I Became a Mother (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
“I’ll head in first. Team Leader Nam, don’t follow me—just go home right away.”
The female staff from the secretarial office, watching Kyo Hwan leave his office, bowed respectfully and then gathered together, chattering excitedly.
“Something’s definitely off. It feels like something’s happened to the CEO, doesn’t it?”
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen him clock out on the dot since I joined the company.”
“Did you see it this morning? Him placing his son’s photo on his desk?”
“When I handed in my report, I said, ‘Oh, is that your son? He’s so cute and handsome!’ And then—get this—the CEO!”
What did he say? What exactly happened?
“He beamed with a bright smile! I’ve never seen him smile since I started here, but it was absolutely a premium-grade smile!”
“Team Leader, something really must’ve happened to the CEO, right?”
Unable to bear listening any longer, Team Leader Nam stood up, clearly unable to contain his curiosity any further.
“CEO, did I do something wrong?”
Kyo Hwan, who had just pressed the elevator button, turned to look at Team Leader Nam trailing behind him.
“No. Thanks to you. Teacher Bong is coming back too. Why?”
Kyo Hwan had informed Hyo Jin about listing her clothes on a secondhand marketplace, enabling her to sell them and use the proceeds to cover her grandmother’s security deposit, which ultimately allowed Kyo Hwan to succeed in his threefold invitation.
Of course, Ja Hyun, who’d never liked Hyo Jin from the start, had thrown quite a tantrum.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
