Before Yi’s arrival, Han Jiang’s eyes were glued to the screen playing live footage. A few weeks ago, when he saw the video sent by Kang Jun, his ‘dreams’ started again. But this time, they were all blurred… no matter how much he racked his brain, he could neither remember the dream nor the face. Later, Han Jiang looked at the young teenage boy in front of him. Yi was sitting comfortably with escorts on his side. With one leg on the other, left elbow above the backrest, and right hand tapping fingers on his knee, Yi was flirting with the woman with a proud smirk. Suddenly, many scenes started flashing in front of his eyes… . Han Jiang found himself sitting in front of young General Jun, inside a Courtesan house. Many beautiful escorts with revealing hanfu were attending the guests. General Jun had a deathly cold expression, he was utterly pissed. “General, why don’t you have some drinks?” Han Jiang found himself saying it with an awkward voice, he was somewhat trying to please t
Seeing Yi’s shameless flirting, Qiang pressed his temple in annoyance whereas Han Jiang chuckled in amusement, “Hah! You haven’t changed at all!!” Feeling a sudden Antarctic chill, he looked aside… Li Kang Jun was clenching his whiskey glass and staring at Yi with a deathly cold gaze. Qiang too, saw it and told all the escorts to go out. Yi complained, “Hey!! Why did you chase them away!!” looking at Kang Jun, he continued, “Just because you are married, you can’t get jealous of my freedom!” “How…” Qiang wondered. Yi retorted, “How? The wedding ring is so obvious!” just then, his face turned mischievous, “Wait… did you perhaps get angry when I called you ‘Handsome for nothing’?” Li Kang Jun said, “Why would I be bothered by you?” Yi fired back, “Then why did you marry so recklessly!” making Kang Jun raise his brow, “Why? Were you interested in me?” Yi shuddered subconsciously under his deep gaze, but he didn’t back off either, “You want me to? Hmm, you seem disappointed with your
“Mom, dad…” Su Yeon said, making the Yoon couple look at her. “I think…” she fidgeted with her breakfast as her inner turmoil wasn’t stopping. Mother Yoon held her hand and blinked with a warm smile, telling her to rest assured. Taking a deep breath, Su Yeon said, “Tomorrow, I should return to… Li Mansion.” Her one sentence made their heart sink. No matter how much they both were trying to normalize this fact and consoling themselves for the past few days, still today, it felt hard. Father Yoon sighed lightly and nodded with a smile. Mother Yoon did the same. “Forget it,” Su Yeon snapped, “It’s ok if I won’t return anytime soon, and I have been talking with Dr. Bai often so I know, Li family won’t object either.” After placing her plate in the sink, she took her overcoat and handbag, “Danyeo-ogesseubnida*” she bowed, leaving her parents speechless. When the door closed, mother Yoon sighed, “Did we scare her? We shouldn’t have done that, we have already accepted this marriage—” Fa
Manager Lim raised his brow, “Do you think that’s the only reason why he has been tormenting you for almost four years?”Su Yeon pursed her lips, “Hm, he said so…”While shaking his head, Manager Lim laughed, “Apart from his outward nature, Director Han has a keen eye for people. The more you were improving yourself, the more he pushed you further, and all this happened under the supervision of President Li.”Su Yeon’s heart was thumping crazily, “President Li… was supervising it…”Adjusting his glasses, Manager Lim nodded, “One day when we both were looking at your efforts from far away, I warned him that Director Han is a beast when it comes to working, he won’t be gentle to you.”“So… what d-did he say…” she asked while controlling her stuttering.“Surprisingly, he smiled, and said… he trusts you.”Su Yeon sighed with a smile, “Sometimes, I think I am lucky. I have got so much without doing anything…”Manager Lim denied, “Wrong. President Li just offered a helping hand, it was you
