Jaehyun bowed her head and quickly went into her room.
Chairman Cha thought with a puzzled expression, ‘What happened outside?’
“Have a meal.”
“Oh, you surprised me!”
While preparing dinner, Chairman Cha, who had been dozing off on the sofa with a sleepy look while reading a book, was startled by Jaehyun’s sudden appearance.
“Oh, act like you’re alive! Are you trying to send me to the afterlife with a heart attack?”
“Exactly. Am I planning to send Chairman to the afterlife with a heart attack?”
“What are you saying?”
“Wait a moment. I’ll prepare it soon.”
Jaehyun said with a lifeless tone and went back to the kitchen.
Her shoulders were slumped, and it was quite different from the determined appearance of her standing up like a weed no matter what Chairman Cha said.
‘What? Why is she like this today?’
Chairman Cha tilted his head and went to the dining table.
Even though Jaehyun’s behavior was momentarily bothersome, an irresistible hunger surged as she saw the food, as always, beautifully prepared.
Chairman Cha swallowed hard, suppressing the salivation, and hurriedly picked up the chopsticks.
However.
Having tasted the food, Chairman Cha frowned, lowered the chopsticks, and exclaimed, “Seo Ja-in, what is this? There’s no seasoning at all!”
“That’s right. You complained that it was too salty yesterday, so I didn’t add any seasoning.”
“No, I added a bit more salt yesterday, but does that mean you shouldn’t season it at all?”
“I thought you might complain that it’s too salty again today. Well, you’ll have to eat it somehow.”
Ashamed.
Chairman Cha felt a pang in his heart.
As he was fully prepared to pick a fight today, he unintentionally raised his voice even louder due to the prick of his conscience.
“This girl! Are you deliberately trying to make me eat something unpleasant just because I said something yesterday?”
“That’s right. Did I deliberately try to make you eat something unpleasant?”
Chairman Cha was dumbfounded.
‘What is this way of speaking, like answering exactly as I said? She’s using a very polite tone to hit me in the back of the head.’
Because Jaehyun was echoing his words exactly, Chairman Cha became afraid to say anything next.
Jaehyun, absorbed in her thoughts, nonchalantly ate the unsalted food.
‘It’s strange. Why is she acting absent-minded as if she ate something wrong?’
By this point, Chairman Cha began to worry about Jaehyun, who seemed to be losing focus.
Chairman Cha spoke with a much softer voice.
“Seo Ja-in, is there something bothering you today? Maybe something not good happened?”
“…….?”
“Tell me what it is. I might be able to help.”
“……Grandfather.”
Jaehyun raised her head and stared intently at Chairman Cha.
Then, as if she had something to say, she pursed her lips.
“Oh, right. Tell me what it is. I might be able to help.”
“…No.”
Jaehyun lowered her head again, seemingly lost in thought.
Chairman Cha, starting to feel sorry, observed Jaehyun’s complexion with a sidelong glance.
He couldn’t have dreamed that the cause was his words to Sejeong.
Jaehyun was now resigned, knowing that no matter what Chairman Cha did, he would find fault.
When Chairman Cha asked a while ago what was wrong, she almost spoke about meeting Sejeong.
But she kept her mouth shut, thinking that there would be no change even if she spoke.
She was already determined to persuade Dohyuk to marry Sejeong and to drive Jaehyun away.
If Chairman Cha knew everything now and openly told her to leave, revealing Sejeong’s affair might make things more awkward.
Chairman Cha, who had given her a chance for a month, was most likely securing time to personally remove Jaehyun from Dohyuk’s life.
Jaehyun had already resigned herself, knowing that Chairman Cha would find fault no matter what he did.

Jaehyun was confused about what to do next.
Back then, when she couldn’t find a clear answer and her head was pounding from the confusion.
At that moment, a call came from Dohyuk.
“Uh, I’ll make a quick call and be right back.”
Jaehyun hastily got up from her seat and told Chairman Cha.
Then, as if sliding, she went into her room and answered the phone.
“Team Leader!”
Seo Jae-in, did you enjoy your dinner?
A mellifluous baritone, always soothing.
Hearing Dohyuk’s voice, Jaehyun felt like her uncomfortable feelings due to Sejeong were slightly alleviated.
“I was just eating. When will you come, Team Leader?”
Sorry. I’ll be late again today.
“Again?”
I just met Director Kim, and there’s more work to handle than I thought. I was planning to discuss it while having dinner. Sorry.
“…Okay. I understand.”
Jaehyun suddenly felt drained of energy.
Seo Jae-in, why is your voice like that today? Is something wrong?
“Nothing happened.”
It doesn’t seem like nothing…
Dohyuk’s voice showed concern.
‘I should probably tell Team Leader about meeting Yoon Sejeong.’
But when it came time to bring it up, it felt too uncomfortable.
If Dohyuk found out, it would surely create a commotion involving Chairman Cha.
Although Dohyuk appeared tough on the outside, his affection for his grandfather was exceptional.
Knowing this well, Jaehyun didn’t want anything to strain their relationship because of her.
Being someone who knew how precious family was better than anyone.
When Jaehyun remained silent, Dohyuk’s voice suddenly became impatient.
Maybe Grandfather did something difficult again? This won’t do. I’ll go and…
“No, no! It’s nothing! Don’t worry and finish your work.”
Really?
“Yes.”
Jaehyun forced herself to answer brightly.
Okay. By the way, since I might be very late today, wait for me, don’t sleep.
“Why?”
Because I want to see you.
Typical Dohyuk.
Suddenly, Jaehyun remembered the day she first came to Dohyuk’s house.
Even then, Dohyuk told her not to sleep and wait for him over the phone.
“Did you arrive safely?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll be very late today.”
“Yes.”
“Wait for me, don’t sleep.”
“Yes?”
Whether it was then or now, there was one question she wanted to ask.
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.

Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
