The inside of the car was filled with a heavy silence. Neither of them spoke first.
However, Tae-eun was lost in her thoughts. The moment he asked, “Is Min Tae-eun just a woman that I would allow to be treated like that by a guy like him?” his gaze remained unforgettable.
“I know. I know very well what treatment you’ll receive if you go inside with that jerk and that house. But should I let go of this hand? And should I let in that guy who gets drunk and indulges in sexual harassment with you?”
…
“Is Min Tae-eun just a woman that I would allow to be treated like that by a guy like him?”
She inadvertently exposed the part she least wanted him to know. How much did he know from where to where?
Maybe he knew everything. After all, he was a man who, if determined, could uncover anything.
She ended up revealing the part she least wanted him to know. What kind of thoughts did he have as he looked at her, blushing from embarrassment at that moment? Strangely, she didn’t dislike the man at that moment. What was he thinking as he looked at her, burning with embarrassment?
In fact, going home together with a drunk Jihun after the chaos was almost like suicide. Jihun wouldn’t stop there, and Mingyeonghun and Jieun would probably grab her, siding with Jihun.
Looking back, the man saved her once again from that hell.
“Where are we going?”
Breaking the long silence, she asked. She had blindly followed him into the car, but she had nowhere else to go.
“Why? Should I abduct Min Tae-eun and take her to some strange place?”
“No. It’s just that…”
“Is it that important where we’re going?”
“…”
“What’s important is that Min Tae-eun doesn’t have to go into that house today.”
Upon hearing that, Tae-eun lost words for a moment. He pointed out a really important reality.
The fact that today she didn’t have to go into that house.
Even in that situation, she was determined to step into that hell because, after all, it was her home. Even though there was no comfort or coziness at home, it was still home. The moment she denied that fact, she would lose her sense of belonging and become someone with nowhere to go.
But then, her phone vibrated. When she took it out of her handbag, the caller was none other than Jieun. She probably heard the story from a drunk Jihun after entering the house and called.
The moment she answered the call, Tae-eun instinctively knew that she would hear unpleasant words.
“Don’t answer it today.”
While hesitating, he made the decision for her. And she instinctively knew that she would hear unpleasant words.
Today, she just wanted to be led without any thoughts, following him.
The car stopped at an unfamiliar and massive place. Woojin got off while talking on the phone, and Tae-eun also got off in a dazed state.
Well-kept gardens and mood lighting scattered throughout were enhancing the grand atmosphere of the building.
He was on a call, so she didn’t dare to ask and followed him inside. As he turned around, he asked, “By any chance, what is your weight?”
“My weight?”
He nodded with his eyes, and Tae-eun replied, “48 kilograms? Well, around that…”
Without a chance to ask for a reason, it seemed like someone was informing her weight and height to someone. As they entered the house, the lights turned on, revealing a huge hall.
“I sent people away to avoid discomfort.”
“Where… is this?”
“Where I live. Jangwon’s main house.”
“Then… your grandmother and aunts too?”
“Yes. But since it’s a different building, you don’t have to worry too much about Tae-eun being here.”
Tae-eun nodded and glanced around the interior of the house. Although Mingyeonghun was a fairly successful lawyer, her house was nothing compared to Jangwon’s main house where he stayed.
Sleek and unique interior design caught her eye. Combined with its scale, the building truly reflected Jangwon’s status.
“It’s incredibly spacious.”
“Yes. It’s a bit too spacious for living alone.”
“You live alone here?”
“Well, it’s just a place to sleep and rest.”
“Why only sleep? Here?”
“I spend more time at work than here. So, it ends up being just a place to sleep.”
Ah, she momentarily forgot. How busy he must be.
“In a little while, the things you can wear will arrive, thanks to personal shopper Song Manager. Shall I show you around while we wait?”
Tae-eun nodded cautiously. The fact that he was making an effort to ease her tension was conveyed even to her heart.
“As you can see, this is the hall, there’s the dining room over there, and here is where I work out.”
As he guided her through these places, Tae-eun was amazed. She knew it was spacious, but who would have imagined a movie theater, a gym, and even a huge outdoor bathtub in this house? It was truly another level of life.
Only now did Tae-eun keenly feel who this man was. No, now she understood why Jieun was so obsessed with Seo Woojin.
For her, he was someone she couldn’t possibly overlook.
The unmatched wealth and power seemed to give even more wings to the charming man.
“And here, my bedroom.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
