Su Yeon turned around with a surprised expression.
It was In Ho’s face that filled her greatly dilated pupils.
“Oh, hey, In Ho. When, when did you get here?”
“Just now.”
In Ho shrugged his shoulders in response to Young Sun’s words.
But throughout, he couldn’t take his eyes off Su Yeon.
“Were you here all along? I wondered where you were since this morning.”
In Ho asked her with a gently smiling face.
Clearly, the question was directed at her.
So she should answer it.
“……”
But Su Yeon was at a loss for words.
Her mind was as blank as a white paper.
Seeing her flustered, In Ho took one more step closer.
Then, with his long arms, he wrapped her shoulders and pulled her tightly towards his side.
“Do you prefer eating with my mother over me?”
His playful tone slowly echoed in her ears.
At the same time, a steady rhythm was transmitted through her shoulder that was caught by him.
The pupils of the dazed Su Yeon shook in confusion.
Seeing her confused face, In Ho quickly narrowed his eyes and gave Young Sun a signal.
Only then did Su Yeon realize.
That In Ho was purposely acting jovial.
He had noticed her difficult situation and was doing his best to manage the situation between Young Sun and her.
“……I thought it’d be better if you rested, so I purposely didn’t wake you.”
Su Yeon replied to In Ho awkwardly.
Seeing her, In Ho smirked as if he was pleased.
Su Yeon held her breath to hide her rapidly beating heart.
Whether he knew this or not, In Ho grinned even more and licked his lips.
“Don’t you want to eat, Mother? Did you eat something wrong in the morning?”
Just before he asked Young Sun, he pulled up one corner of his mouth even more.
Although it was a trivial action, Su Yeon felt like she knew what it meant.
He must have asked on purpose.
To make it impossible for her to say she was about to eat lunch now.
His intention was clear that he would not give any chance to leave them alone.
“Oh, uh, that is. I ate some bread and it seems to be indigestible, my stomach doesn’t feel good.”
“Do you need to go to the hospital? Or should I call Dr. Kim?”
“No, no. I’m okay, my son.”
Young Sun showed a forced smile with a flustered face.
Su Yeon stared at Young Sun.
One of Young Sun’s eyelids was twitching irregularly.
And she was glancing towards the kitchen continuously.
Probably conscious of Madam Young Chun who might be listening to this conversation from the kitchen.
From Young Sun’s perspective, In Ho’s sudden appearance and his attitude as if nothing had happened must be embarrassing.
Only after she had somewhat grasped the sudden situation did Su Yeon realize what she needed to do.
She just had to leave this place with In Ho, playing the role of a tactful daughterinlaw, creating a plausible excuse for Young Sun.
Emotions welled up throughout her body.
If she didn’t put effort into staying still, she felt like she wouldn’t be able to hide a smile looking up at In Ho.
Su Yeon took a deep breath without anyone noticing and watched Young Sun’s reaction.
“Should I buy some medicine if you’re not feeling well, Mother? I’ll buy abalone on the way too. You like abalone porridge, don’t you?”
Su Yeon asked with a cautious voice.
In reality, she could have said she would go ahead with In Ho using Young Sun’s words of not feeling well as an excuse.
Maybe In Ho even wanted that.
But Su Yeon didn’t want to.
She wanted to fulfill her duty as a daughterinlaw, seeing how In Ho was going out of his way for her.
“Do you know that Mother likes abalone porridge?”
The question was directed at Young Sun, but the one who answered was In Ho.
“……Yes? Ah, yes.”
Su Yeon nodded with a surprised face.
At this, In Ho smiled even brighter and put more strength into the hand on her shoulder.
“I was even forgetting it, but when you remember and take care of it, I am grateful. Mother, our Su Yeon is very thoughtful.”
“Ah, right. It was a passing comment, but our daughterinlaw has a good memory.”
Young Seon couldn’t hide her discomfort, forcing a smile on her lips.
“Mother, if you want abalone porridge, just say so. I’ll buy it from the porridge shop downstairs. You liked their abalone porridge, didn’t you?”
“Ah, yes, that’s right. Their porridge is delicious. Then, I should have it with our son and…”
“Ah, I don’t think it’s a good idea to eat when my stomach hasn’t settled down yet.”
In Ho cut off Young Seon’s words with a brazen expression.
Su Yeon, who had been quietly watching the situation, was nervous but didn’t step forward.
“Ah, um, yes. I think it’s better for mom to rest.”
“You think so too, right? But please make sure to take your medicine.”
“Don’t worry, son. Just by worrying about me like this, I feel like I’ve been washed clean.”
Young Seon closed her eyes in a coy smile.
There still seemed to be something uncomfortable, but she didn’t seem to dislike In Ho’s softer attitude compared to yesterday.
However, In Ho had no intention of letting this situation pass like a snake over a wall.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
