After a moment of speechlessness, Eunseo brought Kwon Seungju into the house. Surprised, he stared at the large apple tree standing in the middle of the yard.
“What’s this tree? Who planted it? When?”
Eunseo first guided him to sit on the edge of the raised wooden floor of the main house, and she sat beside him. He continued to bombard her with questions.
“What’s going on? Who are you to have the keys to our house?”
Eunseo responded by just staring at his face.
“…….”
His face showed no hint of jest. Not that he was the type to joke around.
Far from joking, he looked very anxious and worried. The usual Kwon Seungju would never show such an expression, even if lightning struck above his head.
She wasn’t close enough to him to know the range of his expressions, but one thing was clear.
He was serious.
So this is like something out of a drama…
Taking a deep breath, Eunseo asked,
“What year do you think it is?”
“It’s 2007.”
Eunseo’s head spun. It was 15 years ago.
“Why are you asking that?”
Noticing something was off, Kwon Seungju’s face grew more anxious.
“Where do you remember being before coming here today?”
He answered haltingly,
“I was waiting for the bus to go to the academy, then I don’t remember anything. When I woke up, I was in a hospital, and a stranger was telling me she was my mother… I think I fainted from shock, and when I came to again, there was no one around. My body ached, so it seemed like there was an accident, but I didn’t seem badly hurt… I found some clothes and wore them, and walked home since I lost my wallet and phone.”
Eunseo then realized why the clothes Kwon Seungju was wearing seemed too small. They must have been left by his secretary while he was in the hospital.
“Um, Mr. CEO.”
Swallowing hard, she said,
“It’s 2022 now. You are thirty-three years old and the CEO of Daewon Construction.”
“What?”
He looked at her in disbelief. It’s understandable; no one would easily believe that 15 years had passed overnight.
How to convince him? Eunseo quickly pulled out her phone and showed him a news article.
“What’s this?”
“An internet article from when you became CEO two years ago.”
“No, this,” he pointed to the phone.
“Oh, it’s a smartphone. Think of it as a combination of a phone and a computer.”
Only then did he hesitantly look at the screen.
Seeing his own photo from fifteen years later, his face stiffened. Understandably, as he last remembered his eighteen-year-old self.
After intently reading the article, he looked around suspiciously and asked,
“Is this some kind of joke? How did you edit this?”
Eunseo wished it was a joke. An adult man claiming to be eighteen? If she didn’t know Kwon Seungju’s true personality, she would’ve thought he was playing a prank.
“It’s not a joke. It really is 2022.”
Eunseo quickly grabbed several newspapers from a pile in the corner. She had stopped delivering them but still received free copies due to her past connection with the local distribution center.
Perhaps the printed dates on the newspapers seemed more credible than the mysterious device. The man finally showed a look of shock after seeing the dates.
“….!”
“I’ve been living here for 15 years as a tenant, and I’m also an employee at your company.”
Kwon Seungju was speechless for a long time, his handsome face consumed by confusion.
After a while, he muttered disjointedly like a person out of his mind.
“Something felt off… all the houses in the neighborhood suddenly disappeared, replaced by huge buildings… even the gate color changed…”
Kwon Seungju stopped talking, looking like a person whose soul had left his body.
Imagine the confusion of losing 15 years overnight. Unable to think of any comforting words, Eunseo quietly waited for him to settle his thoughts.
After a while, he suddenly asked in desperation,
“What about my mom?”
“Pardon?”
“My mom and I used to live in this house together, but she left home and it’s been a year with no news. It was a big case, even on the news… the missing lady of a chaebol family… Do you know if they found my mom?”
Eunseo closed her eyes, wishing she didn’t know the outcome.
Unable to bring herself to say it, she resorted to the internet again. She pulled up an old news article and handed him the phone. His hand trembled as he took it.
A sharp, manly glint in his eyes soon filled with tears.
“Mom…”
The phone fell from his hands.
As the large man buried his face in his hands and sobbed, Eunseo watched with a heavy heart.
[Star Icon]Pyeongchang-dong, the residence of Daewon Group Chairman Kwon Yongcheol.
Upon returning home from work, Kwon Yongcheol’s wife, Jiyeonhwa, cautiously said as she took his suit jacket,
“Honey, shouldn’t you visit Seungju in the hospital?”
Kwon Yongcheol replied brusquely,
“You’ve already been, why should I go? He’s not seriously injured, and he’s regained consciousness.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!

*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
