“Don’t get married.”
Avoiding her injured hand, he firmly held her wrist, looking deeply into Si Hyun’s eyes.
“Listen to me. Don’t do it, that marriage.”
Si Hyun was so startled that she lost her words for a while.
“Do you think marriage is a kid’s play? To cancel it over this trifle.”
Surely, she was upset and hurt by today’s events. Thinking of how to get along with this kind of inlaws in the future made everything seem dark. However, she had no thoughts of canceling the wedding.
“Do you love that man?”
Si Hyun answered without hesitation.
“Because I love him, I’m marrying him.”
They had been together for 6 years. Even though the excitement from the early stages of their relationship was almost gone, she thought that the camaraderie and comfort built up over a long time were also forms of love.
But Tae Ha asked mercilessly.
“Do you like a man who would leave your hand in such a state on your birthday?”
“It was his mother. He didn’t know because he was in the room.”
It was half a lie. Woo Jin didn’t see Si Hyun touching the chili powder with her bare hands, but he definitely saw her not knowing what to do because her hand hurt after. And yet, he said nothing.
Tae Ha’s face grew angrier.
“Are you okay with someone who will be your motherinlaw bossing you around even before marriage?”
“All inlaws are like that. Where is a daughterlike daughterinlaw? Everyone who will become my seniors are doing the same thing.”
But Tae Ha spat out.
“Stop talking nonsense, and stop it before it gets bigger.”
She felt hurt. Since the topic of marriage came up, she thought about Tae Ha a lot.
The thought of Tae Ha not being at my wedding was unbearable. That’s why she went as far as hiring a private investigator to find him.
She thought that Tae Ha would congratulate her more than anyone else, but even after regaining his memory, he told her not to marry.
“Is that what you should say? You can’t even congratulate me!”
“So, I should just watch you marrying that trash?”
“Yoon Tae Ha!”
Si Hyun raised her voice in anger.
“He’s going to be your brotherinlaw. What are you saying?”
Tae Ha’s voice grew louder too. As if he was frustrated, he ruffled his hair and sharply retorted.
“That guy can’t protect you. Don’t you see it?”
“Don’t you know Woo Jin?”
“How could he not know when your hand is in such a state!”
“Do not get married.”
Avoiding her sore hand, he tightly grasped her wrist, gazing closely into Si Hyun’s eyes.
“Listen to me. Don’t do it, that marriage.”
Surprised, Si Hyun was at a loss for words for a while.
“Do you think marriage is a child’s play? To ruin it over this.”
She was clearly angry and hurt due to today’s events. How was she supposed to live with this kind of inlaw family from now on? The thought made everything seem bleak. However, she had no intention whatsoever to call off the marriage.
“Do you love that man?”
Si Hyun answered without hesitation.
“I’m marrying because I love him.”
They had been together for 6 years. Although the initial thrill of dating had almost faded away, Si Hyun believed the sense of duty and comfort accumulated over the long relationship was also a form of love.
However, Tae Ha questioned her relentlessly.
“Do you like a man who would let your hands become like this on your birthday?”
“My motherinlaw did that. You wouldn’t know because you were in the room.”
It was partly a lie. Woo Jin didn’t see the moment when Si Hyun touched the chili powder with her bare hands, but he definitely saw her not knowing what to do because her hands hurt afterwards. He saw it and yet, he didn’t say a word.
Tae Ha’s face became even angrier.
“Do you mean to tell me it’s not a big deal that the woman to be your motherinlaw has been exploiting you even before the marriage?”
“All motherinlaws are like that. Where can you find a daughterinlaw who’s treated like a real daughter? Even those above us have all been treated the same way.”
However, Tae Ha spat out his words.
“Don’t be foolish, stop it before things get bigger.”
She felt a sudden pang of sorrow. She started thinking about Tae Ha frequently since the marriage talk began in earnest.
The thought of not having Tae Ha at her wedding was so empty that she couldn’t bear it. So much so that she even thought of hiring a private detective to find him.
She thought Tae Ha would congratulate her more than anyone else, but the first thing he says after getting his memory back is to not get married.
“Is that all you have to say? You can’t even congratulate me!”
“You want me to watch you marry such a piece of trash?”
“Yun Tae Ha!”
Si Hyun raised her voice in anger.
“He’s going to be your brotherinlaw. How can you say such a thing?”
Tae Ha’s voice rose as well. He ruffled his hair as if frustrated, and sharply rebuked.
“That jerk can’t protect you. Can’t you see that?”
“Maybe you didn’t notice?”
“How could he not notice when your hands are in that state!”
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.”
