If I make you a prosecutor, are you going to be the president of South Korea?

"what?"

Xu Minying was stunned on the spot.

She had considered countless possibilities, including Li Chenghuan pressuring her as a senior, lecturing her for being impolite and disrespectful to his elders, and forcing her to relinquish control.

But to her utter surprise, Lee Seung-hwan asked her if she had a boyfriend.

This unexpected question left her speechless. After a moment of stunned silence, a slight blush appeared on her pretty face: "Why are you asking me such a personal question, senior? I... can I refuse to answer?"

A smile spread across Lee Seung-hwan's lips, and his eyes suddenly looked at her with deep affection: "If Prosecutor Seo doesn't have a boyfriend, would you consider me?"

"??!"

Xu Minying was even more surprised.

Is this senior confessing his feelings to her?

Xu Minying, who had never been confessed to before, became shy.

Her pretty face flushed instantly, turning bright red, her heart raced, and she felt a slight surge of excitement.

Then something else came to mind.

She shook her head slightly, looking apologetic, and said, "I'm sorry, senior, we don't know each other and have never spent time together. Your sudden words have surprised and bewildered me. Please forgive me for not being able to grant your request. Also..."

She hesitated for a moment, looking as if she couldn't bear to hurt Lee Seung-hwan: "Besides, I already have someone I like. I'm sorry, senior..."

Lee Seung-hwan had already guessed that she would say that.

So it wasn't surprising that I was rejected.

However, since he doesn't play by the rules, he can't possibly leave empty-handed.

Then, the deep affection in his eyes turned into desolation, and he said in a low voice, "The person that Prosecutor Xu likes is Chen Daojun, the youngest son of the Shunyang Group, right?"

Before Xu Minying could ask, with a look of surprise, how did you know?

Lee Seung-hwan continued, "Actually, I should have realized it sooner. He is a third-generation chaebol family scion, and may inherit the Shunyang Group in the future. Prosecutor Xu is also the daughter of a high-ranking prosecutor. You two are a perfect match."

"I am just an orphan whose parents died early. I grew up in an orphanage. I have no illustrious family background, let alone a grandfather who is the chairman of a conglomerate. I even had to rely on other people's sponsorship and part-time work to pay for my college tuition."

"Although I studied at Seoul National University just like you, I, an ordinary student, could only watch you high achievers from the sidelines. Prosecutor Seo probably doesn't even know that I was once your classmate, even though I was a year ahead of you."

“You said I don’t understand you, but you’re wrong. I know you really like the idol group [Seo Tae-joon and His Children]. I know you were sad because the group faced creative pressure and eventually disbanded due to its decline in popularity. I also know you like Chen Dao-jun and confessed to him when you were working part-time at a coffee shop.”

"I also know that you were heartbroken and cried because he stood you up."

"I know that although you two have formed a bond, you haven't ended up together yet..."

"But what you don't know, Prosecutor Xu, is that the reason I worked so hard to pass the bar exam was so that I could become a prosecutor like you. That way, I might still not be able to win your favor, but at least I would have the right to talk to you and meet you."

"In a place you don't know, there's a boy who's secretly liked you for two years... five years."

Lee Seung-hwan made a heartfelt confession.

Xu Minying's eyes widened, her mind was subjected to an unprecedented shock, and her face was filled with shock and disbelief!

She never thought about it.

One day someone will confess their feelings to you like this.

Compared to Chen Daojun, who flirts and then runs away, never takes the initiative, never refuses, and is a chauvinistic guy like a block of wood.

This is Lee Seung-hwan's confession.

They came so openly and boldly, and their arrival was so intense!

And deeply affectionate!

For the first time, Xu Minying realized that during her university years, there was a boy who had been silently watching her. He knew her preferences and saw her entanglement with the son of a wealthy family, but due to his social status, he never dared to stand up and express his feelings to her. He could only work hard in silence and desperately pass the prosecutor's exam just to gain the right to speak to her as an equal.

He even deliberately took on this case in order to secure this one and only chance to speak to me...

It has to be said that women's imaginations can be quite devastating.

They automatically filter out anything that is unreasonable.

I only saw the highlights.

A boy from an ordinary background secretly admires the daughter of a high-ranking prosecutor during his university years, but he never has the courage to confess his feelings. He can only strive to become a prosecutor like her and narrow the gap in their social status through hard work.

Finally, I mustered up my courage and stood proudly in front of her to confess my feelings!

Women are emotional creatures.

South Korean feminism had not yet emerged in this era.

Xu Minying was truly moved.

She covered her mouth, her eyes filled with gratitude and guilt: "I'm sorry, I never knew..."

Lee Seung-hwan smiled nonchalantly: "It's alright. It's my business that I like Miss Min-young. You have the right to refuse. The reason I said those things is that I felt I would regret it later if I didn't say them now. I know I haven't tried hard enough. I'm still too weak. This position of chief prosecutor is still insignificant in front of the chaebol's son and your father. So I will continue to work hard. At least I won't give up before Min-young and Chen Dao-jun get married!"

Lee Seung-hwan successfully portrayed a character who came from humble beginnings, fell in love with a high-ranking official's daughter, was aware of the gap in their social status, was self-aware but never thought of giving up, and instead used practical actions to narrow the gap between them, showing a deep and unyielding affection.

So when those words came out, it was a sure-fire kill!

Xu Minying was deeply moved, her eyes reddened, and she almost cried.

After saying this, Li Chenghuan turned and left without hesitation, his tall figure appearing incredibly lonely.

At the same time, I started to silently recite in my mind.

"1"

"2"

They haven't called 3 yet.

Then Xu Minying's voice came from behind.

"and many more!"

Lee Seung-hwan paused, a fleeting smile playing on his lips.

Turning his head, he forced a smile, feigning nonchalance: "Prosecutor Xu, is there anything else?"

Looking at the forced, broken smile on Lee Seung-hwan's face, Xu Minying felt a sharp pang in her heart for some reason.

She always thought the person she liked was Chen Daojun.

But I never received a response from him.

She took the initiative entirely.

She took the initiative to suggest going to the library with him and to ask him out, but he stood her up every time and never gave her an explanation.

He hurt me repeatedly.

The two have almost lost contact since graduating from university.

This caused her to shut herself off from love and focus on preparing for the bar exam. Through tireless efforts, she finally became a prosecutor, throwing herself into her work and trying to shake off the shadow of Chen Daojun in her heart...

Unexpectedly, there was a boy who had been secretly in love with her all along. So this is what it feels like to be loved. She saw her past self in Lee Seung-hwan, and Lee Seung-hwan was far more affectionate than she was.

She relented.

"Um... Seung-hwan... Oppa, things happened a bit too suddenly. Could you give me some time to think about it? I'll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"
