Yerin was glad she hadn’t confessed to being the woman in question.
It was never her intention anyway.
Then, Madam Yoon offered another black card.
“You can use this card to buy whatever you want, Secretary Han, and use it for any expenses when meeting that lady. Think of it as taking care of the costs comfortably.”
Madam Yoon handed Yerin one black card and the luxury handbag, then stood up with a relieved expression.
In contrast, Yerin felt as if she was carrying heavy stones in both her hands and heart.
“If Lee Hyun can’t win that woman’s heart, I might die without seeing a daughter-in-law.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
“So, it makes more sense for you, Secretary Han, to have this bag.”
Madam Yoon added that she shouldn’t feel burdened.
Though the bag was certainly not of a no-burden price.
Like mother, like son.
Realizing she was being swept into their wishes, Yerin reluctantly accepted the gifts.
Planning to store the unopened bag at home and return it to Madam Yoon later.
Meanwhile, in Chairman Cha’s study.
Suhyun had left early, citing work at the company.
Normally, Lee Hyun would have headed straight to the office after eating, but today he had a matter to attend to.
“Lee Hyun, drop this unrequited love nonsense immediately.”
Lee Hyun chuckled as if the idea was absurd.
“Why do you do it yourself, Chairman Cha, but tell me not to?”
While you and Madam Yoon live happily together.
Why is it forbidden for me?
Seeing the rebellious look on Lee Hyun’s face, Chairman Cha sighed deeply.
“People’s hearts are the least controllable things.”
“I’m well aware.”
Lee Hyun was no stranger to this fact.
Which is why he was feeling so crazed lately.
“Business results are visible with time investment.”
Chairman Cha looked at Lee Hyun with a deeply wrinkled face.
“But human hearts might not open, no matter how much effort I put in.”
“But eventually, you succeeded, didn’t you?”
“I was lucky.”
“Who’s to say that luck won’t work for me?”
Chairman Cha sighed deeply, looking at the stubborn Lee Hyun.
“Why choose such a hard path?”
Ideally, it would be great if they got along well.
But the chances seemed slim, looking at Lee Hyun now.
“There are many women lined up for you.”
“I don’t want them.”
It was like going in circles.
“Just meet someone in an arranged meeting who meets the conditions.”
Lee Hyun dropped his fork on the table in disbelief.
“Really, Chairman Cha. You had your share of good times, why forbid me?”
“It’s easy to say now. Back then, I went through a lot of heartaches.”
Lee Hyun hesitated at the candid confession.
“I can’t stand to see my son struggle like this. Choose the easier path.”
Chairman Cha’s intention was clear.
He wanted Lee Hyun to have a strategic marriage where the other party was more eager due to his status.
“Even without love, it can develop living together.”
Chairman Cha was about to continue his lecture on strategic marriage, but Lee Hyun cut him off.
“The existing love doesn’t just disappear.”
“…….”
“I don’t want to meet other women.”
Chairman Cha held his forehead as if it was aching.
“Which family’s daughter is it?”
“…….”
“I’ll meet her and persuade her myself.”
At that, Lee Hyun stood up abruptly.
“Enough. Don’t interfere and complicate things. You don’t even understand women’s hearts.”
“I don’t understand? Oh dear.”
“Enough. Don’t try to help and make things more difficult. I can handle it myself.”
Hearing that, Chairman Cha leaned back and laughed.
“Haha, you speak as if you know it all.”
“At least more than you do.”
The gazes of father and son intertwined in the air.
To others, they were father and son, yet there they were, each insisting they were slightly better than the other.
“I’ll take my leave now.”
Feeling that Yerin might be uncomfortable if he stayed too long, Lee Hyun quickly left the study.
“Madam, about this card…”
As Yerin tried to return the card to Madam Yoon, the door to the garden swung open, revealing a familiar face.
“Mother, what are you doing holding up Secretary Han?”
“We were just having tea.”
“I thought I told you not to call people out and make them uncomfortable for no reason.”
“I didn’t bite her, son!”
Madam Yoon looked wronged.
“I wanted to give her a gift, so I called her out.”
It was then that Lee Hyun noticed Yerin, awkwardly holding something in each hand.
“What is this?”
“I bought it initially for my future daughter-in-law.”
At the mention of a daughter-in-law, Lee Hyun’s eyebrows slightly raised.
Wondering if his mother knew something and was testing Yerin, Lee Hyun became anxious.
But he quickly returned to a neutral expression and turned to Madam Yoon.
“Why did you give this to Secretary Han?”
“I just wanted to.”
“I know there’s no ‘just because’ with you, Mother.”
Lee Hyun, standing between Madam Yoon and Yerin, spoke in a soothing baritone.
“What did you ask Secretary Han to do?”
“I asked her to meet and persuade the woman you’re secretly in love with.”
“Why did you do that?”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
