The three of them sat like a harmonious family, exchanging greetings, and eventually blossoming into a conversation.
“Our princess, what are you doing standing there? Come and sit.”
“Why is she making a fuss for no reason? As people get older, they should get more flexible. It’s all because he hasn’t marri
“Please speak comfortably, sir.”
Minhyuk poured premium liquor into Taeseok’s glass and spoke.
“But still… to the CEO.”
“At the company or elsewhere, just call me CEO. Just call me Minhyuk, sir.”
“Cheers!”
Minhyuk, really.
Where exactly is the limit of that man’s shamelessness? Seoyeon was so amazed that her throat tightened, and she coughed continuously.
“Seoyeon, chew slowly. Do you know how much our Seoyeon loves crustaceans? In the past…”
“Mom! Don’t bring up strange stories.”
As if refusing to allow any embarrassing stories, Seoyeon quickly cut off Kyungsook’s words and glared at Minhyuk.
“CEO Choi, please finish eating and go.”
“I don’t want to.”
“No. Ugh! Why are you like this?”
Seoyeon couldn’t take it anymore.
Kyungsook’s strong drive toward marriage and Taeseok’s silent support, coupled with Minhyuk’s active behavior, could lead to serious misunderstandings.
‘This is really not right. If Yul finds out, how upset will he be? Maybe I should reveal it now?’
Then Minhyuk wouldn’t push it any further, and she needed to invite Kyungsook and Taeseok to her parents’ home as soon as possible to win their hearts.
To bring up Kwon Yul’s story, Seoyeon carefully laid down her spoon.
“Mom, Dad. Well, you see…”
At that moment, both Seoyeon and Minhyuk’s phones rang simultaneously.
“Huh? Why is Secretary Choi calling at this hour?”
Confirming the caller, Minhyuk also sought permission from Kyungsook and Taeseok.
When Minhyuk got up, Seoyeon answered the call on her end.
“Yes, Secretary Choi. What’s the matter?”
[CEO. I contacted you urgently.]“Urgent? What happened at the factory?”
Concerned about the unusual words, Seoyeon’s eyes widened.
[Not the factory, but there’s a personal life article about CEO. I sent you the article link on chat.] [Dash] According to the report from Choi Cheok-geun, good news is imminent within this year.Seoyeon’s pupils flared up as if touched by fire.
“No. Who on earth would do such a thing…”
The finger that was scrolling down the article suddenly stopped.
If only articles about dating were released, she tried to dismiss them as speculative. However, there, right in the middle of the article, was a photo of Minhyuk and her laughing together.
And it wasn’t a recent event photo but a department store photo.
In the awkward situation, Seoyeon turned her head to look at Minhyuk. Minhyuk, standing with his back, had a voice that sounded very different from usual, and what he did didn’t seem ordinary.
“Now that unnie told you, you’ve heard it, right? I don’t know the details either. Son-in-law of a conglomerate? Oh my. What…”
Gyeongsuk clapped her hands while smiling widely.
“Oh. Sir. The wedding date should definitely not overlap with Hye Bin’s. If it’s decided specifically, I’ll let you know first.”
Taeseok was solidifying Seoyeon’s marriage as an established fact.
On top of that, Seoyeon’s phone was in chaos with DMs, messages, and calls from friends as if a major disaster had occurred.
Seoyeon changed the ringing phone to vibrate and threw it on the table as if tossing it.
Then Minhyuk, who had just finished the call, approached and sat down.
“Miss Seoyeon.”
“What is all this about? Dating, no less. And marriage, what’s that again?”
“For now, we will have the article removed from our company.”
Is it resolved by removing the article?
“If the reporter comes to verify the facts, we might have to coordinate our statements.”
“No. Coordinate our statements?”
Suddenly, Gyeongsuk, who had finished the call, approached Minhyuk with a heavily remembered face.
“I want to do as Miss Seoyeon wishes. Mother.”
Minhyuk’s attitude was more composed than expected.
“Seoyeon, how would you like to handle this?”
This time, Taeseok asked.
“Obviously, we should deny it. What dating and imminent marriage. It’s absurd.”
“What’s absurd. A picture of the two of them intimately taken has already been publicized.”
“That’s because I went to buy clothes after getting lipstick on President Choi’s shirt.”
Seoyeon looked at Minhyuk and gestured with her eyes, urging him to speak.
“Yes. Miss Seoyeon is right.”
“Well then. Let’s assume that’s the case. But how about seriously dating after this incident?”
At Gyeongsuk’s suggestion to seriously date now that it’s happened, Seoyeon let out a deep sigh.
“Mom. I have a boyfriend.”
“What… What are you talking about? Where is your boyfriend?”
Gyeongsuk cautiously asked while glancing at Minhyuk.
“Wh… who is it? Who is this person you’re talking about?”
“…”
“Seoyeon. You’re not, by any chance, an entertainer, right?”
Taeseok nudged with a puzzled expression.
“No.”
“Then why can’t you say it?”
Seoyeon lowered her eyes and just pursed her lips.
“Huh? What is it?”
“…A, a university student.”
“Oh my! This one must be crazy!”
Gyeongsuk smacked Seoyeon’s back with a loud thud.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
