Actually, as he rehearsed, Min-ho felt he had overreacted a little. Although he mentally prepared himself, hearing people insult his sister in person was hard to bear. Anyone else would have said something too, let alone a man like himself.

Plus, Tiffany wasn't someone they could afford to insult!

Thinking of this, Min-ho sent Tiffany a message, "Noona, if you personally heard someone insulting you, what would you do?"

Actually, Min-ho wasn't the only one that reacted this way. In the past, both Shin hye and Tiffany had stuck up for each other in the same way.

As soon as Tiffany saw her brother's message, she could roughly guess what had happened. So she quickly replied, "Just ignore them. Remember their names and give it to me, that's all you need to do."

"Aren't you angry?"

"There's no point getting angry. But, the entertainment industry is small. One day, they are bound to fall into my hands..." she always destroyed people without them seeing it coming.

Seeing Min-ho did not response, she asked again, "Give me their names."

"As you know, I'll be appearing on an awards ceremony on Wednesday. Today I'm at the rehearsals and I came across the boy band, K&G. The boys were talking rudely about you, so I couldn't help it..."

"Don't be so impulsive from now on. The industry isn't as simple as you think it is."

But, as soon as Tiffany put down her phone, she immediately turned to Se-ra, "Give Sunny a call. Ask her to look into the boys from K&G. Quick."

"OK, focus on filming, I'll bring you the information as soon as I get it," Se-ra knew Tiffany was loyal. Although she said she wasn't going to get involved with Min-ho's business, there was no way she'd completely not care.

Under the current circumstance, she of course had to do all that she could to protect Min-ho.

3pm. Tiffany had to relocate for her next scene. At this time, Se-ra demonstrated her speedy diligence by presenting Tiffany with the information she got from Sunny.

"This band has three members. Amongst them, Han Joon-hwen and Yeng Cheol are both from rich families. They seemed to have entered the industry for fun and are both troublemakers. According to Sunny's sources, they both have a history of marijuana usage. As for the band leader, he was discovered from a talent competition and is quite talented. His personality is relatively calm and doesn't have any bad habits."

"All three of them come from Ice Age Entertainment Agency and because of their good looks, have been quite popular lately."

"They are Yun-ho's biggest rivals."

They were rivals and also sons of rich families.

"Ask Sunny if she can get a hold of any records regarding their marijuana usage," Tiffany instructed calmly. "Min-ho isn't prepared for it, but under these circumstances where he is sharing the same waiting room as his rivals, it is much too easy for them to plan something against him."

"OK, anything else you want me to do?"

"Tell Sunny to speak to the band leader. Since he is a clear-minded person, he should know how to weigh the pros and cons."

Being in a band with two people that had bad habits; he was bound to be dragged down with them sooner or later.

She never hurt people, she was simply cautious of them.

She wasn't going to let anyone hurt her friends and family, especially not within the entertainment industry.

"OK, I'll start working on it now."

Tiffany's precautionary work was quite scary, but it covered all bases, "I hope everything I prepared won't actually be put to use."

After hearing Tiffany's words, Se-ra felt a little touched. When making a move, she was ruthless like her husband.

After all, someone had trespassed into her territory. But in reality, she was truly aloof from the world. She barely chased after money and power and everything she did was for the sake of her closest people and loved ones. A woman like this was indeed interesting...

Not long after, Tiffany arrived at her new location and resumed filming. The closer they got to the second half of the film, the more difficult filming became.

Of course, Se-ra reported Tiffany's every move to Taeyeon and Tiffany secretly allowed it. She knew Se-ra was hired by Taeyeon, so it was expected that she'd report to him.

After hearing about the situation with Min-ho, Taeyeon did not give much of a reaction. He simply said, "Do as she instructed."

Sunny's sources had always been accurate and fast. She had a circle of contacts that she had built over the years, maintained from the time she started in the industry until now.

What Tiffany wanted to know wasn't something difficult to find out. Sunny simply had to do a quick search and she got what she was looking for.

Most importantly, Sooyoung also helped her out. The couple quickly grasped onto the details of the two rich boys and found records of their time spent in drug rehabilitation facilities.

More importantly, Sooyoung also found hints pointing to the possibility that they were back in the habit. From what he heard, they were currently looking for a seller.

They were much too brave. Whose industry did they think they were in? Taeyeon was firm on his opinion against artists doing drugs. He had zero tolerance!

So many police sacrificed their lives every year in the war against drugs. Who was going to bring them back to life?

So, it didn't take long before Tiffany held the evidence she wanted in her hands. After all, she had access to the best information resource.

"Fany unnie...what do you plan on doing now?"

"I will have to wait and see what the three boys plan to do. As long as they leave Min-ho alone, I'll let the police handle it quietly. But...if they do anything, I will have no choice but to teach them a lesson." Tiffany paused for a moment and continued, "It will also be a lesson for Min-ho."

"It's your birthday that day, though..."

"It's not as important as protecting Min-ho."

Since she had promised her mother to take care of him, this was her responsibility...

"What if Yun-ho does something wrong?" Se-ra queried.

