Chapter 44 (1/2)
“Lady Yeon, I think you’ve met someone you know. Can we ask for an introduction? Somehow… I think they are people we should be close to.”
Seomun Jae Hak was very unhappy, but he said it without expressing it.
Now, as well as Seomun jae hak, Gu Yang su, and Chu Young hak were looking at Byeoktaesan and the group one by one.
The warriors of their families lined up behind them.
Although it was considerable prestige, it did not affect anyone in Byeoktaesan’s group.
Yeon Ha-rin became slightly anxious.
If they had decided to attack them, getting Byeoktaesan seemed like it would be easy work.
The Seomun household, Gu Yang household, and the Chu household were all very powerful families.
While contemplating how Yeon Ha-rin would answer for a moment, Seomun Jae-hak looked straight at Byeoktaesan.
“Are you the person named Byeoktaesan, the former fiancé of Lady Yeon?”
Byeoktaesan tilted his head at the question of Seomunjaehak.
“Previous?”
Byeoktaesan asked, looking at Yeon ha rin.
“Did we ever call off our engagement?”
Yeon Ha-rin shook her head fiercely in amazement.
“Of course not!”
Byeoktaesan actually did want to call off the engagement. But Yeon Ha-rin refused to the end and endured.
When she met Byeoktaesan at the Yeon household last time, he wouldn’t know how much she expected.
Byeoktaesan’s health has improved remarkably. So, there was hope that maybe it could be cured.
But why would she call off the engagement? Things were getting better than before.
Byeoktaesan nodded and looked at Seomunjaehak.
“So she says?”
Seomunjaehak’s eyebrows wriggled. He became very uncomfortable. But he couldn’t show it.
But then, the women behind Byeoktaesan suddenly caught his eye.
They were Danyoung, Chaewol, and Soso.
Seomunjaehak’s eyes widened. They were such beautiful women. Except for Soso, of course.
Although it was clearly inferior to Yeon-Ha-Rin, they were proudly shining their own beauty even with Yeon-Ha-Rin.
He has experienced countless times how great that is.
Because most beauties lost their light when they go anywhere near Yeon ha rin.
In fact, Seomunjaehak wasn’t the only one reacting that way. Gu Yang-su, Chu Young-hak, and their guards all had similar expressions behind him.
“Anyway, we met by chance, but you are still my fiancé. So what do you think about staying at our hostel with us?”
At Byeoktaesan’s words, Yeon Ha-rin nodded without hesitation.
Even if he told her not to come, she would have begged, but he invited her so politely, so why wouldn’t she go?
“You are going straight to your accommodations right?”
Yeon Ha-rin asked as she stuck next to Byeoktaesan.
She couldn’t even dare to hold hands or cross their arms, but it was good enough to stand side by side like this.
Byeoktaesan glanced at Yeonha-rin.
Then Yeon Ha-rin raised her head and looked at Byeoktaesan with her twinkling eyes.
“What? Is there something on my face?”
“I was just curious.”
“Huh?”
He glanced at the three men who were looking back and forth from the place where Byeoktaesan was a little far away.
“Aren’t their families pretty famous?”
“Why is the family important?”
Byeoktaesan didn’t say any more, but turned his head back and looked ahead. Then he moved slowly.
“Let’s go.”
At the word of Byeoktaesan, the group started moving together.
‘Why is this kid trying so hard for me?’
A sudden curiosity sparked in Byeoktaesan.
In the past, he didn’t care because he wasn’t very interested, but it was a question that naturally developed as he started getting interested.
If he thought about it, there wasn’t really anything between them other than being engaged with each other at a young age.
‘Did something happen when they were young?’
For now, he couldn’t think of anything other than that possibility.
Anyway, he told himself he can find out about that later, slowly. If he got more curious, he can just ask directly.
For now, he chose to do what he felt like doing.
When Byeoktaesan began to move with Yeon ha-rin, Seomunjaehak and other people stared at the sight.
“What are you going to do?”
Seomunjaehak laughed at Gu Yang su’s question.
“What do you mean what am I going to do? We should get a hostel too.”
Then Chu Young Hak said in a slightly urgent voice.
“So what are we doing standing here? We should follow quickly.”
Shouldn’t they have the same accommodation? Or at least find a lodging nearby.
“Let us plan slowly as we go.”
The first person to move was Seomunjaehak. He did not hide his unpleasant expression.
‘So she was capable of making that kind of expression huh?’
As soon as Yeon Ha-rin met Byeoktaesan, so she showed a smile that she had never shown before.
It was really annoying. Yet, on the other hand, his heart trembled. It was such a beautiful smile.
The other two were also not very different from Seomunjaehak.
They stepped slowly and looked ahead.
He saw Yeon Ha-rin and Byeoktaesan first. That irritated them.
Then Dan-young and Chae-wol caught his eyes.
“Somehow… I feel like I found a treasure.”
Gu Yang-su and Chu Young-hak nodded at Seomunjaehak’s word muttered under his breath.
* * *
Yeon Ha-rin stood in front of the hostel and opened her eyes wide.
She didn’t know there would be such a great hostel in Jingzhou.
She had never seen this kind of hostel even in Wuhan.
“I didn’t know there would be a hostel of this caliber here. There aren’t hostels like this even in Wuhan.”
There was a signboard called Geumwol hostel, and even the letters on the signboard were very elegant.
Probably not written by ordinary people.
“Looking at the name, it looks like a hostel who has a relationship with the Geumwol merchants.”
It was understandable to some extent if it was a hostel owned by the Geumwol merchants.
“This is the place the Geumwol merchants care about a lot in Jingzhou.”
Chun Chu Shin-ui said as if he was proud of his insight.
As the gaze was focused, he continued the explanation with a slightly arrogant expression.
“The Geumwol merchants are said to be the closest to being the best merchants in the world, so they are very peculiar. They even have three different martial arts guilds serving them.”
Everyone couldn’t hide their interested expressions.
