“Virility? What’s that?”

“Why are you asking me? I don’t know either!”

I can’t live like this. In Su-yeon’s ear, as she quickened her steps, Leon whispered softly.

“…If you don’t know, shall I teach you?”

Su-yeon bit her lip.

“I can teach you well… Ugh!”

Suddenly, Leon, who received a strong hit to his chest, let out a groan. Blushing, Su-yeon clenched her fist and started hitting Leon wherever she could.

“Ah! Ouch. That hurts!”

It wasn’t a playful punch but rather one filled with genuine emotions. Even though he got hit, Leon continued to smile, seemingly unaffected. Eventually, Su-yeon, who was doing the hitting, got tired first.

“Are you an idiot? Why do you keep smiling even when I hit you?”

“Because I like you.”

Leon looked at Su-yeon with eyes full of joy.

“You can hit me or call me an idiot, whatever you want to do, it’s okay with me.”

“…….”

“So, you can do anything you want with me.”

Su-yeon was annoyed. After praising him for being cool, it turned out like this.

I shouldn’t have said anything.

Turning her gaze away from Leon, Su-yeon was surprised when she turned around. Si-hyun and Tae-ha were standing side by side, covering their mouths and giggling while looking at them.

“Si-hyun!”

Su-yeon quickly ran over. Instead of her son, who was behind her, she spread her arms and hugged Si-hyun tightly.

“Are you okay? Huh? It must have been tough for you.”

How much emotional distress had she been through? Holding Si-hyun and hugging her tightly, Su-yeon choked back tears.

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t do anything, couldn’t help at all…!”

“I’m fine now. Everything worked out well, so don’t worry, Aunt.”

Ironically, Si-hyun comforted Su-yeon by patting her back.

After a while, the four of them sat facing each other at an empty table in the curry restaurant.

It was the first time the four of them had gathered together. Leon was consistently smiling, while Su-yeon, sitting next to him, looked extremely awkward.

“But Si-hyun, did you get an apology from the daughter of the Chohan Shinmun CEO?”

At Leon’s question, Si-hyun smiled bitterly.

“I never expected an apology in the first place.”

“What?”

Leon’s face turned angrily.

“You haven’t come to your senses yet. Don’t worry, Si-hyun. I’ll scold her properly.”

“Please don’t, mister. I don’t care at all.”

“Isn’t Si-hyun angry?”

“I am. But since I’ve decided to act like I’m not, I’ll stick to it.”

While smiling, Si-hyun looked at Leon, who seemed unable to understand.

“And if it weren’t for Bora, things wouldn’t have gone well with Tae-ha like this.”

Looking at Tae-ha and speaking, Tae-ha grabbed Si-hyun’s hand under the table.

“We’ve decided to get married.”

Looking at Tae-ha’s parents, Tae-ha declared as if making an announcement.

In fact, the news of their marriage had not been officially communicated, and Si-hyun had not accepted Tae-ha’s proposal at that point. The decision to get married was made because of that incident, and this was the first time Si-hyun and Tae-ha had formally talked about getting married to Leon and Su-yeon.

“Congratulations!”

Leon smiled widely, and Su-yeon teared up.

“You did well. You thought really well.”

Although they liked the two very much, thinking of them as Tae-ha’s parents made them nervous. Si-hyun adjusted her posture and looked at the two.

“Mister, Aunt. I am lacking in many ways, but I will make sure to make Tae-ha happy in the future.”

“Where is Si-hyun lacking?”

Su-yeon seriously asked, and Leon, with a serious expression, asked his son.

“Son, can you make Si-hyun happy?”

“I will do my best, risking my life.”

Looking at Tae-ha answering seriously, Leon looked satisfied and asked.

“Okay, when do you plan to have the wedding?”

“After finishing the project we’re currently working on, I was thinking of preparing for it. I’d like to have it before the end of this year if possible.”

“Sure.”

There was no need to delay a decision already made. Nodding towards Tae-ha, Su-yeon looked at Si-hyun and already had a fun expression.
“The guests will be extremely surprised when they see Auntie. They’ll wonder why a young lady in hanbok is sitting in the parents’ seat.”

Su-yeon was surprised and quickly raised her hand.

“Don’t worry about me! What right do I have to sit there when I couldn’t even raise him?”

Although she was a parent who couldn’t raise her child, Su-yeon still thought she and Leon were different.

He might be the chairman of the Grand Hotel, but she was just a restaurant lady. What help could such a mother provide to Tae-ha? It might even embarrass Tae-ha.

However, Leon cut her off, as if asking what she was talking about.

“Of course, you should sit there. You’re the one who gave birth to Tae-ha.”

Si-hyun also looked at Su-yeon, hanging on as if pleading.

“Auntie, you know my parents are not here. We had a falling out with my dad’s house a while ago, and there are really no adults coming to our wedding.”

“Auntie…”

“So, even for my sake, I hope Auntie will guard the parents’ seat at our wedding. Auntie is like my mom.”
