No, he left saying he wanted to run some errands, but his destination was here…?

I was a little taken aback by the unexpected appearance of Dangsoso, but I still had to do what I had to do.

“Nice to meet you, Chairman. Although I am lacking in one way or another, I am meeting Miss Dangsoso here on the premise of marriage.”

Needless to say, that was why he showed off his unique way of greeting the middle-aged man who was looking at me with narrowed eyes, making every elderly person he encountered gasp and give me the name of Jochiwon’s murderer of the elderly.

A greeting method in which you bend your waist exactly 90 degrees and show the top of your head to the other person.

As soon as he showed off the greeting method that made every senior he encountered exclaim, “You’re being polite,” the eyes of Dang So-so, who was also sitting in the chairman’s office, turned round.

A reaction as if I had witnessed something incredible.

I was internally aggrieved by the party’s response.

Well, from the party’s point of view, you might be wondering why on earth he behaves like that.

The guy who always behaved recklessly and thought he would do so in front of others suddenly became impatient.

The effect of completely changing my attitude was so clear that even Dangsoso, who knew me well, was surprised.

Unlike the information he received through reports and such, I was very friendly from the first meeting, so maybe the first impression itself wasn’t that bad.

The facial expression of the middle-aged man who used to be strict, solemn, and serious has softened slightly.

“I know that much.”

“Still, I told you because I thought it would be polite to tell you directly.”

After all, wasn’t that what you called me here for at least half of the time?

Instead of saying those words out loud, I took the approach of saying them in my voice, but my polite but not servile attitude narrowly came within the passing mark.

A slight smile appeared on the face of a middle-aged man who was sitting at a large desk in front of him and looking at me and the party office in turn.

After seeing that, Dang Soso’s expression darkened slightly for some reason.

“If the person concerned thinks so, then it is correct. Oh, my introduction was late. They say I’m a candidate.”

While Tang Xiaoxiao’s expression darkened, the middle-aged man’s name was revealed.

Party, etc.

That was the name of the man who was the current chairman and head of the Sacheon Group.

“As you may already know… this is Yoon Soo-hyun.”

“So, you learned martial arts, right?”

“Yes? Ah, yes.”

“May I ask what the recluse’s name is?”

No, they suddenly start a household census at this time…?

Well, this is correct for a meeting…

Even so, I was a little taken aback because I didn’t expect him to come in like this right after he finished his statement.

It was even more so because it was a body that did not have a proper name.

“It is not a place with a special name worth mentioning. The master who taught me martial arts also said that.”

So, I chose to make a fuss about it in a hurry…

“Hmm, is that so? Isn’t there some other reason?”

The nuance of what came back as an answer was somewhat strange.

“For example, it is because he originally belonged to a faction that was hostile to our party…”

I was tilting my head to the side without realizing it, but in the meantime, what I heard was none other than that.

“Yes? Me?”

“I’m sorry for doubting you in this way, but you were caught in circumstances that made me doubt you.”

And the moment I heard everything that followed those words… I realized.

When I accepted Mo Yong-cheol’s invitation, thinking it was an event arranged by the party, someone was watching me.

“This is a photo taken by a friend working in the secretary’s office. Would you like to take a look at it?”

Sure enough, what was spread out on the desk along with those words… were photos taken of me over time.

From a photo of me getting into a car with suspiciously dark tint to a photo of me from behind entering a building.

Just by looking at the contents of the photo, it looks like there’s something going on.

“So, why did you meet Mo Yong Se-ju?”

I internally swallowed the complaint.

“I asked why you met with Mo Yong Segaju.”

Does this mean that they will not tolerate flimsy excuses?

It was truly a stubborn attitude.

Perhaps because of this, Suhyeon’s face suddenly became stiff.

That was why I reflexively bit my lip.

When I think about it… it was a really strange thing.

What was strange was that her heart itself was like that right now.

If, in other words, it was true that Su-hyeon belonged to a sect or family that was secretly hostile to the Tang family, then this would certainly not be a bad thing for her.

Of course, even if Soo-hyeon was really a spy for another force, she would be evaluated as not having a good eye for people, but it was still better than spreading information about the family and company to a spy belonging to another force.

So, it’s definitely not a bad situation for her… but why is she so nervous?

Why is my throat burning so much?

Are you afraid that your father, the group’s chairman and the current head of the family, will judge you as a poor bitch who doesn’t know how to see through people at that age?

Is that why I feel so anxious?

That was the first thing that came to my mind, but I quickly shook my head.

It’s been a long time since I gave up on impressing my family.

Of course, apart from giving up, there may have been some lingering regrets left inside of her… but even so, I didn’t think her heart would be disturbed this much because it was clear that it wouldn’t last long.

If so… why?

Why am I feeling this way at this moment?

Although she muttered to herself as if she didn’t understand, she actually already knew the answer.

Why am I shaking so much?

‘···no.’

She had been certain ever since ‘that incident’ when she was young.

In her future life, she will never fall in love with someone or give her heart to someone else.

I was sure it would be like that, but how did it end up like this?

When did I allow that man to enter my heart like this?

Even so, in the end it is only a relationship based on a contract…

Nothing more or less than that…

How much time did you spend together?

What was the lunch box he made and brought to me, telling me not to skip meals and eat it regularly?

What is that warmth coming from the arms that tightly embrace the body… that changes a person like this?

I muttered as if I couldn’t understand it, but that wasn’t my true intention.

The time we spent together was enjoyable.

It was the first time that the house, which had always been quiet and lonely, was so noisy.

The lunch box he made and brought to me, telling me not to starve just because it was annoying… was delicious.

For her, eating was just an act to survive, but thanks to this, it was the first time in a long time that she felt ‘delicious.’

And lastly… the sense of restraint and warmth coming from the arms tightly embracing my body… was warm.

I was used to being alone all the time, so I didn’t even know how lonely and lonely it was, but thanks to this, I learned how precious and warm the warmth that blooms between people is.

Now that I know about them, I want to go back to a life where those things don’t exist…?

If this is going to be the case, let me know from the beginning.

Let me tell you that such a thing exists or not.

If that were the case, I wouldn’t have felt this way.

What can I do?

Now that I know it, I can no longer go back to the way it was before.

To be exact… I didn’t want to do that.

“That…!”

That was why I opened my mouth with the intention of defending him on behalf of Soo-hyeon, who had been keeping her mouth shut with a stiff face as if she had nothing to say…

Come on…♥️

A hand reached out without a word and stopped her actions.

The moment she reflexively stopped, the hand that was holding her hand patted the back of her hand.

Does this mean… it’s okay so don’t worry and just leave it to me for now?

It seemed like that when I saw him looking back at some point.

···Is it okay?

Because of the situation, I thought that way, but… I decided to believe it.

If she doesn’t trust Soo-hyeon, he will have to fight a lonely fight alone without anyone to trust him.

The fact that I gave a little strength to the hand that was holding me as a way to tell him to do well was actually an action with that meaning in mind…

Fortunately, her intentions were safely conveyed to the other person.

“Still, I have something to say about this.”

With a small swallowing sound, Suhyun opened her mouth and began to speak.
