The employee added a brief explanation about the black leather watch chosen by Gieon.
“This product has cutting diamonds in the steel bezel, creating a clean yet sophisticated charm. The calf skin strap can be replaced as you use it.”
The personal shopper kindly introduced several watches with designs similar to Gieon’s pick.
“This product is also popular among young people. The bezel is shaped like the brand logo, making it special and feminine. You can also replace the strap.”
While receiving guidance, Gieon, trying various items on Yuin’s wrist, seemed genuinely serious, not just playing around.
“Everything looks good on your wrist. Which one do you like the most?”
“Director.”
“Yeah.”
After responding casually, Gieon asked the employee again, and this time, various ring designs were put on Yuin’s fingers without much choice.
Yuin, with a somewhat awkward joint movement, complained about the discomfort, feeling like an extravagance she didn’t need anything more than a bracelet.
“I’m not enough.”
“It’s mine, so what does it have to do with you not being enough?”
Unlike her sister, Yuin was far from luxury items.
Her naturally quiet disposition favored a simple and neat style in her daily life, and she had no interest in getting close to these jewels, nor did she want to build any friendships.
“Think of it as our house key. Don’t feel burdened.”
“…How is this similar to a house key?”
Just now, on the price tag of the watch that Gieon had just removed from her wrist, it seemed like there was a fleeting glimpse of an eight-digit number.
Yuin urgently grabbed the fingers of the man who seemed to be showing off his high spirits, not like asking for it to stop.
Despite her pleading gaze, Gieon, rather, laughed as if everything was going well.
“Why not try a necklace?”
Even among strong opponents, Gieon was difficult to deal with, almost like a boss. It seemed that she had momentarily forgotten his temper, having not seen him for a few weeks.
At times like this, it was faster to give up on convincing him than to persuade him. Yuin was realizing this once again.
Against her will, Yuin’s wrist, forced to go shopping according to his wishes, proudly displayed the watch that Gieon had initially chosen, shining brightly and showing off its splendid and dignified figure.
“Whose is it? It’s so pretty. Is this why people risk their lives for money?”
“Your words don’t really resonate when you say that, sir.”
Heading down to the underground on the escalator.
Yuin, who was showing a face even more proud than someone who had received a gift, playfully teased the man who reacted strangely.
“Why is the pretty one angry?”
“Don’t pretend not to know everything.”
“I may not know everything about myself, honey. You have to tell me. Don’t you like this? Shall we go exchange it for something else?”
Hazelnut-colored eyes, tinged with a touch of coolness, glanced at Gieon.
The man, widening his eyes exaggeratedly as if surprised, soon burst into laughter, producing a pleasant sound.
“Think of it as an apology gift. After all, I can do that much.”
“It’s too much. I’m always receiving, and I still don’t have the ability to reciprocate.”
“I’ve already received plenty from Nam Yoo-in, so don’t worry about that.”
Gieon, who was looking at the world’s most precious counterpart with an expression of wonder, rounded her eyes and smiled.
“So, you’ve calmed down now?”
“…Not yet.”
“Well. What can I do to help you calm down?”
Yuin, pondering for a moment with a chubby face, suddenly spoke up with an excited voice.
“There’s a famous ice cream shop downstairs. Let’s go there!”
“Will eating that calm you down?”
“Let’s give it a try.”
As Gieon cast a questioning glance, Yuin looked unsure how to handle the person in front of her, and she laughed with a shallow sigh.
“Alright. Let’s go.”
Happily agreeing, Gieon firmly held Yuin’s hand. She gently stroked the soft back of Yuin’s hand revealed beneath the leather strap and then passionately kissed her.
“Yuin, look at this from now on. Every moment you spend, every minute, every second, it’s all mine.”
Yuin, as if following an order, glanced sideways at Gieon’s voice in her ear, and then she smiled brightly like a child.
Hidden beneath the laughter, Yuin’s response to Gieon was engraved deeply in her gentle eyes.
It’s okay. Everything is yours.
Gieon, who would never fail to notice that, strengthened her determination even more.
To make the imagined future I unfolded not vanish into emptiness, to turn it into reality, I must have Yuin without a moment of relaxation.
After eating ice cream and continuing their window shopping at the department store, the two wandered the streets during the leisurely afternoon hours, feeling bored in the crowded indoors.
Whenever they got a bit tired, they entered a visible cafe to rest, then walked out again. It was a perfectly ordinary date.
As Gieon brought Yuin, who was carefully taken care of until the evening, to the front of her house, she asked with a clear expression of regret.
“Are you going in?”
“I have to.”
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.
