“Do you find it fun?”
As they exited the grocery section, Jiwan asked the giggling woman.
“……I really wanted to try it. When you’re married, you go shopping with your husband, taste food. In dramas, there’s always a scene like that.”
The question of why she wanted to do such a thing was left unanswered.
It was because Jiwan didn’t want to take away the joy on Doum’s face.
Even if he asked, she wouldn’t understand because she hated wasting time on something that wasn’t absolutely necessary.
“This is our first date gift.”
What Doum held in her hand looked like a small pouch-shaped keychain.
“If you wear this, I’m sure you won’t do it, so I’ll hang it here.”
Inside the car, Doum satisfactorily hung a small pouch on the front of the passenger seat.
Thirty-four.
The woman didn’t know that this was the first time a man had pulled a cart in his entire life, eaten street food without sitting properly, and stood while eating. It was just that night.
A Mart outing with her husband that would end in a year was purely happy and enjoyable for Doum.
The scent of tea leaves filled the room.
After emptying three cups of Dadosil tea and filling the cups properly, Madam Jang Homuk looked at Seohyun and Kihyuk, who were sitting across from her with their knees.
“It seems like a great man, doing all kinds of wrongs.”
It was a crisis to receive a call from Chairman Jin exposing her son-in-law’s corruption shortly after the bribery case at Bando Electronics broke out.
“Pathetic bullying, not to mention the disgraceful hotel business owned by the master. It’s a shame that Seo Sangmu is bringing shame to Bando.”
“I’m sorry.”
“That means, aren’t you tired of hearing that?”
When the illegal entry into adult entertainment establishments and the coercion and oppression of drivers outside of business hours became known, Chairman Jang’s anger towards Kihyuk, who had been watching, was considerable.
“Doesn’t Grandma know? There’s not just one person who sits with his eyes on fire and says, ‘Where is a person without a single flaw? Where is a person who has not been scratched?'”
“Tsk tsk, you seem like an incomplete human.”
Chairman Jang’s gaze shifted from Seohyun, who was sitting up straight and sipping her tea, to Kihyuk.
“What kind of person are you? When a husband can’t attach his heart to the family and turns outside, there must be a reason inside the house. You’ve been married for two years and haven’t been able to grasp a single man’s heart because of what kind of person you are.”
“I apologize.”
“Although it’s my fault to say this to my sister, I didn’t bring you into the house just to let you spread your wings. Just be a patient person who firmly holds the man’s heart when he’s working outside. How dare you raise your voice in front of me, using my father as an excuse!”
“……I’m sorry.”
Quietly putting down the teacup, Seohyun lowered her head.
If she could stand at the top of Bando, such embarrassment wouldn’t matter at all.
Compared to Bando, Jinhan was insignificant in scale or asset value, but with marriage, Chairman Jin, Jiwan’s father, rose to a position alongside Jinhan, much like Jinhan.
It was also Chairman Jin who planted the ambition to take over Bando by leveraging his daughter.
Jin Chairman, who prioritized immediate profit over his children, wouldn’t have contacted Chairman Jang for my sake…….
“Jeju Dion Land Civil Engineering will be handled by Jinhan E&C, so be aware of that.”
‘Well, that’s how it is. He’s not a father who would step forward for his daughter without wanting anything in return.’
The smoothly flowing tea water turned rough, scratching and passing through like a passing storm.
“To use your child like this, once is enough, tell your chairman.”
Seohyun closed and opened her eyes deeply at Chairman Jang’s words.
“Yes, I will.”
For Chairman Jang, who did not exploit personal friendships for public gain, it was a considerable concession.
She had stored this disgrace for a long time, and whenever the time came, she would aim and throw it in all directions.
Swish.
Jang Jimun, who never neglected lubrication, silently opened the door.
“Have you come.”
At Chairman Jang’s voice, which had softened, Seohyun and Kihyuk turned around simultaneously.
“You called us, Grandma.”
In a white silk-collared black dress, Doum was there.
Facing Kihyuk and his wife, whom she had only briefly seen at the wedding, the woman bowed her head slightly.
“The discussion is over, you two, go out.”
As if saying, ‘Why are you here?’ Seohyun’s sharp gaze made Doum shrink her shoulders.
If Jiwan rarely visited Anseo-dong, and Doum started to come and go, Seohyun’s calculation was that there must be a goal.
It was a clear gaze of boundaries.
“Grandma!”
Kihyuk’s voice calling Chairman Jang was more desperate and urgent than ever,
“Even if you tell us to go out!”
As if guessing that it would be so, Chairman Jang shouted.
At the time they were called, it was clearly Chairman Jang’s plan to send someone to Anan-dong to bring help.
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.”
