The Price of Impulse (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
After Director Song and Manager Shin left, Se Kyung stood by the window, lost in deep thought. Song’s words kept echoing in her mind.
‘Well… actually, earlier today, the CEO caught a suspicious person right in front of the company. Turns out that person was a reporter. Managing Director Kang checked the CCTV and confirmed the guy had been loitering outside the building for several days before bringing him in. From what I heard, it seems he’d been tailing the CEO for days.’
Director Song said that man was the one who first published the exclusive article. She didn’t know exact details about what happened afterward, but guessed Managing Director Kang and CEO Jin probably questioned him about who tipped him off.
“If they’ve got someone following Tae Jo, then they must’ve had someone on me too. Does that mean they followed me to the hospital?”
Se Kyung tilted her head, puzzled. Ever since that photo had been taken at the restaurant, she’d been extra cautious whenever driving out.
Especially when heading to the hospital—she’d deliberately taken winding detours and frequently checked her rearview mirror for any cars tailing her before entering the building.
Besides, even if someone somehow found out she’d visited an obstetrics and gynecology clinic, could they really deduce her pregnancy from that alone?
“An anonymous insider…”
Se Kyung reread the article and fixed her gaze on the phrase “anonymous insider,” the very source who’d supposedly revealed her pregnancy news.
Who on earth would leak something like this to a reporter?
Only a very small number of people knew about her pregnancy. None among them would intentionally put her in such an awkward position.
Could the reporter have simply guessed based on observing her movements? Yet the article wasn’t entirely wrong, either…
“I really don’t know.”
The more she pondered, the more tangled her thoughts became.
Se Kyung pressed a hand to her throbbing forehead. More than herself, she worried about Tae Jo. He’d mentioned his mother seemed to have read the article and that he’d visited the family home today.

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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
