Chapter 139: 139 Confession - Part 3
After the earlier incident, Heero and Han Ying were forced to close the shop earlier than usual. Currently, Heero was sitting in the middle of his two wives, and on his opposite were the three Kang siblings.
Kang Seo-Yeon lowered her head in embarrassment as she did not dare to meet Heero's eyes. Since she arrived at Xing Hotpot and sat down there, her head hung low with her face flushed red.
Han Ying kept smiling with her gaze at the shy Kang Seo-Yeon. As for Hong Yu, she was confused as to why Myung-Hee's elder sister acted like this. She was oblivious to what happened in the shop.
Dong-Woo also lowered his head in embarrassment. After all, it was not her sister's fault if he explained the situation rather than looking at her sister in a daze. At that time, he was startled at her sister's presence.

Two hours ago
As Musashi Hirata and Kang Seo-Yeon faced each other and were on the verge of exploding, Sun Zhou Yi entered the stage.
"Hirata! Calm down, do you want to destroy Master's shop? Why is your temper so irritable when it comes to other people!"
Sun Zhou Yi truly felt Hirata who trained with him and Master was different when they met other people. The same thing happened at Ence Fort, at that time, he thought Hirata was angry because the group abandoned him in the dungeon.
It seemed it was not the case but this was the real Hirata. After saying that, Sun Zhou Yi turned toward Kang Seo-Yeon and spoke, "Miss Kang, please retract your power. You are scaring the customers!"
Looking at Sun Zhou Yi, Kang Seo-Yeon recalled what he said earlier.
Two words caught her attention, first, a masked man called Hirata. Second, Master's shop. Amongst `the two, the most important was the latter. Aside from checking her little brother and sister's condition, her purpose in coming here was to meet her prince and confess her feelings.
At this time, Heero came out of the kitchen. He did not come to the three, but his customers. He bowed his head as he apologized, "I am sorry for the inconvenience, but today I will close the shop earlier today."
Having said that, the customers nodded understandingly as they left. By this time, the temperature had returned to normal but Kang Seo-Yeon was staring at Heero in a daze.
She was shocked to find out the prince she was looking for, working as an owner of a noodle shop. Not only that, but she also witnessed with her own eyes her prince made the noodle by himself. The prince she had been looking for was a cook in a noodle shop in the outer region.
Amongst many scenarios in her mind, never crossed her mind her prince was a cook. After that, Sun Zhou Yi gave her a clear explanation of where Dong-Woo's wounds came from. For the second time, she was shocked again.
It was certainly shocking to find out that her little brother was Sun Zhou Yi's junior brother, but after she overcame the shock, she blushed, in embarrassment but was also overjoyed at the same time.
Kang Seo-Yeon was overjoyed that her little brother was her prince's disciple. She had witnessed herself, how strong her prince was. But she was also embarrassed for disturbing the shop's business.
"Alright, let Dong-Woo take his medicine bath first. We will talk later."
That was how the awkward situation ended.

'No… No… No… I can't keep this going… How are you going to confess if you don't dare to meet his eyes? Come one, Seo-Yeon, you can do this…' Kang Seo-Yeon encouraged herself to calm her flushed heart.
She looked up and braced herself to meet Heero's eyes. Her bravado was rewarded with a gentle smile, making her face even redder than before. Not only a gentle smile, but she also received a menu and a pleasant voice to hear.
"Here is the menu, you can order what you want, it's my treat!"
Ba-dump! Badump! Badump!
This caused Kang Seo-Yeon to hear her heartbeat. Somewhat flustered, her hand moved as fast as lightning, taking the menu from Heero's hand. After that, she thanked Heero in a lowered voice, "Tha--Thank you!"
After that, she buried her head into the menu, but her thought was not on the menu. At this time, she remembered her conversation with Myung-Hee earlier this afternoon.
"Men look handsome when they are working…"
'No, you are wrong, Myung-Hee. Even though he is not working, he is still handsome!!!'
As for Myung-Hee, she was ignoring her elder sister. Her focus was only on the menu in her hand. She and Shen Miao discussed what they wanted to eat tonight.
For the dinner, Kang Seo-Yeon followed her little brother's recommendation. Her mind was not on the food, but the man in front of her. However, that did not last long when the dish she ordered arrived.
As soon as the meat entered her mouth, she completely forgot about her embarrassment. Her flustered heart also calmed down as she devoured the food. The most delicious hotpot she ever had in twenty-four years of her life.
