Da Hyun realized that she was seriously considering her marriage with him.
First of all, it seemed that the reason Kang Min Hyuk had come to Korea from abroad was because the chairman of the HG Group, Mr. Kang, had temporarily stepped down from management due to health reasons.
The reason why he, who had been living abroad without any issue, returned to the HG Group was thought to be because he wanted to gain control of the HG Group.
What could be the reason for Chairman Kang to want to form an inlaw relationship again with Yu Song, which didn’t end well in the past? Could it really be because he wanted it? Could it be such a simple reason? Doubts continued to rise without being resolved.
Da Hyun considered the benefits he mentioned. Freedom. What she wanted was freedom. He said he would give it to her. If it wasn’t for the past unpleasant incident related to the HG Group, she might have accepted.
As he said, Soo Chul would not leave her alone to live like this. Even if she advocates for staying single, Soo Chul would not listen.
If a marriage proposal beneficial to the company comes in, she would be set up for matchmaking by Soo Chul and would be forced into a marriage she does not want.
Currently, Soo Chul was investing a lot in artificial intelligence and scouting developing companies.
Although it’s arrogant, she wondered if there would be someone other than him who would listen to what she wants. She was not sure.
She wondered if anyone had ever wanted her so intensely.
Therefore, as Da Hyun, she thought this might be her first and last chance.
She gave up trying to recall if anyone had ever desperately wanted her, as it gave her a headache.
It was when the efforts to appear as a real family between Ji Yeon and her stepmother seemed to become meaningless.
She was tired of the fake actions, pretending to be stupid, and acting like a kind person to make Ji Yeon stand out while wearing a mask.
“Just think about Ms. Han Da Hyun. Don’t think about other people. Your opinion is the most important to me.”
Noticing her heart being swayed, Min Hyuk murmured quietly.
Ring
It sounded like the whisper of a devil. Da Hyun, who was biting her lower lip, looked at her mobile phone.
“I’m sorry for a moment.”
Ji Yeon sent a text because she didn’t answer the phone.
Why aren’t you answering the phone? My friend said she saw Kang Si Hoon and Kang Min Hyuk in the hotel lobby yesterday, they’re really handsome, is it true?
Hey, you said you refused to meet already, right? Call me. I’m going to a restaurant now. I’m going to see him. If he’s handsome, I told you to go instead.
It was originally my seat. Come up with an excuse and get out. Wrap up nicely why I was late.
Ji Yeon’s urgency was felt in the consecutive texts she sent without a break. As soon as she heard he was handsome, she was rushing over.
Da Hyun couldn’t help but chuckle at the oppressive text. It seemed like she could hear Ji Yeon’s unpleasantly sharp voice in the text, which was far from how she spoke to her sister.
Da Hyun, who had been staring intently at the text from Ji Yeon without replying, opened her mouth as if she were bewitched.
She didn’t want to live a life where she was always ignored. She wanted to break this connection and free herself from her family. That was what she wanted the most at the moment.
She didn’t like Ji Yeon from the beginning, acting as if it was her rightful place. From the moment she was born.
She didn’t know why Su Cheol didn’t reveal Yeon Sil’s whereabouts and kept it a secret, but she thought that if Yeon Sil hadn’t been in a coma from the accident, it wouldn’t have been Ji Yeon but herself who was hearing warm words from Su Cheol.
The things in Young Sook’s hand should have originally belonged to Yeon Sil.
She had lived a good life, suppressing these hateful and resentful feelings because she didn’t want to be abandoned.
Sadly, she knew from a young age that there was nowhere to take her in if it wasn’t Su Cheol.
Unlike Su Cheol, she had no contact with her ordinary maternal family. So she tried even harder not to be abandoned by Su Cheol.
“I’ll… get married.”
She was surprised at the words coming out of her own mouth, but she had no intention of biting her tongue.
The worry she had been dragging around vanished with one text from Ji Yeon.
That arrogant thing. Annoying.
The corners of her mouth gently curved upon hearing the answer she wanted.
“You’ve thought it well. I’ll make sure you don’t regret marrying me.”
“But the convincing the adults part, Mr. Kang Min Hyuk should solve that.”
“Let’s do that.”
Da Hyun decided to stop acting coy in front of Min Hyuk. The mask that she had never taken off even in front of her family was removed by the man she met for the first time today.
She wasn’t embarrassed as if she was stripped bare, but her trembling hands were still not calm.
Her emotions, which had been suppressed for a long time, exploded like a volcano without warning.
The man she met for the first time stoked and brought out her emotions.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
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…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
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. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
