“Then what about the teacher?”
I was trying to sort out my feelings for Dad, but.
“Does the teacher not like Dad?”
Looking at his own reflection in the child’s black eyes, Exchange strengthened his resolve and spoke firmly.
“No. It’s not the teacher; it’s Dad who changed his mind and wanted to break up.”
The teacher did nothing wrong.
“Where’s the justice in that?”
Seungyul got up, clenched both fists tightly, and glared.
“I’ll meet the teacher myself.”
“Yul.”
“I can’t believe what Dad says, so I’ll meet the teacher and talk directly!”
Seungyul, in anger, rolled one foot and, with fists clenched, turned his head as if to say he wouldn’t listen anymore.
“Yul…!”
Exchange stood up to follow, but again, a piercing headache, like a cramp in his head, made his vision blurry, and he closed his mouth.
Huh, why is this happening?
In the meantime, Seungyul, who had left the swimming pool, was getting smaller and smaller.
That night.
‘I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can grant that request.’
Exchange refused the request to stay with Seungyul until he goes to England.
Of course, how could he, when people would talk if they found out? There was a similar incident at Sangrimwon. If people hear murmurs, it would be…
Understanding that the decision was made for Seungyul’s sake, Hyojin still couldn’t hide her empty heart.
Ring, her mobile phone, lying on the drying rack vibrated.
‘Why would Dad call at this hour?’
Hyojin’s heart throbbed relentlessly as she pressed the phone to her ear.
“Dad. What’s going on this late at night? … What? Seungyul?”
Seungyul, who came in a car driven by a chauffeur, stepped down, breathing white breaths, and shouted.
“Teacher!”
Like Romeo coming to meet Juliet, going against the opposition at home.
[Dash] I’m sorry. Seungyul insisted on meeting the teacher, and I thought I should let him meet her at least once.“It’s okay.”
Already happy to see Seungyul, who missed her, Hyojin hurriedly put on her coat and went downstairs.
“Teacher. I’m sorry, it’s because of me.”
“Why? What’s there to be sorry for?”
Seungyul burst into tears with a sniveling cry and hugged Hyojin’s waist with both arms.
“It’s because I opposed the marriage. If I didn’t oppose it, Dad wouldn’t have broken up with the teacher. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry. I was wrong. Hooeung.”
Surprised, Hyojin, who was trembling and fell backward, wiped away the tears that clung to Seungyul’s eyes.
“What are you talking about? Seungyul. It’s not because of you that Dad and the teacher broke up.”
“Lie.”
Seungyul wiped away the tears with his elbow and looked at Hyojin.
“Teacher still likes Dad, right?”
“….”
“Dad said so. It was because of Dad, not the teacher.”
“Dad said that?”
What a fool. Why would he say such a thing?
“No, the reason the teacher broke up is not Dad’s fault.”
Hyojin gently stroked the child’s round occiput while shaking her head.
“Then why did they break up? Wasn’t the teacher in love with Dad too?”
“Of course, the teacher loved Dad. But getting married isn’t something you can do just because the parties involved like each other. As you know, there was also Grandma’s opposition.”
“But she said she would marry Dad!”
Seungyul couldn’t understand it even more.
“Maybe it was difficult for the teacher to love Dad too?”
“Huh?”
Exhaling a white breath, the eyes filled with anguish seemed to express deep inner struggles.
“I felt that way. Liked the teacher.”
“……?”
“If I could turn back time, I want to go back before liking the teacher. Then I wouldn’t have acted like this, and I wouldn’t have become a bad kid.”
Unable to tell the truth, Hyojin could only hold the child tightly in her arms and pat his shoulders. Colder than the freezing cold, the wind passed by, brushing against her heart.
“Since it’s cold here, let’s go somewhere warmer and talk.”
As Hyojin turned around with Seungyul, an unexpected unwelcome guest appeared in front of her.
“Where are you going?”
The stork returning home almost collided with Seungyul standing near her waist.
“Teacher, who is this man?”
A man? To her younger brother, who hasn’t even married yet!
Discovering a familiar charisma in the eyes looking up at him, Hwang Sae, with darkened eyes, trembled in the darkness.
“You, is it possible?”
Is he the boss’s son?
“Mister. Is he the younger brother who got into stocks and still hasn’t gone to college?”
Seungyul looked at him disdainfully, emitting a nasal sound.
“What? You told me not to even breathe near the boss. Are you pushing me behind and playing with a kid?”
“Well, I can’t help using violence on scum like you. Let’s go, Seungyul.”
“Where are we going?”
He wanted to follow out of curiosity.
“Don’t bother us. We have something to talk about alone, just the teacher and me.”
Seungyul’s eyes glared at Hyojin as if challenging her.
Huh, why is a rich person so stern? Is it a family tradition?
A dazzling neon sign illuminated the bustling street.
Light snowflakes fluttered lightly in the air filled with the exciting Christmas carol.
Seungyul, holding Hyojin’s hand, who was walking with him, stopped in front of a street vendor with steam rising.
“Why do those people eat outside, shivering like that? In this cold. Aren’t they cold?”
“What are you talking about? Eating fish cake soup while shivering in the cold is so delicious.”
Right. Our baby probably hasn’t eaten street food before.
“Want to try it?”
Seungyul, who was hungry after swimming, pretended to reluctantly follow.
“Be careful, it’s hot.”
Hyojin, fearing that the hot fish cake with steam rising might burn his palate, blew on the piping hot fish cake a few times before handing it to him.
“Is it delicious?”
Seungyul, who had bitten into the plump fish cake, smiled with a mouthful of cheeky cheeks.
“Eat a lot. From now on, even if the teacher wants to buy, I can’t buy it for you.”
Ordering a mix of kimbap, tteokbokki, sundae, and fried foods for Seungyul, Hyojin soon saw Seungyul’s crumpled face.
“Why?”
“Because Dad can’t easily give in to what the teacher likes. Let’s go, Seungyul.”
“Where are we going?”
Although he wanted to follow out of curiosity.
“Don’t bother us. Since the teacher and I have something to say alone.”
Seungyul glared at Hyojin with a fiery gaze, as if to say not to interfere.
Huh, why is a rich person so ruthless? Is it a family history?
The lively neon sign illuminated the busy street.
Light snowflakes fluttered in the air filled with the lively Christmas carol.
“Teacher, what is your name?”
“My name? It’s Bong Hyojin. Why do you suddenly ask that?”
Who wouldn’t know that?
Seungyul, squeezing his eyebrows, looked at Hyojin, who was avoiding the warm gaze and sipping the fish cake soup in a paper cup.
“I was curious if the teacher I knew until now is the right one.”
The teacher, who never backed down in front of anyone, gave up and sighed deeply after Dad suggested breaking up.
Although her chest burned with the hot fish cake soup passing through her esophagus, she couldn’t help but step forward for the happiness of her beloved teacher.
“Teacher, trust only me. Dad, I’ll try to persuade him.”

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi.
