"You don't want to tell me huh? Fine, get lost with this bastard. I don't have a daughter like you. You're such a jinx..."

Soon, Yan Xin was taken away by the police.

Seokjin looked at Y/N and said, "Sister-in-law, you're quite calm."

"It's alright, I controlled my temper mainly because she's a pregnant woman."

"Sister-in-law, you seem quite kindhearted."

'What a joke, I'm the most kindhearted fairy in this world, okay!? Most importantly, harming a child will cause me to be punished.'

Kai looked resentful just now, he immediately smiled gleefully again.

"I think I'm going to develop a phobia against women after this. Oh my god, women are so scary, no wonder Second Brother..."

Seokjin coughed and Kai immediately shut up.

Y/N rolled her eyes. 'You're pretending to be mysterious, huh? I already know everything!'

The main purpose of Y/N's visit to the company was to sign a contract with the new production crew and had merely helped Kai teach Yan Xin a lesson out of convenience.

The name of this palace drama catered to the latest preferences of the audience. It was titled "The Tumultuous Harem" which mainly depicts the story of a group of concubines who would do everything they can to win the emperor's favor and stand firm in the harem.

The character played by Y/N was called Heo Hwang-ok, the niece of the Empress Dowager, whose father was also a famous general.

After the death of the former Empress, she succeeds in becoming the new Empress through the Empress Dowager's connections.

The story begins on the day that she is crowned the Empress, where the selection of the female dancers occurs at the same time.

Heo Hwang-ok knew since she was a child that she would be entering the palace as a empress, and everything she did to learn was to become a qualified empress of the harem.

Heo Hwang-ok was a spoiled young lady. When she first arrived in the palace, she was bratty but she had a pure heart and was straightforward. However, after she was almost killed by a concubine of the emperor, she began to become jaded and vicious. She was capricious and arrogant but the emperor indulged her on account of her father's military power, thus causing her to dominate the harem.

Y/N watched with great interest. In her last life and the present, her greatest dream was to be a queen.

This time, she finally got what she wanted, although it was just a role in a drama.

The director of "The Tumultuous Harem" was Chen Keyi, one of the most famous people in the industry who had produced many popular period dramas revolving around the theme of power struggles.

He could be considered an expert in such genres of dramas.

The only shame was that Y/N found out after signing the contract that the female lead was her arch enemy, Ji-eun.

'Ah! We finally meet after all.'

After signing the contract, Chen Keyi shook hands with Y/N very kindly. "I'm looking forward to our cooperation. Now, we're building the sets for the scenes and after we shoot the stills, we should be starting with the filming in the middle of next month. Y/N, do you have any questions?"

"No, of course not."

As long as there was money to be earned she would have no problems. Besides, she was playing the empress, who was a tyrannical and powerful woman.

"That's fine, say hello to Mr. Kai for me. I still have some things to do, I'll get going first."

"Take care, Director Chen."

Y/N stopped smiling after Chen Keyi left.

Next, she had business to handle.

Although Yan Xin had nothing to do with her, the one who came up with that plan and instigated Yan Xin was...

Her face tensed up and she gave off a ferocious aura.

The Yan Xin incident had been completely clarified, and the netizens who previously slammed Kai, Second Young Madam Kim, and even the entire Kim family, apologized while Yan Xin was also known as one of the most shameless women in recent times.

Kai can finally go home and eat some hotpot joyously.

Night fell and Y/N, who was clad in a leather shirt and pants, headed to the best bar in the city with Jennie.

"Second Sister-in-law, what are we doing here?"

Y/N stood on the dance floor and swayed to the music. "To Beat him up. That scum."

Jennie's eyelids twitched. 'Who provoked Second Sister-in-law again? She actually came here alone!'

"Where is that friend of yours, Jennie?"

"She's still on her way."

Jennie followed Y/N and sauntered over.

Suddenly, Y/N noticed that the phone in her pocket was vibrating.

'Who's calling me at this hour!?!'

She pulled out her cell phone furiously and looked at the caller ID, only to find the number familiar.

"Jennie, who's calling?"

Jennie took a quick glance before immediately pulling Y/N away and running outside the bar. "Second sister-in-law, quickly answer it, it's from Second Brother!"

'Taehyung?'

'Pigs must fly. Why would Taehyung call me?'

"Second Sister-in-law, pick up, I've never seen Second Brother taking the initiative to call any woman before."

Y/N glanced at Jennie with a bizarre gaze. 'I'm your Second Sister-in-law, how can I be compared to other women? But then again, what if Taehyung is planning to unfreeze my black card!?'

Y/N picked up decisively and soon, she heard Taehyung's deep voice. "Why did you take so long to answer?"

"I'm having fun so I didn't hear the phone ringing, okay?"

Taehyung paused for a few seconds. "I heard of your victory today. My wife, you've got impressive tactics."

"You flatter me, I'm nothing compared to you!"

Y/N chuckled with an insincere smile.

Pretending not to understand, Taehyung asked, "We haven't seen each other in two days. Do you miss me yet?"

Y/N wanted to say no but an idea suddenly came to mind and she smiled slyly. "I do, I miss your muscles and I bet they'd be amazing to touch. I miss your lips too. They're thin and I wonder what it's like to kiss them."

Jennie widened her eyes in shock.

'Damn!'

'Second Sister-in-law is actually teasing Second Brother openly! She's so aggressive!'

Hearing Y/N's lewd words, Taehyung coughed to hide his embarrassment. "You're pretty lustful, huh?"

"It's only human nature to be lustful. Besides, I've been lusting for your face and body for a long time. I won't stop feeling tempted until I get my hands on you one day."

"..."

'My wife is really extraordinary.'

Jennie wished she could bury her head into the ground.

'Oh my god! What did I just hear? Does Second Sister-in-law flirt with Second Brother like this all the time? Second Brother, what would your subordinates think if they hear this?'

Y/N was still teasing Taehyung seriously.

"Mr. Kim, when do you plan to come home?"

Remaining composed, Taehyung answered, "During New Year."

'New Year! That's fine.'

"Mr. Kim, remember to keep your guard up against me when you come back. My goal is to force you to the wall and kiss you passionately."

???

Jennie felt like crying.

'Is it good for Second Sister-in-law to be so aggressive?'

Taehyung coughed violently and hung up without even saying bye.

'My wife is pretty wild.'

'She's quite attractive.'

All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door and Taehyung snapped out of his thoughts. Looking like a businessman as usual, he said, "Come in."

"Mr. Kim, the psychiatrist arranged by Mr. Seokjin has arrived. Madam Jisso has also told Second Young Madam Kim about your situation."

'Oh, really?'

Taehyung's gaze was a little uncertain.

'I wonder how she reacted. Will she find me strange?'

He suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

He was indeed acting pretty strange.

As soon as Y/N hung up, she saw Jennie staring at her with a peculiar gaze.

She touched her nose and asked with a look of bewilderment, "What are you trying to do?"

Jennie raised her thumbs and exclaimed, "Second Sister-in-law, you're impressive!"

"Huh?"

"You even had the guts to flirt with Second Brother, I take my hat's off to you!"

'Are you so excited that you don't have to speak to me politely anymore?'

Y/N suddenly smiled sinisterly and stepped forward to lean close to Jennie. She then reached her index finger out to raise her chin and blew a mouthful of air at her.

She had just drunk a glass of fruit wine so her breath reeked of a pleasant fruity scent. "Girl, are you attracted? Follow me and I promise you'll live a luxurious life."

'Oh my God!'

