Seo-yoon bit her lip, feeling desperate, and reluctantly accepted Soo-hyun’s business card.
‘I wanted Cha Hyun, why did things get so complicated?’
If she doesn’t make it clear here, she might be sold to a man she never wanted.
So, in desperation, Seo-yoon called out to Hyun.
“Director Cha Hyun.”
“Yes.”
“In fact, I wanted to have a serious conversation with Director Cha.”
As if trying to assist the brave Seo-yoon, Dr. Kwak also interjected.
“That’s right. Our daughter fell in love with Director Cha Hyun at first sight. Haha.”
Amidst the chilly atmosphere, Hyun pondered for a moment and then nodded with a smile.
“Let’s give it a try, that serious conversation.”
“Really?”
Seo-yoon, who had been wearing elegant hanbok while playing the gayageum, changed into a more comfortable dress and returned, saying she would be more comfortable to move.
Not long after, Seoyoon appeared in front of Hyun, wearing a dress that clearly revealed her figure, smiling shyly as if to show off.
“Shall we go then?”
Displaying her voluptuous figure, Seoyoon kindly suggested to Hyun.
“That sounds good.”
Hyun and Seoyoon moved to a nearby cafe.
“I’ll have chamomile tea. I can’t sleep well if I drink coffee in the evening.”
Seoyoon listed information that Hyun wasn’t particularly curious about.
“And an espresso, please.”
The man who wanted to end this conversation quickly and leave ordered a menu that could be quickly consumed.
On the other hand, the woman who wanted to prolong this moment, using any means necessary, requested hot tea that needed to be cooled down.
In the same space, facing each other, sitting together, but the reasons for menu selection were so different.
Before the ordered menu arrived, Seoyoon swept her hair behind her ear and opened her mouth.
“Chairman Cha seems to view me favorably.”
Looking at Seoyoon, who covered her mouth with one hand and smiled, Hyun only sent a cold expression.
“So.”
“Yes?”
“What do you want to do with my father?”
“Oh, no…”
Seoyoon, looking very confused, widened her eyes as if she was extremely perplexed.
She was trying to discuss that it seemed quite positively discussed between the elders of both families about our marriage.
At Hyun’s cold voice, Seoyoon could only smile awkwardly.
“What should I do? Mr. Cha’s family men only see one woman.”
“…”
“I clearly mentioned earlier. I have someone I’m meeting.”
Hyun, pulling one side of his lips up, made a decisive statement.
“So, it’s better to get rid of futile thoughts.”
The person who used to pour out only affectionate words when Ye-rin was present was nowhere to be found.
At this point, Hyun thought Seoyoon would understand and get up from her seat.
But unexpectedly, Seoyoon was quite a formidable opponent.
Taking a deep breath, she continued to look straight at Hyun and spoke.
“Whether Director Cha Hyun meets a woman or not, is that such an important factor?”
This time, it was Hyun who was taken aback by the profound question.
“Right now, I’m making advances toward Director Cha Hyun, you know?”
Amused, Hyun smirked.
“I know. So, I’m rejecting you in various ways.”
“…”
“Whether you don’t know, or you pretend not to know even if you know.”
There was a pitiful expression on Hyun’s face as he spoke.
“Whatever it is, it doesn’t look very good. I can’t stand women who cling like you.”
At the straightforward evaluation, Seoyoon’s lips gently spread.
For a moment, Hyun thought of Ye-rin.
‘Maybe when I pursued her for a while, Han Ye-rin felt uncomfortable like this.’
Thinking that, he felt strangely sorry.
Now, although we’re a bit closer, I regret the past when I unreasonably insisted and demanded only my feelings.
The sharp voice brought Hyun, who was entirely engrossed in thoughts of Yerin, back to reality.
“Could it be that I’m losing to Han Yerin right now?”
He almost asked why she brought up Yerin’s name.
Looking at Hyun, who remained silent, Seoyoon burst into a bitter laugh.
“No, I’m asking because I really don’t understand. Were you two really meeting?”
“Yes.”
Without excuses or denials, the admission came without a second of hesitation, which eased the tension.
“Director Cha Hyun, am I lacking compared to that woman?”
Seoyoon emphasized her voluminous figure, shoulders back.
The skirt was unbelievably short. Because she crossed her legs, her thighs were clearly exposed.
However, Hyun showed no interest, not even for a moment.
“The difference starts with the most important family background. I am the daughter of a parliament member who is being mentioned as a potential presidential candidate. Han Yerin is in such a mess that she only has debts, you know?”
After uttering those words, Seoyoon belatedly sighed.
“By any chance, Yerin didn’t mention anything, did she? She’s a bit prideful, so she doesn’t easily share sensitive stories with others.”
Knowing it was sensitive private information and still freely revealing it in front of Hyun was also a negative factor.
Listening silently to Seoyoon’s words, Hyun slowly spoke.
“You seem to have quite a few misconceptions.”
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.”
