Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 24(You're What I Want)

It had still been winter when Jisoo first arrived at Layover to start working one month ago. And Taehyung had only just retired from the military.

Standing to the west of Lin City was the Luyuan Nursing Home, covered in a wintry landscape. Leaves on the trees behind the river had withered, and the water was chilly.

Lee Hyukjun, the chairman of Layover, was staying in a house behind the river. It was sunny, and care workers and secretaries moved him to the grassland. Under the sunshine, Lee Hyukjun was drinking a hot cup of tea.

After a short while, the guest the old man was expecting arrived.

The young man took off his military uniform. Even in casual outfits, he was still more strapping than others. His long silhouette cast itself on the luxuriantly green hill.

“Father.” He stood in front of Lee Hyukjun’s wheelchair. Though already a grown man, he was still silent like when he was young, a calm and sophisticated stare on his face. Even his own father, who had been in the corporate world for decades, couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

His father became a little sentimental, patted the bench beside him and said, “Sit.”

After exchanging pleasantries, His father learned that he had retired from the military, and had convinced his grandfather, who held a high position in the military, to allow him to go to the corporate world. Lee Hyukjun’s heart leaped with joy.

As for Taehyung, he asked the secretaries and care workers about his father’s health. After affirmatives that his father was in good shape, he just nodded his head without expressing much emotion.

His father was old after all. When a person got old, he got more carefree. All his interests and hopes were invested in his own son. He asked with a smile, “Why are you willing to come back and take over Layover?”

Taehyung pushed the wheelchair under a tree where no one was around, and answered, “I made a pact with my big brother before he died.”

Lee Hyukjun grieved at the mention of his first son who had died in a car accident three years ago. He knew that thanks to his divorce, the siblings had been separated since childhood. But they had always been very close. If there was someone who could open Taehyung’s heart, it had been his big brother.

“A... pact?” his father asked in a hoarse voice.

Taehyung stood behind him. His cap covered his eyes and facial expression. He answered mildly but firmly, “If something happened to him, Layover would be my responsibility.”

That was why he had returned.

A gentleman’s agreement was a pact he must follow. Even though they were separated by death, and even though the path was fraught with difficulties. He just needed to conquer them all to fulfill the promise.

“I have three requirements,” Taehyung said after both of them had been quiet for a while.

...

Lee Hyukjun sat under the tree and started to contemplate.

His secretary, standing behind him, tried asking, “Chairman, are you worried?”

Lee Hyukjun smiled. “No. Just caught up in some memories.”

He couldn’t help being emotional when thinking about the three strict conditions his son had brought up.

Although he was still his loyal, trustworthy son with filial piety, he had been trained well by his soldier grandpa. He was already a wolf to the core.

Perhaps he might be able to save Layover.

However, even though he had come back to fulfill his promise, just like a wolf, he would completely own and control Layover. Even his father wouldn’t be allowed to have a say in the future.
