“What… what. You…!”
“Yes, that’s right! Why are you interfering in our business?”
Among the group, a particularly thin woman came forward as if to provide support for a woman named Min Young.
However, that supportive stance only served to fuel Chae Ha’s anger.
“Well, the conglomerate you’re talking about seems to be me.”
“….!”
“There’s another thing. You seem to be greatly mistaken.”
As Chae Ha approached with large strides, a threatening atmosphere was created by his large frame alone.
Chilled to the bone by his frosty demeanor, the three women took a small step back.
However, Chae Ha’s cold gaze froze them in their tracks.
“Min Seol Won didn’t sell anything to anyone. On the contrary, I sold my soul to Min Seol Won.”
“What…?”
“Disappointed because it’s not what you expected? You seem to have been spreading rumors that my wife used some scheme to snag a conglomerate.”
With a slight start, it seemed clear from their reaction that they had been spreading baseless rumors here and there.
According to James, the three naturally resigned, but even that was described as being ‘betrayed’, it seemed they had felt quite wronged.
For Chae Ha, it was ridiculous to see them harboring unjust resentment towards others without considering the consequences of their actions.
These were the people he despised the most.
“Oh dear. I was so desperate to marry Min Seol Won. No matter how many expensive gifts I gave or begged, she kept pushing me away, it was so hard to get married. Even now, thinking about that time makes me dizzy.”
“Kwon, Kwon Chae Ha.”
Seol Won, flustered, tried to intervene, but Chae Ha didn’t give her a chance.
After scoffing at the three women, he turned to Seol Won with a very affectionate look on his face.
“My wife is a woman of a different class from the likes of you.”
At that, the three women’s faces turned beet red.
Chae Ha was still scanning them with a frosty gaze.
Two of the women had already shrunken down, bowing their heads, but among them, the woman named Min Young seemed not to be ordinary.
With a scowl, she shot a glare at both Chae Ha and Seol Won.
“So a man who claims to be a conglomerate is interfering in a petty women’s fight, seems like you have nothing better to do?”
“Uh, sister! Let’s just go.”
“Yes. Min Young sister.”
“Ah, let me go! Why should we retreat after listening to such words?”
“If you don’t back off, what will you do?”
Crack, the sound of shattered flower pot fragments on the floor was heard.
At the sound, the two women quickly grabbed Min Young’s arm in fright.
“Let’s go, sister! Let’s just go.”
“Let go of me! Just because he’s a conglomerate, is that it? What did we do wrong? So annoying!”
Watching the three women disappear while dragging each other, Chae Ha clicked his tongue again.
Seol Won might have wanted to completely wipe out this place, but she knew it was already on its verge of selfdestruction.
“Mr. Kwon Chae Ha.”
Seol Won, who had approached without him noticing, grabbed Chae Ha’s sleeve.
Then, noticing UJu standing at the back, she gestured for him to come over.
It seemed like Chae Ha had instructed him to wait obediently.
Soon, UJu scampered over and clung to Chae Ha’s legs.
Smiling as if it was nothing out of the ordinary, he was stuck like glue to the hat with all his limbs.
“Did you defeat the bad guys, King Daddy?”
“Yes, did you see them run away?”
“Yeah! They’re bad people who bullied mommy! They’re villains!”
Seeing the innocent and cheerful UJu, it seemed impossible to maintain a serious demeanor.
So Seol Won lightly chided him.
“You didn’t really need to intervene, you know.”
“No, I had every right to intervene. I used to be a passerby, but now, I’m your husband.”
At Chae Ha’s statement, which sounded as if he had been preparing for it, Seol Won retorted as if to argue.
“I wasn’t planning to just stand there and do nothing. I was about to throw something.”
At her words, the towering Chae Ha halted in his steps.
UJu, who had been tightly holding his hand, looked up at the two adults with a confused look.
Chae Ha’s gaze lingered on the flower in Seol Won’s hand, and he shook his head gravely.
“Don’t throw flowers at just anyone with your beautiful hands.”
“…”
Seol Won, at a loss for words, opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Lately, he had become increasingly straightforward.
Kwon Chae Ha, who effortlessly blurted out phrases that could be deemed cheesy, whether at home or outside.
But with UJu nodding his small head as if agreeing with Chae Ha’s words, she found it hard to refute strongly.
Chae Ha soon added a legitimate reason to his statement.
“Flowers are too precious to be thrown at such people. Isn’t that right, little one?”
“Yeah! Pretty flowers are too precious!”
Chae Ha, who kept putting words into UJu’s mouth, seemed ridiculous, and so Seol Won nodded.
It did make sense upon hearing it.
Hadn’t she felt the same way when she worked at Lora and James and saw those three people as not suitable to even touch flowers?
“Alright, let’s quickly clean up and go.”

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?!

- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
