Yul Li blinked her half-closed eyes in a daze, realizing she had slept for several hours. The surroundings were dim, and Je Ho was nowhere to be seen, with only Hyun Kyung waiting for her in the living room.
“You’re finally awake. Are you okay?”
Yul Li nodded silently to Hyun Kyung’s concerned expression. Noting Yul Li wearing Je Ho’s shirt, Hyun Kyung didn’t comment but hurriedly opened a suitcase.
“You need to change.”
The suitcase, intended for a honeymoon, was filled mostly with beachwear. Yul Li chose a long-sleeved sweater and a knee-length flared skirt. After changing, she returned to find Hyun Kyung rummaging through cabinets.
“I’m making tea. Do you want some? I’ve had enough coffee for today.”
As Hyun Kyung located the teapot and was about to fetch the tea, Yul Li gently reminded her.
“Sorry, Hyun Kyung, but this isn’t Je Ho’s house. It’s a client’s. Please be careful.”
Hyun Kyung’s expression subtly changed, but she quickly closed the cabinet with a smile.
“Got it.”
Hyun Kyung handed Yul Li her phone, which had several missed calls from Mrs. Ahn and Yuri. It seemed necessary to contact them.
“Yul Li, are you alright?” Mrs. Ahn’s trembling voice came through the phone, reflecting her alarm about today’s events.
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“You’re with Hyun Kyung, right?”
“Yes, Mother. I’m with her.”
Hyun Kyung’s loud reassurance calmed Mrs. Ahn’s trembling voice.
“Stay with Hyun Kyung for a while. Father said the same. He’s handling this situation, so don’t worry.”
“Father?”
“Yes, he said to tell you that once we’re in contact. He’ll take care of everything.”
Yul Li was surprised by Representative Chae’s different-than-expected reaction.
“What does he mean by ‘he’ll handle it’?”
“I’m not sure. He just said you’d understand.”
“Where is Father now?”
“He should be at the party office.”
Yul Li called Representative Chae, not expecting him to answer, but to her surprise, he picked up.
“Yes, it’s me.”
“Father, I just talked to my stepmother. You said you’re handling it. What does that mean?”
There was a moment of heavy silence before Representative Chae finally responded.
“Exactly what it means.”
Yul Li anxiously bit her lip, waiting for more explanation. Representative Chae’s voice then flowed through the phone.
[Director Kwon will be back in about a week, so think carefully until then. Whether to proceed with the wedding or cancel it altogether.]
Yul Li couldn’t easily believe the words that came out of Representative Chae’s mouth. It was hard to trust him, known for prioritizing his interests even at the cost of tarnishing his late wife’s honor.
“Then, that thing you mentioned earlier…”
[We don’t need to use that anymore. A better card has come into play.]“A better card?”
As more perplexing words flowed out, Yul Li’s grip on the phone tightened.
[Someone who doesn’t want you to marry Director Kwon has sacrificed themselves to hand over this valuable card to me.]“Who is that?”
[You’ll have to find that out yourself. I have to go into a meeting now, so let’s end the call here.]After hanging up, Yul Li fell deep into thought. Who could it be? Je Ho? Or…
Her gaze shifted to Hyun Kyung, who was blinking at her.
“Hyun Kyung? Did you, by any chance, investigate Min Woo to stop our marriage?”
Hyun Kyung’s eyes widened in shock.
“Huh? How did you know I was digging up dirt on Min Woo?”
“Hyun Kyung!”
Yul Li embraced her friend, moved to tears by her deep friendship.
“Thank you, Hyun Kyung. I love you. I really do love you.”
“Why are you crying? Yeah. I love you too, crazily.”
Initially startled, Hyun Kyung soon joined in the tearful embrace. The two friends held each other, shedding tears of emotion.
Clap, clap, clap―.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of clapping. They turned toward the noise and saw Je Ho leaning against the wall, watching them.
“Ah, I didn’t know.”
With a chillingly beautiful smile, he said,
“So, you two have that kind of taste?”
“Please, just pick up, please.”
Right after arriving in the Philippines, Min Woo’s first task was to call Yul Li. He hadn’t had the chance at Incheon Airport in the rush to catch the flight.
“Damn, she’s not answering.”
Despite several attempts, Yul Li never picked up. Jin, the manager, must have made up a suitable excuse, so there shouldn’t be any major issue, but anxiety still nagged him. He then called Mrs. Na.
“Mom, how did the wedding go?”
[How would it go? Everyone just left, thinking ‘oh well.’ You had to rush to a construction site in the Philippines on your wedding day, who could complain?]Mrs. Na, who had never been keen on the wedding, responded indifferently.
“Right, as it should be.”
But the relief was short-lived. Mrs. Na complained and then dropped a bombshell.
[Yul Li, that girl, really can’t handle it. She stormed out of the wedding hall in her wedding dress when she heard you weren’t coming. Who does she think she is, throwing a tantrum and walking out? We might as well call off this wedding for good.]“Mom, are you crazy?”
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.”
