“Have you come?”
As soon as Taeseo entered the main house, Joyuri greeted him. Yoori, dressed relatively comfortably, welcoming him like the head of the household, looked so natural that Jaein’s forehead wrinkled involuntarily.
“What is it?”
“I brought a coat.”
“Are you crazy?”
Avoiding Yoori, who reached out towards his coat, Taeseo leaned back, tilting his head. The irritation on his face was filled with discomfort.
After a moment of confusion, Yoori bit her lip, then tentatively extended her hand to Taeseo. Her face turned red.
“Please take off the coat.”
“Why should I give my coat to Ms. Joyuri?”
“Well…”
Taeseo took off his coat and, holding it in his hand, scrutinized Yoori from top to bottom as if she were insane. Then, suddenly, he turned his gaze, scanning the living room. The people who should have been in the entrance, including Director Jung, who supervised the entire house, and Madam Hwang, who managed the kitchen, were nowhere to be seen.
“Director Jung.”
At his rather small call, the elderly Director Jung, who seemed unfamiliar, appeared quickly from the kitchen and stood in front of Taeseo.
“You’ve come, you’ve come…”
“Yes. Please prepare some clothes for me.”
“Oh, yes.”
Director Jung, who seemed somewhat inexperienced, turned his body holding Taeseo’s coat. However, even in that brief moment, Taeseo’s eyes caught something unusual, not me, but Yoori looking out of the corner of her eyes.
“Ha…”
Only then did Taeseo’s lips release a new smile. Yoori had been in this house for just half a day. It was unbelievable how she had taken control of the people who had worked in the house for over 30 years in such a short time.
“Ms. Joyuri, why are you here?”
“It’s quite cold outside, isn’t it? Madam Hwang, please prepare dinner quickly.”
“Why are you here?”
Taeseo’s sharp gaze made Yoori tremble, and she nervously twisted the tips of her nails.
“Ms. Joyuri, do you have no shame?”
“…”
“I thought you were a strong person who wouldn’t lose your pride no matter where you went. Why are you here? What are you trying to do?”
“Taeseo, I’m just… I’m just trying to find my place. Everyone knows. I’m engaged to Taeseo…”
“Disgusting, really.”
As if he didn’t want to face her anymore, Taeseo turned toward the kitchen. Passing by Mrs. Hwang, who stood helplessly in front of the soup pot, he opened the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of water, drinking it in one go.
Even after a few more sips to quell the lingering nausea, he turned around. Facing Joyuri, who had followed him into the kitchen, the unpleasant feeling couldn’t be helped.
“Father will be a little late, so the two of us should have dinner first…”
“Ha, Father?”
Laughing at Yoori’s audacity to call Chairman Kang Shinjae “Father,” it was even more amusing since it resembled a term of address, “Father,” which Taeseo had never heard even once in his over thirty years of life.
“I have a weak stomach to sit and eat with someone I find disgusting.”
“Di, Disgusting…?”
“To the point of giving me chills.”
In response to the disgraceful treatment, Joyuri’s body stiffened like a statue, trembling. Whether she said anything or not, Taeseo turned his body and headed to the living room.
He didn’t want to mix words anymore. Whether Yoori stared at him with large eyes from behind or not, it didn’t matter.
“Father!”
Running up from behind, Yoori clung to his arm, but Taeseo’s gaze, as he forcefully pulled her hand away, was fierce. If Yoori had been a bit less audacious, he might have scared her away on her own.
“…Father approved it.”
“What did he approve?”
“He acknowledged me as Taeseo’s marriage partner…”
So, this was it after all. The situation my father had prepared for me turned out to be something like this, making a few curses slip through Taeseo’s lips involuntarily.
Taeseo, who spat out his words, chewing and spitting out Yoori, was being observed by Yoori with round eyes, almost as if in ecstasy.
“I don’t acknowledge you.”
“…Meeting Yoon Jaein, I understand. Keep it a secret and meet until you get tired.”
“Keep it a secret? Why should I? I’m going to date openly, something everyone knows. Tired? Why would I? Every time I see her, it’s something new.”
“Even so, marrying Taeseo…”
“Are you so eager to become the daughter-in-law of Kangsun Group? If that’s the case, how about becoming the mistress of Kangsun Group altogether? With that determination, even targeting Chairman’s heart is possible.”
“Well, that’s…”
“Even being in the same space with you is so disgusting. What should I do with someone like you?”
It was a gaze that seemed ready to tear apart the person in front of him at any moment. Turning away and leaving, Taeseo’s back revealed his anger. From behind Taeseo, a trembling voice was heard.
“…What did I do wrong?”
“…What?”
“What did I do wrong? I’ve been hearing that I’m Kang Taeseo’s fiancée since I was young. Did I want that? No! Your grandmother did! My parents did! People did! Everyone called and treated me that way!”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
