Unexpectedly, Dajeong rolled her eyes at the unexpected development.
From the moment she first encountered the old man, she was subtly tense, wondering if she should bring up the topic of Siwoo. She had worried about what might happen to Siwoo in her absence. However, it seemed unnecessary, and she breathed a sigh of relief, yet the unexpected turn of events was still bewildering.
After composing herself, Dajeong solemnly spoke again.
“I understand what Chairman Park is worried about. But don’t worry. There won’t be any marriage with Chajeonghyuk.”
Ah! Well, why not!
Chairman Park clicked his tongue in frustration.
“In my opinion, it’s not to the extent that my grandson can’t see you…”
Slightly probing, Dajeong was straightforward without any pretense.
“Don’t worry. A face like my grandson’s is not common anywhere.”
With a cheerful smile, she spoke, causing Chairman Park to become more interested. She elegantly cleared her throat.
“Our group’s market capitalization is about 850 trillion. When I die, whose will it be if not his?”
850 trillion? It wasn’t an easily comprehensible number in reality, but for now, he pretended to be surprised.
“Wow, that’s enormous. Chajeonghyuk must be happy.”
Then she smiled again. In this awkward situation, Chairman Park sighed involuntarily.
“It’s frustrating like this. What’s the reason for rejecting my grandson?”
With a thunderous roar, he threw the question and stared at Dajeong with a curious childlike expression.
How can I dismiss my grandson-like talented person? He sincerely wanted to know the reason.
Naturally, Chairman Park’s reaction created some discomfort for Dajeong. Dajeong blinked in confusion.
Why are you doing this to me? With the same expression, she pondered for a while and finally opened her mouth.
“Um… Chairman, you don’t dislike me, do you? You don’t want me to marry your grandson.”
For a moment, Chairman Park’s face turned red and blue. It seems he was deeply stung.
“Of course! Even if you give me a hundred trucks, do you think I would bat an eye! Instead of giving someone like you, it’s better to let that guy age and die alone!”
“…Yes, that’s right.”
Agreeing with a calm understanding, Dajeong smiled awkwardly. As she felt last time, the old man’s pride in his grandson seemed tremendous.
Considering that his grandson’s creation was the most valuable and excellent work she had ever made throughout her life, it would be a waste to give him to a pebble-like Dajeong.
Anyway, without hesitation, if there was no intention to allow the grandson, rejecting him was not allowed either.
“Well! What’s the reason?”
Chairman Park questioned the reason. Slightly flustered, Dajeong unknowingly burst into laughter. The old man’s eyebrows twisted uncomfortably.
“Why are you laughing? Is it amusing for an old man?”
Dajeong quickly extended her hand.
“No. It’s not like that. I think it’s because Chajeonghyuk likes you, Mr. Chae.”
Although there was no opportunity, Dajeong couldn’t help but think that she didn’t really know Chairman Park.
Who was the old man in front of her?
He was a figure who, while dominating the South Korean economy, was respected by everyone, the leader of a company that embraced them, and a witness who contributed to the economic development of this country, surviving turbulent times.
In other words, although his stature was small, he was like a giant mountain that had overcome fierce storms.
Naturally, she thought he would be different from ordinary people. However, now that she saw him, he was just an ordinary and slightly stubborn grandmother who believed her grandson was the best in the world.
“That guy… did he really like me?”
Chairman Park asked unexpectedly. He seemed skeptical of Dajeong’s words.
“Surely, you didn’t know?”
“Why wouldn’t I know! He’s my grandson, and I’m his grandmother, of course he would like me!”
Although he grumbled in a burst of frustration, his tone was much gentler. Still, the old man, not believing it entirely, mumbled with a sly tone.
“That boy… Did he really say that? Liked me?”
A tender smile spread across Dajeong’s face.
When she had to assert herself with a grandiose attitude, demanding to have the child, her heart was cruel. At that time, it seemed like she would snatch Siwoo away without hesitation, as if it were a means to an end.
It was so heartbreaking that she often complained about the old man’s slander to her grandson, but he listened quietly and never once cursed his own grandmother.
Perhaps it was because the old man was a precious family member who needed to be embraced and cared for in his eyes.
Despite appearing tough on the outside, she knew that she couldn’t hate the devoted and warm grandmother who only looked at her grandson like a sunflower.
“Naughty thing. Are you making fun of an old man?”
Chairman Park’s gaze was sharp. It was a glare as if to say, ‘Did you ridicule me with baseless assumptions?’ or something similar.
For some reason, silence settled in for a while. Chairman Park, who had been glaring at a distant place, suddenly cleared his throat.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
