Feeling touched, Y/N handed her cell phone to Taehyung and said, "Mr. Kim, please take a photo of me."

Taehyung soon saw through her intentions.

He grabbed Y/N's cell phone and saw that the wallpaper on her lock screen was that of a doll holding a large gold nugget.

The corners of Taehyung's eyes twitched and he launched the camera app to take a photo of Y/N.

The entire process took less than a minute.

"You're done so quickly?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure that you got a clear shot of me?"

'Such a typical guy.'

Y/N took her cell phone back and looked at the photos, only to realize that they were quite well-shot.

With her hands in the pockets of her coat, she raised her chin slightly and smiled brightly while posing in front of the fireworks that served as a beautiful backdrop.

Taehyung walked over and leaned against the railing. "Madam, there's something called getting all the right angles."

'Of course I know that, I'm an actress after all!'

Y/N glared at Taehyung and then uploaded the photos onto Instagram smilingly.

[@BanditLeader: Why are my babies so cute? I really want to sleep with you guys.]

Soon, Y/N received a large number of replies.

[Sister Y/N, please sleep with me, I've already washed up.]

[My bed is two meters wide, we have ample space to roll around on it!]

[What nonsense is that? Back off, all of you, I'm going to seduce Sister Y/N with my personal charm. Sister Y/N, I can be the dom or sub.]

'Huh?'

Y/N blinked in confusion and looked up at Taehyung, "Mr. Kim, let me ask you a question."

Taehyung nodded. "Yes."

"What does dom and sub mean?"

With a trace of bewilderment in Taehyung's eyes, Taehyung took out his cell phone to search it up on the Internet, after which his expression immediately became peculiar.

"Oh, a fan said that as long as I accept her, she can be the dom or the sub but I won't mind anything as long as she's pretty.

Taehyung's face immediately became sullen.

"It's used to describe scumbags."

"Huh?" Y/N's eyes widened in confusion. She immediately comforted, "Mr. Kim, don't worry, I won't be a scumbag before we get your illness treated."

Taehyung felt that she sounded even more like a heartless woman after she said that.

After replying to a few comments selectively, Y/N looked at Taehyung coyly and knocked her shoulder against his. "Mr. Kim, it's my birthday today."

"Yes."

"Mr. Kim, I'm Second Young Madam Kim after all. Are you really not planning to give me a present or something?"

Taehyung looked at her with a mysterious and ambiguous gaze.

Seeing how cocky he was, Y/N sulked and humphed coldly. "Mr. Kim, a boring man like you should remain a bachelor for the rest of your life. Don't waste the wonderful youth of a woman."

After saying that, she turned around to leave but Taehyung suddenly stopped her.

Y/N raised her brows and stared at her wrist which he was holding tightly, sensing the warmth of his palm.

"Don't you want a gift?"

Taehyung let go and looked her in the eye with a deep gaze.

Y/N rubbed her hands with a lewd smile.

'Since it's a birthday gift, Doggy Taehyung definitely wouldn't be too stingy with it.'

Amidst her expectant gaze, Taehyung pulled out a delicate box from the pocket of his coat.

The surface of the box was made of velvet and Y/N could tell from the material that it contained something expensive.

He slowly opened the lid to reveal a ring.

It had a simple design with a small but exquisite diamond on the top and a vine-like ring body.

"You got me a ring?" Y/N was a little surprised.

"We're married after all. I do owe you a ring, Darling."

As he spoke, Taehyung grabbed Y/N's hand and put it on for her.

Looking at the ring on her finger, Y/N blinked with some confusion.

She suddenly glanced at Taehyung and finally realized that there was a ring on his ring finger too.

His fingers were long, slender, and bony, so the ring looked particularly beautiful on him.

"Mr. Kim, is this your birthday gift for me?"

Taehyung glanced at her, as if to say "What else do you want?"

Y/N raised her hand and admired it under the moonlight for a long time. "Mr. Kim, shouldn't you be giving me a diamond of a larger carat?"

'Diamonds are getting more and more valuable these days. How little would this cost?'

"The diamond stone that Grandpa gave you is rather excellent."

"That is a gift from grandpa not from you, how can they hold the same significance?" As soon as Y/N said that, she suddenly felt that there was some ambiguity in Taehyung's words.

Yes, it was ambiguous.

Too ambiguous.

