The Sunday scheduled to meet Leon.
Shi-hyun came to Su-yeon early in the morning and helped her get dressed.
“Auntie, would you like to try this on?”
It was a modest dress with no exposed areas, but to Su-yeon, who had been wearing an apron for a long time, it didn’t seem to suit her at all. It felt like a maid who had stolen the princess’s clothes.
“We went to the department store in the morning and picked this out with Tae-ha. How is it? Do you like it?”
“You didn’t have to go to such trouble.”
After dressing Su-yeon in new clothes, Shi-hyun also took her to a beauty salon.
“Let’s make our big sister look pretty today!”
It took two hours for makeup and hairstyling.
“Our sister looks so beautiful!”
Shi-hyun clapped her hands in delight when she saw Su-yeon with makeup on, but Su-yeon still felt awkward looking at herself in the mirror.
However, she obediently followed Shi-hyun’s instructions, not refusing, as she didn’t want to appear pitiful in front of the man she was meeting after 25 years.
Though she had only seen him briefly from a distance, he remained as beautiful as ever. It was hard to believe that so many years had passed.
No matter how much she dressed up, she couldn’t hide her age, but she wanted to make an effort.
“But does he know he’s meeting me today?”
“No. I purposely didn’t tell him to surprise him.”
While Shi-hyun was chuckling, she looked a bit worried.
“But is it really okay for you two to meet without us?”
Thinking Su-yeon was concerned about communication, Shi-hyun reassured her.
“It’s okay. I can speak English.”
When she dated Leon in the past, he didn’t know a word of Korean, so they spoke in English. Back then, her pronunciation and grammar were a mess, but after meeting Tae-ha and wanting to see him someday, she worked hard on her English. After over twenty years, she was confident.
“Oh, don’t worry about that. Mr. Leon…”
She stopped talking before saying anything more.
“What?”
“Nothing. You’ll be surprised when you meet him later.”
Shi-hyun chuckled as if it were interesting.
As the thought of meeting Leon alone made her nervous, Su-yeon took a deep breath to calm her trembling heart.
What expression will he make when he sees my face?
Will he be happy? Embarrassed? Or maybe he won’t recognize me at all.
Su-yeon had a reason for wanting to meet Leon alone. If the four of them had dinner together, Taeha would inevitably find out that she was his birth mother. She couldn’t be sure whether Leon would want that.
If he didn’t want it, Su-yeon thought she would keep her mouth shut even in her grave.
[Star Icon]The day when the three of them decided to have dinner at the hotel restaurant to celebrate Shi-hyun’s promotion.
Taeha personally chose Leon’s clothes, paying attention to the details.
“Something fresher would suit you better.”
“This tie would be good.”
However, when Leon noticed that Taeha didn’t plan to change into a new outfit himself, he found it odd.
“What about you?”
“Father, please go downstairs first. I’ll join you soon.”
It seemed suspicious. Looking directly into Taeha’s eyes as he tied the tie, Leon asked.
“Tell me honestly, son. It’s not you and Shi-hyun having dinner together today, is it?”
Taeha’s hands stopped for a moment, and he looked startled.
“What’s going on?”
After hesitating for a while, Taeha finally revealed the truth.
“There was a woman I mentioned before. She’s looking for her son in the United States.”
“Why?”
“I wanted to set her up on a date.”
Leon closed his eyes and sighed. Somehow, he felt something was off, and the purpose turned out to be a blind date.
“I appreciate the thought, but we should cancel dinner tonight.”
Looking at his father untying the tie, Taeha gazed at him with a sad expression.
“How long will you miss Mom and live like this while she’s still alive?”
Your mother isn’t dead.
Those words, reaching down to his throat, Leon swallowed hard. Living with the torment of hope is enough for me alone. He couldn’t bear to inflict the same pain on his son.
“Father, because she’s really a good person, just meet her once, please. Even if it’s just to see my face.”
Taeha spoke as if hanging on desperately. Since there was no sign of him backing off, Leon eventually spoke, mixing truth and falsehood.
“Actually, I have someone I love.”
“Really?”
“We broke up a long time ago due to circumstances, but now I’m looking for that person. No matter how long it takes, I will definitely find her.”
His son looked at his father’s eyes with a hint of recognition, nodding after realizing it wasn’t a lie.
“…I understand.”
Taking off his tie, Leon said, “Go and tell the lady in my place. Please apologize on my behalf.”
[Star Icon]After Taeha left the room, Leon, who had been sitting for a while, came out feeling suffocated. Strolling through the beautifully decorated hotel garden, Leon recalled his last moments with Jung Hee-sun.
Not long after they met, the two soon became lovers. Leon got a part-time job at the restaurant where Hee-sun worked as a waitress and drew pictures while doing the dishes.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
