He seemed to be nervously anticipating something might happen with Seung Jo.
As if telling her not to worry with a smile, Su Hee went up to the penthouse.
When the elevator stopped at the 20th floor and the door opened, Su Hee stepped out.
Su Hee, standing in front of Room 2002, rang the bell attached to the wall.
Inside, just as the sound of the bell seemed to resonate, the exterior of the door lock twinkled and the door opened.
Su Hee, who pulled the entrance door outwards, carefully stepped inside.
Looking down the long corridor and awkwardly glancing around, Seung Jo emerged from the living room.
“Did you come?”
Su Hee nodded at his natural question.
Seung Jo, in a comfortable tshirt and pants, still had moisture in his hair.
Whether it was the scent of body wash, a faint but sweet scent lingered at the tip of his nose.
It was a scent that didn’t quite fit his cold demeanor.
It felt like a tiger liking strawberries.
However, the scent itself was not bad as it was similar to Su Hee’s taste. It was rather good.
“Come inside.”
Following him, the living room with the Han River as the backdrop unfolded.
Su Hee’s house was not small by any means, but it couldn’t be compared to Seung Jo’s penthouse.
While looking around the living room where several kids could play, Seung Jo headed to the kitchen and asked,
“Do you want to drink something?”
“I’ll have water.”
“Sit and wait.”
As Seung Jo motioned to the sofa, Su Hee looked around and then sat down.
Perhaps because the ceiling was high, the clattering sound from Seung Jo in the kitchen filled the space.
Seung Jo brought a cup of water and placed it on the table.
“Drink.”
Wanting to explain what happened today, Su Hee felt her mouth go dry.
She lifted the water cup to her lips, quenched her thirst, and then put down the cup she had been holding.
“There’s something I have to tell you about the dating rumors today.”
Even if Seung Jo was to get angry, Su Hee planned to humbly accept it.
The one who said not to respond immediately to the dating rumors was CEO Choi.
But the one who didn’t flip it over was Su Hee.
Where and how should she start the story, it was when Su Hee was hesitating.
“I noticed there wasn’t a single correction article related to the dating rumors.”
Before Su Hee got home, Seung Jo had checked all the articles in the entertainment section on his mobile phone.
He thought they would act immediately, but the new articles were all about ‘the silent company’.
“I was going to send out a correction article immediately, but as you know, my situation isn’t good right now.”
“….”
“Because of the dating rumors that broke out today, all articles about my pregnancy rumors and interview attitude have been taken down.”
Su Hee studied Seung Jo’s expression, but couldn’t read it at all.
“If the affair is not true, pregnancy rumors will quickly surface.”
“So, you’re not going to respond to the affair rumors right now?”
“……Yes. That’s the conclusion the CEO and I came to.”
Sitting on the opposite sofa, Seung Jo asked with a thoughtful expression.
“Ms. Oh Su Hee, will there be no significant impact even if a dating rumor about us arises?”
After the dating rumor, the first thing Su Hee did was observe people’s reactions.
She thought people would hurl malicious comments at the sudden dating rumor.
However, contrary to expectation, everyone was wishing for the couple’s happiness.
There were various reasons, but the biggest influence was Seung Jo’s looks.
[“They match well together. We have to acknowledge that.”] [“They’re a beautiful couple. Isn’t this Oh Su Hee’s first dating rumor? It’s about time she’s dating at twentyseven.”] [“If it’s such a man, we’d let our Su Hee sister go.”] Although there were occasionally malicious comments, they didn’t make up a significant proportion.Moreover, even CEO Choi wished that the dating rumor was true, so it couldn’t be seen as a blow.
“The CEO even said it would be better to admit the dating rumor.”
“…….”
“It’s ridiculous. How can we acknowledge the dating rumor when we’re not even dating?”
“Is that so? You’re suggesting admitting the dating rumor.”
It was a sarcastic remark, but Seung Jo took it quite seriously.
Su Hee, who had been smiling faintly, also instinctively tucked her smile away.
“That was it. A pregnancy scandal would be a bigger blow to the actress.”
“That’s good.”
What’s good?
Su Hee tilted her head at the unexpected remark.
“Let’s admit the dating rumor.”
Huh?
Su Hee, who had shut her mouth, couldn’t continue her words in shock as her mouth opened wide.
It took Su Hee, who was shaking her head to regain her senses, a while to recover.
“You’re suggesting we admit the dating rumor? Even though we’re not dating? Why?”
“Or, would you like to date me?”
He showed a fleeting smile.
It was a captivating smile that could captivate anyone at any time.
Su Hee, who couldn’t distinguish between sincerity and jest, was taken aback.
“You can’t be confessing now, are you…… joking?”
“The former was serious, the latter was a joke.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
