Impure Wedding Night - Chapter 76



Only Noblemtl

#76. Sick Man
2024.02.20.

Thinking about that, Soo-ji shook her head as if it was her own business.

“There are only two sons in the Jiseok Group. If you go and act cute and earn points, Director Cha Hyun might like you too.”

Soo-ji’s advice made sense.

“Shall we try that, really?”

“Go ahead. If you pretend not to know me after becoming the daughter-in-law of the Jiseok Group, I’ll be really upset.”

“Oh, of course I won’t.”

Soo-ji handed over a few places that Mrs. Yoon frequently visited to Seo-yoon.

“What did you want this time to give me this information?”

“I don’t have anything you want right now.”

“Right now?”

“Think of it as an investment for the future. After becoming the daughter-in-law of the Jiseok Group, please take good care of my father’s company.”

At those words, Seo-yoon smiled brightly as if she had already become the daughter-in-law of the Jiseok Group.

“Of course. If this plan works this time, I’ll repay the favor right away.”

“Good.”

It was the night when Seo-yoon, who never gave up, began another challenge.

Even though the sun was high in the sky and it was lunchtime, Ye-rin’s phone was silent.

It was even more strange because Lee Hyun would send her a message as soon as she woke up on a typical weekend.

“You don’t have any plans today.”

Ye-rin opened the refrigerator while thinking that he was reviewing documents.

“There’s nothing to eat.”

Since there were no food ingredients in the refrigerator, Ye-rin quickly got ready to go out and headed to a nearby mart.

She wandered around alone and stopped for a moment, lost in thought.

“Should I ask the manager what he wants to eat?”

Since she was going to make her own lunch anyway, it seemed okay to make a little more and bring it to Lee Hyun.

There were such good things about living in the houses above and below.

“Okay, I’ll ask first and if he doesn’t answer, I’ll just go and do my own shopping.”

Ye-rin started typing a message in a hurry.

[Lee Hyun, is there anything you want to eat?]

After sending that message, Ye-rin walked around the mart alone a few times, but there was no answer.

“Are you very busy?”

Normally, she would have thought that and let it go, but there was one reason why she couldn’t.

Last night, Lee Hyun jumped into the pool to save her.

“No way.”

There was no way something could happen so late, but Yerin’s heart started beating very fast when she thought about it. She

quickly put the cart she was pulling away and started running home.

“Hohoho.”

Mrs. Yoon kept smiling while sitting on the terrace, sipping tea. She

had been in this state ever since she received a call from her close friend, the CEO of Queens M.

“Our Lee Hyun takes all the girls there.”

Even though she was close with the CEO of a famous dress shop, she had never been to Queens M except to borrow Mrs. Yoon’s own dress to attend events.

People say that they wait for years to get a wedding dress from Queens M, but that had nothing to do with Mrs. Yoon.

If only Lee Hyun had a partner, she could have gotten all the dresses from Queens M right away, but she was secretly upset because Lee Hyun seemed to have no intention of getting married.

The laughter continued at the fact that Lee Hyun had personally contacted Queens M to make a reservation and even brought a woman to have the dress made.

Of course, it would have been better if the dress had been a wedding dress, but it seemed like it would happen soon.

“If he’s taking her to such a big event, it must mean that it’s a really serious relationship, right?”

The rumor that Lee Hyun had brought a woman to the KK Foods founding anniversary ceremony spread quickly among the wives of the conglomerates, and it naturally reached Mrs. Yoon’s ears.

As she listened to the woman’s description, she had already guessed that it was Yerin, just as she had expected.

“It’s the weekend, so she’s not going on a date and just working, is she?”

Although Lee Hyun had changed since meeting Yerin, Mrs. Yoon began to feel anxious, wondering if work was still the top priority.

“I’ll have to call a secretary and have her prepare some side dishes so that she can eat something delicious.”

Mrs. Yoon put down the tea that was still halfway through and hurriedly headed to the kitchen.

***

Entering the villa, Yerin pressed the button for the floor where Lee Hyun lived, not her own, and took a deep breath.

The elevator, which usually seemed to be fast, seemed to be going up very slowly.

With a ding- sound, the elevator stopped at the floor where Lee Hyun lived.

Yerin quickly got out of the elevator and pressed the doorbell.

There was no response from inside until the doorbell sounded.

Yerin called Lee Hyun’s cell phone, but he didn’t answer this time either. Yerin

, who was getting anxious, had no choice but to start pressing the door lock password

for Lee Hyun’s house. She hoped that Lee Hyun wasn’t home because something urgent had come up at work.

She knew full well that he wouldn’t have contacted her, even though she didn’t.

When she opened the front door, Lee Hyun’s shoes were neatly placed. They were

in the same condition as they were last night before Yerin left his house.

“Lee Hyun?”

Yerin called his name as she entered the house.

