Wife Swap - Chapter 6

Upon seeing the bag fallen on the floor, In Ha opened her already large eyes even wider.

“What? Why do you have that?”

Young Hwa picked up the bag that had fallen to the floor. Dust clung to the leather surface.

“Why is this?”

Tap tap!

She dusted off the bag loud enough to make a sound. It didn’t really need dusting, but the fact that it had fallen from In Ha’s hands made Young Hwa feel it was dirtier than anything.

“You… speak plainly. Who gave you that?”

The words “Sun Woo gave it” rose up to her throat.

But she instinctively felt that if she said that, it would be difficult to have a peaceful night today.

“Why? Was it a bag you wanted?”

“Damn it, stop talking nonsense and tell me straight!”

“A man I know gave it to me.”

“Are you crazy? Who is it?”

She didn’t want to lie. But since she couldn’t say it was Sun Woo, Young Hwa could only respond with a smile.

“Why should I tell you that?”

“Tell me, right now!”

Presumably guessing it was Sun Woo, that’s why she’s so agitated.

“A handsome man. Tall, with a good-looking face…”

Slap-.

Before she could finish speaking, Jae Hee’s hand struck Young Hwa’s cheek hard.

The precariously tied rubber band snapped. At the same time, her long hair tied up in a ponytail scattered.

“What are you doing!”

Young Hwa clutched her cheek and glared at Jae Hee.

“How dare you raise your voice!”

In Ha’s voice was probably louder than Young Hwa’s. But Jae Hee’s anger was directed only at Young Hwa.

Young Hwa just bit her lip. Whatever she said in response, the arrows would only fly at her.

Thwack-.

And the bag in Young Hwa’s hand was transferred to Jae Hee.

“Tell me. Who did you receive this from?”

Was that bag such an expensive item that even Jae Hee would get involved?

“I received it as a gift. Why?”

“Can’t you understand what I’m saying? I didn’t ask why you received it, but who you received it from. Can’t you even understand that much?”

Young Hwa let out a rough breath.

She racked her brain. Yet she couldn’t think of anyone around her capable of buying such an expensive bag.

“I’m seeing a man.”

Jae Hee let out a loud snort.

“What kind of man?”

“Why are you asking? It’s obvious.”

Young Hwa clenched her molars tightly. The soft flesh was painfully bitten.

“You crazy bitch. Are you openly selling your body now?”

Thwack!

Jae Hee violently struck Young Hwa’s head with the bag.

“You’re determined to smear mud on the Chancellor’s face, aren’t you!”

More than her throbbing head, Young Hwa’s insides burned even hotter at the mention of Kang Seok.

“Yes, that’s what I want.”

“Look, look, look at how she talks.”

Jae Hee grabbed In Ha’s hand and staggered.

“Enough, Mother. Why bother talking more?”

Tears welled up slightly.

“This bag is confiscated.”

“What did you say?”

“A bag obtained so filthily. If you carry this around, won’t you just do it again? How dare you.”

She had no intention of carrying it around anyway. Still, Jae Hee’s act of taking away the bag for such an absurd reason was exasperating.

“Do as you please.”

Murderer.

Even those defending that murderer looked like nothing but murderers in Young Hwa’s eyes.

The stinging cheek and head didn’t matter at all.

Rather, it was the torn heart that hurt more.

She swallowed. Tasting blood, her mouth filled with a fishy smell.

***

In Ha, who had sat back down in the living room, snatched the bag from Jae Hee’s hands.

“Crazy bitch. Her eyes have only gotten higher.”

Despite the harsh words, In Ha’s expression was all smiles.

But Jae Hee’s face was still dark.

“Surely not. It can’t be.”

She muttered as if to herself and shook her head.

“Hm? What is it, Mother?”

“No, that bag. Sun Woo didn’t give it to her, did he?”

“Are you crazy! Why would he give something like this to someone like her? It doesn’t suit her at all.”

“Right?”

“Didn’t you see today? How he paid for our bags all at once? Though he doesn’t say it, Sun Woo is interested in me. That’s why he suggested we get engaged again, right?”

Jae Hee nodded.

“Right. That must be it. I was just imagining things.”

“More importantly, Mother. How do I look? Does it suit me?”

In Ha slung the chain over one shoulder and stood in front of Jae Hee.

“It suits you. If a bag like that doesn’t suit our In Ha, who would it suit!”

Jae Hee looked at In Ha contentedly and smiled proudly.

***

After finishing the morning meeting, Sun Woo headed to his office.

Seeing him, the secretary stood up from her seat and bowed her head slightly.

“Director. You have a visitor.”

“Who?”

“She said her name was Ji In Ha.”

“Ah.”

Sun Woo let out a short exclamation that sounded like a sigh.

“Is she inside?”

“Yes.”

“I thought I told you not to let people into my office without permission.”

“Well, that’s… I know, but.”

Sun Woo could guess the situation all too well.

He had witnessed the entire conversation between the two of them at the luxury store that day.

It was a store Sun Woo managed.

Sun Woo oversaw The K Group’s trading company. The biggest business division of the trading company was The K Department Store.

