Seo Ah, seeing his well-built back muscles, felt a twinge of jealousy at the thought of other women seeing him, but was relieved he hadn’t.
“Are you bothered that other women might have seen me?”
“No!”
Seo Ah widened her eyes and frantically waved her hands.
“So, should I call the housekeeper?”
“No!!”
Seo Ah dashed to stop him from grabbing his phone.
“Phew, don’t worry. No other woman has seen me like this.”
“No, it’s not that…”
As Seo Ah pouted, Ha Joon couldn’t resist and gently kissed her lips.
“It’s hard to resist you in the morning. I have to go early today.”
Ha Joon, who usually worked even on weekends, didn’t feel the usual Monday blues, but today he felt exceptionally busy.
Soon, Ha Joon, holding Seo Ah’s hand affectionately, came downstairs.
Yeon Suk, observing this, was surprised. It was the first time she’d seen them like this after their marriage.
“Master, are you leaving for work? I got an urgent call! Drive safely!”
Yeon Suk tactfully excused herself, and Ha Joon leaned down to Seo Ah.
“Looks like she stepped aside for us to peck?”
Seo Ah’s body heated up. She had initiated a kiss for the first time yesterday, but doing so in broad daylight was embarrassing.
“Ha Joon, you’re getting late.”
Startled, Seo Ah quickly kissed him. It was more of a brush than a kiss.
Ha Joon then held her face in his hands and kissed her deeply.
“Haah… I don’t want to leave for work.”
Seo Ah’s eyes widened in surprise. She had never imagined Ha Joon would say such a thing.
“Didn’t you notice? I’ve been thinking this every day.”
“Not at all…”
Embarrassed, Seo Ah twisted her body slightly and blushed.
[Star Icon]En route to work, Seok Hoon continued with pending reports.
“I found the perpetrator of the Madam’s accident. It’s in Daejeon. Shall I go and meet him?”
“After dropping Seo Ah at school, please go. Record the conversation. And after that, we should meet Choi Young Joo.”
“Understood. Also, as expected, the number Choi Young Joo used to contact the student was a burner phone. No significant movements from the broker organization yet.”
“Their aggression should have increased by now. Expect some movement soon.”
“Will keep a close watch.”
“How are the undercover female bodyguard and the disguised security at school?”
“We’ve positioned two at school, and we’re still finding the ideal female bodyguard.”
“We must ensure Seo Ah doesn’t notice them. She might mistake them for stalkers or feel watched.”
“I’ve instructed them, but will remind them again.”
Silence fell in the car.
Then Ha Joon chuckled, merely at the thought of Seo Ah, which surprised even him.
Noticing this in the rearview mirror, Seok Hoon inquired.
“Seems like Seo Ah doesn’t want a divorce.”
Not usually one to share personal matters, Ha Joon felt it necessary to inform Seok Hoon, who had been worried.
“Really? I knew it.”
Seok Hoon visibly brightened, taking the news personally.
“We’ve also resolved misunderstandings. Luckily, Seo Ah understood.”
“Well done! I always knew the Madam would understand. Really well done.”
Having been with Ha Joon for ten years, Seok Hoon felt a decade’s worth of tension release.
“So, since it’s my first relationship… Seo Ah finds everything I do burdensome. What do women like to receive?”
“What did you give her?”
“Trying to make things comfortable, I reserved a VIP private screening room for a movie, rented out an entire popular restaurant that usually has a two-hour wait so we could dine comfortably, and took her to an amusement park after closing hours so she could enjoy the rides without waiting…”
“It sounds like a grand gesture for a first date after confirming your mutual feelings, but it might have been too overwhelming for the Madam, considering her personality.”
“…”
“Maybe you should ask what she wants to do or eat next time? Take the lead if she can’t decide, but don’t rent out entire places. A more natural dating experience might be preferable for her.”
“I guess I should.”
“How about trying this first?”
[Star Icon]It was late afternoon, and the front gate of Seo Ah’s school was bustling.
Having finished her classes, Seo Ah, too, was heading towards the gate to meet Seok Hoon, who was coming to pick her up.
“What’s going on? Is there an accident? Did a celebrity show up?”
As her friends quickened their pace, Seo Ah, curious, hurried along.
But with the crowd, it was hard to see what the commotion was about.
Then, one friend climbed up on a stone wall, and Seo Ah followed suit.
She was speechless.
There, leaning against a luxury sedan with a bouquet in hand, stood a tall figure with a familiar face.
“Isn’t that your husband?”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
