Chapter 1026 – [Winter of Growth]

It’s time, and it’s time to start eating in earnest.

I wait for Jiyoon to escort my sister, but Shion and Eden go to the guest seat in advance.

“By the way, do we sit on the groom’s side or the bride’s side?”

“If you both know each other, that’s the case. Just sit on the bride’s side. The seats over there are spacious anyway.”

“Are you sarcastic about not having any acquaintances with your sister right now?!”

“It’s true that I have few acquaintances, but what?”

If you were from Cheonryongmun, there might be someone you know, but since she disowned her sister, she didn’t invite anyone from there.

Thanks to that, compared to the groom’s guests, the bride’s guests are relatively few. I somehow called my acquaintances to fill the digits, but that was the case.

“I want to eat buffet!!!!!”

“Okay, let’s eat after the wedding, Eden.”

“Uh!!!!”

As expected, our Eden was more interested in ashes than chanting. I’m going to skip the buffet today, but yeah.

Anyway, while waiting at the back of the hall, the moderator came out and announced the start of the ceremony with an opening ceremony. The ceremony was conducted by an emcee with a good sense of humor.

Originally, there is a certain order, but since the times have changed, some of them are skipped. It was a change that made it possible to know the present of busy modern people.

And first of all, the position of the groom. As the ceremony begins in earnest, Si-hyeok, who looks slightly nervous, crosses the guest seats and goes up to the podium. As one of the two main characters of the day, people greet him with applause.

“Isn’t my husband wonderful?”

“It’s so nice to see the day when my sister will call Si-hyeok her husband.”

“Even I didn’t expect this day to come. To be honest, it still feels like a dream.”

“It’s not a dream, it’s reality, so wake up and taste the reality that’s sweeter than a dream. Even if you’re not alone.”

“It should be”

And it is time for the long-awaited entrance of the bride.

Apparently, it is evidence of a patriarchal society that the male of the family escorts the bride when she enters. So this is also a trend that is disappearing these days, but we were still a generation capable of doing that.

Besides, it’s what my sister wants. Ji-yoon sister’s father passed away a long time ago, so her mother, Mrs. Lim Park, is the only one in her house, so I take the place of her father.

“Down the veil. Let’s go soon.”

“Okay”

I held her hand Even though he looks thin, I can feel the calluses as if he is holding a sword, perhaps because he is a master at his peak.

Accompanied by people’s applause, we cross the guest seats and rise to the podium. And I hand over my sister’s hand to Sihyuk.

No words were needed. I was able to say everything I wanted to say with just a light nod and eyes.

And when I finished my work, I sat down in the family seat on the bride’s side. Already there, Jiyoon and her sister’s mother, Mrs. Park, are sitting.

“A day like this is coming, ma’am.”

“I see… No, it’s such a happy day, why do tears keep coming out…”

“These are tears of joy. Tears of joy and tears of sadness are different.”

I can understand how parents feel when their children leave. However, if it is not because they die, but if they are leaving to find their own happiness, as parents, we should be happy and welcome.

Soon it was the turn of the officiant. The face of the celebrant on the podium and the people who heard the introduction can hear a small buzz.

“Aren’t you the chairman of Ohsung Group? No, how did you come to this place?”

“I heard that you must be an acquaintance of the president.”

“Our president’s network is no joke”

Actually, it’s Shion’s personal connections… Well, it doesn’t matter.

The officiating speech ends with the five-minute officiating at the most. It’s pretty short, I like it. No matter how good the day is, if you officiate for 10 or 20 minutes, both the guests and the bride and groom will be tired and bored.

The next order was the congratulatory song. If there is something quite unexpected, some young people came out among the staff at Matchamnae for the congratulatory song, but their skills in playing the guitar or piano were not ordinary people.

Maybe it’s an indie band, it’s not a famous singer’s anthem, but it’s still worth listening to.

And just like that, the wedding is over. There were a few small events, but nothing big.

There was no such thing as pyebaek, so the next meal was straight away. Together with the bride and groom, we go down to the hotel restaurant.

“Buffet!!!!!!”

“I must have been scolded for enduring my daughter’s hunger.”

“Go and eat a lot, Eden.”

“Uh!!!!!”

Eden checked our table and she didn’t even take a seat and she ran straight to the salad bar. Seeing that she is so enthusiastic about food makes me happy to see that she still looks healthy.

First of all, before Shion and I went to get something to eat, she decided to lightly quench her throat. Anyway, time is loose.

Today, meals are at least 100,000 won at a hotel buffet, and alcohol is also free. In addition, today is a paid vacation guaranteed by the company, and tomorrow is a weekend when I do not go to work, but I can sleep in a hotel.

Thanks to this, the guests enjoy the meal purely while having fun. Yes, I had to spend a day like today laughinghahahoho like that.

