The discussion about ‘what women like’ ended around dawn.
With the advice of his subordinates in his head, Kevrant returned to the room.
Iris was still sound asleep.
Kevrant sat by her side, stroking Iris’s head.
“If Lady Windy dreamed of animals, she probably likes animals… It’s sure to give a gift of what she likes. These days there are a lot of pretty puppies, how about giving her a small and cute one?”
It was Nathan who said so.
A small and cute puppy.
A cute animal for Iris is enough for me.
After Kevrant transformed into a wolf, he curled up by her bedside and closed his eyes.
+++
I had a very good dream.
It was a dream in which Windy, instead of Iris’s hand, took the apple given by Iris and cuddled up.
I woke up in a good mood, but my cheek tickled. I carelessly raised my hand, and I felt something rough.
‘What is it?’
When I turned my head, a thick tail came into my sight.
A thick tail that is pitch black and has good hair texture.
‘Kevrant?’
When I turned my head to the left, the big face of the black wolf was visible.
The wolf was sleeping unaware of the world.
The fangs slightly protruding from between the lips and the quiet breathing sound with a small resonance.
Iris turned her head back to the tail. I thought it would feel good to bury my face in the rough tail. When I gently grabbed the tail and rubbed it against my face, the wolf squirmed with a “grunting” sound.
It wasn’t meant to wake up.
Iris quickly took her hand off the tail. As if the hind legs near the tail were flapping, the wolf flipped over.
Iris sat up and looked down at the wolf.
The black wolf, which only looks threatening when awake, lying on its back with its legs up and revealing its belly, was so cute that it made me laugh.
‘You sleep well.’
The two big front paws moved wrigglingly.
Is it dreaming of running in the plains?
The big front paws, which are sure to look threatening usually, were incredibly cute, moving rhythmically.
Iris watched the dreaming wolf for a long time without knowing the time passing by.
This time, the wolf, who had been grunting as if it had been attacked, woke up with a “Woof!”.
The black and deep eyes wandered in the air and stopped at Iris.
“Iris.”
The voice of Kevrant as a wolf was more solemn than when he was a human.
But what’s the use of being solemn now?
I’ve already seen you flipping over and clicking your front paws, squirming.
“Why is my wife smiling full of mockery this morning?”
“It’s not mockery, Kevrant. It’s just… um, a smile.”
“It doesn’t seem so.”
Lick
The wolf licked the corner of Iris’s mouth.
“Did I talk in my sleep, Iris?”
“No, you were sleeping quietly.”
If I said he was squirming and clicking, he didn’t seem to sleep next to me as a wolf again.
“Hmm…”
As if he didn’t believe it, Kevrant squinted and stared at Iris, then jumped off the bed.
Iris, guessing what kind of scene would unfold in front of her, quickly turned her head.
Soon, the voice of human Kevrant came right behind Iris’s ears.
“Iris, why are you turning your head?”
“Quickly put on your clothes.”
“You are being coy when you have already seen it.”
“I haven’t seen it. I was so surprised I couldn’t even see it properly.”
“Lie. I saw the startled look in your eyes.”
“Just put on your clothes, Kevrant.”
When Iris said in a scolding tone, Kevrant chuckled.
The sound of putting on clothes was heard.
“Iris, go somewhere with me today.”
“Where?”
“You’ll know when you go.”
Iris, who didn’t know that Kevrant discussed ‘what women like’ with his subordinates until dawn last night, wondered where Kevrant, who was sleepdeprived, wanted to go.
The rustling sound of putting on clothes disappeared, but Iris was still turning her head.
When it seemed like Kevrant was approaching the bed, his fingers touched Iris’s back.
His fingers going down along the spine were clearly felt beyond the thin slip.
“Instead of wearing something like this.”
His index finger stopped near the tailbone and fell off.
“Dress in commoner’s clothes. Because I want to move comfortably.”
+++
“Commoner’s clothes?”
