Min Woo screamed in shock and frustration. It was one thing to have a problem, but another entirely for his mother to exacerbate it. However, Mrs. Na wasn’t one to be easily subdued. Her voice echoed back with equal force.
“Shut up! Do you know how ridiculous today was? I’m going to confront Representative Chae about this. What kind of parenting is this?”
Min Woo, realizing his mother might actually go to Representative Chae, desperately pleaded with her.
“Please don’t! If you do, I won’t be able to handle things properly here, and it might lead to an accident.”
[You’re trying to threaten your own mother now.]“It’s not a threat, it’s true. Things are different here in the Philippines.”
Finally, Mrs. Na calmed down and hung up, saying they would talk more when she returned. With the immediate crisis averted, Min Woo ground his teeth in frustration.
“I’ll deal with President Park later.”
The thought of someone causing trouble on his wedding day was unforgivable. He called his manager, Jin, but for some reason, he didn’t answer this time.
“Damn it.”
Min Woo paused, taking a moment to calm his nerves. Jin might be busy, he reasoned. He decided to try calling again once he reached his hotel and swiftly exited the airport.
“No, not like that!”
Yul Li and Hyun Kyung hastily released their embrace, startled.
“We do love each other, but not in that way.”
Both women spoke in unison, their voices synchronized perfectly. Je Ho frowned slightly, his displeasure evident. As he approached, Yul Li blushed and quickly hid behind Hyun Kyung.
Being alone with Hyun Kyung hadn’t been an issue, but the memories of kissing Je Ho and revealing herself in just a slip came flooding back. The embarrassment was overwhelming, and she couldn’t face him.
Hyun Kyung, confused, tried to turn around, but Yul Li quickly maneuvered her head back forward. Je Ho, now standing before them, looked at both women with an indifferent gaze.
“Looks like you two lovebirds will be fine together. Are you heading to Hyun Kyung’s place now?”
It seemed Je Ho misunderstood something. Yul Li was embarrassed but didn’t want to avoid him.
“Go where?”
Hyun Kyung, sensing the mood shifting strangely, raised her voice.
“I have a personal life, you know. My boyfriend is coming over tonight. A man, of course. Right, Yul Li?”
“Yes, exactly. Hyun Kyung’s boyfriend is a man.”
Yul Li, emerging from behind Hyun Kyung, agreed vehemently. At that, Je Ho smiled softly and walked past them into the kitchen. He noticed the tea and teapot on the island counter and turned back.
“Were you going to have tea?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t drink that. It’s too bitter. I’ll make you some coffee instead.”
“Yes, coffee sounds good.”
Hyun Kyung, who had just declared she wouldn’t have any coffee, loudly agreed to Je Ho’s offer. She then nudged Yul Li towards the kitchen with an elbow poke. Despite Yul Li’s resistance, Hyun Kyung pulled her along.
“Just a moment, I have an important call to make.”
After forcibly ushering Yul Li into the kitchen, Hyun Kyung mimed making a phone call and quickly disappeared into the garden. Luckily for Yul Li, Je Ho was occupied with his back turned, grinding coffee beans. Yet, her senses were irresistibly drawn to him, like iron to a magnet.
Suddenly, a message alert sounded from Je Ho’s phone. After checking the message, he chuckled, put the phone down, and started the espresso machine.
Leaning against the island counter, Yul Li’s face began to flush again, so she bowed her head. Her body felt warm, and her mind was a whirl of thoughts.
Lost in contemplation, she didn’t notice Je Ho approaching until she felt the citrus scent of his cologne. Then, suddenly, she was lifted and placed atop the counter by his large hands.
Je Ho, after setting Yul Li down, moved to the sink to wash his hands meticulously, not once taking his eyes off her. The sight of him washing his hands was unexpectedly charming.
Once his hands were clean, he positioned himself between Yul Li’s legs, which naturally wrapped around his waist.
“What did you do while I was away?”
Whispering into her ear, his warm breath tickled her, causing Yul Li to bury her face in his shoulder. Simultaneously, his lips grazed her neck.
“Stop it. Hyun Kyung will be back soon.”
Startled, Yul Li tried to pull away, but his strong hand held her waist firmly.
“No, Hyun Kyung isn’t coming back.”
Je Ho gently lifted her chin and kissed her lightly, revealing that the text message was from Hyun Kyung, who had to leave for an urgent matter.
Feeling the cool air on her legs as her skirt rode up, Yul Li was at a loss for words.
“Now,” he whispered, nipping her lip gently.
“How do you want me to proceed?”
As his enchanting words flowed, Yul Li found herself breathless.
“Tell me exactly what you want.”
Je Ho’s voice was soft as his hand ventured more boldly.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