Jennie's face was flushed, and she felt her heart palpitate.

'Second Sister-in-law has such a glib tongue and is so good at flirting!'

Seeing that Jennie didn't reply, Y/N moved closer to her and sniffed her neck.

'No, no, no!'

Jennie's face was getting redder and redder, and she didn't even dare to look at Y/N.

'If Second Sister-in-law likes girls, Third Brother is definitely going to lose to her in terms of flirting. Many women will definitely ask Second Sister-in-law to flirt with them!'

While Jennie was deep in thought, a masculine voice sounded at an untimely timing.

"Baekhyun, I heard that you're going abroad to study. Not bad, it must be great to have a cousin who has married into a wealthy family."

"Yes, Baekhyun, when will you ask your cousin out for us to take a look at her? We're curious about what a wealthy man's wife looks like."

A few boys who were dressed in futuristic outfits came out of the alley.

The one taking the lead was the tallest and his hair was dyed red. His earrings were exaggerated too and there were several holes in his jeans.

Y/N squinted and sized up that boy.

'That's Baekhyun. He must be Se-jung's incompetent son.'

'What a nice name, but unfortunately, he has a horrible personality.'

"The target has appeared. Is your friend not here yet?"

'Second Sister-in-law, am I not enough!? Why do you still want my friend to be here!?!'

"Second Sister-in-law, my friend isn't as pretty as me, nor is her figure as good as mine. I'm richer than her too."

Jennie responded softly.

Y/N glanced at her without emotion. "So?"

'Second Sister-in-law, you were just flirting with me just now, but now you're disliking me!'

'Second Sister-in-law, you're being too much!'

Y/N couldn't be bothered to care about Jennie and simply followed Baekhyun and the others into the bar.

Baekhyun was obviously an old customer there, as many people came up to talk to him as soon as he entered.

"Hey, Baekhyun, it's been a few days since I last saw you."

The slightly shorter boy following Baekhyun was particularly proud as he introduced, "Baekhyun is the cousin of Second Young Madam Kim. He's preparing to go abroad to further his studies. Why would he have the time to show up here?"

Many women around turned to look at him after hearing that he was Second Young Madam Kim's cousin. They started posing and acting coquettishly to attract his attention.

"Second Sister-in-law, when did you have such an ugly cousin? Why have I never heard of him?"

A sense of crisis arose, and Jennie looked at Baekhyun with increasing displeasure.

'What's there to show off? My Second Brother is Second Sister-in-law's husband! Second Sister-in-law even helped me teach a heartless scum a lesson!'

'Second Sister-in-law loves me the most!'

"He's Se-jung's son, whom I've never acknowledged as my cousin."

'Se-jung?'

Jennie thought about it for a long time before finally remembering that Se-jung existed.

'She's that lady who tried to borrow money from Second Sister-in-law...'

'How is he her cousin? He's not related to Second Sister-in-law at all. Even I'm closer to Second Sister-in-law!'

Jennie found it unjust.

"Jennie, when is your friend going to come?"

Y/N was getting impatient.

Jennie was just about to ask her to wait for a little while longer, but she saw a young woman who was dressed fashionably walking in from outside.

"She's here, she's here. Second Sister-in-law, she's my friend, Anna. She's just as flirtatious as Third Brother."

Anna had long, wavy hair and was wearing a Chanel suit with a pair of eight-inch heels. As soon as she came close, Y/N could smell the thick perfume she was wearing.

She was quite pretty and was from a wealthy family too. She was Jennie's best friend.

In fact, they were better players most of the time.

"Anna, she is my second sister-in-law. Isn't she beautiful?"

As soon as Anna heard that she was Jennie's second sister-in-law, she immediately became respectful towards Y/N.

Jennie had told her how her legendary second sister-in-law beat Woo-jin up at least ten times, and she would mention Y/N several times a day too.

Now that she had seen Y/N in person, she found her to be good-looking.

"Second Sister-in-law, what do you need to see Anna for?"

Y/N looked at Baekhyun who was flirting with a beautiful woman at the bar and then took a seat in a corner of the bar.

"No hurry, I'm waiting for someone."

'Waiting for someone?'

Jennie was puzzled, but she didn't dare to say anything or ask any questions.

"Second Sister-in-law, I heard Jennie saying that you want me to help you teach someone a lesson, who is it?"

Anna quickly sat beside Y/N, as if they were close to each other. She then took out a bottle of perfume from her bag and said, "Second Sister-in-law, this is a gift from me to you. It's a custom-made perfume. Jennie said that you like mild scents. This one is a citrus-scented perfume."

Y/N looked at the beautifully packaged perfume which was custom-made and thought that it must be quite expensive.

She had a good impression of Anna, and now she liked her even more.

She took it smilingly and said, "You're standing on ceremony. Haha, since you're Jennie's friend, let's meet each other often in the future. Jennie is silly and gullible, but you look a lot smarter."

'Second Sister-in-law, where are your reservations!?! Are you getting won over just by a bottle of perfume?'

After chatting with Anna for a few minutes, Y/N discovered that she was also a typical brutal young lady who was arrogant but also particularly playful.

However, she seemed to be quite righteous.

However, it was almost a one-sided conversation on Anna's part as Y/N would only occasionally answer.

Anna couldn't help but nudge Jennie with her elbow and lean closer to her. She muttered, "Your Second Sister-in-law is so aloof and lofty."

"She simply can't strike up a conversation with someone she's not familiar with."

'Once you get into a conversation with her, you might miss her aloof self!'

"Sister Y/N, I'm sorry for being late, there was something I had to do at home."

Jun-ho hurried over and was still panting heavily when he bowed to Y/N.

"Okay, sit."

'Isn't this the heir of Heng-yuan Real Estate? He's Jun-yeon's brother, why is he so respectful to Jennie's second sister-in-law?'

Anna seemed puzzled.

"Jennie, you and Jun-yeon are so hostile towards each other, why is her brother and your second sister-in-law..."

Jennie answered proudly, "My second sister-in-law is just too charming!"

Not only was Jun-ho tamed by her second sister-in-law, but also the top actor Park Jimin!

Y/N and Jun-ho exchanged pleasantries and she suddenly turned her attention to Anna. "Miss An, please go and seduce that boy who is dressed like a beggar. It'd be best if you make him molest you!"

Anna answered seriously, "Second Sister-in-law, my name is Anna. An is not my last name."

Y/N was instantly displeased.

'Why do you have to change your given name?'

Seeing Y/N's gloomy face, Jennie nudged Anna and said, "Go quickly, that boy's mother tried to cheat my second sister-in-law, we have to take revenge for her now."

Hearing that she was asked to take revenge, Anna's eyes glistened and she stood up with her expensive purse before strutting over in her stilettos.

was flirting with a sexy girl.

Anna walked towards him and sat down beside him. "I'd like to have a glass of orange juice."

Hearing the young girl's voice that came from the side, Baekhyun first saw Anna's designer purse. He then subconsciously turned his head to the side. By the time he got a closer look at her face, his eyes lit up.

"Pretty lady, are you alone?"

"Does it matter to you if I'm alone?"

Anna had always looked down on people like Baekhyun who pretended to be rich. Her tone was arrogant too.

Baekhyun had met plenty of rich people after all. The aura of the beautiful girl in front of him was just different from other girls he had met. Besides, he could tell from the fact that she was dressed in designer clothing from head to toe that she was a rich man's daughter.

"Of course it matters. If you're alone, I'll treat you to a meal."

Anna humphed and asked, "Hmph, is that how you always flirt with girls?"

