The eldest daughter married early and lived separately, and the youngest son was in the United States. So, it was inevitable that the chairman, who had lived with Minyoung for the longest time, would be the most affectionate toward her.
“Father, before the meal, let me talk for a moment. I have something to tell you.”
“Sure.”
Naturally, Minyoung, with a cute gesture, grabbed her father’s arm as he was about to go to the sofa.
“Let’s go to my room. It’s more private.”
“Hehe. That rascal is something. Doing things he never did before is frightening.”
After conveying to the aide that he could leave, Minyoung closed the door after confirming that she disappeared.
The chairman sat on a reclining sofa, waiting for his daughter. Minyoung’s eyes, sitting in front of her father, sparkled.
“Father.”
“Yes, go on.”
“I want to get married.”
A smile spread across the chairman’s lips. Worry was evident in his eyes.
“With whom? You’re not thinking about just any guy, right?”
No matter how much he was her father, he couldn’t follow around his mature daughter. If he did, there was a high chance that the relationship between husband and wife would become strained. However, he was worried that something might go wrong again, and his daughter would get involved with another strange guy.
“Father, I won’t make the same mistake. I must have been crazy back then.”
Brushing off his chest, the chairman nodded his head.
“Okay. Then, tell me who this lady is.”
“Contacting her is unnecessary. Father, I want to marry Mr. Kangwoo.”
The chairman opened his eyes wide.
“I thought so.”
“Father, you liked Mr. Kangwoo, too. You said you wanted him as a son-in-law if only he didn’t get married.”
“Isn’t that under the assumption that he’s unmarried? Whether Cha Representative likes it or not, Mr. Kangwoo is already married.”
“He’s about to get a divorce.”
“Minyoung!”
The chairman raised his hand to the back of his daughter’s hand, placed on the table, as if protesting.
“While I don’t fully trust what Representative Cha says about his daughter-in-law, even if it’s true, why bother with you? Regardless of what happened between Cha Representative and his wife, it’s a fact that they got married.”
“They are soon to be divorced.”
“Minyoung!”
The chairman’s voice was unexpectedly stern and firm. Even during Kang Hyuntae’s case, it wasn’t to this extent…
Though there were no shouts or contorted expressions, it was stern. Minyoung knew it was her father’s reaction when he had made up his mind to cut off something without any room for reconsideration. She lowered her head deeply.
“I really love Mr. Kangwoo… While working together, our hearts naturally connected. My feelings are complicated, so I haven’t been able to handle work well these days. Mr. Kangwoo is trying to hide it because of his situation, but I can feel that he likes me.”
“Minyoung, I hope you won’t become the talk of the town again.”
“…Yes. I want that too. That’s why I need Mr. Kangwoo even more. A man who will honestly stay by my side.”
“What are you saying?”
In response to her father’s slightly softened question, Minyoung looked up at him. Her eyes were full of fear.
“Hyuntae keeps following me around, be it at work or home. He says he can’t let me go, regretting it.”

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi.
