‘To be attracted’ and ‘to be aroused’ are only a dot apart in writing, but the latter had a much stronger impact.
While she should have felt offended, 우연 absurdly thought it was very much like 차태경 to speak so bluntly.
He always threw fastballs, never curveballs. So, it was only right for her to return a clear answer.
“If you’re asking about responsibility for that night…”
“Responsibility? What responsibility?”
“You keep doing this because you want to sleep with me again, don’t you?”
Her direct approach made 태경 burst into laughter. He flicked his wristwatch and pushed his half-empty glass of drink towards her.
“Drink up. I sent 한 실장 to pick you up, so no more excuses about driving.”
우연 didn’t hesitate to drink. She, too, needed to sort out her feelings.
She had been waiting for this.
For 태경’s call, his voice, this face-to-face meeting.
But she had confirmed it, hadn’t she? He only wanted a casual encounter.
What would happen if she took this man’s hand?
It was a tempting offer.
Soon, 차태경 would seize 명산 and sit at the top of South Korea, obtaining everything he desired.
He would have what her mother and sister, who sold their names and abandoned their family, could never have.
Would giving in now mean losing the last bit of pride she wanted to protect?
She still harbored deep wounds and unforgiveness from what they did to her.
Why must she always lose everything?
It felt so unfair, so sorrowful.
Yet, 우연’s decision didn’t last long.
As always, it was right not to do something when her heart wasn’t in it.
While justice might not be the highest value in life, she did have a fundamental conscience as a journalist.
She smiled wryly, intending to politely decline his offer with sincere words.
“It’s strange. I’m not usually this weak, but I always feel diminished in front of you.”
“…….”
“Honestly, after being coldly rejected in your office that day, I felt terrible.”
태경 laughed.
That seemed understandable to him. He poured her another drink, filling it so much that it almost overflowed.
He shrugged his shoulders.
“I guess so. But I felt I had to rile up 윤우연 and make her feel bad to be satisfied.”
“…….”
“Don’t you think? Or not?”
“No, it’s not that. It’s just that I…”
“Just?”
“I just wish we could stop having encounters like this.”
우연 downed her drink.
In the meantime, 태경 mulled over her words. A brief silence fell between them.
“윤우연.”
She had barely taken a breath when 태경, who had been drinking alone, suddenly looked frustrated.
He seemed to be weighing something in his mind. His strong grip on the bottle hinted at a tense atmosphere.
As if he might cause a scene, 우연 took a cautious breath.
His voice wasn’t as firm as usual.
“….Yes, Representative.”
He looked tired, his eyes weighed down. The busy schedule of a man who had been juggling shareholder meetings, executive conferences, and political obligations was evident.
태경’s voice grew increasingly lower.
“Did my words sound like I just wanted to sleep with you?”
“Isn’t it?”
He smirked, mocking her.
“You thought you did so well that night, needing me to teach you everything from one to ten?”
“……What?”
“Look, 윤우연.”
“…….”
“That night, you were the one who seduced me first. Am I wrong?”
Her face flushed at his sharp, informal accusation.
She intended to vehemently deny it.
What are you talking about?
In the room, you took off my hat, licked my lips, and it was you, the representative, who took me to the hotel!
Didn’t you think I understood the blatant emotions in your eyes every time you looked at me?
It was unfair and infuriating.
But the emotion sinking into her heart vanished in an instant, realizing it wasn’t a complete misunderstanding.
She did want to be in his arms that night.
So, if she insisted she seduced him, she would be speechless.
Left without words, she couldn’t regain her composure against this man’s straightforward approach.
Meanwhile, 차태경 continued.
“I’ve thought about why I get aroused just by seeing 윤우연 씨.”
“…….”
“It seems to be those eyes.”
“…….”
“Whenever you look at me, they get wet.”
The shame of falling into his arms with tear-soaked eyes as she left 서지우’s house returned to haunt 윤우연.
She was embarrassed.
She hated this man for vividly remembering a memory she wished to forget.
She glared at him.
“So, what do you want from me? Tell me your true intentions. You always want compensation, but what I can give is limited. Am I wrong?”
“You are wrong. 윤우연 씨 can give me a lot if she chooses to.”
“…….”
“Is it clean there?”
“What?”
“Your pond.”
She was astounded. Had she misunderstood him?
A pond? Really?
“What are you talking about?”
“I was thinking of entering your pond.”
“…….”
“So, is it clean?”
His piercing words made 윤우연 widen her eyes, trying to understand his true meaning.
So, 차태경’s words about entering her pond meant he was willing to be subordinate in this relationship.
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.”
