Ye Seul’s mouth gaped in surprise.
If they were to show affection in front of others, it would raise suspicions about their relationship.
Her heart pounded rapidly.
The moment she thought Si Heon’s hand was about to touch her, she shut her eyes tight and took a step back.
Si Heon’s hand awkwardly hovered in midair.
“There’s something on your scarf.”
Ye Seul looked down at her scarf, a forced smile on her face.
“Ah…., I must’ve been clumsy…It’s cocoa powder.”
Si Heon reached for the scarf, brushing off the powder.
“I can do it.”
Before Ye Seul could finish, Si Heon had already let go, as if he hadn’t a care in the world.
“That should do it.”
“Thank you.”
Ye Seul licked her lips and feeling the need to say something, she opened her mouth.
“Have you seen the store today?”
“The response was even better than expected. I’m looking forward to the rest of the time.”
“You said to trust you, right?”
Ye Seul cocked her chin up slightly and smirked.
“I guess I should give you a reward.”
Huh. Is he genuinely laughing now?
Ye Seul blinked in surprise.
Si Heon’s eyes twinkled beautifully.
Despite having plenty to say and ask, Ye Seul remained silent, her face flushing like someone who had forgotten everything.
“I… I’m looking forward to it.”
Ye Seul mumbled, turning her head.
Si Heon knew Ye Seul felt slighted by him.
Throughout his career, there had been inevitable emotional clashes with other employees, but Si Heon couldn’t always cater to their feelings.
He could have ignored it as usual, but he found himself constantly concerned about Ye Seul’s feelings while working.
Seeing her boldly asking for praise made him chuckle, a ticklish feeling at the pit of his stomach.
Hopefully, she’s not angry anymore.
“President, Director Kang Jun Won of Baek Song Hotel wishes to see you.”
The secretary called for Si Heon.
“Chloe, I think I should go now.”
The hotel run by the Baek Song Group was managed by Byung Suk’s nephew, born of his deceased sister.
Byung Suk, who had lost his parents and siblings to war and disease, was obsessed with lineage.
Anyone of the Baek Chairman’s bloodline was given a place in the company based on their abilities.
Many found it odd that Si Heon, adopted as his son in the family register, was given food and confectionery to manage instead of Baek Song Construction.
Byung Suk had Si Heon manage the weaker and more difficult businesses first.
Rumors circulated that Byung Suk was distancing himself from Si Heon because he could not forgive his daughter who defied his will and ran off on her own.
Si Heon had an attachment to Baek Song Confectionery, which was originally supposed to be inherited by his mother.
Byung Suk too, who had gotten involved in the confectionery business purely for Kyung Hee, wanted to maintain Baek Song Confectionery.
Therefore, he had entrusted it, believing in Si Heon’s capabilities.
Moreover, he didn’t intend to nurture Si Heon’s power while he was still young.
Byung Suk didn’t fully trust Si Heon and feared he might abandon him out of love, just like his mother did.
That was the most painful moment in his perfect life, a failure, a blemish.
And Byung Suk’s fear was soon to become a reality.
If Baek Song Confectionery’s operating status stabilizes, Si Heon planned to escape from Byung Suk’s control.
The last project Si Heon took on at Baek Song Confectionery, which had turned profitable, was a collaboration with Seedoo.
“See you at home later.”
A soft voice tickled her ear.
Unlike the nervous Ye Seul, Si Heon disappeared casually.
Ye Seul’s sleep was foggy and then she turned her gaze back to the cake.
She saw Baek Si Heon’s smiling face every day, but what was that about.
Ye Seul placed her hand on the edge of her chest.
“Should I have asked what kind of prize to give?”
Ye Seul was humming as if her earlier grumpy mood had disappeared.
With an hour left until closing time, all the prepared products, including additional ones, were sold out.
Despite their best efforts in the kitchen to avoid disappointing customers, it was inevitable that they ran out of ingredients.
When they achieved a sales volume that exceeded expectations, everyone at Seedoo Kore was cheering with joy.
“Now we’ve run out of everything from raw chocolate to cookies.”
Gyu Won reported about the completely empty showcase when he came into the kitchen.
“Since we’re out of products, we’re closing early than the business hours.”
At the news of finishing early, the exhausted faces brightened.
It was understandable for everyone to be tired since they were busy from the first day.
“We’ll have to make more tomorrow than today, so let’s all pull ourselves together.”
“Yes, Chef!”
Ju Young came dancing in, hand raised, hips swaying with excitement.
“It’s good that we sold so well today. This is a huge success.”
Ju Young brought his face close to Ye Seul’s, his finger on her chin.
“That’s too funny.”
Ye Seul, watching Ju Young’s dance, laughed and wiped the corners of her eyes.
“Ye Seul, how about going for a drink in celebration of today?”
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