She coughed twice. "It's getting late, let's go back."

'Doggy Taehyung took the initiative to hold my hand just now, does it mean that his misogyny has gotten better?'

Y/N grinned gleefully. 'Actually, I do want to have a taste of Doggy Taehyung.'

Taehyung had no idea that he had already been targeted by the female lecher beside him. At this moment, his cell phone happened to ring.

It was a call from Ji-woong. Although Y/N didn't know what they talked about, she felt that there was a change in Taehyung's aura as it was now full of menace.

Since she was a bandit leader, she was very familiar with murderous aura. Seeing that he had hung up, she could not help but ask, "What's the matter?"

"Something cropped up. Can you go home by yourself?"

"What happened? Take me along."

Considering the fact that his injured underlings must be in tattered clothes now, Taehyung refuted, "It's just some matters between men. Darling, you should go home."

After saying that, he called a cab for Y/N before getting inside his own car to leave.

'What do you mean it's a private matter between men? Doggy Taehyung is so problematic!'

As soon as she arrived home, she saw Jisso and Jennie standing at the door, their faces covered in anxiety.

"Jisso, what's wrong?"

Jisso held Y/N's hand and asked, "Y/N, did Taehyung go to the base of the family's escort team?"

"I think so."

Jisso suddenly sighed. "We can't even spend the Lunar New Year in peace."

Y/N frowned at look at Jennie before questioning with a commanding tone, "What is going on?"

"Second Sister-in-law, the third squad is back and it's said that they had a brutal fight with the bodyguards of the Min family."

"Why did they fight?"

"Based on what I heard, both families have set their sights on the same mineral ore. In the past, the Min family have been on rather good terms with us and we were considered allies. I don't know what happened this time but they got into a serious fight."

Jisso suddenly sighed. "When it comes to business, allies are only temporary. All allies are bound to turn against each other when interests are involved. I rather admire Jungkook, actually. At the very least, he's going against Taehyung openly instead of resorting to underhanded tricks."

Y/N waved her hands expressionlessly. "I don't understand, neither am I interested. Let them be."

"Second Sister-in-law, it's our family's business at stake. What if we lose?"

Y/N said with raised brows, "There' nothing that can't be solved with a fight. If one fight doesn't work, we'll fight again. If not, we'll fight them to the death."

Jisso and Jennie looked at each other, both thinking to themselves that Y/N was probably the only person in this world who was so tyrannical.

"Or..." Y/N suddenly developed an interest in the matter. "Why don't I go help them fight?"

"Y/N I have a set of new clothing that I'd like you to try."

"Second Sister-in-law, I'm going to play a video game with a gaming expert tonight. He's a fan of yours!"

They really managed to divert Y/N's attention.

The three brothers of the Kim family seemed to have gone to deal with the fight for the mineral sources. Thus, Y/N was bored out of her wits at home.

"The way you people celebrate the Lunar New Year is so boring. The shops are all closed, these people are not seizing the great opportunity to make money at all."

Y/N was laying sluggishly on the sofa, clad in a teddy bear pajamas with one leg crossed over the other. She didn't care about her image at all but she somehow didn't seem loathsome.

Jennie always felt that it was because Y/N was a great beauty.

"Second Sister-in-law, let's play the game again, we have nothing else to do anyway."

Y/N glanced at her with great disgust and mocked, "Your skills are terrible and you're slower than a tractor."

Jennie felt hurt. 'But, Second Sister-in-law, your skills aren't much better!

Y/N was a classic aggressive but lousy gaming newbie. She would follow the crowd and run but her avatar would end up getting killed every single time.

Unfortunately, Jennie dared not speak out in anger.

"Where's Jisso?"

Overwhelmed with boredom, Y/N felt that Jisso was the one one who could relieve her loneliness.

Y/N got up and prepared to go upstairs but Jennie hurriedly interjected. "Jisso has returned to her maiden home. No one is at home for the Lunar New Year this year so she decided to go home and celebrate with her family."

"..."

'Doesn't that mean that I'm left alone with Jennie in this massive manor of the Kim Family?'

Sensing the strong disdain Y/N felt towards her, Jennie touched her nose aggrievedly. At this juncture, the telephone handset happened to ring.

Jennie hurriedly answered the call but she suddenly looked at Y/N with a bizarre expression. "Second Sister-in-law, it's a call for you." She paused and then continued, "It's from your uncle."

