Min Hyuk concealed his fear and looked at Da Hyun again.
“Da Hyun.”
“Yes?”
Da Hyun slowly opened her eyelids after having them closed.
Min Hyuk hesitated before asking cautiously, “What do you think it would have been like if we had met in the past?”
“Why are you asking that all of a sudden? Is it because I dreamed of meeting you in the past?”
“Yes.”
Da Hyun pondered Min Hyuk’s question. Having seen scenes of meeting him in the past several times, it didn’t take her long to think.
Min Hyuk bit the inside of his mouth, showing his anxiety. He couldn’t reveal his nervousness, fearing she might suspect something.
“Um… wouldn’t it depend on what kind of connection we had?”
Da Hyun thought it would depend on how they met in the past.
“But the scene of us meeting in the past seems a bit nonsensical yet interesting.”
“……Really?”
“Yes, Uncle Si Hoon, like Han Ji Yeon, wouldn’t send someone else to his arranged meeting. And I don’t remember, but I did meet Uncle Si Hoon, right?”
Da Hyun laughed, unaware that the scene she saw was real. Did she think it was impossible for Min Hyuk to have taken Si Hoon’s place at the arranged meeting?
Da Hyun didn’t remember that her first encounter with Min Hyuk was indeed at an arranged meeting with Si Hoon.
“I don’t know why I momentarily thought it wasn’t just a dream.”
Da Hyun now dismissed the past she saw as merely a dream.
Min Hyuk couldn’t tell her it was real.
Why did he deny it when she asked if they had met in the past?
In the end, he lied to Da Hyun again.
“Thank you, Min Hyuk.”
Min Hyuk felt guilty as Da Hyun thanked him. He was puzzled why she was grateful.
“……For what?”
I’m deceiving you. There’s no need for gratitude.
Min Hyuk clenched his mouth shut, unable to say what he truly wanted to.
“For fighting for me. You’re the first person to stand up to my father for me.”
Da Hyun moved away from the topic of the dream and back to the issue with her father, Su Cheol.
“But are you really okay?”
“Yes, I’m okay.”
Knowing what she was worried about, Min Hyuk reassured her.
He wanted her to be stress-free and comfortable.
Despite knowing it was wrong, Min Hyuk decided to keep hiding his true feelings from her.
Feeling awkward facing Min Hyuk, Da Hyun coughed.
“Oh, right. I almost forgot because of my father. Min Hyuk, should we invite Yul to our place tomorrow? He knows I’m pregnant and said he would come over because I must be having a hard time. Is that okay?”
“Of course, it’s fine. Is it just him coming?”
With the topic changing, Min Hyuk felt a slight relief from the turmoil inside.
He was uncomfortable continuously deceiving Da Hyun, but he was relieved she changed the subject first.
“Yes, just Yul.”
“Yul always seems to bring another friend along, doesn’t he?”
Knowing that Min Hyuk’s reference to “another friend” meant Chan, Da Hyun shook her head.
“No. The other friend you’re thinking of isn’t coming. This time, it’s really just Yul.”
Da Hyun found Min Hyuk’s jealousy adorable and couldn’t help but smile broadly.
Despite Min Hyuk’s cold exterior, reminiscent of a swirling snowstorm, he was tender-hearted and endearingly sweet on the inside.
Da Hyun felt a secret joy in being the only one who knew this side of him.
Still holding Min Hyuk’s waist, she snuggled comfortably back into his embrace.
Min Hyuk, holding back his sadness, smiled and held her close.
He had a feeling that the moment Da Hyun would regain her memory was not far off.
Su Cheol returned to his mansion after work, his mood unchanged and deeply troubled. Nothing had been resolved.
“My husband. I need time to think.”
“Why is Kim Yoon Hee still not making any move? She got everything she wanted, is she just stalling now?”
From Kang Min Hyuk to Han Da Hyun and Kim Yoon Hee, nothing was going his way.
Yoon Hee kept saying to wait, and Da Hyun, despite being tempted with Yeon Sil as bait, only nibbled without biting.
He tried to coax Min Hyuk to come under him, but instead, Min Hyuk was manipulating him.
“I can’t just rely on Kim Yoon Hee.”
If he gave Yeon Sil to Da Hyun, she would cut ties with him without a second thought, even though she knew he was her biological father.
Moreover, Su Cheol had no intention of giving Yeon Sil to Da Hyun or anyone else.
Da Hyun was still useful to him. He planned to have her divorce Min Hyuk and remarry the divorced eldest son of Daemyung Group. Once he secured shares in Daemyung Group, Da Hyun would be of no use to him.
It didn’t matter if the eldest son of that family was a good-for-nothing.
“I need to keep Da Hyun until then.”
Yusong needed Da Hyun to reach the top.
He had no intention
“Fine. As long as Kim Yoon Hee is around, Kang Min Hyuk will never act freely.”
Su Cheol believed that Yoon Hee was Min Hyuk’s major vulnerability, and that was why he had summoned her. Yoon Hee had always been very useful to him.
Before Min Hyuk could leak the file to the media, he needed to hurry and negotiate.
“Whether Han Da Hyun regains her memory or not, it’s a problem either way.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
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…
