Understanding Do Jun’s words, Tae Yeon’s cheeks flushed. On the other hand, Do Jun was only relaxed and eating.
After the dinner, acting affectionate, they bathed and sat in the living room.
Being conscious of Miss Choi, who was bringing warm tea from the kitchen, Do Jun whispered in Tae Yeon’s ear.
“When she puts down the tea and leaves, we will do it.”
“Yes.”
Tae Yeon too made a serious face.
Would anyone believe they were a loving couple living like this?
Shortly, Miss Choi placed warm chamomile tea in front of the two.
“It’s a tea that helps with a good sleep.”
“Thank you, Miss Choi.”
After sipping the chamomile tea, Do Jun soon put down the cup.
And stretching his arm, he wrapped it around Tae Yeon’s waist and pulled her closer to him.
The distance between the two narrowed in an instant.
Do Jun held Tae Yeon in his dark eyes and held her cheek with his large hand.
“When we met at the rooftop of the company today.”
“……”
“I had a hard time because I wanted to hold you like this.”
It was a statement that if someone heard, they would think they had a secret date on the roof.
Now, Tae Yeon seemed to have adjusted, she responded to Do Jun’s acting with a smile.
“I thought it was only me who felt that way……”
Do Jun moved his hand to Tae Yeon’s soft lips. As if trying to do the same thing she did in the restaurant after drinking wine.
Miss Choi smiled faintly at the sight of the couple looking at each other affectionately and quickly vacated her place to not disturb their time.
Even after Miss Choi disappeared, Do Jun did not stop what he was doing.
When his fingertips touched her lips, it felt completely different from when he touched her cheek.
It was a strange feeling she was experiencing for the first time.
As Do Jun stroked Tae Yeon’s soft lips, he said,
“I should cover the blinds more thickly in the main office.”
“You’re not serious… are you?”
“You’re probably right about what you’re imagining.”
Do Jun took a quick look at Miss Choi cleaning up in the kitchen and then distanced himself from Tae Yeon.
Exhaling a shallow breath secretly from Do Jun, Tae Yeon took a sip of the chamomile tea in front of her.
Drinking warm tea seemed to calm her down.
“Miss Choi.”
“Yes, Director.”
“You can go home. It’s late again today.”
“Do you have anything else to order?”
“No. You’ve worked hard.”
As soon as Miss Choi closed the door and left, Tae Yeon and Do Jun again moved far apart. They were just gulping down the almost cold chamomile tea, sitting at the ends of the sofa.
“Still, you seem less tense now, Jin Tae Yeon.”
“I think I’m getting better at lying too.”
Do Jun put down his empty cup and said,
“The chairman Cha is asking to have a meal together on Saturday.”
“Yes.”
“If you think it will be uncomfortable, I will go alone.”
As much as she wanted to agree, she couldn’t let Do Jun go alone.
It was the first family meal since Do Jun returned home, and it was clear that there would be talk if Tae Yeon was absent.
“No, I will go with you.”
“Are you sure?”
“It’s something we have to do.”
Do Jun stretched out his long legs and leaned deep into the sofa.
“I’m thinking of shopping for your gift after the meal.”
“You really don’t have to. I’m grateful even for the congratulatory heart.”
At her words, Do Jun smiled faintly.
“Let’s also visit to order a new ring.”
Tae Yeon nodded her head, replacing it as an answer.
((()))((()))((()))
To have a Saturday lunch with chairman Cha, Do Jun and Tae Yeon headed to the mansion.
After passing through the tall gates and entering, a wellmanaged garden greeted the two.
It was the first time they had visited Chairman Cha’s house since their marriage. Do Jun, who had been dispatched to the U.S. branch, had previously arranged so that Tae Yeon could avoid attending family events while he was not in Korea.
To an outsider, it might have seemed like he was doing this for Tae Yeon, but that was not the case.
It was more like a line indicating that while she was his wife, she hadn’t completely become Do Jun’s person, enough to attend family events.
However, Tae Yeon was fine with it. After all, they were going to divorce, and she had been scared of getting close to the adults in the family.
Chairman Cha, who had been in his study, revealed himself upon hearing that Do Jun and Tae Yeon had arrived.
“Have you arrived?”
When they entered the kitchen, they saw a table laden with all sorts of delicious food, prepared because Do Jun and Tae Yeon were coming.
Chairman Cha sat at the head of the table, and Do Jun and Tae Yeon sat side by side. There was an empty seat opposite them. Do Jun asked,
“Who else is coming?”
“Your older brother, Ha Joon, is also coming.”
Upon hearing this, Do Jun’s forehead furrowed deeply.
Seeing his expression becoming more rigid than usual, Tae Yeon was puzzled.
‘Come to think of it, I don’t think I saw Do Jun’s older brother at the family dinner before the wedding.’
A moment later, Do Jun’s older brother, Ha Joon, revealed himself.
“Everyone’s already here.”
Ha Joon headed for the empty seat. Seeing Do Jun and Tae Yeon, he greeted them as if he was glad to see them.
“Do Jun, it’s been a while. And I’m meeting SisterinLaw for the first time.”
Ha Joon showed a friendly smile towards Do Jun, but there was no response from Do Jun.
The atmosphere quickly became awkward, but it was Ha Joon who diffused it.
“Sisterinlaw, I haven’t properly congratulated you on your marriage. It’s almost been two years.”
Ha Joon looked at Tae Yeon and smiled broadly as if something was very pleasing.
“I’m really sorry that I couldn’t attend the family dinner. I had a sudden business trip then. That’s probably why that lad is so stiff. Hahaha. I wanted to attend even the wedding.”
“Ah, Do Jun had to quickly go to the U.S. branch so we skipped it.”
Do Jun was still looking at Ha Joon with a stern face. The tense atmosphere was clearly felt.

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
