Chapter 43 - Forgive me, wife (2/2)

Director Lee laughs. ”So young.”

”You are in your early twenties.” Ki Mi Ran speaks in a cheerful tone. ”It's too early to get married. You should think about Kang Si An's career. He has just begun.”

Kyuri nods at her. ”The future is unknown.”

Kang Si An scans her. She sounds sad for some reason. Is she acting now? She is overdoing it for god's sake.

The meeting ends without any more talk on marriage. He scolds her in the car. She doesn't respond. Frustrated because of her silence, he drops her at her dorm. She doesn't look back at him once.

She comes back to his apartment. She cooks for him every day. She refuses to leave his place. She would even help him practice his lines. At night, she would sleep on his bed. Sometimes, she would leave him without any word.

He leaves for the shoot in another city, happy that she can't follow him there. But, she reappears again. Stabbed on the shoulder. It becomes his worst memory. He stays with her all night. After waking up, she runs away before her family arrives. Strangely, he is not blamed after he tells them her message.

Three days later, she reappears again in her room. She manages to get drugged by Ki Mi Ran. On the way back to the S city, they argue over Li Jun. She is gone again.

He calls her friend, Yoon Mi. He is told that Kyuri is visiting her parents. Kang Si An wonders why she is always going to her parents' home. Is she not serious about studies?

Back at his home, he feels like seeing that annoying girl again. He calls her family who tells him that she is too busy to talk. She must be really angry for leaving her on the road. He texts her number. The message is undelivered because the number doesn't exist.

A week is gone. She reappears again. She resumes visiting him every day on her own. He doesn't stop her this time. He is also busy with the shoot. Sometimes, she would disappear for weeks. Whenever she comes back, she would tell him that she was visiting her parents because they miss her.

”Finding the time crystals will help you?” Li Jun feeds her the meat. The living environment is not suitable for women, but Kyuri doesn't want to go to the capital. General Yu has allowed her to come with them for the hunt for the sacred treasure that the emperor wanted. The fifth prince is also with them with a few other able soldiers.

”It might,” She replies in a low voice. ”Don't think much about it. I am fine like this.”

”I am not fine.” He ċȯċks his head. ”Tell me about it.”

”It might be the sacred treasure that we are looking for.” She scratches her head. ”I am not sure. She told me that the description matches.”

”I know that General Yu is a woman,” He tells her with a smile. ”It was suspicious that she would be interested in this kind of task. Is she also from the future?”

”Yes.” She slaps her forehead. ”Does the prince also knows that she is a woman?”

”Since the day he saved her,” Li Jun tell her truthfully. ”He sent me with General Yu to protect her from her enemies.”

”Aish!” She lets out an exasperated sigh. ”I always found it strange that he would tease my aunt in such like that. So, he already knew. He won't make a bad uncle.”

”The fifth prince has been interested in her for a long time.” It's Li Jun's turn to sigh. ”He is also fine in keeping their relationship in this state. It's hard to guess what he wants.”

”My aunt is regaining her abilities. He body has almost healed on its own,” She scratches her chin. ”Unlike me, she can travel anywhere in time as she wishes. It won't be long now. He should make a move. Otherwise, she will slip away.”

”I will give him a warning.”
