Her heart fluttered at the smiling smile that seemed to say, “Look only at me,” and strangely, the worry about things that hadn’t happened yet disappeared.
If it’s this man.
[I’ll do anything if it means you can smile like you do now.]Chaeyoon felt like Jaeo would make that statement possible.
She still didn’t know how Jeongwoong and Kyunghui perceived her, or what had happened between Jaeo and them, but she could gradually find out.
“There’s no answer. Can’t you trust me?”
Having vowed to put aside unnecessary worries, Chaeyoon, with a slightly raised throat, said lightly,
“How can I trust someone who says they won’t catch me and then tricks me…?”
When a playful remark came out, Jaeo lightly laughed and accepted it.
“Did I do that alone? Later, I clung to him saying it was very nice, and the person’s mind…”
The large eyes widened in horror.
Chaeyoon, at the fastest speed among the actions she had taken so far, blocked Jaeo’s mouth.
Then his lips stretched out for a long time. Feeling the sensation of his lips gently rubbing against her palm, Chaeyoon bit the inside of her lips.
Jaeo rolled his eyes, locked eyes with Chaeyoon, and nodded as if he wouldn’t say more.
Although that attitude was somewhat displeasing, he was the one driving.
Chaeyoon didn’t stretch her hand further and quietly lowered it.
As soon as her hand was freed, Jaeo hummed.
“Since we’re talking, how about ordering room service instead of going to a restaurant?”
Chaeyoon’s gaze turned sharply.
Seriously…
“Why do you look at me like that? I’ll do as you wish.”
The eyes that had been glaring at Jaeo gradually widened.
“When did I want that…”
“Okay. Then how about going to the restaurant.”
Chaeyoon blamed herself for bringing up that topic and changed the subject.
“After eating, shall we go for a drive or something nearby?”
“…”
“Why no response?”
“Huh? What did you say?”
It sounded more awkward, as if he hadn’t heard because he was focused on driving.
Jaeo, who had become annoying, looked at Chaeyoon with a teasing smile.
“Ah, really annoying.”
As soon as Chaeyoon expressed her annoyance, Jaeo brightened up.
“I find you so cute when you’re annoyed.”
Then he lifted their joined hands, kissed her palm, and Chaeyoon’s gaze became more affectionate.
“Let go of this.”
“No.”
The hand Jaeo firmly held, as if determined not to let go, did not loosen until they reached the restaurant.
[Star icon]After finishing the meeting with Sangheon and Dokdae, Hoyeon’s first action was to call Kyunghui.
[Dash] Yes, Miss Hoyeon.Even after announcing that they would have another conversation with Iyun Construction, the voice that answered her phone call sounded calm.
Hoyeon’s eyes chilled coldly.
“I saw the article about announcing the intention to have another conversation with Iyun Construction. Lady.”
Starting the conversation with as calm a tone as possible, Hoyeon added coldly.
“There’s no need for that, but if you’re preparing to stab me in the back, it would be better to stop now.”
The corners of Kyunghui’s forehead wrinkled at the words with substance.
[Dash] Don’t misunderstand. We can’t blindly support Cho Yeong’s side, so we made that announcement.“It would have been better if you had discussed and announced it.”
[Dash] I intended to, but thanks to Jaeo, who impulsively threw out the article, we couldn’t help it.At the mention of Jaeo’s name, Hoyeon’s mouth was shut.
[Dash] Please don’t misunderstand. We can’t just side with Cho Yeong, so we made that announcement.“I know what you’re worried about.”
Trying to calm her down, Kyunghui calmly explained.
[Dash] But as it is now, there’s no loss for us even if we let Jaeo do as he wishes. Jaeo also promised to conclude the conversation with the Iyun Construction representative in a way that doesn’t harm the company.“Do you believe those words?”
[Dash] I believe in Jaeo’s situation, not in his words.
It’s evident to everyone that someone is trying to push us out, but what…
Hoyeon’s explanation flowed into the ears of an incomprehending Hoe-yeon.
[Dash] Jaeo doesn’t have any issues bothering him right now. He has handed over the tower project to Suhani, avoiding entanglement with Miss Hoyeon, and things are going well with Song Chaeyoon. In the midst of all this, do you think he cares about where the TK Tower construction company is?While the mention that things were going well with Song Chaeyoon was quite annoying, it was indeed a correct statement.
[Dash] Changing the construction company, and while recovering the investment from Cho Yeong’s side, the risk of the company being dragged down is more profitable than turning Lee Soon’s mind around. Since he knows so well that it’s better to let Jaeo handle the construction company change, just leave it to him.Until now, Jaeo had always prioritized the company’s profit.
[Dash] And we need to let Jaeo do what he says once, so we can demand something in return. Just trust me and wait. Okay?
What Kyunghui meant by the ‘demand’ that Kyunghui would make to Jaeo was a situation where she and Jaeo would be alone.
Therefore, Hoyeon didn’t argue any further.
And now, they are quietly waiting for the outcome of the meeting between Jaeo and the CEO, but the anxiety keeps rising.
[Bring anything.]Hoyeon, reminded of the chilling demeanor of her father, felt her heart pounding nervously.
How much time had passed?
“Team Leader.”
Finally, the results came out.
「Taeyil Group TK Tower construction company changed to Iyun Construction, confirmed.」
Reading the news article, the three of them—Hoyeon, Jungwoong, and Kyunghui—all uttered harsh words simultaneously.
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.”