After talking with the guests for a while, the bride and groom came to our table. They are the main characters of the day, but they are so busy that there is no time to sit down even when eating.

“Thank you very much for making a reservation to the hotel today, ma’am.”

“It’s nothing special. Rather, I’m sorry I couldn’t take you to a better place.”

“No, that’s enough. Thanks to that, the guests like it too, so it’s okay.”

“You two should also have a meal. If you continue to entertain, I will starve today.”

“Yes, I’m going to eat soon.”

My sister had also taken off her wedding dress and changed into comfortable clothes. Honestly, you can’t eat in a dress, can you?

“Is the honeymoon going tomorrow? Have a good trip. The island there is nice.”

“It’s nice to have a rich sister-in-law. No, how many people go to a private island on a private plane for their honeymoon?”

“Be nice to your wife later. Oh, if you go there and don’t know something, call and ask. I’m very quick about that.”

“Why not?”

“There’s something like that”

It’s been years, but I still remember it vividly. That moment at that time when every minute and every second was both painful and enjoyable.

Sexual desire is on the verge of exploding, but it’s a secret that I looked around every nook and cranny of the island while forcing myself to spend time doing this and that.

Anyway, I sent the two of them out to eat. I’m leaving for my honeymoon tomorrow morning, so it’d be better to eat well.

And when the two of them went back, Eden took the food and brought it. It started with vegetables or soup, perhaps to eat lightly, but the portion is full.

“I will enjoy this food!!!!”

“My daughter’s appetizers are decent meals”

“I’ll eat dozens of plates of that, so it’s no joke.”

If our Eden goes to a buffet, he might not be accepted at the store the next time.

Since Eden brought the food, we wanted to eat it soon, so we brought it in moderation. Since it’s a buffet, the quality itself is lower than that of a typical restaurant, but it’s not bad because it’s a famous hotel. The taste is pretty good too.

If it’s good for my taste, it’s good for others. Because I’m too picky about my taste.

Haha, nice to meet you, President Choi. And the head of Zion.”

And the long-awaited opponent appeared with a smile on the outside. Although he is the head of a company that is known worldwide, it was noticeable that he was nervous and sweaty in front of the strongest military man and the person with the highest power.

Normally, people like that would be seen as annoying or bad, but today is a happy day. Besides, as officiators, Si-hyeok and Ji-yoon saved my sister’s face, so they deserve to be treated as guests.

I took out the drink I had brought. Today was a good day, so to enjoy it, I brought quite a lot of fairy tears and brought enough to pass a glass to each of the guests. There will be at least one per table.

Can I bring alcohol to the hotel? There will be a corkage service, but we paid for it today. To not have this cost there.

“Thank you for today’s work, Chairman. You must be busy, but you took the time to do so.”

“Rather, I’ll tell you. I usually wanted to visit you, but it’s very nice to meet you like this.”

“Me and him already know, so let’s skip the introduction. And this is our daughter, Eden.”

“Hello, I’m Eden!”

“She is very beautiful because the child resembles her mother. I am very curious about what will happen when she grows up.”

If it was like everyone else, Eden would mistake Shion for Eden, but he already knew Shion and she wasn’t stupid enough to make that mistake.

On the one hand, while loving the child, he only carefully examines the child who will inherit the entire Hannon family.

It’s a little bit hard to see a child as a future powerhouse without seeing him as a child… But it’s unavoidable. Well, the eyes can only see something, and if the position is standing, then there is no choice but to see it like that.

At least, if you don’t play tricks on Eden, you can pass it on. If you get to know her face like this, it will be helpful to Eden’s network later.

She invites him to sit together and pours a drink into a glass along with the appetizers she brought. He admires the sky-blue jewel-like color and rich aroma that pours into the glass.

“No, this kind of alcohol…!!!”

“It’s called Fairy Tears. It’s made on our farm, but I hope you like it.”

“Is this something that is scheduled to be released in Matchamnae?”

“No, it’s not for sale. But do you know our company’s products?”

“Of course. We often boil Matchamnae Kimchi Jjigae at home. It’s so delicious that it’s not like instant, so it’s perfect for hangover the next day after drinking alcohol.”

“Thank you for praising our company’s products.”

“Not only that, but there’s also a new soju..Haha, I really liked it. To be honest, I don’t really like alcohol that only tastes like sweetener.”

“Then you’ll like this too.”

He holds a sip of fairy tears in his mouth.

The thick and rich taste of fairy tears is even violent on the one hand. However, it was the clean aftertaste that did not get tired of such sweetness.

The more you drink, the more you want to drink. It’s like drinking sea water when you’re thirsty, but there’s a difference in that it’s sweet.

“Oh, oh… It’s a taste that no other fine wine can compete with. It’s very delicious.”

“I’m glad you liked it”

“It’s a pity that this type of alcohol is not for sale. Do you really intend to sell it?”

