“What?”
“I’m asking if going to find out my intentions was also Chairman Jang’s order.”
Jiwan’s eyes, hiding emotions, gleamed sharply.
“You’ve probably seen the news of the only son’s marriage as an article. How painful would it be for your mother? She’s like an exiled person sent away unseen, claiming to be the director of an art museum.”
It was a veiled mockery.
Even though he was a man who blamed Jiwan’s mother for the death of his own mother due to illness, Jiwan remained calm.
“If we talk about pain, it would be only for the main mother.”
This time, Ki-hyuk’s eyebrows rose fiercely.
“Having a second daughter-in-law as if waiting to die. I don’t know if she closed her eyes in the underground.”
“Well, you rascal!!”
To spread ominous rumors about a soldier at a young age, Madame Jang treated the daughter-in-law’s funeral like she had caught a dead mouse.
Without caring about the sorrow of the grandson who lost his mother or the son who was left alone, Madame Jang simply said, “Bring in the little one.”
With just one word, before the funeral was even over, Madame Jang replaced the daughter-in-law like changing batteries.
The reason Ki-hyuk thought that his mother’s death was not unrelated to Jiwan’s stepmother was, “How dare you mention my mother?”
In the uncomfortable atmosphere, when Wusuk turned his body at the entrance, Jiwan raised his hand to stop him.
Arranging the suit jacket and brushing off the dust, the man was dignified to the end.
“Please come in more considerately from now on. We will honor you properly then.”
It was a very neat farewell, like inserting a sharp knife into the person who had put a sharp knife.
Following Jiwan, who left the office, Wusuk walked quickly.
The clothes the man bought were all either flashy or excessively dignified.
However, it didn’t seem right to wear jeans and a T-shirt in front of Jiwan, so he wore and took off several sets of clothes.
Considering Jiwan in a suit after work, he chose a dress that didn’t look too heavy or too light.
A floral V-neck dress.
Checking the length of the skirt that reached above the knee and standing on the visual on the yard, it was exactly 6:50 PM.
The wait, which was supposed to be about 10 minutes, continued for over 30 minutes.
The anticipation heated up by the midday heat remained hot even in the afternoon.
Afraid the skirt would wrinkle, unable to sit down, the sweat that reddened her forehead flowed down her throat.
‘Should I call? No, the meeting might be prolonged, or he might be driving. There must be a reason for being late.’
About to wait for the remaining 20 minutes, around the time she thought of going in after waiting for just an hour, a black sedan appeared coming up the hill.
The restlessness of the waiting time disappeared like melting snow, and the two feet in sandals, swollen with joy, began to hop on the blue grass.
Having left Ki-hyuk alone in the office, Jiwan quickly instructed him to go to Hwan-dong.
Raising his wrist several times to check the time on the congested road, he seemed anxious, lifting and putting down his phone.
“Madam, what’s going on?”
When Wooseok, who had been reading the situation, asked, there was only a slight tilt of the head, and then Jiwan smiled as she entered the entrance of Hwan-dong’s garden.
As soon as Wooseok saw Dohyuk through the car window, a smile crept up on Jiwan’s lips.
“It seems like you two are going somewhere nice.”
Wooseok, who had been unable to make a call, only held and put down his phone, felt both disappointed and curious as he saw Jiwan’s tail twitching.
“I thought I might have to follow you.”
With a relaxed posture leaning on the back seat, his eyes, which were scanning only beyond the car window, did not seem to be listening to my words. The man who did not smile much looked clearly delighted.
When Jiwan’s floral dress fluttered with her steps, he reluctantly raised his right hand to cover his eyes.
The time spent waiting was quickly forgotten, and the excited woman, seeing her car and saying, “Let’s take a walk,” wagged her tail at the word, just like a dog.
“Hmph.”
In the unmistakable smirk revealed under his hand, a sense of defeat and regret mixed strangely.
Not willing to play with the excited dog by wagging its tail, Jiwan, who got out of the car, showed no other reaction except lowering her raised tail.
“Did you wait long?”
“No, just a moment. I just came out.”
To say it just came out, the sweat beads on her rounded forehead were quite undeniable.
“Madam, this way.”
Wooseok, who was standing behind, handed her a handkerchief.
To the woman who didn’t want to show her impatience, he reluctantly offered a handkerchief, and Jiwan narrowed her eyes at Wooseok’s seemingly unaware action.
In this state, it seemed that this person had everything but had never experienced dating.
“Ah, sweat. Ha-ha-ha.”
Sure enough.
With the received handkerchief wiping her forehead, the woman exaggeratedly laughed.
“Shall we go?”
“Yes!”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
