Impure Wedding Night - Chapter 65
Only Noblemtl
#65. What is love?
2024.01.12.
A blind date with Seo-yoon.
Yes, he could have pretended to be fooled and gone once.
However, Lee Hyun knew all too well that Chairman Cha was not the kind of person who would be satisfied with such a simple meeting.
What if a misunderstanding piled up because of one meal, and Ye-rin got hurt because of it?
Just thinking about it made him feel bad.
So if Soo-hyun went to this blind date instead, Lee Hyun would gladly give him some of the stocks he had.
It was a deal worth more than that.
“What do you think? I don’t think it’s a deal that would make you lose money.”
– I’m fine. But I’m really curious, so I’m asking. What on earth is love that makes you go this far?
A gentle smile appeared on Lee Hyun’s lips when he heard that question.
Soo-hyun continued asking questions as if she really didn’t understand.
– It’s because you seem so different from the person I used to know. Wasn’t Ji-seok’s group always your top priority?
“Yes. I didn’t know I would change like this, but it’s only natural for you to think I’m weird.”
– I don’t know if I should be happy or worried.
“You should be nervous.”
– Me? Hahaha.
Soo-hyun laughed out loud, really dumbfounded.
– Lee-hyun, you’re going to throw away the Jiseok Group because you’re into women. Why should I be nervous ?
After hearing that story, Lee-hyun started to correct him.
“Do you remember the conditions that Chairman Cha set?”
– Then. He’ll pass the Jiseok Group on to his son who gets married first.
“Look forward to it. I’ll get married first.”
I definitely intended to do that.
In the past, marriage was necessary to have the Jiseok Group, but not anymore.
I wanted to get married more.
If I got the position of successor to the Jiseok Group in return, then I’d be grateful, but if not, then it didn’t really matter.
I was able to gain a bigger world than what I once thought was my whole world.
– Do you think I’ll just sit still? Anyway, I’m grateful that you gave me a good blind date. I’ll be looking forward to the stocks too.
It was a pretty good call where they exchanged what they wanted.

Seo-yoon got her skin care routine on Saturday morning and went to a makeup shop to get dressed up from head to toe. She
headed to the Italian restaurant at the S Hotel in advance, wearing even an elegant one-piece dress that she doesn’t usually wear.
If it were another man, he would have shown up long after the scheduled time and acted like he was expensive, but since he was the other person, he couldn’t do that today.
If he was even a minute late, Lee Hyun would leave without looking back.
So in order not to give him that excuse, she had no choice but to arrive much earlier than the scheduled time and wait for him.
Seo-yoon sat in the window seat and looked toward the entrance every ten seconds.
“You’re coming today, right?” She
naturally recalled what Assemblyman Kwak had said.
“I heard that Chairman Cha had talked to Director Cha Hyun about having a family meal together. The two of you should meet up and talk naturally.”
Lee Hyun would probably think it was a family meal and come.
Chairman Cha wouldn’t show up, so Lee Hyun would naturally get hit by the wind.
It was a perfect plan, just naturally showing up at that time and asking for a light dinner.
While I was spinning my hope circuit like that,
I saw a handsome face that stood out clearly from afar.
“Wow, you came after all.”
It was so easy to recognize Lee Hyun, who was much taller than everyone else, from afar.
Seo Yoon’s heart started pounding as she watched Lee Hyun, who showed up in a nice suit today, from afar.
Seo Yoon got up from her seat, thinking of naturally passing by Lee Hyun and saying hello.
She took one step, then two steps toward Lee Hyun, but soon she noticed something and stopped in her tracks.
“Why did that X follow me here?”
The one standing blankly next to Lee Hyun was none other than Ye Rin.
Ye Rin must have also spotted Seo Yoon from afar, because the two women’s gazes became dizzyingly intertwined in the air.
In an instant, the air became tense.
***
1 hour ago.
Ye Rin was getting ready to go out, thinking of doing some light grocery shopping and making dinner.
Dingdong-
I went out to the living room at the sound of the doorbell ringing briskly and checked the intercom, and saw Lee Hyun’s face.
“Huh? Chief, did you forget that there’s a family dinner?”
I had definitely told you once more before leaving work yesterday, but it seemed like you had forgotten because you had so many plans.
Yerin hurriedly opened the front door.
Lee Hyun, wearing a nice suit, smiled at Yerin.
“Chief, you have a family dinner today. You should leave now.”
“Oh, didn’t I tell you?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m going to go there with Han Yerin today.”
“Huh?”
Yerin widened her eyes in surprise.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Then Lee Hyun stepped into Yerin’s house so naturally.
“Chief?”
“I’m not here as your boss, but as your boyfriend who you’re going on a date with.”
