“How do you expect me to maintain my dignity and pay for your mother’s hospital bills with such a small amount?”
“Dad, I’ve given you as much as I could.”
“A man, you know? When doing business, you have to meet people and spend money. Think of it as an investment.”
Yerin planned to go inside and get her wallet.
At that moment.
A familiar warmth enveloped her from behind, and a low voice echoed across the rooftop.
“Yerin, it’s still chilly outside. Why are you out here so long?”
Pyeonghun was startled to see the man who had suddenly appeared.
“Who are you?”
Yerin, too, was surprised by Ihyeon, who looked down at her affectionately.
Standing imposingly before her, Pyeonghun was completely cowed by Ihyeon’s overwhelming presence.
Tall, almost 190 cm, with broad shoulders as wide as the Pacific Ocean, Ihyeon wore a suit that even fashion-conscious Pyeonghun could tell was high-end.
Despite the chaotic situation, Ihyeon didn’t blink an eye and confidently spoke his mind, which left Pyeonghun utterly flustered.
“Who are you to be with my daughter at this late hour?”
Ihyeon just stared at Pyeonghun with cold eyes.
Pyeonghun felt frozen, as if he was in a freezer.
“Cough.”
Pyeonghun cleared his throat.
“I am Yerin’s father.”
“I’ve heard your conversation.”
Typically, when one introduces themselves, the other reveals their identity too, but Ihyeon stood still, unblinking.
Pyeonghun squinted his eyes, looking back and forth between Ihyeon and Yerin.
Being together at this late hour meant they were close.
Pyeonghun was surprised that Yerin might be dating such an attractive man.
But trying to hide his surprise, he feigned ignorance and asked again.
“Who are you, to be with my daughter?”
It was the third time he asked.
Waiting anxiously for a response, Pyeonghun tensed up.
“I am.”
Ihyeon glanced briefly at the frozen Yerin and then spoke without hesitation.
“I am Yerin’s boyfriend.”
“Boy… boyfriend?”
Pyeonghun stammered in shock as his suspicion turned to reality.
“Yes, her boyfriend.”
Yerin, utterly astonished, quickly grabbed Ihyeon’s suit sleeve.
What Yerin meant was a signal for Ihyeon to stop, but it seemed to have been misinterpreted.
Taking it as a sign of agreement, Ihyeon entwined his fingers between Yerin’s and held her hand firmly.
“Uh…”
Panicked, Yerin tried desperately to pull her hand away, but Ihyeon didn’t budge.
Pyeonghun kept uttering strange exclamations upon seeing their clasped hands.
“Whoa. Are you really Yerin’s boyfriend?”
“Yes.”
It was a short yet powerful response.
“Hehehe.”
Pyeonghun had so much he wanted to say.
He wanted to ask where she found such a remarkable man, but thought it was a conversation for when they were alone.
Although Ihyeon seemed to come from a wealthy family, Pyeonghun didn’t want to appear too easily accepting as a father.
So, he tried to sound stern.
“Even so, was it appropriate for you two to be alone at home at such a late hour?”
“That’s correct.”
“You know it’s a nuisance to visit at this hour.”
“Of course. Mr. Han must be aware of it, which is why I had to step out like this, feeling slightly upset.”
“….”
Pyeonghun wanted to argue but then shut his mouth.
Ihyeon had addressed him as ‘Mr. Han.’ It was a term Pyeonghun hadn’t heard since his business failure.
His lips quirked up without realizing it, forgetting that Ihyeon might have been sarcastic.
“Hehehe. I was just worried about our Yerin…”
“As you can see, she was very well with me.”
“Ahem. Is that so?”
“Since you’ve checked now, you might want to carefully head back down.”
Ihyeon’s way of conversing was always like this.
He seemed to listen to the other person, but the conclusion always ended up how he wanted it.
If this was a skill, it was indeed an exceptional one.
Even in the conversation with Pyeonghun, Ihyeon had already reached a conclusion.
Pulling Yerin closer by the hand he was holding, Ihyeon spoke.
“Then, we shall return to finishing what we were doing.”
Yerin’s eyes trembled.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