'Uncle?'

Y/N quickly thought about it and finally remembered that she indeed had an uncle but he didn't seem to be on good terms with Y/N's late mother.

The original Y/N didn't have a close-knit family.

"What are you looking for me for?" Y/N questioned sternly.

"Your grandmother is hospitalized due to a recurring illness and needs a large amount of money for her medical expenses. They don't have enough money now so they want you to go and pay for it."

'Huh? Asking me for money?'

She strode over and snatched the handset away from Jennie.

Jennie stayed beside her obediently. After a brief conversation, Y/N hung up with a sinister smile.

"Jennie, get your popcorn ready, we're going to watch a show."

"Watch a show?"

"It's a huge family drama and I'm the leading actress while you're the supporting actress. Are you excited?"

"..."

When the two of them arrived at the hospital, they immediately saw Se-jung who was standing outside the ward.

Yuna was seated on a chair sluggishly while chewing on a piece of gum. There was a stylishly dressed man beside her who was hanging his head low and playing with his cell phone.

Y/N reckoned that he should be her cousin who was said to be going abroad to make a name for himself.

As soon as she saw Y/N, Se-jung leaped towards her while wailing. "Y/N, you're finally here. Your grandmother can't hang in there for much longer. The doctor refuses to perform the surgery before we pay the bills, please save your grandmother!"

Since it was the Lunar New Year, there were very few nurses on duty, which made the corridors seem rather empty. Se-jung's crying had also become rather abrupt and loud.

Y/N turned to the side and dodged Se-jung's hug. "Aren't you pretty rich?"

Se-jung was stunned and she suddenly widened her beady eyes while wiping the corners of her eyes with the back of her fat hand. "How can I possibly be rich? The living expenses of your cousins are extremely high now, and I have to pay for their tuition fees! Y/N, you've always been the most filial. Now that your parents are no longer around, shouldn't you be more filial to your grandmother?"

'Filial?'

Y/N was confused. 'Do I look like a filial person?'

"No, how am I rich in any way? Your husband is her son but instead of paying for her medical expenses, he wants his niece to pay instead. Is your family crazy?"

Se-jung immediately sat on her knees and began to cry out loud.

"Oh God, what sins has my mother-in-law committed in her last life to deserve such an unfilial granddaughter..."

Her crying was so loud that it caught the attention of the family members of a few patients and the medical staff on that floor.

"My poor mother-in-law is seriously ill, and her granddaughter, who has always been the apple of my mother-in-law's eyes. However, after she became rich, she turned her back against us and refuses to pay her grandmother's medical expenses that have amounted to a million Won. My mother-in-law is so pitiful! If her late son and daughter-in-law were to find out, they'll definitely drag this unfilial daughter of theirs down with them..."

Two nurses came over to stop Se-jung from kicking up such a fuss but the latter stubbornly refused.

She was certain that Y/N would not dare to resort to violence in front of so many people. Thus, she started winking at her children while weeping.

Her youngest son was extremely prideful and didn't want to be embarrassed so he stood far away from them. Having learned her lesson since the previous incident, Yuna didn't dare to act presumptuously.

However, when she thought of the fact that Se-jung had promised to buy her a genuine designer bag after she got some money, she suddenly knelt onto the ground and began sobbing as her shoulders twitched. "Y/N, Grandma is so pitiful. I'm sure you know what my younger brother is like. We really can't afford to pay the bills. Y/N, please save Grandma!"

The surrounding outsiders were all women and after hearing those words, they were immediately filled with righteous indignation. Thus, they started to help Se-jung and Yuna rebuke Y/N.

"How can there be such a heartless little ingrate? She should have been strangled to death right after she was born?"

"Exactly. Look at what she's wearing, she must have earned lots of money. Yet, she can't even bear to pay for her grandmother's medical expenses now that her grandmother is seriously ill and on her deathbed. If I were her grandmother, I would have long been angered to death."

An older woman came forward and glared at Y/N with great displeasure. "Young lady, you should be doing more merit and show your grandmother filial piety while she is still alive. Otherwise, you will regret it when she's gone in the future."

"Exactly. Look, even your cousin is more understanding than you are."

Y/N particularly detested nosy parkers who liked reprimanding others without getting their facts right.

