Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
“Or would you prefer I carry you?”
He actually reached out and hoisted Princess-style right off the ground, causing Eun Seo to shriek in panic.
“I’ll piggyback! I said I’ll piggyback! Put me down!”
As if he’d expected this all along, Kwon Seung Joo set Eun Seo back on her feet.
“Dress warmly.”
Warmly or not, her only outerwear was the single coat Seung Joo had bought her with his part-time job earnings. She’d refused to buy any outerwear even when they’d gone shopping together at the department store.
“Are you going to freeze to death?”
Apparently displeased with her coat, Kwon Seung Joo frowned and went out to retrieve his own jacket.
When Eun Seo, much smaller in stature, slipped into his oversized down jacket, she looked like a child drowning in adult clothes. Only after pulling the fur-lined hood snugly over her head—completely burying her in fabric—did he seem satisfied, then turned his back toward her once more.
“Climb on.”
And so, Eun Seo left the house piggybacked on the landlord’s back.
It was the dead of night in December. Though quite cold, she didn’t even feel the chill, wrapped tightly in thick layers. Carrying Eun Seo, Kwon Seung Joo began walking aimlessly through the apartment complex.
The landscaping was beautifully decorated with colorful fairy lights to welcome the year-end holidays. She’d been carried outside half-asleep, but the sight was so lovely she couldn’t tear her eyes away. Peeking through narrowed eyes from beneath her deep hood, Eun Seo gazed at the stunning lights.
As if he had eyes in his back, a stern voice came flying.
“Stop sightseeing and go to sleep already.”

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.
