Ra Jin tensed her lips, trying to hide her trembling heart.
Jae Heon was just seriously discussing the business trip.
So there was no reason to be excited, no reason to blush.
‘Pull yourself together. This is a company.’
Composing herself, Ra Jin returned to her role as a ‘secretary’ and politely spoke to Jae Heon.
“If you inform me of the location and schedule, I will prepare accordingly.”
“We seem to be visiting a ranch located in Hoengseong, Gangwondo. A friend who has been close for a very long time apparently operates it. Chef William is expected to stay in Korea for about a week, and we will go down to Gangwondo from next Friday to Sunday for two nights and three days to persuade the chef.”
However, at his words, the tightly held reins of her heart were instantly let loose.
Being with him for two nights and three days in Gangwondo…
Thinking about the hot and dangerous look in Jae Heon’s eyes when they were alone, she felt her body heat up as if her blood was boiling.
Who could have imagined?
That he, who appeared so cold and indifferent, would hide such a deep and intense gaze.
“Prepare well. This is an opportunity to clearly outdo Seo Ju Hoon.”
And then, the moment Jae Heon’s eyes shone sharply.
She immediately blamed herself.
The only thing on that man’s mind was work.
And yet she was entertaining wild thoughts in front of such a man.
As soon as he arrived at work, Jae Heon would have completely forgotten about their agreement and switched to work mode.
So she should do the same.
“Yes, I’ll do my best.”
With her head bowed, Ra Jin left the office as quietly as possible.
With a clack, the door closed.
At the same time, Jae Heon’s heart, which he had barely managed to hold onto, was suddenly released and opened.
“Sigh….”
Frowning, he roughly loosened his tie as if he felt suffocated.
For Jae Heon, who was always composed even when he was alone at the company, it was a quite shocking act.
Seeing Ra Jin, he was constantly thirsty and desperate, it was very hard to bear.
Why did his hand keep reaching out to her on its own?
And it wasn’t even night yet.
The same was true for his eyes that moved on their own.
His gaze constantly went to her lips and the scarf that covered what seemed like traces left by him, to the point of madness.
Despite dressing so modestly that not a single piece of her skin was exposed, Ra Jin was extremely tempting.
Maybe she wasn’t a person, but a monster or something similar.
If not, she couldn’t have taken all his nerves in just one day.
‘Did she take my aura? So that’s why her eyes sparkle, there’s a glow on her skin, and she looks so cute?’
Jae Heon, a relic theorist, was greatly affected by Ra Jin to the extent that he would make such ludicrous thoughts.
No, she didn’t just make him have absurd thoughts, but she led him to act upon them.
That was why he had planned a 2night, 3day business trip with Ra Jin to Gangwon Province.
The reason Jae Heon was highly rated was because, unlike other chaebol children or his uncle’s son Seo Ju Hoon, his relationships with women were clean.
Even if you raked him over the coals, not a speck of dust would come out, his thorough personal life management was one of his strong weapons.
But… a trip to Gangwon Province alone with Ra Jin, ah, no, he personally took on the business trip.
‘I’m crazy. I’ve lost it. I’m not sane.’
The problem was that he didn’t think about canceling.
Jae Heon’s gaze went to the closed door.
He was curious.
Unlike last night, what was in the head of that woman who hid her emotions so thoroughly.
‘Even a little… would she think the same as me?’
((()))((()))((()))
Seeing Ra Jin leaving the office, Yoon Hee jumped up from her seat with a ‘Heek!’.
“Director, are you okay? Your face is pale!”
Oh my, Yoon Hee made a fuss.
“What on earth happened in there? When you went in, you didn’t seem so upset.”
“I think I need to prepare for a business trip.”
“Where to, and for how many days?”
“Gangwon Province, 2 nights 3 days. From next Friday to Sunday.”
“So sudden? Am I going too? Or should I call Team Leader Park?”
Yoon Hee thought naturally that others would accompany them, because Jae Heon and Ra Jin never went on a business trip alone.
“No, no need for that.”
“Huh? Ah, are you going with someone from another department this time?”
“I’ll be going alone.”
There was a moment of silence.
Seeing Yoon Hee gaping at her, Ra Jin became anxious.
Surely, she wouldn’t have noticed the strange atmosphere between Jae Heon and herself?
“Director.”
Seeing Yoon Hee’s serious face, Ra Jin unwittingly bit her lower lip.
She was embarrassed about the times when she had told Yoon Hee to strictly distinguish between public and private matters and to concentrate only on work.
What to do. What should I do. That time when she was so worried.
“I love you.”
“…Huh?”
“And I respect you. You are my, no, the hero of our entire company. To bear that heavy burden alone….”
Yoon Hee’s eyes filled with tears as she held both of Ra Jin’s hands.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