"If your grandmother is ill, do you think you should look for her son for money first or her granddaughter first?" Y/N asked rhetorically.

The old lady frowned and said, "As her granddaughter, you ought to pay. Can't you see that your uncle's family is struggling to make ends meet? Thank God you're not my granddaughter. Otherwise, I'll definitely beat you to death."

Jennie was just about to stand up for Y/N but Y/N suddenly slapped her thighs and cried out loud too. "Three million Won! We're talking about three million Won! I worked so hard, scrimped and saved every penny I had for more than two decades but your entire family cheated me out of all my money. Now...now you're still expecting me to sell my kidney for Grandma's treatment? Have you got a conscience at all?"

Se-jung and Yuna both stared at Y/N with astonishment.

She was very pretty and now that she was weeping miserably, she did look rather pitiful.

"Is there still justice in this world? You married my uncle as a divorcee with two children and cheated me out of my three million Won. What else do you want? Are those three million Won not enough for my grandmother's surgery? Is it that hard to pay for her bills when you have so much money? Have you got a conscience at all? I paid for the tuition fees of both your son and daughter. I even had to go around finding money to pay for the down payment of your house. Are you people out to kill me?"

Y/N was getting out of breath while crying.

Jennie was dumbfounded. 'Second Sister-in-law is still the same as usual.'

'How can Second Sister-in-law be so powerful?'

"So that's how it is?" Feeling a little embarrassed, the elderly lady hurriedly helped Y/N up and said, "Hey, girl, I've misunderstood you and wrongly blamed you. In this case, your aunt and her family are really inhumane."

"Yeah, how can she be so shameless? At the end of the day, it turns out she's been framing this girl."

Se-jung cursed Y/N in her head but she quickly shook her head and defended herself. "Stop accusing others. You're such a violent girl, and you won't hesitate to hit anyone. How can I possibly dare to ask you for money? You just refuse to help your grandmother now that she's in need."

Y/N had never lost when it comes to kicking up a fuss in public.

She leaned against Jennie's shoulder and placed one hand on her forehead. "I still have the transfer record of the sum of money I gave you. How can such shameless people like you exist in this world? Hasn't Grandma's ancestral home already been acquired by the government? Didn't you get a lot of money from that? You must have given it to that wastrel, are you out to kill me?"

Seeing the way Y/N was behaving, Yuna recalled the scene of Y/N teaching her a hard lesson.

She suddenly realized that Y/N was incredibly terrifying.

She tugged Se-jung's sleeve and said in a fearful tone, "Mom, forget it, Y/N is not the same as she used to be. We can't beat her at all, she's very good at this."

"What do you know? If we don't get some money from her this time, it'll be impossible to do so in the future. Didn't you hear what your grandmother said?"

"But..."

Se-jung glared at her before turning to look at Y/N again. She continued to say emotionally, "You've indeed helped us before but you know very well how expensive it is for your cousin to study abroad. If we could afford to pay for his expenses, would we have stooped so low as to ask you for help repeatedly?"

"Study abroad? How can your son who knows nothing except eating, drinking, gambling, and fooling around be worthy of going abroad to study? Are you sure you're not joking?" Y/N said with disdain.

Dino, who had been standing at a distance away from them and playing with his cell phone, charged forward furiously. "Bitch, you'd better pay attention to what you say. We asked you for money because we look up to you. If you provoke me, I'll make sure you get a hard time."

Jennie subconsciously took a step back and looked at Dino with sympathy in her eyes. 'Kid, didn't your mother and dear sister tell you that Sister-in-law's not to be provoked?'

With a smile, Y/N reached her hand out to grab the finger that Dino was pointing at her. "Try saying that again."

Feeling the excruciating pain that was overwhelming him, Dino's face turned red immediately and he hollered, "Hurry up and let go of me. Are you asking for a beating? Y/N, let go of me!"

Seeing that her precious son was suffering in pain, Se-jung quickly stepped forward and barked, "You little bitch, do you know that Dino is the only successor of our family? Let go of him!"

"Only successor of your family?" Y/N sneered. "What do you have for him to inherit? My mom's ash urn?"

In her memory, to be precise, in the original owner's memory, the relationship between her biological parents and her was just mediocre. They were neither too close nor too distant. If they weren't related by blood, they might not even be considered familiar strangers.

