Cheon Dong-hyuk, Chairman of Nartica and Grandfather of Cheonma-ri.
He was in a position where he couldn’t dare approach, and he stared at the two men and women who were running away.
“I’m sorry!!!”
“Gangshi! “Let’s go together!!!”
“… ….”
Gianxian and Cheonmali.
The reason the two ran away was to avoid Cheon Dong-hyuk.
It was an attitude no matter who saw it, and it was an action that could have been unpleasant.
However, Cheon Dong-hyuk only let out a faint laugh.
He smiled softly.
I felt the kindness of an elderly person who has seen something good.
“How can they fit so well together?” … “Of course, Sian will suit you.”
He seemed to remind me of himself from the past.
Just like when he was young and his wife was always with him.
Even though I didn’t want to and there were a lot of difficult things, I was able to get to where I am now because of those difficult things.
Donghyuk Cheon nodded his head slightly, saying, “This is life.”
“Chairman, it seems like Lady Marie and Master Xian ran away…… “Shouldn’t we bring it back?”
“It’s okay. Anyway, I signed the contract and finished all the errands. “Even if you run away, there’s no problem whatsoever.”
“Still… ….”
“Anyway, our manager took as much time as possible. Whatever those two do is fine now. “Cough!”
Cheon Dong-hyuk coughed and waved his hand at the secretary who expressed concern.
The secretary said sorry and took a few steps back.
‘Whoa…’ … Still, I’m glad it wasn’t a rejection.’
If Kang Xian and Cheon Ma Ri knew, it would be enough to cause a fit.
Cheon Dong-hyuk slowly looked back on those memories.

A day ago.
It was just before Kang Xian and Cheon Ma Ri returned to Korea.
Cheon Dong-hyuk left work earlier than usual.
“Driver Kim, please head to the address written here.”
The place he headed was not Daum, but Kang Xian’s house.
To be exact, it was in front of the new house that Kang Xian bought for his aunt.
As much as he visited other people’s homes, he did not go empty-handed.
His secretary took one of the expensive items stocked in the car out of the trunk.
“Sareltea herb. “This will do.”
It wasn’t that expensive.
It was just a matter of politeness, but it wasn’t something that couldn’t be received.
Ding dong~
The bell rang and the door opened.
Kang Xian’s aunt and uncle were shocked when they saw Cheon Dong-hyuk.
“No, what’s going on here…” ….”
“Oh, are you very busy?”
“No. Of course I’m not busy. “Please come in first.”
I sat in the living room.
He gave a car to him and his secretary.
At that time, his secretary handed a gift box to Kang Xian’s uncle.
My uncle looked at the contents and opened his mouth slightly.
“This…” ….”
“Shareltea natural herbal medicine set. “If you drink it in a decoction, it will be good for your health.”
“…… “Are you here because of what you promised before?”
Cheon Dong-hyuk nodded.
Kang Xian’s aunt and uncle sighed, saying that what was coming had come.
“Grandpa Marie, can we ask you one thing before we express our position?”
“Yes, you can ask.”
“Come with our Sian…… “Why are you trying to keep Marie together?”
Kang Xian’s aunt asked.
She continued to show Cheon Dong-hyuk that she couldn’t understand it.
“Because it suits you well.”
“Isn’t the difference in status too big to just say they look good together? We are middle class at best, but you and Marie… ….”
You’re a chaebol, right?
It meant that the difference in economic status was too large.
Of course, that was only from the perspective of both guardians.
Both Cheon Ma-ri and Kang Xian made a lot of money through successful investments, so that was the difference in economic status.
And it was a tragedy for Kang Xian that both guardians only partially knew this.
It was safe to say that it was a kind of undervalued situation.
“But our ‘family’ status is much lower.”
“…… That.”
“You know. That I come from a low class background. On the other hand, that is an influential family, not to mention an elder family.”
“It’s all an old story, right? “Who in today’s world pays close attention to outdated family ranks?”
“Some of the older people are still questioning me. Perhaps because of this, we still often hear the sound of a company with no foundation.”
In any case, the argument was that the differences in status were similar.
Considering that economic status is superior in the present era, it was unreasonable, but Kang Xian’s aunt did not ask any more than that.
“And Xian is smart, right? “She is quite talented as a hunter.”
“The same goes for Marie.”
“Marie is not very talented. “The most important factor for a hunter, personality, is a failure.”
“No… ….”
She was a little embarrassed, as if she didn’t know that she would attack her own relative so openly.
Kang Xian’s aunt tried to refute it, but she couldn’t really refute it.
“You know that too. “How did Sian and Mari become friends?”
“… ….”
It was because there were no words to use in rebuttal.
It was a fact that even the dogs in this neighborhood knew that Cheonmae had a bad personality.
From Noble mtl dot com
“…… “We became friends by talking a little bit.”
“It’s ‘a little’ harsh, that’s right.”
I wonder if I won’t receive any engagement proposals after I become an adult.
At the very least, there should be someone coming in seeking property, but the reality for the Thousand Horses was that there was no such thing.
No one could solve the life of a child living alone in all directions and directions of Heavenly Demon, who did not listen to his guardians.
This was a fact that Cheon Dong-hyuk, who had seen Cheon Ma-ri by his side, knew better than anyone else.
In fact, that was why this event was prepared.
‘This time, we must unconditionally get the two engaged.’
Even if there was a reason to stick around during the academy, it was doubtful whether he would stick around after graduation.
In particular, looking at the intelligence that Kang Xian had shown skepticism several times about officially joining Nartica, this was bound to become a reality.
If two people grow apart, it means that their personality and marriage will go to hell.
There is no chance of her coming to her senses, so she will probably remain a crazy non-marriage forever.
