Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

Walking down, Soohyun noticed that the dinner table was set, and lots of dishes were placed on top of the table. Junghyun was seated on his own respective seat whilst Yejoon sat beside Junghyun.

She saw that Butler Shin was walking in with various dishes held at his hand and placed them down on the table. The amount of food caused her eyes to widen. She wanted to run away because she was aware that whether or not she liked it, Soohyun will be stuffed with all of these.

Staring towards Soohyun, Butler Shin said, "Oh! Mistress, you're here. I was about to just call you."

Lee Soohyun forced out a smile and nodded. As she walked towards the table, Hw.a.n.g Yejoon turned towards her and enunciated, "Sister-in-law, you're looking beautiful."

Staring at him, she voiced out, "Nothing new."

Soohyun sat down upon her place and watched as Butler Shin walked towards her. Soohyun's bowls were larger than the rest, and eating among them in such a bowl made her feel embarra.s.sed.

Seeing the amount of dishes Butler Shin put on her bowl, Soohyun's eyes grew wider, and she expressed, "Butler Shin, I think a little less would be better. I sort of am full from the lunch currently."

"Master said to increase your meal quant.i.ty if you give excuses," Butler Shin voiced out, causing Soohyun to immediately shut her mouth.

She definitely did not want more than what was on her plate currently!

A chuckle left Hw.a.n.g Yejoon's mouth, and Soohyun shot him a glance. A smirk sat on Yejoon's face as he vocalised, "Sister-in-law is really cute."

Junghyun scoffed and said, "Your eyes must be rotten. How is such an ugly girl cute?"

Turning towards Junghyun, Yejoon vocalised, "You don't call a girl ugly even when they are like that. That's why you're single after so many years, Hyung."

Hearing the words that left Yejoon's mouth, laughter escaped Soohyun's mouth, and joining in, she said, "Really, Junghyun? You're actually forever single! Heol!"

"I am not h.o.r.n.y as you two!" Junghyun exclaimed before looking down at his meal. Picking up his chopsticks, Junghyun ignored them and started eating his meal.

A glint appeared in Yejoon's eyes as he turned toward Soohyun, and he said, "Speaking about h.o.r.n.y, Sister-in-law, I—"

"Young Master Yejoon, Master Minhyun wouldn't prefer you using such words toward the Mistress," Butler Shin said whilst interrupting Yejoon.

"Such a killjoy," Yejoon commented.

He then added, "Since Hyung is coming between us, Sister-in-law, I shall stop, but this doesn't mean it's the end, My Beautiful Sister-in-law."

Soohyun just shook her head at him. Even though Yejoon was flirting with her, it had almost zero affect on her. Soohyun had to admit that Yejoon was charming, but his charms did not affect her.

Looking down at her food, Soohyun decided to start eating them— the quicker she starts eating them, the earlier she will be finishing them.

As Soohyun placed a piece of beef inside her mouth, Yejoon said, "Omo! Sister-in-law, you look adorable when you're eating as well honestly."

Swallowing down the meat, Soohyun turned towards Yejoon and smiled sweetly at him. She then said, "Brother-in-law, thank you for the compliment. You see, I have a lot on my plate, so allow me to finish them. After that, both of us can compliment each other."

Yejoon winked and said, "Nice, I like that."

"Brother-in-law, you're the first person in this mansion who is pleasant to talk to and be around. I am pretty sure we will share an amazing time together."

Junghyun then mumbled, "That Han Minhyun will soon be cuckolded."

Walking across the room, Soohyun hoped for her stomach to turn flat again. A b.u.mp on the stomach did not appear nice to stare at, and after that large meal, Soohyun could not move for half an hour.

That's when, the door to the room opened, and raising her head, she saw Minhyun step in. Glancing at clock, she realized that the time was around two in the night.

"You're not asleep yet?" Minhyun questioned.

Lee Soohyun shook her head and said, "I wanted to go to sleep, but curiosity do not allow me to."

Removing his coat, Minhyun questioned, "Curiosity?"

Soohyun nodded. Walking towards the table, Soohyun picked up the book and stepped towards Minhyun. Holding the book in front of her, she stared at him with pleading eyes.

"You want to read this book, but guilt is stopping you to?" 

A sparkle appeared in Soohyun's eyes, and she exclaimed, "Heol! Minhyun, it seems that you can read my mind! Yes, that's the case. So, as long as you give me permission, I will have no problem reading it. You see, I do have humanity and feel slight guilt."

Minhyun scoffed and vocalised, "You're surprisingly honest today."

Wearing a wide smile, Soohyun exclaimed, "That's because honesty is the best policy, Dear Husband?"

She then asked, "Can I read it, Minhyun?"

Han Minhyun leaned his face closer to Lee Soohyun's, and at their proximity, Soohyun found her cheeks heating up. Minhyun breath fell upon her body, and his bangs fell above his mask. His thin pink lips curved into a smirk.

Staring at the dark eyes of his, Soohyun found her heart beating rapidly in her chest. The man in front of her was filled with charms, and the glint in his eyes, along with the smirk, made him appear more devilishly handsome.

"No," Minhyun answered.

The smile on Soohyun's face instantly disappeared, and both of her eyebrows were furrowed. Her lower lip protruded forward, and a pout formed on her face.

"Why?" Soohyun asked, "Aren't we married and even fated to be each other?"

Soohyun then added, "There should be no secrets in between us."

Han Minhyun chuckled and voiced out, "That sounds funny coming from you."

Lee Soohyun sighed and said, "Fine, fine, since you are all that reluctant, Minhyun, I won't force you on anything."

Han Minhyun extended his hand and patted Soohyun's head, surprising her and causing her eyes to widen. He then vocalised, "Good girl! You have learned."

Hearing those words from Minhyun intensified a sudden type of feeling within Soohyun, and at the point, she was unable to guess what the feeling was.

That's when, a thought came upon Soohyun, and raising her head, she stared at Minhyun with her sparkling eyes, holding hope.

She then voiced out, "Since I am a good girl, shouldn't you reward me?"
