His Spoiled Kitten || PJM ✔️ (ONGOING)

C1

After Kang Sa-ra learned that her parents were "Selling their daughters for glory," she hurried home.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw a mountain of gifts piled up by the door. She just stood there. She placed her hands on her hips and shouted loudly, "Dad! Mom! Come out and explain what this is!"

Hearing her voice, Kang Sa-ra's mother came over and poked Kang Sa-ra's flushed cheeks. "Look at you. You're in such a hurry. You don't look ladylike at all."

"If I didn't look ladylike you would've sold me off by now. Looking ladylike doesn't do me any favours either," Kang Sa-ra grumbled and kicked the presents that were in her way. Then, she angrily followed Mrs. Kang to the living room and sat down.

Mr. Kang sat a little ways away and drank his tea silently. His usual cheery face was full of worry. Even Kang Sa-ra's gentle and generous mother wore a worried expression. Kang Sa-ra rolled her eyes. She had just finished her final exams for her sophomore year. Before she could arrange her holiday itinerary, she heard that someone had come to her house to ask for her hand in marriage. Her parents had even accepted the betrothal gifts. Kang Sa-ra did not ask for details and just hurried home.

But now, it seemed that the situation was not quite what she had expected. No matter how she looked at it, her parents did not seem to be selling her for wealth.

"Dad, mom, those things..." Kang Sa-ra raised her chin at the gift mountain at the door and asked, "Who sent them?"

Mr. Kang glanced at her, put down the teacup, and sighed. "The Park family."

Who?! Whose family?! Kang Sa-ra was stunned. She sat on the sofa with a shocked expression, unable to move as if she had been struck by lightning. No wonder her parents were so worried. The Kang family certainly could not offend the Park family. In Seoul City, the Park family was a behemoth that could shake the country's economy with a single stomp.

"Today, a person who identified himself as the Park family's butler came to our house with gifts. He said that his master thinks that you are a perfect match for him and wants our families to join in marriage. He even made a lunch appointment for tomorrow. Your father and I wanted to refuse, but his demeanour was polite and uncompromising. He insisted on settling the matter. We didn't even have the chance to refuse." Mother Kang held Kang Sa-ra's hand, her well taken care of face was full of worry. "Sa-ra, tell me, why are you acquainted with the Park family? How could Old Master Park..."

Never mind Old Master Park, Kang Sa-ra had been so busy recently that she had barely even met any men!

"Mother, I have no relationship with the Park family, and I don't know Old Master Park." Kang Sa-ra cupped her chin as she thought. "As for what the Park family wants, we can just ask them tomorrow." In any case, with the Park family's influence, they had to attend the dinner, even if they did not want to.

Mr. Kang and Mrs. Kang looked at each other, their eyes filled with uncontrollable worry.

......

The next day, Kang Sa-ra and her parents arrived at the restaurant as promised. However, Kang Sa-ra's originally fair and tender little face was now covered with red scars and blemishes. When she grinned, one could see that two of her front teeth were missing. Her hair was messy and looked like it had not been washed in 800 years. Mrs. Kang was shocked when she saw her, and Old Master Park would no doubt have a worse reaction.

Mr. Kang coaxed Kang Sa-ra forward and introduced her to Old Master Park. "Old Master Park, this is my daughter, Kang Sa-ra."

Old Master Park's hair was white, and his face was full of wrinkles. He looked at Kang Sa-ra with a little doubt in his expression. "This... Are there any other girls in the Kang family who are of age?"
