Impure Wedding Night - Chapter 77
Only Noblemtl
#77. As a woman, not a secretary
2024.02.23.
At that sound, Yerin and Lee Hyun opened their eyes wide.
Yerin asked Lee Hyun with a puzzled expression.
“Is someone coming?”
“No.”
Lee Hyun’s face also showed a puzzled expression.
Lee Hyun, who had only had a short sleep, seemed to have gotten much better than before, as he got out of bed first.
Yerin was at a loss as to who the guest was.
“Let’s check the intercom.”
Yerin followed Lee Hyun as he went out to the living room.
Soon, Lee Hyun checked the face on the intercom and slowly rubbed his eyebrows with his index finger, looking somewhat embarrassed.
“Who is it… … Ah.”
It was someone Yerin knew, Mrs. Yoon.
“You’re the owner?”
“What’s going on? You’ve never come to see me in person since I moved here on my own.”
It was truly regrettable that he had come here today, at this moment, at this hour.
Lee Hyun looked at Mrs. Yoon, who was still waiting for her to open the door, as if he was embarrassed.
“Mr. Lee Hyun, you shouldn’t keep your wife waiting for too long. I’ll be hiding somewhere in the house, so let’s talk.”
When Yerin was about to pack her belongings and move,
Lee Hyun’s soft voice caught her.
“Ms. Han Yerin, you don’t have to hide.”
“Huh?”
“I asked you to buy me some medicine because I was sick. What do you think?”
It was a reasonable excuse.
“I-Is that so?”
If Mrs. Yoon had stayed for too long, she might have been caught hiding for no reason and an awkward situation might have arisen.
However, if she had shown that she was in this house without hiding anything, there was no reason for her to misunderstand.
After getting Yerin’s permission, Lee Hyun pressed the button to allow entry to the first floor entrance.
Yerin hesitated for a moment.
Wouldn’t it be better to just go down to her house?
But on the other hand, he was also curious about how Mrs. Yoon would react to seeing her and Lee Hyun together in broad daylight on the weekend.
Lee Hyun asked a question in a soft voice as he watched Ye Rin worrying.
“Ms. Han Ye Rin, the rumor that we’re dating will soon reach your mother.”
“… … .”
“How about we talk about it today?”
Ye Rin’s eyes fluttered.
Come to think of it, it was clear that since she showed up with Lee Hyun at the KK Foods founding ceremony yesterday, it had been on the lips of people in the political and business world more than once.
So it was only a matter of time before Mrs. Yoon heard the news.
Maybe she had already known and came to see Lee Hyun.
If Mrs. Yoon showed any discomfort about the two of them meeting seriously, it would have been better for her to be rejected before her feelings for Lee Hyun deepened.
The fact that she had decided to end the fake relationship and start a real relationship meant that she was mentally prepared to endure this process as well.
When Yerin slowly nodded, Lee Hyun gently grabbed her hand.
“Just stay by my side.”
His face was filled with determination, as if Lee Hyun would take care of everything.
“But your outfit today isn’t very neat. You should have put on more makeup… … .”
Lee Hyun snickered at Yerin’s worried face.
Then he patted her soft cheek with his index finger.
“You’re still so pretty.”
“… … .”
“I think Mrs. Yoon would think so too.”
The reason he was able to talk about making their relationship public today was because he knew that Mrs. Yoon adored Yerin.
Mrs. Yoon, who had never taken such good care of her secretarial staff before, had changed entirely for Yerin’s sake.
“You don’t have to be nervous.”
Because Mrs. Yoon would probably like it so much.
As Lee Hyun swallowed those words and stared at Yerin, the
doorbell rang again.
Yerin swallowed hard.
It was the first time I met Mrs. Yoon as his woman, not as a secretary serving Lee Hyun.
***
“Oh, there was a secretary there too?”
Mrs. Yoon looked slightly surprised as she entered Lee Hyun’s house.
Then she soon made an apologetic expression.
“I called Lee Hyun first, but he didn’t answer. If he wasn’t home, I was going to leave him at the security office and go… .”
He opened the door, so he thought Lee Hyun was alone.
“If I knew you were with me, I would have come another day.”
Lee Hyun accepted the bundle that Mrs. Yoon had brought with one hand.
“No, it’s good that you came today.”
“I, really?”
He had no intention of interfering with the young man and woman on a date, but he felt sorry for being such an inconsiderate mother.
“I’ll go then, son.”
“Mother, I have something to tell you. Would you like some tea?”
“Tea?”
Mrs. Yoon looked at Yerin, not knowing if that was okay.
