Cheol-wook’s crumpled forehead didn’t seem to relax.
Yuna was biting her nails in front of him.
“Tsk tsk. What’s the use of a man who can’t even scheme?”
“…….”
“What’s so great about Han Tae-kyung? I’m not expecting much from you. Can’t you at least capture Han Tae-kyung’s heart properly when I’m telling you to?”
“I, I’m trying my best.”
“Just trying won’t cut it! There should be results! If not, shouldn’t you grab him even if it means using your body!”
Tears welled up in Yuna’s eyes, but she bit down on the flesh inside her mouth.
Crying would only get her scolded more by her father, Cheol-wook.
She, too, wanted Tae-kyung. She wanted him more desperately than Cheol-wook did.
But when I can’t control my own feelings, how can I control someone else’s?
If that were possible, I wouldn’t have waited until now.
Instead, Yuna felt a rising rebellion against Jin Cheol-wook. But Cheol-wook’s rage was frightening, so she bit her lips tightly. Cheol-wook stared at Yuna with displeased eyes.
Yuna felt unfairly treated.
How much effort had she put in!
She had done everything to impress Hyun-young.
She had been doing all sorts of odd jobs in the HY headquarters planning office that she didn’t want just to maintain her current position.
She even sent flowers and gifts regularly for Hyun-young.
Yet, Hyun-young remained indifferent.
He was like an old snake that had lived for a thousand years.
To try to understand the heart of someone so unknowable, she had put aside her pride and adapted to his taste, making Cheol-wook’s nagging even more frustrating.
“You, if you can’t marry Han Tae-kyung by next spring, consider being engaged to DS Group’s Gu Chairman’s youngest son. You have to get married by the end of next year, before the presidential election.”
“DS Group? The youngest son…”
Yuna’s face turned pale.
The youngest son of DS Group Gu Chairman was three years younger than Yuna.
He was a troublemaker who caused all sorts of incidents without any restraint and gave Gu Chairman a headache.
During high school, he ran away to the United States to study abroad due to a school violence incident. Even there, he was notorious for bullying in the Korean community and having a scandalous love life.
Upon returning to Korea, he made headlines not only for simple drunk driving but for hitting a pedestrian while completely intoxicated and trying to escape. When caught by the police, he tried to shift the blame onto his friend, the passenger.
Though it was revealed, he assaulted a police officer, and he was currently on probation. However, his actions and despicable behavior remained unchanged, making him an unsettling character.
Yuna’s face turned deathly pale.
No matter how wealthy he was, even if it was for the election, to think of sending his own daughter to such a wretched person.
“I don’t like it. Even if I don’t know about others, DS Group is not acceptable!”
“Then, how about marrying SG Group Shin Chairman’s eldest son?”
“Dad!”
SG Group Shin Chairman’s eldest son was already in his forties with two divorces and a history of domestic violence. His reputation for mistreating women was so severe that there were rumors of mistresses in different regions.
Yuna nervously bit her nails.
Compared to the swing men, Han Tae-kyung was the perfect ideal type.
Already, physically, there was no comparison, and he was unmarried with outstanding capabilities.
Kim Seo-ha and the child were nothing compared to the incidents caused by the previous characters.
Dust, once shaken off, would be gone. If Kim Seo-ha and the child were expelled from Tae-kyung’s side, everything would be fine.
“I’ll marry Han Tae-kyung somehow. Just watch.”
“Sure. I expect you to. You must do it that way.”
“…….”
Cheol-wook received Yuna’s determination and raised the corner of his mouth contentedly.
Yuna was chilled by her father’s appearance but bit down on it and endured.
“Well then, I’ll go up. I have to go to work tomorrow too.”
“Go ahead.”
As Yuna was about to leave the study, Cheol-wook’s heavy voice struck her head.
“That woman, and especially that child. Figure out a way to separate them from Han Tae-kyung. Since this father blocked the reporters for his beloved daughter, handle the aftermath cleanly by yourself.”
Yuna froze on the spot, barely squeezing out her voice.
“Yes. I understand.”
As soon as the answer was finished, the sound of Cheol-wook’s massage chair starting was heard.
Yuna quickly left the study.
How much does my father know?
Even if it’s understandable for Kim Seo-ha, to know about that child as well.
The fear that he knew that the child was Tae-kyung’s surged.
Yuna recalled Cheol-wook’s words about blocking the reporters.
Now there was no turning back.
Somehow, she had to separate Seo-ha and the child from Tae-kyung and marry him.
“Mom. I’ll go to kindergarten.”
“Sure. Have fun and see you in the evening.”
“Yes!”
Min-jun ran into the kindergarten with a bright smile.
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.
