As if asking what this was all about, Yeon-hee looked alternately at Seo-yeon and Bora.
“Just the fact that you came together is already so appreciated.”
“Why is that, Seo-yeon?”
“I don’t want to cause trouble for you, Madam, just because of me.”
It seemed unnecessary to be so confident when they hadn’t even met yet, but Seo-yeon didn’t want Yeon-hee to be distressed because of her.
Even in her carefully chosen words and in the passing expression on Yeon-hee’s face, Seo-yeon knew that her life was not easy.
“In fact, I’ve dealt with many people like Grandfather. The owners of fabric markets all have similar personalities.”
Though it would be a lie if she said she wasn’t nervous, being in a situation where she knew what kind of attack to expect, she wasn’t afraid.
“So, I’ll ask you this favor.”
Seo-yeon held Yeon-hee’s hand tightly, locking eyes with her.
“Even if Grandfather says something harsh to me, please don’t intervene.”
“If Seo-yeon acts like this, it’s not worth coming with me.”
“No, just having you by my side like this is really reassuring.”
Smiling, Seo-yeon shook Yeon-hee’s hand gently.
“I feel a bit odd.”
“…”
“When I see your mother, I think of Yul and it makes me happy.”
As Yeon-hee’s eyes trembled slightly, Seo-yeon hugged her delicate shoulders and whispered.
“But it’s still a bit nerve-wracking. Please say your mother is okay.”
A small sigh was heard behind Seo-yeon’s shoulder.
“It will be okay.”
With closed eyes, Seo-yeon nodded slowly.
“That’s enough now. Let’s go in. Madam.”
“But what about Bora?”
“Bora will wait outside. When I contact you, come in.”
Seo-yeon reminded Bora of the instructions.
“Bora, do it without mistakes. Wait in the car.”
“Yes, Unni.”
As Yeon-hee’s gaze met Bora’s eyes, Bora quickly averted her eyes and replied.
Seo-yeon signaled to Yeon-hee to go inside as if it were nothing.
“Why did you call Bora?”
Curiosity getting the better of her, Yeon-hee asked.
“Because Jinvora is the one who spread rumors about my relationship. I called her to testify to Grandfather directly.”
While a surprised Yeon-hee looked back, Seo-yeon slightly opened the front door to allow Bora to come in dramatically.
Passing through the imposing gate and going up the stairs, a considerable-sized garden appeared.
Even for Seo-yeon, who had been to many nice houses, it was impressive enough to make her look around.
Trees and flowers that felt the touch of a professional gardener. The freshness and fragrance emanating from there were enchanting.
“He’s considered a cash-rich man. Is he going to buy our company in cash at this rate?”
Even Seo-yeon, who rarely felt overwhelmed, couldn’t help her heart pounding.
With Yeon-hee looking back, expecting a bewildered reaction, Seo-yeon sporadically showed a smile.
“Seo-yeon, shall we go inside now?”
Holding the doorknob, Yeon-hee turned around and asked. It sounded like she was asking if Seo-yeon’s mind was prepared.
For a moment, Seo-yeon felt like she was standing in front of a glass door at a dentist’s office during her childhood.
Despite knowing it would be painful, and despite wanting to run away, there seemed to be only one choice—to step inside by her own will.
Seo-yeon pressed her neatly arranged fingernails, nodded slowly, and said, “Yes, Madam. Let’s go in.”
As determined as her mindset, she opened her eyes wide, ready not to be hurt by any words.
Yet, deep down, she recalled the advice given by Seo-hee.
“Be careful with Mrs. Kim. She’s trying to manipulate Grandfather to her liking.”
Entering the house, Seo-yeon reminded herself to be cautious of Mrs. Kim, the person to be wary of.
“Have you come?”
As a glamorous middle-aged woman in an extravagant home dress appeared, Seo-yeon automatically bowed her waist. Seeing her lower her voice when speaking to Yeon-hee, it seemed that she wasn’t someone involved in household affairs.
“Yes, hello. Where is Father?”
The middle-aged woman didn’t answer Yeon-hee’s question. Instead, she scrutinized Seo-yeon from top to bottom. Seo-yeon felt uncomfortable not only with the blatant stare but also with the woman’s attitude towards Yeon-hee.
“A young lady should greet adults politely when she sees them.”
“Oh, Seo-yeon. This is the person who assists Father in his daily life. Mrs. Kim.”
Whether Mrs. Kim didn’t like the introduction or not, her gaze became sharper.
“Hello. I’m Han Seo-yeon.”
In reality, Seo-yeon was well aware of the conflicts Mrs. Kim had caused since entering this house. However, in this difficult situation and considering it was their first meeting, she bowed her waist again.
“Our top grandson was said to have fallen for you. I thought you must be exceptionally beautiful. Oh well, nothing special.”
Not even her own grandson, yet claiming to be the top grandson. Seo-yeon almost burst into laughter at Mrs. Kim’s words.
Whether Yeon-hee knew Mrs. Kim well or not, she glanced around without a word in response.
“Is he in the study?”
“You and this young lady will wait in the living room. I’ll bring him out.”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
