In terms of family hierarchy, her son, Kyung Ho, was clearly higher, but Kang Hyun always stood tall. On the contrary, Kyung Ho seemed to be subdued in front of Kang Hyun, which made her feel upset more than once.
“Kids underestimate adults’ understanding.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to keep it private? Why are you bothered?”
Ji Man thought it would be better that way. In fact, the existence of Yun was always potentially problematic. Though she was listed in the family register, it seemed like a headache if anyone wanted to look into it thoroughly.
Also, he had already obtained what he wanted from Chairman Cha, so he didn’t care whether the wedding was publicized or not. Thus, he thought it would be okay if the marriage was known a bit late.
Then, Ji Man remembered Yun, whom he had met for the first time in ten years in the waiting room just a while ago. Seeing the wellgrown, beautiful Yun, he thought it was a waste to marry her into Woo Seong Construction.
Her appearance was good, and her academic background was quite impressive.
‘I should have noticed that girl first. She could have married into a better family at her level. She could have aimed for the second of DK Electronics.’
The second of DK Electronics was over forty, and despite his two divorces, it was quite possible for Yun, even if she was an illegitimate child.
‘When the time is right, she could divorce and find another place. So what?’
Ji Man thought it was a good decision to include Yun in the family register.
She was far superior to his other three daughters in every respect. Especially compared to the unruly Yu Jin, the difference was like night and day.
The engagement ceremony of Kang Hyun and Yun began. The engagement ceremony was strictly private, as Kang Hyun had requested.
They didn’t inform the press and held it with only family and close relatives, but this was the moment when Cha Yun Chang and Seo Ji Man were definitively connected through marriage.
Kang Hyun glanced at Yun, who was quietly standing next to him like a wellmannered lady. The two were holding their engagement ceremony today, their second meeting after their formal introduction.
“You’re a school teacher?”
“Yes.”
Kang Hyun was surprised to learn that Yun was not only unemployed but was also a high school Korean language teacher.
“Do teachers behave like this? Did you want to marry into a chaebol family so much?”
“……”
Kang Hyun was as sarcastic as ever today. Yun decided it would be better to keep her mouth shut without any retort.
“Is this an act?”
While cutting the cake together, Kang Hyun held Yun’s small, delicate hand, which was not even half the size of his own, and asked.
“Pardon?”
“Your docile demeanor. It’s suffocating, I hate it. If it’s an act, change it.”
Kang Hyun looked down at her with a calm face and said.
“……”
“Well, it’s better than babbling noisily. Continue to keep it up then.”
Yun had just found out why Kang Hyun agreed to this marriage. He said he especially detests illegitimate children. So Kang Hyun had stepped on a mine on behalf of his brother.
She thought she now understood why he had been so rude at the ceremony. But no matter what, there was no reason for her to be treated like this.
Because this was not a marriage she wanted either.
“Sigh…….”
“Why are you sighing?”
“Am I not allowed to sigh?”
Yun, who had been harassed by this person and that person since morning, was tired too.
“That’s right, behave as you like. There’s no need to act coy since this isn’t a real marriage.”
“I’ve never acted coy.”
“So it is. Teacher.”
Yun was increasingly confused about the person named Kang Hyun.
‘What kind of person is he?’
He was definitely a good person when they met in their childhood.
But now, whether it was because he was marrying her, an illegitimate child whom he despised, or if he was originally like this, he was incredibly rude.
She had often seen in articles about him that he wasn’t a kind person, but she truly hadn’t known that he was such a brash individual.
‘What am I doing here?’
Being in a place where everyone was hostile towards her, she was reminded of her hellish days in her Seongbukdong home ten years ago. She was afraid it felt like she was returning to that lifestyle.
Then, she met eyes with Yoo Jin, who was glaring at her as if he wanted to kill her. Startled, Yun quickly averted her gaze. She began to shiver again.
It seemed as if Yoo Jin was about to rush over at any moment, grab her by the collar, and shake her.
“Cold?”
Looking at Yun, who was shivering, Kang Hyun looked down at her and asked.
“Uh… the air conditioning is too strong.”
While sneaking a glance at Yoo Jin, who was still glaring at her, Yun stammered out a response.
“You’re just too frail. How can a teacher as weak as you educate the kids?”
Despite his words, Kang Hyun seemed to be somewhat bothered by Yun, who appeared to be completely terrified.
“I’m not frail.”
Yun replied a little meekly.
“Do you have some nerve?”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
