“Be careful with your words. If you say something wrong, we might end our relationship today.”
“Do you really want to end our relationship today, Professor?” Na Young’s echoing of his words about ending their relationship visibly hurt Tae Hyuk.
Na Young asked Cha Hyun to explain, “Why did Lee Ju Ah’s heart change?”
Cha Hyun glanced at Tae Hyuk but realized there was no way to help him today, so he relayed what he had deduced.
“Lee Ju Ah’s heart was moved because Tae Hyuk, who had always been cold and dismissive towards her, sincerely thanked her for the declaration at the end. It seems that genuine gratitude swayed her heart.”
Seung Hee, a romance novel enthusiast, nodded in agreement, her face showing complete understanding.
“I think you’re right. Women often fall for bad boys even if they behave terribly a hundred times, as long as they do something nice once.”
Tae Hyuk glared at both of them, feeling as if they were burying him alive in front of his face.
Now, Na Young’s gaze was filled with nothing but thin ice when she looked at him.
Tae Hyuk couldn’t even make excuses that he had obtained the declaration for her.
“But it’s not entirely Tae Hyuk’s fault,” said Cha Hyun, finally taking his side, which almost brought tears to Tae Hyuk’s eyes.
“Lee Ju Ah signed the declaration unexpectedly. Expressing gratitude for that is just basic human decency. But what’s strange, as you both said, is that Lee Ju Ah is so arrogant and dismissive that it’s unlikely she would sign so easily. Why did she?”
Cha Hyun looked at Tae Hyuk with a questioning gaze, wondering if he had missed something.
Realizing something, Tae Hyuk’s eyes narrowed. “Ah! After I gave Lee Ju Ah the declaration, I ran into Yoon Ina by chance.”
Hearing that name, Na Young’s expression turned stone-cold.
“Yoon Ina must have heard Lee Ju Ah shouting and asked me what happened.”
Cha Hyun rubbed his chin thoughtfully, speculating, “Maybe Yoon Ina influenced Lee Ju Ah to sign the declaration. But she couldn’t have known it would change Lee Ju Ah’s heart. That’s unpredictable for anyone. So, I’m not sure what Yoon Ina’s intention was.”
Disturbed just by the mention of Yoon Ina, Na Young stood up abruptly.
“That’s enough. I don’t want to know anymore. Everyone, please leave.”
As Na Young turned to leave, Tae Hyuk quickly grabbed her. “If you leave like this, it’ll seem like I really did something wrong.”
“Let go of me!”
“I can’t! I’m truly innocent.”
Watching Tae Hyuk desperately holding onto Na Young, Seung Hee resumed eating the snacks Tae Hyuk had earlier snatched from her.
“Wow, this is intense.”
While Seung Hee found the situation amusingly interesting, making her snacks taste even better, Cha Hyun wore a serious expression.
“…….”
Cha Hyun sensed that the reason Na Young called him today would lead to a cooling period in his relationship with Tae Hyuk for some time.
But he couldn’t ignore Na Young’s request for help because she didn’t seem to have a strong mental fortitude.
He couldn’t leave her to the emotionally unaware Tae Hyuk, as it might only lead them astray.
Deep down, Na Young knew the truth. Professor Choi Tae Hyuk hadn’t done anything wrong.
But that didn’t ease her heart.
Yoon Ina’s obsession with Tae Hyuk and Lee Ju Ah falling for him were all real events.
Could it be that she chose the wrong person?
Such thoughts even crossed her mind.
And if what Yoon Ina wanted was to shake her, Na Young felt extremely upset.
Knock, knock.
“Please come in.”
Hearing the gentle female voice from inside, Na Young clenched her fist tightly.
Click.
As Na Young opened the door and entered, Yoon Ina looked at her without much surprise.
The last time Na Young had visited this room was to acknowledge her mistake regarding the incident with Eun Byul, unknowing that it was Yoon Ina’s intention.
With lingering emotions from the past, Na Young’s gaze at Yoon Ina was not exactly friendly.
“I’ve come to talk to you about something important,” Na Young said.
“Oh? What is it?”
Na Young could have directly confronted Yoon Ina about Lee Ju Ah’s matter, but she chose not to.
It was too late for such confrontations now. This situation was different from the one with Eun Byul.
Back then, addressing the cause could have changed the outcome, but now it was impossible; Lee Ju Ah’s feelings had already changed.
“I’m officially dating Professor Choi Tae Hyuk,” Na Young declared.
This statement shook the previously calm demeanor of Yoon Ina.
“So, please give up on any remaining feelings you have for Professor Choi Tae Hyuk.”
Na Young didn’t truly believe that Yoon Ina would easily let go of her feelings, but it was necessary to make this clear, for her own peace of mind.
“Choi Tae Hyuk and I first met when we were twenty. It’s been 14 years now,” Yoon Ina suddenly reminisced, then turned the question to Na Young, “What were you doing back then?”
Na Young’s eyes shattered like glass. Back then, she was receiving psychiatric counseling for the aftermath of her kidnapping.
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.”
