Even if it was tacky, I thought I could at least tolerate one face, but now that Jieunjae is dressed up like this, she’s quite pretty. Even a somewhat orphan-like figure.
Looking at Jieunjae, who seemed to have changed drastically overnight, compared to the one from yesterday, Kwon Seungcheol felt absurdly jealous.
“Long time no see.”
When Jieunjae took a step back without saying a word, Kwon Seungcheol narrowed the distance with a sneer.
“Don’t be scared. I’m just saying hello.”
“…”
“You’ve become so beautiful. Do you still meet that man? Yoon Sunwoo, Professor at Yeonrim Hospital?”
Well, if he’s going to lend such a large amount of money, it’s probably not an ordinary relationship, right? What kind of relationship exactly? Or, is it just a nighttime meeting?
With a sneering smile, Kwon Seungcheol continued to bombard Jieunjae with questions.
“Don’t come close. I’ll report you.”
“What did I do? What are you going to report? Just for looking?”
Kwon Seungcheol’s laughter echoed loudly. Jieunjae felt like she had returned to three months ago.
The surroundings were engulfed in darkness, and the stifling feeling as if one’s breath was about to be cut off rose to the throat. Hands shook involuntarily, and the body stiffened.
“Report it.”
When Eunjae felt threatened by Kwon Seungcheol’s suddenly reaching out, she took another step back, and warmth was felt behind her.
Without even turning around, Sunwoo’s hand blocked Eunjae’s path, and he firmly shook hands with Eunjae.
“I warned you, don’t ever appear in front of my woman again.”
And with the other hand, Sunwoo mercilessly twisted Kwon Seungcheol’s wrist. Watching Sunwoo grab Seungcheol’s wrist with his bare hands, Eunjae’s surprised eyes widened even more.
“Ah—let go of this!”
“If you break the promise already, it’s pointless for me to spend money. If you want to enjoy the fruits of my investment, keep your promise.”
Sunwoo easily subdued the much larger Seungcheol with one hand, releasing his wrist roughly and pushing him away, causing Seungcheol to struggle in pain.
Kwon Seungcheol wore a very unjust expression, clenching his aching wrist.
“This is a public road! What, can’t I even pass through here?”
“It should be a public road.”
“Seriously, is this all your land?”
“Not now, but it will be soon.”
It will be soon? Kwon Seungcheol looked up at the high-rise office building, which seemed to touch the sky.
Is all this going to be yours?
Kwon Seungcheol’s wide-open mouth did not close. So, this was so easy for you. It must have been a piece of cake for you. It was a moment when regret flooded in again.
“Do it legally! Pretend to be cool in front and send lawyers to the office behind my back, saying all sorts of nonsense. Did you?”
On the evening when the money was deposited, he called Jusung and Jaechan to the office. While eating Chinese food to celebrate, a legion of Sunwoo’s lawyers suddenly barged in.
The memory of sweating profusely as they pressed with all sorts of documents, forcing them into submission, came to mind.
“If you had brought the proper documents from the beginning, there would have been no need for this. Why make people troublesome?”
Well, there had never been such a person who argued and fought like you until now.
Usually, if it was oneself, or even if not, there were many cases where simply pressing with that degree of documents was enough.
The sight of oneself casually holding up that paper like a habit now seemed ridiculous. It felt funny only now.
Until the lawyers rushed in, I didn’t even know what had gone wrong.
As Sunseok’s brother said, leaving it as notarized, it was better, otherwise, if not, I might have been in prison by now.
“No one would believe such a boldly written promissory note. It could have led to charges of fraud. It’s just regrettable.”
Look at this guy. Did he give that knowing it all?
“This guy was completely crazy, huh?”
“If you want to see that crazy guy more, come anytime, I’ll show you even crazier things. It would be better for you to be prepared when you and I meet again.”
Let’s go. Yoon Sunwoo, who embraced Ji Eunjae’s shoulders from behind, protected Eunjae thoroughly, making sure they couldn’t make eye contact until the end.
“Are you just standing still because you don’t know what to do?”
It’s just that guys like me hate dealing with others, that’s all. Kwon Seungcheol’s face twisted on its own, as if his words were acknowledging the chilling gaze he was receiving.
“You haven’t forgotten what I said, right? If things get entangled, the one who will suffer is you.”
Even after leaving a heavily warned last word and turning away, Sunwoo’s figure disappeared, but Kwon Seungcheol couldn’t leave that spot, feeling an uneasy atmosphere lingering.
It feels like touching something you shouldn’t have. Like picking up something hot and being left with a dirty and stifling feeling.
Thinking that he should avoid lingering around this area unless necessary, Kwon Seungcheol, with a serious expression, turned away and
A moment ago, the anxious gaze that trembled disappeared, and in the large pupils, resentment toward Sunwoo was full.
“Wow, how can you lie so easily? I almost believed that this office building would soon be Mr. Sunwoo’s.”
“It’s not a lie. This office building belongs to Grandfather.”
“Goodness…”
As Eunjae, with a look as if his words were blocked, touched his forehead, Sunwoo, who had been silently watching him, quickly, without warning, kissed Eunjae’s lips, smiling as if asking him to look.
“If you smile so beautifully, will I forgive you completely?”
“When you try to run away at the slightest provocation and stubbornly insist, what else could I do?”
“…”
“I really didn’t know back then, and later, I found out that it’s a two-hour distance from here.”
Sorry. Apologizing once again, Eunjae gave up on getting angry at him. Instead, he took a deep breath and pressed the elevator’s descent button.
“Let’s go home.”
“Why, let’s have coffee.”
“It’s late. Let’s have it at home.”
Sunwoo quickly pressed the cancel button for descent and pressed the ascent button again.
“Stay here and sleep. The academy is nearby, isn’t it?”
“You’ll worry. Besides, I don’t have spare clothes to change into.”
“You should have them, right? If you leave a contact—”
“I’m tired. I want to go home and rest.”
Sunwoo felt an unspoken emotion, an unwillingness to burden Eunjae with his exhausting day. Looking at the tired Eunjae, he nodded silently and pressed the descent button again.
Bought lots of cakes and macarons on purpose.
Time flies when you’re eating, and you’ll probably say you’re sleepy, then you won’t want to go home. Sleeping in the office like that.
Thinking that today they could be alone
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.
