The Wife Is A Superstar 7

Chapter 1386 I Can See it in Your Eyes

"You son of a—"

Donghwi pounced on Mingyu over the table, but Hoyeon blocked him. Both of the men's eyes widened at her actions. Donghwi was in disbelief that she would blatantly protect another man in front of him. Mingyu was also surprised at her quick reflexes, but his gaze on her softened. He never knew that being protected by his lady like this would feel so good. This kind of gender role reversal didn't bother him at all. On the contrary, his admiration for his girlfriend only grew because of this. "You stopped me?" Donghwi asked Hoyeon. Gone was her usual timid and submissive personality when in front of him. Right now, she was fierce. It wasn't only because of her usual cold bodyguard aura, either. She was really glaring at him with all her might. For a few seconds, Donghwi even felt scared that she might break the arm that she was holding.

"Our son is watching us," she told him in a low but firm tone. "You can act like an asshole all you want, but not just in front of Little Jun. If you do, I won't let you meet him anymore unless you fix your attitude."

He glanced to the side and found their son watching them with curious eyes. If it weren't for the bodyguards distracting him with the new toys, the child would have already run toward his parents. Donghwi forced himself to calm down. Hoyeon threw his arm back to him, the force almost toppling him backwards. He glared at her, then at Mingyu. Now that she had a new man, she could really bear to treat him so harshly like this. Donghwi felt resentful. His glare on Mingyu turned more hostile. The man's close proximity to his woman was a definite eyesore. If it weren't for the presence of Little Jun, Donghwi would have already swung a punch at the man's ugly face.

"If you still insist on creating trouble for Mingyu and me, then I think there is no point in this meeting anymore," Hoyeon said. "Remember that I still have a restraining order against you. So if I call the police right now, they can haul you away."

"I...won't cause trouble," he replied through gritted teeth.

They all sat back down. "What else did you want to talk to me about?" she asked. Donghwi studied her. She was still the same woman he had pursued before, took as his lover, and impregnated with his own child. But right now, she gave off a different feeling to him. Hoyeon was firmer and fiercer. Of course, it could be due to her grudge against him that she was deliberately acting like this to him. But it didn't feel that way. As a matter of fact, there was a kind of stability in her gaze that hadn't been there before. Back when they were still together, it would only take him one look at her eyes to analyze if he could coax her into following his wishes. Now, however, it felt like there was an insurmountable chasm between the two of them that he couldn't cross no matter how hard he tried. This realization was like a hard punch in his gut. If, before this, he still had some hope that they would be able to return to how they used to be before everything had been destroyed, he couldn't delude himself anymore now.

Hoyeon had changed. Before he knew it, she was now in a place he could no longer reach.

"Well?" She frowned at him. The impatience was apparent in her eyes. She had never looked at him like this before. "Is there anything else that you wanted to talk about? Unfortunately, I can't stay long. I still have an important training to attend later."

He pursed his lip. All the things he wanted to tell her felt useless at this point. Besides, Mingyu was present. If he still expressed his intention of accepting Hoyeon as a lover again, he and Mingyu might brawl.

There was a lot at stake for him at the moment. The defamation lawsuit cost him a lot. His father didn't help him pay for the 50 million compensation at all. Half of the money came from his own pocket. The other half came from his in-laws, the Maos. Even his mother, Zheng Sue, pitched in a little.
