“Of all times, now!”
Sejeong hastily ended the call and turned her phone screen face down, worried that Chairman Cha might have seen Jinhyuk’s name. She felt uneasy.
“You didn’t have to hang up. Sejeong, it’s okay; go ahead and talk comfortably.”
“No! It was a call I didn’t need to take, so please don’t worry.”
As if mocking Sejeong’s words, the mobile phone rang again.
Chairman Cha smiled kindly and said, “Go ahead and answer it. Don’t mind me.”
“It’s okay, Chairman.”
“In that case, I’ll worry more. It’s me who should be okay, so go ahead and answer.”
In a situation where it was hard to refuse anymore, Sejeong reluctantly picked up her phone.
“Hello.”
Yoon Sejeong, you picked up faster than I thought. I was going to call you until you answered.
“I’m currently outside.”
How have you been? Didn’t you miss your brother?
Disgusting.
Sejeong, trying to act calm, asked with a forced smile, worried that Chairman Cha might notice.
“But why are you calling? What’s the matter?”
In response to Sejeong’s cold reaction, Jinhyuk chuckled.
Why are you talking like that? Who are you with?
“Yes.”
Why are you freezing up like that? Are you secretly enjoying an affair with your hidden lover in broad daylight?
To Jinhyuk’s annoying joke, Sejeong felt irritation welling up.
“I’m sorry, but I’m currently having a meal, so it’s inconvenient to take a call.”
Just kidding. Are you mad?
“Yes. I’ll contact you later.”
As Sejeong tried to end the call, Jinhyuk urgently grabbed her.
Sejeong, don’t hang up! Something shocking happened.
“I’m hanging up now.”
It’s about my brother.
Sejeong hesitated when she heard it was about Dohyuk.
“What… is it?”
It’s better to talk face to face; I want to see your pretty face. How about having a drink at the bar we met last time tonight?
“Alright.”
See you at 8. Make sure to come; I’ll wait until you arrive.
“Yes. Then, goodbye.”
Unable to resist her curiosity about the story regarding Dohyuk, Sejeong took the bait.
Chairman Cha smiled cunningly and said, “Sejeong, didn’t you hang up early because of me? I’m fine, hehe.”
“No, it’s not. I had an issue with the clothes I tried on, so I had to go back. Please don’t worry.”
“Well, that’s a relief. The food is delicious. Sejeong, come in quickly.”
“Yes.”
Fortunately, Chairman Cha seemed to have no idea about anything strange.
Sejeong pondered Jinhyuk’s words while wiping her chest.
‘What shocking event? Cha Jinhyuk, did you find something?’
She had a strong intuition that it was related to the woman who was with Dohyuk at the highway rest area and the hospital.
Suddenly, the food in her mouth felt bitter, and she wanted to spit it out.
That evening, Dohyuk’s house was bustling with noise.
Yeonji unexpectedly popped out from behind Dohyuk, who had returned from work earlier than usual.
“Miss Yeonji?”
Jaein, who was preparing dinner, raised her eyebrows at Yeonji’s sudden appearance.
Dohyuk raised his eyebrows and said,
“Suddenly saying you’ll come along and causing a fuss.”
“Oppa, you’re acting up for no reason even though it’s fine.”
Yeonji, after glancing at Dohyuk, presented the dessert she brought with both hands to Jaein.
“Jaein Unni, I prepared something special for you.”
“Oh, it looks delicious!”
Yeonji whispered softly into Jaein’s ear.
“I thought you might be having a hard time, so I came to support you. Since I’m on your side, cheer up!”
“Thank you for coming, Yeonji.”
Jaein sincerely grabbed Yeonji’s hands.
At this moment, Yeonji felt like a savior to her. It was understandable, considering Jaein had been struggling since she returned home from work, constantly bothered by Chairman Cha. Today, Chairman Cha had been strangely quiet the whole time. As soon as Jaein returned from work, he started causing trouble, instructing her to do things like laundry, scattering blankets all over the place, leaving a mess in every corner of the house, and even standing right next to her while cooking and offering constant commentary.
Chairman Cha behaved as if he had made up his mind to nag and criticize Jaein about everything, intending to dry her blood. Furthermore, when he suggested teaching her how to play a card game called “Gostop,” he immediately brought it up himself, and when asked if she would play it again later, he responded, seemingly waiting for her to express frustration.
“Miss, do I look like someone who has time to fool around with you? And am I your friend? Don’t act so presumptuously!”
Although she didn’t understand English, Jaein was unfairly scolded without a chance to respond, lost in confusion and shock.
She wondered if Chairman Cha perceived her as someone who had nothing better to do and if he considered her a friend. After all, she was an inexperienced lady who had suddenly become his target for all sorts of complaints and grumblings. However, the few days of playing “Gostop” seemed to slightly ease Chairman Cha’s heart, but the moment he lost, he returned to his sulking state.
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.”
