By the looks of it, there were watches, tie pins, cufflinks something like that. Was it really okay for her to touch them carelessly?
While Eun Jo was contemplating, a box of macarons caught her eye.
“Ah, my legs……”
She sat down on the floor and for a while, bit her lip while looking at the pretty, colourful treats.
Let’s at least make some conversation… she’s a friend, after all. She picked up her mobile phone that was nearby.
“Sora.”
[Eun Jo! Where are you?]
“I’m still…… working. Is it okay to talk now?”
[Hey, why didn’t you respond to my message the day before yesterday?]
“Sorry, I forgot because I thought I’d respond later. I’ve been out of it.”
[Hmph, I’ve been feeling pretty down these days. I’m not sure if I’m doing it right. I can’t even sleep because I’m scared! You’re busy every day. I don’t even have anyone to talk to.] In the end, Sora sobbed first, even though Eun Jo wanted to cry.
What does she mean, she’s got wedding blues? She would have died without her boyfriend, now what is she anxious about?
Eun Jo, who had thought maybe Sora might ask to borrow some money, couldn’t even speak.
It’s not an easy job. It was no different because they were best friends.
Eun Jo blew on her hot back hand with her lips.
“……It’s getting more red.”
Ding
[Who are you going to have dinner with? Is it Kwon Jae Ha?] Don’t leave him to do it alone, you clean up to the inside of his molars, got it!
[That clean freak. He doesn’t even understand when it’s about leaving the kid. Don’t worry and enjoy your date.] “A date…… I haven’t even had dinner yet.”
Checking the time, Eun Jo picked up a pink macaron and bit into it.
I need to go home quickly. If I run into him gulp.
Kch.
As soon as the wild rose scent subtly spread in her mouth, her throat suddenly closed up and her eyes stung.
“…….”
Why did the half of the pink cookie, that had crumbled and fallen to the floor, look so pitiful?
The moment she tapped her heavy chest, she noticed a black shoe.
“What are you sneaking to eat?”
“Wha! Gulp.”
“It’s okay, chew slowly and swallow.”
Jae Ha, who had sat down with one knee bent, matched eye level with Eun Jo.
As if looking at a gentle animal, he lowered his eyebrows and looked softly at her. Then he suddenly reached out his hand.
“……!”
It was a moment. His thumb gently brushed over Eun Jo’s lower lip.
He casually slipped that finger into his own mouth and then took it out, smiling at Eun Jo.
“It’s sweet.”
“What…… are you doing? And I didn’t steal it! Someone gave it to me. Told me to eat it.”
Eun Jo, who rubbed her lips, quickly stood up from her seat. She wanted to straighten her back with confidence, but her stomach was ticklish and her legs were weak.
“Not stolen food, but stolen kiss.”
“Huh?”
It’s mine. Jae Ha, who had also stood up, pointed to Eun Jo’s chest with his chin.
Eun Jo alternated between looking at her own Tshirt and Jae Ha’s dressedup shoulders.
“I, I didn’t know. Lee Yeon Kyung gave it to me to wear at work…….”
“As if you’re not a thief cat.”
“Don’t call me that.”
During the time they lived together, Jae Ha often teased Eun Jo, who tiptoed around him, as a thief cat.
He, who rejected even the minimum material compensation while teasing a dependent human as a thief cat.
[Buy a book with that money. Not clothes, but a book.]What a strange thing to say.
“By any chance, are you not saving it? You have a lot of Tshirts. I didn’t sweat, but I still washed it…….”
“Eun Jo, you had a tough day today.”
A little. Eun Jo, who nodded her head, stepped back like a cat that had really been caught stealing something, watching Jae Ha’s reactions.
It was dangerous. She didn’t know exactly why, but her heart was warning her. Get out of here quickly.
“Can I do the rest tomorrow?”
“Sure, tomorrow.”
As Eun Jo, who breathed a sigh of relief, unwittingly formed a pretty smile on her lips, Jae Ha reciprocated with a grin.
“Sand, and then blood. The next day, and then the next.”
“…….”
Eun Jo, who quickly bit her lips and lifted her chin, shot a glance at the man’s slightly parted, red lips.
If she lifted her gaze higher, there would be black pupils full of mockery. The ones that shone coldly in the grey twilight of the police station parking lot.
The thought crossed her mind that she might want to slap the cheek of this cunning creditor.
It was a relief, perhaps, that she knew all too well that he was the kind of person who would repay a blow ten times, a hundred times over.
Why did such a thing have to happen to our Min Ah, and why did this man have to reappear?
Before she knew it, her gaze had fallen and lingered on the man’s neat yet tight necktie knot.
“Saying that I’ll do anything… it means I’m grateful to that extent. I told you clearly, I’ll repay the money with money.”
As she let out the words, she thought they sounded unbelievable. When, and how?
“Eun Jo, there are many ways to make money easily.”
“I don’t want to hear such a lecture here and now.”
“If your 1 minute. No, 30 seconds are worth a million won.”
Even if you don’t want to hear it The figure of Jae Ha, leaning back and straightening his torso, wasn’t trying to teach her.
“Even if I’m willing to pay.”
It was an audacious and utterly impudent proposal.
“In exchange for a proper greeting.”
It was an instant when he pulled Eun Jo into his arms.
“……!”
“Nice to meet you, Yoon Eun Jo.”
Jae Ha, who held a stiffened Eun Jo in his arms, whispered softly.
Welcome to my house.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”

She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
