Having checked the screen, Miju answered the phone with a deliberately bright tone.
Siyun expressed his desire to meet as if he would run to her right away.
“What should I do? I’ve finished shopping. I’m heading home now.”
“Actually, I got scared when I tried to shop.”
“The price of one skirt is more than I can earn in a month. I feel like I’m dying.”
Siyun’s refreshing laughter echoed in response to Miju’s honest reaction.
“Yes.”
Was he asking about the situation just now? In response to the words encouraging her not to be discouraged, Miju spoke.
“There were some small things at the department store, but I’ll tell you when I get home. And I also met Hosomin.”
“I don’t care about what she said. In fact, I said something to her. Loud and clear.”
“Yes, very confidently.”
“Yes.”
“What else should I say?”
Miju glanced at Secretary Im in front of her. Even though Secretary Im wasn’t paying any attention to the phone call, Miju seemed to be the only one who noticed.
“Yes.”
Siyun responded as if to say that he shouldn’t make Miju uncomfortable anymore.
“Yes. Hurry up and come.”
Siyun seemed to acknowledge Miju’s response, which was whispered as if talking softly, and hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Siyun went up to the Wide Department Store’s Sky Lounge.
Siyun, who had planned to meet Miju, had already arrived at the Wide Department Store, and he had heard from Secretary Im before meeting Miju that Miju was meeting Somin.
Worried that Somin might trouble Miju with some unreasonable demand, Siyun was about to go up to where the two were.
However, according to Secretary Im, Miju was not just being mistreated, but rather Somin’s face was turning red. Trusting Miju, Siyun waited for their meeting to end.
And as he heard that Somin was confidently sitting in the Sky Lounge, Siyun started heading up there.
Siyun spotted Somin, who was looking at her phone with an arrogant expression. He approached her and sat down in front of her.
Lifting her head to confirm the person, Somin’s expression was half delight and half surprise.
“Oppa!”
Although she called him with a loud voice, Siyun just stared at Somin without responding. Putting away her phone, Somin took a seat in front of the table.
‘She must have told Oppa about meeting me.’
Somin felt irritated. Of course, she believed in the rightness of her words and actions, so she had nothing to fear. However, the thought that Siyun might take Miju’s side unilaterally had already put her in a bad mood.
“Completely shameless.”
“Who do you think you are, meeting Miju?”
“Is this all yours, Oppa? How are you going to stop running into each other while shopping?”
“We can’t prevent running into each other by chance, but stalking disguised as a coincidence. I can’t tolerate such investigations.”
“What are you talking about? If someone sees, they might think I’m stalking. Am I stalking someone, investigating someone?”
Attempting to act unfairly, Somin’s pitiful appearance didn’t appeal to Siyun.
“I chose that person. Don’t tarnish it.”
“I was dubious from the beginning. It’s an item covered in scratches, something that no one would take even if offered. Are you going to polish it and cherish it alone, Oppa?”
Somin casually referred to Miju as if she were an object.
“How about I treat you like an object too? Should I treat you at your level?”
Although he spoke with an even tone, Siyun’s voice contained an intimidating power that was beyond comprehension.
For a moment, Somin, who had been catching her breath, squirmed again.
“Oppa, it’s because you’ve only studied that you don’t understand. Do you think that girl only likes you? Don’t you see what’s happening in the world right now? Just look at the comments on the articles. Oppa is like a fool, and that girl is a ruthless witch.”
“Don’t look at such nonsense. Check the official press releases. And that trash you spilled, it’s you. I know you accepted that, being KBN Yoo Siyeon.”
Siyun had identified the journalists who wrote the initial article and potential figures who could be reporters. It was too easy for him to understand the relationship between Siyeon and Somin.
“Why… Why are you coming to me to investigate what the journalist reported initially?”
“Aren’t you two bosom buddies? Feeding each other, giving water. A close friend who chooses evil deeds while pretending to be pure.”
Somin couldn’t deny it and just blinked her eyes.
“Tell Siyeon too. Don’t wriggle. Don’t mess with my belongings, whether it’s an item or a person, with your hands and mouth.”
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.
