Han Ji-eun’s expression changed. She never expected, in front of an elder, she’d be taught a lesson by someone younger than her.

The professor noticed the change in Han Ji-eun’s expression, so…

…he quickly wrapped things up, “This has nothing to do with Ji-eun! It’s this old man’s fault for not minding his own business.”

“If you don’t want to listen to my advice, then ignore it.”

“As a younger member of the family, you should be more considerate of your elders. How could you be so selfish?”

“Plus, you were originally a model, not an actress. So, what’s wrong with making a change to your career?”

Hearing this, Tiffany felt that the professor’s reasoning was quite ridiculous. Just as she was about to respond, a low voice suddenly resounded from behind them,

“It’s my decision whether she is an actress or not. When have you guys ever had any say in it?”

“If you have similar issues like this in the future, you can directly speak to me, because I am her manager. More importantly, not only will she remain as an actress, I will make sure that she wins an award for Best Actress.”

“If Grandfather Li has so much spare time, he should spend more time caring for his own children and grandchildren. I heard that your son got into a fight a couple of days ago and is still being detained, so let’s not trouble you with the Kim Family’s affairs.”

The old man’s face turned red and white in embarrassment. But, he had no way of refuting against Taeyeon’s words. He could only glow red in anger as he looked away.

“Taeyeon…Grandfather Li merely said a few words. Have you forgotten how much the professor cared for you in the past?”

“When I was sick, he treated me and I gave him money. It was his job to provide me with his service,” Taeyeon directly entered the office and helped Tiffany up from the sofa. “I will be taking Fany with me. Don’t even dream of taking Fany anywhere with you from now on.”

After speaking, the couple turned and left decisively. At this time, Professor Li asked, “Is this entertainer more important than your mother?”

“After what she did today, what do you think?” Taeyeon did not turn around, but his voice had a sense of awkwardness.

“Also, I forgot to tell you, Grandfather Li. If I organize for your son to remain detained for a few more days, you won’t have any rejections, right?”

The professor’s expression changed.

“I haven’t even doted on my wife enough yet. How could I allow others to make her suffer?”

“Since you don’t know how to respect your elders, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”

“Everyone knows that I dote on my wife. I’m not just messing around…”

“Who gave you the courage to flaunt your seniority in front of me?”

It was obvious that Taeyeon was holding back his anger at this moment.

So, Tiffany tugged on his shirt and said, “Let’s go. There’s no point wasting your breath. It’s not like I agreed to his request anyway.”

Han Ji-eun simply watched as Taeyeon and Tiffany left. She did not look pleased; she had never expected that Taeyeon would dote on his wife to this extent.

“Ji-eun, your coming days don’t look great,” the old professor scoffed. He was too arrogant to take Taeyeon’s words seriously, “If you don’t teach them properly, this woman might end up destroying the Kim Family.”

Han Ji-eun did not respond. Her eyes simply glazed over with an icy coldness.

…

On the way home, Taeyeon scanned Tiffany up and down; he was afraid that she may have been injured in some way. He had been traumatized by all the previous times that Tiffany had been schemed against.

“I’m fine,” Tiffany said as she held onto Taeyeon’s hand, “I’m perfectly fine.”

“In future, if she invites you somewhere that you don’t want to go, regardless of the circumstances, you can directly reject her,” Taeyeon was obviously still upset by the way that the old professor had humiliated Tiffany.

Tiffany nodded her head. However, she suddenly remembered the other issue at hand: Han Ji-eun had tried to find out the gender of her baby. So, she quickly recalled the entire situation to Taeyeon.

After Tiffany was done, Taeyeon did not respond for quite some time. He simply placed his hand on top of Tiffany’s protruding belly, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the magical connection between him and his child.

“Noted.”

What he meant by this simple word was that Tiffany did not need to get involved, he was going to find a capable person to investigate this matter in detail.

“No matter what she wants to do and what she plans to do, you don’t need to be afraid…”

“Have I ever been afraid?” Tiffany’s lips curved slightly as she leaned her head against Taeyeon’s chest.

Taeyeon lowered his head. Just as he was about to place a kiss atop her ink-black hair, Tiffany’s phone interrupted his intended action.

As soon as she noticed that it was a phone call from Sunny, Tiffany immediately sat up and answered.

It had been a long time since she last saw Sunny, so she wondered how she was doing.

“Tiffany…” Sunny was cheery as usual. However, she sounded slightly on guard, “Where are you right now? Is Boss there with you?”

“Of course he is,” Tiffany nodded.

