The Young Boss (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
The next morning, Si Hyeon’s mind was like a tangled ball of yarn.
Clearly, by now, her head should feel like it was about to explode because of Woo Jin’s affair. But what actually bothered her more than that was what Tae Ha had said last night.
From the moment she opened her eyes in the morning, the words she heard yesterday came to mind.
[…Even after several years, you were still just as pretty, to me.]
While saying that, Tae Ha’s gaze had been fixed on Si Hyeon the whole time.
[You were pretty even when wearing a school uniform, and pretty even with an employee ID hanging around your neck.]
[……]
[Even when coming home late at night reeking of alcohol, you were so pretty it killed me.]
She would have thought it was a confession. If only the person who said those words wasn’t the child she had practically raised with her own hands since he was nine years old!
‘What on earth did he mean by that?’
Si Hyeon bit her lip and pondered.
Until now, she had never even dreamed that Tae Ha saw her as a woman.
There was a time when he acted strangely for a bit, asking if she liked him when he first came to the company, but she thought that was only because he had lost his memories.
[Then look properly. Whether I’m a man or not.]
Even when he said that and showed her his body, she thought it was simply because he was sulking about being treated like a child. It was like a tantrum saying, I’ve grown this much.

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.
