Chapter 288 - Out of pity (2/2)

A light-hearted expression sat on Han Taeho's fcae whilst the corner of his lips to form a smile. Jinkyung, on the other hand, wore a wide grin on her face as she occasionally giggled.

After she had stood in front of them, the two of them raised their line of sight towards Jinhee, and Jinhee was ready to start the game.

Lee Jinhee could see the surprise on Jinkyung's face, and she could guess that Jinkyung had no idea that Jinhee will be here. This would just make the things better as Jinkyung might have not any prior preparation.

”Jinkyung, it is a surprise seeing you here. Who invited you?” Jinhee vocalised in a sweet tone as she raised one of her eyebrows.

With those words, an unpleasant mood settled within Jinkyung, and Jinkyung was aware that Jinhee was trying to pull her down. However, knowing her current situation, Jinkyung knew that it would not be beneficial to her to say something rude to Jinhee.

Glancing at Han Taeho, Jinhee noticed that he had no type of reaction towards her, and this indicated she could carry out things however she wanted at this moment.

This made Jinhee feel pleased about the entire things, and raising one of her eyebrows, Jinhee waited for an answer from Jinkyung.

Han Taehyun invited Jinkyung in front of Jinhee yesterday, and Jinkyung was well aware that Jinhee was trying to make her fall into a trap. However, Jinkyung had no idea on what it was.

”Brother-in-law did. Didn't you know about it, Jinhee?” Jinkyung voiced out carefully and timidly.

Shaking her head, Jinhee answered, ”Oh really? I had no idea about it. I guess he felt bad for what has been occuring lately. After all, he was the only who helped me with everything.”

Jinhee's words awoke lots of type of reaction upon Jinkyung's face, and Jinhee clearly noticed those before. Nonetheless, Jinkyung tried to maintain composure.

”Seeing your expression, it did not seem you knew about it. It is quite normal for this though. After all, both of us are engaged, and it is normal for this to happen.

But don't worry! Since you are innocent, your brother-in-law will not be treating you unfairly,” Jinhee said, ”After all, he had invited you to this party just out of pity.”

Jinkyung shot Taeho a confused glance, and that action of hers did not escape Jinhee's eyes. Jinhee had an inkling that something worth anticipating for will be happening tonight.

”I will explain things to you later on,” Taeho whispered into Jinkyung's ear.

”Jinkyung, enjoy the food and everything here. Your brother-in-law and I have some important matters to discuss about, so we will have to excuse ourselves. You will fine on your own, right?” Lee Jinhee arched both of her eyebrows.

Jinkyung nodded her head and said, ”Yes, Jinhee. You don't need to worry about me, and thank you for inviting me out of pity, Brother-in-law.”
