“Our aunt decided to work at Representative Sir’s house starting next week.”
Sooyoung said, sipping her coffee. In front of Woojin was an iced coffee, but for some reason, he hadn’t taken a sip.
No, it’s been quite a while since he didn’t drink iced coffee. Yet, he always asks for coffee when it’s 4 o’clock.
“Seol Ji-hyun is lucky.”
As if Woojin was muttering for her to hear, Sooyoung widened her eyes and asked.
“Why?”
“Your house will get cleaner. She was good at cleaning.”
“Pfft. Is this place not clean? I clean so hard.”
“Roughly. Even if you clean hard, it doesn’t show.”
“What are you saying? It’s perfectly clean. Do you know what my house looks like when I don’t come for a whole week?”
Then, Woojin’s gaze turned cold.
“Just don’t come. I can call a lawyer.”
“Oh, really, am I not scared anymore since I’ve been hearing those threats so much? If Seol Woojin calls, will I come? Is he a lawyer grandfather?”
“Should I call once? To see if he comes or not?”
When Woojin took out his phone, Sooyoung spoke as if in disbelief.
“Yes, call. Call the lawyer. If I talk to a real lawyer, I will…”
When the phone beeped, Seol Woojin spoke in a slightly thick voice.
“Is Lawyer Lee Ihwajin there?… Yes. I’m Seol Woojin. If I may talk to… Yes, I’ll wait.”
“What, what is it? Are you really talking to a lawyer?”
As Sooyoung pondered, Woojin quietly brought his finger to his mouth, then immediately turned on the speaker.
“Lawyer Lee Ihwajin? This is Seol Woojin.”
“Yes, I’m doing well.”
As the lawyer answered the call, Sooyoung didn’t know what to do and was making small noises.
“Are you crazy? What if you really call a lawyer!”
However, Seol Woojin, who seemed to fix his gaze on her, brought his finger to his mouth again, and after lifting it, he directly switched to speakerphone.
“I wanted to ask something. How much can you claim in penalties if someone quits the job they signed a labor contract for, including compensation for business losses and mental damages?”
Sooyoung’s face turned increasingly pale.
“Of course, including compensation for work-related losses and mental damage.”
Woojin’s words dropped, and the lawyer’s serious explanation continued for a while.
Sooyoung couldn’t understand the terms, but Woojin listened carefully, occasionally confirming if he understood.
When the lawyer finished explaining the criminal punishment, Woojin politely said goodbye and hung up.
Throughout the call, Sooyoung had no idea what to do.
“Are you crazy? Really calling a lawyer… Is Lawyer Grandpa that free?”
Not really. However, Woojin got to know the lawyer naturally while writing web novels and asked for legal advice.
“Of course, this was partly due to Chairman Seol Majung’s instructions.
When Chairman Seol Majung heard that Woojin was only at home writing, he immediately connected him to a lawyer and sought legal advice.
After his novel gained significant popularity as a web novel and was published as a paperback, Ji-hyun gave the book as a gift to both her grandfather and Lawyer Lee Ihwajin.
Since then, the lawyer’s response to Woojin’s calls became even more proactive.
“You know it’s not a lie, right?”
Seol Woojin was genuine about everything, even the threats. While Sooyoung was unable to respond, he summed up the situation with a single phrase.
“Do well.”
Angrily, Sooyoung’s fist trembled, but Woojin casually felt around the coffee cup in front of her, then took a sip of the coffee she left behind.
“Leave yours and drink mine! Why are you drinking mine!”
In her frustration, she acted as if her coffee had been stolen like a bunch of candy being taken away.
However, Woojin calmly said whether she complained or not.
“Mine is too cold. I like yours because it’s warm.”
“Still, it was mine to drink…”
“I said it’s okay. You’re fine.”
A man who had just threatened her directly and even called a lawyer was now delivering sweet remarks. Sooyoung couldn’t help but think if he wasn’t a fox reincarnated as a person.
“You’re fine. Just now, I was threatening…”
Hearing Sooyoung’s softened voice, Woojin took another sip of coffee. A simple fellow.
“That was telling you the reality.”
With Woojin’s words, there was silence between the two.
When the conversation breaks off like this, you should drink coffee, but because Woojin took Sooyoung’s mug, she couldn’t.
On the other hand, Woojin drank the completely cold coffee, which she had left behind after drinking some, with ease.
Watching Woojin drink the coffee she had been drinking, Sooyoung’s heart fluttered. It was like an indirect kiss. So, she spoke up.
“Even if Representative Sir’s house gets cleaner, Seol Woojin, aren’t you better than Representative Sir?”
“Why?”
“Because I’m here.”
Feeling like she might have pushed too hard, laughter hid in the end of Sooyoung’s words.
However, Woojin remained silent, fixing his gaze on her face.
Covered by long eyelashes, his golden eyes blinked slowly, then suddenly, he raised the knit sleeve and began to stroke his own arm.
“What are you doing?”
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.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
