Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 74: My Heart Will Hurt

What Ryeowon said is indeed the truth. During the entire time that she tried to frame Jooeun, the person that benefited the most was Jooeun, followed by GK Entertainment. After being mentioned by GK, Jooeun's fame increased dramatically while she gained more fans. At the same time, GK reconfirmed their status in the industry; killing THREE birds with one stone.

Night hit. Jooeun returned home to find Taejoo pacing back and forth outside the front door. She turned to him questioningly. "Taejoo Oppa, why aren't you going inside?"

"Madam, you're back." Upon seeing Jooeun, Taejoo seemed to have seen his savior as his eyes lit up.

"What's wrong?"

"The president's mood isn't too good today."

"Why?" Jooeun looked at Taejoo and understood he was afraid of getting in trouble with Jeonghwan, so she assured him. "Don't worry Oppa, speak. I will handle this matter carefully."

"It's because of GK's statement. The higher-ups felt it wasn't necessary to mention your name and boost your exposure; there's a disagreement." Taejoo explained. "Of course, they aren't brave enough to stop the president but. . ."

Jooeun's heart sunk. She understood what Taejoo was trying to say. "It's ok, I will comfort him."

Even a small company like CN had its power struggles, so of course, GK is no different. Obviously, Jeonghwan's authority is being questioned and she is the one that ignited it.

After Taejoo left, Jooeun calmed down and entered the villa. Upon seeing Jeonghwan standing by the study room window drinking wine, she gently approached him and reached out her arms to hug him from behind. "President Lee, you appear to be upset."

"Did Taejoo said something?" Jeonghwan guessed. "It's not a big deal; nothing to be upset about."

"To you, I am your wife, so it's normal for you to be biased towards me. But to the staff at GK, I am not related to you at all, so it's expected that they would have their opinions." Jooeun said gently.

"That's not the main issue." Jeonghwan turned around and put down his wine glass as he wrapped Jooeun in his embrace.

"Is it because someone wants to challenge your power?" Just the thought of this made Jooeun hug Jeonghwan tighter. "You're well aware that there are so many people eyeing your position, how could you help me in such a high-profile way. Jeonghwan, I won't allow you to do this again. This time, it has made you unhappy, but what about next time? This incident with Jung Ryeowon, I know you had it all figured. You had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and the photo at the Bright Night Gala was it. But it isn't necessary for you to prove my innocence in your statement; don't do it again."

"Are you complaining that I am meddling in your business?" Jeonghwan's expression is slightly disappointed.

Jooeun froze for a moment before grabbing hold of Jeonghwan's hand and placing it atop her heart. She looked at him seriously as she spoke. "It hurts here. Everyone knows you are like a king; you are beyond reach. But I know, behind you is an abyss waiting for you to fall into. I, Jooeun, am not worthy. Even if I am to accept your help, it would be the day when everyone acknowledges my abilities. The entertainment industry is a dark place, I can't just accept your protection as if I deserve it. While people are attacking you, I can't just sit still. There's nothing else I can do, can't I at least protect your heart?"

Hearing Jooeun's words, Jeonghwan is stunned, dumbfounded, and shocked.

However, it only lasted a second before he violently grabbed onto Jooeun's cheeks, wrapped one arm around her waist, and passionately kissed down on her lips. The reason why his love for Jooeun is growing stronger and stronger is that their souls are connected. This thought made him grasp onto Jooeun's hands as he applied more force to his kiss until Jooeun's lips became red and swollen.

Afterward, he returned to his usual poised and confident manner as he spoke into Jooeun's ear. "I feel like I should thank the bunch of old dirtbags for giving me the opportunity to hear words from your heart."

"But Joo, you've underestimated your man. In the entertainment industry, there's nothing I can't do. Did you think anyone that challenges the king's power would have a good ending?"

"Then why were you upset?"

"You've been tricked by Park Taejoo." Jeonghwan is slightly amused as he spoke.

Jooeun froze. She then smiled as she spoke. "It's good that he gave me this warning, in case I'm unaware of the difficulties you face."

After hearing Jooeun's words, Jeonghwan smiled as he lifted her in his arms and carried her into the bathroom. "I want you."

Jooeun slightly blushed, but she still lifted her hand to undo his buttons. Seeing this, Jeonghwan couldn't help but think of the words she had just said; she wanted to protect his heart. He instinctively lifted Jooeun's jaw and kissed her on the ear sensually. "Not only must you protect my heart, but you must also protect my body."

Jeonghwan's pure white shirt was thrown to one side atop Jooeun's patterned A-line skirt. As one piece of clothing hit the ground after another, the couple looked at each other; they only had each other in their eyes as a passionate fire ignited.

Jooeun is a model. Every part of her body is important, so Jeonghwan made sure to remain gentle. Jooeun could sense his restraint, so she grabbed onto his neck and said. "I am not made of porcelain, I will not shatter with the slightest force."

"Is my wife telling me to use more force?" Jeonghwan entered her body and satisfied all her needs. After the married couple is finished being intimate in the bathroom, Jooeun is so tired she fell asleep. Jeonghwan looked at the tired look on Jooeun's face as he gently leaned over and gave her a kiss. "With your words, everything I do is worth it. No matter what you want to do, I will accompany you to the end of time."

After the Jung siblings had their argument, Ryeowon disappeared while Yonghwa had a gloomy expression the entire night. On the other hand, Shinhye appeared to be unaffected. She did not comfort Yonghwa like she normally did. Instead, she just minded her own business as she read the news.

"Shinhye, don't you think you've been acting a bit strange lately?"

"Yonghwa, it's hard enough that I have to carry around this child, did you expect me to get involved with the internal battle between you and your sister?" Shinhye asked back in disdain. "However, I do feel you made the right decision in giving up on your sister. After all, CN is currently being trampled by Joouen. With her being blacklisted by GK, you only did what a CEO should do."

"How long has it been since we've been intimate?" Yonghwa questioned. He noticed Shinhye had changed way too much. In the past, she had always clung to his embrace and acted cute to get her way, but now she treated him like he didn't exist.

"Yonghwa, the child is growing, it's making me feel unwell."

Thinking of the child, Yonghwa stopped questioning her. He simply stood up and walked into the bathroom to have a cold shower. It's normal for a man to have his needs, but it wasn't normal for Shinhye to act this way.
