“It depends on how that side comes out. Right, honey?”
“Haha. If we want to please Mr. Jin Gwajang, Chaeun should bow down flat.”
“It’s not a joke! Honestly, because of Chaeun, if I think about the hard times Sara went through, I just want to reject such an invitation.”
Seeing her daughter, Jin Gwajang gave a disapproving look.
In terms of temperament, she, who inherited the dignity of a well-established family from generation to generation, was the eldest daughter of a house.
The fact that Chaeun’s owner was actress Heo Youngju was also unpleasant, not to mention the son of that man.
If my parents were still alive, it would have been a great affair to celebrate.
But for the sake of one goal, she spent her twenties for a wind that could never be released, and she couldn’t just give up on that daughter’s wish.
“It’s because of you, Sara. Go and find out for yourself. You acted all tough and unyielding until you got sick of it. Now, what’s the reason for this change of heart? If it’s because of that resort property…”
“Ah~ Mom. Let’s have a quiet family meal, so let’s put aside serious talk. Okay?”
“…Got it. I understand.”
Seeing her daughter’s mixed attitude, Jin Gwajang stopped lecturing and lifted his teacup.
The deep and rich aroma she liked wafted up her nose.
Since it had come to this, might as well calculate and handle it properly.
If she wanted harmony with her daughter, Chaeha had to give up quite a lot.
Among them were the paintings she owned in Chaewoon Gallery, which she had long coveted.
Even if her young and inexperienced daughter might complain about love, in the end, marriage between parents was nothing more than a big deal.
The one who benefited must be on this side.
“Chairman Kwon, it’s been a while. Nice to see you, Mrs. Heo.”
“It’s been a while indeed. Nice to see you, Director Jin. I heard you’ve been busy with the gallery.”
“Busy, you know. Shall we do just Chaewoon? You’ve been consistently declining our invitations…”
“Mom!”
When Baek Sara poked her side, Jin Gwajang shot a quick glance at them and headed to his seat.
Seeing the mother and daughter, Heo Youngju squinted her eyes and went to the opposite side.
Chaeha, who had already taken her seat, was waiting for them.
Baek Jaeyeong had also come early and was holding a seat, but the two men were emitting only coldness without engaging in a conversation.
As everyone took their seats awkwardly, Chairman Baek immediately got to the point.
“Well then, let’s see why this gathering is happening.”
“Let’s talk slowly while having a meal. I’ve prepared a special course for today, so please enjoy.”
Smiling, Chaeha encouraged them to eat, and Baek Sara secretly felt pleased.
She had often seen him in a bad mood, but he had set up a seat with such care now. It seemed promising.
However…
“Why aren’t you eating? Mrs. Heo, you like caviar, don’t you?”
Heo Youngju’s complexion sitting across from her didn’t look good.
Although they had recently experienced some discord, she must have hoped for such a gathering.
It seemed like she was reluctantly brought to a place where she couldn’t refuse.
“Uh, well, yes. I’ll eat.”
As Heo Youngju scooped up caviar with a spoon, Baek Sara watched without taking her eyes off.
She looked as if she were receiving a secret lover rather than enjoying a delicacy.
The reason became clear soon. It was because Chairman Baek couldn’t wait and had already scooped it up.
“I’ll ask you directly. Kwon Chaeha, have you decided to settle your married life?”
“What are you talking about?”
Taking a sip of water, Chaeha looked puzzled at Chairman Baek’s question.
Upon seeing her confusion, Chairman Baek more explicitly inquired.
“Are you getting a divorce, I mean.”
“Divorce…?”
Like a completely unfamiliar word, Chaeha carefully chewed on that word.
Then, politely but infinitely coldly, she threw a question at Chairman Baek.
“Why do you think I would divorce my wife?”
“…What?”
Perhaps not the expected answer, Chairman Baek immediately turned his gaze to Kwon Kangho.
Without showing any surprise at Chaeha’s words, Kwon Kangho was silently holding an appetizer.
“Didn’t you tell your son? Isn’t that why you arranged this meeting?”
“Well, if apologizing for disgracing your daughter and conceding the resort property is what you’re talking about, I haven’t conveyed anything.”
“What? So, you’re not saying you’ve separated the two? Did you call Sara to be my daughter-in-law or not?”
Pff, both men laughed at the same time.
One was Baek Jaeyeong, who mocked Baek Sara, and the other was Chaeha, laughing at Chairman Baek.
Soon after, Chaeha spoke on behalf of her father.
“There seems to be some misunderstanding. Divorce? We had a private family trip last weekend.”
“…….”
“Oh, while we were at it, I properly proposed to my wife. We plan to have an official wedding soon.”
“What are you talking about? Sara, did you know about this?”
Jin Gwajang urged his daughter in frustration.
Baek Sara also felt like she had been hit on the head.
She thought Minsulwon had left, but he proposed…?
As Baek Sara’s thoughts were in turmoil, Chaeha’s low voice settled back onto the dining table.
“Coincidentally, your daughter seems to have been misinformed. That I’m getting a divorce with my wife.”
“What did you say?”
“I used tricks to make it look that way. I intentionally kept it hidden.”
Baek Sara put down the fork, and instead, clenched her fist tightly under the table.
Her long nails sharply pricked her palm.
“…I should get going now.”
“No, sit down.”
“…….”
Silence descended on the table.
Although there was no coercion, Chaeha’s voice had a strange force to it.
As Baek Sara hesitated to stand up, Chaeha stared at her eyes and issued a warning.
“I told you. I prepared the best course meal. But you shouldn’t leave now. I’m going to tell my wife about what you and Baek Jaeyeong did.”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
