Yeonhee’s voice, dropping from her lips, was firmer than usual.
“It seems like you’re trying to hastily marry off our daughter just because she has a child, but I cannot allow that!”
Why not understand that marrying the person you love is the stepping stone to happiness?
However, Joyeonhee played the opposition card because it involved the dream her daughter had diligently cultivated. Even though it was just for a brief moment, Eum Soyeon’s hesitation in responding, albeit briefly, was noticeable to her mother.
Just by looking into her eyes, one could see how much trust and love Yeonhee’s daughter had for Taeseojun. Yet, she hesitated, and there could be only one reason for that.
It might be because she wanted to gain recognition as an actress on her own, without riding on Taeseojun’s dominant fame and image. Rushing into marriage would mean giving up on that aspect, so she must have considered that dilemma.
From the moment of marriage, one would be absorbed into a large shadow, and while it’s acceptable if she likes it, Yeonhee, worrying about her daughter’s future, presented a suitable blueprint for everyone.
“Taeseojun has already succeeded as an actor, but Soyeon has just begun to bloom. It seems like now is not the time for marriage but to further pave the way she’s currently on. Therefore, I’d like to express my opposition to immediately marrying them off.”
To Yeonhee’s precise words that penetrated her feelings, Soyeon, emotionally moved, once again had teardrops welling up in her red eyes.
“From a young age, she has been thoughtful, knowing what is more important and precious. So, my child’s priority was the child over her dream. Thus, I hope you can at least give Soyeon time to establish herself as an actress.”
“Your words make sense.”
Upon hearing the conversation, Eunhyuk, who had only thought of Seojun and Hyunwoo, felt somewhat embarrassed for not considering Soyeon’s future. He cautiously opened his mouth.
“Originally, it would be better for people directly involved to discuss such matters. In that sense, can I talk separately with Mrs. Jo?”
Having sought everyone’s understanding, Yeojin stood up from the sofa, and Yeonhee, agreeing with Mrs. Cha’s intentions, asked Professor Eum to take care of the remaining people.
“Ah, please go ahead. Then, Chairman, be with the kids.”
Entering the guest room where the Chairman’s couple stayed, the two ladies lowered themselves onto the chairs next to the bedside table.
“We were short-sighted, Mrs. Jo.”
“No, if I were in Mrs. Cha’s position, I wouldn’t have thought of it either. That’s why I took the liberty to mention it.”
“How about we do it this way? Since we have Hyunwoo, and the two kids seem to get along well, let the three of them live together for now, and we can have a proper wedding ceremony later.”
“That’s what I suggested. You really know well, Mrs. Cha.”
Perhaps because of the kids who would soon get married, Yeonjin and Yeonhee shared more affectionate details about their children in a warmer tone.
And it was right before leaving that room.
“How much you must have suffered taking care of Hyunwoo all this time. During the days here, whenever I thought about it, I felt so embarrassed that I didn’t know how to repay you. So, as a gesture of apology and to signify becoming a son-in-law, I prepared this. I hope you like it.”
On the table, Yeojin presented a pendant watch necklace, which was not only expensive but also rare and hard to find due to its high rarity.
“Oh my, this is…!”
With jewels intricately embedded in a heart shape, it sparkled beautifully, making Yeonhee’s eyes widen involuntarily.
“Time holds a lot of meaning, fair to everyone. And as the seconds tick away, aren’t we all living in the same time? Past, present, and even the future. I heard that Mrs. Jo collects watches, so I thought it would be nice if you could give me one that isn’t too expensive. I’ll treasure it as a token of our shared time.”
In other words, it meant exchanging the time they had raised their children with love as parents.
“So, did you prepare this precious thing for me?”
My goodness, how can someone be so thoughtful…
“Aigoo, Mrs. Cha, there’s something suitable for you. I’m not sure if you’ll like it, but I’ll bring it right away.”
Moved even more by Yeojin’s attitude, which was more heartfelt than a jewel-encrusted watch, Yeonhee hastily went to the bedroom and brought back a pendant watch similar to the received gift. It was a precious item with a harmonious blend of ruby red and peridot green, creating a uniquely elegant appearance.
“Since what Mrs. Jo gave is so valuable, I’m not sure if it’s okay for me to give this, but…”
“No, if you give me such a precious item, then I… I really appreciate it, Mrs. Jo.”
With their relationship deepening, Yeojin and Yeonhee left the room, and in the living room, they began to coordinate an appropriate time for the marriage with the people present.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