“If you look at how they get along so well even though they were so ‘a little’ blunt, doesn’t that mean they are a very compatible couple?”
“Marie… ….”
“Oh, and I tried to separate them once before.”
As someone who dares to become a guardian, I couldn’t tolerate it.
For the sake of Nartica’s future, I had to sell my granddaughter, who was no better than a human being, to someone.
And there was someone nearby who was suitable for that.
It could be said to be the greatest tragedy of Kang Xian’s life.
“Are you talking about your high school days?”
“Yes, we only separated them for a moment, but the situation quickly got worse…… “It still comes to mind.”
“Even so, marriage is not possible based on their friendship alone…” ….”
“It’s a bit difficult to get someone married based on friendship alone. But what if there is more than just friendship between the two?”
Jiang Xian’s aunt bit her lip slightly.
It seems like the atmosphere that always felt strange has finally been revealed.
“According to a Nartica employee working in Arecibo, they often hug each other or sleep together.”
“Ugh…… Sian…….”
However, this atmosphere was an illusion.
In the first place, we have never had feelings like that for each other before.
140% Purity An acquaintance’s illusion.
The problem is that although it is false, it is an illusion supported by sufficient evidence or reasonable suspicion to be suspicious.
There was no one who would not believe this.
In the end, Kang Xian’s aunt closed her eyes tightly, wondering if the moment had come that she could not refuse no matter how much she refuted it.
While she composed her mind.
Kang Xian’s uncle continued the conversation on his behalf.
“So the reason you came here now…… These two will date sooner or later anyway. “Are you saying you want to get engaged now?”
“You may not be dating anytime soon, but you may already be dating. “First of all, what you said is roughly correct.”
It was nonsense.
It may be possible for them to date, but no information has been received about whether they are dating.
This was a complete lie.
Because of this, Cheon Donghyuk swallowed his groans at the future that would unfold due to his words and actions.
‘Sian, I’m sorry.’
A word from my sad heart.
Actually, the thoughts that followed were not sad at all.
‘But wouldn’t a grandfather also have to die after seeing about 100 great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters? It’s not like I don’t have any abilities anyway. Please take care of our Marie.’
A heartfelt thank you.
It was truly a sincerity that came from the heart.
After a few minutes, Kang Xian’s aunt and uncle accepted reality.
It was the moment when Kang Xian had to bear the bomb of a thousand birds.
“Well, I’m just asking just in case. “You have another fiancé, right?”
“That…… It almost happened in the past, but I repeatedly opposed it, so it was brushed aside. “You don’t have to worry about that.”
Actually, there was one more bomb that I didn’t know about.
This is a secret contract made by Kang Xian’s grandmother, which they do not know or are mistaken about.
Without even knowing that, the two families entered into full-scale negotiations.
This was to adjust any areas that might cause conflict between the two families.
“I plan to put the brakes on Sian when it comes to running the company, even if it means using tricks.”
“We will cover all expenses related to the wedding.”
“The child’s last name is…” … “I don’t think it would really matter if I use the last name Kang.”
I give everything I can.
As long as you are sure of success, it is a profitable business no matter how much you give.
“Then, I will visit you often in the future.”
“No, we have to come see you. “Would it be okay to call the person who is the chairman of a large company like this?”
“It’s okay. Anyway, I am an idle person. “If something like this happens, you should come visit me at any time.”
Cheon Dong-hyuk’s strategy was successful.
The two sacrificed Kang Xian through repeated persuasion and carrots.
“First of all, I have to write a contract, so I will visit again tomorrow after bringing a lawyer.”
The engagement plan was a success.
Cheon Dong-hyuk suppressed his trembling and left Kang Xian’s house.
“Finally, finally, ha… ….”
The air was fresher than usual.
I felt like I had just finished washing dishes.
Now all that’s left is to write the contract the next day.
This was quickly accomplished when Kang Xian and Cheon Ma Ri were captured by Cheon Dong Hyuk’s ex-wife.
Of course, the time when the two childhood friends met Cheon Dong-hyuk was after the worst contract had been written.
Everyone was happy except for those who knew nothing.
It was the realization of utilitarianism.
* * *
An atmosphere where something bad is bound to happen.
Maybe it has already happened.
Anyway, Cheonma-ri and I escaped from that atmosphere.
We headed straight to my aunt’s house.
“Oh my, who is this? “Isn’t it Marie?”
My aunt welcomed us warmly.
Of course, it was no exaggeration to say that the atmosphere inside the house was completely opposite.
Not the feeling of walking on a knife’s edge, but the atmosphere of a friendly small family.
This was the same even though thousands of outsiders came.
“Mari, it’s been a while since I last saw you, so eat a lot.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
As if enjoying this atmosphere, the thousand birds kept wagging their non-existent tails.
It was completely different from the attitude he usually showed towards me.
As always, we were disappointed, dissed, and had various conversations while sitting in the living room.
Time passed in an instant.
It was time to sleep, so we headed to our respective rooms.
Of course, since there was no room left for luggage, Cheonmae ended up sleeping in my room.
Sleeping together between a man and a woman.
It looked a little strange, and my aunt looked at me with a strange look.
But in our relationship, this wasn’t such strange behavior.
In the first place, we always slept together.
If there had been a problem, I wouldn’t have agreed.
So I lay down in the same room as Cheonma-ri.
I was the bed, and Cheonmae was the floor.
I closed my eyes and counted the sheep one by one.
After walking so many times, the sheep was about to lose consciousness.
“Gangshi, are you sleeping now?”
A returner poking my leg.
It seemed like he couldn’t sleep because it was someone else’s house.
“Why?”
“The sample the researcher requested earlier in the morning. “That’s it.”
