When Yugeon opened the door and entered, Chaewon’s expression was frozen.
Wondering what was going on, she spoke, “How about changing the room?”
Only then did Yugeon turn his gaze to carefully inspect every corner of the room.
There wasn’t much to see.
A large bed uncomfortably filled the room, squeezed between a small table and a dressing table, just to maintain appearances.
The room, as cozy as it could be if embraced all day, was undoubtedly the smallest in the hotel.
It was a moment when the peculiarities of the household were conspicuously revealed, a moment when Kim Madam’s cunning intentions were clearly exposed.
“I’m fine.”
Although sincere, he said it out of curiosity, and Chaewon’s eyes immediately focused on him.
She didn’t expect this kind of response.
If he finds this room more comfortable, what should she do…
Without waiting for Chaewon to stiffen further, Yugeon approached her.
When she flinched, Yugeon laughed and grabbed the small carry-on in her hand, taking her empty hand.
“Let’s go.”
Now, their hands naturally clung together like magnets.
Looking at their intertwined hands, Chaewon looked up his arm to Yugeon’s side profile.
“Why did you leave if you liked the room?”
“Now, because what Kim Chaewon says is the law to me.”
As Yugeon stood still, he pressed the button to call the elevator when he finally turned to Chaewon as if to be magnetically drawn to her.
She tried to maintain a nonchalant expression, but her eyes betrayed her effort.
No matter how you think about it, Choi Yugeon is in an extraordinary relationship, and it seems like it will last for a few more days.
With such a skillful ability to tickle someone’s heart with such an expressionless face.
“What if I insist on something?”
“Still, your words are the law, except for two things.”
With a curious expression, Chaewon turned her head to Yugeon.
“What are those?”
“One is parting.”
In front of his suddenly serious gaze, Chaewon nodded briefly.
Since it wasn’t a decision made with a light heart from the beginning.
“And the other one?”
“Twin beds.”
“…What?”
“Don’t think about it separately from now on. Including today.”
Startled by his warning-like words, Chaewon bit her lip in confusion.
As the elevator arrived with a sound, the door opened, and Yugeon pulled Chaewon’s hand as they entered the elevator.
“Shall I play a good classical piece for you, sister-in-law?”
Hotaewatched the two people sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Leaning on Jaemin’s shoulder, Rona, who was sitting in the back, raised her head and smiled gently.
“It’s okay, Mr. Hotaew. We’re almost there.”
“Isn’t it best to relax with prenatal education at home?”
Jenny, sitting in the passenger seat, pursed her lips with an unsatisfied expression.
For the first time, Hotaewas trying to spend some private time with Jaemin, and suddenly, Jaemin suggested spending the vacation together.
Unhappy Jenny, who intruded on their intimate time, openly revealed her displeasure.
“Hey, No Jenny. Are you going to keep making New Sister-in-law sad?”
In response to Jaemin’s cold voice, Rona lightly leaned on his shoulder, showing that she was okay.
“Prenatal education? What’s the big deal? It’s better to come out like this, enjoy the scenery, eat delicious food with good people, take pictures, and have fun. That’s a better form of prenatal education. Our little bean would prefer playing with the pretty aunt and the stylish uncle.”
“That’s right. Haha.”
Laughing and playing along, Ho-tae still glanced at Jenny, whose mouth was still open.
“We’re planning to attend the pool party here at the hotel tonight. But, sister-in-law, you can’t wear a swimsuit since you’re pregnant.”
“Why can’t I? I can wear one. They sell maternity swimsuits separately, so I prepared in advance. Don’t worry.”
Jaemin, who had been contemplating, glanced at Rona’s slightly protruding belly.
“Rona, but… doesn’t it feel a bit strange to go into the water? The pool water doesn’t seem like it would be good.”
“Who said anything about going in? I’ll just dip my feet. We came here to relax, not to swim, so don’t worry, Mr. Jaemin.”
Smiling, Rona quietly swallowed her breath as she looked at Jenny’s back of the head, which was facing out the window.
Now that they were going to become a family, she wanted to get closer to Jaemin, but it seemed like Jenny wasn’t pleased about it.
“But, Jenny, your style today is amazing. Your clothes are pretty.”
“Yeah, the clothes are pretty, right?”
“Yes, very pretty. But anything looks good on Jenny, so beautiful people look good in anything.”
Seemingly in a good mood, she smiled slightly.
Fortunately, the two siblings were weak against compliments.
Thinking that she wouldn’t be too difficult to handle, she received a short text message.
“I was busy, so I just opened the wedding invitation. Wow, congratulations, Rona. Finally, you’re going too.”
It was a day when congratulatory messages from acquaintances continued.
Jaemin also seemed to have regained his composure, and now he felt comfortable.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
