Arin hooked her arm with Jaehyuk’s and entered the lobby of the most famous hotel in the United States, where the hotel chairman was located. Arin’s eyes widened at the splendid interior decorations that seemed to evoke medieval Europe.
‘I’ve only seen these people on TV or in articles.’
The most prominent corporate executives, seen only in the media or articles, were gathered in one place.
‘Oppa was invited to such an event. He’s really amazing.’
Arin looked up at Jaehyuk with eyes full of admiration, realizing anew the status of Jaehyuk, who had been invited to such an event.
‘This person, inviting me…’
Arin inexplicably felt her heart swell.
Jaehyuk leaned toward Arin, who was absentmindedly staring at him.
“Why?”
“Huh?”
Startled, Arin grabbed her own ear and moved away from Jaehyuk. However, Arin was soon caught by Jaehyuk and couldn’t run away.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“You were staring at me so intently, like you were seeing through me.”
“Well, that’s true, but…”
Arin hesitated and turned her head slightly.
“Look at me. I said I liked looking at you.”
In response to Jaehyuk’s words, Arin turned her head again to look at him.
He was smiling brightly.
‘Was Oppa always such a good smiler?’
Arin, looking at Jaehyuk’s smile, felt a tingling sensation in her heart and a fluttering in her chest.
Then it happened.
“Oh, Mr. Ban.”
A voice as if calling Jaehyuk from right next to him was heard.
Jaehyuk and Arin simultaneously turned their heads.
As if waiting, a foreign man gestured towards Jaehyuk.
“Thank you for coming.”
The foreign man spoke awkward Korean and extended his hand for a handshake.
“Thank you for the invitation.”
Jaehyuk, who didn’t notice Arin’s confusion, warmly responded to the man and shook hands.
‘It can’t be…’
While Jaehyuk and the foreign man exchanged greetings, Arin, meeting the eyes of the woman standing next to the man, was filled with confusion.
‘How can this be…’
The face smiling at her was a familiar face.
Her bewildered eyes, without a destination, trembled roughly.
Jaehyuk, done with the greetings with the foreign man, wrapped his arm around Arin’s shoulder.
“Let me introduce you. This is my wife, Arin.”
She wasn’t his wife yet, but Jaehyuk introduced her as such, considering that he intended to marry Arin soon.
In fact, Jaehyuk had never once thought of replacing the position of his wife with another woman.
“Oh, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Arin, trying to regain her composure, greeted the foreign man. Bowing her head, she found the situation too bewildering.
‘How can she be here? Is she the person I saw in Korea? Then, is that business card from back then real?’
I don’t disbelieve, but Arin, until then, hadn’t deeply thought about the name written on the business card Euna handed over, even though she wasn’t doubting.
She simply thought of herself as someone working for the impressive L&M company.
“L&M Liam Lewis’s wife……”
Arin hesitated, surprised. Euna approached Arin, almost two steps away.
“Have you been well?”
“……Ah, yes.”
“Nice to see you again, Miss Arin. Thank you for coming.”
“Thank you for the invitation.”
“I missed you.”
Arin’s heart fluttered at the warmth of Euna’s hand holding hers.
“……. ”
Jaehyuk’s pupils, watching Arin and Euna, narrowed.
Jaehyuk and Liam left to greet others, leaving Arin and Euna alone.
“Were you very surprised?”
Euna, handing Arin the grapefruit juice ordered from the waiter, asked.
Arin felt strange in Euna’s voice, full of concern.
“……A little.”
Euna smiled slightly at Arin’s response.
“I kind of expected you to notice after giving you my business card. I apologize for surprising you. Actually, I thought you would figure it out to some extent after the business card.”
“Ah… Yes. But being a wife… I didn’t expect that.”
Arin raised her head at Euna’s response.
“My explanation was too brief. I’m sorry.”
Arin shook her hand vigorously.
“No need to apologize. I was just a bit surprised, and as Mrs. Rachel, it’s natural for you to act that way.”
Euna showed a faint emotion in response to Arin’s answer.
“Thank you for understanding. Am I still Arin’s friend?”
Arin turned her head and met Euna’s eyes.
‘You’re a much more impressive person than I thought, and you’ve saved me several times. Besides, being with you somehow makes me feel at ease. If it’s not uncomfortable for this person, can’t I occasionally meet her?’
Arin thought, looking into the deep brown eyes.
“Yes, it’s an honor to be friends with Mrs. Rachel.”
“It may be difficult to feel comfortable, but still, please treat me casually. In front of Arin, I’m not L&M’s Rachel Lewis.”
“……Yes.”
Arin nodded slightly and took a sip of the grapefruit juice Euna handed her.
Euna’s gaze at Arin was strangely warm.
Then, silence followed.
“You look good.”
Euna was the one to break the silence.
“……Yes.”
Euna’s gaze touched Arin’s cheek, tinted with a peach-like pink.
‘Looks happy.’
Fortunate.
Tears welled up in Euna’s eyes.
‘My child.’
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.”