When she informed the maids in the reception room of today’s outfit, Christina’s eyes rounded.
“Oh my. You seem to be going on a date.”
“A date? There’s no way.”
“Why not?”
“Why would you say that?”
“We’re already married.”
“What does that matter? If you want to do something, that’s dating.”
Dating.
An occasion when a man and a woman who like each other meet and spend a good time.
In her past life, Iris had never had a date.
Of course, she had heard about it a lot. Brittany had always bragged about it. She watched a play at the request of a handsome knight, attended an exhibition at the request of a handsome selfportrait… Brittany always had a ‘handsome’ man.
Going on a date with a man she likes was something faroff for Iris.
Before marriage, it was in Wittlo, and after marriage, it was in Hootchis.
Iris was just overwhelmed by survival.
When male lead is the homewrecker
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
I’ve read the novel below twice already. Girls, I’m highly recommending it to you!
The female lead? Not a good person.
The second male lead? Not a good person.
The male lead? Willingly plays the third party, breaking up the female and second male lead’s relationship despite all the warnings from his friends—so yeah, he’s definitely not a good person either.
Basically, nobody in this novel is simple-minded or without scheming.
The female lead starts off as the male lead’s secretary, but don’t worry—later on, she takes over the company while the male lead steps back to support her. He won’t steal her spotlight, overshadow her, or dull her shine.
I love novels where men are out here snatching wigs, tearing each other down, and going to war just to win the female lead’s affection. And this is exactly that kind of novel. Most of Hai Dai Ran’s works have this dynamic. You’ll see the male characters’ emotions being pushed to the absolute extreme.
There’s even a scene where the second male lead exposes the male lead online for being a homewrecker. The brotherhood immediately gangs up on him, dragging him through the mud. I find it compelling —it completely flips reality on its head, where usually, women are the ones fighting over a man and getting torn apart by the sisterhood.
For me, female leads in the novels I read should only struggle in their careers, not in love. But if the brainless romantics in the story are all men? I have zero complaints.
I’ve pretty much read all of Hai Dai Ran’s novels and even translated all of them—her works are just my thing. I’ll slowly upload everything here. One day, when my website is official, I hope I can invite her to join as one of the star authors.
Here’s the story synopsis:
One-line summary: She is his lifelong obsession, to the point where he was willing to be a third wheel, scorned by society, just to wedge his way into her relationship with her fiancé.
Cold-hearted and indifferent female lead + Scheming and subservient CEO male lead
Intro 1:
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
With blood trickling from his clenched fist, Rong Xiu gazed at the woman before him, his eyes clouded with anguish. Hidden in the wardrobe, he had witnessed Fan Xia – the woman he desperately loved – in an intimate embrace with her fiancé. Yet his heart still yearned for her, defying all reason.
Fan Xia, the elegant and composed assistant, carried something mysterious in her eyes whenever she looked at her fiancé, Wen Lan Sheng. Strange occurrences began to surface – secret meetings with the young Gu Jin Yi, an unexplained withdrawal of 5,000 yuan… Then suddenly, her fiancé’s sister, Wen Jing, violently attacked her.
In this matriarchal society, Rong Xiu had risen to become the chairman of a powerful healthcare conglomerate, breaking through gender prejudices. But for the first time, he willingly stepped into the shadows as the other man, disregarding his friends’ warnings to become her secret lover.
Because he had discovered the truth – Fan Xia wasn’t the pure angel everyone believed her to be. And perhaps, he was the only one capable of helping her execute her mysterious plan…
Intro 2:
Rong Xiu’s biggest regret in life was missing out on Fan Xia.
He secretly loved Fan Xia for 7 years.
Watched her go public with her boyfriend.
Watched her kiss her boyfriend at their wedding.
Until that man blissfully nestled in Fan Xia’s arms, obtaining everything he could only dream of.
The crazy jealousy stripped away his hidden secret love, layer by layer, burning like wildfire.
Fan Xia, how can I have you!
