Yoon-hee was sitting, but it wasn’t like she was sitting; there were no separate cushion seats.
“Han Da-hyun?”
Da-hyun, with her hair tied neatly like a lifeless doll, sat with her back straight.
This should have been a hint not to come if she had any sense.
He called Da-hyun’s name more than ten times. At first, she seemed like she would respond, but soon she became absent-minded again.
Meanwhile, Min-hyuk looked at Da-hyun with concern as she fell silent. Seeing Min-hyuk like that, Kim Yoon-hee inwardly clicked her tongue.
That’s a sickness. An incurable superior-subordinate relationship.
Whether the article had a significant impact on Da-hyun or not, she didn’t show any expression upon seeing herself and seemed to be locked in her own world instead.
If that’s the case, why call me here? I came prepared to kneel down and beg until my hands disappeared.
Kim Yoon-hee left the house provided by Soo-cheol and stayed at a hotel with Min-hyuk’s help. On the day she came out of Soo-cheol’s study, she received several calls from Soo-cheol, but she ignored them because there was nothing good to gain from answering.
Not long after entering the house, the police sent by Soo-cheol arrived, claiming it was a charge of home invasion. It was a great relief that she had managed to struggle down the stairs with a heavy suitcase just in case.
“Ms. Kim Yoon-hee, are you there? We are the police.”
If she had been a little later, she might not have been able to go see her beloved child, forced to become a criminal. In that case, she might never have met the child forever.
The reason she resented Soo-cheol so much was because of Min-hyuk and Da-hyun. She had no words to say because she had originally conspired to obstruct them.
Kim Yoon-hee finally gave up talking to Da-hyun. Although she had planned to focus only on Min-hyuk, it seemed she had forgotten even that.
No, it seemed that her existence was already invisible to her.
Kim Yoon-hee gave up on talking to Da-hyun and turned her gaze to Min-hyuk.
“By the way, what should I do?”
The way to be forgiven by Da-hyun ultimately meant that she had to do something.
“What? What do you want Kim Yoon-hee to do?”
Even though she called her name, Da-hyun, who didn’t respond to it, replied.
Da-hyun, who had been mentally absent, finally realized that she had been in a daze.
“Yes, it’s my job. Actually, the reason I came today was to apologize to Han Da-hyun once again properly and confess what I did, but it seems that might have to be postponed for now in the current situation. I was going to tell her everything, including how Chairman Han approached me and what he asked me. It seems like I should put that off for a while.”
Only now did Da-hyun realize that she was lost in thought.
“Yes, it seems like that’s what I should do.”
Da-hyun nodded and turned her head to look at Min-hyuk.
“Mr. Min-hyuk.”
“Yeah.”
“I’m sorry, but can you please vacate your seat for a moment?”
When she asked him to vacate the seat, Min-hyuk’s eyebrows twitched.
Are they going to talk privately?
Does she have the presence of mind for that?
Min-hyuk knew that he couldn’t have a clear conversation with Da-hyun and Kim Yoon-hee in their right minds. But why did she call Kim Yoon-hee today?
Could it be that she also had something to ask Kim Yoon-hee like I did?
However, Min-hyuk only thought about it and didn’t say it out loud.
“I’ll ask for a favor.”
Even though he knew that Da-hyun didn’t want to get up, Da-hyun smiled politely and asked again.
“…Alright. Just 30 minutes. No more than that.”
“Okay. Thank you, Mr. Min-hyuk.”
Her smiling face was too pitiful.
Min-hyuk was curious about the conversation they would have.
He also wanted to be with her. However, he couldn’t because he had promised her.
“Then talk after you receive an apology from Kim Yoon-hee.”
Min-hyuk got up and, with a cold gaze, looked at Kim Yoon-hee sitting across from him before smoothly leaving the dining room.
Kim Yoon-hee bit her lip until Min-hyuk left the dining room. He seemed to have something to say.
So he must have told her to hurry up. But seeing that he didn’t say anything in front of Da-hyun, it seemed like he planned to say it separately.
Kim Yoon-hee could see that Min-hyuk didn’t want to be separated from Da-hyun. She had become accustomed to seeing him loving and affectionate towards Da-hyun, unable to hide his love.
Fate is already predetermined, it seems.
“Han Da-hyun.”
Da-hyun had no pride, dignity, or anything like that. Right now, what was more important was what pleased her heart more than Min-hyuk’s.
He had firmly stated that he would support the medical expenses for her daughter, but he said he couldn’t do it unless Da-hyun agreed.
It meant moving Da-hyun’s heart by any means necessary.
Since Min-hyuk couldn’t see her, Kim Yoon-hee felt relieved.
If he hadn’t left, she wouldn’t have been able to say what she wanted to say properly.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
