It was the kind of feeling where he wanted to feed and send off his woman in the morning.
As Sajun’s car disappeared from view, Taehui went through the revolving door again and came out of the company.
Her thoughts were complicated as she walked slowly to the cafe near the company where she agreed to meet Heegu.
She noticed that Heegu didn’t have feelings for her before, but she didn’t expect him to suggest meeting.
He hadn’t said anything about getting married, just that they were dating.
Once they arrived at the coffee shop, Heegu, who had taken a sip of lukewarm coffee, spoke first.
“There was a time when I asked that guy what kind of relationship he had with Taehui. I wonder what he would have said.”
What would you have said?
Curious, Taehui looked silently at Heegu.
“He said that Jinwon is his business secretary, and Taehui is a friend like a private secretary, so not to worry about it.”
A private secretary, or in other words, a friend like a fool.
This was a truth already known to Taehui.
However, hearing it from someone else’s mouth pierced his heart painfully.
“But that guy brought Taehui, whom he has secretly admired for a long time.”
Seeing no particular reaction from Taehui, Heegu spoke coolly.
“I’ve been quiet until now, but it’s time to face it. It’s like having a fire under my feet. So, it’s a bit hard for me to believe. Whether Sajun really loves Taehui or not.”
Though he smiled with a friendly face, Heegu’s gaze towards Taehui was sharp.
Ready to correct any small reaction immediately.
Swallowing a dry spit, Taehui slowly opened her mouth.
“Can you tell me the purpose of meeting?”
“This old man is not interested in Taehui’s feelings towards me. If my grandson loves Taehui, I will gladly approve. But if Sajun chose Taehui for familiarity and convenience, I cannot approve.”
“….”
“My precious grandson’s wife should be someone I choose. Isn’t that right, Taehui?”
Heegu’s words were understood to be as heartbreaking as they were.
If it’s not love for his grandson, he wants to choose a daughter-in-law who would be helpful.
“That guy made a promise to me. If he doesn’t bring a woman to marry before he turns 30, he will become the heir to Seomun. So, I assume he proposed love and marriage to Taehui. Am I right?”
Taehui couldn’t say anything because her throat felt tight.
She didn’t really know that if Sajun didn’t get married before 30, he would become the heir to Seomun.
It dawned on her belatedly.
How desperate he must have been. If he couldn’t get married, he would not only lack a wife but also go under the father he hated the most.
In Heegu’s eyes, who asked if she had something to say, there was a trembling breath as Taehui slowly opened her mouth.
“It’s true that Sajun proposed marriage to me.”
In the end, it wasn’t love.
I was just an existence with excellent utility value to you.
Even now, after 13 years together, you still see me that way until the end.
The chest felt like tearing apart with the painful truth, but strangely, her mind felt clean and clear.
Though her pupils trembled, Taehui spoke calmly with an eerily composed voice.
“Grandfather said he wasn’t curious about my feelings, but I sincerely love Sajun. However, I rejected the marriage proposal.”
Heegu’s expression became peculiar.
If she loves him but won’t marry him, there’s nothing he can do.
“May I ask for the reason?”
Taehui almost burst into laughter.
Heegu, who claimed not to be interested in her feelings, now expressed curiosity about the reason for rejecting the marriage proposal.
“I assume you’ve already done your background check. That’s why Grandfather also doesn’t like me. Am I correct?”
Heegu didn’t answer, but he instinctively knew.
That silence meant an affirmative response.
“I’m different from my mother, who threw away her life being swayed by a man who didn’t love her. I want to live my life confidently. I have the ability to live well alone without relying on a man.”
“You’ll date but won’t marry?”
“Yes.”
“How can I believe that?”
There was nothing as cunning as a person’s tongue, and there was nothing he couldn’t believe.
What Taehui knew, Heegu couldn’t be unaware of.
“If you find it hard to believe, how about making a deal with me?”
Heegu squinted his eyes as if saying, “What are you talking about?”
With a stubborn expression reminiscent of Sajun, Taehui had to stare blankly for a moment.
“In a deal, conditions are exchanged. It means that Taehui has something she wants from me. Go ahead, let me hear it. I’ll listen first.”
Responding to Heegu’s words, Taehui, who belatedly regained her composure, calmly replied.
“Just treat me kindly, like you’re going to make me your granddaughter-in-law for exactly one hundred days. If I want to deceive that person properly, I need Grandfather’s help more than Sajun. That’s all I need.”
“Is that all you want?”
To Heegu, who still had an expression of disbelief, Taehui briefly explained the deal.
The relationship with Min Seontae, the reason for dating Sajun, and the business trip to France.
Sorry to Sajun, but there was no other way.
Because you tried to deceive me by pretending to love me just because you didn’t want to become the heir to Seomun.
So, instead of Sajun, I thought about joining forces with Heegu.
A more reliable and powerful ally.
After Taehui finished her explanation, Heegu asked calmly with an inscrutable expression.
“Does Sajun know that you’re going on a business trip?”
“If Sajun knows, he probably won’t be able to leave comfortably. Grandfather knows well, but Sajun’s personality is usually overwhelming. So, I kept it a secret.”
“Hehe, I see.”
Heegu chuckled bitterly.
It was almost the same as saying he would hit his grandson’s back of the head.
“Do you know how I made it to this position?”
Although taken aback by the sudden question, Taehui calmly replied that she didn’t know.
“The eyes that see people must be accurate. In my eyes, Taehui is like bamboo. Even if it’s bent, it doesn’t break.”
I’m like bamboo. Listening to it, it wasn’t entirely wrong.
Because I decided to leave rather than bend in front of love.
“I believe in Taehui. If you have something I can help with or any requests, contact me here. I’ll do my best to accommodate whatever is possible.”
Heegu, who laughed heartily, handed a business card to Taehui.
Taehui’s feelings were complicated as she silently gazed at the business card.
There was still time, and the future, which could not be seen one step ahead, was uncertain.
It was a slim chance, but could Kang Sajun really love me? As always in everything, there are variables.
She didn’t want to become a cowardly liar in front of those variables.
Although she didn’t like the idea of conflicting with Heegu, Sajun’s only family, because of herself, she also didn’t want to hide behind Sajun.
So, she had to handle her own affairs.
“Grandfather, if I want to marry Sajun, what conditions should I meet?”
Perhaps Heegu didn’t like the recent question; he narrowed his eyes.
“Speak of such outrageous conditions that I can’t even contemplate marrying Sajun, but if I persist, I can’t help but acknowledge you as a granddaughter-in-law. Please tell me such absurd conditions.”
Now, Heegu looked at Taehui with a bewildered expression.
The kind of look that says, “What is all this?”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
