The diligent Exchange, who was playing with the spoon, hesitated.
“After getting permission from Grandma. She’s against it already.”
“Well, that’s that. Work is work. I’ll take responsibility and convince Grandma, so don’t worry, Dad.”
Smiling coolly with a lifted eyebrow, Hyojin looked at Exchange, who emptied the hangover soup in front of him without saying anything.
“Wait a moment.”
After finishing the meal and standing up, Hyojin came out first and neatly placed Exchange’s shoes by the door.
“Now, put on your shoes.”
Seeing the smiling Hyojin, Exchange’s Adam’s apple stiffened and went up and down.
Why does she keep doing this?
In a relationship that will end soon.
“Dad. Do you want to eat this?”
Hyojin, who left the store first, handed Exchange a lollipop with sugar on it as he came out after paying.
“Oh, thank you.”
I’ll feed you.
“Hurry up, eat it.”
Hyojin looked at Exchange with a shy smile, her unique crescent-shaped smile.
It was so lovely that Exchange couldn’t resist and pulled Hyojin closer, swallowing the candy-covered lips.
‘Sip…!’
Hyojin, who had her candy taken away in the middle of the street, widened her eyes and blushed to her ears.
“Dad…!”
Why didn’t you eat what you held, and why did you eat what I had?
Hyojin couldn’t properly confront him because of the people passing by, and her voice died down as she blushed.
“Why are you so surprised? A man and a woman got drunk and spent the night together. Didn’t you see it all?”
Exchange, rolling the candy that had entered his cheek, said more provocatively to avoid revealing his true feelings.
“Tayo. I’ll drive you home.”
Behind Exchange, who was walking to the car where the chauffeur was waiting, Hyojin raised her head and stepped back with a shy look.
“I’ll just walk from here. Please go quickly. You might be late for work.”
“Tayo. Because I won’t catch and eat you.”
Seeing the hesitant look in Exchange’s eyes, afraid of openly displaying affection in the car, he smirked.
“It’s okay. Go quickly. You’re late for work.”
Hyojin quickly bowed her head, thinking that Exchange might be late for work, and turned her feet first.
Thud. She opened and closed the car door sound, and as Hyojin, who was walking away, looked back with regretful eyes, her phone rang.
“Yes, Ms. Pyo. Hello.”
“What’s happening all of a sudden?”
Hyojin, who received a sudden call saying that Lady Pyo urgently wanted to see her, arrived at Sangrimwon by taxi.
“I don’t know either, but since it doesn’t seem like you called me for a good reason, I’ll brace myself for the worst.”
The housekeeper, who received instructions from Jahyeon and called Hyojin during her vacation, felt extremely embarrassed because it seemed like an unnecessary trouble.
“Thank you.”
Hyojin, feeling a sense of relief in the housekeeper’s concerned expression, loosened her tense lips and let her smile gently.
“Come in.”
“Yes.”
The housekeeper stood in front of the entrance where Jahyeon was waiting.
“Lady, Mr. Bong Seon-saengnim has arrived.”
“Let him in.”
The frosty voice opened the tightly closed sliding door.
“Housekeeper, you can leave.”
“Yes, understood.”
As the door closed behind her, Hyojin felt a chill in Jahyeon’s gaze that seemed to have turned on the air conditioner even in the middle of winter.
“Nowadays, flaunting yourself outside, saying you’re dating my son without even seeing me.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Without any room for excuses, Hyojin bit her lower lip firmly.
Did he call me because of that? Did Ganghanna instruct him to teach me a lesson?
“Can you lift your head?”
“Yes?”
“How shameless can you be? Let me see that smug face of yours.”
Seeing Hyojin’s innocent eyes as if she knew nothing, Jahyeon couldn’t hold back his rising anger and slapped her cheek.
Snap. With a sharp sound and sparks in front of her eyes, Hyojin collapsed to the floor.
“Ha…!”
What on earth is this?
Hyojin was so dumbfounded that she touched her cheek and looked up at Jahyeon in a daze.
“Why are you staring like that? Don’t know why you got hit? Should I hit you again?”
Once again, a palm flew towards her, but this time, Hyojin didn’t just take it quietly.
“What are you doing?”
The freezing eyes of Jahyeon, whose hand was caught in mid-air by Hyojin, trembled.
“How dare you…!”
Hyojin, her face turning bright red, felt a burning sensation on her cheek, but the humiliation was more unbearable than the pain.
Even though it’s my mother who gave birth to me, it’s hard to endure this kind of humiliation.
“Do you really not know why I’m doing this? Do I have to say those filthy things with my own mouth? What your father did to my Yoori Eemi!”
“What?”
My father and Yoori Eemi.
“What is this…?”
For a moment, Jahyeon’s eyes, held captive in Hyojin’s hand, shook as if they were about to roll.
How can he dare…!?
Hyojin, with her hand still grasping Jahyeon’s arm in the air, felt an icy atmosphere that seemed to have turned on the air conditioner even in the middle of winter.
“I wonder how thick-skinned you have to be to do something like this? Should I show you my handsome face? Just how shameless can you be?”
Seeing Hyojin’s innocent eyes as if she knew nothing, Jahyeon, unable to control his anger, slapped her cheek again.
Snap. With a sharp sound and sparks in front of her eyes, Hyojin collapsed to the floor again.
“Ha……!”
What is this?
Certainly, one should ask why they are doing this in the first place.
“……!”
Hyojin, shocked upon hearing Jahyeon’s words, also looked up at him with trembling eyes.
No way…
Exchange stared at Jahyeon with chilling indifference.
“Yes, I knew. Is it over now?”
This crazy person. At that moment, Jahyeon, who had lost his reason, sent his hand towards Exchange’s cheek.
Slap. Seeing it land on one side of his face, Hyojin’s lips trembled, speechless.
He knew.
Unexplainable actions in his mind passed like a panorama.
“Hey, you insane bastard! How can you know that and stay quiet? Yul is here. Even if you’re crazy about a woman, can you do this when you think of Yul?!”
While holding onto Exchange’s collarbone, Jahyeon, looking coldly, stared at him.
“Isn’t it your mother who doesn’t think about Yul at all? Just because Yul went to school. If you see this, what do you think?”
In his extremely calm gaze, Jahyeon released Exchange’s neck, his hand having lost its grip.
“Ms. Pyo, please thoroughly investigate the household employees from now on.”
Holding onto the crooked tie, Exchange, looking like he could cut his throat right away, glanced around with sharp eyes.
“Especially if there is a day when what happened today reaches Yul’s ears, no one will stay quiet. Even if it’s his mother…!”
Ha, unbelievable.
Meeting Jahyeon’s sharp eyes, Hyojin’s strength drained from her legs, and she sat down heavily.
How did I raise him?
“Ms. Pyo, please take my mother out right now.”
“Why should I go? Drag that woman out first! Whether it’s Mr. Bong or Ms. Bongseonhwa! Make sure no one sets foot in our house again!”
Jahyeon’s voice, supported by the employees, echoed loudly in Hyojin’s ears, who was bewildered.
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…
