Pfft.
Revealing her well-aligned teeth, Doum smiled.
“If it makes you cry, cry; if it makes you laugh, laugh. Didn’t we promise that? To be faithful in our own places?”
After wiping Jiwan’s forehead, Help withdrew her hand and made eye contact.
“So, from now on, don’t run here like this. Even if it makes you cry, I’ll endure it well.”
Boldly, the woman who finished her words took the lead.
Watching the woman who waited anxiously and the man who stood, Jiwan found it amusing to see the woman who was writing in small letters, seemingly concerned about Wooseok’s arm.
It was funny to think that this petite woman had come running like this, not even imagining that she would be so brave.
Feeling like a cute puppy, Jiwan turned away from Wooseok and got into the car with Jiwan.
Knock, knock.
At the sound of knocking on the study door, Jiwan took his eyes off the documents.
It was past 11 o’clock.
Unable to finish the work unintentionally, he had been in the study for several hours.
“It’s omija tea. The gardener gave me a lot of omija berries he picked this year, so I tried making it as a clear drink.”
Rather than the crimson color and fragrant sweetness, what caught Jiwan’s attention was the couple cup brought together.
“How is it? Does it still look old-fashioned?”
“It’s different.”
Thinking that it would be disappointing to think that the woman who just put it in her mouth was disappointed, he held back the remaining words.
“How does it taste?”
She had just taken a sip, but the woman who urgently asked for a reaction seemed to want him to taste it as if she were hopping around, so he answered quickly.
“It’s sweet.”
It was sweet.
Whether it was because of his mood or because it was really sweet, every food with the woman tasted like that.
Almost dizzying.
“Come to think of it, President-nim habitually wrinkles his forehead. I almost thought it was annoying when I saw it only on myself.”
The woman who kept observing with fascination as if she were observing insects or animals seemed to find it interesting.
At first, it was scary, so she couldn’t even meet her eyes, but it seemed better than that.
Jing, jing.
The vibrating sound of the phone on the study coffee table.
Help, who was standing in front of the desk, quickly turned to reach for the phone.
Reading the name on the screen faster than the extended hand, it was her eyes.
Congratulations on your marriage. I sent a gift to your newlywed home, so you should know that you’re probably with your wife at this time. It was not pleasant to receive a call from the woman late at night.
Fortunately, the man probably didn’t see her face, where the smiling face settled down coldly.
When asked who Seol was, a male colleague who used to criticize her for not interfering with personal affairs answered, so she smiled brightly and turned away.
When Chairman Jang Anseodong said to me, “Just shake the man’s heart and leave,” my chest felt heavier than ever before, even though there was nothing unfair.
Unjustified grievances for no reason.
“…….”
Without a response, the man urgently walked out of the entrance, and his figure wavered like a willow.
If the second scariest thing was the fierce heart, even in front of the pitiful Chairman Jang, the heart that had remained calm seemed to burst.
The determination not to wait was absolute.
One floor of a VIP ward in a major hospital in Korea was designated for the doctor and nurses, and all other entry and exit was restricted.
“Is she still here?”
Hurriedly entering across the corridor, Jeonghyeok, Yijun’s manager, approached Jiwan.
Sometimes it seemed silent, but if interest faded, like a year-round event, this was how it went.
“For the past few days, she seemed down again today…”
Beside the grim-faced Jiwan, Jiwan’s attending physician and VIP ward manager, Dr. Choi, approached.
“I did stomach washing, but she fell asleep because of the remaining drug power. She hasn’t been able to sleep for a few days, so I increased the dose by one or two. She’ll wake up in a few hours. How are you going to face her after seeing her wake up?”
“Just watch her wake up, I’ll leave.”
After Dr. Choi left and while Jeonghyeok went into the company to check the situation of the office.
Yiseol opened her eyes.
“……Oppa?”
Jiwan, who had been looking down at the dark city, turned around.
His casually clenched fist and tightly sealed lips, without a word, revealed his pent-up feelings.
“Uh, that… It’s not what Oppa thinks…”
Explaining herself, Yiseol’s dry lips burst open, and a reddish vigor appeared.
“It’s not what you think, Oppa. I really couldn’t sleep, and it’s not intentional…”
Even when wiping her moist lips with a tissue taken without much thought, her eyes, which were insensitive compared to the tender act, remained cold.
“Not every time to you, but every time I get fooled by you, I keep coming. You know that, right? No?”
“I’m really not. I don’t want to go up and down in front of people anymore. I really tried in my own way because I don’t want to do that anymore!”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
