Woo Dan Woo casually asked Soo Jung, who had approached him.
“What’s going on?”
“This.”
She opened her palm to show him a cufflink.
Dan Woo raised an eyebrow and picked up the cufflink. As he fastened the gold cufflink with initials engraved on it to the cuff of his dress shirt, he asked in a low voice,
“How did you know it was mine?”
“I have good eyes. We brushed past each other at the venue.”
“Is that so? …Then I should go.”
As Dan Woo turned to leave without another word, Soo Jung quickly blocked his way.
“Excuse me, CEO Woo Dan Woo. Don’t you have something to discuss with me?”
Recalling the call from Dan Woo suggesting a meeting, Soo Jung vaguely guessed his intentions.
She had declined the meeting, but since they had crossed paths, it didn’t seem bad to hear him out.
Soo Jung reconsidered her situation once again.
If a video about Haesong Bio’s counterfeit drugs surfaced, Woo Seon Ho would likely try to silence me first.
Soo Jung was contemplating whether she should side with this man who considered Seon Ho an enemy.
“There is. I won’t beat around the bush.”
Although Dan Woo spoke his intentions clearly, he didn’t act hastily. He guessed that Soo Jung had followed him because she was conflicted.
“Actually, I know who you are. The hidden illegitimate child of the Haesong family. The son of CEO Woo Seon Ho.”
A whistling sound escaped from between Dan Woo’s lips.
Most people who knew the secret of the Haesong family knew Dan Woo not as Chairman Woo Soo Ho but as the son of Woo Seon Ho.
Those who knew the truth had kept their mouths shut so as not to tarnish Chairman Woo Soo Ho’s clean image.
“So, are you now willing to consider my offer?”
“What do you want?”
“What do you think?”
“To prove my mother’s innocence?”
Dan Woo’s gaze turned icy. From the word ‘innocence,’ he realized that, as he had suspected, Soo Jung was aware of the issues involving his mother and Haesong Bio.
Dan Woo also had to understand what Soo Jung truly wanted.
“You seemed to pretend to know something, too.”
Throwing the cufflink to distract her hadn’t been intentional, but the opportunity to meet her under that pretext had crossed his mind.
However, when Soo Jung brought up his birth, the situation changed. It seemed she was willing to negotiate something.
“I’ll visit you soon. Is that alright?”
“Sure.”
Ji An hurriedly came home after work.
Today was Friday, the day she had an official date with Dan Woo.
Sharing ordinary moments with Dan Woo was nice, but the fact that they had a special meeting at a special place filled her days with anticipation.
With Dan Woo’s words that it may not be a good time in mind, she was fully focused on the Friday date.
She wanted to be cautious because Dan Woo needed time for this date. What should she do about her hair and clothes? Even trivial things preoccupied her mind.
Ji An had tried on all the clothes in her wardrobe for the past two days.
The outfit she finally chose was a neat sky-blue collared dress. She chose a light and neat outfit to listen to Dan Woo’s honest stories.
The awaited appointment was now just an hour away.
After getting ready to go out, Ji An sat down at the table, resting her chin on her hands and tapping her feet cheerfully on the floor.
Ding.
[Dash] [Come down. I’m in front of the house.] As Ji An, light as a feather, came into view, she filled Dan Woo’s entire field of vision upon exiting Lakeside Tower’s main entrance.Each time her small, shoe-wrapped feet touched the sidewalk, the depth of Dan Woo’s eyes increased.
Her presence made him involuntarily smile; he didn’t want to look away.
Ji An, who had walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his waist. When she looked up, a popping sound came from her forehead.
“You’ve dressed up so nicely. Makes me not want to send you home.”
“It’s just a bit more effort than usual. Is it that much?”
As Ji An got into the passenger seat and clicked her seatbelt, Dan Woo cupped her cheek and tapped the tip of her nose with his thumb.
“Did you wait long?”
“No, I was busy with things after work. Time flew by.”
Instead of saying, ‘I’ve been waiting for 8 PM on Friday for the past two days,’ Ji An replied harmlessly.
She awkwardly smiled, trapping her thumb within her other four fingers. It was a habit she had when lying.
Despite her cheerful face, Ji An was tense, wondering what Dan Woo was going to talk about. Perhaps something related to the memory illness he mentioned in Jeju?
Rrrrr. Rrrrr.
Just then, Ji An’s phone rang. She saw two welcome characters and opened her phone.
“Dad.”
[Dash] Is this Ji An?Upon hearing an unfamiliar voice from the other end, Ji An checked the caller ID.
It is. Dad’s number.
“Yes, this is Ji An.”
[Dash] Ah, so it is Ji An. It’s your uncle, the strawberry farmer Jong Goo.Jong Goo was Jang Hye Yoon’s close friend but, in terms of blood relation, was a distant eighth cousin or so.
Ji An had not seen Jong Goo since her grandmother passed away.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
