Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 107: President Lee is Angry

"Godfather, you are wrong. Do you think he would be interested in someone like Cha Jooeun who is arrogant and has an average background? I'm not sure how she managed to get connected to Lee Jeonghwan, but in the end, she did indeed benefit."

"I don't think a man like Lee Jeonghwan could possibly be tied down by a measly model. He is the almighty king of the entertainment industry, he can have whichever woman he wants. So as you saw, although he helped Cha Jooeun, he refused to reveal their relationship."

"Just wait and see. Lee Jeonghwan will get married sooner or later and Cha Jooeun will fall from her perch. When that time comes, we will have the chance to go against Cha Jooeun." Minshik reasoned as he watched the backs of the trio disappear into the distance.

"How can you be sure that Cha Jooeun won't be the one that Lee Jeonghwan marries in the end?"

"Lee Jeonghwan owns so many resources. If he is to look for a suitable partner, he would definitely pick the daughter of a rich tycoon so it benefits his business. Cha Jooeun is just a toy to play with in bed, not the type to be serious with." Minshik replied.

CEO Park sneered as he crushed the wine glass in his hand. "She even dared to look down on JYP, I wonder how ambitious she is."

On the way home, the sky started to shower lightly. After checking if Minjung had been hurt, the atmosphere in the car became silent. Jooeun turned her body to face Jeonghwan. She realized his eyes are closed and he's currently resting, but Jooeun knew, in reality, he's trying to hide the anger in his eyes. Jooeun's heart was uneasy as she gently brushed the back of Jeonghwan's hand; he did not respond.

"Are you upset?" Jooeun asked gently.

"Uh-huh." Jeonghwan couldn't hide his feelings anymore. "You'd rather I send my bodyguards than to ask for my help? Did you think under these circumstances, mere bodyguards would be able to protect you?"

Jooeun is stunned as she tightened her grip on Jeonghwan's hand. "Sorry, I didn't know it would make you upset. But, you need to hear my explanation."

Hearing the word 'explanation', Jeonghwan finally opened his eyes. Although he's angry, he had never considered leaving Jooeun nor doing anything to hurt her.

"It was something that happened quite a few years ago. At that time, I was only 19. I met a French girl who had been working on shows for many years, she didn't care if they were big or small. However, she was only a fit model. Maybe because she was so desperate to be famous, she hooked up with a designer; this designer had a gangster background. He was also a known psycho who would do outrageous things in public. He trampled all over that girl at various events. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore, so she decided to leave him. But she didn't expect, to save her, her brother ended up being stabbed to death. As for that girl, she was force-fed drugs by the designer and never woke up. This incident caused a huge outrage in France at the time. That girl had tried to call me for help on the day, but because I was in the middle of a runway show, I...This incident has made me feel guilty for a long time. So after hearing Minjung unnie was in trouble, I lost my ability to reason. I didn't want you to get involved because I didn't want you to end up like that girl's brother. It's not that I took things lightly, I was just being extremely cautious. Jeonghwan, I was well aware of who I was up against. I've also played out the scene in my head multiple times: if I had picked up the phone that day, would I have had the courage to send myself to possible death. Later on, I finally understood: at that time, I may have been afraid. But now, even if I'm afraid, I would still take the risk, because that's how I deal with things."

Jeonghwan listened quietly as she revealed the secret she had been hiding for all these years. In the end, he let out a sigh as he gripped Jooeun's hand.

"First of all, I won't end up like that girl's brother. I know what you did is for my own good, but I don't want you to be good to me in that way, do you understand?" Jooeun was stunned for a moment before nodding her head.

"Do you know what you did wrong yet?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen again." Jooeun raised her fingers and promised. "President Lee can do whatever he wants with me tonight, as long as he is no longer angry at me. I can't take it anymore."

Jeonghwan had no choice but to control his anger. He thought about how Jooeun had debuted at 18-years-old. The few years that she spent in France by herself, she must have experienced the dark side of the industry. With this thought, Jeonghwan aggressively wrapped Jooeun in his embrace. "From now on, if you have any secrets, you can tell me. Don't keep it to yourself."

"There's too much to tell you..." Jooeun replied as she lay on Jeonghwan's chest. It turned out, Jooeun's professionalism came from years of training. She had talent, but more importantly, she had perseverance.

"Then tell me one every day."

Minjung is sitting in front of the car. Hearing the conversation between the two, she finally let out a sigh of relief. If it isn't because she's too careless, today's incident wouldn't have happened. Taejoo, who's driving, took a quick glance at her. Originally he wanted to ridicule her, but seeing the bruises on her hands, he felt bad. So he decided to crack a joke instead. "Aren't you a huge monster? How could you get caught so easily? Minjung, why didn't you play to your advantage?"

Minjung glared at Taejoo. "Did you think everyone is like you? You're so skinny, you can only be used as fish bait!"

Sitting in the back seat, Jooeun listened as the two argued. She smiled to herself as she quickly stole a kiss from Jeonghwan. He watched as she retreated. Suddenly, he hooked his arm around her neck. Without caring about the other people in the car, he went ahead and placed a passionate kiss upon Jooeun's lips. Tonight's incident made him extremely upset, so she definitely had to compensate. But he obviously couldn't wait any longer...

After returning home, the couple hurried into the bedroom as they tore each other's clothes off their bodies. Seeing Jooeun struggle with the buttons on his shirt, he pressed her against the icy cold wall. "Take your time, no need to rush."

Jooeun wrapped her long slender legs around Jeonghwan. His breathing immediately quickened. She couldn't help but smile. "Look who's in a rush now..."

Jeonghwan is silent. He couldn't be bothered undoing his buttons anymore as he tore his shirt apart. In an instant, his built and smooth muscles are revealed in front of Jooeun. She had never seen Jeonghwan like this; her cheek blushed red. Jeonghwan smiled as he grabbed Jooeun's chin and pressed his lips firmly against hers.

After they were done, the couple lay together in bed. Jeonghwan wrapped his arm tightly around Jooeun as he said to her. "I've already signed you up to the auditions at Sublime. But before that, I want you to attend a charity event with me."
