Only then did Han Seung Yoon agree. The person who should actually agree drank water with an attitude as if he may or may not have heard.
Really annoying.
Eun Chae thought while pricking the rocket with her fork. A single meal can be such a long and drawnout journey.
After that, Han Seung Yoon continued his tearful efforts.
He would wipe off the things smudged around her lips as lovers would, recommend a champagne that she would likely enjoy. He ignored Ki Joo thoroughly to the extent that his initial request to not mind the presence of the bodyguard became meaningless.
Yes. She thought he was like that until Ki Joo left his seat.
“You can’t ignore the environment in which you grew up.”
Eun Chae, who had been casually staring at the retreating figure of Ki Joo, drew her gaze back at his words. Han Seung Yoon, who had been maintaining a harmonious atmosphere just a moment ago, had turned into an extremely unpleasant expression.
“Is it a lack of affection or what?”
“…..”
“Are you enjoying this situation?”
Ah, really.
Eun Chae looked at him without hiding her displeasure. Han Seung Yoon was making her speechless with his outofcontext words, just as he had done before by suddenly showing favoritism towards women.
“Hey. I don’t know why you suddenly changed, but can you explain it in a way I can understand?”
Han Seung Yoon repeated his question, gesturing towards the seat where Ki Joo had just been sitting.
“He’s just a bodyguard, right?”
“……What are you talking about?”
“Could it be that the bodyguard has taken a liking to Miss Song Eun Chae?”
At this, Eun Chae’s expression vanished from her face. Han Seung Yoon, perhaps judging that this suspicion had crossed a line, glanced fleetingly, taking in the situation.
“If not, then not.”
“……You have a rich imagination.”
With that one word, Eun Chae turned the situation around. But meanwhile, her fingertips that had lost their color were convulsing.
((())) ((())) ((()))
Ki Joo heard the ringtone of his cellphone when he had just finished taking a shower.
There was no reason for a call to come in at night when he wasn’t on duty. That thought crossed his mind. Even when he leisurely exited the bathroom while shaking his wet hair with a towel, the ringtone didn’t stop.
Ki Joo, with a towel over one shoulder, went to his desk where his cellphone was and cleared his throat. As soon as he saw the white letters on the black screen, his eyes hurt as if he had witnessed a flash.
Song Eun Chae.
While he dissected that name, the ringtone, perhaps due to his feeling, seemed to crescendo.
Before the ringtone could cease, Ki Joo picked up his cellphone and held it to his ear.
Hello, there was no need to say that.
Han Seung Yoon is suspicious of us.
The woman faintly trembled her voice.
What the hell was she scared of.
Is she scared of being hated by Han Seung Yoon? Or is it that she is afraid of hearing from Song Myung Hwan that she has become useless?
Questions spread like a spider web in his head. They would multiply uncontrollably if left alone. The rhythmic sound of the woman’s breathing silenced the questions in an instant.
“So.”
This time, I fobbed it off as ridiculous, but in the future, make sure I don’t have to make such excuses.
“Why? Just say it’s true.”
……Are you crazy?
Ki Joo leaned back in his chair.
“He can’t do anything even if he finds out about us. Han Seung Yoon.”
……You’re saying it’s okay to say that Mr. Kwon Ki Joo is my second?
“Yes.”
The woman’s breathing had changed. That subtle shift made her eardrums quiver.
Like a fool.
“I said I liked it that much. Honestly.”
“……”
“At least I held onto it because I liked it, didn’t I?”
Song Eun Chae remained silent. She was grateful not to have heard any curses. Ki Joo mocked as he spoke.
“Goodnight.”
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.