“No, you clearly told me to clear my schedule on Saturday night. I also confirmed that I would do the same to Chairman Cha’s secretary’s office… …”
Lee Hyun smiled very leisurely as he looked at Yerin’s confused face.
“Tonight’s appointment is not a family gathering.”
“No? Chairman Cha’s secretary’s office definitely contacted me that way.”
“My mother is currently on a trip to Thailand.”
Lee Hyun tilted his head and continued.
“My father is the type of person who would never have a family meal without my mother.”
Yerin looked very puzzled.
“Moreover, I heard that my brother hasn’t contacted me either. Chairman Cha is currently on a golf trip.”
“Huh?”
“I’m also very curious about how they can have a family meal when no family members are present.”
“Then why did they contact me like that…?”
“Why don’t you go to that restaurant with me and find out?”
As she spoke like this, she became even more curious.
Lee Hyun seemed to already know why Chairman Cha lied.
“You have no intention of telling me if I don’t go with you?”
“That’s right.”
“You’re really not going to have a family meal, are you?”
Yerin checked several times so that she wouldn’t become a nuisance who was fooled by Lee Hyun and showed up there.
“No. You can trust me.”
***
Yerin was finally beginning to understand the situation that Lee Hyun had been talking about.
‘Chairman Cha wanted to have Lee Hyun and Kwak Seo-yoon meet alone.’
And Lee Hyun probably knew his intention first and deliberately asked him to accompany him to this place. It was
fortunate that Lee Hyun figured out the situation first and tried not to go to the meeting with Seo-yoon.
However, I wasn’t sure if it was okay for him to come to this place.
Seo-yoon, who had been glaring at me from afar, soon came forward with a smile on her face.
Seo-yoon took her gaze away from Ye-rin and stared at Lee Hyun.
Then she greeted him brightly.
“Oh, did Chief Cha Hyun have an appointment here too?”
“Yes. I came on a date.”
As he said that, Lee Hyun secretly grabbed Ye-rin’s hand.
Ye-rin’s eyelashes fluttered in surprise.
At that moment, Seo-yoon’s mouth twitched.
Soon, she controlled her expression and smiled bashfully.
“Is that so?”
Seo-yoon seemed to be trying to say something more, but Lee Hyun had already turned his gaze away from her.
“Ms. Han Ye-rin, are you hungry?”
“Oh, no… It’s okay.”
“Let’s not stand here and go to our seats.”
When Lee Hyun was about to walk with Ye-rin,
Seo-yoon belatedly started to pretend to know Ye-rin by calling her.
“Ye-rin, it’s so nice to see you here?”
It was absurd to hear Seo-yoon’s voice trying to look as cheerful as possible.
“Are you really dating Lee Hyun?”
Ye-rin slowly turned around because she couldn’t just ignore the question.
Seo-yoon was staring at Ye-rin as if telling her to answer.
“Or are you taking care of your boss on the weekends?”
It was a sarcastic tone.
Ye-rin slowly pulled away from Lee Hyun’s hand, slightly tightening her grip.
“You’re dating, right?”
“… … .”
Seo-yoon and Lee Hyun were startled by Ye-rin’s answer.
Seo-yoon asked again, as if she couldn’t believe what she had heard.
“What?”
“It’s true that you’re dating Lee Hyun.”
“… … .”
Seeing Seo-yoon with her mouth wide open, speechless, Ye-rin looked up at Lee Hyun.
“Lee Hyun, I’m hungry. Should we go eat?”
It meant that she didn’t want to talk to Seo-yoon any more.
Lee Hyun, who understood her feelings perfectly, nodded once and walked with Ye-rin.
Seo-yoon turned her back on her and watched the two people walking away, then sighed deeply.
‘This is an opportunity I somehow earned.’ This
was a place she had created by pestering and harassing Assemblyman Kwak, who found her annoying.
She couldn’t waste time like this without having a proper conversation with Lee Hyun.
Anyway, since Lee Hyun had shown up, it was half a success.
The problem was Ye-rin, who was sticking to him.
She planned to make Ye-rin disappear from this place by pouring water on her or spilling food on her.
Just as Seo-yoon was about to walk away,
a familiar voice was heard from behind her.
“Ms. Kwak Seo-yoon?”
Seo-yoon slowly turned her head, wondering who was calling her name.
Then, Soo-hyun, who had stopped by with Chairman Cha at his gayageum recital last time, was standing there.
He was the man who had offered to set up a blind date for him and even handed him his business card.
“I’m Soo-hyun Cha. I’ve greeted you before, right?”
“Oh, yes.”
Seo-yoon made a nervous expression and gave a brief greeting.
“Why did that person come again today?”
Was this place a hot place today?
As she thought about that, she was about to turn to Lee-hyun again.
Soo-hyun grabbed Seo-yoon once more.
“Didn’t you come here today to set up a blind date?”
