Dramatic attacks and counterattacks would be the best defense. Therefore, to safely protect Hyun-woo, she needed to put that into action, and now was the right time to speak about it.

“If you want to, you can do it anytime. I won’t stop you.”

Seo-jun also observed the tense standoff between Eom So-yeon and Yoo Jung-hwa. Although he watched from a distance, hotel guards were strategically placed around, ready to act if necessary. Yet, Eom So-yeon’s strong demeanor had already overwhelmed Yoo Jung-hwa sufficiently.

“Okay. But there’s something we must take care of before that.”

“What is it?”

“Your ears…”

She hoped Yoo Jung-hwa would quickly realize that she would be sitting in the witness stand. As So-yeon explained her reasons and plans step by step in a whisper, Seo-jun stared at her for a while and then burst into a slight laugh.

“Really? Do you think that’s possible again?”

“If you help me, nothing is impossible.”

“I’ll do my best for my son, Tae Seo-jun.”
If she claims to jump into a perilous situation on her own, answering fearlessly without a hint of fear, what should one do with this incredible woman? Seo-jun sighed, mixing it with a chuckle, and said, “It’s not a simple matter, so we’ll talk about that gradually. First, there’s something I want to discuss with Eom So-yeon.”

“What… is it? Did I do something wrong?”

As So-yeon asked with an uneasy gaze, Seo-jun grabbed her waist with his long arms, pulling her towards him in one motion, and said, “The engaged should take care of the son, and you can push the fiancé away.”

“When did I push him away? I just put Hyun-woo to sleep and came to the banquet hall now.”

“But why are you here? If you came, you should have found me first.”

“I tried to. I just came out for a short breath before that.”

So-yeon, who looked pretty, smiled and looked at Seo-jun. No, she looked affectionately at her man.

“Take responsibility. Everyone is dancing in pairs, and I couldn’t because I didn’t have a partner.”

The dignified and beautiful man’s attitude was so cute. So-yeon, playing with Seo-jun’s clothes, asked with a refreshing smile.

“Hehe, you’ve used your favor. I’ll take responsibility. How can I help you?”

“I have a lot to endure. Even if you don’t know about others, interest accumulates severely for Eom So-yeon. Several times more than the time that has passed.”

“Then let me endure it. Even if I become penniless, I’m a happy woman with a fiancé and a child.”

Today, So-yeon seemed excessively beautiful, making it difficult for Seo-jun to resist wanting to hold her every moment. It was the punishment he received for having her as his woman.

“Well, what should I do for you… Hmm!”

Seo-jun suddenly lowered his head without notice.

Between the two lips that met in an instant, hot breaths mixed together.

So-yeon tapped his shoulders lightly with both hands, her eyes smiling. Inside the banquet hall, due to the glass windows reflecting bright light, it was hard to see the darkness outside. However, unaware of that, So-yeon kept staring outside, observing Seo-jun, who seemed to be immersed in her.

The only thing Seo-jun could compromise on for So-yeon was moving his lips towards her earlobe. Not knowing that So-yeon continued to gaze outside through the clear window, she slightly shrank her shoulders and laughed.

“Hehe…”

“Is it ticklish?”

“Yes, and I’m embarrassed in case someone sees us.”

“Isn’t that something a popular actress loved for her romantic acting would say?”

“But that’s acting.”

Facing Seo-jun with large eyes beautifully curved like a half-moon, So-yeon presented a charming smile. Knowing well that she was vulnerable to that smile, Seo-jun, like a fox, seduced So-yeon.

“What if we continue this acting in a room?”

“Just disappear like this? What about the guests?”

Blushing, So-yeon’s pupils sparkled like crystals as she asked in return.

Seo-jun, facing those eyes reddened by embarrassment, flashed a bewitching smile. Well aware of her vulnerability, Seo-jun seduced So-yeon like a fox.
More beautiful than that diamond, it wouldn’t be just a mood that makes her eyes feel more beautiful. She, who enters my pupils perfectly, was undoubtedly the most beautiful and precious thing in the world.

“Then let’s do that later. How about dancing now, my fiancée?”

“Anytime.”

So-yeon, feeling Seo-jun’s polite tone and attitude even sexier, was so thrilled that her heartbeat raced up to the fingertips that touched his shoulders.

Seo-jun, gently wrapping his hand around hers, moved his feet smoothly to the string quartet music coming from the banquet hall.

Then, at some point,

“Oh my, did that hurt? I’m sorry.”

So-yeon’s inexperienced foot stepped on Seo-jun’s foot during the dance.

“Not at all.”

But Seo-jun, instead of stepping back, smiled slightly as he lifted So-yeon’s foot onto his instep.

“Uh, what…?”

“Eom So-yeon, just relax. I’ll take care of the steps.”

So that Eom So-yeon wouldn’t have a hard time, wouldn’t feel pain anymore.

Seo-jun, gently holding So-yeon’s hand against his waist, said softly.

“Hold me tight. I prefer that.”
