“Ha, as expected.”
In Ho muttered to himself while looking around.
“What?”
The sharp voice quickly pricked In Ho’s ears.
Only then did he realize that he was facing Hye Kyung again.
“No, I didn’t say anything.”
In Ho replied shamelessly with a composed face.
When he first experienced Hye Kyung’s violence, his whole body stiffened like a rock, but now he wasn’t particularly afraid.
What could be more frightening when he could read the opponent’s moves?
He thought it might be better to just endure and hit back if necessary.
People adapt quickly, they say. In this regard, In Ho was much more adaptable than ordinary people.
‘By the way, it seems like this is the in-law’s house… Was there such a place?’
While feeling Hye Kyung’s gaze, In Ho looked around.
Certainly, the interior seemed to match the house he visited during the early days of their marriage, but it was strangely different.
Unlike the memories of a sophisticated and clean place, it felt damp, humid, and the lighting was low, giving an unnecessary sense of intimidation.
It was so unpleasant that he didn’t want to stay for a moment.
In Ho shivered and looked back at Hye Kyung.
Her eyes were narrowed, scrutinizing him.
It was a gaze that thoroughly examined him.
It was quite uncomfortable, so In Ho frowned and asked.
“But why did you call me?”
It was unthinkable that Soo Yeon would come here on her own.
Coming to this eerie corridor must be because Hye Kyung called her.
Just thinking about the obvious fact made him feel worse.
‘How can someone without the qualifications of a mother dare to call my wife here?’
The uncomfortable emotions that he had suppressed for a long time began to emerge one by one.
For some reason, he felt that it was a good decision to switch bodies with Soo Yeon.
As Soo Yeon, he could do things that In Ho, who had to pretend to be ignorant about anything related to this house, couldn’t do.
“Can’t you hear me? Why did you call me?”
Despite his bold attitude, Hye Kyung chuckled and couldn’t continue speaking.
The sudden change in expression and behavior, not to mention knowing the reason for coming to the house, made it pointless to ask why she called.
Wasn’t it enough to say that she didn’t hear my words?
Listening to the question he just asked in Soo Yeon’s voice was stupefying.
No, rather than that, it was more irritating to see someone like Choi Soo Yeon boldly raising her head and speaking fluently in front of him.
“Choi Soo Yeon.”
“Yes.”
“Are you starting again?”
Hye Kyung sneered, narrowing her eyes.
She had done this once before, and it seemed like something was wrong with this woman’s head.
‘Otherwise, there’s no way she would behave like this.’
Hye Kyung confirmed it once again.
However, Soo Yeon, who looked pale a few minutes ago, was now showing a flushed face.
Was that all? The trembling figure disappeared, and she confidently stood before him.
Hye Kyung didn’t show it on her face, but she was extremely confused.
“Suddenly, it’s not like you’re concerned about my health. I don’t really understand the intention of your question, but what should I say if you want me to answer? If you have a desired answer, please tell me. I’ll respond accordingly.”
Huh.
A sigh escaped from Hye Kyung at In Ho’s follow-up.
Even seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe it.
To me, what?
“What did you just say?”
“If you have a desired answer, please say it.”
“Huh, what?”
“Is my words difficult for you to understand? I asked you because you seem to prefer the style of responding like that.”
“Difficult, what??”
Hye Kyung’s pupils shook violently, and the tips of her fingers trembled.
It was unclear whether all the words I heard with my own ears were correct.
Normally, he would have threatened Soo Yeon with a coercion that could bend her spirit in one go, but now, he couldn’t think of anything as unexpected words kept coming in.
In this situation, all he could do was release a cold sigh, “Huh.”
But the person who created this situation was tilting her head nonchalantly with an extremely composed face.
It was a gaze that strangely ignored her, expressing that she couldn’t understand her repeating the same question.
Hye Kyung brought her hand to the back.
I felt the neck muscles stiffening.
Whether she knew it or not, the rosy lips once again shook with arrogance.
“So, what I mean is if you have an answer you want to hear or something you want, just speak comfortably, that’s it.”
“Ha, you, now.”
“Anyway, whatever answer I give won’t please you. You’ll catch it and twist it again. I don’t want to be a rat, and I don’t have the desire to be caught.”
“Hey!!”
Hye Kyung shouted, tensing her grip on the back of her hand.
It felt like blood from my whole body was rushing to my head.
Not only the neck but also the muscles of the whole body stiffened.
“Ah, my eardrums are going to fall off. What should I do if a noble person like you shouts so indelicately? I can hear you just fine without shouting. You are truly someone to learn from.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
