In response to that, Yerin, who already had round eyes, raised them vividly and turned her head.
“You always exceed expectations.”
“I’ve received a lot from Mr. Lee.”
“Is it a statement that makes you want to keep giving?”
“What?”
“It seems like if I give something, I’ll try to gradually narrow the distance.”
Unable to respond to the accurate statement, Yerin just bit her lip.
She had learned that there is no kindness without reason.
Yerin’s father, Pyeonghun, used to say that free things are the best in the world, but Yerin disagreed.
Knowing too well that it becomes challenging to handle when you receive a lot without any cost, Yerin quickly drew a line, suspecting that Lee Hyun might buy excessive things, as he just mentioned.
“Mr. Lee, just letting me see my mom today is more than enough for me.”
“It’s not enough for me.”
“What?”
“Let’s get out for now.”
Lee Hyun quickly got out of the car and circled around the large vehicle. Then, he smoothly opened the passenger door and waited for Yerin to come out.
Looking at Yerin, who smiled brightly like the spring sunshine, Lee Hyun’s heart raced.
Yerin was usually an emotionless secretary when working. However, during this private time, she became more honest, as if she had become a different person.
Just a smile like that, and he couldn’t help but think about her even when walking away from her after the date.
Feeling quite serious, Lee Hyun walked with Yerin.
Their footsteps climbing the dim stairs were light for both.
After arriving at Yerin’s house, they unlocked the door, and the two entered.
“Huh?”
“Why are you doing that?”
Yerin looked at the brightly lit bathroom and quickly walked over to turn off the light.
“Did I leave the light on this morning?” she wondered, briefly contemplating. It had been such a hectic day that she couldn’t recall.
It was such a hectic day that I couldn’t remember.
Lee Hyun, standing still, asked Yerin with a curious expression, “Why are you like that?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Hurriedly thinking about forgetting to turn off the lights while leaving for work, Yerin nonchalantly placed her bag on the kitchen chair.
“Mr. Lee, if you sit here, I’ll quickly bring you a warm cup of tea.”
As Yerin tried to pass him and head towards the cabinet.
He suddenly leaned in, blocking Yerin’s path.
“What do you need?”
Yerin checked Lee Hyun’s face, which was too close, and took a step back.
“I don’t want tea.”
“Oh, then is there any drink you’d like? I’ll go out and buy it quickly.”
Lee Hyun slowly nodded his head.
“There’s something I want to eat, but I can’t get it outside.”
“Really?”
Thinking it might be a luxurious drink only available in department stores, Yerin was about to give up.
However, she suddenly became curious about what that drink could be, thinking it might be useful when monitoring Lee Hyun next to her.
“Could you tell me what it is?”
It was Yerin asking with an innocent face.
Lee Hyun chuckled, looking at her.
Tilting his head slightly, he licked his lips slowly with his tongue.
Lee Hyun’s intense gaze was fixed on Yerin’s face.
“Are you curious?”
“Yes.”
Whether he didn’t want to tell or it was something really unattainable even in department stores, Lee Hyun remained silent for a while.
At the moment when the small house was filled with silence.
Lee Hyun slowly opened his mouth.
“Miss Hanyeolin, you might be very surprised when you hear it.”
It seemed to be a drink with a price that exceeded imagination.
Now, Yerin was so curious about what it was that she couldn’t easily give up. She wondered if it was something so rare that it would be surprising to know its identity.
Yerin smiled again and straightened her posture.
“I’m confident you won’t be surprised.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Hyun raised his eyebrows with an interested expression.
Then, he slowly bent his waist.
Approaching Yerin’s ear, he whispered softly.
“What it is, is a word.”
Feeling the warm breath on her ear, Yerin tensed.
“I thought about wanting to taste your lips.”
With those words from Lee Hyun, Yerin was shocked again and stood frozen as if turned into stone.
While Yerin, with wide-open eyes in surprise, struggled to complete her words, Lee Hyun, who seemed unfazed, smiled gently.
“Look at that. Didn’t I say you’d be surprised?”
“Oh, I’m not surprised, I…”
Unable to finish her sentence, Yerin bit her lip.
“Sure, you were surprised.”
Without making eye contact with Lee Hyun and trying to hide her astonishment, Yerin subtly took a step back.
Observing this movement, Lee Hyun smoothly pulled out the kitchen chair and took a seat first.
And pointing to the empty seat across, he gestured for Yerin to sit.
The situation had changed so much that, if someone saw, they might think Lee Hyun, not Yerin, was the owner of this house.
Yerin took a short breath and sat down.
After neatly tucking the hair pouring over her face behind her ears and lifting her head, she was surprised as she met the deep black eyes of Lee Hyun but managed to speak nonchalantly.
“Since when have you been thinking that?”
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…
