A faint smile hung on the man’s lips.
The other two people who had been following him also stopped in their tracks.
Blinking his eyes a few times, Do Hyeon just grinned at the man with an innocent expression.
“Hello?”
Do Hyeon was a child who was currently very fond of saying hello to anyone he met, kindly and gently.
A deep and calm voice responded to the child’s greeting.
“Hello.”
The man looked down at Do Hyeon, who was staring up at him with an utterly naive expression.
Seeing the child keep looking up at him until his neck seemed to break, he bent his knees to match the child’s eye level.
Then he picked up the paper airplane that had fallen at his feet. When he tossed it into the air, the paper airplane flew off in a long parabola.
“Wow, it flies well! Ha ha ha!”
Do Hyeon burst into laughter and clapped his hands. The sound of the child’s clear laughter made the man’s lips curve into a more pronounced smile.
Such a smile had been a long time coming for him. These days, it seemed like there were no reasons for him to laugh.
As the man made eye contact with the child up close, the child’s black, beadlike eyes sparkled brightly. His chubby, white cheeks looked enticingly soft.
“Sir, it flies well! Do it again! Eh?”
The large, unguarded eyes meeting his gaze made him hesitate. He was about to respond, intending to oblige and throw the airplane once more.
“Do Hyeon, didn’t I tell you not to talk to strangers?”
The adult’s gaze, unlike the child’s, was full of caution and directed at him.
“This man flies the airplane really well!”
Lucas approached Do Hyeon, who was cheerfully boasting about the amazing event, quickly. He then swiftly picked up Do Hyeon, who had been standing next to the stranger.
“What were you talking about with this man, Do Hyeon?”
Lucas asked, holding the child protectively in his arms.
Even though they were inside the heavily secured Songhwa Palace and the water fountain was only a few steps away, seeing the child conversing with a stranger in the blink of an eye made him feel inexplicably guarded.
“Do Hyeon’s airplane hit this man.”
“Did it?”
Only then did Lucas somewhat relax his guard and look at the stranger.
“I’m sorry, my child was rude.”
Despite the protective behaviour of the child’s guardian, the stranger didn’t seem offended. He even showed a calm smile.
“It’s fine. The child is really adorable.”
“Thank you.”
The man looked at the child one more time with a smile in his eyes, as if his words were not empty, then he stepped away.
Do Hyeon, held by Lucas, couldn’t help but watch the tall man walking away with regret in his eyes.
“I wish the man could fly the airplane again…”
“Dad will do it for you.”
While Lucas held Do Hyeon in one arm and picked up the fallen airplane with the other, he glanced again at the group of men who had just passed by.
Were they customers?
Although there were many female members, there were also male customers.
Excluding aesthetic services, the number of male customers was gradually increasing these days.
Especially since the limited service restaurant, which offered rare and various palace dishes of good quality, had quickly become famous.
While he was looking at the party that had disappeared behind the corner with a strange feeling, a melodious voice called him from behind.
“Lucas, what are you looking at?”
When he turned around, Hyun Seo was approaching.
“Nothing, nothing at all.”
“Mom!”
“Do Hyeon, did you have fun with your uncle?”
Hyun Seo asked, taking Do Hyeon, who was reaching out his hand to her, into her arms.
“Yup. I flew an airplane with some man.”
“Did you?”
Seeing Do Hyeon looking unusually excited, Hyun Seo responded with a smile.
“Thanks, Lucas. I have to go now. Have a good meeting.”
Lucas waved at Hyun Seo, who was in a hurry to leave. It was inevitable to feel a bit disappointed for not being able to attend the meeting together.
“Alright. I’ll contact you, Hyun Seo.”
“Huh?”
Lucas, who had just entered the conference room with the Songhwa Palace R&D team leader, widened his eyes in surprise.
The team leader next to him was the first to address the clients who were already in the room.
“Ah, you’re already here. Nice to meet you. This is Lucas Yu, our CEO.”
Lucas looked at the people who were bowing their heads at him. It was the man and his party who had been with Do Hyeon earlier.
Lucas showed surprise as he looked at the man who had flown the airplane with Do Hyeon.
“Hello, we meet again.”
“So, it turns out the father of the child from earlier is CEO Yu.”
The man introduced himself formally to Lucas while handing over his business card.
“I’m Do Ha Chae from SH Cosmetics.”
“It’s nice to meet you. So, the youngest one here is Executive Director Do Ha Chae from SH.”
Lucas shook hands with a smile as he grasped the hand Do Ha offered.
He also exchanged greetings with the other attendees who came with him.
“Please have a seat.”
As they sat at the table, the director of SH Cosmetics’ research institute started the meeting.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
