Fortunately or unfortunately, that night, the two did not cross the line.
However, Chae Ha respected her wishes, and in doing so, firmly decided on his own as well.
Thus, they agreed to sleep in the same bed, embracing each other.
As always in the past, it was because Chae Ha complained about the cold.
It was winter then, and now it was a hot summer night, a nonsensical statement.
It was an obvious lie, but for some reason, Seol Won didn’t mind his warmth.
Thanks to this, it was the deepest and most comfortable night of sleep since she had returned to this house.
On the other hand, Yeong Ju was suffering from insomnia she never had before.
Her condition, writhing like a wilted plant, could be likened to having a serious illness.
Seeing her in such a state, the manager Yoon, who had been watching her for a while, finally spoke up.
“Madam, if you called me, just let it out.”
“What? Let what out?”
“Your dark under eyes, it’s as if you have hundredyearold worries. Every five minutes, you’re sighing heavily. Just say it outright. Isn’t that why you called me?”
“Manager Yoon, you’re really sharp and crafty.”
“If you’re going to praise me, just praise me.”
When Manager Yoon retorted coldly, Yeong Ju stared at him for a while.
Though he was crafty, he was right.
If she kept brooding alone like this, she felt like she would fall sick. No, she might already be sick.
But she could not dare to confide in Kang Ho.
“Madam, you really look like someone with a heart disease right now.”
“Heart…… disease?”
Yeong Ju’s eyes widened.
This disease, what was it? It was heart disease!
Having heard the straightforward answer, Yeong Ju started clinging onto Manager Yoon as if she had met her saviour.
“He keeps lingering in my dreams. Actually, I think he’s lingering even when my eyes are open. Why, isn’t that a hallucination? I see him all the time! I should call someone else’s name, but his name just comes out. Woo Ju, I say……”
Murmuring as if reciting a spell, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say Yeong Ju’s eyes were already deep in Woo Ju.
“Let’s go.”
With that, Manager Yoon, who was quite decisive, pulled up the mumbling Yeong Ju.
“Huh? Where to?”
Looking up at Manager Yoon who had already stood up, Yeong Ju made a confused face.
“Madam, you are quite severe. So, we have to go for treatment, is there any other way?”
“Treatment……?”
“Let’s go see him. The kid named Woo Ju.”
“What?”
Whether it was a scream of surprise or joy, an unknowable cry sprung from Yeong Ju’s throat.
She quickly racked her brain.
If Chae Ha or Min Seol Won happened to come to the daycare…
“Don’t worry. Last time, too, we went during break time, didn’t we? Neither the vice president nor the little madam will be at the daycare at this time.”
Director Yoon, as if seeing right through her, reassured Heo Young Joo.
His words, asserting there was nothing to worry about, made her forget to even correct him for using the title ‘little madam’.
UJu…
The child with lips as sweet as cherries, who used to call her a pretty grandma, who had a pure smile.
The round back of his head, as he turned around after bowing at her, was something she just couldn’t forget.
Heo Young Joo, in fact, had dreamt of playing on the seesaw with UJu several times since that day.
“Well, I guess. If Director Yoon insists that much…”
“Yes, yes. The madam wasn’t very keen, but I’m pushing her to go. There’s no other choice.”
“Hmm. Oh, wait! Director Yoon. What if we go emptyhanded! Wait. I’ve got various things bought at home…”
Director Yoon looked at the back of Heo Young Joo rushing off to prepare snacks and sighed.
By the time she reappeared, arms full of various snacks and toys, his sigh deepened as if the ground was collapsing.
It was clear that she had everything prepared, regardless of where she had been hiding it.
“Do I look pretty?”
“Pardon?”
The increasingly difficult task of serving the madam made waves of thoughts flood Director Yoon’s heart.
Seeing his surprised expression in the mirror, Heo Young Joo uttered an uncharacteristically timid remark.
“Would I look pretty in the eyes of the kids?”
“Oh… so that’s what you meant. I thought something else.”
“What? What did you think I meant then?”
Seeing Heo Young Joo squinting even from behind her sunglasses, Director Yoon made an irritated noise.
“It’s nothing. Madam, you’re always beautiful. Especially being a body of a former actress.”
“Director Yoon, are you mocking me now?”
“Of course not. You’re beautiful. Beautiful enough that you should take off those sunglasses. If you’re worried about the kid recognizing you, that’d be much more suspicious.”
Huffing indignantly, Heo Young Joo gracefully took off her sunglasses and put them in her handbag.
The truth was, she was not worried about being recognized, but rather hoping to be recognized.
Director Yoon’s sharpness was lacking when it came to understanding the delicate female heart.
A short while later, the two arrived safely at the Ipse leaf kindergarten.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
