Feeling her gaze, he looked at Sori.
“Why, is something wrong?”
Sori shook her head.
“I’ll wake you up when we get there.”
His voice was warm, contrary to his expression.
Sori closed her eyes slightly, thinking it was somewhat fortunate.
An urge from an unknown source kept shaking her.
If she really was sick, shouldn’t she not confess?
So if she wants to confess, shouldn’t she do it before she knows her condition accurately?
But she didn’t know how to express this overflowing emotion, which she couldn’t explain accurately, to him.
Whether it was due to the quickened blood flow from the alcohol or because Seo Hyun Woo was next to her.
Her heart was pounding, making a racket.
Even if she closed her eyes, she couldn’t sleep.
The taxi had stopped without her realizing it.
Sori opened her eyes. Her head was still spinning.
She got out of the taxi following him, who had completed the payment.
Sori swayed sideways, unable to maintain her balance.
Hyun Woo quickly caught her by the shoulders.
In that moment, strength drained from Sori’s body.
His tall figure stood firm, supporting Sori like a wall. She leaned her head on his shoulder.
The asphalt ground spun around.
“How much did you drink?”
A low voice echoed, resonating from the chest she was leaning against.
“Try to stand up straight.”
His slightly stern voice was enough to scare Sori.
But due to her drunkenness, her senses seemed paralyzed.
If she was going to get scolded anyway.
“Just a moment. Just a bit.”
With her dizzy eyes closed, she leaned her forehead against his chest.
Sori wished that time would stop at this moment.
Fortunately, he neither pushed her away nor got angry. He quietly waited for Sori.
How many minutes had passed?
Sori slowly detached herself from him and stood up straight.
Now it was her turn to listen to his rebuke.
Her prepared head fell abruptly to the ground.
“I’m sorry.”
“What are you sorry for?”
She still didn’t understand what she did wrong at the hospital…
However, it seemed she had already crossed many lines that a resident should not cross with a professor.
At the end of her downcast gaze, she saw his moving hand.
For a moment, Sori slightly flinched.
His hand stopped at the lapel of her coat. He neatly closed her open lapel.
His indifferent touch was warm.
“Are you really sober?”
No.
She was not sober at this moment.
“If you drink all the alcohol you’re given, then what?”
He took a long breath in the air, but there was no more words.
Was it over with that one statement?
Sori, still dizzy, slowly raised her confused head.
Above the tie knot, passing his Adam’s apple, a handsome jaw appeared. Her gaze lingered a bit on his healthy lips.
As she tilted her head back a bit more, her eyes met his.
“I…”
I really liked you. A lot.
Even though I know it’s not right now, I want to confess at least once.
“I am…”
But she couldn’t.
It wasn’t cold, but her voice trembled slightly.
He frowned slightly and took off his suit jacket.
He took a step closer and draped the jacket over Sori.
He bowed his head, and they were only half a foot apart.
“Get a hold of yourself. We need to go home.”
At that moment, Sori lifted her toes without realizing.
“Yu So Ri…”
At the moment when the soft, moist touch connected.
Her body felt numb, and her mind went white.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
