As Seonghyeok stepped into Heeran’s room, he immediately regretted it.
While Seojingyo’s provocations still got on his nerves, Yeongin knew she had no choice. It would be stranger for a manager to refuse to enter an actor’s room than to go in.
“Please, have a seat.”
Suppressing the urge to turn around and leave, Seonghyeok reluctantly sat on the rattan chair Heeran offered.
He thought about quickly finishing the business at hand and leaving, as crazy as the situation was, where someone who asked to be heard would soon become reluctant to listen.
“What do you want to say?”
“Well… it’s not something I should say like this…”
Sitting on the opposite chair, Heeran dragged out the end of her sentence.
“How would you like to hear it?”
“Would you like a glass of wine?”
“I’ll listen like this.”
Heeran, who had quickly adapted to him, didn’t blush despite his firm response. She wasn’t embarrassed or uncomfortable. It would be awkward if Seonghyeok acted affectionately now.
Slightly lowering and then raising her eyelashes, a shy smile adorned her face.
“I want to get closer to you, CEO.”
“Oh, really?”
Like it or not.
Seonghyeok was a bit unsure how to interpret his words, but Heeran quickly concluded that now was not the time to step back.
“Officially or unofficially, it’s okay to meet.”
Looking directly at Seonghyeok, Heeran slowly spoke.
“I have a woman I want to marry.”
“Oh… I see.”
Momentarily surprised, Heeran quickly accepted it.
How many households would be eagerly seeking marriages with the scion of the SL Group, let alone the son-in-law of such a wealthy family?
Heeran, who interpreted his mention of marriage as a strategic marriage and understood his intention to be sorry for the planned marriage, subtly threw a lure.
“Even if you get married, it’s okay.”
“Would you endure being a concubine?”
“I’ll adjust to the CEO’s circumstances as much as possible.”
Seonghyeok chuckled softly at Heeran’s somewhat daring attitude.
“You’re understanding and refreshing.”
With a slight curl of her lips, Heeran responded with a smile.
“I hear that a lot.”
“Are you lacking in sensitivity?”
“What?”
“Seeing how you can’t distinguish between compliments and criticisms, it seems you’re not very sensitive.”
Heeran’s face stiffened.
“Doesn’t seem like you have much self-awareness either.”
Seonghyeok decided not to turn his words around for her, who didn’t seem to understand his meaning.
“Did you think I would naturally accept Ms. Baek Heeran’s proposal? I said I would adjust to your circumstances, and you thought I wouldn’t refuse?”
Heeran thought he would naturally agree to her proposal. She didn’t think he would refuse. If he weren’t the scion of the SL Group, he wouldn’t have made such a radical proposal.
“Do you normally exude confidence?”
Seonghyeok tilted his head, asking.
“Or were you desperate compared to Oh Changgeun?”
“…”
The name Oh Changgeun came out of his mouth.
Heeran’s pupils trembled.
“If you thought I wouldn’t know, you’ve underestimated me. Would the head of an entertainment company not assess the risks of affiliated actors when taking office? Did you think Oh Changgeun refusing to renew the advertising contract, using the excuse of the team leader Cha Yeongin, had no meaning? Didn’t you realize it was an attempt to separate Baek Heeran?”
Heeran, trying to maintain composure, spoke.
“Who said I was rejected by Oh Changgeun?”
“What do you think it means when Oh Changgeun uses Cha Yeongin’s team leader as an excuse and refuses to renew the ad contract? Did you not notice the intention to detach Baek Heeran?”
“…”
“Be more observant. From now on, be cautious when dealing with people.”
Seonghyeok, who stood up from his seat, left the room, leaving her, who was grimacing with embarrassment, behind.
While Seonghyeok received Heeran’s confession, Yeongin, in the same position and on the same chair, was receiving Jin Gyo’s confession.
“After careful consideration, I decided it would be better to confess.”
After pondering for a moment, Yeongin nodded calmly.
“If that’s how you feel, I won’t stop you.”
Rather than maintaining a warm but lukewarm relationship, it seemed better to decisively conclude it.
“Let’s seriously date. I’ll do my best.”
“I already know what answer I’ll give. That’s why I hesitated.”
“I understand.”
Jin Gyo also guessed Yeongin’s inner thoughts, who didn’t want to stop him.
“I’m not ready to meet someone else yet. I’m sorry, senior.”
“What if we try to prepare while meeting? I can wait.”
“I don’t want to make efforts to forget that person completely or to like someone else again.”
Because she realized there were things that couldn’t be helped even with effort. If effort could solve it, she wouldn’t have been struggling because of Cha Seonghyeok.
“Just live like the flow of water. Maybe one day, when you turn around, someone will be there. Well, even if not, I can’t help it.”
“Is that someone next to you not me?”
“Senior, your place is in front of me. I’m the one who watches and supports you from behind, senior.”
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.”
