“Getting into Maehwa Center is now a matter of my pride. It’s not about the money. Do you think I won’t be able to get in because of that woman, Kang Ok Hee?”
Young Suk gritted her teeth and grumbled softly.
Hyun Seo had been tirelessly working all day.
Even though he had purposely kept himself busy with work he hadn’t been able to do for a while, he strangely felt as if he hadn’t done anything all day.
Perhaps the unexpected encounter yesterday had taken his soul.
Knockknock
At the sudden knock, he quickly collected himself and lifted his head.
“Yes.”
Director Kim entered, holding an unexpected box.
“Director, this……”
Looking at the box placed on the desk by Director Kim, Hyun Seo’s eyes lit up with curiosity.
“Mrs. Young Suk Han asked me to deliver it.”
“Mrs. Young Suk Han?”
“Yes.”
Hyun Seo already knew that Young Suk had just visited Songhwagung.
He had asked the employee responsible for tracking the members’ visits to notify him whenever Young Suk checked in.
So, he was always careful not to cross paths with her to avoid running into her.
He still didn’t want to show his face.
“Member Young Suk Han said to use it without feeling burdened. She said she hopes you will accept it.”
Without hesitation, Hyun Seo opened the box even before he could send Director Kim away.
Inside, there was a shopping bag with a famous brand logo on it.
With a feeling of disbelief, Hyun Seo peered into the shopping bag and his eyes widened.
“Chanel?”
Seeing the elegantly shining bag, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
In his life, he had received a bag from Young Suk.
During his married life, there was no soup or birthday gifts.
His motherinlaw, who always bought everything for her younger son’s wife Hye Mi. Whether it was with her own money, Chairman Chae’s money, or his elder son Do Ha’s money.
Inside the shopping bag, there was also a card carefully handwritten.
I’m making good use of Songhwagung.
This is a small token of my appreciation.
I hope to meet you when the opportunity arises.
I’d like to treat you to a nice meal for providing such satisfying service.
You’ll meet me, won’t you?
From Young Suk Han.]
After reading the tickling letter, Hyun Seo put the card back in the envelope and put it back in the shopping bag with the bag.
“Send it back.”
“Excuse me?”
“Please tell her I won’t accept it.”
“Ah… Yes, Director.”
Director Kim was rather embarrassed by Hyun Seo’s firm stance.
“Do I just tell her that?”
“Yes, that one statement is enough.”
No apologies, no accepting the thought, no policy to accept. Tell her to never send anything again, without any beating around the bush.
It was unexpected, given Hyun Seo’s usual equal kindness to every client.
“Are you sure about this, Director? That woman, Young Suk Han, doesn’t seem to have an ordinary character.”
“I know.”
“Ah, you know her? You know who she is?”
“A little.”
However, there was no way Director Kim could realize that Hyun Seo’s faint smile was close to a sneer.
“I see. Yes, anyway, I’ll convey that.”
Director Kim went out again with the box, and when the door closed, Hyun Seo even wiped off the bitter smile.
He shook his head in disbelief, even upon further thought of this situation.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
An unsaved mobile phone number appeared on the screen.
He briefly wondered who it might be, but as soon as he read the number accurately, he immediately recognized who it was.
Hyun Seo looked down at the screen with a perplexed expression.
He hesitated a bit, then touched the call pad, but didn’t speak.
“……”
Then the other party was the first to speak.
It’s me.
“……I know.”
The owner of the heavy voice was Do Ha Chae.
Yeah. I’ve never changed my number……
It was a number he hadn’t seen in a long time, even on his phone screen.
But unlike him, of course, Hyun Seo was using a new number.
“How did you know my number?”
The director of the research center knew it, your contact….
Hyun Seo nodded in agreement as if convinced. That’s right.
He had exchanged business cards with the director of the research institute. He must have asked there.
“But… why are you calling?”
He asked calmly, but the answer didn’t come right away.
After a slight pause, as if hesitating, Do Ha spoke.
I would like to meet…
“……”
Perhaps he had been anticipating this moment all day.
Despite being buried in work all day, he had a hunch.
“Why?”
He asked curtly.
I have a lot of things I want to talk about. Last time, there were too many eyes on us, so we couldn’t have a proper conversation. I have things I want to discuss if we meet, just the two of us.
His serious voice sounded filled with anticipation, which made him feel strange.
But what’s the point of all this?
Whether he does or doesn’t.
“Nothing will change even if we meet.”
……
“There’s nothing more we need to talk about. What I mean is, there’s no story you need to tell me, regardless of what you talk about when we meet.”
His own voice sounded surprisingly cold.
“Because we’ve already finished what we had to say.”
……
Do Ha listened to her words in silence. Then, after a while, he opened his mouth again.
But I… I feel like I haven’t finished any stories.
“……”
And in front of his words, Hyun Seo found herself at a loss for words.
I… I feel like I have a lot of stories I haven’t told. Stories that I’ve not managed to tell from a long time ago……
Hyun Seo found his words unbearably perplexing. The tips of her fingers holding the phone began to tremble.
What on earth was this man saying now?

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.
