With poisonous jealousy, Ji Yeon gritted her teeth and alternately looked at the two people sitting side by side. But outwardly, she blinked with innocent eyes.
“But brotherinlaw is so cool and gentle, contrary to the rumors, I was really surprised. I wonder why such rumors started. I didn’t know…”
Ji Yeon, who didn’t forget to smile with her eyes, appeared to be nothing but curious on the surface.
Min Hyuk smiled at the corner of his mouth. Ji Yeon, who seemed to have only greed as a child, also seemed cute as she circumvented and belittled others without malice.
“Sisterinlaw.”
“Yes! Brotherinlaw.”
“Did you know that Da Hyun had an accident?”
“What?”
Ji Yeon’s face, which had been halfcolored, quickly hardened.
Da Hyun’s eyes, who had been quietly watching Ji Yeon’s rampage, widened.
“To add to what I was saying, that’s not a false rumor.”
“What?”
Ji Yeon, who had been showing off her eloquent speech just a moment ago, was flustered.
“I’m usually not nice because I’m next to Da Hyun. Ah, it’s past tense now. Because we have Da Hyun.”
Min Hyuk, who said the rumor was true, looked at Da Hyun with loving eyes.
Da Hyun turned her head and stared at the side of Min Hyuk’s face, calmly receiving Ji Yeon’s words.
It was strange. Even knowing his words were fabricated lies, they felt sincere.
If his goal was to overthrow Gang Si Hoon and sit in the president’s seat, he didn’t have to do such annoying things.
He stood on my side as if he was thinking of becoming a real couple.
“Oh, it seems you really love my sister. I’m so curious how my sister captivated my brotherinlaw’s heart in such a short time.”
Ji Yeon, with trembling lips, forced a smile.
“It’s a secret. I don’t want to tell our memories to other people. I’m sorry, sisterinlaw.”
Min Hyuk gave a small smile to Ji Yeon and immediately turned his gaze to Da Hyun. He then reached out and gently grasped a halfbundle of hair, twirling it.
Crack, it seemed like the sound of something cracking could be heard somewhere.
“Oh, I see. It’s a secret. Haha.”
It was the sound of Ji Yeon’s pride cracking and about to shatter.
“Mi, Mr. Min Hyuk. It’s really cringey.”
Da Hyun, who had been listening quietly, stuttered. Even though it was acting, it was embarrassing to hear.
Embarrassed, Da Hyun bowed her head and hoped Ji Yeon would leave quickly.
“Even if sisterinlaw was originally my match, I wouldn’t have married her.”
Even while talking to Ji Yeon, Min Hyuk did not take his eyes off Da Hyun. He let a laugh slip at her stiff shoulders.
“You don’t have to say that in front of my sister, brotherinlaw.”
Ji Yeon didn’t believe his answer when she asked Min Hyuk at the department store why he chose Da Hyun.
“Sisterinlaw, what do you mean? I don’t have to say that?”
Even while directed at Ji Yeon, he was still lifting the corners of his mouth.
“Since my sister is nice, she would understand even if you had to marry her, right?”
Ji Yeon didn’t hesitate, even though Da Hyun was right in front of her. Da Hyun’s forehead crinkled at the utter lack of remorse in Ji Yeon’s tone.
Da Hyun let out a sigh. She wanted to grab Ji Yeon by the hair and curse at her with all her might, but it was a pity that she couldn’t do so.
“Do you really believe what my brotherinlaw said yesterday? Does it make sense that he kept eyeing you even though you haven’t been together for long?”
It wasn’t even love at first sight, but rather, he kept looking at you? How long could they have seen each other, after all? Ji Yeon was displeased.
“I also know that such a thing is a lie. It’s a strategic marriage, how could there be love? It’s all business.”
If you’re going to lie, choose something realistic. I can’t believe he made such an unrealistic statement when they hadn’t seen each other for more than a few hours at the arranged meeting place.
Da Hyun was conscious of when she should speak. She felt cautious about opening her mouth as she did not think this was a situation in which she could intervene.
“Your sisterinlaw is right. A strategic marriage is a business.”
“Isn’t it? Look at that. I know what I should know.”
She was slowly becoming bored of this place. It was tedious having to deal with Ji Yeon indefinitely.
“But I’m not.”
“Huh?”
He had accepted knowing that it wasn’t a meal, but to see how Ji Yeon treated her firsthand.
And he was planning to show her that he was on her side.
To prevent her from simply seeing him as a business partner.
But he couldn’t help but get angry every time he heard Ji Yeon’s dismissive tone.
It seemed like it was time to shut Ji Yeon up and make her leave the house herself.
“From the beginning, I wanted Da Hyun, not the sisterinlaw. The fatherinlaw was trying to send the sisterinlaw. The person I wanted was Da Hyun. It’s just that there was no communication with the fatherinlaw in the process.”
Min Hyuk’s tone had cooled down from before.
“Sisterinlaw, didn’t you understand? The person I wanted wasn’t the sisterinlaw, but Da Hyun from the beginning. I summarized it and explained it, so do you understand what I’m saying?”
Ji Yeon blankly stared at Min Hyuk, who was saying he didn’t want her, with a smile.
Da Hyun’s face was no different from Ji Yeon’s. Min Hyuk was spitting on people’s faces with a smile.
“Well, I’ll be back from the restroom for a moment!”
Ji Yeon, who had turned pale, clenched her fists and stood up abruptly.
“Alright, take your time.”
There was nothing as calm as that. Min Hyuk was focused on touching her hair.
Da Hyun was bothered by his hand, which kept touching her hair.
Once Ji Yeon had completely left the dining room, Da Hyun glanced at Min Hyuk without animosity.
Min Hyuk’s eyes sparkled as if creating a spectrum of colours.
“I did well, didn’t I?”
Min Hyuk had become a wagging tail dog, different from when Ji Yeon was present.
“Did you act in the past, Min Hyuk?”
“No.”
Da Hyun shook her head and pulled her hair out of his grip.
Min Hyuk looked at the hair slipping out of his hand as if he was holding a handful of sand slowly escaping.
“I didn’t act.”
He rubbed his chin with the hand that had been clutching her hair.
“So, you meant everything you said?”
“Yes, I meant everything.”
Da Hyun’s hand, which was straightening her hair, stopped.
She couldn’t help but laugh at the plea not to lie.
He was looking at her with a distant and pathetic expression, insisting everything was sincere.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
