Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 147
Seung Hyun calmly comforted Yeon Hwa, who had been listless for days.
“Don’t worry, Mom. There’s no evidence proving you did anything.”
The kidnapping of Kang Hye Sun had happened a full seventeen years ago. It was impossible for any evidence from that time to still exist. The only witnesses were Director Kim and Manager Choi—the two accomplices. The coroner who had falsified the bone remains as Kang Hye Sun’s had passed away last year. Those remains had long turned to ash, making DNA testing—and thus identification—impossible.
“That’s true. If there were any evidence, the police or prosecutors would’ve contacted us by now.”
After reassuring herself, Yeon Hwa turned to her son and asked,
“What about your future in-laws? What are they saying?”
“They haven’t said much. They must have done the math on their side and realized nothing’s going to change immediately.”
Yeon Hwa let out a sigh of relief for now.
Their in-laws had witnessed the chaos at the wedding ceremony firsthand. Beyond the humiliation, her husband was now at risk of losing the majority of his shares to his ex-wife—which meant Seung Hyun’s chance of becoming the heir to Dae Won Group was now in jeopardy.
That was why Yeon Hwa had been secretly anxious, fearing Tae Sung Group might call off the engagement. After all, everything she’d done was for Seung Hyun’s future—what good would it do if he got hurt?
“The two companies have already signed a binding agreement. It won’t be easy to back out of the marriage now. If they unilaterally cancel without clear grounds for breach, they’ll have to shoulder all the damages themselves.”
The special-purpose corporation established for the YC Tower construction had already received an initial loan of a staggering one trillion won. The agreement explicitly stated that if the marriage fell through and the project failed, the party responsible for breaking the engagement would bear the full loss.
This marriage wasn’t just between Kwon Seung Hyun and Woo Ye Jin—it was a formal business deal between two companies.
“And besides, I’m not that easily pushed around. Miss Yoo is completely smitten with me anyway.”
At Seung Hyun’s words, a faint smile finally returned to Yeon Hwa’s face.

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.”