Among them, that store was ranked first in nationwide sales and customer reviews, the most outstanding store.

Causing a scene in such a place. Sun Woo pretended not to hear their conversation, thinking of putting them on a blacklist.

Of course, until then, he hadn’t guessed that they were In Ha and Jae Hee.

‘They’re something else.’

After confirming it was them, Sun Woo could watch even more interestedly.

‘I thought they might feel a little sorry, but that’s completely gone.’

That’s what he thought.

So he could more than guess why the secretary had let her into the office now.

“Alright. Go back to work. I’ll handle it.”

“Understood.”

The secretary didn’t complain. She didn’t talk much, and she understood things quickly.

That’s why she could stay by the side of the fastidious Sun Woo for so long.

But now, looking at the situation, he thought that perhaps the woman named In Ha inside might be a level above the secretary.

As Sun Woo entered the office, he raised his hand to knock.

Why bother?

It’s my office.

Sun Woo flung the door open and strode into the office.

In Ha, who had been applying makeup, stood up from her seat with a startled look.

In that moment, the mirror in her hand disappeared into her bag.

“You’re here?”

“Is the meeting over?”

It must be over if I’m here, right?

“You should have called ahead.”

In Ha gave a shy, beaming smile.

“I had some field work nearby.”

“Nearby where?”

“Ah. Well.”

In Ha’s eyes rolled quickly.

“At The K Department Store. I went to see the store’s reaction to a new product launch.”

“Is that so?”

Sun Woo’s gaze fell on the bag In Ha was carrying.

Oh ho. These people.

“You haven’t eaten, right? Let’s go out.”

“Okay.”

“My car is in the underground parking lot. Wait for me in the first floor lobby. I’ll come out front.”

“We could move together, it’s fine.”

“No. There’s no need to move together unnecessarily. Do as I say.”

He just had nothing to say if they moved together.

Sun Woo, who had moved to the underground parking lot, picked up the bag placed on the passenger seat.

“What should I do with this?”

Sun Woo let out a big sigh and put the shopping bag back down on the passenger seat.

After giving one to Young Hwa, he had ordered another of the same design. Thinking In Ha and Jae Hee had seen it, he bought it worrying that Young Hwa might get in trouble if they became suspicious.

But, it’s already been handed over.

It’s more unpleasant than I thought.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Woo nodded slightly and smiled faintly.

***

In Ha headed to the hotel restaurant Sun Woo guided her to.

“This is usually a restaurant I use after meetings or external schedules.”

“It’s nice and clean.”

In Ha scanned the interior of the restaurant and replied. It was adequately luxurious and adequately atmospheric.

She thought this level was acceptable.

“This place specializes in Korean cuisine. I’m not sure if it will suit your taste. I have rather unsophisticated tastes, so I feel a bit uncomfortable unless it’s Korean food.”

Sun Woo sat down and ordered the most expensive menu item.

In Ha hid her pleased smile and responded with an appropriate smile.

Until the meal arrived, In Ha never spoke to Sun Woo first.

Somehow, it felt like a blow to her pride to speak first or show that she liked him.

“Does it suit your taste?”

“It’s okay.”

“Ah. I see.”

Sun Woo’s expression twisted slightly before returning to normal.

“Why?”

“Usually, people say it’s delicious out of courtesy, so when you said ‘it’s okay,’ I thought maybe I chose the wrong restaurant.”

What’s with him?

Why is his attitude like this?

“No, it’s delicious. I’m just not someone who eats very well.”

“It shows. You eat like a little bird.”

What did he say?

In Ha felt heat rising to her head. But she didn’t show her displeasure and composed her expression.

Then she glanced at the shopping bag placed next to Sun Woo.

As expected, it was certain that Sun Woo had bought that bag to give to her.

She deliberately adjusted her posture and moved the bag she was holding to the side.

“The bag.”

At Sun Woo’s words, In Ha raised her head pretending to be surprised.

“You’ve already purchased it.”

“Ah, this?”

Smiling as she raised the corners of her mouth, she picked up the bag to show Sun Woo before putting it down.

“Mother said she really wanted to buy it for me.”

Then she sent her gaze several times to the bag placed next to Sun Woo.

“I see.”

“Why… are you like that?”

“It’s nothing. I was planning to give it to you as a gift. Things have gotten a bit tangled.”

Finally, Sun Woo reached out and handed the shopping bag placed next to him to In Ha.

“I know. But receiving it from you has a different meaning, so I’ll accept it.”

In Ha, who received the bag, turned her head to avoid showing a smile and shifted her gaze, when she noticed two people entering the restaurant.

What?

Why is she coming here?

Young Hwa was entering the restaurant entrance. And she was laughing and chatting happily with a tall, handsome man.

Surprised by In Ha’s expression, Sun Woo also followed her gaze.

When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did

“How dare you!”

“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?

“I will never accept that.”

“I will never let you return to him.”

“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”

“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”

“I will never let you escape me!”

This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!

At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.

Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.

The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.

Synopsis:

Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?

Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?

Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?

The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.

The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.

Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
