Go Joo Kyung put down the photo she was holding. She let out a sigh with a gloomy face and said,
“What if this woman is carrying a child? Eun Soo might be driven out, right?”
“Oh……”
Oh Joo Hwan sighed, pressing his forehead with his hand.
“Eun Soo’s inlaws were so insistent about a child, right? Honestly, they might have opposed this woman in the past, but if she has a child, their hearts might change.”
“……”
Oh Joo Hwan tightly closed his lips, his forehead furrowing.
Myeongjin Group was ostensibly run around Eun Soo’s fatherinlaw, who was the chairman, but the real power holder was Director Moon Young Ran, who was Eun Soo’s aunt by marriage.
Director Moon Young Ran was a person with a huge obsession for children. That’s why when she brought Eun Soo in as a nieceinlaw, she was more particular about her physical condition than any other condition. Because of this, Oh Joo Hwan had a lot of trouble.
“But why did they oppose this woman?”
“I don’t know the details, but I guess it’s because she was almost like an orphan.”
“Well, they couldn’t just take anyone as a daughterinlaw in that house.”
“That’s right.”
In the slowly nodding Joo Hwan’s eyes, a flash of insight flickered.
They said it was a relationship that had been broken off due to Director Moon Young Ran’s vehement opposition. But would she welcome a woman who was opposed due to her poor background if she was carrying her nephew’s child?
The chances were slim.
What kind of neighborhood is this?
On the surface, everyone pretended to care for each other with gentle smiles, but behind the scenes, they were busy tearing each other down, exposing each other’s flaws.
If Eun Soo were to be replaced and that woman brought in, all sorts of rumors would emerge. If her background was added to that, people would gossip even more enthusiastically.
So then.
Oh Joo Hwan seemed to have thought of a good idea, his face brightening as he spoke.
“Let’s just keep an eye on things for now.”
“You’re saying we should just wait and see even though this woman is carrying a child?”
“Let’s wait until Moon’s husband brings up the issue first. Even if she mentions the child and talks about divorce, it’s okay as long as Eun Soo doesn’t allow it.”
“What about the child then?”
“If Eun Soo says she’ll raise it, then that’s that.”
“Eun Soo will raise a child that isn’t hers?”
“Why can’t she? She can hire a nanny for the child, and Eun Soo can earn merit by raising a child that Moon’s husband fathered outside.”
Oh Joo Hwan patted his knees in awe of the brilliant solution he came up with.
If Eun Soo couldn’t get pregnant, she could just continue raising that child as her own, and if Eun Soo were to get pregnant, that was something they could think about then.
“Do you think Eun Soo will agree?”
“What are you going to do if she says she can’t? I have ways to make her listen, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
Oh Joo Hwan was beaming.
Before the next regular personnel reshuffle, he would subtly let his soninlaw know that he was aware of his infidelity, and he would slowly explain all this to Eun Soo.
There would be a storm once, but as long as Eun Soo endured it moderately, everyone would be able to live comfortably as they did now, as if nothing had ever happened.
The villa on the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province was about an hour’s drive away.
The villa was situated with a low mountain range sprawling behind it, and a refreshing green meadow spread out in front.
Due to the congregation of villas belonging to wellknown individuals, Hyuk Joo did not particularly like this place.
This was a place to rest, but if he happened to run into people he knew, he would inevitably have to share various stories as if it were an extension of his work.
Perhaps that’s why.
All throughout the drive, Hyuk Joo’s face was stern. It might have been due to the frequent businessrelated calls he was receiving.
As if all matters of the Myungjin Group had to go through Moon Hyuk Joo, various department heads took turns calling him.
Even after arriving at the villa, there was no moment his cell phone left his hand.
Eun Soo, watching Hyuk Joo on the phone in the living room, picked up her own phone to check the screen.
It was a message sent by Hwang In Woo that morning.
The promise to meet Dr. Hwang last time had to be cancelled as something came up for Eun Soo.
After confirming she had no other plans, Eun Soo sent a reply saying she would get back to him soon.
She put her cell phone down on the table and began organizing the items she brought.
In a square sealed container, there were ingredients for mushroom hot pot, all prepared and ready to be boiled or heated for eating.
She planned to have mushroom hot pot for dinner and a simple toast for breakfast the next day.
“What’s this?”
Eun Soo tilted her head as she looked at the ingredients in another sealed container.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
