The scratches on Soohyun"s face had healed really fast considering that it has not even been a day, and only light marks remained upon her face that was gradually fading. 

Entering into the Moon Mansion, Soohyun stared at the surroundings. This was her second time being in this mansion, and her first time here was quite eventful.

Staring around the mansion, she realized that the damages from that day was fixed, which did not surprise Soohyun. After all, when money is involved, such things are possible.

Standing in front of her was Moon Jimin"s parents— Moon Seungmin and Moon Ahyoung— and Jimin herself. All of them had a polite smile upon their face whilst they bowed towards him.

Soohyun found it funny how three of them were treating him with respect and was docile towards him despite him being the one responsible for their current problems.

"Aigoo! Being the one with power is really awesome. Han Minhyun, since I am your wife, can I abuse it?" Soohyun whispered to Minhyun after leaning closer to him.

"Your wish," Minhyun mumbled.

A bright look appeared in her eyes. She did not expect for Han Minhyun to utter such words. Telling her to not create any trouble or no was more of what she expected.

Walking towards Han Minhyun with a smike on his lips, Moon Seungmin vocalised, "Mr. Han, it"s nice to see that you have made it here. Did you have any kind of problems coming here?"

Seungmin extended his hand towards Han Minhyun, and skeptically looking down at Seungmin"s hand, Minhyun shook hands with him.

"Minhyun, wow! I didn"t think you"d accept his hand," Soohyun mumbled, "This is suspicious."

Han Minhyun shot her a glance, showing that he had heard her words just as she had intended and expected. Nevertheless, Moon Seungmin, Ahyoung, and Jiwoo did not.led.

Han Minhyun shot a glance towards Lee Soohyun, indicating that he had exactly heard what she had vocalised just as she had expected. Nevertheless, Moon Seungmin, Ahyoung, and Jimin remained clueless about it.

After they had released each other"s hands, Soohyun brought her face in front of Minhyun, and whilst curving her lips upward, she exclaimed, "I am here as well, Father!"

Then, returning back to her position, Soohyun wore a pout on her face— trying to act cute— and crossed her arms over her chest.

She then said, "Father, I am sad that you have greeted Minhyun before me once again. Did you not miss me as much as him again?"

Seeing Jiwoo act like that, the polite smile on Seungmin"s, Ahyoung"s, and Jimin"s face almost cracked. What had happened with Moon Jiwoo to behave like this?

As much as they had recalled, Moon Jiwoo did not like Seungmin, and it was vice versa. Did she do this to make him seem bad in front of Han Minhyun?

Turning towards Lee Soohyun whilst wearing a smiling expression— which he was trying to maintain with difficulty— Moon Seungmin voiced out, "What are you talking about, Dear? Certainly I missed you. It"s just that seeing Mr. Han here made me nervous; I hope you could understand."

"Ah! So, that"s the case, Father! You"re scared of him," Soohyun vocalised with an understanding nod.

Then, she added, "It"s funny to see how a father-in-law is afraid of his son-in-law."

Noticing how everyone was staring at her now, Soohyun shook her hand in front of her and voiced out, "Don"t mind me. I was just voicing my thoughts out loud."

"Mr. Han, if you don"t mind, do come in, and same for you too, Jiwoo-ah. Your mother and sister was talking about meeting you the other day," Seungmin said.

Although Seungmin particularly did not fancy this daughter of his, now considering her position, he knew that he had to treat her with utmost respect or else he might fall into more troubles.

"Which mother, Father?" Soohyun asked with innocence being present within her tone.

A type of awkwardness was visible in the air, and Soohyun could feel that Seungmin was very close to glaring at her. 

Before Seungmin could give her an answer, Soohyun vocalised, "Oh! Right! Where is mom? I mean, my birth mother. I was expecting to see her, but I don"t see her around."

"Explode, explode, explode," Soohyun repeated inside her mind. As Minhyun wasn"t stopping herself from doing so, Soohyun deemed that there was no problems with what she was doing.

Realizing how her father began to grow angered, Jimin stepped forward. After all, she did not want her father to show any signs of rage and ruin all the prospects.

Moon Jiwoo"s relations.h.i.+p with her mother wasn"t that stable, and she did not pay any respect to her mother. It was fair to say that Jiwoo preferred to avoid her mother.

Therefore, seeing her ask for her mother was definitely suspicious to the Moon Family, and they deemed reason to be because Jiwoo wanted to humiliate them.

Nevertheless, they have prepared hard for this and was not going to let someone like Moon Jiwoo destroy things for them. 

Placing her palm on Soohyun"s shoulder, Jimin curved up the corner of her lips and said, "As they are discussing about business, do you want to come up with me? After all, you were never interested in business."

"No," Soohyun straightforwardly answered. 

If she went with Jimin, she was well aware that Jimin will be pouring thousands of questions at her, and if truth was to be addressed, she was in no mood for that.

Most importantly, she was to see what Minhyun and Jimin"s parents would be discussing about. That was the main reason why she came to her after all.

Seeing Jimin"s shocked face, Soohyun simply smiled at her, and moving closer to Minhyun, she hugged his arm tightly. 

"Sorry, Unnie, as much as I want to spend time with you, Minhyun gets really worried about me," Soohyun voiced out whilst staring down at the ground.

Then, loosening her hold on Han Minhyun"s hand, Lee Soohyun brought herself near to Moon Jimin, and leaning closer to her ear, she— using a concerned tone— whispered, "When Minhyun gets worried, things doesn"t turn to be the best."
