Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 98: So Good That She's a Bit Jealous!

Shinhye had remained hidden until now, whilst Jang Geunseuk is still hiding overseas. No one had any idea where they are. But that didn't mean Jooeun couldn't do anything to them. She had not completely rid herself of the words, bed-climbing, yet.

"Jooeun, all the magazines, and runway endorsements have gotten in contact again. What are your thoughts?" Minjung asked as she browsed through Jooeun's emails.

"Reply to them and tell them I need some time to rest and won't be taking on any jobs. Jeonghwan said Sublime will be holding auditions in the next few days, so I want to prepare myself. Plus, I also have other things I want to sort out." Jooeun replied after having a quick look through the emails.

Minjung looked straight into Jooeun's eyes. Although as usual, she couldn't see completely through Jooeun, after their years of cooperation, she could roughly guess what Jooeun is thinking.

"Are you referring to Park Shinhye? That woman seems to have turned to dust."

"If we want to know where she is, it's not hard. After all, her assistant is married and has a family to take care of. Unnie, help me find her and tell her there is a big company looking to sign with her."

"And you are that big company, right?" Minjung tested Jooeun.

"She is the same as Yonghwa. She can't prove my innocence. But she can't continue to be like this; she can't do what she wants and cause problems as she pleases." Jooeun replied after thinking for a bit. Although her tone is quite gentle, Minjung could sense the viciousness in her words.

If someone else had defamed Jooeun, she may not have taken things to the extreme, but people like Shinhye only appeared to be pitiful on the outside. In reality, they are not worthy of sympathy.

Seeing Jooeun like this, a scary sense of realization suddenly crossed Minjung's mind. After the bed-climbing incident, Jooeun had become more ruthless and clear-minded. Just looking at how she sued CN, for example. A normal person would have battled with CN and Yonghwa to the end – after all, Yonghwa is the main perpetrator – but instead, she chose to tell them they no longer owed each other after her name was cleared by the Annual Model Awards.

If she didn't go after Yonghwa, netizens would have said she's feeling guilty so she wasn't brave enough to sue him. However, if she did go after him, she would have been placed under the firing line. After all, her previous relationship with Yonghwa couldn't be erased from everyone's minds. As a result, scandals would have arisen about her being shameless and fighting with her ex. Putting on a strong fight would only attract strong reactions and the power of online would only make the situation more complex. So she sued them, but she held back a little by letting her ex off the hook. This showed how classy she is. On the other hand, Yonghwa, who appeared to have disappeared, is getting scolded even more online.

By doing this, all the anti-fans that were prepared to cause chaos, suddenly realized they were merely punching cotton. Their punches didn't make much impact at all! If the words that the Annual Model Awards organizing committee had put in for her left netizens in an unsure position of whether to trust her, then the way she dealt with CN gave them that one last nudge to her side. After all, she had been clear about her standpoint from the beginning. A person with both manners and class, even if she didn't receive applause, would still bring people to a point of realization. So in this battle, she's the winner. From this point onwards, this is the true beginning of her counterattack!

"Jooeun-ah, I really haven't gotten to know you well enough over the years."

Minjung knew Jooeun isn't stupid, she had just been too emotional and that's why she gave all she had to Yonghwa. However, she is now awoken. With all the pain she had gone through, her ability to deal with things had naturally improved.

"Are you familiar with me now?" Jooeun gently laughed, revealing a vulnerable smile. Minjung is in a daze. This is how she was in front of her own people. Her enthusiasm always came from the heart.

"I'll go look for news on Shinhye."

Jooeun nodded as she prepared some plain congee and vegetables and took them to the bedroom. Jeonghwan had just awoken, he's so hot his body is covered in sweat, so he opened up his robe and leaned back on the bedhead to read some documents.

"You really can't rest can you?"

"I'm just checking out the artists that belong to Sublime." Jeonghwan reached out his hands and pulled her into his arms.

"Why are you suddenly curious about that?"

"The same as usual..."

"You can only be rest assured once you have everything in the palm of your hands, that's why you are so tired." Jooeun picked up the towel sitting on the bedside table and helped wipe the sweat off Jeonghwan's body.

"Judging by your character, I expect you to have rejected all your previous jobs. After all, with your current status, you don't need to turn back. If you want to go to Sublime, I will definitely prepare to stand guard. This has nothing to do with whether I'm tired. I don't stress myself over other people."

After hearing him, Jooeun is dumbfounded. Indeed, the person that understood her the most is Jeonghwan. Even though she hadn't communicated anything to him, he still knew her intentions. Even Minjung, who had been with her for so many years, is slow on the uptake.

Jooeun placed her delicate face upon Jeonghwan's chest and murmured. "Back then, Is this how you became the CEO of GK?"

"Yes, and this is how I advanced one step at a time."

This is why they could sympathize with each other and could understand each other's difficulties and methods. Even if she used schemes, he understood the cruel hardships she's facing.

"Honey, if you want to make me sweat, you don't need to stick to me like this. There are other methods." Jeonghwan was originally feeling hot, but with the addition of his little wife in his arms, his body couldn't help but react. However, he is sick. He didn't want to infect Jooeun, so he gently pushed her away. "I'm going to go have a shower."

Jooeun looked at Jeonghwan questioningly.

"I'm afraid of infecting you..."

Jooeun smiled as she swiftly pushed Jeonghwan back on the bed and pinned him under her body.

"Then so be it. This can be considered as sharing our joys and hardships..."

Although the sick Jeonghwan didn't look like he normally did, he still unexpectedly made Jooeun want him. Thinking about this, Jooeun removed Jeonghwan's robe revealing his sweaty chest.

Jeonghwan's face is indeed slightly pale, but within his deep eyes, there's still an amused look, especially when Jooeun took the initiative. It seemed it isn't bad to be sick. He's obviously receiving more benefits than he normally did. Being with Jooeun, he's both physically and mentally satisfied. After all, with their mutual protection of each other, how could anyone not like it?

During this happy night, Shinhye is still hidden in her rental home. She practically never left the apartment. Seeing the entertainment news, she's devastated. The incident had become viral and she's in the heat of it. Whereas, everything is going well for Jooeun.

So good that she's a bit jealous!
