Returning home from Aran’s birthday party, Chaerin was in the dressing room.
Even as she put down her handbag and took off her jacket, the corners of her mouth didn’t stop lowering. Between her bright red lips, a humming nasal tune naturally escaped.
That’s when Inhyuk approached the dressing room. Standing at the entrance, he said to Chaerin, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Chaerin took off her fancy earrings and replied, “Tell you what?”
“That you’re pregnant. At least you should have told me beforehand.”
Putting the removed earrings in the storage, Chaerin faced Inhyuk.
“I told you there. I found out yesterday too. Since my period was late, I went to the hospital, and they told me I’m pregnant.”
“…….”
“And you’ve been busy. When did you expect me to tell you when you had no time to see my face?”
After speaking sternly, Chaerin looked at herself in the mirror again. This time, she took out a necklace adorned with pearl decorations.
Inhyuk silently observed her before finally speaking.
“……Are you sure?”
Chaerin’s eyebrows narrowed at his words. Her chilling gaze stared at Inhyuk.
“What do you mean?”
“…….Did you show me the ultrasound picture earlier? Do you doubt me?”
Chaerin raised her voice even louder.
“I’m sure I’m pregnant. If you can’t believe it, let’s go to the hospital together.”
Seeing Chaerin so excited, Inhyuk nodded his head slowly.
“…Alright. You must be tired, so rest.”
Inhyuk turned and headed to his room. Watching his retreating figure, Chaerin lifted her bag again. And from inside, she took out the ultrasound picture.
Chaerin stared at the photo intently. In her eyes fixed on the picture, determination and resentment filled her pupils.
Thud.
Yeongju slowly opened her eyes at the sound of the door opening.
Carefully looking around, she saw Jinyeok just entering the room.
“Awake?”
Jinyeok sat on the edge of the bed, neatly flipping his hair, wearing a wrinkle-free shirt and pants. Seeing his tidy appearance, Yeongju propped herself up.
“What time is it now?”
“Eight o’clock.”
“Already? I overslept without even hearing the alarm.”
“I turned it off so you could sleep more.”
Jinyeok said as he sat down on the bed.
“Lately, you’ve been sleeping a lot.”
“That’s true. Strangely, I feel sleepy all the time when I meet you.”
Yeongju yawned with a surprised expression. Watching her with a cute look, Jinyeok said,
“If you’re sleepy, sleep more. I can put you back to sleep.”
As Jinyeok’s hand subtly wrapped around her waist, Yeongju firmly grabbed that hand and said,
“When I see you, I feel like sleeping even more.”
It was natural that she couldn’t get enough sleep every night, as he didn’t leave her alone. However, Jinyeok, with a puzzled expression, said,
“I’ve been really restraining myself lately.”
“Try to restrain yourself even more.”
Jinyeok, with a serious expression, pondered if it would be hopeless to restrain himself more in this situation. Shaking him, Yeongju said, “Get up quickly. You have to go to work.”
“Weren’t you going to have breakfast with me?”
“Isn’t it too late now?”
“Not at all.”
It wasn’t late even though it was eight o’clock? Yeongju grinned, but Jinyeok lightly flicked her cheek with his finger and stood up.
“Wash your face and come out. I’ll be on the first floor.”
Jinyeok and Yeongju sat facing each other at the dining table. A breakfast prepared by the housekeeper was set on the table.
Even though it was later than usual for breakfast, they had a leisurely meal. Jinyeok mentioned that his morning schedule was slowly catching up, so there was no problem with going to work late.
While Yeongju was scooping up some soup, she suddenly narrowed her eyebrows. Strangely, her stomach felt queasy.
Seeing Yeongju’s expression, Jinyeok asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing. It just feels a bit stuffy inside.”
“Not feeling well?”
“I think it’s because I ate right after waking up. I’ll eat a little less.”
Yeongju sipped water to settle her queasy stomach. While having his meal, Jinyeok asked,
“What are you going to do today?”
“Well… I was planning to read a book and then go out for a lunch appointment.”
“What kind of appointment is it?”
“It’s a social gathering held once a month at the art center, and Mother and my brother are attending as well.”
Formally, it was a gathering intended for discussing culture and art, but in Yeongju’s eyes, it seemed more like a socializing event for conglomerate wives to build connections and exchange information.
Art was not the main focus; rather, it served as a source for gossip and unnecessary rumors.
Seeing Yeongju’s face stiffen a bit, Jinyeok said,
“If you don’t want to go, then don’t.”
“No, it’s only once a month. It’s fine.”
Yeongju continued calmly,
“I’ll quickly have a cup of tea, and it’ll be over. Everyone is busy.”
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.”
