Chapter 92 - A Mere Mortal

Amus.e.m.e.nt was apparent in Han Minhyun's eyes.

"If he is bullying you, can't you bully him back? After all, he is merely a nine year old," Han Minhyun pointed out casually.

"Even if he is just a mere nine year old, he has powers whilst I am just a mere mortal. Don't you think that's unfair?" Lee Soohyun voiced out whilst raising one of her eyebrows.

"Is that so?" Han Minhyun questioned.

"Then just bear with his bullying," Minhyun added.

"Minhyun-ah, you can't do that. I am supposed to be your wife," Lee Soohyun whined.

"Then come with me to my office," Minhyun said.

Lee Soohyun's eyes sparkled, and she exclaimed, "Really!?"

Staying at this huge mansion with no one to keep her accompanied made Lee Soohyun feel bored and lonely. Moreover, Soohyun found the mansion somewhat scary, and Junghyun was not someone Soohyun wanted cross paths with. Going to his office might give her chances to have fun.

"Get dressed within twenty minutes," Han Minhyun spoke out as he walked towards the direction of the bathroom.

In the midst of the excitement, Lee Soohyun hurriedly got down from the bed, and feeling the sharp pain go through her back, Soohyun immediately regretted her actions. Holding her back, Lee Soohyun winced.

Dressed in a pair of black jeans and dark red shirt, Lee Soohyun got down the stairs. A huge smile played on her face while she walked beside Han Minhyun. As usual, Han Minhyun wore on an impa.s.sive expression.

"Is going to my office that exciting?" Han Minhyun questioned.

Lee Soohyun nodded and voiced out, "Of course it is. There will be lots of people there, and unlike at here, I won't be bored there."

"I'll a.s.sign you with some tasks to do then," Han Minhyun said.

Lee Soohyun's eyes widened, and turning towards Minhyun, she voiced out, "Don't do that, Dear Husband. I am going there to cheer you up and not to work."

'If you want me to work there, it would be better for me to stay at home. No, no, nevermind— Working is better than facing Kim Junghyun. That little boy is too scary.'

"There is no such thing as a free meal." Han Minhyun shrugged his shoulders.

"Who said that I am having a free meal? I warm up your bed and keep you entertained," Soohyun expressed.

"I don't need those. I'll be absolutely fine without them," Han Minhyun stated.

Lee Soohyun clutched on to Han Minhyun's arm and flirted, "Even if you act like that, I know you prefer me this way."

Removing Lee Soohyun's hand away from his, Han Minhyun stated, "I have no other choice but to put up with you."

Lee Soohyun's lips curved up to a smile, and she said, "Finally, someone I can relate to. I have no other choice but to put up with you as well. If I had the choice, I would go after someone cute and obviously polite, just like Jihyun-ssi. He is absolutely adorable."

Stepping on the last stair, Han Minhyun stated, "I'll make sure to remind him of that."

As Han Minhyun was walking towards the dinner table, Soohyun ran after him and caught up to him. Whilst wearing a smile on her face, Soohyun asked, "Can you arrange a date between both of us?"

"No," Minhyun answered.

Stepping in front Han Minhyun, Lee Soohyun raised her head to look at his face, and arching her eyebrows, Soohyun asked, "Minhyun-ssi, could it be that you're jealous?"

Lee Soohyun's lips curved into a mischievous smile, and looking at that, Han Minhyun extended his index finger towards Lee Soohyun, pushing her face away with it. 

"It is hard to find an a.s.sistant as efficient as Seo Jihyun. Just because he finds his boss' wife a creepy pervert, I don't want him to run away," Han Minhyun voiced out.

"Heol! Han Minhyun, no one can beat you when it comes to being mean!" Soohyun exclaimed.

"I am honoured?" 

Saying that, Han Minhyun pulled out his chair and sat down upon it. Lee Soohyun took the seat she sat on yesterday, and looking at the pancakes before her, Soohyun found herself being hungry. Kim Junghyun was not at the table yet.

Han Minhyun did not appear bothered by it and began eating his pancakes. Lee Soohyun decided to do the same as well. As Soohyun was eating her pancakes, she heard footsteps, and looking up, she saw that Kim Junghyun has walked in.

"Good morning!" Lee Soohyun exclaimed in English before going back to eating her delicious pancakes.

"Hope your morning goes bad, Ugly Lady," Junghyun voiced out before sitting down on his chair and digging into the pancakes.

Feeling irritated by the way Junghyun addressed her, Soohyun stared up from the food, and whilst wearing a wide smile on her face, she said, "Eat up, Kim Junghyun, and make sure your stomach is completely full today unless your stomach will be groaning multiple times like it did yesterday."

Thinking about that event, embarra.s.sment filled Kim Junghyun, and looking up, his eyes glared at Lee Soohyun as he opened up his mouth to threateningly speak out, "Ugly Lady, you need to learn to control your mouth or else you won't be liking the consequences."

"Shouldn't I be the one beating you up on how you have no manners when speaking with your elders?" Lee Soohyun questioned whilst raising up one of her eyebrows. Picking up the gla.s.s of orange juice, Soohyun drank a mouthful of it.

"Yah! How are you even older than me? I am forty this year!" Junghyun exclaimed.

Hearing that, Lee Soohyun spurted out the juice inside of her mouth, and some of them landed on the dinner table. Few droplets fell on Kim Junghyun's face as well, and feeling the liquid over his face, immediate disgust was shown on his face.

"YAH! YOU UGLY LADY, WHAT DID YOU JUST DO!?" Kim Junghyun exclaimed. Taking out a handkerchief from his pocket, he wiped his face in order to remove the remnants of the drink.

"W-What did you just say? You are forty!?" Lee Soohyun was still unable to get rid of the shock.
