In the car heading to Gucheong, Eun Jae was restless, tightly gripping the innocent seatbelt, only staring out the car window. Perhaps it was because the weather was getting hot, her hand gripping the seatbelt was soaked in sweat.
She clearly felt the man’s gaze on her, but Eun Jae never looked back.
After realizing that last night’s memory wasn’t a dream, she couldn’t bring herself to look directly into the man’s eyes.
She already knew that her feelings had grown too big to hide, but she absolutely could not let him find out, she couldn’t say it. It was a clear breach of contract, and the damage it caused Eun Jae was enormous.
‘What on earth did you do to him, Ji Eun Jae.’
The more she tried to recall the broken events of last night, the more she sighed in quick succession.
She was drunk, and when she opened her eyes, he was there in her blurry sight, the man she had been longing for.
His deep, oceanlike eyes, which seemed to regard her lovingly, endlessly attracted her like a magnet. She couldn’t take her gaze off his lips, which were unusually bright red.
She wanted to devour him. She was greedy.
If only she could have him in her dreams. That was her only thought.
“Looks like the drunken cat has bitten, hasn’t it?”
The man knew everything. He found out everything.
Not knowing this, she asked him late at night what he ate, why his lips were like that. She wanted to stuff her few hours ago self, who had asked him cluelessly, back into a mouse hole.
What am I going to do now?
Faced with a problem with no apparent exit, Eun Jae let out a deep sigh as if she had given up.
“What’s wrong?”
Startled by Sun Woo’s sudden voice, Eun Jae replied as if she had been caught in her thoughts.
“Huh? What did I….”
“You’ve been sighing the whole time since we got in the car.”
“Ah… I see… I did that… Don’t worry. It’s nothing.”
“I understand that you’re troubled but—”
The man seemed to be asking if it was because of the marriage report.
“No, no. It’s not because of that.”
Eun Jae vehemently denied it, turning her head towards the car window. Resting her arm on the window, she looked blankly at the quickly passing landscape.
Why was he pretending not to know when he knew everything?
Usually, the man would have said this. Ms. Ji Eun Jae, why are you putting personal feelings into the contract? Are you going to take responsibility if something goes wrong?
‘I know, I know. I can’t take responsibility, I can’t.’
Yes, that was said by someone who can’t handle it.
He kept talking about the contract as if he was going to question it any moment. Surprisingly, the man remained quiet.
It was even more frustrating because she couldn’t remember everything from yesterday. The fragmented memories made Eun Jae even more restless.
As her thoughts grew complicated, her headache returned. Wanting to feel the breeze for a moment, she lowered the car window slightly.
When the cool wind had messed up Eun Jae’s hair, a conversation she had with the man in her dream suddenly came to mind.
“The contract has already been breached.”
“So, how much do I have to pay? Double, so 400 million?”
“600 million.”
She had been anxious about not being able to repay 200 million, how was she supposed to repay 600 million?
When did it become 600 million? Grumbling in a voice only she could hear, Eun Jae glanced at Sun Woo, who was sitting next to her and turning the steering wheel.
‘What exactly is your intention?’
How much more would he torment her because of this? How was she supposed to endure it?
No, that man probably thought I couldn’t remember anyway….
I don’t know, let’s just ignore it.
What’s he going to do about it if I don’t remember.
She hadn’t expected anything grand from the marriage report, but she didn’t know the process would be this simple.
She took out the receipt and the paper filled with their personal information, and not even five minutes later, they were handed back the receipt, stating the report was complete. They were told the document processing would be done within a week.
Even though it was a decision that would determine their lives, she wondered why it was so simple.
She felt a sense of anticlimax. She had resisted something so simple.
“Congratulations on becoming a couple.”
The municipal office employee smiled and handed a small gift to Eun Jae. Saying ‘thank you’, she took the gift.
When they got home, the man said he had to go to the hospital urgently as there was some work.
Leaving that message, Sun Woo went into the room for a moment and came out with a large suitcase. Eun Jae, who was watching him strangely, asked. Hadn’t he said he was going to the hospital?
“Are you going somewhere far?”
As if he was going on an expedition, while she was bewildered, an absurd statement came from the man’s mouth.
“I’ve packed in advance, I’ll come to pick you up in the evening.”
She naturally thought it wasn’t hers. But that suitcase was pushed in front of Eun Jae by Sun Woo’s hand. Eun Jae stopped the rolling suitcase and asked.
“What’s this? Where are you going?”
“Home.”
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.”
