Since he seemed completely clueless about love, she had given him a hint in advance. Therefore, she thought that no matter how busy he was, he would contact her on this day.
Of course, Yu Ri still couldn’t forget the humiliation she had suffered in his shabby restaurant near his company a few days ago. It was the first time she had been treated like that since she was born.
When she realized that the people in the restaurant were looking at her with sympathetic eyes, Yu Ri felt an uncontrollable rage.
And when she realized the sneer mixed in those glances, she wanted to flip the table in front of the man who was calmly holding his rice spoon.
“If you got that mad and left, you should have followed me out immediately. But is it possible that there has been no contact since then? How long do I have to endure?”
Although she was still angry about what happened then, she was thinking of going to meet him if he contacted her today. Because it was Christmas Eve, a day for couples.
“Call me. Kang Tae Seo, I mean call me.”
Yu Ri muttered the command without a single error in her lips. She was angry, but she had no intention of breaking off the engagement.
He was a man worth that much. He was a man that everyone coveted. But because not anyone could have him, she had to keep him by her side.
The eyes of Yu Ri, who seemed to be shooting lasers at her phone, flashed for a moment. Then she suddenly reached out quickly. The ringtone of her cell phone hadn’t even started to sound properly.
“This is Jo Yu Ri.”
“―Really, you’re not coming? Yu Ri! The atmosphere here is no joke! Today, all the kids that Jeong Jae Hoon is managing have shown up!”
Calls asking her to attend various gatherings poured in all day, but the awaited call did not come. Yu Ri grimaced at her phone screen.
Jeong Jae Hoon, the CEO of Joo An Entertainment, was on a roll these days. The popularity of the idol groups and actors he managed had surged with the Hallyu wave, and it seemed he brought them all to the Christmas Eve party.
Of course, Yu Ri had absolutely no interest in such events. Moreover, Jeong Jae Hoon, just hearing his name used to give her a headache.
Eight years ago, the dimwit who used to follow Yoon Jae In around with his gloomy eyes ended up causing trouble. Seeing him running his business just fine now, it seemed he had pulled himself together in the meantime.
“Well, after causing such a ruckus and being outcast, he can’t just hang around doing nothing. He had to do something to survive.”
“―What did you say? I can’t hear you well! You’re coming right now, right?”
“Why would I go there! I’m going to be the daughterinlaw of the Kang Sun Group next year, why should I give rise to unnecessary rumors?”
“―Yu Ri, are you really getting married next year? Then are you with Kang Tae Seo right now?”
“Stop calling. I’m busy right now.”
“―What? Why isn’t Yu Ri coming?”
“―She must be with Kang Tae Seo right now!”
No matter what they were chattering about amongst themselves, Yu Ri hung up the phone, leaving room for them to make their own assumptions.
For the first time in Jo Yu Ri’s life, she spent Christmas Eve glaring at her phone at home.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi.
