“Is that your first thought?”

“It’s true.”

Yerin asked in disbelief.

“No, how could you be the first to think of that?”

Rather, Lee Hyun looked like he didn’t understand.

“Being handsome was more of a disadvantage than a help.”

“What exactly?”

Lee Hyun made a rather serious expression.

“What, mostly? Even when I was good at work, I got less recognition because my handsome face overshadowed it. It was the same with studying.”

The adjective ‘a guy with a handsome face’ was always attached to Lee Hyun’s evaluation.

There were many ridiculous stories about how he benefited from his handsome face rather than being evaluated for his performance at work.

And because of that handsome face, he had seduced unnecessary women until they were sick of him.

When he went to a bar for a quick drink, women would constantly come at him, making it impossible for him to spend time quietly, and it was the same when he went abroad.

Sitting on the beach alone to enjoy his thoughts, women from all over the world would come up to him and talk to him, which was so annoying.

So at one time, Lee Hyun thought that his face was unnecessarily handsome and uncomfortable.

But not anymore.

It seemed like Yerin liked his face.

It was the first time he felt grateful to Chairman Cha and Mrs. Yoon for giving him such a handsome face.

Yerin, who had been listening to Lee Hyun’s story from the side, secretly grabbed his arm.

It was telling him to stop.

“Why?”

“Lee Hyun, I’m just saying this just in case.”

When Yerin motioned for him to come closer, Lee Hyun readily bowed.

“You should never talk about this in front of other people.”

“Are you thinking that I’m unlucky right now, really?”

Yerin awkwardly laughed and avoided answering.

“Wow, I guess so?”

“No. I didn’t think that way. Other people who don’t know you well might think that way.”

Lee Hyun burst into laughter at Yerin’s honest story.

“Yes. “I will definitely remember Han Ye-rin’s advice.”

There was no way I would talk about such trivial things in front of others anyway.

Ye-rin was the first person in my life to reveal my true feelings.

She was also the first person to talk about such trivial things.

She must have worried because she couldn’t possibly know, so Lee Hyun didn’t hate it.

Whatever it was, he felt good just having Ye-rin’s attention on him.

“Now that we’ve taken our pictures, shall we go home?”

“Sure.”

Living in the same villa was good in many ways.

The best efficiency was that one person didn’t have to waste time on the road to pick the other up.

However, living in the same villa was also not good in some ways.

The fact that the other person was right above and below them disturbed their deep sleep.

It was dangerous in many ways.

“Dad, talk to me.”

Seo-yoon waited for Assemblyman Kwak until late at night.

Assemblyman Kwak, who returned home tired after finishing his schedule, sat on the living room sofa with a look of annoyance on his face.

“I’m tired, so just get to the point.”

“When will you set up the blind date with Chief Cha Yi-hyun?”

“Oh, that.” He

had been so busy lately that he had momentarily forgotten about the blind date between Seo-yoon and Lee Hyun.

“It’s too late now, but I’ll call Chairman Cha tomorrow.”

As if he thought the conversation was over, Assemblyman Kwak immediately got up.

Seo-yoon gently grabbed Assemblyman Kwak’s arm and urged him once more.

“No matter what happens, you’ll set up the blind date, right?”

Assemblyman Kwak let out a short sigh, annoyed by Seo-yoon repeating the same thing.

“I hope you do well this time without making any mistakes.”

“I will.”

“I hope you’re not a daughter who only disappoints.”

With that, Assemblyman Kwak tugged on his tie and went straight into the study.

Seo-yoon stuck out her lips at the sound of the door closing.

Strictly speaking, no one had

ever said a single warm word to him. Seo-yoon, who lost her mother when she was young, had only Assemblyman Kwak as her family.

Congressman Kwak is known to be a doting father, but in reality, he doesn’t talk to Seo-yoon unless it’s something necessary, like he did a little while ago.

Whenever he calls Seo-yoon to talk, he usually nags her to behave properly.

Even after the recent gayageum concert, Assemblyman Kwak never once said anything in passing about how much she had worked hard. He

just kept listing the things that were lacking and things that needed to be improved in the future.

“Even someone as lacking as Han Ye-rin is praised and living… …”

Thinking about that made her tear up for no reason.

Seo-yoon hurried to her room.

When she went to the same high school as Ye-rin, Seo-yoon was always jealous of her, even though she didn’t show

it. No matter what Ye-rin did, her mother would praise her for the smallest things and shower her with love.

It was obvious to see that Seo-yoon was living much better on the outside, but when you look inside, the love that Ye-rin received was incomparably lacking.

