Kang Hyun’s room was filled with warmth and love that had just passed.
Ji Yeon, with her breathing roughened, was nestled in Kang Hyun’s arms, finding it hard to even twitch a finger.
“Should I get you some cool water?”
Looking affectionately at Ji Yeon and kissing her forehead, Kang Hyun asked.
Ji Yeon wanted to reply immediately, but her throat was hoarse, so instead of speaking, she just nodded.
After gulping down the water Kang Hyun gave her, Ji Yeon seemed relieved.
‘Even drinking water is cute… What’s that about?’
Watching Ji Yeon, Kang Hyun chuckled to himself, his thoughts amusing him.
He was exceptionally smitten with Eun Ji Yeon.
“Were you that thirsty? You finished a whole cup in no time.”
“Don’t ask when you know why.”
“Got it. It’s because of me.”
Ji Yeon, blushing, shyly snuggled back into Kang Hyun’s embrace.
“I have a concern, can you listen?”
“Of course. I’d stay up all night to listen to you.”
Clearing her hoarse voice, Ji Yeon asked Kang Hyun.
“I was torn about telling Kang Hyun… It’s been troubling me. But now that we’re getting serious, it doesn’t seem right to decide on my own.”
Kang Hyun held her tighter, worried but not saying anything.
“I’ve been collecting C&C stocks. Initially, it was just to put a brake on Cha Min Woo, who was awful to me. I didn’t have a detailed plan.”
“I see.”
“Eventually, as I got busier, I wasn’t focused on it, but then I thought it’d be good if Chairman Cha Seung Jo and Madam Kang Ju Ran got what they deserved. My brother helped, and my sister transferred her C&C stocks to me, so I accumulated quite a bit.”
As Ji Yeon’s sweat-dampened hair stuck to her face, Kang Hyun tenderly brushed it away, nodding.
“But C&C isn’t a small company. There’s a limit to what an individual can gather, even with substantial investment. I’ve collected enough to speak at the shareholders’ meeting, thanks to my brother. But then…”
“Then what?”
“Madam Kim Ji Won, Cha Seung Jo’s first wife, suddenly contacted me. I was so surprised.”
She shared about her recent meeting with Ji Won.
“Thinking about it, Kim Ji Won must have been deeply hurt by Cha Seung Jo. She must have endured a lot over the years. But her timing in approaching me with this proposal… It really makes me wonder. Is it genuine, or another scheme of Cha Seung Jo’s?”
“Thank you for sharing. It must have been a lot to consider.”
Quietly listening, Kang Hyun hugged Ji Yeon and then spoke.
“Actually, I have something troubling me too. I think I’ve found evidence of number tampering in a project Cha Min Woo was handling.”
Opening up, Kang Hyun briefly explained the details of his findings.
“I haven’t found conclusive evidence yet, so I’m still gathering more. I’m also looking for someone inside C&C who can provide more detailed information. Ideally, someone close to Cha Min Woo, but it’s not easy.”
“Cha Min Woo, truly a villain both inside and out. Such a social evil, this guy.”
“Given the situation, I think we should hold off on investing in Onyu Pharmaceuticals. I was planning to propose this when I meet Director Eun Ji Eun next.”
“That’s really kind of you, but… are you sure you’ll be okay, Kang Hyun? Touching such a big issue and opening it up, you might have trouble staying at the company.”
“Being a leader in a dirty place will only make you dirtier.”
Ji Yeon burst into laughter at Kang Hyun’s metaphor, unable to help herself.
“I may not be the best, but your boyfriend, Ji Yeon, is quite capable. I started from scratch and climbing up again won’t be hard. And so what if it’s tough? Overcoming trials only makes us stronger. Besides, we’re not worried about making ends meet.”
“Kang Hyun…”
Ji Yeon felt proud once again that this man was her boyfriend.
“Ji Yeon, if it’s okay with you, shall I arrange a meeting with Madam Kim Ji Won? I too… need to think strategically rather than just charging in. We’ll meet and if necessary, collaborate.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it.”
Ji Yeon replied, her eyes shining with determination.
“Ji Yeon, I think I’m really crazy about you.”
Kang Hyun said something unexpected.
“Why…?”
“Seeing how cute you are just drinking water, and how lovely when you talk, I guess I just love everything about you. Even now, while we’re having this serious conversation, I can only see your lips…”
Saying this, Kang Hyun gently kissed Ji Yeon’s forehead, eyes, cheeks, and lips.
“So, since we’ve had such a complicated conversation… maybe we need to clear our minds again?”
With that, he kissed Ji Yeon’s lips.
The light kiss deepened, and Ji Yeon opened her arms to embrace Kang Hyun once again.
“Will I be able to sleep tonight?”
Ji Yeon asked playfully, but her lips were quickly sealed by another kiss from Kang Hyun.
“Hard to say, when you’re this adorable.”
Tied up in meetings from morning till 3 PM, including lunchtime, Ji Yeon was so busy she couldn’t even stretch her back, let alone have lunch.
Thankfully, the rest of the day was less hectic.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