"I'm very upright, I just think you look new here. Let me introduce myself. My name is Baekhyun and Second Young Madam Kim is my cousin."

Pretending to be surprised, Anna asked, "Are you really Second Young Madam Kim's cousin?"

Noticing the change in Anna's attitude, Baekhyun nodded smugly and said, "Of course."

Seated near them, Y/N watched as Anna "seduced" Baekhyun.

"Second Sister-in-law, Anna is an expert at relationships. Just you wait, Baekhyun is going to take the bait soon."

"No wonder you idle about all day and your grades are poor. What kind of friends do you hang out with all day?"

"Second Sister-in-law, Anna is very righteous. I've known her since I was in kindergarten. Her father runs a skincare product business and she has given me lots of high-end skincare products that are customized to suit my skin!"

'Skincare product business?'

Y/N was immediately interested as those customized skincare products would cost more than 100,000 Won!

"Sister Y/N, do you like skincare products? I can give you some too. I happen to know some people who can buy them abroad."

Y/N glanced at Jun-ho and said, "Aren't our local products good enough? Why must you buy them from abroad?"

She couldn't understand why people of this era liked using products imported from abroad and were even so proud of it.

'Back in my era, the barbarians used to treat the products from my country as treasures! When I get enough money to buy a mountain, I'll make up for it.'

Y/N was still imagining the beautiful life of being the king of the mountain again when Jennie nudged her excitedly. "Second sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, Baekhyun has put his hand on Anna's shoulder!"

Y/N immediately looked at Jun-ho and said, "It's your turn to appear."

Still looking confused, Jun-ho wondered, 'What am I here for? What am I supposed to do?'

"Sister Y/N, what should I do?"

Displeased by his dullness, Y/N said, "Of course I want you to go over and beat him up. Accuse him of molesting your girlfriend. The bigger you blow things up, the better. Let Baekhyun damage your watch or something and then make him compensate for it!"

'Huh?' Although he was confused, he had no choice because Y/N's gaze was too lethal.

'I just have to act like a bratty rich man's son, right? I'm good at that, well because I'm one!'

Jun-ho smiled roguishly and sauntered towards Baekhyun.

Baekhyun was still showing off and bragging about how well his cousin was to him. All of a sudden, he felt a hand being put on his arm.

"Hey, punk, my girlfriend is not someone you can tease and molest. You're probably itching for a beating." After saying that, he pushed Baekhyun hard on his back.

He slammed his waist against the countertop of the bar, and the pain made him wince.

He glared at Jun-ho with infuriation. "Who are you? Do you know who my cousin is? How dare you provoke me? You must be tired of living, eh?"

Baekhyun was arrogant, but Jun-ho was even more arrogant than him.

"Haha, you're asking me who I am? Why don't you go to the upscale bars in the city and ask around? Everyone knows who I am. Punk, you're very arrogant, huh? Tell me, who's your cousin?"

At this moment, Anna glared at Jun-ho with a hostile expression, especially eager to draw a line between her and him. "Hey, cut the crap, since when am I your girlfriend?"

"Anna, stop it, you know very well that I have been pursuing you for a long time."

"Who cares?"

Baekhyun immediately understood that Anna had no interest in Jun-ho.

'Hmph, he must be the son of an upstart. Can he compare to the megarich Kim Family?'

Thinking about it, Baekhyun was smug and he looked at Jun-ho condescendingly. "I'm the cousin of Second Young Madam Kim. You're very brazen, eh? How dare you offend me. If my cousin and cousin-in-law heard this, you would die!"

'Ah! It's been long since I got involved with the triads, but this nobody is provoking me, huh?'

Jun-ho stepped on the chair with one foot and said with a disdainful gaze, "You're Second Young Madam Kim's cousin? Quit lying, I..."

Before he finished his words, Jun-ho felt a murderous aura coming from behind him and he hollered, "Today, I will let you find out the consequences of flirting with my girlfriend!"

He then reached out and grabbed Baekhyun's collar. Refusing to seem weak, Baekhyun immediately got into a scuffle with him.

Y/N watched as Jun-ho deliberately took off his watch and threw it at Baekhyun's feet.

Crack!

When Jun-ho saw the glass of his watch shatter, he squinted and kicked Baekhyun in the stomach. "Didn't you say that Second Young Madam Kim is your cousin? My watch is worth millions of Won. Compensate me immediately."

Baekhyun spat some saliva and glared at Jun-ho haughtily. Just as he was about to retort, the few boys who came with him walked out of the bathroom.

"Hey, isn't that Young Master Jun? It's been some time since we met. What have you been busy with lately?"

Jun-ho replied sluggishly, "Studying and managing the company."

There were many people surrounding them and more than half of them knew who Jun-ho was. Hearing that, they looked over in shock.

'This wastrel scion who's even more of a loafer than Kai said that he's been learning to manage the company?'

Hearing the way they addressed him, Baekhyun looked at his friend and asked, "You called him Young Master Jun?"

"Yeah, he's the heir of Heng-yuan Real Estate, everyone addresses him that way."

'He's the heir of Heng-yuan Real Estate?'

Baekhyun's face instantly turned pale and he bent forward to bow to Jun-ho. "Young Master Jun, I was too ignorant to have failed to recognize who you are. I'm sorry to have offended you. I really didn't know just now."

Jun-ho pointed at his watch and said, "My watch..."

"I'll compensate for it!"

"I'm not an unreasonable person. This watch is embellished with real diamonds and cost me more than a million Won. I'll round it off, you can just compensate me with a million Won. I want to see the money in my account within an hour. Otherwise..."

Jun-ho squinted. "I will chop off the leg that you used to step on my watch."

Everyone in Jun-ho's social circle knew that he would get up to evil all the time, and Baekhyun definitely didn't doubt his words.

Jun-ho would definitely chop off his foot!

His legs shivering, Baekhyun nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, don't worry. Young Master Jun, I must raise the money."

"Jun-ho has great potential for acting like a crook."

Y/N couldn't help but mock.

Jennie had a grudge against Jun-yeon and hence could not bring herself to be friendly towards Jun-ho. She rolled her eyes and said, "Second Sister-in-law, he's a crook to begin with."

Baekhyun was forced into the private room by Jun-ho's subordinates while Y/N and Jennie followed closely behind. They deliberately chose to sit in a dark corner.

In the past, Y/N was dressed in plain and boring clothes and often kept her head hung low. Now, she was dressed in clothes that were even more dazzling and bright than Jennie's. Thus, Baekhyun didn't recognize her.

'He is indeed the heir of a wealthy family. Even though he has a girlfriend, he's still out with two beautiful girls.'

Baekhyun looked at the two figures in the corner and thought to himself.

"What are you waiting for?" Jun-ho kicked the coffee table and hollered, "Hurry up and raise the money. I don't have time to play with you."

Baekhyun was scared soulless, and he hurriedly took out his cell phone to call Se-jung.

"Put her on the loudspeaker."

After the call with Se-jung was connected, Baekhyun pressed the loudspeaker button.

"My precious son, where are you? I cooked you a spread of delicious food."

Baekhyun looked at Jun-ho who was glaring at him and said, "Mom, do you have a million Won? I need it urgently."

Se-jung obviously didn't expect Baekhyun to ask her for money as she was stunned for a few seconds. "My dear son, what do you need a million Won for? Has the college called to urge you?"

Baekhyun darted his eyes around and said, "There's an impressive teacher in school who plans to nurture a few top architects together with a foreign entrepreneur. The teacher has high hopes for me so he asked if I want to sign up."

