“…….”
While sipping his tea, Myung Woo observed Jae Heon, who was smiling at his screen.
‘That look in his eyes… It’s eerily similar to the one my father had when he was courting my mother.’
What if Jae Heon truly holds feelings for the companion he brought today?
Of course, Myung Woo hoped for Jae Heon’s happiness. How wonderful it would be if, like his parents, he could be with someone he genuinely loved rather than through an arranged marriage.
However, the current situation was far from ideal. If Jae Heon made a single mistake, Hwe Myung would pounce, revealing his fangs.
“Uncle.”
“Huh? Yes?”
Caught off guard by Jae Heon’s sudden call, Myung Woo managed an awkward smile.
“Can you package all the products used in today’s course for me?”
“All of them?”
“Yes.”
“Why? You’ve always taken only the products you liked before.”
“I guess they all seemed good this time. So, I’d like to try them at home too.”
If Jae Heon truly has feelings for Ra Jin, what should one do?
One can’t push her to him. Nor can one recklessly pull them apart.
‘I’ve never seen Jae Heon like that before.’
Seeing Jae Heon’s gentle expression for the first time since his parents’ death, Myung Woo couldn’t help but be lost in thought.
“Sir, is there a problem?”
“Hm? Oh, no. I got it. Make sure everything’s packed without missing out on anything.”
“Yes. I should get going now. Someone’s waiting for me.”
“Alright. Come back again. There’s no place as safe as here, after all.”
“You’ll keep it a secret from grandfather, right?”
Myung Woo, who had been deep in thought, responded.
“For now, yes.”
“I trust you. Take care.”
With a light smile, Jae Heon left the office.
After seeing him off, the alone Myung Woo murmured with a face full of turmoil.
“I probably shouldn’t tell the chairman for a while… right?”
Ra Jin, sitting upright on the lounge sofa, lifted her head at the sound of the door slightly opening.
“Mr. Jae Heon?”
He was holding a large box in his hands.
“What’s that?”
“Oh, this.”
He approached and placed the box on the table.
“Today’s products that Ra Jin used.”
“You… why did you buy them?”
“You said they were good.”
Ra Jin’s eyes widened.
“You bought all these products just because of that?”
“They smell nice and are relaxing.”
“No, I mean… yes, but…”
Seeing her lost for words, Jae Heon tilted his head.
“Don’t you like them?”
“No, it’s not that.”
Biting her lip momentarily, Ra Jin spoke cautiously.
“It’s just a bit overwhelming.”
“Why?”
Because, the facilities here and, having received a massage using those products, they seem to be quite expensive. In fact, they surely must be incredibly pricey. Hadn’t the masseuse said so?
“Wow. The rose scents I’ve been around all this time seem fake in comparison. These are truly wonderful.”
“They’re like fresh flowers, right? They are carefully selected from the highest-quality products. Many of them can’t be acquired without going through special channels.”
And if he bought so many just because he liked them, it would naturally be overwhelming.
But how to explain this feeling to Jae Heon? If he wanted something, he would have immediately gotten as much as he wanted, just like now.
As Ra Jin was lost in thought, a soft chuckle reached her ears.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Why do you feel overwhelmed?”
“Well…”
“It’s for my use.”
…Huh? Ra Jin blinked in confusion, staring at him.
“You have good taste. You’ve matched my preferences well. So, I trusted your reviews and wanted to purchase them. Is that not allowed?”
What did he just say? So, he didn’t buy it because of me… but for his own use?
Seeing her understanding, and her face turning bright red, Jae Heon couldn’t hold back his laughter any longer.
“Anyone would have misunderstood the way you said it, thinking you bought it because of me!”
“Ha, yeah, right. I phrased it to make it misleading.”
“Don’t laugh!”
“Okay.”
Even while saying so, the amusement didn’t leave Jae Heon’s face.
Biting her lip in embarrassment and fluttering her eyelashes, she looked incredibly cute.
‘She’s like a kitten tricked by a toy, throwing a fit.’
Jae Heon remembered a video played for him during a business meeting break by another company, to clear their heads.
A kitten played with a mouse toy, tapping it. But when the toy suddenly darted away with a loud noise, the kitten jumped in surprise, looking just like her.
Ah, he shouldn’t keep laughing. Ra Jin will surely be more upset, but he also wanted to see that reaction.
“I’m leaving.”
Ra Jin briskly walked past him towards the door. From her retreating figure, there was a strong vibe of ‘if you tease more, deal with it yourself.’
He probably shouldn’t tease her more today. Carrying the box, Jae Heon followed her, a smile still on his lips.
“Ra Jin.”
“…….”
“Did you get upset?”
Ha. What does this man really take people for?
“I’m not upset, okay?”
“It doesn’t seem that way.”
“I’m not.”
“It seems like you are.”
Feeling utterly embarrassed, Jae Heon kept poking and prodding at her feelings. Just as Ra Jin, with a flustered face, tried to retort,
Smack!
A soft, endearing friction sound echoed.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
