Chapter 69 - Isolated And Unneat (1/2)

As the gate in front of them opened, Han Minhyun and Lee Soohyun walked into the compound surrounding the mansion. Dry leaves were on the ground beneath her, and tall trees were present in both sides of hers.

A full moon peeked through the clouds in the sky, and the dim lighting around her was enough for Soohyun to make an outline of the things. Subconsciously, Lee Soohyun moved closer to Han Minhyun, and both of their arms were touching.

”Hubby, aren't you rich? Then, why does this mansion look so isolated and, uhm, unneat?” Soohyun questioned— finding it hard to use proper words to describe the state of the mansion without potentially offending or angering Han Minhyun.

Before Han Minhyun could give an answer to Lee Soohyun, Soohyun stepped on a twig. The twig snapped, producing a noise. Hearing that, Lee Soohyun jumped and held tightly on to Minhyun's hand. Hiding her face into Minhyun's shoulder, Soohyun shivered.

In reality, Soohyun was not as frightened as she pretended to be at this moment. Although she was slightly terrified after hearing the sound, it was not enough for her to hide her face in Minhyun's shoulder or shiver.

Nonetheless, Soohyun decided to act as a delicate girl and hug tightly on to Han Minhyun in order to raise his protective instincts. Han Minhyun started to talk to her more than before, and this must be because her methods were working even though it was slow.

Looking at the girl holding on to her arm, Minhyun wore on a bored expression. If he knew that she was going to be this much of a ha.s.sle, he would have left her behind in the car.

Raising his hand, he pushed her head back and spoke out, ”Keep your distance from me.”

Tears glistened at the corner of her eyes whilst Soohyun looked up at Han Minhyun and spoke out, ”Hubby, I'm scared though to the point I think I'll get a heart attack. Didn't you say that it will bring trouble to you if I die?”

'Good job! Soohyun, you'll probably get called extremely weak after this but at least you'll be able to go back home. Right? He attacked your pride already too many times before and one more time won't matter.'

”Moon Jiwoo, I'm here for a serious matter,” Minhyun spoke out, and that was enough to quieten Soohyun up.

If he was here for an important matter, then what she was doing would be considered annoying, immature, and impolite; Lee Soohyun was aware of that. Therefore, she released herself from him. Standing beside him properly, she treated him like her boss and acted how she was around her boss.

Looking at the calm faced Jiwoo beside him, Minhyun noticed the traces of fear in her eyes. Glad that she had quit with her acts, Minhyun opened the door to the mansion. If he had known that this method would be this effective, he would've used it much earlier. At least Moon Jiwoo knew how to differentiate between serious and light-hearted situations.

As Minhyun walked into the large mansion, Lee Soohyun followed behind him. Surprisingly, everything inside the mansion was neat and well arranged. The light in the mansion was not that bright. Nonetheless, Lee Soohyun could clearly see everything around her.

A large chandelier hung from the ceiling, and it was the only source of light. The room in front of her had light peach coloured walls, and the floor had white marble tiles all over it. Everything inside the mansion was kept simplistic and elegant.

A butler walked towards Han Minhyun, and with a courteous smile on his face, he bowed at Minhyun respectfully. After that, he faced Lee Soohyun and bowed at her.

”Welcome, Master and Mistress,” The butler spoke out.

”Where are the doc.u.ments?” Han Minhyun asked in a nonchalant tone.

Lee Soohyun found herself shivering to the cold breeze, and her hands were beginning to freeze. Her thin coat did very little to protect her from the cold, and inserting her hands into the pocket, Soohyun hoped that this would be over soon.