Hearing this, Se-jung raised her eyebrows and asked, "That's great, the salary for a top architect must be very high, right?"

"Of course, the annual salary is a million US dollars."

Although Se-jung was lowly educated, she was keenly aware of the currency. She was immediately on cloud nine and she squealed, "That's such a high salary, you have to go!"

"However, there are conditions."

"No matter what conditions there are, I must come up with a solution!"

Y/N exchanged glances with Jennie.

Baekhyun must be a repeat offender who often lied to his family.

"Mother, the conditions are that I must be a student of the school and I have to pay the training fees in advance. Mother, you know that such an impressive teacher definitely can't teach for free. The tuition fees, training fees, rent, and other expenses add up to about a million Won."

"So expensive? Must you pay it all at once?"

Baekhyun continued to lie without changing his expression, "Yes, it's a one-time fee, but I will be able to go for an internship in half a year's time. During the internship, I will be able to earn 200 to 300 thousand a month. Mom, hurry up, the teacher just sent me a text message and told me that there's only one place left!"

Se-jung clearly hesitated.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Hurry up, do you still want me to get ahead and be superior to others? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Baekhyun's voice was full of eagerness and that seemed to really be the case.

"Son, where am I supposed to find a million Won for you now? It's not a small amount!"

"You can go to my cousin, she is now Second Young Madam Kim, she can easily afford a million Won!"

Jun-ho subconsciously looked at Y/N.

Y/N's face was extremely austere, and she was glaring at Baekhyun.

'I can easily afford a million Won? Damn, if I'm that rich, why would I continue staying in the Kim Family and allow myself to be mistreated? I'd get a young hunk to be my boy toy!'

Sensing the gloomy aura that was suddenly emanated from Y/N's body, Jennie subconsciously moved towards the side.

"That little b*tch Y/N doesn't acknowledge her relatives at all. She actually had the guts to chase me out. How can we get money from her?"

'How dare she call Sister Y/N a b*tch? Outrageous!'

Jun-ho felt that he could not let Baekhyun off so easily.

He picked up the fruit knife on the table and waved it in front of Baekhyun. Baekhyun's back stiffened and he didn't even dare to move around a bit.

"Son, go talk to your teacher and ask for some leeway. We will pay in two days!"

Hearing her words, Baekhyun lost his temper. "At the end of the day, you're just unwilling to pay, right? Don't think I don't know you secretly sold the bracelet that the Kim Family gave to Y/N. You also cheated money from her previously, how could you not have a million Won?"

'Bracelet? When did the Kim family give me a bracelet?'

Seeing the puzzled expression on Y/N's face, Jennie explained softly, "Second Sister-in-law, it's true, Grandpa gave you a wooden box after you and Second Brother registered your marriage. That box contains a jade bracelet which is an heirloom passed down from Grandpa and Grandma. It has a heritage of hundreds of years and it's of superior quality. It's definitely worth millions."

'Damn it! I remember it now!'

At that time, the former Y/N registered her marriage with the accompaniment of Se-jung who snatched the bracelet away from her before she even got a chance to see it. Se-jung said that she would safeguard it for her, but she forgot about it in the end!

'Se-jung pocketed a million-dollar bracelet just like that!?!'

Y/N's eyes were burning with fury. 'Outrageous!"

'If I don't beat Se-jung up, I won't be a bandit anymore!'

"That bracelet belongs to your cousin, how can I touch it?"

Baekhyun sneered, "Mother, do you really think I'm a fool? Didn't you secretly contact the antique hobbyist to sell the bracelet at a discounted price long ago?"

Obviously a little flustered, Se-jung asked, "What are you talking about?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. I am your only son. The quality of your life in the future depends on whether I can make a name for myself. I just need a mere one million. When I start my internship in half a year, it will be easy for me to earn it."

Y/N couldn't help but reach out to grab the cellphone, but fortunately, Jennie stopped her.

Finally, Se-jung relented and transferred one million Won to the account number provided by Baekhyun.

"Son, I'm doing all this for your sake. Study hard, I'm waiting for you to make a name for yourself!"

Baekhyun was not the least bit ashamed of deceiving his mother as he directly hung up.

He immediately smiled like a fool and looked at Jun-ho. "Young Master Jun, the one million Won has been credited. Can you let me off now?"

Looking at the notification of the deposit, Jun-ho asked, "Not bad, how do you plan to explain to your mother?"

"Hehe, I'll just say that I got cheated out of my money. The Kim family is so rich, I'll just ask my mother to visit them and get the money back."

'Fool, that million Won was derived from the sale of the bracelet that your mother cheated Sister Y/N of!'

"Young Master Jun, I..."

Jun-ho waved his hand impatiently and barked, "Get lost!"

"Yes, yes, I'll get lost now!"

Baekhyun stumbled out.

As soon as he left, Jun-ho stopped looking arrogant and immediately smiled at Y/N sheepishly, "Sister Y/N, how do I give you the million Won?"

Y/N looked up and said, "Your watch..."

"It's okay, it's a birthday gift from someone else, I'm sick of it anyway."

Y/N finally nodded and accepted the sum of one million Won with ease.

However...

Her eyes were glistening and soon, she would be able to earn another 1 million Won. No, she would be getting the million-Won bracelet.

Y/N stood up and waved her hands. "Jennie, catch up to them. We're going to go and collect some debts!"

Jun-ho was extremely mean as he sent someone to tell Se-jung that she had been cheated by her own son.

As soon as Baekhyun arrived home, Se-jung gave him a huge beating.

Se-jung's new home was still under renovation and she currently still resided in the old neighborhood.

Her deafening voice and curses were so loud that the residents in the neighborhood all learned of the fact that her incompetent son had cheated her out of her money.

Y/N and Jennie, together with their lawyers, bodyguards, and two police officers, arrived at Se-jung's doorstep domineeringly.

At this moment, there were already plenty of people around.

One of the police officers knocked on the door of Se-jung's home first.

Se-jung was still furious. She opened the door furiously and was ready to curse at them, but she chickened out like a wimp when she saw the police at the door.

"Sir, you..."

The police first showed their documents and then answered, "Second Young Madam Kim has called the police to report you for selling her belongings without permission. The suspected amount is as high as a million Won, and it has already caused a severe impact. Now, please make a trip with us to the police station."

Hearing her words, Se-jung tried her best to smile and asked, "Sir, is there some misunderstanding here? How could I have sold Second Young Madam Kim's belongings?"

The police officer showed her the photo and said, "This is a photo provided by a collector. The Kim family has gone to confirm that the jade bracelet is an ancestor heirloom of the family. Se-jung, your behavior is enough to constitute a crime that warrants an arrest. Now, come with us."

Se-jung turned around to look at Baekhyun who was gloating and her indifferent daughter.

"Sir, that was given to me by Second Young Madam Kim. Since it was a gift, I should be able to sell it without consequences, right?"

Y/N walked over slowly.

She was wearing a pair of large sunglasses that almost covered her entire face. "Aunt, aren't you afraid of going against your conscience by saying that? Since when did I say it was a gift?"

'Y/N, you b*tch!' Se-jung clenched her fists and stared at Y/N murderously.

However, when she saw the bodyguards behind Y/N, she instantly wimped out.

"Y/N..."

"Please call me Second Young Madam Kim, thank you."

"Ahem, Second Young Madam Kim, you're just too forgetful. You personally gave me the wooden box containing the bracelet at that time."

"I told you to safeguard it, I didn't say that it was a gift."

