Roseanne ran around in the kitchen, assisting Park Jimin. She had thought that she could attract him with her culinary skills.
But she was attracted by his culinary skill instead.
"Need a dish?"
"Are there any vegetables to clean up?"
"Do you need me to prepare ginger..."
"How about garlic? Do you need one?"
This was all she could do, and even these jobs were strongly demanded by her. Otherwise, she could only sit on the sofa watching TV because he didn't let her touch anything in the kitchen.
She came into the kitchen to assist him because she thought she couldn't just do nothing but sit and wait to eat.
During dinner, Park Jimin watched Roseanne tasted the delicious food with relish and said to her, "Some directors of the Education Bureau of Uk and University invited me to dinner this weekend. I tried to reject them, but they insisted on it. Are you going with me?"
"Directors of University? They will know our relationship if I go with you, won't they?"
"They are not your classmates. They will keep it a secret for you even if they know you are Mrs. Park. Don't worry."
"I will think about it..."
"Why? Your principal will take his daughter to this dinner who has just got her master's degree. He has tried several times to introduce his daughter to me. Are you sure you're not going?"
"..."
"Why are you glaring at me?"
"Hubby, why are there so many women who want to date you and hug your big thigh?"
"But I reject them all, don't I?"
"..."
Roseanne chewed the rice in her mouth hard, but suddenly she realized that if she hadn't insisted coming to University, Park Jimin wouldn't have had a chance to meet University's principal and the latter wouldn't have dreamed of introducing his own daughter to him.
So, Park Jimin was to blame because he was too attractive to women!
Tut, how I want to have him all covered up except for a pair of eyes, then he wouldn't attract so many women's attention.
"If I go to that dinner, do I have to introduce myself?"
"Do you think you're a new student?"
"Then what if the principal takes me as a student and drives me away? How should I answer if they ask me who I am?"
"My wife."
"....what?"
Park Jimin glanced at her. "Then what do you think I would take you with me for?"
"You take me to fight three hundred rounds with the principal's daughter?" Roseanne raised her eyebrow. "I have to say you overestimate my ability."
Park Jimin laughed. "The principal just implied he wanted to introduce his daughter to me but didn't say it explicitly. Meeting his daughter won't change anything. I don't think he will force me to date his daughter if he finds out that I'm not interested in her. It's just an ordinary dinner. Mrs. Park, are you too shy to go to that dinner with me?"
"Why should I be shy?"
"Then are you going or not?"
Roseanne put down the bowl and took a breath. "Okay, I'll go. I must go defend my husband, leaving you no chance to cheat on me."
"What?"
"Well, I mean, leave others no chance to covet you!"

It happened to be the time of that dinner when Roseanne's class was over. Professor Jay emphasized to the students that he had something to tend to tonight and told them to call him tomorrow if they had any problem.
So, Professor Jay would go to that dinner tonight too.
Although it was just an ordinary dinner, the directors of the Education Bureau and University would attend it, so they chose a very formal restaurant instead of a noisy nightclub.
When the dinner was going to begin, the principal of the University finally persuaded his daughter to come with him. The directors were all expecting Park Jimin's arrival.
Park Jimin arrived just on time. He came to the restaurant precisely at 7:30 p.m. As soon as he pushed the door, the people in the room all looked at him and then at Roseanne who was behind him. To their surprise, President Park didn't come alone but brought a person with him.
A pretty girl.
She had blonde straight long hair and well-shaped long legs. On her fair, oval-shaped face, there was a pair of almond-like eyes with thick eyelashes. She was slim and wore a leisure dress that had no brand logo but looked fashionable and chic. She was young but didn't look childish and looked wise yet stunningly beautiful.
All men couldn't help glancing at the principal's daughter who was sitting among them as soon as they spotted the girl behind Park Jimin and then rested their eyes on Roseanne.
Under their stares, Roseanne smiled elegantly and calmly. Then she looked around and made eye contact with Professor Jay. She nodded at Professor Jay respectfully. "Hi, Professor Jay!"
Professor Jay's eyelid twitched.
He had early suspected that Roseanne had a special relationship with President Park, but he didn't expect he would take her here today.
The directors of University vaguely remembered that Roseanne Lin was a student of their University. They exchanged glances with each other, wondering why Park Jimin took her here with him.
There was a thirty-something man among the directors of the Education Bureau sitting beside the principal. His eyes lit up when he saw Roseanne. Not looking embarrassed at all under these people's stare, Roseanne elegantly went to sit down at the table with Park Jimin.
That thirty-something man remembered that Roseanne seemed to be Professor Jay's student. He couldn't help looking at her a few more times and asked carefully and politely, "President Park, who is this young lady?"
"My wife, Roseanne Lin," Park Jimin smiled and said without any hesitation.
In an instant, the others in the room all gaped and some directors of University who knew who Roseanne Lin was almost froze.
"Wife?" The principal looked at Roseanne incredulously. "When did you get married, President Park? If my memory serves me right, isn't this Miss Lin a student of Professor Jay at our school?"
"My wife founded a studio in South Korea in her spare time. She thought she lacked management skills, so she made time to study administrative management in Uk," Park Jimin said casually as if talking about something perfectly normal.
But it wasn't normal at all in others' minds.
Mrs. Park, President Park's wife, went to study at University, keeping a low profile and never exposing her identity, and had even become a top student in Professor Jay's class. The whole story was just unimaginable.
At this moment, Roseanne spotted a young girl sitting beside the principal who looked a bit embarrassed right now. It seemed that she was the principal's daughter.
"Hi, Principal. Hi, directors. I did come to University for further education. As my purpose is to study, I didn't tell you about my family background. Professor Jay is an old friend of my father, but he didn't know who my husband was, and I didn't tell him," Roseanne explained and looked at Professor Jay. "You won't blame me, will you, Professor?"
After suddenly being mentioned, Professor Jay laughed. "Of course not. It's my honor that Mrs. Park can be my student, but you really hide your identity well. You are the most low-key student in my class. I never expected that President Park is your... husband."
