Being Yusoong’s daughter, she would inevitably be the subject of public gossip, but since Su Cheol was Yusoong’s leader and Da-hyun was Su Cheol’s daughter, there was no other way.
“Until Chairman Han, your father-in-law, makes a statement, the media will be noisy. And you won’t be left alone by the reporters either.”
“I understand.”
Because she was Yeonsil’s daughter.
Minhyuk, who was about to call Su Cheol the chairman, corrected his address, considering Da-hyun.
Da-hyun was grateful that Minhyuk corrected the address to call Su Cheol the father-in-law. She had been concerned when he called Su Cheol the chairman in front of her before.
There was no need to be concerned.
Minhyuk already knew that Su Cheol did not think of him as a father-in-law. He could call Su Cheol whatever he wanted.
Da-hyun tried to accept the situation calmly. If the article had exploded without resolving the misunderstanding between her and Minhyuk, she might have lost her mind while barely holding on.
Now he was by her side. She could endure it because she wasn’t alone.
Minhyuk lowered the hand that was holding Da-hyun’s shoulder and took her hand.
Now, he didn’t want anything to bother her, and he wanted her to focus on prenatal education, but it was difficult.
“I won’t be able to go out for a while. Reporters, who are currently unseen, will soon gather in front of the house. They want to hear the truth from you.”
Minhyuk expected that reporters would flock to his house soon after the article broke.
Reporters would wait for Da-hyun to come out, no matter how tired they were, to get a statement.
Da-hyun had no choice. She had to contact Yul and let him know that she had returned home reconciled with Minhyuk. Since Yul hadn’t contacted her, it seemed he hadn’t seen the article yet.
“It’s okay, Mr. Minhyuk. Can you contact Ms. Kim Yoon-hee for me? It seems difficult to meet outside tomorrow.”
“Yeah, let’s do that. She probably vaguely noticed it after seeing the article.”
Da-hyun took out her mobile phone from her pocket and called Yul, but since he didn’t answer, she sent a text. Since she asked him to contact her, he would probably see the article and get in touch.
Minhyuk sent a short text to Kim Yoon-hee and contacted Sihoon to postpone the Yusoong illegal surveillance case.
If he revealed the illegal surveillance case first and then exposed the Yusoong slush fund, he could completely send Yusoong away.
But he was delaying it because of her. He didn’t explode everything at once for a simple reason.
Minhyuk, as someone personally attacking Su Cheol, felt both embarrassed and grateful.
Changing the subject, Minhyuk lifted the hand he was holding and gently placed it on her belly.
Then he exaggeratedly took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. Da-hyun watched his excessive actions with interest, blinking her eyes.
Da-hyun knew that he knew she didn’t care about the article, so she understood that he was exaggerating on purpose.
“I was going to go to the hospital, but it seems difficult. It’s awkward to run into reporters for no reason. Yeah, it’s better to call the doctor home.”
Minhyuk nodded, pressing closely to her. Although he blocked the hand Da-hyun was holding tightly, Minhyuk didn’t mind.
“What do you think?”
“Mr. Minhyuk, I’m really okay. I know my body well.”
“You may know, but I don’t.”
At least a health check to see if she was okay was necessary. She had been through a lot, and it was essential for her stamina to hold up. Considering the mental stress, her body might have suffered greatly.
“I’ve been so worried all this time.”
As Minhyuk’s face darkened, Da-hyun tightened her grip on the hand she was holding.
She knew Minhyuk’s feelings. Da-hyun was still shocked by the article, and her mind wasn’t calm, but for today, at least, she didn’t want to think about anything.
“Mr. Minhyuk, I don’t want to think about anything today. Can’t we talk about it tomorrow? It won’t change unless my father clarifies his position. Stressing over the already-exploded article won’t help.”
Su Cheol thought he might consider himself the initial perpetrator when he saw the article. If Yeon-sil emerged on the surface, Su Cheol would be in trouble.
Would a remarried man hide his ex-wife?
Certainly, there would be talks about something fishy. Who would believe that Su Cheol was taking pity on Yeon-sil, who was all alone?
Su Cheol had said that if it weren’t him, Yeon-sil would have died alone, sadly, when he was young.
“Why doesn’t Dad let go of Mom?”
Su Cheol was most concerned about what to do with Yeon-sil because of the article. Da-hyun shook her head, biting her lower lip.
Minhyuk pulled Da-hyun into a tight hug. It was even more heartbreaking to know that she didn’t completely forget everything just because she said she didn’t want to think about anything.
“You won’t do that. There must be a reason you’ve been with your mother-in-law for over ten years. You’ll never lay a hand on your mother-in-law, so don’t worry.”
In Minhyuk’s affectionate and warm tone, Da-hyun’s breathing, which was about to become rough, gradually returned to a regular rhythm.
As anxiety intensified, it slowly subsided, finding stability.
Da-hyun wrapped one hand around Minhyuk’s waist and closed her eyes.
She just hoped that Yeon-sil wouldn’t be harmed and that everything would pass.
Su Cheol didn’t know how to express his position and was on the verge of going crazy.
Without even publishing a rebuttal article, he had already become the prey.
He couldn’t deny it because he received a direct call from Chang-jung, not because he wanted to.
“Ah! Chairman Kang! This old man!”
Regardless of how he expressed his position, Chang-jung would prepare for the next move.
Su Cheol clenched his fist and pounded the desk.
It was truly an unfortunate and unlucky day, even for someone already unlucky.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
