“Could my brother have been successful without you, mother?”
Because she had given up her position as a top announcer and only looked after her son.
“You’re my role model, mother. I became an announcer because of you.”
“Oh, dear.”
Lady Min Ja Hyun, who had been laughing out loud, stopped when she made eye contact with Hyo Jin, who was getting up after cleaning up the wrapping paper.
“I’ll go get the young master then.”
Looking at the time, it was already 3 o’clock. It was time to finish the 6th period.
“Come with me.”
“Pardon?”
Han Na stood up, calling Hyo Jin.
“I miss Yul so much. I can’t wait at home.
“Well, in that case, alright.”
Ja Hyun seemed to think it was a good idea, but Hyo Jin felt awkward.
If they happened to meet the parents they had encountered before, it would be a big problem.
Jung Eum International School Foundation.
A luxury sedan slid into the circular fountain finished with natural marble.
Madam, we’re in big trouble.
Hyo Jin, who was anxiously looking out the window like a patient with emotional instability, spotted Seung Joon’s mom leaving the building with Seung Joon, and used her hair to form a curtain over her face.
“Aren’t you getting off?”
Han Na, who had no idea what was going on, pulled on the handle as if to ask why she was sitting there.
“Could you wait inside for a moment? I’ll bring him out.”
Just in case anyone comes across them standing there.
“Let’s go together.”
“No, there’s no need to.”
“I’d like to greet the school teacher since I’m here. Besides, who knows? They might take better care of our Yul.”
Ah, Hyo Jin’s forced smile wavered.
Where is the baby? It’s past time for him to come out.
“Are you looking for Seung Yul?”
A familiar voice came from behind Hyo Jin as she got out of the car.
“Hello. I’m Roy. Kim Roy.”
“Ah, I know that.”
Hyo Jin’s heart fluttered, wondering if he might call her mom.
“What’s your name? I didn’t get to ask you last time. You’re Seung Yul’s mom…!”
“Ah! I’m Hyo Jin. Call me Hyo Jin from now on.”
Hyo Jin cut her off with a big smile.
“Okay, Ho Jin.”
“No, it’s Hyo Jin, Hyo Jin.”
“Ho Jin?”
Ah, you’re the one who can’t pronounce this, aren’t you? You said Gyo Hwan as Go Hwan.
“Just call me Bong. Miss Bong.”
“Who are you? Yul’s friend?”
Roy, who had been looking at Hyo Jin, turned his gaze to Han Na.
“Who are you, lady?”
“You don’t know who I am?”
There’s no way a Korean wouldn’t recognize my face.
“Well, you see.”
As Han Na was about to introduce herself, a cool voice cut in.
“What are you doing here?”
Oh, baby! My savior.
“Perfect timing. He seems to be your friend, can you introduce him?”
“He’s not my friend?”
At that remark, not only Roy but also Hyo Jin’s lips parted.
“Choi Seung Yul! From now on, I won’t be friends with you either!”
Roy, don’t go. Seung Yul is just saying that because he doesn’t want his lie about calling me his mother to be revealed.
Hyo Jin felt like she could cry at the sight of his back, looking as if he had been rejected.
“Yul, you’re too harsh with your words. You remind me of your father, like a wall. Iron wall!”
Seung Yul clicked his tongue and brushed off Han Na’s comforting hand on his head.
“What brings you here?”
“We came to celebrate your return.”
“Then can you buy me some ice cream?”
“Why the sudden desire for ice cream?”
It’s not even midsummer. But if Seung Yul wants it…
“Sure!”
The moment Han Na cheerfully pulled out her card from her wallet and handed it to Hyo Jin.
“Please buy it for me, aunt.”
“What?”
“I want to eat the ice cream that aunt bought, not the teacher.”
It wasn’t because he wanted ice cream, but because he intended to push Han Na away.
Hyo Jin only realized it after seeing the baby’s eyes instantly changing as soon as she left.
“Why did you two come together? What will you do if your mothers find out?”
“I didn’t bring her. Grandma told us to go together.”
Hyo Jin also raised her voice in indignation.
“How could you speak like that to Roy? He was hurt.”
“It’s because of the teacher.”
“Alright. Then I will apologize.”
Since I happened to know his contact number.
“Roy, I’m sorry. The truth is, something happened that upset me and I said some harsh words to you. I’m really sorry.♡♥♡”
Seung Yul raised an eyebrow as he watched the text Hyo Jin was typing.
“Who puts hearts in without asking? Roy will think it’s from me.”
“Well, because I’m sorry.”
“Delete it. Then won’t he misunderstand that I like him?”
Instead, Hyo Jin made a ^^ smiling mark.
“Are you joking? Sending a smiling face after getting angry.”
“Ah, then what should we do?”
While they were face to face in front of the cell phone, pondering, Han Na who was holding ice cream cones in both hands, suddenly leaned in.
“What secrets are you discussing with the teacher?”
“Nothing, absolutely nothing.”
Seung Yul, who took the ice cream cone, frowned as he watched the other ice cream go into Han Na’s mouth.
“Isn’t that the teacher’s?”
Why do you bother to ask such a thing? You have a mouth, I have a snout.
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.”