“It’s not as good as it is delicious. At best, it’s only enough to take care of the people around you.”

If Keter made fairy tears every day, he wouldn’t know, but he couldn’t because he had work to do. After all, it is a level that is made once in a while, and the production volume is a little over 100 bottles at a time.

It’s a large amount to consume at home, a decent amount to share with acquaintances, but a small amount to sell.

That’s why it can’t even be sold, and it comes out as a bait product and top exchange item for the upcoming Garden of Eden. By the way, Shion says that you need to collect goods for half a year to exchange them for free.

I don’t think it’s a bit too much, but since it’s the end item, it’s a reasonable balance. Exchanging fruits like apples and pears doesn’t take too long.

Anyway, Chairman Oh Seong and I talked about various things while drinking. I didn’t talk much about business, so I was able to talk happily.

“Ah, if you don’t mind, I’d like to introduce you to my grandson.”

“Did you bring your grandson?”

“Yes, I brought you here because I was of the same age as your daughter, so I thought we could become friends. It just happens to be over there.”

In the direction he looked, there was a boy who was a little shorter than Eden. Later, when he grows up, his features are clear and intelligent, so that his future is expected.

Apparently, he is the kind of kid who will inherit the group later? Well, the term is long, so I probably need the next successor before that kid, but if things go well, I think I can inherit the group.

Because he is such a child, his intentions are visible. At least, if it was a girl, the real Eden would simply bring him as a friend, but if it was a boy like that, he would expect things to go well with Eden later.

He beckoned and the child walked this way. He must have been educated, but his walking posture was confident and there was no twist.

“Did you call, Grandpa?”

“Yes, greet them. They are Chairman Choi and the head of Zion.”

The child bowed his head and greeted us politely. He feels like a newcomer to society, not a child.

“Hello, my name is Oh Tae-seong. Please take good care of me.”

Somehow, when I see a child like that, I think of Jihee. Those children who seem to be no longer children due to the greed of adults.

But if there is something else, that child wants it on the other hand. Hagisa, if he were to be the second generation of a chaebol who would inherit a conglomerate, he might take it for granted to receive such an education.

“My Taeseong is 10 years old this year. Maybe your daughter…”

“Eden is 9 years old. He is going to second grade of elementary school this year.”

“Heh heh, you’re much taller than other kids your age. You have a healthy daughter.”

That’s our pride Other things are important for a child, but he is also health when it comes to the most important thing. No matter how smart and handsome he is, if his health is not good, he is the worst.

Anyway, I can see his black heart, but it doesn’t matter if you leave it as it is because it will be dirty and hard to develop into a romantic relationship with our Eden. Don’t ask me to suffer alone.

Children talk separately while adults talk. Oh Tae-sung approached Eden and introduced himself.

“Hello? My name is Oh Tae-seong. How about you?”

“I am Eden. I am 9 years old this year!!!”

“I’m 10 years old. I’m a year older”

“Then you’re Taeseong’s older brother!!!!”

Even though he was young, he smiled at Eden’s good looks and cheerful personality. Hagisa If a woman gets jealous in front of that cheating appearance, I don’t know, but I wonder how many cases a man will hate.

Perhaps Chairman Oh Seong had said that he should be friendly with Eden, but he reached out his hand to make friends with Eden.

“There’s a swimming pool downstairs. Would you like to go and swim with me?”

“Swimming pool? I like it!!!!! Then let’s go and swim later”

“Later?”

“Eat some rice”

“Ah, I see. Then let’s go together later.”

He probably thought it would take 2 or 30 minutes at best, but it’s not at all. As much as Eden ate, the meal time was long.

If the buffet has a set amount of time, it would normally be around 2 hours, but Eden ate almost full and devoted himself to the meal for about 2 hours.

Oh Tae-seong, who had been watching for about 30 minutes, looked at Eden who continued to eat and made an expression of disbelief, but after an hour passed, he made a look of astonishment. After about 2 hours, there was nothing left to look at.

Chairman Oh Seong, who had been drinking quite a bit, rubbed his eyes at Eden and made an expression as if the alcohol had run away. It’s pretty funny to see you surprised.

“Heh, heh… Your daughter eats quite a lot.”

“Right now, I’m a glutton. I don’t know how much I’ll eat when I grow up.”

To be honest, I had a hard time cooking every day thanks to the amount Eden ate.

Still, if Eden likes it, that’s enough. The reward for my labor was so great that Eden’s smile left me with change.

“Oh, I ate well”

“Have you eaten now? You eat a lot. How can you eat so much?”

“You haven’t eaten?”

“………….Uh?”

“Now I have to eat dessert!!!!”

At Eden’s remarks, Oh Tae-seong made an expression as if he was looking at something completely indescribable. Well, it’s like a human looking straight at the phantom in the giant state of the abyss.

Only with that. Give up because you can’t handle Eden!!!!