An hour later, Kang Seo-Yeon finished her third serving. She just could not stop eating after the first piece of meat entered her mouth. As she finished the last piece of meat, she noticed Heero was smiling at her.
Only then did she realize, except for her, everyone at the table had finished eating and she was the last one. Everyone was waiting for her, and although ashamed inside, Kang Seo-Yeon managed to keep her calm. She calmly wiped her mouth and drank the tea, then she faced Heero.
"Do you still want more?" Heero asked politely.
"No, I have enough…" Kang Seo-Yeon shook her head. 'There's no way I will eat more with you right in front of my face…'
"Hmm, then let's talk now. You want to say something to me, right?" Heero nodded and continued to the main talk. This was the reason he did not get his other disciples to join because of this talk.
Kang Seo-Yeon fell silent when Heero brought this topic up. After knowing his little brother and little sister lived with Sun Zhou Yi's Master, she changed her mind to bring the two back with her. Especially now with his little brother who learned under the same Master as Sun Zhou Yi.
Myung-Hee and Dong-Woo looked at their elder sister. Dong-Woo was especially conflicted, if her sister wanted to bring him back, he would not resist if it was his sister. At the same time, he did not want to leave, he wanted to stay here and continue his training.
But the silence did not last long as she concluded, "Please, let my sister and brother stay with you! I know my request is somewhat…"
"Oh, okay!" Heero readily agreed which baffled Kang Seo-Yeon.
Kang Seo-Yeon had her mouth opened with half of her sentence stuck in her throat. Now, she did not know what to say, except for bowing her head and saying thanks, "Thank you, I will pick them up after I settle everything at home!"
Dong-Woo was relieved, with her sister's consent, that he did not need to worry about the second force coming to forcefully pick him just like in the afternoon. Myung-Hee, however, showed a different reaction.
"Sister, why don't you stay here as well? We can stay here together~" Myung-Hee voiced her thoughts. At home, she barely met her parents and her sister was pretty busy as well with missions issued by the Hero League.
Even so, her sister was completely different from her parents. In her spare time or break, Kang Seo-Yeon would spend it playing with her.
"It's a good idea. But this place might not be as good as in the core region…"
"It's easy, we can renovate it to your taste." Han Ying, who was always listening from the sideline, opened her mouth. She also felt Myung-Hee's idea was good for the three siblings.
"Hmm, I may consider it, but I can't move now. Fighter Anteriority is near, I am going to be busy for the next three months…"
Upon hearing this, Myung-Hee was disappointed. She tried to hide her disappointment, but Kang Seo-Yeon noticed, "Heh, don't worry, I can't bear to separate from my princess too long. I will visit you often later,"
Kang Seo-Yeon rubbed Myung-Hee's hair with a gentle smile formed on her lips as she promised to visit.
Different from Myung-Hee, Dong-Woo instead had an excited look on his face. "Sister, is there a change for the Junior Fighter Anteriority?" He excitedly asked her sister.
Dong-Woo planned to join the junior competition in the Fighter Anteriority. This was his first step toward proving to his father that even without Kang Family's resources, he could grow stronger.
With that said, Dong-Woo and Kang Seo-Yeon had their conversations regarding the Fighter Anteriority. Sometimes, Myung-Hee would say one or two encouraging words for her brother.
Looking at the three siblings, Heero, Hong Yu, and Han Ying exchanged glances and nodded. Heero rose from his seat and said, "You guys can continue your talk, I am going to pay the bill."
The three planned to leave, letting the three siblings catch their time. But… Just as Heero turned around to leave the room, Kang Seo-Yeon also stood up and called, "Wait!"
"Yes!?" The three halted their steps and turned around.
"Ca-Can I have your time a bit… just two of us?" Kang Seo-Yeon did not want to miss this chance. She had not forgotten his purpose for coming here.
Ba-dump! Badump! Badump!
Once again, her heartbeat accelerated to the extent she could hear it.
"Hun!?" Heero was caught off guard at Kang Seo-Yeon's request. Her request also put him in an awkward situation, how could he agree to a hot woman's invitation before his wife? Of course, Kang Seo-Yeon was unaware the two women beside him were his wives.
Hong Yu did not think it much, she thought Kang Seo-Yeon wanted to talk about Dong-Woo and Myung-Hee. So, she nodded at Heero and brought the kids out with her, leaving Heero and Kang Seo-Yeon alone.
Heero nodded at Hong Yu and sat back in his seat, right on Kang Seo-Yeon's opposite. He was curious about what the girl wanted to talk about privately and as soon as his buttock touched the chair, he got the answer.
"I like you~ Marry me~!"
