Acts We Shouldn't Do (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
“Last time, you clearly said that if I brought someone with me, you’d take my side.”
“Right. So you’ve got someone you’re bringing?”
Hong Jin still felt a pang of regret about having handed over the hosting duties for the Kang Seon Art Center charity event—scheduled for tomorrow evening—to the deputy director. It was a decision she’d made after considering her recent health and the age of the invited guests.
Then yesterday afternoon, she’d received a report that Tae Seo had personally requested two additional invitations. She immediately instructed the deputy director to issue extra invitations right away, assuring them it was fine to add two more people not on the original list.
It wasn’t like the grandson she knew to ask for two extra invitations while fully aware the matter would reach her ears. Yet Hong Jin appreciated Tae Seo’s bold, straightforward approach—no secrets, no hiding.
She’d just instructed the deputy director to keep a close eye on who’d be accompanying Tae Seo at the event, simply out of curiosity about his intentions and the identity of his guest.
“I’d like to receive the rest of what Grandfather left for me. Please settle it soon.”
“You told me to hold onto it yourself to avoid taxes—why the sudden change?”
“I’d like to bring someone along, and if I’m going to, I’d prefer to do it properly.”
“Hah…”
Madam Im Hong Jin let out a dry chuckle and lifted her teacup.
Kang Seon Il, Tae Seo’s grandfather, had secretly left a considerable sum for Tae Seo—without the knowledge of Tae Seo’s father, Chairman Kang Shin Jae. Tae Seo had already received part of it while studying in the U.S.
Madam Im Hong Jin never asked what he’d done with that money—she’d assumed he hadn’t squandered it and had spent it where necessary. But now he was asking for the remainder of that inheritance.
“As far as I know, you’re not exactly short on funds, are you?”
“I just want to present myself as well as possible.”

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. 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.
