My Husband's Lover (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
“Ms. Hae Yeon, let’s go taste the quality test samples.”
Lee So Jung, a junior associate, tapped Hae Yeon’s desk lightly. Hae Yeon had been staring at her monitor. It was only her third day on the job. After hearing that Hae Yeon held various computer software certifications and was skilled in Excel, the employees in the Management Support Team had finally started assigning her tasks.
Though minor, Hae Yeon was grateful simply to be doing real work.
“Tasting quality samples always leaves my mouth feeling dry, even before lunch.”
Seeing Hae Yeon brighten at the suggestion of going to sample tasting, So Jung grumbled unenthusiastically. The Management Support Team was perpetually busy, and the dark circles under Associate Lee’s eyes remained as pronounced as ever.
“Do we in Management also do sample tastings?”
Hae Yeon, still unfamiliar with the specific responsibilities of each department, asked.
“Well, taste is incredibly subjective, so more data is always better. Sales and Marketing do it most often, but we sometimes participate too.”
So Jung kindly explained to Hae Yeon, who was still getting accustomed to her duties. Though Hae Yeon had been on the job for less than a week, her supervisor and the rest of the Management Support Team seemed, on the whole, to be kind-hearted people.
“How does it taste?”
Several people were already in the sample tasting room, trying the new coffee. When So Jung asked her opinion, Hae Yeon hesitated. Normally preferring caffeine-free tea over coffee, she also didn’t know exactly how she was supposed to evaluate it.
Eventually, as Hae Yeon’s cheeks flushed, So Jung gave a knowing, teasing smile without saying a word.
“Ms. Min Hae Yeon, could it be you don’t like coffee? Wow—how’s someone who dislikes coffee supposed to thrive at a coffee-specialty company?”
“Huh? Ah, no, it’s not that…”
Flustered, Hae Yeon stammered, and So Jung burst into giggles.

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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