"We will talk about it when it happens... To be honest, I've heard him sing and it is really not bad. So, I'm looking forward to hearing him perform on Wednesday."

After speaking, Tiffany looked at herself in the mirror and laughed, "Actually, I haven't been a good sister or daughter in the past. Before I have children with Taeyeon, I want to play out these roles properly. I hope the child we have in the future will be optimistic, diligent and have a healthy mind and body."

"Have you decided when you would have children?"

"I'm thinking the end of the year. I'm turning 27 and Taeyeon is already 33; it's time we should have a child," Tiffany replied.

"Does President Kim know this?"

"He always understands me without me saying anything," Tiffany smiled as she continued to remove her makeup.

Of course, Tiffany's words changed Se-ra's opinion of her once again.

Before meeting Tiffany, she had thought she was just like any other celebrity: eating, drinking and playing around all day. She assumed, since she had a lot of money, food and clothes wouldn't be an issue. As a result, she would live quite a shallow life.

But, after getting to know her, she realized she was a person filled with emotion.

She seemed quiet, but she maintained her strength. On the surface she appeared weak, but in reality, she knew exactly who her friends and enemies were.

That's how she gained Taeyeon's adoration...

A person should be able to handle both highs and lows.

...

This time, the set was located in a rainforest. As the conditions were harsh and it was night time, it didn't take long before Tiffany and Yuri ran out of energy to continue.

Because of standing continuously under the rain, Yuri ended up with a fever.

Sooyeon ran around taking care of him, handing him medicine and an ice pack. In his fuzzy-minded state, Yuri saw Sooyeon and mumbled, "If I knew you'd be this worried, I should have a caught a fever a few more times."

"Stop joking," Sooyeon punched him in the chest.

"Are you going to keep me company tonight?" Yuri asked pitifully as he sat in his chair, looking nothing like a 30-something-year-old man.

"If I don't keep you company, who would? If I wasn't your assistant, what would you have done?"

"I still would have had to deal with it even if your on my own."

These words somehow tugged at Sooyeon's heartstrings, so her voice softened, "Won't you feel lonely with no family or friends by your side? Humans are social animals; it is impossible for someone to spend their entire life on their own - unless their ill."

Sooyeon understood this feeling well; only illness had the ability to push everyone away. Apart from this, there was no other reason why a person would prefer to be on their own.

"It's cause I can't be bothered!" After speaking, Yuri closed his eyes and did not say another word.

Sooyeon still had a lot of questions: why did Yuri insist on her being his assistant? Why couldn't he be bothered to do anything?

And if he couldn't be bothered to do anything, then why was he so serious when it came to acting?

He definitely had a story to tell! Sooyeon was certain.

But, what could she do to make him open up to her?

In the middle of the night, Yuri suddenly started shaking uncontrollably. Sooyeon was so frightened that she immediately covered him with a blanket.

Yuri took advantage of the moment to pull Sooyeon in for a hug, but she reacted with a slap across the face, almost breaking his nose.

"How could you take advantage of having a fever to get a hug, jerk!"

"How did you know I was fine?" Yuri complained as he held onto his nose.

"You were overacting too much!"

"Really? Then I need to hold back a little next time," Yuri took a deep breath and laid back down. "I've seriously got a headache, I'm not lying."

"When you got sick in the past, who took care of you?"

Hearing this question, Yuri flipped over and mumbled, "You're disturbing my sleep... Go out."

"You moody b*stard."

But, the more he acted this way, the more Sooyeon was certain...

...he definitely had a secret.

...

It didn't take long before Tuesday night came around. On this day, filming stretched on late into the night, but Taeyeon arrived early and waited patiently on set. He wanted to be the first person to wish his wife a happy birthday as soon as the clock struck midnight.

Tiffany completed her filming. Seeing Taeyeon's noble figure in the distance, she immediately ran over and placed a kiss on his cheek, "My first kiss after turning 27 is for my most loved."

"Mrs. Kim, I am here to present myself to you," Taeyeon took the opportunity to hug her waist and continued, "Will you accept this gift?"

"I thought I'd receive jewelry or a diamond ring..."

"I thought you'd be more pleased with my stamina."

Tiffany joined Taeyeon in laughter. The couple's affection quickly attracted the attention of the cast and crew, especially Yuri...

His eyes glowed as he observed them...

"Fany unnie, happy birthday!" the crew cheered.

"Tiffany, happy birthday!" Suho also said as he smiled at her. He raised a thumb at her, "My present for you, is to give you a day off. Do you feel the love?"

"Thank you," Tiffany pulled away from Taeyeon's embrace and bowed to everyone, "Thank you everyone. Is it OK for us to leave now?"

"Hurry and get going, President Kim has been waiting for you in anticipation..." the staff teased. Unbeknownst to her, they had all placed gifts in her room. But, she wouldn't find out until she returned.

Even Yuri, under the coercion of Sooyeon, unwillingly prepared a gift for her. It currently sat amongst the huge pile in her room.

Of course, the biggest present was still Min-ho's performance on stage...

