“I didn’t mean to deceive. It’s just an opinion.”
“That’s right. Dad, Se-ah’s dad is worried a lot.”
Lee Heontae chose to listen quietly for now. Jung Hyesu spoke, looking at Mi-jeong.
“Brother. How about you? Jaeho is a talented actor. It’s the age to be active.”
Mi-jeong smiled gracefully.
“Well, I want Jaeho to live doing what he wants.”
It was true. When Mi-jeong came into this house with Jaeho, all she wished for was safety and happiness.
It was a difficult but peaceful time. Jaeho grew up without causing any trouble, studied well despite not receiving much support, and, though his aspect of resembling his father sometimes pricked Mi-jeong’s heart, she still wanted to raise him as a child unrelated to the Taemyung.
However, when the fire incident occurred, and Jaeho faced the crisis of almost sacrificing himself, Mi-jeong became terrified of everything.
How could a powerless and poor mother like her protect a child? If Jaeho had been living in Taemyung from the beginning, he would always have had bodyguards following him. No, there wouldn’t have been a situation like going on a field trip to a poorly constructed building in the first place.
So, they came to Taemyung. She knew that revealing the secret of Jaeho’s birth all of a sudden would confuse him, but at that time, it was the best choice. Thanks to that, Jaeho had the best life, so she had no regrets.
She herself couldn’t achieve happiness with the one she loved. So, Mi-jeong always felt like her heart had a hole in it. She wished Jaeho hadn’t turned out that way. She hoped he would become a person with a heart filled only with happiness.
“Well, then, it must be acting, right? Jaeho seems to be the best at acting. Isn’t that right, Brother?”
Jung Hyesu hammered the point.
Jaeho, who had been silently listening to the words of his little uncle’s family, finally spoke in a low voice.
“I’ll try to reduce acting a bit.”
Smearing a piece of soft fish on his plate, he deliberately laughed brightly.
“Grandpa, you should start the business as you wish. After all, there must be a reason why you appointed me as the successor.”
Usually, Jaeho wouldn’t have said such things, but after hearing suspicions about his father’s death, everything about Lee Jinhyeok began to bother him. Although the exact details needed to be investigated, the resentment that had sprouted already took its course.
“Originally, I went to the United States to major in business, wanting to inherit it.”
“Now?”
Lee Jinhyeok immediately frowned and reacted.
“I’ve thought about it a lot, Little Brother.”
“……”
“If you insist, I’ll consider taking it.”
Lee Heontae burst into laughter suddenly. At the sound of laughter spreading without any words, Jung Hyesu blinked her eyebrows.
“I agree too.”
Lee Jinmyeong, who was drinking a bowl of soup in one go, made a loud noise and joined the conversation. He didn’t forget to pat Jaeho’s shoulder twice.
“Hey. You thought well.”
Observing Lee Jinhyuk, whose forehead was narrowing, Lee Jinmyeong clenched his fist.
“It was originally Jinwoo’s position. Jaeho deserves what he has.”
“You…”
“Our poor brother.”
Naturally, while tidying his rice bowl, Lee Jinmyeong spoke.
“Sister-in-law and son, all gone tragically. If we truly love our big brother, we shouldn’t covet Jaeho’s things. What do you think of your little brother?”
“What?”
“Did you, too, love the big brother?”
The dining table fell silent for a moment. Lee Jinhyuk’s family couldn’t bring out the countless prepared words like weapons.
The strange flow of words reached the family, not Taemyung. If a counterargument followed here, it would create an atmosphere where it seemed like a rebellion of a brother who didn’t love his older brother. Lee Jinhyuk, who had tried to denigrate Jaeho’s successor qualifications by bringing various evidence, coughed lightly.
“That’s what you call words.”
“Right. Fortunately.”
Sensing the atmosphere turning into a humorous tone after mentioning the successor, Lee Jinhyuk put down his spoon, narrowed his forehead.
“Well, still, love and business management are separate…”
When Lee Se-ah protruded her lips to start speaking, Jung Hyesu reached down under the table, pinching her thigh slightly. If they argued like that, this side had nothing more to say. Lee Heontae, deliberately separating love and management, even if it was just a show, wouldn’t gain anything more by being taken away.
The losses, big and small, that Lee Jinhyuk had boldly made in his youth were quite significant, and Lee Heontae never once considered them a problem. In terms of ability alone, there were many geniuses far superior to Lee Jinhyuk. He couldn’t afford to look like a small father trying to take away his nephew’s rice bowl. There needed to be a pretext for the decision for the Taemyung. In the end, Lee Jinhyuk thought that he needed to gather more power.
“The soup is a bit salty.”
Se-hee, who was watching the situation, smiled awkwardly, trying to lift the mood.
“Still, the meat is really delicious. Grandpa, please have a little more.”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
