“It’s not that I don’t like it. It’s just that you seem to be in a hurry.”
At Eun Jung’s words, Sun Woo let out a long sigh.
“I think I have to do it this way.”
Sun Woo, who sat heavily on the sofa, gently swept the sofa with his palm and chuckled softly.
“I’m afraid I might lose her.”
It felt as if she would run away from me at any moment.
As soon as Eun Jae entered the dining room, the inside of the dining room became noticeably busy. Side dishes were placed one by one on the dining table, and finally, a clay pot filled with warm soup was placed in front of Eun Jae. It was a bean sprout hangover soup with squid.
In the morning, buckwheat soup, in the afternoon, hwangtae soup, and in the evening, bean sprout hangover soup.
It seems like a hangover soup party today……
“Have you not had dinner?”
“Yes, I’ll eat well, aunt.”
When Eun Jae answered with a smile, Seong San’s wife quietly asked Eun Jae, as if whispering.
“Is there something going on with the professor?”
“Ah, you mean… Sun Woo?”
“He’s not a person who usually says such things, I was quite surprised. He called early in the morning while I was preparing breakfast. He said he wanted buckwheat soup.”
She said he asked to prepare everything, from soup to side dishes, with only good hangover remedies.
“It seems he drank quite a lot yesterday.”
If there was something in her mouth, she would have spit it out. Upon hearing Seong San’s wife’s continued words, Eun Jae’s face turned beet red.
The one who drank a lot was me……
“He requested this too. He specifically asked for Jeonjustyle bean sprout hangover soup. I’m worried if he’s still not feeling better. ”
I wonder what happened yesterday, he never drinks. Watching Seong San’s wife talk to herself, Eun Jae, who couldn’t respond to anything, just swallowed her dry saliva.
“You should start eating. He said he’s going to come down soon after tidying up his things.”
“Ah, I’ll wait and eat with Sun Woo when he comes down.”
“But you should eat it while it’s hot…… then I’ll serve it to you again later, please give it to me.”
“No, no, it’s okay, it’s okay! I’m fine.”
“Don’t be bothered by such things. This is always what we do, you should get used to it now.”
“I can’t eat hot food well, so I’ll let it cool down a bit before eating. Thank you for considering.”
At Eun Jae’s firm attitude, Seong San’s wife nodded and returned to her place. Looking at the side dishes filled to the brim on the dining table, Eun Jae recalled the events that happened in the car before she arrived here.
Touching the necklace around her neck, Eun Jae pulled the pendant and looked down at it. A man’s face was reflected in the diamonds that were sparkling in various colors under the light.
“You look pretty, Ji Eun Jae.”
Now it’s not a dream but certainly reality, but I still feel like I’m floundering in a dream.
There’s no need to take care of me this much, there’s no need to be this good to me.
The more it happens, the harder it is for me.
During a brief moment lost in thought, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps to the dining room. It was a sound she was used to hearing at home.
Eun Jae silently watched Sun Woo, who entered the dining room without a word, and took in every step he took. Not avoiding her gaze, Sun Woo, who took it all in, pulled out the chair across from Eun Jae and sat down, speaking.
“Why, you’re not eating first.”
The gaze that met hers was incredibly tender. That’s why I can’t get away from you.
“I thought you’d be down soon, so I waited.”
Eun Jae’s eyes, slowly blinking, were full of interest. His gaze gently moved to Eun Jae’s neck. Sun Woo, smiling as if satisfied, leaned his arms on the dining table.
“If it gets cold, it’s not tasty.”
Facing Sun Woo’s smiling face, Eun Jae responded with a slight smile.
In the past, it was uncomfortable to have a meal facing you, to the point where I couldn’t tell whether the food was going into my mouth or nose.
Somewhere along the line, I began to cherish these moments of eating together.
“It’s tasteless when eating alone.”
Is that why?
“Let’s eat together.”
Now, I don’t want to eat alone.
After finishing their meal and moving to the main building, Sun Woo and Eun Jae greeted and paid respects to their grandfather.
On the coffee table, there were three cups of aromatic herbal tea, emanating a whiff of steam, and a green grape tart. Seok Hee picked up her tea cup first and spoke to Eun Jae.
“Please have some.”
“Yes, I will enjoy it. Grandfather, please speak informally.”
When Seok Hee nodded, Eun Jae also smiled brightly and picked up her tea cup. Sun Woo, before even having his tea, put out the marriage registration receipt he was holding in his hand in front of Seok Hee.
“We registered our marriage today, Grandfather.”
At Sun Woo’s words, Seok Hee, as always, reacted indifferently and sipped his tea. Without showing any interest in the paper Sun Woo presented, without even looking at it, Seok Hee asked Eun Jae.
“Now that we’re a real family, consider this as your home and make yourself comfortable.”
“Thank you, Grandfather.”
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.