Yerin smiled at Mrs. Yoon, dispelling the tension that had been etched across her face.
“Madam, since you came all the way here, please don’t just leave and have a seat.”
“Is that okay?”
“Of course.”
While Lee Hyun went to get the tea, Yerin and Mrs. Yoon sat across from each other at the table.
The awkward atmosphere lasted for a moment.
Lee Hyun placed the tea he had prepared on the table and soon went to sit next to Yerin.
As soon as he sat down, Lee Hyun told her the reason why he had grabbed Mrs. Yoon.
“Mom, I’m dating Han Ye-rin.”
Mrs. Yoon, who was about to drink tea, flinched and put her cup down again.
It was something she already knew, but she couldn’t help but be surprised because she didn’t think Lee Hyun would confess to her so quickly.
Mrs. Yoon soon smiled brightly and looked back and forth between Lee Hyun and Ye-rin.
“Really?”
“Yes. We’re seeing each other seriously.”
Ye-rin put her hands under the table and held them tightly.
She braced herself, thinking that she might get a harsh word from him.
“You look so good together?”
However, the reaction was different from what Ye-rin had expected.
Ye-rin, who had been staring at her teacup, slowly raised her head and saw Mrs. Yoon smiling gently at her.
“Mom, I really liked that secretary from the beginning.”
“… … .”
“I’m glad that our Lee Hyun saw it in your eyes too.”
Ye-rin finally let go of her worries.
Mrs. Yoon’s warm eyes were focused on Ye-rin, as if she wasn’t just saying that because she was in front of Lee Hyun.
“Don’t worry about what other people say and just think about the two of you. Love is something that two people do.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Secretary Han calls me that, so it seems too distant. It’s okay if we call her that when we’re alone.”
When Yerin widened her eyes as if asking what she meant, Mrs. Yoon covered her mouth with one hand and laughed.
“Secretary Han is like my own daughter to me. It’s okay if you call her mother. Hehe.”
When Yerin smiled faintly, Lee Hyun, who had been watching from the side, reluctantly joined in.
“Mom, why do you make people uncomfortable?”
“Oh, really? I’m sorry. I was just trying to make you feel comfortable.”
Yerin straightened her back and quickly waved her hands.
“No. I like it too much.”
“Secretary Han, whenever you’re ready, call me that. Can I call you Yerin-ah in private?”
“Of course.”
The way they looked at each other was filled with warmth.
Mrs. Yoon had no intention of staying for long, so she quickly drank her tea and got up from her seat.
“Then you two have a good date. I’ll go first.”
“Be careful.”
“You don’t have to come out. You won’t have time to date during the week because you’re busy with work. You should be together a little longer on the weekends.”
Mrs. Yoon waved her hand and quickly left the house.
The front door slammed shut, and only then did Yerin let out the breath she had been holding.
“You must have been very nervous. Are you okay?”
“Yes, Lee Hyun. But I’m so glad that your mother said that.”
Lee Hyun smiled at those words.
“Actually, I think my mother already knew everything.”
“Huh?”
Yerin widened her eyes, wondering what he meant.
“She’s really quick-witted. She must have known from the moment I told her at the Jinheonjae breakfast meeting that I had a crush on her.”
“That’s ridiculous.” Yerin covered her mouth with one hand. “No, then you couldn’t have bought that luxury bag that you were going to give to your daughter-in-law… .
” When asked if that was the reason he gave it to me, Lee Hyun snickered and answered, “Haa. If I had lied and not told you today, you would have been disappointed.” “No. Then he would have probably waited for another time.”
Those words made my heart flutter for no reason.
It was a happy moment.
However, there was one thing I couldn’t tell Lee Hyun, so I couldn’t fully enjoy this happiness.
I couldn’t tell him that the woman he had been looking for was me.
I had missed the opportunity, but it felt strange to bring it up now.
Since Lee Hyun hadn’t talked about that woman lately, I thought it would be okay to just let it go.
I had been lying to Lee Hyun all this time, so if I told him now, he might be disappointed.
When I thought about that, I didn’t want to ruin this complete happiness that I had finally found.
In any case, the fact that Lee Hyun had shown interest in me remained unchanged.
“How are you feeling?”
“It’s much better than before, but there’s one thing I regret.”
“What’s that?”
She was thinking of calling Dr. Kim right away if he said something was uncomfortable.
Yerin’s hot breath settled on her ear.
“I want to kiss you so badly right now.”
“… … .”
“I can’t do that because I’m afraid I might catch a cold.”