"I... I just thought that... you wanted to gift it to me."

Y/N questioned assertively, "You mean you're admitting to selling my bracelet?"

Se-jung's expression changed. "I..."

"Since you've admitted, that's easy." At this point, Y/N's voice turned cold and hostile. "You either give the bracelet back to me or return me the money that you got after selling it. Otherwise, don't blame me for sending you to jail without regard for our kinship."

"Second Young Madam Kim, think about it. It's all thanks to me that you could marry into the Kim family. I deserve some credit too. Don't you think you're going overboard by putting me behind bars?"

Y/N retorted, "Am I?"

Se-jung squinted and tried her best to seem kind and affable. "Ah, I knew you resented me for not telling you earlier, but your grandfather's last wish was for you to marry an ordinary person!"

Se-jung sighed and continued, "You're aware that your cousin is going to study abroad too. The cost of studying abroad is very high! I had no choice but to pawn the bracelet to get some cash for an emergency. When your uncle receives the money from his business, we will redeem it immediately!"

Se-jung sounded righteous and logical, so much that many surrounding neighbors believed her.

Put in a tough spot, the police looked at Y/N and said, "Second Young Madam Kim, this..."

"Let's put aside the fact that she sold my belonging without my permission and broke the law, she even lied about selling it by claiming that she pawned it. Shouldn't an immoral person like her be punished?"

Hearing her words, Se-jung hurriedly retorted, "I admit that it is wrong to touch your things without your permission, but to be honest, we didn't mistreat you when your parents passed away! How can you slander me?"

'Slander?'

Y/N sneered, "The contract is right there in black and white, do you really think the Kim family is so easy to fool?"

With her face tensed up, Y/N slammed the photocopy of the contract that Se-jung had signed with the collector onto the table. "Open your eyes and take a good look. Do you want to have a verification done?"

Se-jung shuddered and realized that she seemed to have underestimated the Kim family's ability.

It was a piece of cake for the Kim Family to find the buyer of the bracelet!

"She actually really sold someone else's belonging without permission!"

"That pretty woman in a hat must be really rich, right? However, Se-jung has really gone overboard. Even if others are rich, it's not right to sell their belongings without permission!"

"Exactly. Se-jung's son has a poor character. Lots of kids in our estate are scared of him. How can he qualify to go study abroad?"

The voices of mockery were getting louder, and Se-jung felt a burning sensation in her face, wishing she could duck into a hole and hide.

"Se-jung is not a good person. No one in this estate wants to have anything to do with her. What she committed is considered theft. She stole from someone else, and it's said that she sold it for a million Won!"

"Oh my God, this person is simply a devil. Sir, quickly arrest her, this woman might encourage her entire family to steal from us in the future."

Y/N shot her lawyer a look.

The lawyer immediately understood and spread out the documents in his hands and said eloquently, "According to article XX of the Criminal Law, Ms. Se-jung's behavior is a severe crime. Unless she returns the money for the sale of the bracelet or returns the bracelet to Second Young Madam Kim, we have every right and reason to sue her till the end of the lawsuit!"

'What a joke!'

The Kim family's legal team was one of the best in the nation and they had never lost a case!

If they really got embroiled in a lawsuit, she would have to stay behind bars for at least ten years!

Se-jung was really scared and she looked at Y/N with a pitiful expression. "Second Young Madam Kim, the rest of the money we have is meant for Baekhyun's education. I really can't take it out, please, on the account that I'm your aunt and the fact that we took you in after your parents' death, let's just forget about this matter, right?"

Y/N was displeased.

"Are you as important as money? Who are you? You are just the woman my uncle remarried to. To put it bluntly, you're a mistress! Why should I respect a mistress, especially since your son belongs to your former husband? He isn't even related to my uncle, let alone me!"

Jennie secretly laughed at Se-jung.

'She deserves it. She dug her own grave.'

'Of all things, she had to covet Second Sister-in-law's money! Isn't that courting death?'

Y/N pushed her sunglasses downwards and shot Jennie a glance. Jennie immediately understood.

Next, it was her turn to perform!

Jennie was the epitome of a spoiled heiress.

With her arms folded, she looked at Se-jung contemptuously and frowned a little, clearly in disdain towards her. "You are worth nothing. Who are you to bargain with Second Sister-in-law? You're just a hillbilly who hasn't seen much of this world. You're disgusting and you like taking advantage of others. You must have gotten greedy when you saw how valuable my second sister-in-law's bracelet is!"

Se-jung had seen Jennie before so she naturally knew who she was.

She knew that she could not offend Jennie so she dared not voice her anger. "I... I was just doing it for my son's future, I..."

"Shut up, did I say that you can speak? For the sake of your son's future? Your son tried to flirt with my best friend and ended up breaking the watch of the heir of Heng-yuan Real Estate when he vied with him for my best friend!"

At this point, Jennie paused and sized Se-jung up. "Do you know how much that watch cost? I'm afraid your net worth is only a fraction of that price. That one million Won was clearly for Mr. Jun as compensation for the watch. How could you have the cheek to say it is for your son's tuition fees?"

Sensing the gazes cast at her, Se-jung's face was flushed.

There were a few wealthy women in the estate who tried to get close to her.

Some even tried to befriend and suck up to her because they thought that her niece was Second Young Madam Kim.

At this moment, those people were looking at her with disgust.

"Miss Kim, I..."

"That money was clearly compensation to the Jun family, you actually said it was for your son's tuition fees. The police are here, how dare you lie?"

Y/N chimed in, "I didn't expect that you'd ignore our hardworking police officers who toil to serve the nation. Aunt, you're very gutsy, huh?"

'This b*tch Y/N!'

Se-jung knew that if she did not return the money today, she would really go to jail.

Gritting her teeth, she turned around and took out the title deed of the new house. "Second Young Madam Kim, I'll use this house as collateral. Although it is a second-tier property, it is also worth a million Won."

Y/N glanced at the title deed and humphed coldly, hinting for the lawyer to settle the procedures.

She had already incurred a huge loss from the business and even lost money because of her useless son who cheated her of her money. Se-jung was truly bankrupt and had nothing to her name except that house now.

Now, she was about to lose her old residence too.

'How will the neighbors see me after what happened today?'

Not only did Y/N gain another million Won without any effort, she even got a house.

For the next few days, she was in high spirits.

For the sake of pleasing Y/N, Kai redeemed the bracelet for her with his own money.

"Second Sister-in-law, filming for the new drama will officially begin next week. The company has taken on a job for a magazine shoot on your behalf. The photoshoot will take place in America!"

Kai dashed towards Y/N and exclaimed excitedly, "I've already prepared the plane tickets for you and the company has assigned an assistant to you. He will be tagging along then."

'A photo shoot in America?'

Y/N looked at Kai with a straight face. "Why do I have to go there?"

"Because the job is offered by an American magazine for the international edition. People all over the world will be able to see you then. Second Sister-in-law, it's a perfect opportunity for you!"

"I can't speak English well," Y/N said especially seriously.

"Hah, that's not a big deal, the assistant whom we will arrange for you can double as your translator, but..." Kai stared at Y/N and continued, "Second Sister-in-law, you... You may be the only one in the Kim family who does not speak English."

Disagreeing, Y/N said, "You must be joking. I bet Jennie can't either."

Kai hesitated, secretly calculating the probability of his own death if he told her the truth.

However, when he saw how Y/N had assumed things, he still couldn't help but speak up, "You're really the only one who can't, English is the only subject Jennie can pass in every exam. She spent two years living abroad in the past."

