“It’s better to be certain. You’re smart.”
“What?”
I didn’t do it to receive compliments!
Somehow, his smiling face twisted her insides.
“What? Seriously!”
She couldn’t even understand why she was getting so worked up. In fact, accepting the proposal itself wasn’t a reasonable thing, so her current actions were naturally lacking in persuasiveness.
Arin felt like she was sinking deeper into a pit.
“I’ll accept everything.”
“Did you read, read it before saying that?”
Rather than being surprised by his fresh reaction, it was actually her who felt perplexed.
Last time, she added conditions that were somewhat within common sense, but not this time. On purpose, she included quite challenging parts for him.
“You don’t have to read it.”
“I have to read it. I know what I want.”
“I said I would give you whatever you want. I have no intention of lying. Especially if it can be solved with money, it’s a simple matter for me.”
Arin stared blankly at Jaehyuk.
How long would it take for her to get used to this behavior?
“Do you need anything else? Is this all? I thought I filled it with the necessary appliances and items, but you haven’t bought a TV. What’s an 85-inch 4K? Is it a name?”
It hadn’t been long since they talked about their contractual relationship, but already? She almost said those words.
“Say anything.”
He played his card.
As Arin stared at Jaehyuk, the thought she had kept to herself slipped out.
“It must be nice to have a lot of money.”
“…”
However, it was strange. The more she counted on Jaehyuk, the worse she felt.
The more she spat out words to him, the more her mood sank.
Arin lowered her head deeply.
“Arin.”
Jaehyuk, who had put the documents on the table, called her name.
“Don’t mind me.”
When their eyes met, her heart shook intensely.
Startled, Arin raised her head. He was looking at her without a single unpleasant expression.
“Whatever you say, even if it’s harsh, it’s because I’m lacking. So, don’t feel guilty for every word you say.”
“Even if I say bad things?”
“Even if you say anything mean, it won’t sound like that at all. That’s why I said last time, ‘Do whatever you want,’ sincerely. If you want to do something, do it. If you have a wish, you can wish. You have the right to do that. And…”
It seemed like Jaehyuk hesitated in Arin’s eyes.
“Can I ask for a few things from you? It’s not coercion. So, if you don’t like it, you can refuse.”
“…Sure.”
With such a look, she couldn’t refuse. Nodding, she gave a faint smile.
“It’s funny to say this, but I hope you haven’t met any other men during the contract period.”
“What?”
What did you just say?”
“Even if it’s a contract, whatever you and I…”
“Other men?”
“Yeah. Other men.”
Jaehyuk scratched his neck awkwardly, avoiding eye contact and continued to speak.
“Will I meet other men?”
“I don’t have any special meaning. I just said it would be hard for others to see us starting a relationship again, so I hope you don’t meet other men.”
“…….”
Jaehyuk’s words shocked Arin.
Is it possible that Jaehyuk, who seemed fearless, self-reliant, and ready to conquer the world, is saying something reasonable? The man who, with a natural poker face, never wavered in any situation, always quickly grasped the situation, and spoke calmly?
Of course, Jaehyuk could tell her not to meet other men. He would suffer the fatal blow if a scandal broke out.
‘Ah,’ the shock came from his tone of voice.
[As long as we have a contract, don’t think about meeting other men.] [Behave well so that there are no rumors.]The Jaehyuk of the past would have said such things without hesitation. If he had, she would have thought, ‘Yes, this is the typical Jaehyuk.’
Arin thought that while glimpsing the tension and anxious emotions she felt from Jaehyuk’s face. Although he said it was a request, she knew it was more of an earnest plea than a request.
He was a leader leading the South Korean economy. He, who was leading the nation’s economy, was now waiting for her answer, looking desperate and helpless, which was strange.
‘In the first place, I never thought of meeting other men. If I had even a bit of such intentions, I would have immediately rejected oppa’s proposal.’
Her heart fluttered. Somehow, the sight of him struggling, the shadow on his face, did not sit well with her. It was an unpredictable whim.
“Why? Are you worried that it might cause a scandal? Don’t worry. I don’t think so lightly, either.”
“… I know.”
Arin looked at Jaehyuk.
“Hah, I understand.”
As if he had been waiting, his face brightened as if he were telling a lie.
“Thank you for accepting my request.”
The heart sank at Jaehyuk’s bright smiling face.
Thump, thump. The sound of the heartbeat disturbed her ears. Her face became unnaturally hot.
‘And I have to be honest. I should be careful. The one who needs to be cautious is not me, but oppa.’
She came across the news of his remarriage.
It was not long ago that she was shocked by the news of his engagement to Min Yujin of LW Group.
‘But why is he telling only me not to meet anyone?’
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.”
