Having breakfast with his parents and going to work as usual, Jian sighed deeply, staring at the large monitor.
He was about to type ‘loan’ into the portal site’s search bar, but shook his head and hit the backspace key relentlessly.
The banking industry was already heavily loaned, making additional loans impossible, and he did not dare to deal with the highinterest third financial sector.
Although Seo Han Construction had an internal loan system, as it was rumored to have good employee benefits, it was not applicable to the newly recruited rookies.
It seemed best to discuss with his parents and look for a small villa.
If it wasn’t for my accident, I wouldn’t have had to sell a perfectly good house. And I wouldn’t have had to move like this.
A sense of guilt, always lingering in a corner of his heart, suddenly appeared and corroded his insides.
“Mr. Seo Jian, is something wrong?” Seokwon, who had been stealing glances at Jian’s somber face sitting at his work desk, spoke.
“Oh, no. Nothing… uh, Manager.”
“Tell me.”
“Have you ever looked for a house in the real estate market?”
“Well, I did a lot in the past.”
“Do you have any tips? I need to find a house to move to, but it’s my first time dealing with real estate.”
Even if he was accompanying his parents, he wanted to help by studying things like the parts to pay attention to when looking at houses and contracts.
“Are you moving?”
“Yes, due to some circumstances. I really don’t know much. Before the accident, it seems like all I did was cause trouble and now…..”
As Jian showed uncharacteristic signs of depression, worrying over and over, suddenly, the door opened.
“You’re here, huh!”
Jian, who had noticed Kanghyun before Seokwon who was engrossed in the conversation, got up from his seat and stared blankly at the handle of the carrier in his hand, then burst into a big laugh.
At the sight of Jian laughing suddenly, Seokwon, who was about to greet Kanghyun with a puzzled look, also briefly smiled.
Kanghyun, dressed in a neat doublebreasted suit, entered dragging a pink carrier with a nonchalant face as if he had no interest in anything, and stood in front of the secretary’s desk.
“I forgot my carrier yesterday.”
“Yes, I know… I should have contacted you first, but I was out of it yesterday.”
“Why are you laughing.”
Jian barely managed to hold back a burst of laughter.
The small pink carrier, with a character engraved in the middle, made its presence felt alongside Kanghyun.
Rather than realizing the effort Kanghyun made to bring it to the office, she found his actions cute, which was the first thought that came to her mind.
The worries that she had been having until now evaporated from her head instantly. She really was hopeless.
At the workshop too, and how could Tae Kanghyun be so cute?
“Haha, it’s nothing.”
Unable to directly tell Kanghyun her thoughts, Jian brushed it off and scurried forward to grab the carrier.
“The two of you must have been having an interesting conversation.”
While Jian pushed the carrier under the desk, Kanghyun watched Seokwon with an unhappy look.
Hemhem, Seokwon cleared his throat lightly and quickly opened the office door.
“Secretary Seo, I’ll take care of the schedule report for today, so you focus on your work.”
“Yes.”
Why you, leaving Seoyun behind.
Kanghyun, his brow furrowed tightly, ignored what Seokwon’s expression conveyed as the office door closed.
Seokwon seemed to be very displeased with the work that he, as the head secretary, usually did, which made him feel a bit resentful.
“Is there an important schedule?”
“Seo Jian is moving.”
“Suddenly.”
“He was renting the apartment he’s living in now. The contract period must be over. It didn’t look too good.”
Kanghyun, who took off his suit jacket and casually laid it on the leather stool, sat on the sofa in his vest.
“I said I’d give back the apartment I’m living in now if he takes the genetic test. After all, it’s Seoyun’s house.”
“From Seo Jian’s perspective, that house will be a burden.”
Regardless of the highend apartment that was out of reach even with a lottery jackpot, it was a house filled with traces of Seoyun and Kanghyun.
There was no reason to willingly accept a house full of stories, no matter the excuse of a genetic test.
“Seoyun said she wanted a studio, so I contracted a villa nearby.”
“A studio but a villa? And it’s a bit… for three people to live in a studio….”
“I don’t think it was a studio. It’s bigger than the apartment Jian’s parents are living in now.”
“You said Seoyun wanted a studio.”
Kanghyun, who loosened his tie a little, lifted his head.
“That’s right.”
The wish for a oneroom apartment was likely just part of an expression of loneliness. It was also a plea not to be left alone in such a large house.
She didn’t clearly remember whether Tae Kang Hyun at that time didn’t understand or knowingly ignored her.
It was undoubtedly a period when he had been neglectful of Seo Yoon.
At some point, Seo Yoon had naturally become someone who should be by his side, and due to longstanding familiarity, he did not properly take care of her.
He cruelly spun around a child who was trained to rush and hug him as soon as he spread his arms.
Even at her words that she needed a oneroom apartment, she had also wished to erase the memory of being harshly criticized while loving a selfish man who still insisted on holding onto the apartment.
“Prepare for the transfer of ownership. Whether it’s a donation or whatever, as quickly as possible. Arrange it in advance so that the assets of Seo Yoon who came under me can be moved without trouble later.”
“Do you think Miss Seo Yoon’s memory will never return?”
“No.”
“Then why the assets……”
Kang Hyun showed a serene smile with a deeply resigned face.
“Because even if the memory returns, it won’t return to me.”

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
