The latest page was filled with reviews, all about bugs.
Hyeju’s eyes shook with shock.
“A bug came out of the soup?”
That couldn’t be true.
Soocheol was conscientious about hygiene to the extent of making it a business motto.
He had contracted with a pest control company and introduced a pest control system to the neighborhood long before pest control became a common concept.
So far, Soocheol, who had never received a common complaint that there was a hair in the food, found it hard to believe that a bug came out of the soup. And even to this extent?
“It doesn’t make sense. There couldn’t be several incidents like this in a month…!”
Opening her eyes wide and examining it, she found that among over three hundred recent reviews, there were only a few mentions of bugs. The rest were sympathetic or mocking comments, some of which were even making jokes with the title “[Bug Soup].”
‘Does Dad know about this?’
Hyeju, whose face turned pale, suddenly stood up from her seat.
“Why, noona?”
Philip asked, watching Hyeju, who suddenly trembled while eating.
Juwon keenly sensed that something had changed in Hyeju. He turned his gaze to Hyeju’s phone, and his eyes cooled down.
Instead of explaining Gatabuta, he grabbed Hyeju’s wrist.
“Let’s go.”
It seems there is a problem with Dad’s store.
“I’ll take you there.”
I need to confirm who is the person who made my girl unable to have dinner.
[Star Icon]When they arrived in Cheonan, it was already past nine in the evening.
When they entered the store, Soocheol was sitting at an empty table, staring blankly at the TV.
“Welcome… Hyeju?”
Soocheol, who got up at the jingling sound of the door, looked at Hyeju and made a surprised expression.
“Without any contact, what’s going on? How did you come all the way here?”
Seeing Soocheol, who quickly put on a welcoming expression, Hyeju felt like tears were about to come out.
“I just came. Is there no customer in the store?”
“Haha, it’s closing time. Come on in.”
The store was so quiet that you could infer today’s sales for the day.
Hyeju felt a pang in her chest at the sight of the store, which would have been bustling even at closing time on a usual day.
The state was generous, like when the napkins and utensil holder were prepared in the morning.
“But what about you?”
Soocheol, who smiled casually while glancing at Hyeju, looked at Juwon.
“Hello.”
Juwon paused for a moment and added.
“……Dad.”
Soocheol’s eyes narrowed.
“Dad? Since when did a colleague at the office become a potential son-in-law?”
He vividly remembered when he first encountered Juwon at the hospital.
Thinking he might be his daughter’s boyfriend, he observed closely, but when he said he was just a colleague, he left without saying anything.
However, a few days later, he sent a birthday cake to their house. He even claimed he was a potential son-in-law!
“I apologize for before. I have no words, even if I had ten mouths.”
“What can you do? People can be timid.”
“……”
“Never mind. You received the cake and whiskey sent on your birthday, so let’s just leave it at that.”
Seeing Soocheol, who firmly believed that the incident that day originated from timidity, Juwon pursed his lips like a crucian carp.
I’m not timid, sir. Even when speaking in front of 20,000 people, I didn’t eat a single Chinese herbal medicine, sir.
That statement was firmly held in his throat, and if he spit it out, he would have to explain the incident from that day, which was not appropriate.
…I really feel unjust.
“Okay. You work at the same company as Hyeju? You must be around the rank of a manager considering your age.”
Soocheol scanned Juwon up and down, subtly attempting a background check.
It seemed that as the first man his daughter brought home, he wanted to check various things.
“Hey, sir! Why is your distribution so small? Please use more.”
Philip, who had followed them like a droplet without even knowing when he got into the car, intervened. Soocheol reacted to his insignificant presence.
“Manager?”
Whip. Philip pointed to the sky with his finger.
“Then……. Deputy Manager?”
Whip.
“Could it be Section Chief? Ah, no matter how you look at it, you don’t seem to be that age.”
Philip shouted, banging his chest as if Juwon were his older brother.
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.
