Si Heon held his breath and looked down at Ye Seul.
“Is this what you’re talking about?”
He brought his thumb to his lips.
A soft and warm touch reached his fingertips.
“Ugh.”
Si Heon let out a short groan.
Ye Seul bit Si Heon’s thumb.
“Don’t make me laugh, Mr. Baek Si Heon.”
She let go of Si Heon’s hand as she licked her lips with the tip of her tongue.
“We are having a fake marriage, wouldn’t we be unable to pretend to love too?”
She tilted her chin and wrinkled her nose.
Si Heon squinted at Ye Seul with one eye.
“All I want is for people to fairly evaluate me for hiding my marriage. Not as the wife of the representative, but as Chloe, the chocolatier.”
And even after this marriage ends, I hope people won’t know that you left a mark on my life.
Si Heon’s unflappable, masklike face crumbled for a moment.
Ye Seul felt good, feeling like she had given Si Heon a punch.
“I’ll make sure our married life is perfect, like our contract, so don’t worry.”
The confusion in Si Heon’s eyes dissipated like smoke.
Si Heon’s laughter echoed brightly.
Si Heon was genuinely happy.
Cute.
Si Heon pulled Ye Seul’s hand as if wrapping it.
The hand of a woman who handles chocolate like magic is beautiful.
“Uh……!”
Ye Seul opened her mouth and looked at Si Heon.
“I’m looking forward to that.”
Si Heon brought the tip of Ye Seul’s thumb to his lips, just like Ye Seul did.
It felt like electricity was flowing from the tip of her finger.
“Let’s forgive each other for today.”
“Ah!”
Si Heon slipped out, scratching Ye Seul’s finger with his white teeth.
“You must be tired, so rest.”
Si Heon released Ye Seul’s hand and turned away.
Ye Seul felt her body burning up, and her legs gave out.
She slid down the wall and sat down.
Ye Seul covered her face with both hands and let out a sigh.
Baek Si Heon might be too much for Ye Seul to handle.
“Remember! Sleep on the bed. If you sleep in the hallway, you’ll get a stiff neck, Ye Seul.”
Si Heon peeped out from the dressing room and said.
“I’m not going to sleep here.”
“I thought you liked lying on me and going to bed, so you slept elsewhere.”
“It’s not! I just fell asleep…….”
Ye Seul yelled with a beetred face.
The days when she felt awkward sleeping in the same bed as Si Heon and ended up sleeping on the sofa flashed in her mind.
“Anyway, I’m looking forward to it. I’m talking about a perfect married life, like a contract.”
Si Heon said with a sly smile, then disappeared into the dressing room.
Ye Seul watched him leave, then slowly got up.
Feeling like a loser who started a fight that didn’t even break even, she dragged her heavy feet towards the bathroom.

The C’Dou Korea store had an interior that embodied the image of the Paris main store.
From the antiquestyle fittings to the main colors of brown and gold that filled the showcases to the furniture tables and chairs used in the store, everything was brought directly from Paris.
Upon opening the door to the store, one could feel as if they were in an upscale chocolate shop in Paris.
C’Dou Korea, which embodied the image of the existing C’Dou along with its reputation, was already a topic of conversation on SNS.
[C’Dou in Paris is perfectly reproduced at the C’Dou Korea in Baek Song Hotel.] [You can find chocolates made by Korean chocolatier Chloe Jang, who is active in Paris.]
With the growing interest in desserts, articles about C’Dou Korea were pouring out even before its opening.
The members of C’Dou Korea, with the opening just a day away, were filled with excitement and anticipation.
Gyu Won and the new parttimers were busy and moving around to decorate the showcase.
In the kitchen, they were preparing the products for tomorrow without a moment’s rest, bustling around.
The amount of sample products for the opening event was quite large, so they had to keep busy to avoid working late.
“Give me the one that has been tempered.”
“Yes, Chef.”
Ye Seul gave orders to Sous Chef and kitchen assistant while moving busily.
“What about the sheet work?”
“Chef, these are the things that we have to do early tomorrow morning. I think it will be okay to make the macarons for the decoration of the opera early in the morning.”
Joo Young showed her the list and told her.
As it was past 6 PM, the preparation seemed to have reached a temporary conclusion.
“It looks like there won’t be any problems with the opening tomorrow.”
Joo Young looked around the kitchen with a proud face.
“Right. Good job. We have to start moving from 6 in the morning tomorrow, so let’s leave early today.”
Ye Seul finished the decoration of the Bûche de Noël, which was only available for Christmas reservations.
“Now that we’ve finished preparing for today, everyone can leave.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Joo Young and the kitchen staff said their goodbyes, changed clothes and left the kitchen.
“Is everything going well?”
“Boss.”
Si Heon opened the kitchen door and looked around at the products that had not been put in the refrigerator.
Products coated with sugar or chocolate shone in the light, looking appetizing.
“Would you like to taste it?”
Ye Seul asked, handing over an Orangette.
“Thank you.”
Si Heon melted the chocolate in his mouth with a bright smile.
The aroma of orange peel spread in his mouth.
Ye Seul liked the expression on Si Heon’s face as he ate the chocolate.
Baek Si Heon only then became genuine.
“C’est bon! Chloe. Both the Bonbon chocolate and the truffle were good, but I want to push the Orangette as a signature menu.”
Si Heon’s eyes sparkled as if he was touched.
Ye Seul’s chocolate, Si Heon thought, was one of the best he had ever tasted, within top three.
“But the signature menu is still Bonbon chocolate. It’s more popular than the Orangette.”
Ye Seul pushed her chin out in response to Si Heon’s compliment and smiled all over her face.
The scent of Si Heon, which she felt from the first meeting, perfectly matched the image of the Orangette with a chocolate coating on the orange peel.
Ye Seul said, approaching the refrigerator and opening the door.
“Would you like to see the Bûche de Noël?”
Every Christmas season, Bûche de Noël, resembling a log, was sold under the name of the store in Paris.
It was one of Ye Seul’s most confident cakes.
She spread chocolate cream on the roll cake, coated it with white chocolate, and sprinkled gold foil powder.
It was a beautiful cake expressing the feeling of a forest with green chocolate mixed with dried fruits and tea to represent fir.
“How is it?”
Ye Seul asked Si Heon with a confident smile, raising her head.
Si Heon thought the woman holding the cake and wearing a satisfied expression was pretty.
The pride in her eyes and the confidence hanging on the tip of her lips made Ye Seul shine.
Ye Seul was living a life that was really different from Si Heon.
The dazzling Ye Seul, different from himself who lived like his grandfather’s puppet, made Si Heon blink slowly.
“It’s beautiful.”
Si Heon blurted out without realizing it.

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.
