“You’re quite particular, aren’t you?”
Young-in agreed with that remark. Ironically, she often felt special when this fussy and sensitive man behaved casually and generously towards her, just like now.
“Is there a reason not to, if it doesn’t harm anyone?”
“Aren’t you considering the inconvenience to Young-in?”
“What inconvenience are you referring to?”
“Unwanted labor.”
Jin-gyo looked at Young-in for agreement. Seong-hyuk also turned to her.
Caught between the two men’s gazes, Young-in was conflicted.
Truthfully, she didn’t agree with Jin-gyo. She had never desired it, but it didn’t feel like labor. However, she couldn’t be honest as it might embarrass Jin-gyo.
“It’s fine, Senior.”
Young-in remained noncommittal and shifted her gaze to Seong-hyuk.
“Is it okay to drop off Senior Jin-gyo first?”
“Sure.”
Despite Seong-hyuk’s easy consent, Jin-gyo didn’t want to feel alienated between the two any longer. He couldn’t bear the subtle closeness they shared anymore.
“No, I’ll take a taxi.”
“Senior.”
“I prefer a taxi.”
“Then I’ll call one for you.”
“No need. I’ll call it myself on my way up. Just take the President home and go straight to yours.”
Unable to argue further, Young-in acquiesced.
“Okay…”
“I’ll call you.”
After a respectful nod to Seong-hyuk, Jin-gyo apologetically patted Young-in’s head and turned away.
Seong-hyuk watched, veins bulging on his temples.
He didn’t see Young-in’s eyes widen momentarily at the touch. He didn’t know it was a first for them. His mood was solely unpleasant.
Seong-hyuk silently smiled as he watched Young-in naturally head towards her designated parking space at the villa.
Just as he remembered everything about Chae Young-in, she seemed to do the same. Realizing this was quite gratifying.
“No need to park. Just get in.”
Seong-hyuk watched as Young-in naturally headed towards her designated parking space upon reaching the villa parking lot, and he smiled silently.
It was quite delightful to confirm that just as he remembered everything about Chae Young-in, she did the same.
“No need to park. Just get in.”
“No, I’ll take a taxi.”
“If I intended to let you take a taxi, I wouldn’t have brought you here. I would have just left the car at the restaurant and picked it up tomorrow.”
He wanted to be with her, not because he disliked taking a taxi, but for Young-in to drive.
“It’s easier for me to take a taxi.”
Hearing the same excuse Seo Jin-gyo had just used made Seong-hyuk’s brows twitch irritably.
“Then I’ll follow you to make sure you get home safely. Is drunk driving okay?”
Young-in stopped the car and turned to him, questioning.
“Would that be okay?”
“That’s why I said just take it.”
“This car, you know Senior Beom-jun knows it’s yours.”
“Ah, right.”
Seong-hyuk pondered for a moment before coming up with an alternative.
“Can’t we just be open about our relationship?”
“What do you want to reveal? That we dated briefly in the past and broke up?”
“No, I don’t like that.”
He firmly refused, then suddenly frowned.
“Why make it so we can’t reveal it. Wouldn’t it be nice to say we’re dating now, about to get married?”
“…….”
Stunned by the unexpected rebuke, Young-in couldn’t respond. Seong-hyuk then thought of a somewhat reasonable plan.
“Park it near another house and go in.”
“What if it gets towed?”
“What’s the big deal about that? If it gets towed, it gets towed.”
“…….”
Unlike the carefree car owner, Young-in was worried about the expensive car getting scratched if towed.
“Your car is at the company, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then drive my car to work tomorrow.”
Young-in’s eyes widened incredulously at his absurd suggestion.
“What if someone sees?”
“So what if they see. You care too much about what others think.”
“How can I not care? Anyone would think it’s strange.”
“That Chae Young-in, the team manager, and Cha Seong-hyuk, the CEO, are having an affair?”
“Yes.”
“It’d be good if they not only thought it but also spread the rumor.”
“…….”
Young-in looked at his smiling lips with a flabbergasted expression. Then Seong-hyuk said something even more shocking.
“You know the ‘Reverse Psychology’ tactic?”
“Just try it.”
Young-in firmly warned him when a faint vibration sound filled the car.
Seong-hyuk unbuckled his seatbelt and reached for the bag in the back seat, handing it to Young-in.
She took out her phone from the bag and saw the caller’s name, hearing his half-joking voice.
“Is it Seo Jin-gyo?”
Indeed, the phone screen displayed ‘Senior Seo Jin-gyo.’
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