Y/N shifted her gaze away from the phone screen and looked at Kai coldly with a murderous gaze.

Kai felt a chill down his spine. "Ahem, but that's Jennie's only redeeming quality. Besides, English is difficult to pick up in the first place. I only managed to learn it properly after numerous harsh beatings from Grandpa and my brothers."

After his explanation, Y/N said in displeasure, "I think you need a beating from me too."

Kai shivered and thought, 'I don't seem to have done anything wrong!'

Immediately afterwards, Y/N cursed, "What's the point of learning another language if I won't use it all the time? There are so many pretentious people who forget their native language after learning a foreign language."

She would absolutely not admit that she simply couldn't pick it up.

"The shooting this time..."

"I'll just take it that..."

"You will be shooting alongside with a Eurasian male model, and the remuneration is about hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Y/N stepped forward and paused before turning around and asking, "How much?"

"A few hundred thousand."

With a radiant smile, she said, "Ah, it's a harmonious society that we live in today, and we ought to learn more about the rich culture of other countries. Well, Sister-in-law has been in a bad mood lately. Book a ticket for her too, I'll accompany her out for a breather."

In addition to being the daughter-in-law of the Kim family, Jisso was also a renowned fashion designer.

Y/N did not have a concept of that profession and merely knew that even the cheapest gown she designed would be worth more than a hundred thousand Won.

Indeed...

He had to use money to tame Y/N into listening obediently.

'No wonder she doesn't like Second Brother.'

In the end, Jisso did not manage to go for the trip, but Jennie followed her there.

Kai knew Y/N's preferences very well and the assistant that he had arranged for her at the last minute was a hunk.

Looking at the male assistant who was clad in a suit and carrying a suitcase, Y/N wiped her mouth and asked, "What's your name?"

"You can call me Han."

"How old are you?"

"Sister Y/N, I've just turned 20 this year, I'm an intern of the company."

'He's only 20 years old!?! He's younger than me, oh no. What do I do?'

She suddenly felt an urge to protect him.

Jennie secretly sent Taehyung a voice message. "Second Brother, I'm here in America with Second Sister-in-law with a hunk. Be careful, she's showing signs of making you a cuckold!"

Even when they got on the plane, Jennie did not receive a reply from Taehyung.

Seeing Y/N forcing her to swap seats with Han, Jennie panicked a little.

'Second Brother, if you don't take the initiative, your wife is really going to fly away like a butterfly!'

During the filming of 'Female Fortress Leader', Y/N had been on the same plane as the production crew, but the flight only took two hours then.

However, this time, it was a long-haul flight that took more than ten hours.

They arrived in the US on the following day and looking at the foreigners around her, Y/N felt like she had gotten an eyeopener.

Jennie was dragging her suitcase and following behind Y/N who was looking around curiously. She secretly broke out in cold sweat.

She knew that Y/N was hot-tempered, but she didn't know that she would be that hot-tempered.

When they were on the plane, a chubby foreign woman badmouthed Korean nationals and Y/N almost beat her up. The matter only blew over because Han tried to calm her down by acting cute.

Now, she could sense a murderous gaze coming from behind her.

"Jennie, are you a snail? You're just helping Han carry the suitcase. You're almost 20 years old, why are you still so weak?"

'Weak?'

Jennie looked at the massive suitcase in her hand before glancing at Y/N who was munching on some snacks leisurely.

'Second Sister-in-law, who's the weak one?'

"Where's the driver that Kai arranged to pick us up?"

"He should be..." As soon as Jennie spoke, she suddenly looked at a certain spot in the parking lot.

Unsure if she had seen wrongly, she rubbed her eyes hard and kept them wide open to take a look.

'Damn!'

'It's really Second Brother, he's here to pick us up!'

Y/N was still chatting merrily with Han.

Jennie hesitated for a while. 'So does the assistant whom Third Brother arranged for Second Sister-in-law know about her identity?'

Just as she was thinking about how she could tactfully tell Y/N that they were about to meet Taehyung soon, the latter suddenly walked over.

He seemed to have come from an important event as he was dressed neatly in a light gray shirt that was tucked into his straight, black trousers, and he was holding his blazer on his wrist.

His hair had also been styled neatly, and coupled with his extraordinarily handsome face, he looked like he had walked straight out of a magazine.

Y/N had always been sensitive to attractive men and women. Thus, when she subconsciously looked over, she was greatly taken aback.

'What is this dog doing here? Has Taehyung become more handsome?'

With a faint smile, Taehyung looked at Y/N in the eye and strode over to take the bag in her hand in a gentlemanly manner.

"My wife, it's been hard on you."

"Why are you..."

"Shall we get into the car first?"

Han did not expect to see Taehyung there. Besides...

'What did Mr. Kim call Sister Y/N? His wife? What wife?'

"Sister Y/N, you and Mr. Kim..."

Taehyung was already looking at Han, and at this point, the smile on his face had instantly vanished. "You can go back to the hotel on your own."

"But... but Third Young Master Kim wants me to protect Sister Y/N."

However, Han's expression was strange when he said that.

Taehyung raised his brows and asked, "I won't harm my wife, will I?"

'His wife? Did Mr. Kim just say that Sister Y/N is his wife? Is she...'

Sensing that he had already discovered an incredible secret, Han immediately bowed to Taehyung respectfully.

"Mr. Kim, don't worry, I'll keep my lips sealed. I don't know anything, I didn't see anything."

At this moment, Taehyung was all that Y/N was thinking about.

It wasn't that she missed him. After all, money meant more to her than Taehyung.

It was mostly because... Taehyung was really handsome when he was dressed up!

'He looks so much better than that heartless scumbag!'

"You've had a long journey here, you must be hungry. Get in the car."

Only after Taehyung mentioned it did Y/N realize that she was indeed famished.

After looking at the Taehyung, whom she felt was a well-dressed hypocrite, Y/N sauntered towards the car.

Jennie dragged her suitcase along and was ready to follow them, but she was suddenly stopped by Taehyung.

"Second Brother, is there something wrong?"

"Where are you going?"

"To the car you and Second Sister-in-law, duh. I'm hungry too!"

Taehyung glanced at Jennie and said especially ruthlessly, "Go back to the hotel with Mr. Han for a meal if you're hungry. Y/N is not going back tonight."

???

'What do you mean?'

"Why is Second Sister-in-law not coming back to the hotel? Third Brother has already booked a room for us!"

After taking a look at the time on his watch, Taehyung said, "I can still afford a house here."

'Ah! I forgot that Second Brother owns a house here.'

Jennie waved her hand and said, "Second Brother, you should have reminded me earlier. Um, Han, go back to the hotel on your own. Second Sister-in-law and I will meet up with you tomorrow."

Han nodded and was just about to leave but Taehyung suddenly said, "Take Jennie with you."

Confused, Jennie looked at Taehyung in disbelief and asked, "Second Brother, why is Second Sister-in-law allowed to go to your house?"

Looking askance at her, Taehyung answered indifferently, "Because she's your sister-in-law."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

'Second Brother, you're so heartless! I'm your sister, your only sister!'

'Second Sister-in-law is right, you're just like a dog'

After Taehyung's car vanished out of sight, Han coughed awkwardly and asked, "Miss Kim, should we go back to the hotel now?"

Jennie glared at him viciously.

"Nonsense!"

Seeing that Jennie and Han didn't catch up to them, she looked into the rear view mirror in bewilderment and asked, "Are Jennie and Han not going to hop in?"

