.
“How did you do it? I was told William never changes his mind once he’s made a decision.”
Recalling her conversation with him, Ra Jin looked into Jae Heon’s eyes and said, “Sincerity.”
“Sincerity?”
“Yes.”
She simply spoke with all her heart and earnestness, without negotiating contract terms or raising the price.
“If you ever need my help, come to New York. Whether you come as a representative of Geon Yeong Foods or personally, it’s fine.”
“Really?”
“I never go back on my word. My grandmother always said I shouldn’t be that kind of person. You’re always welcome, Ra Jin.”
“Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind.”
Recalling her conversation with William, Ra Jin smiled faintly.
Jae Heon’s gaze became subtly anxious.
“Ra Jin.”
“Director, we’re still working, remember?”
“You didn’t, by any chance… did you?”
“What?”
For a rare moment, Jae Heon trailed off.
“Fall for Chef William or something…”
Huh? Why this sudden, baseless comment?
It seemed like he was teasing again, but he appeared to be serious.
Taken aback, Ra Jin was silent for a moment, prompting Jae Heon to press her.
“You didn’t? Why aren’t you answering? Could it really be?”
Hmm. Seeing an impatient Jae Heon made her feel odd.
Why does he look so cute?
Is this why he keeps teasing?
“Ra Jin?”
She tried hard to suppress her emerging smile and said,
“Well, Chef William is kind of handsome, isn’t he?”
Jae Heon froze.
“What did you say…?”
Handsome…?
“Being top in one field, managing himself exceptionally well, and even having a splendid voice. Isn’t he impressive to anyone who sees?”
Ha! Impressive to anyone? Tension crept into Jae Heon’s forehead.
“I’m also among the top talents in this industry.”
“Um, sure.”
“As you can see, my self-management is second to none.”
“Is it?”
“People have always said that had I not been in business, I might have been a broadcaster because of my amazing voice.”
“Did they?”
“Didn’t you notice during meetings? When I speak, everyone listens intently.”
Who would dare be distracted when an executive leading the meeting is speaking?
Especially the infamously cold Seo Jae Heon.
“I didn’t want to bring this up because it might sound childish.”
Seeing no reaction from Ra Jin, Jae Heon grew anxious.
“Then don’t say it. You don’t like childish things.”
“Do you know how bad it is to lead someone on and not finish what you started? It’s a bad habit.”
“Why are you speaking in a lower tone than usual?”
“Isn’t it? My voice has always been this deep, like it’s coming from an underground cave.”
Hmm. Ra Jin narrowed her eyes, looking skeptical.
“Anyway, I thought you’d know, so I didn’t mention it.”
The preface seemed rather grand.
“I’m not only one of the richest in South Korea but also internationally.”
Ra Jin tilted her head. Who wouldn’t know that?
“I own assets in various forms, from real estate, stocks, bonds, funds… too many to list.”
“I’m well aware.”
“William Stewart may be internationally renowned, but can he compare to the globally recognized Geon Yeong Group?”
“Pardon?”
“It goes without saying that I’m younger and healthier.”
“……”
So right now, Jae Heon was trying to promote himself as being superior to William Stewart.
And he was saying all this to his secretary chief, who knew about him second only to his
“And don’t you have great patience? To remain so calm, composed, and gentlemanly when your partner praises another man in front of you. Do you think there’s anyone else like that?”
As Ra Jin watched Jae Heon desperately promote himself, she bowed her head and giggled softly.
“You laughed just now? At what exactly?”
His confusion lasted only a moment.
Seeing Ra Jin laugh, something melted inside Jae Heon.
For some time now, her small laughter felt like a radiant light.
A warm, bright light that could shine through even the darkest places.
‘This is a problem.’
Going forward, whatever Ra Jin would say or do, that laugh could make him melt instantly.
“Just,”
Ra Jin spoke with a smile.
“Director, you’re cute.”
At that, Jae Heon grimaced as if tasting something sour.
“Every time I hear that, it baffles me. I haven’t been called that since elementary school, not even by my grandfather.”
“Why do you think that was?”
Ra Jin reached out and pinched his cheek.
“Because you’re this cute.”
Seeing her smile so sweetly, he couldn’t contain himself any longer.
There was a soft sound as their lips met.
Startled, Ra Jin tried to push him away, but he didn’t budge.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
