Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 149: Slapped in the Face by Cha Jooeun Again

The fierceness in Jeonghwan's expression had long disappeared, all that was left was worry and helplessness. He wrapped Jooeun's legs with clothes he removed from his own body and rubbed her hands between his until her extremities warmed up. Only then did he gently let go of her legs and look at her unhappily.

"I'm okay." Jooeun quickly said. Afraid that Jeonghwan wouldn't believe her, she stressed, "Really."

Seeing Jeonghwan remain silent, she continued to explain. "I am an A-Grade model. You should know better than anyone that I am not easy to deal with. I got to where I am today, not because of my tolerance. I know what I'm doing, so can you not be so worried?"

Jeonghwan remained silent as he diverted his attention to Kangjun who was currently sizing him up through the rearview mirror.

Kangjun had to admit, out of all the people he'd ever met in his life, no man had a gaze as piercing as Jeonghwan's. When facing Jooeun he could be gentle, but when facing others, he had to be dominating like a king. This man was Jooeun's hidden man. Up to this point, Kangjun still found it hard to believe.

"I will give Harper's a call and tell them to send over a new photography team." Kangjun quickly said.

"We will use our own photography team, I will pay for it. Harper's only has this one photography team and we already eliminated them." Jeonghwan said coldly. "I remember Sublime has a photography team called 'Fearless'."

"Although they work for Sublime, in recent years, they have only been following Ahn Hani and Shin Suhyun around. The internal departments have already taken it as a fact that they are pretty much their own personal photography team." Kangjun explained. From what he gathered, did Jeonghwan want to fight over the photography team with Ahn Hani and Shin Suhyun?

Regardless, President Lee, Sublime is someone else's company, how could you know more about the company than its staff does?

"Contact them." Jeonghwan's voice was cold. "If someone has the guts to scheme in secret, then they should understand the consequences!"

Kangjun froze. Did Lee Jeonghwan already know who the culprit behind the photographer was?

Regardless, Jeonghwan's words reminded Kangjun, now that Jooeun joined Sublime and was the one they were supporting and training, she naturally deserved the best resources. As well as that, from what he knew, Ahn Hani did not have any active jobs. In other words, the photography team was currently on a break. Since they belonged to Sublime, then why couldn't they use them?

Jooeun felt a little helpless because Jeonghwan preferred to talk to Kangjun than to turn and look at her.

She knew Jeonghwan was angry, but because there were others in the car, she didn't say much. It was not until they returned to Dynasty Hotel that she finally approached Jeonghwan from behind and embraced him in a hug to give her an explanation. However, after receiving a phone call from Taejoo, Jeonghwan grabbed a jacket, left a note on the table, and left to meet up with a business partner.

Kangjun and Minjung returned to the hotel opposite. As they neared their rooms, Kangjun's footsteps became uneven, it seemed he was hesitating about something. Seeing his actions, Minjung couldn't help but snicker before placing her hands behind her back and lifting her eyebrows at him.

"If there's something you are curious about, then ask."

"I want to know if President Lee is married. Is he serious with Jooeun or is he just playing around?"

"He's married." Minjung replied casually.

"Then how can Jooeun continue to be with him?"

"If you want to know, then listen to me carefully. The person he is married to is Jooeun. They are husband and wife." Minjung rolled her eyes. "When I first found out I was even more surprised than you. I even thought at one point, in order to get back at her jerk of an ex-boyfriend, she had married herself to an old sleazebag. It was only later that I found out Jooeun had married Big Boss. However, she does not wish to reveal their relationship. At the moment, they have a hidden marriage status."

After hearing Minjung's response, Kangjun let out a gentle chuckle.

How much more did Jooeun have hidden from him?

"Kangjun, it wasn't easy for Jooeun to get to where she is today. She depended on her own ability. Although she is the wife of Big Boss, she is still a professional model. So I hope you can treat Jooeun the same as you did before."

Kangjun glanced at Minjung. He realized she had a deep understanding of Jooeun.

"This secret, I will take to the grave." Kangjun did not intend to treat Jooeun any differently. If Jooeun was someone that wanted quick success and benefits, there was so much she could have done. She didn't need to waste time fighting like this. But in reality, Jooeun was Jooeun. Even if she was married to Lee Jeonghwan, she still had an aura that belonged to herself. However, he couldn't deny, Lee Jeonghwan being Jooeun's husband was definitely unexpected. Here he was, thinking the man behind Jooeun was living off her. In the end, it turned out she had married the most powerful man in the entertainment industry.

Absolutely! Unbelievable!

Kangjun felt like his face was swollen from Jooeun's face-slap. Of course, this wasn't the first time he had been slapped in the face by Jooeun.

Because of the incident with the photography team, Harper's shoot was temporarily postponed. Jooeun had no idea what Jeonghwan had said to Harper's. But at least, word had not spread back to Seoul about Jeonghwan dealing with the photographer. In fact, not even a word was leaked. This was consistent with Jeonghwan's principles. If he wanted to do something, there was nothing he couldn't do.

Jooeun gently sighed as she continued to wait for Jeonghwan. It was not until it was late into the night did Jeonghwan finally return to the hotel. Seeing Jooeun standing on the windy balcony with thin clothing, he immediately grabbed a blanket and walked out to wrap her up tightly. "Are you planning to kill me with anger? Huh?"

Jooeun gently laughed as she replied. "No one wants to anger you, you are doing this to yourself."

Jeonghwan gave her a slightly disheartened look as Jooeun took advantage of the situation to grab onto his hand and explain seriously. "You know I need you more than anyone. It's because I need you that I don't want you to help me in this way."

"I know what you're thinking. But it's impossible for me to watch you suffer and stand idly by. If it was you, would you be able to watch me being bullied?"

Jooeun looked down and thought for a bit before replying. "I wouldn't be able to do it either. But the Lee Jeonghwan I know would not allow others to bully him. If that day really does come, you wouldn't want me to see you in such a helpless state. So I will not appear in front of you, because that is your pride."

Jeonghwan was stunned. What Jooeun was saying was the truth.

"However, I will remember all those that have bullied you and I will do all I can to make them pay. Even if we have to perish together, I will not allow them to be any better off than you!"

Hearing these powerful words, Jeonghwan's handsome face finally softened as he pulled Jooeun into his embrace. "If all you want is for me not to interfere with you, then you have successfully convinced me."

"Uh-huh. However, I must admit, seeing you teach the photographer a lesson today was extremely satisfying." Jooeun praised in a serious tone. She then placed her face against Jeonghwan's chest. "Hwan, just wait for me a little longer."

Jeonghwan tightened his embrace as he whispered in Jooeun's ear. "Haven't I always been waiting for you?"
