“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
In Li Kang Jun’s room, Su Yeon was amazed seeing his perfectly clean and unnecessarily spacious room, but the most surprising part was that he had left huge space for her belongings in the wardrobe as well as in the washroom. While unpacking, she secretly peeked at Kang Jun, who was busy on a call. When the bracelet came into her vision, she remembered the things her mother said, unaware of him coming near her. “Want to ask anything?” Li Kang Jun whispered in her ear from behind, making her nod subconsciously, “Senior, do you…” She paused when she realized the situation… where she was already trapped between the wardrobe and his big tall body, even though he was just standing behind her with his hands inside his pockets. “Do you what?” Blinking rapidly, she completed, “D-Do you… know when will President Li and sister Ji Hye return? It feels incomplete without them…” Li Kang Jun chuckled, “Soon. Hyung is having some troubles in the other branch, so he had to stay there for a tim
Next day, Su Yeon returned to Li mansion from the office and found that Li Kang Jun wasn’t at home. After getting fresh, while checking her phone, she saw the message he had sent a few hours ago, President Li: I’m going out for a meeting, will probably return home late. Su Yeon pursed her lips in displeasure, “Why you are so busy…” “Because your husband is the President of a company,” Su Yeon was startled by the sudden ‘cold’ voice beside her ear. Li Kang Jun was standing behind her in a sleek navy-blue business suit. Su Yeon couldn’t help but admire his perfect looks, ‘No wonder other women want to throw themselves at him! He is just… perfect!’ “Like what you see?” Li Kang Jun smirked, he was controlling himself hard not to pounce on her at this moment after seeing her drooling gaze on him… Sigh. “I-I wasn’t looking at you…” Su Yeon averted her gaze in embarrassment. Li Kang Jun sighed while removing his blazer, “It's ok, you won’t be able to see me anyway from tomorrow.” “W
