“Oh, Team Leader Seo, isn’t it? It’s been a while.”
The noodle restaurant owner, who recognized her face, greeted her warmly.
“Have you been well?”
Yeeun also greeted warmly.
When they sat at a 2-person table in the corner of the store, the owner brought warm barley tea.
“Where does it hurt? Your eyes look swollen.”
Crying and walking, walking and crying.
She even felt the cold wind of early October, so it was enough to make her eyes swollen.
“I’m tired.”
“I should tell President Yoon to take it easy for Team Leader Seo. He’s even skinnier than last time. Tsk.”
The boss lightly clicked his tongue and walked back to the kitchen.
Then he checked the order.
“Half a bowl of noodles and half a plate of boiled pork, right?”
“Yes.”
Yeeun, smiling brightly, nodded and added another word.
“And a bottle of soju.”
“Half a bottle of soju won’t do.”
The boss, who jokingly threw the words, hid himself in the kitchen.
Regulars were nice like this.
Whenever she came here, the two of them, Jisoo and her, ordered a bowl of noodles, a plate of boiled pork, and shared a bottle of soju.
She had been coming here like that for years.
Yeeun, who held the barley tea on the table with both hands, melted her chilled hands with the chilly warmth.
This morning’s weather forecast came to mind.
Although it was early October, the temperature was quite low, so the pretty weather caster advised dressing warmly when going out.
Bringing a scarf would have been nice.
“I should have brought a scarf.”
Until a moment ago, she didn’t know it was cold, but as soon as she entered the restaurant, she shivered.
But when facing the warmth of barley tea like this, it felt cold enough to make her chin shake.
Her hands even trembled, and she spilled some tea while carrying the tea cup to her lips.
Even so, when she finished that one cup, the cold seemed to have gone.
When the bone-chilling cold that seemed to penetrate her bones disappeared, a drowsiness flooded in.
“Eat quickly and go home to rest… I have to go again.”
At least, her body was too tired.
She came back home at dawn, took a nap for about two hours, and went back to the company again.
She was holding onto physical fatigue with mental strength, but that too was crumbling.
Since the night was long, and she was going to do that all night long, it wouldn’t be a breach of promise to go late.
So, let’s see Cha Doha’s face as late as possible.
That way, the collapsed mind might recover.
After a while, the boss brought the food on a tray.
Putting the food on the table with a regretful face, he muttered a few words.
“Eat and go home to rest. Looking at your face, you might collapse.”
“Thank you.”
Smiling and expressing her gratitude, Yeeun picked up the chopsticks and thought about the noodles.
The restaurant door opened with a loud noise.
Feeling the cold wind on her back, she shrank her shoulders, and as she entered the restaurant, her body shivered.
“Welcome.”
“How much is it?”
About to turn around, Yeeun froze in place.
Even the voice asking how much was a voice she knew.
“What?
About to turn around, Yeeun froze in place.
Even the voice asking how much was a voice she knew.
“Yes?”
Suddenly asked, the startled boss replied, and her voice deepened.
“The woman eating. How much is that?”
“No, what is this about…”
There was no need even to think that.
This scent, this voice, clearly belonged to Cha Doha.
Yeeun, who swallowed dry saliva, slowly turned around.
When she turned her head, she met his black eyes and gaze. Once again, a cold chill flowed.
He, who stared at her coldly, took out a banknote from his wallet and threw it down on the counter as if paying.
Then, extending his long legs, he walked towards her, snatching chopsticks from her hand.
“Division Head!”
“I’m hungry too.”
As if throwing chopsticks, he put them on the table and lifted Yeeun.
“I left the Inspirations and came out to eat with you.”
Standing close to her, he grabbed her and raised his voice, lowering his tone.
“So stop the nonsense and follow me.”
It was an angry voice.
His black eyes were full of anger.
Veins bulged angrily on the back of her hand as he held it.
While following Cha Doha, who was dragging her out of the restaurant, Yeeun… quietly laughed.
Although it seemed like she should be angry, it was just good without any hurry.
The misery that had been pressing heavily also disappeared like melting snow.
Cha Doha, who found her even in this unfamiliar place, was even grateful.
Maybe he wished for him to find her.
This should be enough.
A reason to return to his bed tonight.
Sufficient excuse to desire him based on his desire.
Looking at his hand holding hers, Yeeun also subtly tightened her grip.
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
