In a few months, Kang Hyun’s attitude towards Yoon had changed significantly, as if he had grown fond of her. It was an unpredictable sight to see how the disheveledlooking Yoon was going to deal with the foxlike Kang Hyun.
Seeing even Kang Hyun being manipulated, there was no doubt that there was another side behind Yoon’s innocent face.
‘He will soon get bored. Either way, next time I must bring in a better girl as a daughterinlaw.’
With these thoughts, Soon Rye, watching Chairman Cha, let out a bitter smile.
“Kang Hyun was admitted to the best university in Korea. In that respect, our niece, the daughterinlaw, is quite lacking. In many ways!”
At Soon Rye’s words, Kang Hyun looked at her with disdain. It seemed that she would do the same to Yoon after his own mother, and Kang Hyun wished that Soon Rye would know her place.
“What does it matter if he got admitted? He didn’t attend. After all, isn’t his final academic background high school graduation? Come to think of it, I am far less than my wife. In many ways!”
At Kang Hyun’s retort, Soon Rye closed her mouth.
After finishing the meal, Yoon brought out an apron to clean up, but Kang Hyun pulled her out.
“How can we leave first when Auntie hasn’t left yet?”

Yoon said, looking perplexed.
“What does it matter? It’s already past 11 o’clock. You have to go to work tomorrow.”
Yoon felt uncomfortable being the first to leave, as she had arrived late and felt sorry.
“Was it tough? You don’t have to come here unnecessarily in the future. Even if you have to come next time, just come with me.”
At Kang Hyun’s words, Yoon felt somehow disappointed.
“Why is your expression like that?”
Kang Hyun asked, seeing the gloomylooking Yoon.
“Do I seem that unlikable?”
Yoon’s voice sharply cut through. The hurt she had received today from Chairman Cha and Soon Rye, she eventually revealed to Kang Hyun.
“What?”

At Yoon’s words, Kang Hyun parked the car on the side of the road.
“I’m sorry. But even if I’m not good at it, I want to try. Wouldn’t my fatherinlaw look at me differently if I keep doing as grandfather said?”
Feeling sorry for taking out her anger on Kang Hyun, Yoon spoke in a deflated voice. She felt terrible for snapping at Kang Hyun, who had rushed over out of concern for her.
“My father isn’t the kind to change.”
“I should have prepared the memorial service in advance since I’m the daughterinlaw.”
“Why should you have to prepare the memorial service for a person whose face you’ve never seen?”
“What?”
Kang Hyun could see his mother, Gi Seon, dragging her sick body to prepare for the memorial service. Even after preparing the memorial table with difficulty, the daughterinlaw of this house had constantly been chastised by Soon Rye for always claiming to be sick.
“It’s not that you’re unlikable. It’s the people in our house that are the problem. Anyway, from now on, let’s come together if you come.”
“Okay.”

However, Yoon felt the sting of Soon Rye’s words, saying she had learned nothing, in her heart. Whenever she made a mistake, the arrows would always be pointed towards Ok Soon and Ho Sik, who had raised her.
“There’s no need to be hurt by what people who know nothing about you say. Whether you do well or not, she’s the kind of person who’ll find fault unconditionally.”
Thinking that Soon Rye would undoubtedly have said something hurtful to Yoon, Kang Hyun’s gaze flashed intensely.
‘How dare she, to my wife.’
It was out of the question to force his own wife to live with his mother.
When she came out wearing the clothes that Kyung Hwa had chosen for her, she clapped continuously.
“You look like a princess from some European country.”
At Kyung Hwa’s somewhat excessive compliment, Yoon awkwardly laughed.
“Let’s go now. The CEO arrived a bit earlier and is waiting in the parking lot.”
“Okay.”

Yoon had agreed to accompany the team for a partnered meal with the officials of the U.S. headquarters OTT platform. As it was her first time in such a setting, she was extremely nervous.
“Madam, don’t be nervous.”
Seeing the tense Yoon, Kyung Hwa clenched her fist and cheered her on.
“I’m nervous.”
As usual, Yoon spoke while clenching her two hands together. Then Kyung Hwa warmly held Yoon’s trembling hands and escorted her to the parking lot.
“Have a good time.”
As Yoon got into the car, Kang Hyun gently fastened her seatbelt, and seeing the two in such an affectionate moment, the corner of Kyung Hwa’s mouth rose slightly.
‘Get a grip, Ji Kyung Hwa! It’s not your romance.’
Kyung Hwa waved to Yoon with a bright smile, and thanks to her radiant grin, Yoon’s heart felt a bit at ease.
“Have you been waiting long?”

Kang Hyun was also dressed in a stylish suit. At his handsome appearance, Yoon’s heart fluttered.
“No, I got to rest a bit thanks to you.”
Kang Hyun couldn’t take his eyes off Yoon, who looked particularly beautiful today. Of course, she was pretty enough without dressing up, but he was in awe of Yoon, who had transformed into an elegant princess.
‘She could be a little less beautiful.’
Kang Hyun took her hand and kissed the back of it, causing Yoon’s cheeks to flush in the moment.
“Shall we kiss a bit before we go?”
Kang Hyun fluttered his eyebrows.
“We’re running late.”
Yoon looked around and bit her lip.
“We have about 20 minutes to spare.”

“……”
Kang Hyun burst out laughing, watching Yoon seriously considering his words.
“But I think once we start, we won’t be able to finish within 20 minutes, so we can’t.”
Lately, he was in a dangerous state.
‘It’s troublesome when she’s too beautiful.’
With a sigh, Kang Hyun gently started the car.
“But I’m a bit nervous.”
As something she had only seen in dramas suddenly confronted her, Yoon started to feel her marriage to Kang Hyun becoming more real.
“Don’t worry, I’m here with you.”
“Yes. But Kang Hyun, you look so handsome dressed like this.”

Yoon couldn’t take her eyes off him in his sharp suit.
“Really?”
“Yes. You look like an adult, an adult man, a handsome man.”
Yoon put her hand on her heating cheeks. The fact that the man next to her was Cha Kang Hyun, the top actor in Korea, suddenly hit her.
“So, should I only wear suits at home?”
“Eh? No, it’s cooler if you only wear them occasionally.”
Yoon’s eyes curved like a crescent moon. Once again, Kang Hyun’s heart started to flutter at the sight.
“You can’t act like this elsewhere.”
“Eh?”
“You can only smile like that in front of me.”

“You’re something else, Kang Hyun.”
At his words, Yoon giggled.
A little while later, the two arrived at their meeting place. It was a private restaurant that Kang Hyun often used for business meetings and meals.
It was on the top floor of a sevenstory building, with a separate elevator. Yoon got into the elevator with Kang Hyun.
As the elevator doors closed, Kang Hyun pulled her into his arms.
“There’s a CCTV here.”
“Really?”
Even after hearing her words, Kang Hyun didn’t seem to care, he kissed her forehead.
“Kang Hyun.”
Yoon looked at the CCTV nervously.

“Then be a little less beautiful.”
At Kang Hyun’s words, Yoon looked up at him with her mouth open.
“……Um, that’s a bit cheesy.”
