“Yes, that’s correct. Although I haven’t been gathering stocks for long with Mrs. Kim Jiwon, it seemed inevitable. In fact, the number of stocks I collected was quite substantial, but when combined with Mrs. Kim Jiwon, it would almost equal the shares owned by Chairman Cha Seungjo. However, it’s still too early to relax, so if Father could also gather C&C Global stocks, it would be a great help.”
Chairman Eun nodded vigorously at Jiyeon’s words.
“There’s one more thing I’d like to ask, Father.”
“Speak.”
“To overturn the situation at this shareholders’ meeting, we need a capable leader to replace Chairman Cha Seungjo and Cha Minwoo. We’ve approached Director Cha Yumi of C&C Global, but there’s still a weak point in persuading the shareholders. It seems that the projects she led, although solid, were relatively small in scale. Please see if there’s a suitable person for this position.”
Upon Jiyeon’s words, Chairman Eun Juhun, President Eun Jihu, and Director Eun Jieun had identical expressions.
As if asking, “Why worry about such things?”
“Why look far away? The answer seems to be right here, doesn’t it?”
“Yes?”
“Director Lee Kanghyun. Is there a more suitable candidate than him?”

Sunday, ‘J Shop,’ famous for bridal hair and makeup.
Jeong Se-ah was meticulously doing her makeup and hair early in the morning.
Around her, prospective brides were seen preparing for studio shoots or weddings.
“You seem to be going to a very important place today. Seeing you putting so much effort into your makeup and hair.”
The head of the makeup department smiled and asked Se-ah.
“I have an engagement ceremony today.”
“Oh my! I see. Are you wearing a dress? Did you plan a more sparkling concept?”
“No, not really. Now is just right. I want to look a bit innocent. I want to appear somewhat delicate, like someone you’d want to protect.”
“Then, now is just perfect, bride. Can I call you that since you’re having an engagement ceremony?”
“Yes, that’s fine.”

“Your face is so small and fair that any color suits you well. Especially, the beige tone and pink beige highlight I used now suit your face perfectly. I’ll add some more vitality with blush. You’ll look exceptionally innocent.”
The head of the makeup department’s hands were busy again.
The makeup, almost resembling bridal makeup, but extremely natural, made Se-ah’s face appear smaller and more beautiful. The roughened skin and dark circles under her eyes had disappeared, making her look flawless. The dramatic yet natural-looking eyelashes made Se-ah’s eyes appear even larger.
The hair tied down complemented Se-ah, making her look elegant and beautiful.
“Well then, what do you think? Is there anything you’d like to modify?”
The confident question from the head of the makeup department was like proof that everything was perfect now.
“No, it’s great as it is. Thank you, Director, for your hard work.”
Smiling with satisfaction, Se-ah left J Shop after paying and headed to a nearby dress shop.
She was going there to find the reserved dress.
Wearing a lace one-piece dress that clung to her body down to her calves, Se-ah looked like a beautiful person going to a special place that anyone could see.
“Oh my~ Your figure is fantastic, it fits perfectly! You mentioned you have an engagement ceremony today, right? However, your belly’s blessings are quite noticeable. Is that okay with you? Or, if you wear this tutu style, it won’t show at all… Would you like me to show you?”

The owner of the dress shop expressed concern while looking at Se-ah’s belly.
The lace one-piece dress that clung to her body so tightly that it was almost hard to breathe made Se-ah look beautiful but emphasized her protruding belly due to pregnancy.
“No, it’s just right now. Since only the prospective groom and mother-in-law are aware of the blessing in my belly, I plan to surprise everyone who attends the engagement ceremony as an event. This dress makes me stand out and at the same time highlights the blessings, so I really like it.”
“Oh my~ People will be so surprised. Still, as it’s a child who came like a blessing, you’ll receive everyone’s blessings through the engagement ceremony. Congratulations, bride.”
“Thank you, shop owner.”
Looking at her reflection in the full-length mirror with great satisfaction, Se-ah muttered quietly to herself.
“Cha Minwoo… Congratulations on the engagement, my love.”
1:00 PM, S Hotel 2nd floor Crystal Room.
Cha Minwoo and Park Minkyung arrived early at the hotel, rehearsing briefly at the engagement ceremony venue.
Close relatives, executives from affiliated companies, and important business partners were invited.

It was an intimate gathering, with around 100 people invited, as it was not a wedding.
Minwoo found the engagement ceremony troublesome, but he endured it because there was much to gain, fulfilling Park Minkyung and Min Kyung’s mother’s wishes.
Even in preparing for this engagement ceremony, Minwoo had to sweat a lot, mediating between Kang Juran, who wanted to wield her influence as she pleased, and Min Kyung.
“Min Kyung’s mother is quite stubborn and young. If she just wears what she’s told, it would be better. I really don’t understand why she insists on wearing a dress with such a low back in front of so many adults.”
“Mother, what you’re saying is too old-fashioned. Who wears like that these days? Also, this is my dress, so my mom and I will decide. Mother, please take care of Minwoo oppa. Of course, Minwoo oppa’s style should also match my dress, but…”
Juran tried to intervene in everything, including Min Kyung’s dress, hair, makeup, etc., but Min Kyung never yielded to her stubbornness.
Although Juran was boiling inside at Min Kyung’s silent resistance, she endured it as she had to finish this engagement quickly.
‘I want it to end quickly and rest at the hotel. I’ve been so busy this week that I haven’t had a break.’
While Minwoo’s body followed the planner’s instructions, his mind was filled with different thoughts.
Next to S Hotel 2nd-floor Crystal Room, Powder Room.

Looking at the time, it was 1:50 PM, the time for the engagement ceremony to start soon.
Se-ah sent a message.
[Let’s gather in front of the Crystal Room when the engagement ceremony starts at 2 PM.]
[Yes, sounds good.]
When they arrived at the hotel, it was just as mysterious as the person who sent the engagement invitation had said.
Access was controlled from the entrance of the hotel’s second floor, and without an invitation, they almost couldn’t enter the engagement venue.
There were three people who came with Se-ah.
Four people had safely passed through with invitations.
Just in case she might encounter Kang Juran and Mr. Cha, Se-ah cautiously entered a hidden spot inside the powder room where no one could see her.
The tightly fitting lace dress was incredibly uncomfortable, but she couldn’t give up.
For the past few days, she couldn’t have a proper meal, and she even felt a bit dizzy, but she had to endure.

After all, in a few hours, she would be able to take off the dress and rest.
‘For today’s climax, I can endure this level of discomfort.’

Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
