The atmosphere between them calmed down considerably, and Han Minhyun"s face was covered by nonchalance again. Lee Soohyun stared out of the window whilst trying to spot something interesting.
Realizing that they were not going in the direction of their home, Lee Soohyun turned her head to face Han Minhyun. His side profile when he was concentrating on driving looked extremely captivating to Soohyun.
The thin red lips of his appeared tempting to Soohyun, and subconsciously, Soohyun licked her own lips. Although cold and expressionless men were not Lee Soohyun"s type, she knew that there was more to Han Minhyun than that side. Spending time with him was not as boring as Lee Soohyun originally thought it would be.
"Stop ogling at me and say what you need," Han Minhyun said.
Lee Soohyun stared at the ground whilst wearing a shy smile on her face. Although she was not actually embarra.s.sed of being caught, she knew that men preferred shy and thin-skinned girls over brazen and thick-skinned ones.
Soohyun coughed, and recalling her true intention for turning towards him, Soohyun asked, "Hubby, are we not going home?"
She then added, "This doesn"t look like the direction towards home."
"No," Minhyun voiced out, "Have to attend a dinner."
"And you"ll be taking me along?" Lee Soohyun pointed to herself.
Lee Soohyun did not expect for Han Minhyun to take her along. The surprise was too much for her to absorb. Could it be that he actually started to grow feelings for her?
"Don"t think too much again. I"m taking you with me so that the deal is more efficient," Han Minhyun said.
Lee Soohyun nodded.
"Of course, You Idiot, did you actually think Han Minhyun would grow feelings for you that easily? You wouldn"t be given a year"s worth of time if that was the case."
"Hubby, I"m nervous about it though," Lee Soohyun stated whilst blinking her eyes multiple times and hoped that the aegyo she did would work on him.
"I"ll take you to more such attendings to build up your courage then. Now that you"re my wife, no matter how you are, the responsibility is mine," Han Minhyun stated.
"With those words and the tone you used, others would think that I"m incapable of doing anything."
As usual, Lee Soohyun lacked the courage to voice out her thoughts to Han Minhyun and stayed quiet about the entire thing. At least, nothing Han Minhyun did crossed her bottom line, and in ways, Han Minhyun, despite his cruel language, had morals when it came to her.
After all, Han Minhyun was a ruthless villain, and the way he was keeping patience with her acts was a surprising matter to Lee Soohyun. There was a reason behind why most turned pale at the mention of Han Minhyun or his presence.
"Hubby, as my husband, if you don"t take care of me, who will?" Lee Soohyun asked cheekily while wearing a smile on her face.
Soohyun had once read an article on how the domineering and cold man preferred docile and vulnerable girls, who gave birth to protective instincts with them.
Han Minhyun gave no reply to Lee Soohyun, and once they drove in front of a restaurant, Minhyun drove his car to the parking lot. Glancing at the restaurant, Lee Soohyun felt amazed at how astonis.h.i.+ng the restaurant was from outside.
Entering into the restaurant, Lee Soohyun put on a polite smile on her face. This was not the first time Lee Soohyun was attending a formal dinner, and, therefore, she was aware of how to maintain herself.
Walking elegantly beside Han Minhyun, Lee Soohyun noticed that their presence attracted many eyes. After all, many still found it hard to believe that the Han Minhyun truly married Jiwoo.
As they came upon a table with four chairs around it, Minhyun stood there. Before she could process what she was doing, Lee Soohyun stepped forward and pulled a chair for Han Minhyun.
Realizing what she did, Lee Soohyun wanted to b.u.mp her head against the wall. She was used to pulling out chairs for her Boss. Since Minhyun had similar face and facial expression, Lee Soohyun involuntarily did it for him.
"You can sit down now, Hubby," Lee Soohyun voiced out awkwardly whilst letting out a nervous chuckle.
Noticing the atmosphere was getting tense, Lee Soohyun gulped. Her actions gave others the impression that Minhyun was treating his wife like his servant, and Lee Soohyun was well aware of that.
Smiling at Han Minhyun, Soohyun added, "Hubby, since you work tirelessly for both of your sake, I decided to do this little thing for you. I hope you don"t mind it."
From the corner of his eyes, Han Minhyun noticed something, and easing down the expression on his face, Minhyun raised his hand. Patting Lee Soohyun"s head, Han Minhyun put on a soft look on his face.
Everyone present there had their eyes widened at Han Minhyun"s actions.
"You don"t need to worry that much about me," Minhyun spoke out as he removed his hand from the top of Soohyun"s head.
Seeing the approaching couple, Lee Soohyun guessed that they were the couple they planned to have the dinner with. The couple looked to be around fifties, and an amiable expression sat on their faces.
Both of them had blond hair and blue eyes. Lee Soohyun had guessed them to be the French couple for whom Han Minhyun actually married her and Moon Jiwoo.
As the couple stood before them, Lee Soohyun put on a gentle smile on her face while Minhyun stared at both of them nonchalantly. The couple wore on a friendly smile on their faces.
Lee Soohyun turned her head towards Han Minhyun. She was confused on whether or not to bow at the couple in front of her. Before when she worked at the Public Relations, Lee Soohyun knew that she had to bow at the people above her in status. However, now she was Han Minhyun"s wife, and therefore, her actions somewhat represented him as well.
The male counterpart of the couple extended his hands towards Han Minhyun, and accepting the hand in front of him, Minhyun shook hands with the man.
"Sit down, Mr. Albert," Han Minhyun spoke out.
