Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty And Masked Beast Chapter 72 - Abandon My Morals

When Lee Soohyun sat on the tiled floor, Minhyun noticed the boy who was pulled up with her. The boy could not get out of the bas.e.m.e.nt without someone pulling him up.

A barrier was placed at the mouth of the bas.e.m.e.nt, and when Lee Soohyun pulled him along with her, his hand came out of the barrier. That was enough for him to leave the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Releasing Lee Soohyun's hand, he brushed his hand against his pants, and stepping up, a smirk sat upon his face. Walking up, the boy stared straight at Han Minhyun and tucked his hands inside his pocket.

"Long time no see, Han Minhyun," The boy voiced out.

An impa.s.sive expression sat on Han Minhyun's face. Opening his mouth, he spoke out, "Kim Junghyun."

Lee Soohyun felt a fierce gaze in her way. Raising her head, Soohyun noticed that it was Han Minhyun who was staring like that. A chill went down Soohyun's spine, and she gulped. 

The relief and happiness she displayed disappeared at that moment; It was replaced with fright. Soohyun's hand started to tremble, and as she stood up, her legs were somewhat shaky. Looking at Han Minhyun's eyes, Soohyun knew that something terrifying was coming for her.

"Moon Jiwoo," Han Minhyun enunciated. 

Soohyun's hair stood up, and her heart started to beat rapidly. Unable to stare at Han Minhyun's dark eyes further, Lee Soohyun turned to look at the other way.

"Let's go home," He commanded, and Lee Soohyun nodded docilely.

Looking at the butler, who stood behind him, Han Minhyun ordered, "Take care of him."

The boy climbed up and stood on the tile. Brus.h.i.+ng his hand through his hair, he stared at Han Minhyun with a victorious expression on his face. 

"Leaving so soon, Han Minhyun?" The boy asked.

"Since you're here after so long, let's catch up on each other," The boy voiced out, and, then, looking at Lee Soohyun, the boy added, "Let me get to know your wife as well."

Facing the boy, Minhyun spoke out, "Even if you're out of the bas.e.m.e.nt, you won't be able to leave the mansion."

Minhyun turned on his heels and walked away. Looking at how things went between the boy and Minhyun, Soohyun could easily sense the animosity between the two.

Tilting his head to look back, he said, "What are you waiting for? Follow me."

Lee Soohyun nodded and walked behind Han Minhyun quietly. The tense atmosphere made it hard for Soohyun to open her mouth and say something.

"Han Minhyun, you're leaving me with this old man again? This is really not fun. If you want to, then leave behind your wife. Although she is an idiot, she is really fun," Junghyun spoke out.

Lee Soohyun wanted to exclaim out a 'no'. Neither did she have any desires to stay at this creepy mansion nor endure this unbearably arrogant nine year old.

Wearing a smirk on his face, Han Minhyun turned back and stated, "Trust me. I'm really doing a favour to you by taking her away. You won't be able to bear how she is, and I don't want you to die that easily."

'Wow! Are those the words you should say to a nine year old? People involved with the mafia are really different from ordinary people, and what do you mean by he won't be able to bear me? Unlike you, everyone likes me. But since you won't make me stay at this mansion, I won't hold a grudge against you.'

The boy scoffed.

Lee Soohyun sat down on the couch and observed Han Minhyun. So far yet, he did not do anything to her. Nonetheless, Soohyun had a feeling that there was not much time left before he started scolding her. 

A tense silence surrounded them the entire time whilst their ride back home, and Lee Soohyun did not dare break that in the car. After all, it was better to enjoy peace as long as it lasted.

Closing her eyes, Lee Soohyun tried to sleep at this moment. However, the fear and the nagging curiosity to know what Han Minhyun would do to her took that way.

'Yah! You sleep, you were annoying me back in the bas.e.m.e.nt, but now, you don't even show yourself— even if it is for a short time.'

Hearing footsteps in front of her, Lee Soohyun went still and pretended to be asleep. Desperately, she prayed in head that Han Minhyun would be convinced with her acting.

Nonetheless, Lee Soohyun was not surprised when Han Minhyun spoke out, "Your acting is not even a percent close to looking realistic."

There was nothing new about Han Minhyun being able to look through her acting, and letting out a sigh, Lee Soohyun wore on guilty expression sat on her face. 

'Soohyun, admit your crime before he voices them out. Even at the court, they lighten the punishment on those who expresses their crimes beforehand.'

Looking down, Soohyun spoke out, "Hubby, I'm really sorry. I know I disobeyed you and got trapped there. I shouldn't have done that, but when I heard the boy crying out for help, I could not stop myself. If I abandoned a small boy in need of help, how would that make me look like? Your orders meant a lot for me. That's why, this decision was hard for me to me."

Then, looking up at Han Minhyun with resolute eyes, Lee Soohyun righteously spoke out, "But, Hubby, despite the situation, I can not abandon my morals."

Amus.e.m.e.nt flashed in Han Minhyun's eyes, and leaning back on the couch, he crossed his legs. He then voiced out, "Let's hear those morals of yours."

"Right now, Hubby?" Soohyun questioned.

Lee Soohyun knew that she had some morals, but she did not exactly know what they were. Moreover, Lee Soohyun did not want to mention something and go against it in the future. That would cause for Han Minhyun to look down upon her more and humiliate her further.

Glancing at his watch, Han Minhyun spoke out, "It's one in the night, but that doesn't matter. I'm feeling wide awake."

Lee Soohyun let out a hearty yawn, causing the tears to form at the corner of her eyes, and closing her eyes, she said, "Hubby, I'm feeling extremely sleepy now. Can we talk about this tomorrow morning?"

Opening one of her eyes, Lee Soohyun wanted to check Han Minhyun's expression. Bending towards the table, Han Minhyun slammed his hand on the table, and the sound made Soohyun jolt up.

"Hubby, what's the matter?" Soohyun questioned nervously.

"Moon Jiwoo," Han Minhyun enunciated, "Did you think it would be that easy to escape from me?"

Lee Soohyun shook her head at the moment, and wearing an obedient expression on her face, Soohyun stared at Han Minhyun. Thinking that this session would be over faster if she acted docile, Lee Soohyun stared at the ground.