"Kid, you've got some nerve." Y/N released Dino's hand and bent her knee before thrusting it into Dino's stomach, causing him to grimace in pain. He even clutched his stomach and curled up into a ball on the ground.

"Take my advice. If you see me in the future, you'd better make a detour and avoid me. The same goes for your family, don't keep trying to make me abuse you. I feel so sad for you too. Take those three million Won as a donation from me too. Now, get lost immediately with your mother and sister!"

Se-jung's face was incredibly gloomy and she was glaring at Y/N with indignation.

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to cheat Y/N out of a sum of money but she didn't expect Y/N to completely turn her back on them. Even after hearing that her grandmother was hospitalized, she refused to fork out a single cent.

Seeing that everyone was pointing at her and making remarks incessantly while the medical workers tried to dissuade her but to no avail, Se-jung felt really embarrassed.

'Who does this brat think she is? If Yuna wasn't underage at that time, she would have been the one marrying Taehyung, not Y/N!'

The door of the ward was opened at this moment and a middle-aged man walked in.

He was clad in an ill-fitting suit that obviously wasn't suitable for his thin stature, and staring at them sternly.

Se-jung quickly went forward. "You're finally here! Look at your dear niece, she refuses to pay a single cent for Mother's medical expenses even though she's already so severely ill."

Seong-hun assented with a frown and stared at Y/N sternly, as if he was looking at a defiant junior. "Why aren't you paying for your grandmother's medical expenses?"

Y/N retorted, "Why aren't you paying for your mother's medical expenses?"

"You... I'm your uncle! Is that how you should be talking to me?"

Y/N rolled her eyes and thought, 'Just my luck to be involved with this family.'

"You unfilial granddaughter, I should really take you in hand on behalf of your late parents."

As he spoke, Seong-hun raised his palm and was about to slap Y/N on her face. "Such an insensible girl. You're a huge disgrace to our family, I must teach you a lesson today!"

Seeing that the slap was about to land on her face, Y/N turned slightly to the side just in time to dodge it. At the same time, she pushed Seong-hun too.

Seong-hun staggered backwards by several steps and glared at Y/N in disbelief. "How dare you hit your elders? How did your parents teach you?"

Y/N retorted sneeringly, "My parents died a long time ago. As my mother's younger brother, shouldn't you be aware of that? I'm not a Lee, and what happens to your family has nothing to do with me."

"You..."

"What? Do you really think I'm still the pushover that you can boss around? Didn't your newly wedded wife tell you to leave me alone? Do you believe me? I'll make sure the Kim Family destroys you."

After saying that, she dragged Jennie to the elevator and left. "By the way, if you dare to pocket the money that I'm giving you for that old lady's medical expenses, I'll see you in court. Don't take it that I'm joking, Miss Kim here has heard and witnessed everything."

Seong-hun stared in awe at the young girl who walked into the elevator behind Y/N.

'That's Miss Kim?'

'Didn't Se-jung say that this ingrate isn't close to the members of the Kim Family?'

He suddenly glared at Se-jung with a dangerous gaze, causing her to feel a little scared.

Both Y/N and Jennie were not around and Jisso suddenly felt like she was an outsider instead of a member of the Kim Family.

'He's never been kind or spoken to me nicely in the past three years that we've been married. He must hate me, huh?' Jisso wondered to herself as she sat on the couch and stared at her cell phone screen. She had received a text from Y/N.

"Young Master Seokjin is back," Zhang Guoquan said loudly. Jisso subconsciously looked over to see Seokjin striding through the door.

He was wearing a white lab coat, looking rather dignified and refined. However, Jisso knew how cold and aloof he was beneath his gentlemanly facade.

Jisso got up and took the computer bag from his hand. "Seokjin, has the feud with the Min family been settled?"

Seokjin said without even looking at her, "It's none of your business."

Jisso subconsciously pulled down the hem of her shirt with a presentable smile on her face. "Do you have two minutes to spare?"

Seokjin ignored her and continued walking forward. Jisso didn't dare to hesitate any longer and quickly said, "Seokjin, let's get divorced."

Seokjin finally stopped walking and looked at her straight in the eye. With a slight frown of displeasure, he said, "Jisso, don't be nonsensical."

'Nonsensical?'

Jisso smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not being nonsensical. I know you don't want to acknowledge our marriage and if we continue dragging this on, it'll be exhausting for the both of us."

