“Well, he said he’s curious because I’m marrying a conglomerate heiress, disregarding all the rich girls and even marrying the daughter of Congressman Jin. I guess he’s intrigued.”
Seoha felt uneasy, but she politely laughed and corrected Jeongyeon’s words.
“It’s not that I won him over. Taekyung oppa pursued me first. If you’re curious about my charm, it’s better to ask Taekyung oppa directly. I’m curious too. He tells me every day that I’m pretty, but I wonder where he thinks I’m so pretty.”
“Oh my, really? Is our young master saying that? Seems like he’s completely fallen for you. Are you a bewitching woman?”
Whether Jeongyeon did it on purpose or not, she continued with remarks whose intention was unclear.
Seoha’s head was throbbing. She didn’t want to engage in a conversation with such a partner. It seemed more comfortable to confront the issue directly.
Moreover, Jeongyeon didn’t hesitate to ask sensitive questions.
The innocent-looking face asking as if there were no ill intentions was even more unpleasant.
“But surely, you won’t bring the child in as a member of the HY Group, right?”
“The child? Are you talking about our Minjun?”
When Seoha questioned with suspicion in her ears, Jeongyeon answered as if it were entirely obvious.
“Yes, your child. From what I see now, it seems like our young master adores that child tremendously. But still, even though it’s not his own child, if he becomes the successor of the HY Group or something, isn’t it a bit much?”
“That seems to be the main point. Are you afraid that my child might take away some of Jeongyeon’s shares?”
Seoha finally clearly saw why the dinner was uncomfortable. Jeongyeon’s vigilance had been continuously irritating Seoha.
In the past, she might have silently endured the discomfort, but now she wanted to confidently protect herself. Besides, it was about Minjun.
Honestly, Seoha never thought Minjun would become the successor of the HY Group. Taekyung was just Taekyung, and Minjun’s father was just Minjun’s father.
Living an ordinary life like other families with mom and dad was what she hoped for.
Ignoring Seoha’s chilly atmosphere, Jeongyeon continued with her words.
“It’s not good to have multiple successors. Ever heard of sibling rivalry?”
“You need to have siblings for there to be sibling rivalry. And our Minjun is Taekyung oppa’s close friend.”
When Seoha firmly responded, Jeongyeon’s round eyes became even rounder, as if they might spill over.
At that moment, Taekyung returned to his seat and sensed a strange atmosphere, starting from Seoha.
“Seoha, what’s wrong? Is something the matter?”
“No, Jeongyeon was worried. She’s concerned that our Minjun, even though he’s not Taekyung oppa’s own friend, might become the successor of the HY Group.”
Seoha explained with a smile to Taekyung. Although Seoha’s eyes were smiling, a sense of discomfort lingered in her words. Taekyung raised an eyebrow, looking at Jeongyeon.
“Sister-in-law? Minjun isn’t my friend’s child? Maybe Mom didn’t tell you. Minjun is indeed my friend’s child.”
“A friend’s child! That can’t be!”
“It doesn’t make sense. I met Seoha seven years ago and started dating. Our Minjun was born before Seoha graduated.”
“Oh my, oh my, oh my!”
Jeongyeon only exclaimed “Oh my” in response to Taekyung’s explanation.
Seoha dryly questioned Taekyung despite Jeongyeon’s admiration.
“Oh, and it seems Jeongyeon is curious about my charm. She says I’m marrying a conglomerate heiress even though all the rich girls are turning me down.”
Taekyung burst into laughter at those words. Taeju shook his head amusedly.
While Jeongyeon used to view Taekyung as innocent and naive, today she felt frustrated.
“Sister-in-law. Seoha is beautiful. Isn’t she? Isn’t she beautiful in every way? I fell for her at first sight.”
Taekyung casually commented, making Jeongyeon’s mouth widen even more.
“Oh my, is our young master like this?”
Taeju held Jeongyeon’s hand, signaling her to stop. Taeju spoke instead of Jeongyeon.
“Jesu, I’m sorry. My wife has a very straightforward personality, and I’m not good at handling her blunt remarks. Please understand.”
“I understand that you might be curious about us and our child. However, it feels uncomfortable when you speak so casually about it, as if you’re not considering my feelings, following Jeongyeon’s standards.”
“Oh my, oh my!”
“I would appreciate an apology for this.”
“No, well. Anyway, I’m sorry. But what! You could be curious! Being honest is better than being hypocritical, isn’t it, Master?”
Jeongyeon looked at Taekyung as if seeking his agreement. However, Taekyung remained cold.
“Sister-in-law. I’ll end it here. Please show respect to Seoha. I won’t just let it slide anymore, even if you’re my sister-in-law.”
“Taekyung, even if your sister-in-law made a mistake, don’t act too intimidatingly.”
Despite Taekyung’s firmness, Taeju intervened. However, Taekyung didn’t want to overlook Jeongyeon’s rudeness.
“Brother, speaking lightly about my woman is like speaking lightly about me. That’s unacceptable. Especially among family, among close relationships, you should maintain boundaries more. If Seoha speaks rudely, even if she packages it as honesty, will you just stand by, Brother?”
“I’m sorry. Jesu. I’m sorry. Dear, you should apologize too. Taekyung and Jesu are not wrong in what they said.”
“Why are you like this too? Even Master didn’t see it that way. Seriously. Because you fell for a woman, do you not recognize family hierarchy anymore? What did I say wrong?”
When no one held back Jeongyeon, she got up from her seat, looking upset.
Taeju sighed, and Taekyung watched Jeongyeon’s departure coldly. Seoha remained calmly seated.
As no one stopped Jeongyeon, she shot Seoha a look of anger before leaving.
Taeju quickly got up.
“Jesu, Taekyung. I’m sorry. I’ll leave first. You two finish your meal.”
Taeju followed Jeongyeon as if there was nothing he could do. Taekyung just nodded, and Seoha politely greeted.
Looking puzzled as the staff brought the main dishes and saw the missing guest, Taekyung requested that only his and Seoha’s portions be served.
“Seoha, are you very upset inside? I’m sorry. I should have told my sister-in-law beforehand.”
“It’s not your fault, Oppa. It’s because Jeongyeon can’t distinguish between what to say and what not to say. I also got criticized sharply.”
“I didn’t expect Minjun to be seen like that. This won’t do. Let’s submit the marriage registration right away. We’ll do it tomorrow.”
Taekyung’s impulsive drive was faster than a rocket. However, Seoha held Taekyung’s hand, faintly smiled, and said:
“Please, let’s take it slowly. Tell Dad again and submit the marriage registration.”
“Oh, right. Let’s do that.”
