While the team members were growing curious about their relationship, Yura was unleashing her pent-up frustration on Lee Hyun.
“Why did you interfere and disrupt the flow of the conversation?”
“Were you planning to keep it a secret from the team members?”
“If possible, as much as I can. After all, you said my face wouldn’t be on the media.”
Despite Yura’s scolding, Lee Hyun, still smiling, casually looked around the office and said nonchalantly as if his actions were trivial.
“Everyone who needs to know, knows. Even the secretaries in the Baek President’s office are aware of your existence. Keeping it a secret would only lead to grumbles from the team members later.”
Yura was annoyed by Lee Hyun’s attitude, which seemed like a cat benevolently considering a mouse’s feelings. She wondered why such a busy person would come to the company to announce he was her marriage partner.
“Whether they hear it or not, that’s my problem.”
“I don’t like it.”
At Lee Hyun’s firm response, Yura belatedly considered his perspective. Their relationship would soon become public knowledge. She knew that nothing remained a secret forever.
So the criticism and resentment directed at her would extend beyond personal matters, potentially leading to criticism of CH. Yura was not pleased with the thought of CH or others receiving criticism because of her.
Feeling a bit too sensitive, Yura felt a sense of guilt. At that moment, Lee Hyun sat on the desk and spoke in a serious tone.
“I don’t like others looking at my wife as they please.”
Yura blinked slowly, wondering if she had misheard. The man who was cold as ice when dealing with others was speaking as if he were a devoted husband, which seemed both amazing and unfamiliar to her.
She didn’t want to face what was inside Lee Hyun’s heart. It felt like something significant would go wrong if she did.
“Ugh, creepy. Don’t use that word so casually.”
Yura rubbed her arms and changed the subject.
“So, what should I call you? Do you prefer ‘honey’?”
“Don’t use that, either!”
Conscious of the office staff, Yura threatened in a low voice, clenching her teeth.
The word ‘honey’ brought a heatwave to her head. It was like a headache spreading, a chill running down her spine, an itchy feeling all over her body.
Yura looked at Lee Hyun, still casually sitting on the desk.
His slight smile was dazzlingly attractive. His lips, shining under the hot midday sun, drew a beautiful arc, making Yura feel thirsty.
“‘Honey’ sounds good.”
Lee Hyun, unable to let go, playfully smiled and repeated the term that alarmed Yura. She called out his name sternly.
“Lee Hyun. Call me by my name, just as we used to. Please.”
“Yura.”
For a moment, Yura held her breath, surprised at how sweet her own name sounded. Was it Lee Hyun’s voice that was the issue, or her own ears? She couldn’t understand why her familiar name sounded so strange now.
“Like this?”
Yura found it hard to look at Lee Hyun’s smiling face.
“Y-yes.”
Yura turned her head away as if to avoid Lee Hyun’s gaze and bit her lip. Then, a dark shadow fell over her face as Lee Hyun closed the distance between them in an instant, bringing his face close to hers. He tilted his head slightly, casting a sticky gaze.
“Why, why are you doing this?”
Retreating step by step, Yura was halted by a bookshelf and couldn’t move back any further. Lee Hyun, who had approached Yura closely, whispered softly.
“I prefer ‘honey’.”
Yura stretched out her hand and pushed against his chest.
“Move. We’re at the office.”
Lee Hyun, unflinching, gently grasped Yura’s hand placed on his chest.
The touch of his fingers sent a shiver down her spine. Yura felt peculiarly affected by this small contact, as if her head was spinning like seasickness.
Her heart had been racing, and despite the still chilly season, her face grew warm. While she was absurdly searching for an excuse like the indoor temperature being too high, Lee Hyun stroked the back of her hand with his thumb.
The sensation of his slow caress made Yura’s heart feel like it would burst. She was anxious that the loud thumping might be heard by him. Yura tried to hold her breath as her breathing seemed to quicken.
“I know. No one will come in.”
Startled by his secretive whisper, Yura urgently called out Lee Hyun’s name.
“Lee……!”
With a soft, sticky sound of friction, Yura’s voice dissolved weakly.
Though Lee Hyun had come close enough to kiss her when he proposed marriage, this was their first kiss. She had never imagined a day would come when she would kiss Lee Hyun like this. His skillful lead and the hand encircling her waist felt too natural.
Yura felt her mind go blank with Lee Hyun’s deepening breath.
It wasn’t her first kiss, but it felt like one, making her mind go blank. The sensation was so profound that she thought, ‘So this is what a kiss is.’ She should have pushed him away for such a sudden contact, but their lips, locked in a deep embrace, were irresistibly sweet.
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.
