Kwon Yul’s mouth gradually lifted, and he asked as if to confirm.
“What did you just say? What man?”
“My man. Mr. Yul is my man, right?”
In an instant, Kwon Yul’s massive upper body narrowed the gap as if it could cover her at any moment. As Seoyeon leaned back, her body swayed, and she slumped down.
“Mr. Yul, I… have to go to work.”
“This is all Seoyeon’s responsibility.”
“Suddenly?”
“Because I’m Seoyeon’s man. So, quickly hug me so that no one else can take me away.”
The impact of saying “my man” was enormous. When his clear abs were revealed, Seoyeon couldn’t dismiss it as a joke.
Unintentionally setting up a script like a perfect match, a subtle atmosphere unfolded between the two.
Seoyeon swallowed her breath, looking at Kwon Yul’s muscular neck and sharp jawline.
“I have to wash up if I’m going to work…”
“I’ll help you. Trust me.”
What he meant by helping and digging into Seoyeon’s clothes repeatedly was unclear.
Seoyeon, holding her breath tightly, quickly glanced at the clock.
There were 2 hours and 30 minutes left until work.
In the realm where every minute and second were precious, there was no time to think deeply.
‘Wouldn’t it be better to move more diligently?’
After organizing her thoughts, Seoyeon tightly embraced Kwon Yul’s shoulders.
A luxurious villa in Hannam-dong, famous for rumors of being bought by a top star.
Seoyeon glanced up at the stylish building’s exterior and quickly turned the steering wheel.
In the quiet street where not a single person was passing by, Seoyeon’s car made a loud noise.
‘Seoyeon, if you think something dangerous might happen, contact me immediately.’
Seoyeon contacted Hojin and Secretary Choi one after another and headed to Bora’s house. As soon as she parked the car inside the public parking lot near the house, Seoyeon took out her phone.
After repeatedly writing and erasing several times, she sent a message with the least damaged content.
Imagining how panicked Bora would be after checking the message, Seoyeon couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
‘Yesterday must have been fun, right? But today will be a different day from yesterday.’
Seoyeon wanted to let Bora know how foolish her actions were and that she had messed with the worst opponent.
At that moment, Seoyeon’s phone rang briefly.
The term “retaliatory lawsuit” was a word that made blood shoot up in reverse.
“This is how you’ll come out. Okay…”
Seoyeon quickly pressed the phone keypad as she curled up one corner of her mouth.
Although a few more vibrations occurred, Seoyeon didn’t even check.
It was better to sit quietly and wait than engage in an exhaustive struggle.
The anxious person was not Seoyeon but Jinbora. There was nothing for Seoyeon to lose.
Then, suddenly, a thought crossed Seoyeon’s mind.
“Oh! A call!”
In the morning, parting ways with Kwon Yul, they had an agreement. They exchanged contact information with Jinbora and Kyungsook, leaving it up to each person to handle.
Wondering if Kwon Yul had already gone, Seoyeon, in her haste, immediately called Kyungsook.
“Mom.”
[How did things go yesterday?]“I’m gradually resolving it. I talked to Hojin, and it seems like it will be resolved more easily than I thought. So, my boyfriend wants to say hello.”
Seoyeon reassured her not to worry with a loud voice.
[What boyfriend?]“My boyfriend. Kwon Yul. His name is also General, cool, right?”
[Are you really going to do this?]With Kyungsook’s cold reaction, Seoyeon became even more shameless.
“Mom. You can’t say hurtful things about Mr. Yul! No insulting him outside the door!”
[You’re really out of your mind. There’s nothing a girl who hasn’t even married can’t do.]“So, I have to make sure I don’t go crazy, and all I can do is make a scene right away.”
Even in her non-threatening threat, Seoyeon believed she had a corner Kyungsook couldn’t ignore.
[Are you crazy? Making nonsense about a twenty-two-year-old university student who hasn’t even graduated? Are you going to talk about marriage or job?]Listening to Kyungsook’s plausible words, Seoyeon, after trembling her lips, spilled out meaningless words.
“Mom. Don’t regret later. Be nice to Mr. Yul from the beginning.”
[No. I don’t know, I don’t know. We won’t meet.]“He might have already left. Mom, please don’t be like that.”
[I’m going to the mountains with your dad and coming back late. Whether you come or not is up to you.]Seoyeon was confident that Kyungsook wouldn’t confront Kwon Yul head-on. Kyungsook couldn’t just pass by a difficult person she had seen since she was young. At least, she seemed likely to listen to what Kwon Yul had to say.
“Mom… I really like Mr. Yul. So, give him a chance.”
At Seoyeon’s earnest request, Kyungsook let out a stormy sigh.
[If you’re coming, come with me. Why come alone? There’s nothing to say.]“I really want to do that. Please don’t give me a hard time.”
[I’m tired of this!]At that moment, beyond the phone, Taeseok’s urgent voice was heard.
[What! Did she really come? Oh my! What on earth is all this?]Startled by Kyungsook’s confusion, Seoyeon quickly shouted.
“Mom! Don’t forget that a daughter from someone else’s house is precious. Don’t bully Mr. Yul!”
[I don’t know. Cut it off!]When the call was abruptly disconnected, Seoyeon covered her eyes with both hands.
Although she wanted to rush to her parents’ house and protect Kwon Yul, that wasn’t what he wanted. Seoyeon decided not to worry and be anxious, even in the unfavorable situation. Once she started to waver, she wouldn’t be able to stop. Feeling her lips drying up, Seoyeon leaned against the driver’s seat headrest, closed her eyes, and let out a sigh.
Tap, tap. At that moment, the sound of tapping on the glass reached her ears.
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.
