Naples, one of the world’s three most beautiful ports, awaited the passengers of the Decorna for their shore excursion, leaving the ship’s afternoon relatively quiet.
Due to the late hour, Se-hee encountered almost no one as she returned to her room.
From the docked cruise ship, Naples boasted its beauty unfiltered.
Moreover, the incredibly clear blue sky and deep blue sea elevated Se-hee’s spirits.
Dazzling sunlight warmly caressed her face, and a refreshing sea breeze naturally tousled her hair.
Her mood today was exceptionally special.
Even the air around her felt loving.
It was amazing how a person’s mood could change so drastically.
So different from yesterday.
A feeling of fullness filled her heart.
A happiness she had never felt before.
She was genuinely happy.
It’s said that people sometimes cry when they’re too happy, and Se-hee found herself wiping away tears she didn’t even realize were falling, laughing as she did so.
Kyle.
The overwhelming emotions he created in her heart.
Se-hee wanted to dare to call this feeling ‘love.’
She longed to etch that word in Kyle’s heart as well.
As she quietly repeated this to herself, her face quickly turned red.
After taking a deep, contented breath, Se-hee, basking in the fresh energy, headed back to her room.
Once she arrived, she went straight into the bathroom to prepare for the excursion.
The moment she faced the bathroom mirror.
Se-hee was shocked.
Marks left by Kyle were vividly imprinted on various parts of her body.
Examining each mark.
A strange sensation flowed through her entire body.
The areas that had been tingling with a faint ache were now warming up.
Goodness gracious.
Now, does my body react first whenever I think of him?
Staring at her rapidly reddening face in the mirror, Se-hee was astonished.
Really.
Was I, perhaps, an ‘erotic witch’ all along?
Had I simply not had the time to awaken those instincts until now?
No.
It can’t be.
Se-hee vigorously shook her head.
I’m a, a Confucian girl.
This is all because of Kyle.
Because of last night… because it was too, too dazzling.
Blaming Kyle for awakening her secret instincts, Se-hee had no choice but to take a cold shower.
Spending all the time needed to calm her newfound instincts, Se-hee could only join Kyle for the Naples trip after he finished his meeting.
As soon as they arrived at the Naples port, Kyle took Se-hee to the most renowned wood-fired pizza place in Naples.
This was because Se-hee had emphasized that eating Naples wood-fired pizza was a must-do during their limited time at the port.
She had extolled the virtues of the pizza so earnestly, her face showing intense seriousness, that Kyle couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Stop laughing.”
Se-hee looked at Kyle grumpily.
“I’ll try to hold back.”
But already chuckling, her ears were sensitive to his laughter.
“Not just ‘try,’ you absolutely, unequivocally, must hold back!”
Se-hee’s deep voice, as if spitting flames, only made Kyle laugh out louder.
“How have you held back all this time? I never knew you laughed so easily.”
Even Se-hee’s glare, with fire in her eyes, was endearing to Kyle.
He had come to realize how delightful a person can be through Se-hee.
And that emotions he thought had disappeared were still hiding within him.
Se-hee’s expression, arms crossed and glaring at Kyle, softened with the arrival of the wood-fired pizza.
The freshly baked pizza emitted an enticing aroma that captivated the senses.
Kyle served a slice onto Se-hee’s plate first.
“This won’t make me forgive you.”
“It looks like you already have.”
Kyle playfully countered Se-hee’s sassy remark.
Biting into a slice of pizza, Se-hee’s eyes widened.
The crisp and savory taste naturally elicited her admiration.
Kyle watched her, spellbound.
Her elegant forehead, prominent nose, and enchanting lips.
Lovingly absorbing each detail of Se-hee, a strange expression momentarily crossed Kyle’s face.
He noticed significant, meaningful marks starkly visible on Se-hee’s pale, delicate neck.
Undoubtedly, they were the marks he had left on her last night.
But soon, the satisfaction of seeing his marks so clearly imprinted on her pleased Kyle immensely.
A contented smile settled on Kyle’s face.
His gaze, fixed intently on Se-hee, was filled with a seductive aura.
Suddenly, Se-hee looked up at Kyle.
“The last one is mine!”
It seemed Se-hee misinterpreted Kyle’s intense gaze as a challenge over the pizza.
She didn’t forget to subtly pull the remaining wood-fired pizza towards herself.
Seeing Se-hee’s earnestness about the Napoli pizza, Kyle burst into laughter again.
How could she think such a thing?
Always surpassing his expectations, Se-hee made it impossible for Kyle to stop laughing.
“Testing me over a mere slice of wood-fired pizza.”
Kyle looked at Se-hee playfully.
“You must know already. If you want, I could even buy this pizza place for you.”
Upon hearing Kyle’s serious offer, Se-hee, who had momentarily pondered it, nonchalantly pushed the plate of wood-fired pizza she had pulled towards herself back in front of Kyle.
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.”
