Her eyes, devoid of any color and seemingly empty, were filled with murderous intent.
Just as Se Ji raised her hand again, a knock and Je Ha entered in good timing.
Se Ji’s eyes turned towards Je Ha.
“I thought there was no one in front. Ah, Secretary Im, you may leave now. We have something to discuss.”
“But Secretary Im is in the middle of a conversation with me.”
Se Ji spoke, a ghastly grin spreading at the corners of her mouth.
“You should focus on resolving the issue rather than pulling back in situations like this.”
“…….”
“I have some information from a friend in the HK Group, would it be appropriate to discuss it here with Secretary Im?”
Se Ji sighed heavily, and then dismissed Secretary Im.
“Go ahead.”
“It seems that Kang Nok Hyun might be detained.”
“Why?”
“On charges of murdering Seo Tae In.”
Murder?
Se Ji slowly shook her head.
“If that’s the case.”
“If it turns out he actually committed the murder, he’ll be stripped of his inheritance rights.”
Se Ji looked down at his cold palms and chuckled faintly.
Je Ha was right. He had wasted his energy on a pointless matter.
After speaking with Arin, Tae In’s mind was a whirlwind.
She could understand why her stepmother and sisters might do such a thing, but she couldn’t understand why her own father would try to kill her.
“Even if he did, I’m his biological child. Arin must be mistaken.”
Left alone before Nok Hyun arrived, Tae In thought and thought again.
Losing her memory didn’t mean she should simply wait, she had to somehow find the culprit.
When she saw Arin on the screen, Tae In felt instinctively that Arin was in danger.
She noticed a faint bruise hidden within her hair.
Arin could be in a position similar to hers or even worse within that house.
“I have to save Arin.”
Why can’t she make simple deductions while she’s good at multiplication?
Tae In, remembering Arin’s face, continued her calm thoughts.
If someone tried to kill me, what would be the reason?
Nok Hyun had said that Tae In was not the kind to trample and snatch away what belonged to others.
Then it means they did it because they coveted what she had.
No matter how much she thought about it, it couldn’t be her father. It made no sense for her father, a chairman, to have less than Tae In, even though she didn’t know much.
Even if he did want what she had, it was absurd to want to possess those small and precious possessions so much as to become a murderer.
What if it was not about what she already owned, but about what she might inherit?
“Yes, the inheritance.”
At that moment, she heard a car noise through the slightly open window.
It was Nok Hyun indeed. Tae In walked quickly towards him and embraced him.
She had thought about so many things while alone that her head hurt.
Although Tae In was the first to hug him, Nok Hyun only let go of her after a while.
“Thank you for today.”
At Tae In’s words, Nok Hyun gently stroked her head with a faint smile.
Then he handed over to Tae In the teddy bear he had received from Arin.
Nok Hyun looked somehow tired.
“Aren’t you coming in?”
Feeling something odd, Tae In asked Nok Hyun.
“I have some backlogged work, I need to go straight away.”
His voice sounded even more curt than usual.
Although his touch was as affectionate as ever.
“You look tired, can’t you go tomorrow?”
“It’s urgent. I might not be able to come for a while.”
After saying only that, he turned to leave, but Tae In hugged him from behind.
“Then just a bit longer.”
“…”
“I won’t be greedy, just a bit.”
Tae In clung tightly to Nok Hyun’s back, burying her face as if she were charging herself.
She wasn’t sure why, but she had an ominous premonition.
“….You really are.” His low, damp voice touched her ears, and then Nok Hyun turned around. Before she could take his abysslike eyes into hers, Nok Hyun had covered Tae In’s lips. Surprised by the sensation of being swallowed that came so strongly, Tae In belatedly closed her eyes.
Unaware that she had shut her mouth tightly, Nok Hyun’s hand gently clasped Tae In’s chin and made her open her mouth.
The breath that came straight in was ceaselessly and obstinately exploring her delicate membrane, more like wanting to confirm something than sharing emotions.
The obscene friction sound and the humming breath mingled, and she felt embarrassed, but before she could carry on with that thought, Nok Hyun pushed harder.
The kiss was in a different dimension from the previous one, it felt as if she was being devoured.
Even so, rather than pushing him away, Tae In tightly embraced Nok Hyun’s neck.
If you want to confirm, feel free to do so.
Tae In accepted Nok Hyun as if she were saying that.
Nok Hyun lifted Tae In in his arms and leaned her against the wall. The sound of the heartbeat coming from their bodies, tightly intertwined without an inch of space, made Tae In’s mind far away.

Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
