Mrs. Park’s opposition was a truly unexpected variable. Yet the reason why he couldn’t ignore that variable was precisely because of the gaze that contained Mrs. Park’s feelings.
She was truly opposing the marriage of the two with all her heart. And that sincerity was wholly directed towards Seo Rin.
“I thought it was a wedding announcement, but it’s not.”
He thought she had been left alone after Chairman Baek’s death. He had never heard Mrs. Park’s story through Seo Rin’s mouth, even though he had heard a lot from Mrs. Park who spoke in a congenial manner.
So, he thought there might be a certain distance between her and Mrs. Park, her stepmother, given her notsofriendly personality.
Of course, there was a definite distance between the two. But it looked more poignant because there was that distance they couldn’t approach each other.
“Huh? Where did she go?”
Seo Rin, who had finished the call and came in, asked looking at the empty seat of Mrs. Park.
What should he say? He felt guilty as if he was pushing the slightly distanced couple even further apart by telling the truth.
“She said she wasn’t feeling well and went in early. She asked me to tell you she was sorry.”
“Really? Is she that unwell?”
As Seo Rin picked up her phone to call Mrs. Park, Tae Joon stopped her. He didn’t want the rift between them to deepen because of him right now.
“She said she’s tired. She told me not to call.”
“That’s strange. She’s not the kind of person to leave like that when there are people around.”
“Since the food has started coming out, let’s eat at least.”
As the appetizing side dishes began to be served, Seo Rin reluctantly nodded her head. She hadn’t eaten much all day.
“Since I’ve told you, go ahead and register the marriage tomorrow if possible.”
Tae Joon had thought the same. At least until he faced Mrs. Park that day.
“No. Let’s delay the marriage registration a bit more.”
“Why? You said we should do it right away.”
“I think I’ll be busy for a while.”
He thought he would be. It seemed he would have to invest a tremendous amount of time and effort to convince Mrs. Park.
As the rice and soup came out, and the main dish was served, the two picked up their spoons. But even before Seo Rin could take her first bite, Tae Joon couldn’t help but ask a question.
“But your mother…”
“…”
“What does she like?”
The journey was long, but it was a path he had to take.
After finishing their meal, the two, each with a cup of coffee, walked along the path next to the restaurant.
It seemed they had overeaten after a long time of having such a feast. Seo Rin suggested walking as it seemed necessary, but he thought it was a good idea.
The night sky, darkened by the setting sun, was lit by red street lights. They couldn’t see far, but the smell of the greenery was sweeter than any decadent dessert.
“The coffee is sweet.”
“Huh? Really? I didn’t put syrup in. Do you want to swap?”
Surprised, he offered his own coffee that he was holding.
“I didn’t mean that. I just said the coffee is sweet. I’m feeling good.”
“Ah.”
Only then did an exclamation of realization escape from his mouth.
Really, one can’t understand women’s language. They say they like it when they don’t, they say they don’t like it when they do. Now they describe bitter coffee as sweet. He didn’t even realize that his heart sank at her words.
But he couldn’t complain, seeing her beautiful smile.
Even if his heart sank ten times, even if his heart dropped, he wished he could endlessly see that smile.
“How’s the atmosphere at the company?”
“Tae Joon’s strategy worked perfectly. It’s a total crisis over there. They didn’t try to contact you separately, did they?”
“How dare they! I made my intentions clear just yesterday!”
At the sound of his forceful voice, Seo Rin couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
The short but intense kiss had initially made her feel embarrassed, but on the other hand, it was also satisfying. This was because she saw the directors, who looked as if they might fall over in shock, over his shoulder.
Seo Rin stopped in a spot where she could see the entire restaurant parking lot.
Was it because she had made such a big fuss? With the tension of the past relaxing, her gaze towards him became more generous.
It was now an undeniable fact that Tae Joon had become an unexpectedly strong support for her.
Seeing the reactions of the directors, who didn’t know what to do about this situation and tried to avoid even stepping on her shadow at the company today, she realized this even more clearly.
For her to become the perfect winner in this game, she needed Kang Tae Joon.
Because he was the best item she could use most effectively in her battle against the enemy.
“I’m available tomorrow. If you’re busy, Tae Joon, I’ll prepare the marriage registration documents and send them through your secretary. Then, I’ll take the two witnesses myself and submit it directly.”
So now, she had to hold onto him.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