She really used to have countless fantasies about the life she would lead after marrying him.

She now realized that they were nothing but fantasies.

She envied Y/N for her carefree and spontaneous character.

Seokjin had a gloomy gaze and a sullen expression on his face. "I'm very busy, I don't have time to waste with you. Don't say such things again in the future, Grandpa won't be happy to hear them."

After saying that, he continued to go upstairs.

Jisso bit her lower lip, thinking to herself that she probably wasn't of much use to him. Seeing that Seokjin was about to disappear from the stairwell, Jisso couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Seokjin stopped and turned to look at her. "What do you mean why?"

"Your junior is back and...there's nothing holding you and me together. Why won't you agree to the divorce?"

Jisso had an ever-present elegant smile on her face and being born with a golden spoon in her mouth, she had always held herself with grace and composure.

After a few seconds of silence, Seokjin said indifferently, "The Kim Family needs a Young Madam like you."

'Is that the only reason?'

When Y/N and Jennie arrived home, they saw Jisso sitting on the sofa in a daze.

She didn't look well and seemed to have not noticed their presence.

Y/N glanced at Jennie and ordered, "You, go upstairs and study."

She then smiled immediately and stepped forward to sit down beside Jisso. "My dear sister-in-law, do you miss me after a few hours of being away from me?"

Jisso was slightly startled but she quickly smiled and looked at Y/N. "You're home. Have you had dinner?"

"No, the shops on the street aren't open. Even the noodle store is closed," Y/N griped with a frown. "Is Seokjin home yet?"

"Yes." Jisso hesitated before saying, "Y/N, I just told him that I want a divorce."

Y/N grinned widely right away. "That's great, I'll have a chance once you become single again."

Jisso chided, "Don't talk nonsense. He opposed against it, claiming that the Kim Family needs a Young Madam like me."

Hah...

'That's what men are like, they insist on tying women down and keeping them by their side even if they don't have feelings for them.'

'Who spoiled Seokjin to such an extent? If Doggy Taehyung learns from him and does the same thing, I'll definitely castrate him!'

Y/N hadn't realized that she had begun to subconsciously and habitually compare all men to Taehyung.

"It's fine, you can appeal for a divorce after two years of separation. Jisso, just start living separately from Seokjin from today onwards."

Jisso shook her head and said, "Y/N, you don't understand, our two families are in a business alliance that's held together by our marriage. Grandpa may not live with us but he has eyes everywhere. Unless Seokjin agrees to the divorce, I won't be able to file for one myself."

Y/N was baffled. "Huh?"

'Doesn't that mean that Seokjin is my greatest obstruction?'

"It's okay," Y/N said, rolling up her sleeves. "I'll beat him up until he agrees to it."

"Y/N...you're Taehyung's wife and Second Young Madam Kim after all. You'd better pay more attention to your image, don't keep threatening to beat others up all the time. The wives of other wealthy men are going to gossip about you if they ever find out."

Y/N shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you a secret."

She winked at Jisso mysteriously, which indeed, piqued Jisso's interest. "What secret?"

"I was acting as myself in the film, Female Fortress Leader. In fact, I am a female bandit and have been ever since I was a young child. Apart from learning to do whatever it takes to sustain a livelihood and make ends meet, what I have learned most as a bandit is to keep myself out of harm's way by becoming stronger. I can bully others, but no one can bully me."

Jisso looked at her for a long time before saying with a gentle smile, "Okay, I know you are comforting me, your temper is indeed quite similar to that of a female bandit. No wonder you're so likable."

Y/N was a little upset because she was telling the truth. Unfortunately, there are no longer bandits in this era, only pirates. 'I can't possibly become a pirate, can I?'

"Has Taehyung gone to work again?" Jisso asked, changing the subject.

Y/N humphed softly. "Who knows? Jisso, why don't we go shopping in the mall owned by Taehyung? I'll inform him, he'll definitely serve us."

Jisso chuckled in amusement. "There's only two of us, what's the fun in shopping together?"

"How about we go on a blind date? I know a few handsome men, they're quite a good catch."

"Y/N, are you asking me to cheat on my husband?"

Y/N rolled her eyes. 'Seokjin has long been unfaithful to you, what are you afraid of? Jisso is too gentle and meek.'

Y/N thought about it for a long time and her eyes lit up all of a sudden. 'I do have a great idea of where we can go.'

