It was bitter. It was evident how Debra, who considered herself sincere but was actually insincere, would have worked in such an environment.
Then Todd, who had conversed with the employees, and belatedly appeared, spoke.
“Are you going to leave right away?”
“To catch the train, yes.”
“You’ve been quite forceful lately. How about taking a break nearby today and moving tomorrow?”
“Fine.”
Zen decided that seeing Debra’s face for about three minutes at home was better than sleeping here for three hours.
As Zen got into the car, Todd, who followed him, said,
“He said he would send it within a week.”
“Well, I’ve never seen a decent plan come out of an office smelling of alcohol.”
Zen said, tilting one side of his mouth.
“Are you not going to say it until the end?”
Although Todd skipped many things, Zen understood right away. The employees knew Todd as the young entrepreneur who bought all the technology and employees of the failing car company for money, but Todd had only lent his name; the real owner was Zen.
“No need for that.”
Zen answered that way and looked out the window. Then, recalling Debra, who had been constantly enjoying the scenery beyond the car window, he muttered again.
“No need for that…”
In the dimly lit banquet hall, a chandelier boasted colorful lights.
The currently most expensive singer in the center was beautifully dressed and singing an opera song. It was a heartbreaking love song about being able to sacrifice one’s only life for a poignant love.
“Yawn.”
When the song reached its climax, Belus yawned. To him, Eric asked, wiping away the tears in his eyes with his finger.
“Is it boring?”
“A bit.”
Eric raised his hand. Then, the singer who had been singing hastily closed his mouth. Servants standing like decorations on the wall pulled the curtains all at once. Then, a thick sunset flooded in.
“It’s not an easy task to make you happy.”
Belus didn’t feel joy often, except when he created Chelsea’s Club or when he made a company for gambling addicts. However, he lost interest right after a few days.
“So, what about this?”
Eric pointed to one maid with his finger. A woman with fairly mixed black hair was bowing nervously.
“Enjoying her instead of leaving her in Astrian?”
“…Do you think I brought a woman to Astrian?”
Belus answered without taking his eyes off the maid. Satisfied with his appearance, Eric smiled and said,
“It doesn’t make sense that such a handsome man lived alone.”
“Regretfully, I did live alone for real.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I just slept like crazy. Cursing my damn fate.”
Belus, who suddenly stood up from his seat, raised the maid’s chin with his fingertip. Now in her twenties, the young maid looked at Belus’s face hurriedly and quickly lowered her eyes.
“I hope it’s a small gift to comfort your situation.”
Listening to Eric’s voice, Belus stared intently at the maid’s face.
Slightly trembling, a pink-colored ripe face, large pupils, black hair, a pleasant fragrance, and a thin and graceful figure. Everything was beautiful. However, it was not what Belus wanted.
“Would I have been alone if I couldn’t find something like this?”
“Huh?”
Belus, who gently lowered the maid’s face, smiled slyly.
“I’m quite disappointed, Eric.”
“Belus, don’t misunderstand. I just wanted to comfort you.”
As Eric quickly explained, Belus shrugged his shoulders.
“Comfort? You, comforting me?”
Eric’s slightly opened mouth closed firmly. Belus narrowed his eyes and displayed a chilling smile.
“I didn’t mean to upset you. Really.”
“Eric, you don’t have to explain it like that. I wasn’t that angry. Seriously. If I were angry, you know I wouldn’t be smiling like this, right?”
Belus left with his coat on without looking back.
“Belus!”
Although Eric called his name, Belus didn’t turn around. Watching Belus neatly ignore him, Eric realized.
‘It’s damn hard to match his mood!’
Eric had always tried. Even now, didn’t he put in all the effort to match Belus’s mood just because he wanted to dominate, even if it was Belus’s grandfather or his older brother?
Yet, Belus was playing above Eric just by being born into a good family. Why is life so unfair?
“Sigh…”
Eric felt frustrated. Where could you find nobles these days who weren’t bothering him lately…
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