“Great, then I’ll just go ahead with what I want to say. It’s like this, a famous French director is currently in Seoul auditioning for an oriental actress. It is for a drama that will be produced early next year. Plenty of famous actress are vying for the role. I asked the director’s assistant if it’s OK for you to audition even though you are pregnant and he said he doesn’t mind; it is common for foreign actresses to do that. So, do you want to give it a try? I was too afraid to ask Sooyoung about it, so I directly came to you,” Sunny said quietly into the phone.

“You must have heard how dramas with multiple seasons are in trend right now. So, the popular drama ‘The Headless Doctress’ that everyone has been fighting for a role in, is currently preparing for its third season!”

Tiffany let out a laugh, “Are you that afraid of Sooyoung?”

“Sooyoung doesn’t want me to affect your pregnancy…but…I think I’m actually your lucky charm. For example, a while ago, if you hadn’t come with me to do a medical exam, you wouldn’t have known that you were pregnant. If you hadn’t known, then you wouldn’t have discovered Hwang Na-ri’s scheme.”

Taking this into consideration, Sunny was indeed lucky.

“Let me think about it.”

“In that case, I’ll first forward you an email with information regarding the drama, as well as a copy of the script.”

“OK,” Tiffany nodded with a smile.

Seeing the look on Tiffany’s face, Taeyeon grabbed the phone from her hand and hugged her tightly, “What trouble is Sunny causing this time?”

“She has helped me obtain a big-name resource. Do you still remember the French drama ‘The Headless Doctress’? The director is currently preparing for season three and he is looking for an oriental actress. So…”

“So you want to give it a try?” Taeyeon raised his brows slightly. “It’s not that you can’t go, but we need to make sure that it will not affect your body. If you need to do any action scenes, then there is no way I will let you go.”

“I’ll get Sunny to forward you some information first. If you allow it, then I’ll go to the audition.”

Audition…

Because of her pregnancy, it had been a long time since she satisfied her craving to act. So, Taeyeon understood how she felt.

“However, mom is not going to be comfortable with this?”

“She was the one that made you feel uncomfortable first.”

Taeyeon’s protectiveness was frightening, but Tiffany wasn’t going to back down either, “From now on, I will deal with matters like this on my own. I can’t expect my husband to make an appearance every single time. Otherwise, people may misunderstand you.”

Taeyeon held onto Tiffany’s hand and gently placed a kiss on the back of it, “There are plenty of people that misunderstand me. But, all I need is for my wife to love me and I am satisfied.”

They both doted on each other equally…

This was something that an average couple couldn’t do, because most people were selfish.

For the sake of one’s pride, some people could give up on their lover; for the sake of their career, they could also give up on their lover. Some people were bound to find a plethora of excuses to do something that they knew they were bound to regret for the rest of their lives.

…

Perhaps to create hype, the French director immediately leaked information about Tiffany attending the auditions as soon as he found out the possibility.

[Rumors abound: Tiffany to attend auditions. Is she making a comeback?]

[Heavily pregnant, yet attending auditions: Netizens diss Tiffany for being too reckless]

…

At this moment, the Netizens were amidst heated discussions.

_“I just asked a friend for a copy of the drama. I would like to say that the brainless female zombie doctor is very similar to Tiffany. They are both so cool.”

_“Oh God, if we get to see Tiffany with her hair curled, wearing a leather mini skirt and holding a gun, how cool would that be.”

_“Tiffany, hurry and audition! You need to secure the role!”

Taeyeon had only just received Sunny’s email. Of course, there was nothing to worry about when it came to a big production like this. But…

…who could guarantee that Tiffany was going to be 100% safe?

Even though she already had insurance on her legs, it seemed, other parts of her body now needed it too.

“President, my wife has caused you trouble. Initially, the Madam didn’t need to know about this,” Sooyoung said apologetically as he looked at the frustrated expression on Taeyeon’s face.

“Since it was your wife, what else can I do?” Taeyeon put down the information in his hands and looked at Sooyoung. “Go do some research into the director’s character and habits. I’m sure there will be quite a lot of people attending the auditions, so safety is the main priority.”

“I understand, President.”

“Why don’t we have the date and time of the auditions yet?” Taeyeon flipped through the papers, but couldn’t find this important piece of information.

“Sunny is currently asking them for it. She will SMS Tiffany about it soon,” Sooyoung quickly replied.

“Let’s just leave it at that then.”

“By the way President, I heard that your mother doesn’t like actors.”

Hearing this, Taeyeon lifted his head and looked at Sooyoung intimidatingly, warning him that matters like this had never been of his concern.

Sooyoung was only being nice, so he had no choice but to feel wronged as he left the office.
