My Wife of the Cold Billionaire CEO
Volume 2
The morning after their tense moment on the balcony, Ha-eun expected Jisoo to pretend nothing had happened. But instead, she found the billionaire CEO waiting at the breakfast table—something he had never done before.
"You're going with me today," he said without looking up from his tablet.
Ha-eun blinked. "To your company? Why?"
"Because you're my wife," he replied, voice smooth but unreadable. "People need to see that."
But as they entered Kang Group headquarters, Ha-eun sensed the real reason. Employees stared—some with curiosity, some with envy, and some… with hostility.
Especially Yura, the elegant director rumored to have been close to Jisoo for years.
Yura stepped forward, smiling too sweetly.
"So this is your wife? She's… cute."
Cute.
A polite insult.
Ha-eun bowed politely, but Jisoo's reaction shocked everyone.
He placed a protective hand on Ha-eun's back.
"She's not cute," he said coldly. "She's mine."
Gasps filled the lobby. Yura's smile cracked.
Later, inside Jisoo's private office, Ha-eun finally asked the question burning in her mind.
"Why did you defend me like that?"
Jisoo paused. His jaw tightened.
"Because people think they can touch what belongs to me."
"That's not a reason," she whispered.
He stepped closer, eyes dark.
"You're right. It isn't."
For the first time, Ha-eun saw something raw beneath his icy exterior—something almost painful.
"Ha-eun," he said softly, "don't make me explain feelings I shouldn't have."
Her heart skipped.
Feelings?
For her?
