Min Woo, his face scrunched up in displeasure, sat in a private room of the S Hotel restaurant with Kang Ju Ran.
It was a meeting that was originally scheduled two weeks ago.
Kang Ju Ran had been talking nonstop about how important this meeting was.
However, Chairman Cha Seung Jo, who was supposed to join them today, did not attend.
After the Onyu Pharmaceuticals investment case was transferred to Lee Kang Hyun, Chairman Cha Seung Jo abruptly canceled the meeting, saying he couldn’t stand the sight of Min Woo.
After some twists and turns, the meeting was rescheduled for today, two weeks later.
In the room were Kang Ju Ran, her acquaintance known as Madam Kim Ok Ja, a young-looking girl, and her mother.
“You’ve probably seen the photos, but this is Cha Min Woo, Executive Director of C&C Global. He’s thirty-four this year. He’s tall and handsome, right? In my opinion, he could be an actor.”
Madam Kim pointed to Min Woo and introduced him with a laugh.
“He was promoted to an executive position quite rapidly. You know, in a global company like C&C, even if you’re a family member of the owner, if you lack ability, there’s no mercy. It seems his talent comes from his father, Chairman Cha Seung Jo.”
Min Woo, feeling like storming out of the room right then, clenched his fists and endured.
Silently sitting, he recalled a conversation he had with Ju Ran a few days ago.
“What do you mean, a marriage proposal? Mother… why are you doing this to me? I’ve already failed once, isn’t that enough? Please, stop it.”
“One failure means you have to do better next time! Ji Yeon is a ship that has sailed. Give up on her. And Jung Se Ah? Do you think she’s a good choice? I won’t allow that girl until I’m in my grave!”
“Sigh….”
“Don’t you want to climb higher? Are you content to stay where you are? You know well that the position you hold now wasn’t easy to achieve on your own! Especially after what happened with Ji Yeon, you’re out of favor with the Chairman… If you want to keep your position, you need to think carefully. You’ve experienced it now. Love? That doesn’t last long. You should know by now! What will remain for you, putting aside feelings? Ultimately, it’s your position.”
“Se Ah is pregnant, Mother. She’s carrying my child.”
“I know! You think I arranged this meeting without knowing that? I’ll take care of the child, so don’t worry about anything else. Leave it all to me. You need to do well in this meeting. Having the right spouse is crucial for someone in your position. Impress the Chairman again this time.”
“This is Park Min Kyung, the youngest daughter of PP Confectionery. She’s currently a junior at Y University.”
“Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Park Min Kyung.”
“Min Kyung is not only great at her studies but excels in many ways. She may be young, but she’s taking various bridal lessons. Her special talents are playing the flute and cooking. Whoever becomes her husband is going to be very lucky. Imagine having a wife who’s great at cooking and artistically talented. Ho ho ho.”
Kim Ok Ja, who was introducing the girl, laughed heartily and the young girl, Park Min Kyung, blushed shyly.
“Originally, today’s meeting was intended to be just between the two of you, but both mothers showed a great interest in this event and insisted on coming to see you. Nice to meet you. Madam Kang Ju Ran, Madam Choi Hyo Jin.”
The two introduced mothers smiled and greeted elegantly.
Ju Ran’s face was also adorned with a constant smile.
“Madam Kang, Madam Choi, if you have any brief remarks to make, please do so. Then we should leave these two to meet comfortably on their own. It would be awkward for them to talk if we keep staying here, as we are not the main characters in this meeting.”
Madam Kim said this and then looked at the two mothers.
Ju Ran spoke first.
“As you know, the company is large and our Cha Executive is very capable, so he’s really busy with work. In times like these, the touch of a wife is desperately needed, but I couldn’t provide that as a mother at his side. Min Kyung, I’ve heard a lot about how kind and considerate you are. I thought it would be wonderful if you could form a good connection with our Cha Executive… That thought only grows stronger now that we meet today.”
With a gentle smile that seemed out of place, Ju Ran continued her speech.
“Our Min Woo is my only child. I’ve always wished for a daughter, to cherish and love her as one… Seeing such a beautiful Min Kyung in person, I feel that if she becomes part of our family, it would be wonderful.”
Turning her head towards Park Min Kyung, who then blushed, Ju Ran inwardly smiled.
‘That good, huh? Our Min Woo, you too find him quite handsome, right?’
Ju Ran secretly laughed, noticing Park Min Kyung’s obvious infatuation with Min Woo’s handsome appearance.
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.
