After dinner, Eunseo and Seungju went out to the end of the veranda, sat down, and looked at the stars while sipping warm tea.
Due to the abnormal temperatures, the weather, which had remained warm until late, gradually became colder as November approached its end. The night breeze that felt refreshing until a few days ago now felt chilly and damp.
“It’s gotten quite cold. We might not be able to stargaze for a few more days.”
“That’s true.”
As Seungju replied, she suddenly noticed something crawling beneath her feet. It was a centipede.
Having seen girls make a fuss about centipedes a few times in middle school, Seungju knew that girls disliked centipedes more than cockroaches.
An idea struck her in an instant. Seungju pointed at the centipede and deliberately shouted loudly, “Oh, a centipede!”
Fortunately, the centipede responded appropriately by leaping away.
Seungju opened her arms wide and waited. Eunseo was supposed to come running, surprised, and she would then embrace her, saying, “It’s okay; I’m here to protect you.”
However, instead of running over, Eunseo quickly rushed to a corner of the veranda, grabbed a newspaper, and casually swatted the centipede away.
“Anyway, that’s why houses with yards are not good. All kinds of bugs… Seungju, are you okay?”
Seungju felt like crying.
“Did you see the news article yesterday?”
Suna sharpened her teeth and pushed the news displayed on her phone in front of Eunseo.
“They’re creating a buzz, calling the eldest son an executive and the second son an ordinary employee!”
Suna was so furious that she didn’t know what to do.
As Eunseo read the article carefully, she was also amazed. Oh, so this is what they call media play.
“If someone sees it, they’ll think the eldest son is being treated well, and the second son is in a tough spot. They don’t even know how much he’s been suffering, being sent to our failing company as an executive.”
“I know!”
In response to Eunseo’s words, Suna fervently agreed and asked, “By the way, Seungju. Do you know that Kwon Seunghyun joined our company?”
“I know. I search for news related to the company every day.”
A sister with a forgetful face. During dinner last night, Seungju had just said this.
[I think someone came to take my place. I should quickly go back to the company.]The article also mentioned that Kwon Seunghyun joined the planning team. So Seungju knew that Eunseo and Suna would be working with him. What she didn’t know was that Eunseo would be in charge of Kwon Seunghyun’s training. She couldn’t bring herself to say that part.
Suna clenched her fist.
“Leaving the main office and coming specifically to our company—it’s clear as day what his intentions are. If it were up to me, I’d just…!”
“Good morning.”
Suddenly, the voices reached them, and the two turned around in surprise. Kwon Seunghyun, smiling from behind, stood there. With gently flowing bangs and a slim body perfectly suited to the deep brown suit, he looked effortlessly sophisticated.
“Is the conversation so interesting since the morning? Please let me join, seniors.”
Suna managed to smile at Seungjun’s stiff face.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Just talking about how cool Chris is, something like that… Right, Eunseo?”
“Yeah. I hope Chris debuts for sure.”
Eunseo, who didn’t even know what Chris looked like, echoed. Observing the two, Kwon Seunghyun looked at them with puzzled eyes.
“Who is Chris…?”
“Well then, excuse us. See you in the office later!”
“See you later!”
The two escaped to the office.
“Could he have overheard our conversation?”
Fortunately, the face Kwon Seunghyun showed when he entered a while later didn’t suggest that, and Eunseo sighed with relief.
She thought she should be careful with her words at the company from now on.
The last day of part-time work at the convenience store had come.
Excluding weekends, it had been ten days, so she worked for precisely two weeks, and during that time, the seasons had clearly changed. When she started, it was even hot during the day, but now it was an unmistakable winter weather. Several students were already wearing padded jackets over their school uniforms.
“Thank you.”
On the last day, while calculating the payment, the store owner seemed very regretful. Well, considering that Seungju had increased the sales for two weeks in just two weeks.
“You worked hard. If you ever need money, be sure to come to our store, okay? I’ll pay a good hourly wage.”
“Thank you, boss. I’ll stop by to say hello on my way sometime.”
Holding the precious envelope close to her chest, Seungju left the convenience store, quickening her pace towards the clothing store, not her home.
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.
