In response to Miju’s confirmation request, Chairman Kim’s expression hardened with a feeling of his insides crumbling.
“I’m sorry, Grandpa, I mean Chairman. It’s as Siyun said.”
Miju suspected that Siyun had already told Chairman Kim everything.
Before meeting Chairman Kim, Miju received a call from Siyun, but with her phone in her bag, she couldn’t answer the call.
When she tried to call back, Chairman Kim came out, so Miju felt like a player who hadn’t received coaching from the coach before going up on the ring.
‘I should have answered Siyun’s call… But he likes honesty.’
“Siyun is Siyun, and Miju is Miju. You each have your own stories you want to hear.”
After a moment of hesitation, Miju spoke.
“I’m sorry. It was awkward at first, talking about contracts and all, but now our relationship is no longer like that.”
A contract! The word “contract” came out of Miju’s mouth when talking about their marriage. Chairman Kim’s confusion deepened.
‘In the United States, Siyun and Miju were a beautiful newlywed couple who had just finished their wedding ceremony, but it was postponed due to a contract.’
Furthermore, with the opening ceremony approaching, Siyun was doing his best to finish work quickly and return to Miju.
Because it was the appearance of a new groom who loved his bride so much, even after hearing Byeongjun’s words about the suspicious marriage process, Chairman Kim had thought that it couldn’t be like that. But a contract.
“Then, did you plan your wedding photos and marriage certificate too?”
How would Siyun have talked about this part? It was unknown, but with the revealed fact, they couldn’t hide it anymore.
Despite deceiving Chairman Kim boldly and even creating a fake marriage certificate, Miju didn’t want to tell lies and face Chairman Kim’s inquiries again later.
“Well, that too…”
“Deceptive things. It’s a big deal. How can you go so far as to make fake wedding announcements and present them as real! I can’t accept the contract or marriage anymore.”
“I’ll talk to Siyun and wrap it up well.”
Miju pleaded for an opportunity with a sincere look. However, Miju’s idea of a conclusion and Chairman Kim’s idea of a conclusion would be different.
“Who on earth started this first?”
Miju hesitated for a moment but quickly answered.
“Siyun suggested it, but I actively embraced the proposal. It’s all my fault.”
“No matter how you say it, Siyun’s responsibility won’t be lightened.”
Chairman Kim’s disappointment and anger towards Siyun were palpable.
“No, Siyun is just a poor international student. My heart was more about helping a pitiful orphan.”
The phrase Miju disliked hearing the most in her life. Using the term “pitiful orphan” to describe herself, she wrapped Siyun in it.
Even so, Chairman Kim’s anger wouldn’t easily subside, but all Miju could do was lower herself.
“How long did you think I would be fooled?”
She didn’t expect this dream-like time to end so quickly, nor did she anticipate receiving Chairman Kim’s cold gaze after losing his trust.
Meanwhile, she worried that Chairman Kim might be shocked again.
‘His blood pressure shouldn’t rise…’
Miju looked around. Seeing Director Kim standing far away at the entrance of the garden somewhat reassured her.
However, once fallen, Chairman Kim couldn’t fall again for the same reason, and he sternly demanded, “Hand over the contract right away.”
Hand over the contract. Miju didn’t know how to interpret it, but she understood after hearing the next words.
“Siyun is the one leading the Taehan Foundation. He will live his life as an educator, a scholar. People can make mistakes in their lives. But a contract marriage. This problem will haunt him for a lifetime. Bring the contract now before it becomes more widely known and the issue escalates.”
He intended to supervise Siyun, who was living as an educator and scholar, to prevent any moral flaws from occurring due to a contract or fake marriage.
“If anyone with ill intentions publicizes the contract, Siyun will no longer be able to turn back. It must be eradicated from the source.”
Miju would give Siyun the contract when he asked. She felt self-reproach as this situation was partly her fault.
“Bring it today.”
Today! She hastily returned home and left her belongings unpacked, remembering that she entrusted the move to Danny.
“Um, today…”
“Why?”
“I didn’t bring the contract.”
“What does that mean!”
“I didn’t have time to pack in a hurry.”
Chairman Kim raised his hand, pressing his forehead and temples as if he had a headache. Anxious Miju checked the presence of Director Kim, who was far away.
“You left such an important thing behind?”
Chairman Kim’s tension eased with Miju’s actions, who was unaware of the contract’s importance or risks.
“Where did you leave it?”
Chairman Kim seemed about to send someone to retrieve the contract immediately.
“It might be on its way by boat, loaded with the household goods.”
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.
