A Marriage So Lethal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 17

“Oh, did I ask too personal a question? I was just looking at CEO Cha and Ms. Se Ah, and I couldn’t help but feel a little envious.”

Min Young watched Kang Woo’s shifting expression with interest—the moment his long, narrow eyes flicked upward briefly.

It wasn’t a major disturbance, but she thrilled at the crack in his impassivity, as if she’d managed to chip away, however slightly, at an otherwise impenetrable fortress. A charm wholly distinct from his usual cold, emotionless demeanor emerged unexpectedly.
