“I’m not sure if I’ll be warmly accepted at the president’s house.”
It was a wellknown fact that Tae Jo’s family was one of the top conglomerates in the country. Wouldn’t there be someone who was promised to marry from a long time ago in such a family?
Ah, maybe when Tae Jo’s parents find out about my pregnancy, they will come to erase it……
Trrrrrrrrr.
“Ah! That surprised me.”
Se Kyung jumped at the sudden ringing of the bell. She picked up her cell phone, calming her racing heart.
Really, how does he know I’m thinking about him? Did he really plant someone around me?
Se Kyung looked around aimlessly and pressed the call button.
“Yes. President.”
What are you doing?
“Just staying.”
Se Kyung leaned back on the sofa, patting her fluttering chest.
You moved today.
“Yes. How did you know that?”
When I didn’t see the new manager, I asked the staff and they said he went to help with the moving today.
“Oh.”
But, why did he suddenly look for the new manager?
Manager? Are you still there?
“No, he left a little while ago.”
How’s the new place?
“Well, it’s spacious, empty, a bit lonely. That’s how it is.”
Lonely?
“A little. Maybe because it’s the first day of moving in. Until a little while ago, Yuna and Jehun were with me.”
I see. You’ve been living in a hotel for a month. So, what about dinner?
“Dinner? Oh, I haven’t eaten yet…”
That’s good. I haven’t eaten yet either.
“Excuse me?”
Why was it a good thing for the Director that I hadn’t had dinner yet?
Before Se Kyung could ask, she heard Tae Jo’s voice from the other side.
Se Kyung, why don’t you have dinner with me? Where’s your new place?
“I feel like I’ve been rushed somehow…”
Se Kyung anxiously lingered in front of the entrance. She had just received word that Tae Jo had just passed by the main entrance.
She’d answered his questions hurriedly and before she knew it, she ended up having dinner with him.
“I haven’t even finished cleaning up yet.”
Se Kyung looked around her house with a bewildered face. Because it was the first day of moving in, no matter how much she tried to tidy up, there was a sense of disarray.
Boxes that hadn’t even been opened were stacked in corners, and as the manager said, the house, which had little furniture, looked empty.
“I should have suggested we eat out.”
It was Tae Jo who had declined Se Kyung’s suggestion to eat out. He said he would bring food himself, thinking that she must be tired from moving.
Ding Dong!
“Yes, yes!”
As soon as the doorbell rang, Se Kyung rushed to the door. As she unlocked the door and opened it, there stood Tae Jo, dressed in a grey knit and slacks.
“Did you wait for me? You opened the door quickly.”
“You said you passed the main entrance. Come in, please.”
Se Kyung, who had given Tae Jo slippers, glanced at his outfit.
She had only seen him in suits since the first time they met. Seeing him in casual clothes felt somehow different.
“Were you at home before you came here?”
“Yeah. But did you know? Your house is close to mine.”
“Yes.”
“But why didn’t you say anything then?”
“The day I went to your house?”
At Se Kyung’s question, Tae Jo nodded his head. As he walked towards the kitchen, she followed him.
“I didn’t know that night. It was dark around, and I didn’t know the geography of the area well. I found out in the morning when you took me to the hotel.”
“Is that so? Well, it’s fortunate our houses are close. If there’s an urgent matter, I can come quickly. Oh, by the way, I brought Galbitang. Is that okay?”
“Yes. Please have a seat. I will prepare.”
“No need, just bring the bowls.”
Se Kyung took out large bowls from the cupboard.
While he poured the thick rib soup, Se Kyung filled the bowls with mixed vegetables and rice.
“Should we eat here? Or in the living room?”
“If it’s alright with you, let’s eat here. It’s a task to move all these things.”
Se Kyung pulled up a stool to sit and Tae Jo took a seat across from her.
“Bon appétit.”
Holding her spoon, Se Kyung tasted the soup.

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