Taehyung gripped the steering wheel and kept his eyes fixed on the road in front of him. "Jennie is meeting a friend."

"What about Han? He's a college student and it's his first time abroad, he..."

"He also has an appointment with someone.'

'So I'm the only one who doesn't have any friends to meet abroad?'

Taehyung drove all the way to a villa area before pulling over in front of a small white bungalow.

"My wife, you can get off now."

Y/N was curious about everything here.

'The architectural style in the US is so beautiful, this bungalow is so chic! The air is so fresh and great!'

"Darling, let's head inside."

Y/N followed Taehyung to the living room which had a modern decor style, with monochrome colors that made it obvious that the occupant of the house was a man.

In the Kim Family residence, there were more than ten servants excluding the bodyguards and Y/N had always thought that everyone in the Kim family couldn't live without servants.

However...

There wasn't a single servant in Taehyung's home.

"Do you live here alone?"

"Yes."

"You don't have any servants?"

"I have a part-time cleaner who comes sometimes."

Y/N nodded and glanced at the clock on the wall. "How do you settle your meals then? Do you order takeout?"

Taehyung looked at her mysteriously. 'Do I seem like the type to order takeout?'

"Hello, Taehyung, what am I going to eat?"

After pouring Y/N a glass of water, Taehyung entered the kitchen and said, "Don't worry, my wife, the food I cook is edible."

'Is Taehyung planning to cook?'

Y/N looked at him apprehensively and asked, "Are you sure the food you cook is edible?"

Faced with her doubtful gaze, Taehyung remained calm and said, "You'll know after you try."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his toned arms.

Looking at the slightly bulging veins on his arm, Y/N gulped.

'It's yet another day that I want to sleep with him.'

Taehyung stir-fried some vegetables while Y/N stood by the door to look at him.

To be frank, he seemed rather skilful.

"How did you learn to cook?"

"I used to go on missions with the Kim Family's escort team."

The Kim Family's escort team was an incredible existence, as they often worked for the country and that was also the reason for their high prestige and reputation.

"Darling, do you like spicy food?"

Taehyung suddenly asked.

"I'm fine with it."

"I can't quite take spicy foods, can you make do with blander food?"

"A bandit never picks her food." Y/N was nonchalant.

She really wasn't picky with her food and would eat anything as long as there was meat.

Taehyung merely thought that she was referring to the role that she played in Female Fortress Leader.

There were three dishes and a bowl of soup, one of which was vegetarian.

Taehyung was actually not bad at cooking.

Y/N was already eager to eat.

"Darling, would you like to have some wine?"

"Red wine would be nice."

Taehyung nodded and looked at Y/N whose eyes were glued onto the food. The corners of his lips curled into a smile and he said, "Madam, please lay the table while I go get the wine."

"Oh, okay."

The dishes that Taehyung cooked were not only pleasant-looking and appetizing, they tasted superb too.

Y/N quickly wolfed down two bowls of rice, as if she had been famished for decades.

However, Taehyung, the tall man who was almost two meters tall, did not have half a bowl of rice at all.

When she was almost done with her third bowl of rice, Y/N looked at Taehyung who was drinking some wine elegantly. "Um, can I have another half a bowl of rice?"

Taehyung smiled. "As you please, my wife. It's a blessing to be able to eat."

"Your culinary skills are indeed better than mine."

Y/N spoke while chewing.

Hearing this, Taehyung raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Judging from what you said, you've never cooked before, have you?"

"Oh, I've once cooked noodles for Kai and he was almost moved to tears."

Kai would have denied if he heard her.

Once Taehyung heard that Y/N had cooked noodles for Kai, he moved his eyebrows a little and said, "Kai is lucky."

Y/N sniffled and looked at him in bewilderment. "Do you feel a sudden drop in temperature?"

Taehyung smiled particularly hypocritically and said, "No, Darling, you may still be unable to adapt to the temperature here because you've just gotten off the plane."

"That's possible."

Y/N had already finished almost all the food on the table and Taehyung began to clear the plates.

While he was doing so, he suddenly asked, "How do the noodles that you cook taste?"

"Delicious, of course. My culinary skills are comparable to the imperial chefs!"

Y/N said particularly confidently.

Taehyung nodded and asked, "Well, is it convenient for you to cook a bowl of noodles for me now?"

'Noodles? Haven't you just eaten?'

Y/N's eyes were full of bewilderment.

"I don't really feel like eating rice. I heard that you're great at cooking noodles so I'd like to try it."

Y/N couldn't stand it when others praised her.

Besides, she was being praised by a hunk like Taehyung.

"No problem, are you going to pay me?"

"100,000 Won."

Before Taehyung finished, Y/N turned around and headed to the kitchen.

When Taehyung looked at the large bowl full of noodles that Y/N brought out, his eyelids twitched.

Apart from the noodles and some vegetable leafs, the rest of the contents of the bowl was water.

It looked like instant noodles that were soaked in water without any seasoning.

"You don't have enough seasonings here. I only decided to cook for the sake of that 100,000 Won you promised..."

In fact, that bowl of noodles that Y/N made was rather bland and almost tasteless.

However, Taehyung somehow found it delicious.

He suddenly felt that it was not bad to keep her around to cook him noodles every day.

Although Taehyung was living in a large bungalow... only one out of the four rooms in the house contained a bed in it.

Y/N watched as Taehyung dragged her suitcase into the master bedroom.

The cool-tone color scheme of the room felt just as distant as him.

"There is only one bed at home, Darling, please make do."

Y/N realized that this place was different from the Kim Family's residence because there wasn't a sofa at all!

"Where are you going to sleep?" Y/N couldn't help but ask.

"The bed too, of course."

Upon hearing this, Y/N instantly became unsettled. "Didn't you say you'd let me sleep on the bed?"

Taehyung nodded and said, "We are a married couple."

'So? That doesn't seem right, that dog Taehyung has a phobia of women, he can't touch women!'

Thinking of this, Y/N suddenly smiled sinisterly.

While walking towards Taehyung, she removed her jacket and asked, "We've been married for such a long time, don't you think we should consummate our marriage?"

Taehyung's gaze turned gloomy because he didn't expect her to be so bold all of a sudden.

Raising her hand, she smoothly untied her bun and shook her head, allowing her black hair to cascade down her back like a waterfall.

The faint scent of shampoo lingered in his nostrils.

"Where should we do it? On the ground? On the seats downstairs? Or the balcony?"

Y/N lowered her voice and sounded particularly alluring.

Keeping a straight face, Taehyung said, "Darling, you have such special preferences."

Y/N whistled and winked at Taehyung. "I only have a special preference for you."

At this moment, she was just like a female rogue who was extremely sinister.

Taehyung's Adam's apple moved and he said, "It's my honor that you like me so much, Madam."

"Come on, baby, do you want to undress yourself or would you like me to help you? Don't worry, I promise you'll be full of desires!"

'Baby?'

Taehyung's thick brows were furrowed and his eyes were glistening.

'This woman is so good at teasing and flirting.'

As Y/N got closer to Taehyung, he was about to turn around but she suddenly pushed him towards the wall.

Taehyung was very tall and she could only reach his shoulders.

At this moment, she was supporting herself against the wall with the corners of her eyes slightly raised. Looking at him roguishly, she asked, "Mr. Kim, your nose bridge is high, you're tall, and you've got a great figure. Are you good in bed too?"

Taehyung, who had always had a high EQ, couldn't help but feel a little shy now.

