The Myeongjin Group was not so insecure as to have to worry about the size of the family that would become their inlaws.
The person who would become Hyuk Joo’s partner needed to be resilient enough to endure and understand his incredibly indifferent personality, more than having outstanding family power or wealth.
Young Ran couldn’t shake the thought that Eun Soo, who seemed more resilient on the inside than the outside, was the right partner for Hyuk Joo.
Her judgment proved right as, even after marrying Hyuk Joo, Eun Soo never strayed from her sight and never did anything against her.
However, as there was no news of a child coming as expected, Young Ran began to feel anxious as she thought she saw her own past in Eun Soo.
Even as she told herself not to, she brought up the subject of a child to Eun Soo, hoping to quell her own anxiety.
“I know it’s early, but if there’s no news by the end of this year, let’s consider invitro fertilization.”
“…Yes.”
“I also think it would be good to get a checkup beforehand, what do you think?”
At the suggestion of a checkup, Eun Soo lifted her head.
“I was thinking it might be good to try a different hospital. They say there’s nothing wrong, but judging by the fact that there’s no child, isn’t there something strange about that hospital?”
“….”
Eun Soo closed her mouth tightly.
Her claim of regularly attending the hospital was a lie. She did this out of fear that her auntinlaw would immediately drag her to the hospital if she didn’t.
If that happened, her history of pediatric cancer treatment would somehow be exposed, which was something that absolutely could not happen.
“I’ll also try going to other hospitals.”
“That’s good.”
Young Ran’s expression softened when the words she wanted to hear came from Eun Soo’s mouth.
After leaving her auntinlaw’s study, Eun Soo didn’t go upstairs but went out to the garden instead.
Buds of a pale purple hue were sprouting at the ends of the withered branches. The air was warm enough to go without a coat.
Of course, whenever the wind blew, her shoulders would involuntarily hunch up.
Eun Soo’s eyes became moist as she looked at the budding leaves.
The air was heralding the fastapproaching spring, but his heart felt hollow as if it was still stuck in winter.
Oh Joo Hwan looked around nervously.
He had deliberately chosen a meeting place in the outskirts.
“Honey!”
Go Joo Kyung, who had just gotten out of a taxi, called out to him. Joo Hwan gestured for her to be quiet by placing his index finger in the middle of his lips, fearing that someone might see them.
“There’s no one around. Why are you acting like we’re being followed?”
“There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
“Do you think other people will follow us because you’re used to spying on others? You worry about everything.”
With her eyes wide open, Joo Kyung linked her arm through Joo Hwan’s and they entered the café.
A wellbuilt man was sitting at the table in the farthest corner. He nodded his head as he saw Oh Joo Hwan and Go Joo Kyung coming in.
“That’s President Kim.”
“President what. These days, everyone is a president.”
Oh Joo Hwan, who enjoyed boasting about his title as the president of Myungjin Apparel, snapped dismissively.
As they approached, they noticed that the man, President Kim, had placed a thick envelope on the table.
Inside it were photos of his soninlaw having an affair.
Joo Hwan swallowed hard as he looked at the object that was about to become his substantial insurance. He took out the envelope full of money he had prepared in advance and handed it over to President Kim.
“I’ve added a bit more than we agreed.”
“Oh, thank you.”
President Kim bowed in gratitude and quickly stuffed the envelope into his pocket.
“I’ll contact you again if I need anything.”
“Yes, feel free to reach out anytime.”
“You may leave now.”
Joo Hwan waved his hand dismissively, signaling President Kim to leave.
Once President Kim had left, Oh Joo Hwan and Go Joo Kyung sat down side by side. They pondered over the thick envelope lying on the table.
Joo Kyung subtly pointed her index finger towards the envelope.
“Are you going straight to Mr. Moon with this?”
“I have to.”
“Will it be okay even though it only shows them meeting?”
“It’s that woman he’s been seeing since before he was married. I mean, I know it’s odd for me to say this, but Mr. Moon couldn’t forget her. Let me show him these pictures. What could go wrong?”
“Ah, poor Eun Soo.”
Go Joo Kyung sighed and clicked her tongue. Then he raised his voice.
“What’s so pitiful? She’s going to be the wife of the chairman of the Myungjin Group.”
“You know, it’s strange. Is Eun Soo really your daughter?”
“What?”
“Shouldn’t you be slapping your soninlaw if he’s seeing another woman behind your daughter’s back?”
“If he was a nobody, maybe. But if I did that to Mr. Moon, I’d be the only one to lose out. Why should I?”
“Anyway, you’re strange.”
Joo Kyung shook her head and pulled out the photos from the envelope.
They were pictures of Moon Hyuk Joo and the woman he was seeing.
A woman greeting Moon Hyuk Joo as he got out of the car.
The two of them walking side by side into the same house.
Moon Hyuk Joo visiting the flower shop where the woman worked.
She silently looked at the photos, then picked one up.
“Is this a temple?”
Oh Joo Hwan took a close look at the photo and chuckled.
“That’s where they enshrined the spirit tablet of Mr. An Sa Don.”
“Mr. An Sa Don?”
“That’s Mr. Moon’s mother.”
“If they’re going together even to the temple where his deceased mother’s spirit tablet is enshrined, can we still say it’s just an affair?”
“If it’s not an affair, then what is it?”
“If his heart is already with that woman, it’s not an affair. He just married Eun Soo, but his real love is here, and if we must say who he’s having an affair with, it’s Eun Soo, isn’t it? Like you and me. Ho ho ho.”
Laughing at her absurd claim, Go Joo Kyung covered her mouth with her hand. However, instead of joining her laughter, Oh Joo Hwan breathed heavily.
Surprised, Joo Kyung tilted her head, observing his face.
Joo Hwan, holding a picture, started to tremble. His face turned red, and he clenched his fist and pounded the table.
“Damn it!”
“What’s wrong with you?”
When Oh Joo Hwan suddenly lost his temper, Go Joo Kyung snatched the photo from his hand with a puzzled look. She wondered what could be in the picture that upset him so much.
It was a picture of a woman sitting in a hospital. Seeing it, Go Joo Kyung cocked her head. She frowned and asked.
“What’s so upsetting about this?”
“Fool! I’ve been telling him to have a child.”
“Why are you suddenly talking nonsense?”
Go Joo Kyung felt frustrated with Oh Joo Hwan, who was getting angry and not answering her question properly.
She looked at a few more photos that followed.
There were pictures of the woman entering the consultation room. And a signboard with the department name was visible behind the image of the woman leaving the hospital.
It was the Obstetrics and Gynecology department.
Seeing the clear signboard of the hospital, Go Joo Kyung was startled and opened her eyes wide.
“This is an Obstetrics and Gynecology department, right?”
“Ah….”
Oh Joo Hwan violently scratched his head with both hands.
Thinking that the child that should have happened to his daughter had already gone to the other side, his mind was in turmoil.
What if that woman was pregnant and his soninlaw found out?
“What should we do now? I’m going crazy.”
If things went wrong, instead of his daughter, that woman could take the position of the daughterinlaw of Myeongjin Group. As he thought of this, it seemed as though everything was turning dark before his eyes.

As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”

Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
