“Miss Bong!”
It was time to leave school.
As Hyo Jin got out of the car driven by the chauffeur at the school gate, Roy came running up to her.
“Can I play with Seung Yul this Saturday? With a kickboard or a skateboard?”
“This Saturday? I’ll ask Seung Yul and call your mom.”
“No, I can’t. I have an appointment on Saturday.”
Seung Yul’s voice, rejecting her coolly from behind, was heard.
“Appointment? What appointment?”
There were no appointments. As Hyo Jin looked back in confusion, Seung Yul clenched his fist as if to say not to interfere and put strength into the corners of his eyes.
Why is he like that?
“Really? Then, next Saturday?”
Roy, who couldn’t have dreamed that Seung Yul was lying, asked.
“I have a prior engagement next Saturday too.”
“And the Saturday after that?”
“Yes.”
“And the Saturday after that?”
“Yes. And the Saturday after that.”
Humph. Seung Yul, ignoring the downcast Roy, got into the car door opened by the chauffeur. Hyo Jin folded her knees in his place and soothed Roy.
“Roy, then I’ll set a time without an appointment and tell your mom. How’s that?”
As soon as he made the promise and got in the car, Seung Yul, who had already buckled his seatbelt, stuck out his tongue as if he had done something unnecessary, looking at the receding Roy.
“Baby, why are you so cold to Roy? It seems like Roy wants to be friends with you. It hurts him.”
Hyo Jin was embarrassed herself.
“Because he’s going to Sweden soon.”
“…?”
“Dad said school isn’t a place to make friends. It’s a place to compete with friends.”
Anyway, who isn’t a destroyer of innocence?
Do you have to say that to a nineyearold son?
“Baby, that’s not it. In fact, it will be difficult to meet when he goes to Sweden, so shouldn’t we do our best when we are together?”
“……”
“There’s a saying that even if the Earth is destroyed, I would plant an apple tree. In my opinion, your dad worries too much.”
Making it impossible to eat ramen. And forbidding to raise a lizard. Do you want to prevent him from doing anything? Prohibition is not a hobby.
“Can’t you make a worry doll for my dad too? To take some of my worries?”
“No, why should I?”
“If you don’t want to make it, don’t make it. Why are you angry?”
Seung Yul glared at Hyo Jin as if teasing her for flaring up.
“Did you fight with my dad as an adult?”
“Ah, fighting.”
I was the one who got picked on.
How could I, an employee, fight with the employer?
When Seung Yul and I arrived at the arboretum in a car, Gyo Hwan, who had finished work, was also getting out of the car.
“Dad, are you back?”
Gyo Hwan, who was greeting Seung Yul with all the muscles in his face, turned around with a formal greeting when he saw Hyo Jin getting off after him.
“Yul, what should we play with dad today? Shall we play blocks?”
“I will start with the homework that the teacher gave me.”
Why is he like that? Even though he said he didn’t like to be uncomfortable.
Hyo Jin watched the back of Gyo Hwan, who was entering the main house with Seung Yul, and returned to the dormitory.
In front of it, the housekeeper, Pyo, was waiting.
“Ms. Bong? The Madam is looking for you.”
“For me?”
Why is she suddenly looking for me? It’s ominous.
“The chairman is speaking inside, so please wait here until they finish.”
Following the housekeeper, Pyo, into the inner quarters, Hyo Jin became tense at the sound of Ja Hyeon’s voice flowing out from beyond the door.
“You, what have you been doing outside these days?”
“What do you mean?”
At the sound of Gyo Hwan’s voice responding as if he really didn’t know, Hyo Jin had to suppress the desire to run away and had no choice but to stand stiffly by the door listening to the two people talk.
“You, that night, you weren’t working overtime at the company but were with Ms. Bong, right? How could you be with your son’s tutor, even without a woman present. Aren’t you ashamed in front of Yul? If rumors were to spread that the woman teaching your son is the wife of a man who has a fiancée, how could Yul raise his head at school? You told me not to meddle, that there’s no other school for him to transfer to. Are you the one who doesn’t think about Yul at all?”
“Don’t force things. I haven’t done anything shameful to Yul.”
“Are you using Ms. Bong? To cut off Hanna?”
Hyo Jin gasped. She forgot to breathe and waited for his answer.
“That’s not it.”
“If it’s not that?”
Ja Hyeon’s voice rang out beyond the door.
“Are you really in love?”
“Didn’t I say that’s not it?”
“If it’s not that, send out a wedding announcement with Hanna right now.”
“……!”
“Even if you’re not getting married, can’t you do that much for Hanna? Hanna is a public figure. She’s been proclaiming for years in every interview that she has a man to marry. She’s going to become a spinster at this rate.”
“Yul is going to boarding school next year. Can’t you wait until then?”
Frustrated, Gyo Hwan, unusually for him, raised his voice.
“Just as Yul and I are starting to open up and get closer, I don’t want to confuse him because of marriage.”
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.
