Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 130: Sealed With a Kiss

Jooeun's eyes fired up. She did not respond.

Kangjun had a mixed expression but nodded anyway. "I will do what I should do..."

"Jooeun, I won't force you. But think about it carefully."

"No need to think. If we get exposed, I will take full responsibility. We are inseparable." Jooeun responded in a serious tone. Her voice was firm and did not contain a trace of doubt.

Yeji looked at Jooeun thoughtfully and smiled. "Then let's not worry about it anymore. By the way, have you guys seen the news about GK?" Yeji poured them each a glass of red wine. "Two international superstars is a huge loss for GK."

Hearing the words 'GK', Jooeun's expression became sad. All she could do was clink wine glasses with Yeji, but she did not say a word.

"Jooeun, in all honesty, have you ever considered joining GK?"

Minjung wanted to laugh as she stood to the side, but she didn't dare. As if Jooeun needs to go to GK! She is already the wife of GK's CEO and owns half of Jeonghwan's shares.

"GK is not a place that I can go to, just because I want to." Jooeun was aware of how strict Jeonghwan managed his business. A model like herself was common, she wasn't even worthy of mentioning.

"I've always wanted to go to GK, I want to try out the role of the CEO's wife." Yeji laughed. In reality, her words were 30% joke and 70% truth. It was just that, Jeonghwan was too hard to get close to, he never gave any woman a chance. But of course, they had no chance. His wife was currently sitting right opposite Yeji.

Jooeun glanced at Minjung, gesturing her not to reveal any emotions. Minjung was annoyed as she stuck her tongue at her.

After their meeting with Yeji, Kangjun obediently escorted Jooeun home. "Where do you live?"

"Nine One Hannam." Jooeun replied. Seeing Kangjun start up the car, she reiterated. "Don't forget what you promised me. You will not interfere with my private life."

"You don't need to put your guard up." Kangjun replied helplessly. "Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. Bohyun and Hyomin on the other hand, aren't easy to deal with, so I will need some time to prepare."

"Those two have set up so many traps for our Jooeun. Luckily, they haven't succeeded once." Minjung exclaimed. "Do they think Jooeun is easy to bully?"

This was exactly the reason Kangjun admired Jooeun. Even when surrounded by Hyomin and Bohyun, she was not suppressed. Instead, her popularity continued to rise.

"They owe me quite a lot."

Jooeun had heard about Kangjun's relationship with Jiwon and was aware that he used to be close friends with Hyomin. However, whatever happened between them, only they knew.

"Prepare yourself well for the Contract Signing Ceremony."

Jooeun was the protagonist, so of course, she had to be well-prepared. Hyomin had previously caused a commotion, so she wasn't going to let her get her way this time. As for Bohyun, after what he did at the charity event and all the schemes he set up against her, she wasn't going to let him off easily.

After returning home and looking at the empty living room, Jooeun was tempted to give Jeonghwan a phone call. But realizing it was 2 AM in the US, she didn't want to disturb him. In the end, Jeonghwan sent her a message first. "Are you home yet?"

Jooeun's heart lit up as she replied quickly. "Did Minjung unnie tell you?"

"I was worried, so I made Minjung report every little detail."

Jooeun smiled as she held onto her phone and called Mo Ting.

"I saw the news about GK, have you made any progress?"

"The matter has been solved." Jeonghwan replied casually.

"When will you be back?"

"After I see a few more people." Jeonghwan sounded a bit tired.

"I miss you." Jooeun was hesitant, but in the end, she gathered her courage and spoke with her heart.

Hearing these three words, Jeonghwan couldn't help but sit up in bed. He wanted so badly to wrap Jooeun in his embrace. So he didn't just think it. He immediately put his thought into action as he instructed Taejoo to help him book a flight and left the follow-up work for Kit to handle.

Jeonghwan had always dealt with matters quickly. After determining the value of the production crew for 'Deadly', he immediately negotiated with Kit, became the main source of funds for the film, and took full control of the crew. Afterward, he replaced the staff involved with the explosion, sent them a legal notice, and demanded them to compensate for loss and injuries made to his actors.

After a busy day, he finally got some time to rest, but at that moment he received a phone call from Minjung. "Big Boss, you are a real distraction to our Jooeun."

"Huh?" Jeonghwan didn't understand what she meant.

"Did you know Jooeun's mind has been elsewhere ever since returning from the US? I asked if she was afraid of a second betrayal and do you know what she said?" Minjung said proudly. It wasn't every day that she had the chance to tease the Big Boss.

"What did she say?"

"You should ask her yourself." Minjung said playfully as she hung up the phone.

Jeonghwan bit his lip helplessly. Jooeun's assistant really needed to be taught a lesson. In reality, he too was a bit distracted. Especially when Jooeun wasn't by his side. So he picked up his phone again and sent her a message. "I will never hurt you, so can you tell me what you told Minjung?"

After seeing the message, Jooeun was a bit confused. She remembered how she had told Minjung she had fallen in love with Jeonghwan. Her face flushed red as she replied. "No, I can't."

"I feel we are thinking the same thing." Jeonghwan deliberately gave Jooeun a chance to avoid answering him.

"What are you thinking?"

"I'll tell you when I get back. I might need to stay here for another week..."

Jooeun's curiosity had been sparked. However, the thought of having to wait a whole week to see Jeonghwan again made her sad again.

Jeonghwan didn't explain anything. He gently convinced her to go to sleep. Jooeun was extremely tired as she hugged Jeonghwan's pillow and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Kangjun arrived to pick up Jooeun. He had accepted the front cover shoot of a top-level magazine for her. However, as she headed downstairs, she heard the noise of the front door opening. In shock, she froze, thinking it was all a dream.

Jeonghwan put down his luggage and spread out his arms. Jooeun immediately leaped into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"I miss you, I like you, and I may possibly even love you." Jeonghwan said as he kissed Jooeun's forehead.

Hearing Jeonghwan's confession, Jooeun was dumbfounded.

"I told you, I would tell you everything once I got back."

Jooeun pulled away from Jeonghwan's embrace, her eyes began to turn red. Even when she was betrayed by Jung Yonghwa, she wasn't this emotional.

"Jooeun, I will only say this once. Because from now on, I will express it through my actions. Let's seal it with a kiss. If you can feel my love, then let me know by giving me a kiss."

Jooeun lowered her head and thought for a moment before lifting her head. Grabbing onto Jeonghwan's neck, she drew him in for a loving kiss.
