Thinking about seeing Yoon in a few days, Kang Hyun’s face brightened. Not seeing her for a few days made her constantly appear in his thoughts.
Due to a busy schedule, they hadn’t been able to have a proper phone conversation. However, even while handling his busy agenda, his heart was always with her.
“Next time, I should take her with me.”
Kang Hyun opened his phone and watched a video of Yoon on his birthday, smearing cream on his face and running away, laughing. No matter how many times he watched it, it never got old.
“How can she smile so brightly like this?”
Kang Hyun, looking at the photo, also smiled brightly like a child.
Driving an inconspicuous car, Kang Hyun headed to her school.
Arriving early and waiting for her, Kang Hyun saw Yoon coming out with a male colleague, a teacher she had seen her with the last time she picked her up.
“That guy again?”
When Seung Yeop said something, Yoon looked at him with a smile, which didn’t sit well with Kang Hyun, so he honked the horn impatiently.
Yoon, noticing his car, quickly greeted Seung Yeop and rushed over.
“Kang Hyun, did you wait for a long time?”
Yoon got into the car, panting.
“Why did you run so much? Don’t run; you might get hurt. Got it?”
Kang Hyun said as if giving a warning to a child. Lately, he understood the feelings of a mother raising a child.
I even had some absurd thoughts, wondering if this is what it feels like for parents raising a child with insomnia, worrying if it will fly away if you let go or if it will go out if you hold onto it too tightly.
“Yes, I’ll be careful. Did you have a good trip? You must be tired. Should we head straight home?”
“You have to take the hellish commute, right? That’s why I bought the car.”
But suddenly, Yoon driving seemed dangerous.
“No, it might be even more dangerous. Should I hire a driver?”
As Kang Hyun muttered to himself, he glanced at Seung Yeop, who was still looking at his car. Seung Yeop also peeked inside the car.
“What’s he doing?”
Even though the window tint was dark, it seemed like he wanted to confirm something.
“Is he a colleague teacher?”
“Yes.”
It was clear that he had a liking for Yoon. Kang Hyun’s eyes sparkled sharply.
“How old is he?”
“He’s thirty.”
“What! He’s much older than you. That rascal…”
But then Kang Hyun quickly realized that he was also in his thirties and decided to keep quiet.
“By the way, the training camp is next week.”
Kang Hyun changed the subject.
“Yes, Kang Hyun is going to Japan. I saw it in the news yesterday. The CEO of BSK Platform Headquarters is coming to meet Kang Hyun, right?”
“I do have a schedule, but it’s not confirmed.”
Kang Hyun’s drama was a massive success in the first quarter, and this latest “Cruel Killer” had a successful start as well. Perhaps that’s why the CEO of BSK, the world’s top platform company, personally called to congratulate him and even scheduled a business trip to Japan to coincide with Kang Hyun’s schedule.
Kang Hyun had high expectations for his meeting with the CEO of BSK, as the next project that his production company was preparing had also piqued their interest. This meeting was crucial, as it could serve as a catalyst for JM Productions to leap into the ranks of global production companies.
“Kang Hyun, you’re really amazing.”
Yoon gave Kang Hyun a thumbs-up.
“Really?”
“Of course. You’re so cool.”
Yoon remembered the praise from Hosik, who had admired Kang Hyun for his self-sufficiency despite being the son of a wealthy family.
“Your grandfather is really proud of you.”
“My grandfather?”
“Yes, he says you’ve not only passed the best university but also become self-reliant. He’s so happy.”
“Is that so? But what if he meets me and gets disappointed?”
“He won’t.”
Yoon thought that perhaps, after meeting Kang Hyun, Hosik would like him even more.
“I can’t wait to meet him soon.”
“I mentioned it yesterday.”
“Is Grandma allowing it now?”
“Yes. Actually, Grandma also wants to see Kang Hyun a lot. By the way, do you want to see a picture of our grandparents?”
“Sure.”
In fact, he had already seen a picture in the materials sent by the chairman, but it was an official photo. So, he wanted to see a picture of their everyday life.
When the car stopped at a traffic light, Yoon opened her phone and showed two pictures, and Kang Hyun couldn’t take his eyes off them.
It was a photo of Hosik, Oksoon, and Yoon, all brightly smiling in one frame. It was a picture that made people smile involuntarily.
“Where was this taken?”
“At home. It was taken last spring during Grandma’s birthday party.”
Come to think of it, there was a small cake in the background of the photo.
“I’ll be here for Grandma’s birthday next time.”
“I’m sure you will.”
Hosik and Oksun didn’t look alike, but strangely, both of their faces showed traces of Yoon. Especially Oksun, who resembled Yoon a lot, caught Kang Hyun’s attention.
“You look a lot like Grandma.”
“Yes, everyone says that.”
Kang Hyun felt strangely familiar with Oksun and Hosik, who resembled Yoon.
“I really want to meet both of them.”
“Yes.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