However, this music-filled night, was destined to be different from normal...

After returning home, it was already 3am the next day. As she pushed open the bedroom door, Tiffany was greeted with a floor covered in rose petals.

She was a bit surprised. A moment later, Taeyeon approached from behind and wrapped her in a hug.

"Do you like it?"

Looking down at the candles on the floor and then up at the present sitting on top of the bedside table, Tiffany nodded her head, "I haven't been home in a while and the hotel bed has been hard and lonely."

Taeyeon carried Tiffany in his arms and placed her on top of the bed. He pressed his body on top of hers as his deep and sexy voice resounded in her ear,

"Madam, it's bad for a man to resist his desires for so long. You need to make up for it."

Tiffany giggled as she lifted her head and pressed her lips against Taeyeon's...

The passionate fire in the room was lit.

Perhaps it was because of the fragrance in the room, or perhaps it was because they hadn't been alone together for a long time, the couple's entangled bodies moved together intensely. Afterwards, they hugged each other for quite some time, unable to calm down.

"Give me your right hand."

"Huh?" Tiffany lifted her hand curiously.

Taeyeon let go of Tiffany and turned around to grab the box sitting on top of the bedside table. He then pulled out a pair of gold bracelets from the box.

"This is the last remaining set designed by the international jewelry designer, Lisa. There is only one set in the entire world. The design isn't extremely special, but it has a lovely meaning: 'Together Forever'. This was originally a present from Lisa to her husband. It was auctioned off in London and eventually ended up in my hands. I am now giving it to you."

This was created by Lisa in her later years. At that time, she was already old and had bad eyesight, so she could no longer create extremely detailed pieces. As a result, apart from making the bracelets resemble vines, she didn't do anything else to them.

"They're beautiful," Tiffany cheered. She imagined how vines intertwined with each other and did not separate.

Taeyeon helped Tiffany put on the bracelet and then Tiffany helped Taeyeon put on the matching one. Afterwards, the couple clasped their hands, leaned on each other and chatted the night away.

"At the end of this year, I will take you to meet my grandfather."

"Why at the end of this year?"

"Weren't you thinking of having kids at the end of the year?" Taeyeon smiled. Let's finish filming and get everything in order.
By the end of the year, when your career is steady and you take home some awards, we can go home and present my grandfather with news of a child. He will be extra happy."

"Did Se-ra tell you what I was thinking?" Tiffany asked suspiciously, "And why can't me meet him now?"

"I don't want my family to hassle you about having a child and make things difficult for you. Would you be willing to have them pester you every 2-3 days about quitting your job? Since we are already on this path, I will walk with you until the end..."

In reality, Tiffany had indeed worried about this before. If they went to meet with the Kim Family and they didn't like what she was currently doing, what would she do?

Taeyeon knew it was likely that she would give up everything for his sake.

But, in his heart, fulfilling her dream and satisfying his family need not clash. So he thoughtfully gave them a bit more time.

"Hubby, you sure are good to me."

"You've only just realized? It seems I will need to treat you even better in future."

Tiffany lay on Taeyeon's chest as she absorbed his unique fragrance. This birthday was enough to make her forget all the past unhappy ones and her life felt like it had been reborn with new meaning and hope.

This man who had helped her with her career, given her a second chance at life and given her happiness, she was going to do all she could to keep him forever by her side...

...

The next day, plenty of friends showed up to give their birthday wishes. Sunny also delivered a whole pile of presents. Shin hye was overseas in France, so she sent over a video with her well wishes. As for Bo-ah, she took the morning off and went over to Hyatt Regency to prepare breakfast for her daughter.

"Taeyeon and I prepared half each. These are all your favorite food. Now that you don't need to appear on the runway, eat a bit more. It's OK for you to gain a bit of weight."

Tiffany looked at the huge spread of food and couldn't contain her tears, "Really?"

"Yes, from now on, don't hold back. You can eat whatever you want," Taeyeon said as he stroked the back of her head.

On the outside world, she was a strong and independent woman, but in front of Taeyeon and Bo-ah, she was a simple little woman who was doted on.

"From now on, mom will come celebrate your birthday with you every year."

At this moment, Taeyeon reached into his pocket, pulled out a gift box and handed it to Bo-ah, "Mom, this is for you."

Bo-ah was stunned as she smiled, "I also get a present?"

"Her birthday is also a celebration of your motherhood. Thank you for bringing her into my life."

Bo-ah opened the box. Sitting inside was a precious-looking Jade bangle. She quickly closed it back up,

"Taeyeon, mom should be the one to thank you for showing Tiffany so much love. I can see that you treat her as important as your own life. I hope you can continue living happily together. For this to happen, I would be happy to sacrifice anything."

"OK...enough talking. Today is Tiffany's birthday. After breakfast, go wherever you guys need to go, I need to return to Hwang Corp. for a meeting."

"Mom...are you getting used to being in charge at Hwang Corp.?"

"Your mom did, after all, study finance. Although I haven't worked for many years, my knowledge is still there. It's just..." Bo-ah suddenly paused and took back her words, "Don't worry, if there's