Su Yeon tried to move but those strong arms didn’t even budge! trapping her again. She meekly looked at him, who smirked, “Really?” and eyed her mobile, which was still displaying their wedding photo.“Oh!… That… I… M-mom wanted o-our photo… so I was about to send her… yeah right… mom wanted it,” Su Yeon was so immersed in making an excuse that she didn’t even notice when Kang Jun placed the file aside and moved her facing to him… still trapped between those hands though.“W-wh-what?” Su Yeon leaned backward to create some distance between them.Whereas Li Kang Jun was shocked to see her moist eyes. Cupping her tiny face with his large palm, he asked, “What happened? Why were you crying?”Su Yeon blinked away the unexpected moisture and shook her head, ‘What’s wrong with me! Why do I suddenly feel like crying’ she bit her lower lip to control her thoughts.“Did that Jiang scold you? You just wait here, I will go and kick his ass!” Li Kang Jun scoffed, but it made Su Yeon chuckle, “No
Other than people who know about this field, most of them found it so tempting that they secretly got jealous of Manager Yoon. Su Jin was one of them, she clenched her dress under the table hard.Meanwhile, Su Yeon narrowed her eyes, “What is the target?” indirectly accepting the deal. This time, everyone noticed that instead of smirking, President Li smiled, “Thank you for helping me.”Su Yeon chuckled. Just then, her phone chimed. “I’ve just sent the details…” seeing her checking the message, he continued, “I’m giving you one year.”Su Yeon raised her brow seeing the amount, even Qiang who was sitting beside her and peeking in her mobile got shocked after seeing it. When she saw his genuine ‘requesting’ gaze, she said, “…six months. This amount will be deposited in your bank account in six months.”Qiang gulped, “Yoon Su Yeon, are you sure?” Li Kang Jun nodded in agreement, he too was taken aback by her statement.Su Yeon smiled, “Does President Li trust me?” she remembered Manager
Her thinking got interrupted by his deep cold voice, “Apologize to manager Yoon.” “Huh… Why me…” she asked with a dumbfounded face… This is not right!!! and he is serious too... “Didn’t you accuse her for no reason?” everyone caught the clear rage in Li Kang Jun’s voice. “I…” Su Jin bit her tongue inwardly and said with a displeased heart, “I am extremely sorry Manager Yoon, I didn’t mean to doubt you.” Everyone looked at Su Yeon, who was staring Li Kang Jun with wide eyes. By Bo In’s secret nudge, she came back to her senses and nodded, “i-it’s ok, you didn’t do it intentionally.” Li Kang Jun smirked, “Manager Yoon, not everyone is pure like you… some unskilled people who use cheap methods to climb up believe that everyone is like them. Be careful of such people.” Qiang and Hong Bo In were inwardly giving a huge round of applause on this. Meanwhile, Su Jin felt utterly humiliated. Though he didn’t specify, she knew that it was directed at her. … Later in Manager Yoon’s cabin
Li Kang Jun was telling the butler to shift Su Yeon’s bags in their room when he saw his little wife standing still while looking at their mansion.Going near her, he noticed that she was nervous at first, but then while looking at their parents, her eyes fell into sorrow. Thus, he held her shivering palms, “Don’t worry… everything will be alright, because I will be there for you… forever…”Whereas, his simple assurance reduced her nervousness to a great extent, filling her heart with a comforting warmth...Su Yeon smiled and saw the butler taking her suitcase inside, “Oh… that…”Kang Jun nodded, “Hmm, I told him because I can’t.”“Huh? Why?” she got confused.“You are coming to our house for the first time, almost like a newly wedded bride, so… I had to pick you up just like we did—”Su Yeon gasped, “YOU!!!!” quickly covering his mouth with her palm, she scolded with beet red face, “Senior, how can you say this so… so… easily,” she wanted to say ‘shamelessly’ but she couldn’t.“What
Father Li denied, “I couldn’t, or rather… I shouldn’t register them, else it will question my license.”“What? Why?” both Chen and Su Yeon asked together.“You see it yourself,” Father Li passed her the documents. After seeing the document, Su Yeon looked back at him in confusion, to which he eyed her to look at the end.Su Yeon creased her forehead while looking at the end, “I couldn’t find anything wrong— wait… this!” she was utterly speechless.Father Li laughed, “Su Yeon ah, even though you know how Kang Jun is, still you believe that he will divorce you?” Su Yeon mumbled under her breath, “He is surely the Demon Lord” She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry or get angry at her sly husband.“So… should I slide them into the shredder?”“Aniyo! I want to keep this paper,” Su Yeon narrowed her eyes, making Father Li chuckle, “As you wish, have fun.”“Geurigo…” Su Yeon said, “Father, I need your help… and permission as well”After listening to her, Father Li sighed with a frown, “Can
