Chapters Chapter 241: There Is No Time For Rest (1/2)
“...Why are you laughing?”
Kang Chul-In asked, his face stiffening.
“What, it’s funny! Kuku…”
“...?”
“How are you so bad at talking like this?”
Lee Chae-Rin asked, still laughing.
“Me?”
“I’ve heard from rumors that Mr. Chul-In was supposed to be good at talking… I’ve heard that you’ve made your opponents grab the back of their necks in anger…”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Lee Chae-Rin continued talking.
“But for someone that’s rumored to be good with their words… to say that you wouldn’t make me starve to death…”
“...”
“Isn’t that a little too lame?”
“It is?”
“Yeah, it is.”
“How so?”
“After all, Mr. Chul-In, you have a lot of money. I’ve heard that your house is super expensive and you have a bunch of super cars, too. Someone like that is saying that they won’t let me starve to death.”
“...”
“And even though you have a lot of places to spend money… for someone like me…”
What came afterwards was something that anyone could guess.
“I bought ten buildings, ten apartments, as well as five villas in Seoul.”
“...So rich.”
Kang Chul-In said, staring at Lee Chae-Rin as if he was jealous.
She was like a noble in Korea.
“Anyway, then…”
Just as Kang Chul-In was about to speak again.
“No.”
Lee Chae-Rin shook her head.
“I only want one thing from you.”
“...?”
“Please, don’t die.”
“...!”
“No matter what happens.”
She spoke, with emotion dripping from her words.
To not die.
That was the only thing that Lee Chae-Rin wanted from Kang Chul-In.
“Looks like little sister has a lot of worries.”
The person who answered wasn’t Kang Chul-In.
“Why are you worrying about that like an idiot?”
“...!”
“You don’t need to worry about things like that. After all, our husband is invincible! That’s a pointless thing to worry about.”
Ninetails spoke, tapping Lee Chae-Rin’s shoulder.
“B-Big sis…”
Lee Chae-Rin was startled.
“...Ninetails.”
Kang Chul-In was also startled.
Why?
Because he also didn’t notice Ninetails approaching, which meant that there was a 100% chance that he had focused too much on Lee Chae-Rin’s words. Thus, he couldn’t concentrate on anything else.
“Don’t tell me… you saw everything?”
“Yeah.”
“...!”
“Huh? Who cares? We’re all family.”
“...Even family doesn’t do that.”
Kang Chul-In said, shutting his eyes tight.
“B-Big sis…”
Lee Chae-Rin blushed.
“It’s fine. Let’s just stay happy with each other~!”
Saying that, Ninetails hugged Lee Chae-Rin. It was quite a touching scene.
I honestly don’t know how to react.
Looking at this, Kang Chul-In was quite moved, but also felt quite guilty at the same time. He started to ask himself whether it was really okay to have multiple wives.
As a South Korean and a man from earth, he had the same struggles as Lee Chae-Rin to accept it.
No.
Kang Chul-In shook his head.
Now that it’s become like this, I’ll try my best.
Since things have come to this, the only thing he could do was take responsibility and try his best.
“Don’t worry.”
Kang Chul-In said, smiling.
“I won’t die. And… the two of you are my wives. I will become a husband that protects my wife, no matter what the circ.u.mstances are.”
It was a promise.
It also meant that Kang Chul-In’s heart was open to them.
“Mr. Chul-In!”
“Husband!”
The two women smiled at Kang Chul-In, before immediately going to hug him.
***
Finally, Park Sun-Ja also fell.
“Mother, please say yes.”
Now that Kang Chul-In had come forth, too, she couldn’t refuse the marriage any longer.
At that moment…!
Park Sun-Ja recalled what the famed monk said to her.
“Looks like you’ll get a daughter-in-law soon.”
“...Daughter-in-law?”
“You’ll know soon. Well then, I’m off. Kuku!”
She had thought that he meant that she would get one daughter-in-law, but it seemed that that wasn’t the case.
“I will live well, mother.”
“Son… do you really have to do this? People will point at you.”
“My life is already in the other world, mother.”
“...!”
“I’m sure that you’ve also guessed that I can’t live ordinarily now.”
“Will you really be alright?”
“Yes.”
“Even though people will speak about you?”
“Those lips that speak about me, and those fingers that point at me... I’m planning on destroying all of those.”
“You’re sure?”
“Yes.”
“Do you have any regrets?”
“No.”
“Well, then…”
Park Sun-Ja continued her words, staring at Lee Chae-Rin and Ninetails that were also sitting down.
Or rather, she tried to, but couldn’t.
“W-What on earth!?”
Park Sun-Ja suddenly fell backwards.
“Mother!”
