After hearing Jeonghwan's words, Jooeun smiled warmly. He's right. Liking someone is really that simple. As long as one wanted to do something, the other would accompany them. The couple understood what is most important to them and willing to give their all.

"Have you eaten?"

"I'll ask the maids to prepare dinner. You still have work tomorrow, so you'll need to go to bed early." Jeonghwan pulled her up from the sofa.

"The show will be tomorrow night, you don't need to worry." Jooeun responded by nudging Jeonghwan towards the bathroom. "Go wash up. I'll cook for you, it won't take long."

Jeonghwan is helpless around her. He didn't want to reject her enthusiasm, but he still reminded her. "Be careful not to burn yourself!"

"President Lee, it seems you treat me like a child. Don't strip me of the joys of being a wife."

Jeonghwan looked at her helplessly. Although to the outside world, she appeared to be impenetrable. But in front of him, she was like a child. In the end, Jeonghwan gave up and entered the bathroom to have a shower. After he quickly freshened up, he returned to the dining room to find delicious noodles waiting on the table as Jooeun pulled out a chair for him.

Jeonghwan's chest filled with happiness. A simple joy like this is extremely precious. No matter how much power he possessed, it did not compare to having the person he loved to prepare a bowl of noodles for him.

"You don't like it?"

Jeonghwan shook his head as he sat down and ate to his heart's content.

Jooeun sat beside him and questioned him. "Apart from work, I've never seen you partake in any hobbies."

"The time I have off is only enough to watch one movie." Jeonghwan responded sadly.

"Then, after you finish eating, let's watch a movie together. After all, we can watch it at home." Jooeun suggested.

"But let me warn you in advance. The things I like to watch, you may not enjoy."

"Why does that matter?"

Jooeun is a fast learner. What Jeonghwan had said about accompanying her, made her extremely touched. Previously, Jeonghwan had always kept her company. So from now on, she wanted to understand him more.

After dinner, as promised, Jooeun watched a movie with Jeonghwan. He thought she would fall asleep. But instead, she was completely immersed the entire time. They even exchanged their thoughts on the plot throughout the movie. It was such a great feeling. At least, they both wanted to be a part of each other's world.

...

The next morning, Jooeun received a call from Seo Yeji while she was still in bed. "Jooeun-ssi, how are you feeling today?"

"Please speak freely and comfortably, President Seo." Jooeun smiled. She didn't like to beat around the bush.

"Tonight at Royalty's show, I have instructed Park Hyomin to bring the new models there to watch and learn. You might run into each other."

After hearing this, Jooeun realized Seo Yeji was giving her an opportunity to slap Hyomin in the face and cure her hatred. Jooeun was silent for a moment before responding. "President Seo, I don't want to cause trouble unless Miss Park doesn't know how to control herself."

"Since I gave you this opportunity, you should make the most of it."

The reason for Seo Yeji's actions was that she too, felt Hyomin had done too much scheming behind her back. More importantly, there is currently no one in Sublime that could make Hyomin suffer. By getting Jooeun to make a move, she had not only done a favor for Jooeun, but she also had the opportunity to teach Hyomin a lesson. Why not?

Jooeun loathed the feeling of being used by others. During the years she was being emptied out by Yonghwa, she had already suffered that feeling too many times.

"President Seo, you don't need to worry. I know what to do."

Yeji was satisfied because Jooeun knew when to advance and when to retreat. Inside, she was overjoyed that she had signed Jooeun onto Sublime. However, Jooeun was simply focused on doing her best at Royalty's show.

As long as Yang Jing didn't go too far!

3 PM.

Seeing it was still early, Jooeun instructed Minjung to drive to a spot nearby GK. She wanted to personally pick Jeonghwan up from work. The two sat in the car listening to the radio. They happened to come across news regarding Jennie Kim, so Minjung subconsciously changed the station.

"Jooeun, are we going to let Jennie continue to be spoilt in this way? She is using the nickname of Mini-Jooeun too recklessly." Minjung felt the situation was a bit unfair.

"Mini- Jooeun isn't Jooeun. There is an extra word at the front. Even if she is to get rid of that word, she will still not become me." Jooeun did not appear to be affected by Jennie.

"But..."

"Unnie, she's only using the name Mini- Jooeun, she hasn't done anything to me. Do you think I should go cause trouble over a nickname? That's a bit unreasonable..." Jooeun shook her head. "I've already said it multiple times: It's not that I won't seek revenge, it's just not time yet."

Minjung stuck out her tongue and stopped talking. Although she liked to complain, she wasn't the type to be reckless. She knew Jooeun had her own plans, but her enemies had not yet thrown their attack. As soon as Jennie made a move, Jooeun would definitely not disappoint her enemy's provocation. This was her attitude after her comeback.

After arriving downstairs at GK, Jooeun made a phone call to Jeonghwan. "President Lee, can you return my husband to me yet?"

Jeonghwan couldn't help but smile as he looked at the time. "It's only 3pm, isn't it too early to finish work? Didn't we agree to see each other at the show?"

"But I want to pick you up from work and have dinner first."

"Are you at home?"

"I am downstairs at your company." Jooeun whispered.

"Wait for me, 5 minutes."

Jooeun smiled as she hung up the phone. Seeing her expression, Minjung couldn't help but turn to her and say, "Have you noticed, you smile quite often these days? Not too long ago, when you were being bullied by Yonghwa, I thought I'd have to face your cold expression for the rest of my life."

At the mention of Yonghwa, Jooeun was obviously dumbfounded for a moment. Minjung quickly slapped her own mouth. "Sorry, I didn't control my mouth, allowing it to spout nonsense."

Jooeun lowered her head as nothing happened. Not long after, Jeonghwan found their car and naturally stepped inside. "How come you came so suddenly?"

"If I didn't come, would you have just eaten the non-nutritious food at work?"

Jeonghwan embraced her and smiled. "It's not that bad."

"Actually, I didn't plan this. I just suddenly felt like it, so I came. Hwan, does my uncertainty make you uncomfortable sometimes?"

Jeonghwan knew Jooeun is very careful about their relationship.

"Don't worry. From now on, I will relax and put my faith in you."

Jeonghwan gently stroked her shoulders without saying a word. He understood that Jooeun was always so careful because she didn't want to cause unnecessary troubles. It's just that sometimes, in situations where she would benefit from his help, she would choose to face them on her own. It made him feel like he wasn't needed. But it turned out, she understood this and had specifically come to explain herself.

So away from Jooeun's view, Jeonghwan let out a smile. Seeing his smile through the rear-view mirror, Minjung felt light-headed, he was too handsome.
