Even though Seoyeon could be recognized due to the home shopping broadcast, not many people knew Minhyuk. Having recently taken over as the CEO and having lived in the United States for a long time, he wasn’t easily recognizable unless someone was well-informed.
Still, why attach the company name and the exact title with photos and videos?
“Interesting.”
In fact, since Minhyuk received this information, he had thought of one person.
JS, who had exchanged discussions with Kwonyul, the granddaughter of Dae Sung Construction. If she was behind this, Minhyuk had overlooked the most important fact.
Unless it was a sensitive scoop like corruption or slush funds of a conglomerate, journalists usually confirm the facts two or three times.
He didn’t know that the PR department of a large company dealt quickly with incidents like an active entertainment agency. What does a greenhouse plant that has never experienced social life know?
Then, suddenly, Kwonyul’s words came to Minhyuk’s mind.
“It’s not like exchanging prenuptial agreements like chaebols. I can easily block it from my side.”
If, due to Kwonyul’s active movement, a woman in unrequited love got angry and caused this, everything became clear.
“Ugh…”
Entangled with his niece’s friends in a complicated way.
Minhyuk felt an indescribable mix of emotions.
Moreover, since he firmly blocked the article, Seoyeon and Kwonyul, who knew nothing, would be enjoying sweet times.
Watching the two’s affectionate moments, he wondered whether to let the articles pour out, ignore them, or just leave them.
Honestly, Minhyuk had nothing to lose even if the articles were published.
“That damn fair play…”
The promises that Kwonyul walked around like spells, not formal promises, and the pride that he had built up solidly until now didn’t allow this situation, which wasn’t even funny, to be broken.
Unknowingly smiling at this not-so-funny situation, Minhyuk shook his desk as if to drive away tangled thoughts, and the neatly placed phone made a loud noise.
“Yes, Mother.”
The caller was Seoyeon’s mother, Kyungsook.
[I called because I have something to ask a busy person.]“Please feel free to tell me, Mother.”
[Our CEO Choi. By any chance… do you like crabs?]“Crabs?”
[My brother-in-law, that is, Seoyeon’s uncle, sends us seafood every time he catches it. What do you think about sharing it when it’s fresh?]Already frustrated by not being able to set a meal appointment with Kyungsook, it was a welcome sound.
“I’d be honored if you invite me.”
[Why do you speak so nicely? Well then, I’ll send you our home address via text, so come after work.]Minhyuk first asked Kyungsook about her well-being, making her feel good. The conversation between the two was pleasant, and Kyungsook’s refreshing personality was very pleasing to Minhyuk.
[If our Seoyeon calls me ‘Crab Ghost,’ I’ll come running, setting aside any other business with CEO Choi. Please understand if he grumbles a bit later.] The names and genders of the characters have been translated accurately and consistently.Here’s the English translation of the provided Korean paragraph:
Minhyuk repeatedly asked for understanding, saying that the arm folding inward made Kyungsook feel awkward.
“Even Seoyeon’s grumbling is cute.”
[Ah, she’s even affectionate. No matter what, a woman should marry a man who loves her like this.]As Kyungsook subtly mentioned Seoyeon’s marriage, Minhyuk didn’t miss it.
“If you continue to assist like this, I’ll work even harder.”
Perhaps both had the same goal. The conversation, which started with crabs, eventually concluded with marriage to Seoyeon.
[Don’t feel burdened about the invitation to my house. Come with a light heart, thinking of it as your own.]“Yes, Mother. Please invite me anytime.”
Although the necessary matters and greetings were finished, the affectionate conversation didn’t seem to end.
The restless feeling from a while ago disappeared. Minhyuk felt like he was in a warm play with his affectionate mother-in-law.
“See you later. Our CEO Choi.”
After saying he would come soon about three times, Minhyuk finally ended the call.
“About five hours from now…”
The anxiety turned into anticipation in an instant. Minhyuk couldn’t control his excited feelings, even while speeding up work that needed to be done today.
Even during a shopping content planning meeting where only names were buzzing, Minhyuk couldn’t help but smile as he pointed out the executives reporting on shabby content.
Just when he thought he should fix his cheerful demeanor, a quiet knock was heard.
“CEO, it’s time to move.”
Lost in the joy of work, Minhyuk realized that the promised time with Kyungsook was approaching.
“Let’s finish here for today.”
Checking the time, Minhyuk quickly got up from his seat. He hastily organized his desk and walked towards the lobby as if his urgent steps were nowhere to be seen.
Then, he asked the following secretary, “What about the gift?”
“It’s already loaded in the car.”
“Unless it’s urgent, don’t connect any calls.”
Minhyuk said with a gently curved eye line.
Eating homemade food at Seoyeon’s house with her. Minhyuk felt like he had become a real family member.
“Please come without being too late.”
“Yes, CEO.”
Minhyuk stared intently at the navigation in the back of the luxury sedan.
30 minutes to the destination.
In a short but not too long time, Minhyuk felt someone tickling his fingertips at the thought of meeting Seoyeon.
If her large eyes became even rounder like a full moon, what words would surprise her more?
Like a child who wants to play a cheesy joke with his favorite girlfriend, Minhyuk smiled while imagining various expressions of Seoyeon.
“CEO, we will arrive in one minute.”
As the driver’s words ended abruptly, a black supercar passed quickly by Minhyuk’s sedan.
Then, Minhyuk’s gaze followed the tail of the well-moved black car.
“Let me off here.”
As the black sedan stopped smoothly without a sound, Minhyuk lightly got out of the car. Then, he approached Seoyeon with confident steps.
“Miss Seoyeon.”
At the gentle voice of Minhyuk, Seoyeon, who was standing in front of the door, turned her head abruptly.
“Why is CEO Choi… here?”
“Why? I came to eat crabs. I was officially invited.”
Smiling brightly, Minhyuk walked past Seoyeon confidently.
“What are you doing? Come inside.”
“Yes, sure?”
“Let’s go in together. Amicably.”
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…