She opened the study first, but it was so clean that there were no signs of use.

Thinking that he might have been sleeping in, Yerin hurried to the bedroom.

Knock-knock, she called his name once more.

“Lee Hyun, it’s me. Are you here?”

Fortunately, she felt someone inside.

“I’ll go in.”

Yerin carefully turned the doorknob and opened the door, and Lee Hyun was lying on the bed.

Hearing Yerin coming in, Lee Hyun slowly opened his eyelids only then.

Yerin was startled when he got closer.

Unlike his usual cheerful self, cold sweat was dripping down Lee Hyun’s forehead.

“Lee Hyun!”

Yerin urgently stretched out her arm and placed it on Lee Hyun’s forehead.

Yerin’s eyes widened significantly at the high body temperature she felt as soon as her hand touched him.

“Are you okay?”

“Han Yerin… …”

The hushed voice spoke of Lee Hyun’s condition. He

had already taken off his suit after getting soaked by the cocktail Seo Yoon had sprayed him last night, and it seemed he had caught a cold because he jumped into the water.

“I’ll call Dr. Kim.”

Just as he was about to make a call, Lee Hyun’s arm suddenly thrust itself in front of his face.

“It’s not that bad.”

“No.”

However, Lee Hyun slowly shook his head.

“I had some cold medicine at home, so I took it.”

“When did you take it?”

“A little while ago?”

Lee Hyun weakly snickered.

Yerin sat on his bed as if worried.

“Did you take the fever reducer?”

Lee Hyun slowly nodded.

“I’ll wait a bit and call Dr. Kim if the fever doesn’t go down.”

“Okay.”

The fact that the man who always showed his perfect appearance was sick made her feel strangely uneasy.

It felt like it was her fault that he had caught a cold.

Yerin stared at Lee Hyun’s face without saying anything.

Lee Hyun gently grabbed her hand and opened his lips.

“Let me guess what Han Yerin is thinking right now.”

“Yes, what do you think I’m thinking?”

“You’re blaming me for catching a cold because of you?”

“… … .”

“See. That’s right.”

Yerin slowly bit her lower lip because she could read her mind like a ghost.

“It’s true, right? If I hadn’t fallen into the water yesterday, the chief wouldn’t have gone into the pool… … .”

“It already happened, so don’t blame yourself for it.”

“I will. “Please stay here for a moment.”

Yerin came out because she thought she should at least check her temperature.

She opened a few cabinets in the living room and luckily found a thermometer there.

When she took it and went into the room, Lee Hyun was leaning against the headboard, looking more relaxed than before.

“Lee Hyun, I’m going to take your temperature.”

He obediently gave her one ear.

After putting the thermometer in her ear and holding it for a moment, a warning sound rang out.

“It’s 37.6 degrees. It’s better to call Dr. Kim now…”

Yerin couldn’t finish her sentence because Lee Hyun gently grabbed her arm, which was holding the thermometer.

“A fever like that will go down quickly.”

Lee Hyun took the thermometer from Yerin’s hand as if nothing had happened, and moved to the side of the bed.

“Do you want to sit here?”

Even the muffled voice was truly captivating.

Without knowing what was going on, Yerin sat down next to Lee Hyun.

He was a man who usually felt his body temperature was high, but today, he had a fever, so it felt like there was a warm heat emanating from next to him.

“Lee Hyun, if you were sick, you should have contacted me first.”

Lee Hyun let out another small laugh at that, as if he was so happy about something.

“I’m afraid I might pass the cold on to Han Ye-rin.”

“What is that?”

Yerin stuck out her lips as if it was nonsense.

“Should I make you some simple porridge?”

“No. Right now, I just want to be with Han Yerin.”

Lee Hyun asked with his eyes as if he could do that.

“Okay. But if you get hungry, please let me know.”

“Okay, I will.”

Lee Hyun leaned his head against the headboard, perhaps because the medicine he had taken before Yerin came was starting to take effect.

He tried to fight off his drooping eyelids, but it was no use.

“Lee Hyun, if you’re sleepy, you can sleep. I’ll wait outside.”

As he was about to get up to leave the room so she could sleep comfortably,

Lee Hyun grabbed Yerin’s hand once more.

“Will you leave when I fall asleep?”

Yerin nodded at his earnest, low voice and climbed back onto the bed.

And soon after, Lee Hyun fell asleep in an uncomfortable position, leaning against the headboard.

Yerin confirmed that his face was shaking and stretched out her arms.

Only after she had Lee Hyun lean on her shoulder did she feel relieved.

She vowed that if she watched like this and the fever didn’t go down, she would definitely call Dr. Kim.

Yerin had been running so fast, wondering if something had happened to Lee Hyun, that she was starting to feel tired quickly.

As her drowsy eyelids were about to close,

the doorbell rang out of nowhere, “Dingdong”, echoing throughout the house.
