She was so forcibly pushed away that her body swayed.
Yet he didn’t blink an eye and even frowned as if annoyed.
His gaze was filled with so much contempt that one might think he got something dirty on him.
“Ah…”
Seo Yeon’s face flushed red.
It wasn’t out of embarrassment or shame.
Even in such a situation, Jae Heon’s appearance was dazzling. His frowning expression even seemed sexy.
Indeed, the only man who suits me is Seo Jae Heon.
Seo Yeon, born as the youngest daughter of the Do Moon Group, had decided that the peak of her perfect life’s path would be Jae Heon. Only such a splendid, strong, and capable man was worthy to be her mate.
But it wasn’t just for that reason. The memory of the day she first met Jae Heon was still vivid in Seo Yeon’s mind.
“Why don’t you stop wasting time and get up?”
Could he know how much strength she had drawn from that casually spoken word?
The weather, the temperature, even the time when the darkness started to settle, all were clear in her memory. Especially his jet-black hair and eyes.
To Seo Yeon, Jae Heon was like a dark prince.
“Do you know that physical contact without the other person’s consent is harassment?”
“Ha, harassment? I had no such intention. I apologize, I thought I had to grab you, so…”
“What is it.”
Jae Heon’s voice, cutting off Seo Yeon’s words, contained a warning to state her purpose concisely.
“Didn’t you hear me calling you?”
“I did.”
“No, you didn’t.”
“I did.”
“What?”
Jae Heon, narrowing his eyes, glanced at his wristwatch.
“Are you done talking?”
“No! I haven’t even started!”
“I heard the project results were good.”
Seo Yeon blinked her eyes wide open at the unexpected compliment.
“Why bring that up now…”
“Apparently, it’s not due to your skills.”
“What, what did you say?”
“If it were, you wouldn’t be wasting someone else’s time like this.”
Nuisance. The word made Seo Yeon clench her fists.
But it was only for a moment… Ridiculously, she found herself smiling.
Having always dealt with people eager to impress her, the candidness of this man was refreshing.
Though a bit harsh, he was at least honest and unpretentious, making him even more desirable.
“Do you remember when we first met?”
“30 seconds.”
“What?”
“If you can’t produce something meaningful within that time, you’ll regret holding me up for a minute.”
There’s no way he would let this go.
Jae Heon gritted his teeth, vowing never to forget that his steps towards Ra Jin had been delayed by a full minute.
“I can give you everything you want, Director Seo, I mean, Jae Heon. Whatever it is…”
“Get the titles right.”
Jae Heon abruptly cut off Seo Yeon’s words again.
He felt utterly uncomfortable. The only person who could call him ‘Mr. Jae Heon’ so intimately was one.
“Ah, yes. That’s—”
“Get to the point.”
His knife-like gaze sent a menacing warning, indicating that he would not tolerate any more sidetracking.
Seo Yeon’s red lips opened wide as she took a deep breath.
“Let’s get married.”
Upon hearing those words, Jae Heon quickly turned away. Seo Yeon urgently blocked his path.
“Don’t you want to definitively best your uncle?”
“I never gave permission. You keep crossing the line.”
“Think about it. Consider the benefits you’d gain from marrying me. Do you know that Executive Director Seo Ju Han has proposed to me?”
Caught off guard by the unexpected character, Jae Heon tilted his head.
“You didn’t know, did you? How much he’s been courting me…”
“I know.”
“You do? And yet you treat me this way? If I accept his proposal, it’s going to be tough for you, Mr. Jae Heon…”
“Address me properly.”
“…It’s going to be tough for you, isn’t it, Senior Manager Seo?”
Seo Yeon was right. If the Do Moon Group sided with his uncle, even if Chairman Seo supported him, the neutral executives and shareholders might sway.
Sensing that Jae Heon began to pay attention, Seo Yeon inwardly smiled.
Indeed, victory was certainly on her side once again.
He would marry her. Definitely.
“Marrying me brings more gains than losses. In fact, there are no losses. Reputation, influence, and even the synergy from collaborating with the Do Moon Group.”
“…”
“I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t someone as calculative and thorough as you, Senior Manager Seo, accept my proposal?”
Seo Yeon flipped her hair back.
“And it might sound self-praising, but I think I’m the best daughter-in-law material, with good family background, educational qualifications, and looks.”
Ah. Overconfident.
Even his flawless secretary never said anything like that.
“But most importantly, I genuinely like you, Senior Manager Seo. Most strategic marriages end up like business partners, but I’ll do my best to build a happy home with you. To become a real family.”
A real family.
Somehow, those words struck deep into Jae Heon’s heart.
He hadn’t listened when his grandfather said it before…
Why did that word resonate so clearly now, when he’s contractually dating Ra Jin?
‘…Marriage, huh.’
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.
