Even so, when Taeyeon hesitated, Youngji began to negotiate.
However, Dojun seemed to show a firm smile as if he couldn’t let go of Taeyeon.
Dojun politely excused himself from the conversation he was having and bowed.
Dojun’s warm breath reached Taeyeon’s ear.
“All the men in this space are looking at you.”
“What?”
“So, stay close to my side.”
Dojun gradually straightened up.
After smiling at Taeyeon, he quickly concluded the conversation.
Taeyeon, wondering if Dojun had something to say to her, moved to a less crowded corner for a moment.
“Mr. Dojun, it might be good to talk to Taejin unnie.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“No, I’ll go alone.”
Taeyeon thought of discreetly checking if anyone suspicious had been following her recently, and also to find out if Taejin knew anything.
Dojun had an inflexible expression, as if he couldn’t let her go alone.
“It’s okay. We’ll be in the same space anyway. And with so many people around, what could happen?”
Taeyeon reassured Dojun with a smile.
“Mr. Dojun, do you happen to know any close female here?”
As soon as Taeyeon finished her question, Dojun quickly responded.
“There isn’t.”
“Ah…”
Although she was relieved, Taeyeon’s face showed disappointment.
“Why did you ask?”
“Mr. Dojun, it would be nice if you could temporarily leave the seat for a female companion.”
Dojun tried to understand the meaning behind Taeyeon’s words by narrowing his eyes.
However, no matter how much he thought, he couldn’t figure out the intention.
“What do you mean?”
“So, if Mr. Dojun temporarily leaves with a female friend, I can go to Taejin unnie and…”
“I only have one female friend around, and that’s you, Jin Taeyeon.”
Dojun was very serious.
Taeyeon, covering her mouth with her hand, smiled softly and added.
“Mr. Dojun, listen to me. Anyway, if Mr. Dojun disappears like that, Taejin unnie will feel relieved and may provoke me.”
“Even if it’s unlikely, Jin Taejin won’t leave you alone if she starts bad-mouthing you.”
Taeyeon smiled, intertwining her fingers with Dojun’s on the back of his hand.
“I’m not asking you to meet a real woman.”
“I don’t like fakes, and I will never entertain the thought. Even if it’s your request, I can’t comply.”
Seeing Dojun’s resolute face made her burst into laughter.
“That’s good.”
“What do you mean by ‘good’?”
“Mr. Dojun, it’s good that you draw the line so clearly.”
“Of course.”
Dojun stroked Taeyeon’s fingers on the back of his hand and gently intertwined their little fingers.
“Jin Taeyeon, I don’t like you looking at other men, and to be honest, I get jealous even when we breathe the same air.”
“What? What…”
“Seriously.”
Taeyeon slightly bit her lower lip with her tongue.
“I’m sorry. There were many errors in my plan.”
Dojun nodded once in acknowledgment.
Taeyeon fell into contemplation.
Whoever it is, Dojun has to briefly leave my side to approach Taejin and talk.
Dojun seemed like he had no intention of leaving, sticking to me like gum.
Right on cue, Taehwan, Dojun’s long-time friend and the organizer of today’s charity bazaar, approached us and greeted us warmly.
“Hello, I’m Taehwan, a friend of Dojun’s.”
“Hello. I’m Jin Taeyeon.”
“I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“Yeah.”
Worried that Taehwan might say something unnecessary, Dojun looked at him with a cold gaze.
“Why don’t you two talk? I also have someone to meet briefly.”
“Can I borrow Dojun for a moment?”
“Yes. But be sure to return him.”
Smiling, Taeyeon pleasantly chatted with Dojun.
Observing them moving away, there was someone watching with intense interest.
Dressed flamboyantly, Taejin, armed with splendor, was the protagonist.
Taejin’s ears were filled with praise for Taeyeon.
“Is that woman Cha Dojun’s wife?”
“Yeah. It’s the first time they’ve publicly shown such an appearance.”
“Cha Dojun, the head of the main office, returned from working in the U.S. because he missed his wife so much.”
“Really? That makes sense. How could he leave such a beautiful woman alone in Korea?”
Looking at Taeyeon, Taejin’s knuckles turned red due to clenching her fist tightly.
Seeing her expression, Yeongji caught her eye and subtly blocked Taejin’s gaze.
“Taejin, want to have a drink?”
“Yeah, I need it. I’m not in a good mood.”
Even as she sipped wine, Taejin’s gaze unknowingly turned toward Taeyeon.
‘What’s so pretty about that plain dress……’
But even though it angered her, Taeyeon still looked beautiful to her eyes.
If she had known Taeyeon was coming, she would have paid more attention to her clothes and makeup.
She thought she would be the center of attention at today’s bazaar.
However, unexpectedly, Taeyeon appeared and stole all the attention.
Drinking her anger away, Taejin’s eyes met Taeyeon’s in the air.
Taeyeon was approaching with a bright smile.
Taejin pretended not to notice and engaged in a conversation with Yeongji.
Suddenly, Taeyeon, who had arrived at the table, greeted her warmly.
“Unnie, how have you been?”
Watching this, anger welled up inside her.
The threat Dojun had given to President Jin came to mind.
Taejin forced a tight smile and spat out her words.
“Do you really care how I’ve been?”
Her words carried a thorn.

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?!

- 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.
