Ki Joo lightly pulled the handle of the front door of the main building and went inside. Although it was not visible to the eye, there was no doubt that everyone was busy. It was perfectly adjusted to the routine of Chairman Song Myung Hwan, who infamously had no morning sleep.
As evidence, Chairman Song came out of his room, fully ready to go to work right away. When Ki Joo greeted him, instead of responding, he opened the door to the study and went in. Ki Joo followed him like a shadow. As soon as Song Myung Hwan entered the study, he opened the window first. Then, he opened the first drawer of the desk and groped inside.
“This is scary. It’s a habit.”
Song Myung Hwan, who had been rumored to be a heavy smoker, had recently quit smoking. His physician had recommended that he quit either alcohol or cigarettes. It wasn’t surprising news for a gentleman who dreaded his health, so it was no surprise that he quit smoking. As if disappointed, Chairman Song rubbed his fingers and suddenly looked at him and said in a jesting tone.
“The one who quit smoking is the most poisonous one in the world. You are really toxic, aren’t you?”
“Well, it’s a preference food after all.”
Ki Joo responded nonchalantly. It was just a light Q&A before getting into the main point. Chairman Song also nodded as if to let it slide and then opened his mouth to talk.
“It’s simple and that’s good. Now, let’s hear about how you deal with your work.”
Chairman Song, who had put his thick and wrinkled hand on the window frame, looked back. Ki Joo opened his mouth without hesitation.
“Let’s put Han Seung Yoon just before the tax investigation.”
“It’s a huge risk. He’s Han Ji Chang’s son after all. If we poke him wrong, we’ll be like poking a beehive. Is there a way to just sift out that accountant bastard?”
“We will only sift out Kim Han Young. If we leak it a little to the media and thwart it before the investigation, there will be no backlash. If a crack occurs inside, Han Ji Chang, who is anxious, will rely more on you, Chairman. He’ll want to hold a stronger bond. Because he bet his life on the next election.”
Song Myung Hwan’s pupils gleamed as if what he said made sense. There could be no stronger bond than the marriage between Eun Chae and Han Seung Yoon.
“Here are the offbook accounts you mentioned before.”
Ki Joo put a thick envelope of documents on the desk. It was a tricky account to uncover, even excluded from the accounting audit. Chairman Song grabbed the envelope of documents with a satisfied face.
“Good work.”
After saying that, Chairman Song quickly dialed somewhere. He instructed to proceed immediately now that he had obtained the data. At the same time, he gestured to drink the prepared tea.
Ki Joo lifted the teacup, watching Chairman Song’s flushed face. He hid the smile on his lips with the teacup. Instead, he sipped the pu’er tea. His eyes were watching Chairman Song’s wrinkled face laughing loudly.
After finishing the call shortly, Chairman Song said in a tone of voice still with a laughing note.
“By the way, send Eun Chae alone tomorrow. Cancel all other schedules and only meet Han Seung Yoon. First, the body has to get close for the heart to get closer. She’s a girl with a face that’s worth seeing, even if she doesn’t have aegyo, so she needs to stick around often.”
Song Myung Hwan needs Han Ji Chang, and to gain his perfect trust, he uses not only his son Han Seung Yoon but also everyone around him thoroughly. Ki Joo’s thought moved towards Song Eun Chae, who was caught in an unfortunate plan.
The woman who made the absurd claim that she was drawn to a guy who was cheaper than the dirty rumors that she slept with Han Seung Yoon was funny.
No. It was funny that his eyes were spinning even with a blatant lie that was transparent.
Ki Joo laughed silently as he left the study. He was incredulous, even as he agreed to the proposal to eat together that seeped out before the door closed.
It was then that I heard a calm footstep. Song Eun Chae was slowly descending the stairs.
When I saw the woman radiating backlight as if it was an aura, I realized.
The reason why I was so shaken by such a blatant lie.
Song Eun Chae had not pretended to be a gem who knew men well within 2 years, nor did she have no filthy gaze when looking at men.
It was because she was a woman who faithfully fulfilled that lie.
The woman who came down the stairs walked towards the dining room as if looking this way.
She was a woman who had received a flawless education since childhood. Even when she hit her physical limits, she was brought up being instilled with the dignity of maintaining the right posture.
The invisible wall was sturdier than it had been two years ago.
When the woman passed by, a subtle floral scent dominated the surroundings.
Ki Joo grabbed her wrist like plucking a bloomed flower.
“Are you crazy?”
Eun Chae stopped but did not look at him as she asked. Ki Joo slowly followed the soft line connecting her forehead, nose, and lips with his eyes and answered.
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.