Li Kang Jun was enjoying his wife’s desires. He slowed his movements to let his wife take advantage of him. Turning around, he saw Su Yeon looking at him from top to bottom with dizzy bewitched eyes, making him lose control of himself.Clutching his jaw, he took a threatening step forward and grabbed her by her waist before she could even think of running away.Su Yeon placed both her palms on his chest and looked at him with her dizzy eyes, “Promise me that… you will take care of yourself,” she said and moved closer to him, her hand moved up and her fingers gently traced the faint dark circles below his eyes, “you won’t skip meals, or sleep late for your work… promise?”Li Kang Jun held her palm with his other hand, “I promise,” he placed a gentle kiss on her knuckles, making her eyes flutter. To tease his little wife more, he moved his face near her a little. When she noticed it, Su Yeon’s hesitant eyes wandered around his deathly handsome face and cruel sensual lips. The evident de
Even after everyone was done eating, Kang Jun was still busy with his meeting. When he was done, he went downstairs and was about to call the butler, just then his sharp eyes caught something unexpected, relieving his tensed face… On the dining table, all the dishes were covered with the lid and two plates were kept aside… but the most unexpected thing was the person who was waiting for him there… It was his beloved wife… sleeping peacefully with her head resting on the folded hands on the table. She must be waiting for a long to get dozed off. Kang Jun sent the dishes for reheating and sat beside his sleeping beauty. With his face resting on the propped fist, he gently slid off the hair strand on her face behind her ear with his other hand. His warm rough yet gentle touch made Su Yeon’s eyes open slowly, “Oh, wasseo?” she got up, “Wait, let me reheat the dishes—” holding her wrist, Li Kang Jun stopped her, “I have already sent them, but why are you still here?” Su Yeon tried to
Central Hospital,While entering, Lufan’s secretary informed him about the urgent meeting with the directors. Su Yeon assured him, “You go first, I will wait in your cabin.” Lufan assigned the nurses to run some tests on her till he returns.On the other hand, Xiao Xi saw the nurses giggling and teasing Su Yeon while taking her blood sample and checking out the wedding ring, which fuelled burning jealousy in her.After some time, seeing Su Yeon going away, she quickly started walking in her direction. Meanwhile, she heard the nurses murmuring to each other, “I can’t believe she got married.” “Yes yes, how cutely she blushed while talking about her husband!” Completely jealous of it, Xiao Xi grabbed a sharp scalpel from the side trolly and hid it inside her pocket.Su Yeon decided to wait in Lufan’s cabin as the reports will be sent there directly. While waiting for the elevator, she heard someone calling her from behind.“Excuse me”Turning around, she saw a tall girl standing there w
“Objection sustained,” The Judge nodded, “Plaintiff, is it true?” “Anieyo,” Su Yeon’s statement startled everyone, even Lawyer Li. “Actually… we knew each much before than that,” “Can you please elaborate?” the Judge asked, getting a nod from Su Yeon, “Senior and I know each other since… childhood. We both had a secret crush on each other but didn’t know about it. After that, we directly met in our workplace, at Song Empire. I was an intern and he was our Senior in a certain project. It was that time we… fell in love with each other. Before Senior left for country G to start his own company, he had promised me that… he will return as soon as possible and we will get married. We both got busy in our respective careers. Four years later, that is now, on this new year, we met again, as a blind date. I didn’t know that Dr. Bai’s youngest son is none other than… Senior, the person… I love.” Just then, at the end of the courtroom, the door opened and a girl came inside with a man. Her fa