His ears turned red and he was trying his best to keep a straight face, but the veins on his forehead were obviously bulging.

Y/N leaned closer towards his ears and blew some air into it. They were only inches apart but she maintained the distance.

"Mr. Kim, you look so charming when you're shy, I can hardly resist. Time is precious, Mr. Kim, shall we get started?"

"My wife, please know your limits," Taehyung said in a hoarse voice.

Although he did not like to be touched by women, that did not mean that he wouldn't have the same physical reactions as normal men, especially when Y/N was so charming.

'She's just like a demoness. Was she a vixen in her past life?'

Y/N waved her hand and said, "Hey Mr. Kim, don't be so shy, why don't we do it on the sofa? You just have to lie down flat and leave the rest to me. Don't worry, I promise you'll be addicted!'

'Such atrocious words! How can a girl say such words without feeling ashamed?'

Taehyung forced himself to remain calm, "Darling, it's better for a girl to be reserved."

"What is being reserved? Can that let me sleep with a handsome hunk?"

'What a joke, I'm a bandit with no reservations!'

"Don't be shy, Mr. Kim. We are a married couple, isn't it normal for married couples to do such things? I will be gentle. Come on, be good."

As she spoke, she suddenly freed out a hand to lift Taehyung's chin.

When her clammy fingertip touched the skin of his chin, Taehyung suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

Noticing the glint in his eyes, Y/N said with an evil smirk, "Ah, are you afraid, Mr. Kim? I know it's your first time, don't worry, it's my first time too. We can learn from each other, and once we gain enough experience, it'll be much easier in the future."

While speaking, she leaned even closer to him and her red lips were about to touch his face. Taehyung suddenly pushed Y/N away, tidied his messy clothes, and then turned around to go inside the bathroom. "I'll sleep on the couch downstairs. Go get some rest."

'Damn, I shouldn't have gotten someone to move the couch in the room away.'

Having dominated the corporate sector for so many years, Taehyung was a reputable and esteemed figure whom many were intimidated by. Yet, he was in such a pathetic state now.

Seeing that Taehyung seemed to be trying to flee, Y/N couldnt help but laugh out loud.

'Why is Taehyung so cute!?! He was so charming when he was being shy just now!'

Taehyung had always thought that Y/N was just joking when she said that she wanted to sleep with him, but he never expected that she was serious about it.

Y/N had a good sleep that night, unlike Taehyung who stayed wide awake on the couch downstairs throughout the entire night.

At the thought of Y/N's deliberate attempt at teasing him last night, he felt a little furious.

He was full of repulsion and breaking out cold sweat last night but...

By the time Y/N came to, it was already almost noon.

Still clad in her pajamas, she headed downstairs in her slippers.

As soon as she reached the staircase, she saw Taehyung who was seated on the couch.

There were two men in front of him.

One of them was holding a document in his hand and reporting to Taehyung about some business-related matters.

The other was a European man who was engaging in a conversation with Taehyung, which Y/N could not understand.

"Hey, I'm hungry, is there any food?"

Hearing the female voice that sounded out of nowhere, the two of them looked over, horrified to see a beautiful woman whom they had never seen before.

The thing was, she even asked Taehyung for food.

Knowing that Taehyung hated being interrupted when he was working, they thought that she would definitely get into trouble, but in the end...

"Assistant Wen has great culinary skills. You may try the food he cooks, Darling."

The man who was holding the document was Assistant Wen who soon figured out Y/N's identity after hearing Taehyung's words.

Sometimes, when Taehyung got too busy, Uncle Zhang would report the situation at home to Assistant Wen instead. Hence, the latter knew quite a fair bit about Y/N who was rumored to be violent.

Assistant Wen quickly bowed to Y/N politely and said, "Hello, Second Young Madam, what would you like to eat? I will cook it for you."

Y/N walked straight to the single sofa and sat down. Leaning back with her legs crossed leisurely, she answered, "Steak."

"Sure."

The European hunk did not understand what they said and simply looked at Y/N in shock.

Seeing that Assistant Wen was about to leave, he stopped him.

After a long conversation that Y/N once again did not understand, the European hunk suddenly bowed to her.

"This is Jamie, the person in charge of the Kim Corporation's companies in the US."

Taehyung gave an introduction.

"Oh, I see."

Taehyung decided to be nice for once and told Jamie exactly what Y/N said.

After Jamie said something to him, he suddenly looked at Y/N with a miserable expression. He swore to learn Korean!

Assistant Wen specially prepared two sets of steak.

In fact, his hands were shaking when he was cooking the steaks.

In the beginning, he thought that Taehyung and Y/N were not on good terms with each other and might even get a divorce any time but...

He did not expect Y/N to suddenly show up in Taehyung's place and more shockingly, clad in pajamas!

Well, there was only one bed in the house!

'No wonder I was tasked to move the sofa in the room away yesterday. Mr. Kim is so...'

'Forget it, I won't go there.'

The steak that Assistant Wen cooked really tasted superb, but unfortunately, he had underestimated Y/N's appetite and the amount that she could eat. She was only full after polishing off Taehyung's steak too.

"Aren't Jennie and Han coming over?"

Thinking about the temporary assistant that Kai assigned to Y/N, Taehyung was a bit displeased.

'She just needs a temporary assistant, why must it be a man? Doesn't Kai know that it's inconvenient for a woman to have a male assistant? Seems like Kai needs to be taught a lesson too.'

"They went straight to the studio to wait for you."

Taehyung looked at the time on his watch and said, "Assistant Wen, send my wife to MELLO."

Y/N looked up and asked with a bewildered expression, "Mello?"

'Uh...'

Assistant Wen suddenly realized that Y/N didn't seem to be proficient in English.

Remaining composed, Taehyung said, "The magazine that you are shooting for is called MELLO fashion magazine."

Y/N nodded. 'This dog actually knows better than I do.'

As soon as she was sent away, Taehyung took out his cell phone and called Kai.

Y/N and Jennie were both not around. Kai had gone to his friend's place while Seokjin and Jisso were away from home most of the time.

After staying at home for less than a day, Kai was bored out of his wits.

Suddenly, the phone rang and Kai sat up cross-legged. After glancing at the Caller ID, he immediately and respectfully answered, "Second Brother, is there a reason that you are looking for me?"

Taehyung said in a cold and indifferent voice, "The Kim Family has never dabbled in the diamond mining business in Africa."

'So?'

With a look of bewilderment, Kai asked, "Second Brother, are you planning to continue developing the Kim Family's business?"

"Yes."

"I never expected the legendary act of mining diamonds in Africa would come true in our home."

After Kai was done being emotional, Taehyung said, "You're quite suitable for that job. You can take over this project."

'What's going on?'

'What does he want me to go there for?'

Rubbing his years, Kai asked, "Second Brother, what did you say just now?"

Taehyung repeated patiently, "I want you to go to Africa to mine for diamonds."

!!!

'It turns out overbearing CEOs will really send their subordinates away, just like in the novels!'

However, in their family, it's the younger brother who got sent away!

Kai said anxiously, "Don't do that, Second Brother, I've been too busy with TG Entertainment lately and I have no time at all."

"The C-suites of Kim Group are not to be trifled with."

"Second Brother, Second Brother, what mistake did I commit? Feel free to tell me, I'll make up for it immediately, alright?"

Taehyung hung up the phone particularly ruthlessly, not giving Kai the opportunity to continue to plead at all.

Starring at his cell phone, Kai was the most desperate he had ever been.

Sending him to Africa to mine diamonds is worse than tying him up with raffia string!