That’s why Seo-yoon had hated Ye-rin since long ago. The

reason she started stealing Ye-rin’s boyfriends one by one was because of that misguided jealousy.

However, she doesn’t regret it.

The pleasure of seeing the love of the men who had always been directed at Yerin shift to me was unforgettable. The

only regret I had was that I had seduced Heejun and made him break up with Yerin.

Because of that, I ended up getting in the way of her having Lee Hyun.

“In the end, I will be the one standing next to Chaehyun, just like always.”

Seoyoon kept repeating those words to herself to suppress her anxious heart.

“Director, I got a call from Chairman Cha’s secretary’s office asking me to clear all of your schedule for Saturday night this week.”

Lee Hyun furrowed his brows as he listened to Yerin’s report.

“Does that mean I have to clear all of Saturday night?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“The reason is.”

“He said he wanted to have a family meal.”

Lee Hyun still looked uncomfortable at Chairman Cha’s unilateral request.

“How should we proceed?”

“Let’s clear it out for now.”

“I understand.”

Lee Hyun pondered for a moment, wondering if there was something wrong, and then asked.

“Where is the place?”

Yerin checked the information she had received in advance once more.

“It’s an Italian restaurant in the S Hotel.”

“It’s an Italian restaurant. First, tell them that you’ll be there.”

“Yes, chief.”

After confirming that Yerin had left, Lee Hyun tapped his desk with his index finger and thought for a moment.

Chairman Cha usually preferred breakfast meetings.

So it wasn’t common for him to ask for a weekend dinner.

Except for the day he went to see Seo Yoon’s ridiculous gayageum performance, he rarely had family gatherings on the weekend.

And Chairman Cha loved Korean food more than anyone else.

For such a man to suddenly ask to meet at an Italian restaurant? There

were more than one or two things that were strange.

“No way.”

When his thoughts reached that point, Lee Hyun didn’t think any further and made a phone call.

After a few rings, Soo Hyun answered.

“Can I talk?”

-Uh. Short. What’s going on with you? I’ll call first.

“Hyung, I heard you’re having a family dinner this Saturday night. “Did you get it?”

– No.

Lee Hyun let out a snicker at Soo Hyun’s firm yet concise answer.

– He asked his secretary to check, but she said she hadn’t heard anything about it.

“Of course. There won’t be a family dinner that day.”

– What are you talking about?

Lee Hyun leaned back deeply in his chair and closed his eyes tightly.

The reason Chairman Cha contacted me only to say that there was a family gathering was so clear.

He must have meant that he was going to go on that blind date that he had firmly rejected so many times.

He was such a consistent person.

Lee Hyun had that trait in spades.

“Hyung, if you don’t have plans this Saturday night, can you do me one favor?”

– Please?

“Do you remember when we went to see a gayageum concert before?”

– Oh, that noise pollution?

Lee Hyun couldn’t hold back laughter at Soo Hyun’s perfectly appropriate expression.

– Why are you laughing? How would you describe that performance?

“That’s right. It seems like Chairman Cha is trying to set me up on a blind date with that woman again.”

– Really?

“Can you go out and buy me a meal? I saw you were quite receptive to that blind date before.”

– Yes, you were. I don’t care who it is, as long as I get married.

I could hear them muttering on the other end of the phone, as if they were checking their schedules one more time.

– The schedule was empty that day. What would I gain by leaving that dinner?

In fact, Soo-hyun didn’t mind meeting Seo-yoon.

Since it wasn’t a marriage based on love anyway, Soo-hyun didn’t care who the other person was.

If they could just coordinate their opinions well with the other person on the blind date and hold the wedding earlier than Lee-hyun, he would be chosen as the successor to the Ji-seok Group, so it was a very good deal.

However, since this was the first time Lee-hyun had asked me for a favor, I wanted to get as much out of him as possible.

“I’ll give you some of the Ji-seok Group stocks.”

– Are you serious?

“Oh, then.”

Soo-hyun was quite surprised and didn’t say anything for a moment.

– If you give me some of the stocks you own, won’t you regret it later?

Of course, it could be a problem when it comes to the succession process.

However, that didn’t matter to Lee-hyun at all.

Lee-hyun continued the call with an indifferent expression.

“It doesn’t matter. “There’s something more precious to me now than the Jiseok Group.”

Stocks can be traded whenever the opportunity arises.

However, I’ve recently come to realize that there are things that cannot be bought with money whenever you want.

Precious relationships, precious people, and that person’s heart.

Those things aren’t things that I can buy just because I want them or invest a lot of money.

“That’s why I plan to protect them.”

There was no wavering in Lee Hyun’s eyes as he said those words.
