Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast - Chapter 411

That took away the gratitude she had for him.

This made her sure that the only reason he protected her was to mock her, and feeling frustrated due to that, she retorted, “I was planning to do that in the first place! You ruined my plans by catching me like that.”

“You are crazy,” he voiced out, rolling his eyes.

She just scoffed at that and vocalised, “Don’t you have work to do?”

Somewhat glaring at her, the male said, “Will you let me do my work?”

The corner of her lips curved to form a smile while she folded her hands over her c.h.e.s.t and then said, “Of course I will, but you know, when you ask for something, you have to give something in return. It’s a give and take world after all.”

“Tch! Give and take my foot,” he stated before sitting on the couch beside hers.

Holding her urge to bite the man, she plopped down on the couch as well, and moving closer to him, she started, “Well, I don’t know how to start this, but let’s get married quickly, Eunwoo.”

Instead of seeming surprised or repulsed, his eyes appeared to question her as if she had finally lost her mind or not.

‘Isn’t this better than instant rejection?’

“I swear this is really urgent, and it’s not like I am playing around or something.”

Before he was able to get up from the couch and leave, she grabbed on to his wrist to prevent him from making a move.

“Listen me out on it completely before walking away, alright? Let’s not waste more of each other’s time,” she said.

Her pleading eyes caused him to give in, and he fell back on the couch after commenting, “I don’t expect you to say anything smart, but if this gets you to be silent, then continue.”

“Both of us are engaged, and in a matter of years, if nothing happens, we will even get married, right? This is how things are planned to be at least,” she voiced out.

‘Yeah, this was bound to happen if a variable like the Female Lead didn’t appear.’

He nodded.

“That’s why, isn’t it better to get married early than be late? The thing is that you know my feelings for you. But marriage is a big thing. I don’t want to end up in a regret later on.

If I get married in my late twenties, it would feel too late for me, and I might be too reluctant to give up the relationship with you if anything goes wrong. That might make me more into you. Plus being divorced at that age would make things difficult for me.

Therefore, why don’t we get married for a trial period of six months and see if we can get along with each other when we are young? That’s why, even if things don’t work between us, it won’t he too late to start anew.

This will be advantageous to both of us. You don’t even seem willing to spend your entire life with me, and I am not sure if I want to risk it all for you. That’s why, let’s do this.

Moreover, I know that you don’t like me. If you find someone to fall in love with later on, it would be too tough for me. We can’t even break this engagement this easily since this concerns way too much.

That’s why, let’s get married and give this a last chance. If this doesn’t work, both of us can go different paths and not bother with each other. I don’t want my life to be filled with regrets with something uncertain,” she vocalised.

The well thought-out excuse she came up with after much thinking made her be proud of herself. Certainly, this wasn’t her reason for wanting to get married with the man.

But the fact that this was all that convincing even had her shocked. Subconsciously, she patted herself due to the job well done.

“I won’t fall for anyone,” he pointed out.

Those words of his made her want to mock him.

‘Despite that, you fell for the Female Lead. Is this how you kept a fool like Yoonmi charmed? Tch! You should at least take responsibility for the words you say, seeing how rare they are.’

“Doesn’t that mean you are not going to fall in love with me either? I don’t know how long I will be able to bear with this one-sided love. For my entire life, I don’t want to hang on to this,” she stated.

“Are you unhappy?”

‘Well, Yoonmi didn’t hate how things were between them until Jihae arrived.’

“Yeah,” she answered, “I don’t know until how long I will be able to continue this. While everyone around me is talking about how they are loved, what do you think I have to discuss about? Do you even pay any attention to me? You barely know anything about me! It looks as if I am chasing you the entire time!”

“Do you want to break this engagement?” he questioned.

Her eyes widened. She was shocked at how easily he brought up this matter. Nonetheless, she had expected this.

The negative side of her plan was that Eunwoo would want to break this off with her, and if things progressed in that way, she would have no option but to make new plans unfortunately.

Moreover, for great plans to succeed, risks must be taken.

Ryu Yoonmi didn’t understand why she felt overwhelmed by emotions right then. Maybe it was because of the pity she felt towards the villainess.

Although ‘Yoonmi’ was the enemy to the Female Lead and horrible, she too suffered greatly in this love. Seeing how calm Eunwoo was, it just showed all that ‘Yoonmi’ gave up was for nothing.

Feigning a hurt look in her eyes, Yoonmi voiced out, “It’s really easy for you to say such words, isn’t it? Even after all that I did, it seems that my affections were still inadequate. Don’t you really feel nothing towards me after all that?”
