It was a long-awaited date. Although there were many things they wanted to do together, Kang Hyun and Ji-yeon ultimately decided to spend a leisurely time watching a movie at home, leaning back on a spacious sofa.
“Mr. Kang Hyun, what does your mother like?”
As Ji-yeon cuddled in his arms, she suddenly lifted her head and asked a question. Lowering his head and looking into her eyes, he saw curiosity filling her gaze.
‘Maybe this is what makes her so cute.’
When Ji-yeon picked up caramel popcorn and fed it to Kang Hyun’s mouth, he playfully pretended to close her hand, and Ji-yeon burst into laughter.
“What about our mother?”
“Yes, I want to get close to your mother. But I don’t know what she likes. Please give me some advice. I’m planning to ask her out on a date.”
After contemplating for a moment with a sly smile, Kang Hyun seemed to remember something.
“My mother likes flowers and art. She occasionally goes to art exhibitions, and as a hobby, she even paints. Also, she used to love making pottery so much that she made a tremendous amount for a while. Most of the dishes we use at home are ones she made, and she has given a lot of them as gifts.”
“It seems like she has a lot of interest in the arts.”
“Yes, she also loves music a lot. She enjoys both old and modern music, without discriminating. She goes to year-end concerts with her friends, and she has a favorite musical actor whom she really likes. She never misses any musicals featuring that actor. I was dragged along by my mother to see it once.”
“Oh, our tastes seem to be very similar.”
“Really? Well… if that’s the case, it means I haven’t properly understood Ji-yeon’s preferences yet. I’m sorry?”
“No need to be sorry. Let’s go see a musical together next time. It seems like our mothers are quite alike. My mother was in the theater club when she was young, and that’s why she loves going to musicals or plays so much. She used to take me to many of them.”
“My mother also did theater in high school. Ji-yeon’s mother and my mother, both of them seem girlish and emotionally rich. It seems like you resemble them.”
“It seems so. Anyway, I’m really happy to find a hobby in common with your mother.”
“Taking care of your mother as well, thank you.”
“I’m thankful too. What I’m thankful for.”
“I’ll do well too. For Ji-yeon and Ji-yeon’s family.”
Saying that, Kang Hyun gave Ji-yeon a small kiss on the neck.
“As expected, the fatal scent from my woman… is always deadly.”
Kang Hyun’s hands, holding Ji-yeon even more tightly, wrapped around her waist.
“How deadly is it exactly?”
Turning around to face him and asking, Kang Hyun lightly kissed Ji-yeon’s lips and, without letting go, answered.
“Fatal enough to keep you awake all night? Can you and our bunny not sleep again tonight?”
In Kang Hyun’s eyes as he spoke, Ji-yeon was fully reflected.

Rrrr—
Hello?
“Hello, Mother. It’s Ji-yeon.”
Ji-yeon!
“Mother, you can just call me Ji-yeon… casually.”
Alright then. So, Ji-yeon, what’s up? It’s good to hear from you.
Laughter was evident in the voice that echoed.
“I was wondering if you might have some time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I called to ask. If it’s convenient, I’d like to go on a date with you.”
Oh my, if Ji-yeon wants to see me, that’s wonderful. Tomorrow is good, and the day after tomorrow is good too. So, where shall we meet?
“How about meeting at the G Department Store not far from your place? There’s a rooftop restaurant with delicious new menu items. We can have a meal there, and I thought it would be nice to visit the H Gallery afterward. What do you think of this plan?”
Wow, does Ji-yeon know me so well? How did you even know that I like going to art exhibitions?
“To be honest, Kang Hyun gave me a little tip. I also really enjoy going to art exhibitions, Mother. An exhibition by my favorite artist at the H Gallery started yesterday. I’ve been looking forward to it, and if I can go with you, it would make me really happy.”
Whenever you like is fine with me. Let’s meet for lunch tomorrow. How about 12 o’clock?
“Yes, Mother! 12 o’clock is perfect! See you tomorrow then.”
After ending the call with Lady Jisuwon, Ji-yeon’s face was filled with a bright smile.
When she made the phone call to arrange a meeting with Lady Jisuwon, she was somewhat nervous, but the warm response was beyond her expectations.
She was grateful for the thoughtful gestures. Ji-yeon’s desire to become closer to Lady Jisuwon grew stronger.

A rosy blush adorned Ji-yeon’s face as she placed a small bouquet of purple flowers nearby.
She was now waiting for Lady Jisuwon at the rooftop restaurant of G Department Store.
Today’s meeting felt even more tense without Kang Hyun, but on the other hand, there was anticipation.
And Ji-yeon hoped that Lady Jisuwon liked her, that she would receive the attention of a boyfriend’s mother, or rather, a husband’s mother’s love, which she had never experienced before.
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
