While observing the calm gaze and expression of the woman sitting across, Heegu thought.
More dazzling in person than in the photos.
Certainly, her face resembled the Vice President Song Hyun, whose face was radiant.
However, her beauty was adorned with elegance and sophistication that were absolutely absent in her father.
The appearance of his grandson and Min Taehee was both splendid, causing his eyes to glitter.
“Hello, Grandfather. I’m Min Taehee.”
Confident eyes, expression, neat posture, and speech.
Observing the composed and confident Min Taehee, Heegu recalled the information he received a few days ago.
Knowing the complicated family history and past, her life from graduating college until now was laid out clearly.
How she got a job at a company, her reputation, and her current surroundings and lifestyle patterns.
A life she had achieved independently without anyone’s help, which was commendable.
However, there was just one thing that didn’t sit well with him.
For all those long years, it seemed like there was no one else for Min Taehee except his grandson, just like his grandson had only Min Taehee.
So, it was natural that they only knew each other.
Now that his grandson was feeling pressured, even bringing Min Taehee home and considering marriage, Heegu understood to some extent.
Heegu hid his true feelings and smiled amiably.
“Thank you for coming today.”
If he wanted, he could make things difficult for the woman in front of him.
Yet, he had decided not to do that, mainly because of the phone call he received from his grandson earlier in the morning.
‘If you don’t want me to die as an old bachelor, appreciate Taehee just for breathing.’
After leaving such a ridiculous comment, his grandson hung up, and Heegu was on fire inside.
Actually, Heegu didn’t have any specific plans for today’s meeting.
He was a person who needed to see things with his own eyes to believe, and that’s why he just wanted to witness the two of them together.
They could talk separately later.
Having finished his thoughts, Heegu once again concealed his true feelings with a friendly smile.
“I really enjoy the food here, I hope Taehee likes it too.”
“I’ll eat anything, Grandfather. Especially, I love traditional Korean meals.”
There were not many who could meet Heegu’s eyes directly.
However, Min Taehee, despite being younger, was calmly receiving Heegu’s gaze while smiling gently.
Although it was written as “cold-hearted,” Heegu wondered if she was really cold-hearted, looking at her.
After that comment, Heegu called an employee, asking them to prepare the table.
Then, turning his gaze back to Taehee, he engaged in casual conversation.
“Eating deliciously brings good fortune. However, that guy doesn’t eat at all. He doesn’t even know that Grandpa’s stomach is rotting and about to burst.”
“He doesn’t eat food he doesn’t like. But he eats a lot of the food he likes, Grandfather.”
It wasn’t a question, but Taehee calmly responded in a gentle tone.
Probably, due to being around for a long time and treating her like a secretary, Heegu seemed to know a lot about his grandson.
As an opportunity to test how much she knew and to gather information about her grandson, Heegu casually asked, “What kind of food does Sajun usually eat?”
“Steak or chicken breast. He dislikes stimulating foods, fruits, and vegetables, so he takes supplements for all other nutrients.”
It was enough to make one collapse.
Only 29 years old, yet relying on supplements for nutrition.
Unconsciously, Heegu asked again, “Does he have any favorite foods?”
At that moment, Sajun interjected, “Why are you asking her? Ask me.”
“Do you answer well when Grandpa asks?”
“I don’t answer useless questions.”
A shameless response that left Heegu dumbfounded.
It was not unnecessary to inquire about what his grandson liked to eat.
Then, Taehee glanced at Sajun with a slight frown.
“If you think it’s unnecessary, you can stay quiet. Grandpa and I will continue talking, as we don’t think it’s unnecessary at all.”
“I’m bored.”
“Then take a walk around the garden until the meal comes out. It’s charming when you pass by. I’ll be chatting with Grandpa.”
That’s right, well done.
Seeing Sajun unable to move a muscle in front of Taehee, Heegu found himself cheering for Taehee unintentionally.
“Did you meet because of me today?”
“You should be jealous. That’s why we’re talking about you.”
At that remark resembling a rebuke, Sajun’s mouth abruptly shut.
It was a sight Heegu had never seen before.
“Grandpa is treating us to a delicious dinner, is there anything else I can do for you other than telling you about yourself?”
After pressing Sajun in one go, Taehee looked at Heegu and smiled.
“That’s right, Grandpa?”
In response to Taehee’s words, Heegu nodded as if consenting, muttering, “Hmm, there’s probably no wrong in what you’re saying. I just don’t understand what kind of fun that guy is having in life.”
“Well, even though I asked because I was genuinely curious, he opened his eyes and breathed, so he’s just living.”
“What, what!?”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
