Da Hyun mentally erased any embarrassing thoughts that had floated to the surface.
Da Hyun cleared her throat, moistening her dry lips. Her heart was racing, almost bursting.
“Even if you say no then, I won’t let go.”
She felt a deep thirst within, gradually being captivated by Min Hyuk.
She forgot that Min Hyuk, usually gentle, could sometimes be overwhelmingly enticing.
Frozen in place, Da Hyun couldn’t close her eyes to Min Hyuk’s soft voice.
Her focus wavered uncontrollably. She felt today might lead to an unforeseen event.
Da Hyun covered her belly, feeling a wave of warmth spreading through her body. She swallowed cautiously, Min Hyuk’s face close enough to hear her gulp.
“Honey, your face looks like it’s about to burst.”
Min Hyuk stroked her hair, the term ‘honey’ making her eyes widen. Though they were a couple, the word felt strange and ticklish.
“Min Hyuk, was there something at work? You’re not yourself, it’s very suspicious.”
Despite her racing heart, Da Hyun tried to sound calm, changing the topic. She might already seem flustered, but she strived to maintain composure.
Min Hyuk, noticing her emotions, kindly responded to her question.
“What does my work have to do with us? You’re my priority. The company doesn’t matter. I plan to become independent.”
Once everything was over.
He swallowed the rest of his words.
“Independent?”
Da Hyun barely clung to her waning sanity, intrigued by Min Hyuk’s future plans.
“Yeah.”
“When?”
“I’m not sure when.”
“Never really interested in HG Group, huh?”
Min Hyuk laughed hollowly. Da Hyun, guessing this, relaxed her grip around her belly.
“Right. I wasn’t interested. I needed a reason to marry you. Sorry for deceiving you.”
“It’s okay if you know you’re sorry.”
Min Hyuk tilted his head back slightly, frowning. He hadn’t expected Da Hyun not to question why he deceived her.
“Aren’t you angry?”
“Mad about the lie, yes. But you said it was for my sake. What can I do? You like me too much.”
Da Hyun said sharply. Min Hyuk shook his head lightly, feeling a prickling sensation in his neck.
“I’m hiding something even worse from you now.”
Would she understand and forgive him if she knew?
“Min Hyuk.”
“What should I do? I desperately want to kiss you right now.”
Min Hyuk’s index finger trailed up to her chin, lifting it as their faces tilted closer, noses brushing.
Da Hyun couldn’t resist the pull and closed her eyes. A jolt ran through her body as his lips lightly touched hers.
As the soft touch was felt, Min Hyuk slightly parted his lips.
On the brink of losing his self-control.
Ring-ring[Dash] Ring-ring[Dash]
The sound of a bell interrupted them.
Before their lips could fully meet, Min Hyuk stopped moving.
It was the ringtone of Min Hyuk’s cell phone.
Da Hyun, with her eyes closed, was startled by the sound and abruptly opened her eyes.
Min Hyuk frowned, releasing his grip on Da Hyun’s chin.
Da Hyun immediately hung her head down.
Overwhelmed with embarrassment, she hastily stepped aside.
“Min Hyuk, I’ll go upstairs first.”
Without looking at Min Hyuk’s face, she hurriedly walked through the corridor and up the stairs, almost as if fleeing.
Min Hyuk couldn’t hold her back.
He almost lost control, nearly causing an accident. He tried to maintain his rationality but failed, seeking solace in Da Hyun’s embrace.
Realizing what he had almost done, Min Hyuk leaned his head back.
The soft sensation of Da Hyun’s lips lingered in his mind.
If it weren’t for the intrusive ringtone, he might have pushed her against the wall by now, deeply savoring her lips.
Realizing he hadn’t removed his coat, Min Hyuk took out his cell phone from its pocket.
He saw an unfamiliar number and was about to ignore it but hesitated at the familiar last four digits.
“0702.”
Though the middle numbers had changed, someone used those last digits two years ago as well.
Remembering who it was, Min Hyuk’s face turned cold.
The heat of the moment rapidly faded away.
“Kim Yeon Woo.”
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.