District Court, “All rise” Everyone got up from their seats to greet the judge. As everyone settle down, the judge got startled a little. The Plaintiff sitting on the left side was perfectly fine and composed, whereas, on the left side, the defendant was in a bad state. The Judge cleared his throat a little and said, “Plaintiff’s counselor, you may begin questioning the defendant.” From the Plaintiff’s table, Lawyer Li came forward and gave a formal bow, “Your Honor, members of the jury, my name is Li Jeong Wook, representing the Plaintiff, Yoon Su Yeon in this case.” Glancing at the notepad in his hand once, he turned to the defendant, Mr. Zhu, and started questioning. Though he was patiently replying to Lawyer Li’s questions, his control over his boiling anger started losing, resulting in his annoyed shout, “THAT BITCH RUINED US!!! Someone put her into the jail!!!!” A loud bang on the table rang in the deadly quiet court room. “Defendant, please behave yourself, this language
At Night,Bai Mansion,Grandfather Bai and Dr. Bai Xiu Ying forced Yoon couple to stay at Bai Mansion.“Mother, Father, you should stay here. Yoon mansion is risky as of now, not because of officer Yoon but I am afraid, Zhu’s will play any kind of trick. It’s better protected here,” Li Kang Jun’s sincere request made them difficult to object.Later, Li Kang Jun went to his room as he couldn’t find his wife anywhere. Considering their current awkward relationship, his room would have been the last place she would be in, but surprisingly, she was there, in front of the vanity, completely lost in her thoughts.Meanwhile, Su Yeon was keeping her watch on the table, some voices were ringing in her mind. ‘What were those voices?’ she thought.‘You are mine… only mine’‘Gon ah… he was deeply in love with me! He died because of me! He knew it already and was protecting me from the beginning… I failed to understand his intention... and love…’This was definitely Kang Jun and her voice… but she
“I never saw him before,” Nine shook her head, disappointing everyone.Just then Su Yeon said, “I know him…” which surprised everyone. Nine asked, “You know him? But I never saw him before.” Su Yeon’s guards nodded in agreement.Li Kang Jun looked at Su Yeon, who cleared his doubt, “Nine wouldn’t because it happened recently and they both could not because I met him in the office.”“Do you know anything about him?” Seeing eagerness in his eyes, Su Yeon told him everything, “When I first met him, he was a mailman, and then after few days, I saw him working as a temporary janitor in Song Empire.”He asked, “Can I have his information?”Su Yeon called Gon for it, who was already in the hospital to meet her.Gon came inside with Vice President Song Dae Hyun, “How are you, Manager Yoon?” VP Song asked. “Good morning Professor, I’ve totally recovered now,” he was happy inwardly seeing her completely fine state.“Mr. Secretary, do you remember the temporary Janitor we met that day?” Su Yeon
Ming chuckled, “Ani-ya, he reminded me about my long-lost identity, which I had in my senior year, do you remember?” Qiang thought, “Senior year?” he remembered, “Aaaah! Dr. Bright?” Ming was surprised, “So you do remember! Wait! I never told you my ID name,” she squinted her eyes as he cleared his throat and looked away. A sudden realization hit her, “Jamkkan*… neo hoksi*… ‘strong-guy’?” she asked. Qiang amused, “Omo! You still remember me!” making her speechless, “Dangyeon-hajo*! You proposed to me at the last session, geurigo*… you were my first patient,” she blushed, “Why… did you do it?” Qiang chuckled, “How can I not… you restricted Qiang, but not ‘Strong guy’.” Just then, she got a call from Lan. Ming briefed her as well as Qiang about everything that happened. When the call ended, Qiang asked in a cold voice, “Ming, did you find that imposter’s true identity?” his tone was quite murderous, someone has dared to harm both of their only bestfriend. “No, I couldn’t,” Ming cle