After giving Kai a call, Y/N grinned widely from ear to ear when hanging up.

"Jisso, I recently found a suitable place to make money. I mean, a huge load of money. Are you interested in going with me to take a look?"

Jisso said with some curiosity, "It's the holidays, is there any place that is open?"

"It has never been closed, and it's best to make a windfall on such an occasion."

Y/N was overwhelmed with excitement and couldn't wait to leave. "I'll go get changed."

When she appeared again, Y/N was already wearing a beautiful white trench coat with her long, black hair open. She was holding the mask that Kai bought for her the other day.

"Let's go, Jisso, it's really fun there. It's Heaven on earth."

When they arrived at the entrance of the club, Kai, who had been loitering outside, suddenly remembered that Yoongi seemed to be present too and was intending to book the entire club.

He quickly called Y/N but no one picked up.

"Damn it, Second Sister-in-law will be inviting trouble if she goes," said Kai who was no longer interested in the gorgeous women around him and instead hurriedly gave Taehyung a call to ask him to come over.

Jisso looked at the building in front of her and finally realized what kind of place Y/N had brought her to.

"Y/N, this is a sordid place, we'd better not go in."

Y/N pulled Jisso who was about to leave and said, "It's just a place full of rich kids who have no idea where else to spend their truckload of money. What's so sordid about it? Jisso, I brought you here to have some fun."

Y/N was almost pulling Jisso in by force.

As soon as Y/N headed upstairs, she put on a mask and puffed her chest up a little, looking extremely dignified.

"What are you wearing a mask for?"

"I'm an actress, after all, it'd be really awkward if someone recognizes me."

Y/N took Jisso to the top floor with ease, and as Kai said, it was much livelier inside than it was during the last time she came.

Moreover, this time, the tables and chairs were moved to the side, leaving a large area in the middle empty. There were also several arrow targets placed on empty land.

'This is...'

Y/N raised her eyebrows and wondered, 'Is there going to be an archery contest today? What a coincidence.'

Y/N's performance the last time she came here was still fresh in the memory of those who were present at that time and it would remain unforgettable for the rest of their lives.

Everyone was taken aback when they saw the familiar mask at first glance.

Soon, some people recognized Jisso who was beside Y/N, and came forward to greet her.

"You must be Young Madam Kim. You're getting prettier and prettier."

"Young Madam Kim, please relay my regards to Young Master Seokjin."

"You must be Second Young Madam Kim, I've seen this mask before. Even till now, I can't forget your valiance."

"..."

More and more people came to greet Y/N in a bid to strike a conversation with her after recognizing who she was.

Naturally, many of them hadn't witnessed Y/N's exciting performance the last time she was there.

The Kim family was an ultra-rich family that was also rather mysterious. Besides, the impression that most people had of Taehyung was that he was cold, aloof, and enigmatic. Many also felt that he wasn't actually in a loving relationship with Y/N at all even though they were married.

Being in the same circle, they were very clear of such matters.

"Jisso is from a wealthy family herself so there's nothing wrong with buttering her up but I really don't understand why some people bother sucking up to Second Young Madam Kim."

"Exactly. Miss Min is so compatible with Mr. Taehyung. This woman just shamelessly came in between them."

"Don't worry, sooner or later, Mr. Kim will abandon her."

The people who spoke were a few socialites who obviously had a good relationship with Taehyung's childhood sweetheart.

Y/N looked up and memorized their faces without responding to them.

In the club's VIP lounge, Yoongi was holding onto some beef jerky with a Tibetan mastiff in front of him. It was wagging its tail and staring at the jerky with its tongue out.

Suddenly, the door of the lounge was pushed open. The person who entered first bowed to Yoongi before saying respectfully, "Mr. Min, Young Madam Kim, and Second Young Madam Kim are both here. Do you..."

He casually flung the jerky away and the Tibetan mastiff darted over to catch it in time. It then chowed down on the jerky delightfully.

"If I remember correctly, the program for today is an archery competition, isn't it?"

"Yes, Mr. Min."

Yoongi said with a sinister smile, "Go inform them that the rules today shall be based on a betting system too. Betters can choose the candidates they would like to bet on and the prize money must not be less than one million."

"Yes, Mr. Min, I'll get to it immediately."

Y/N and Jisso had just found a seat when they happened to hear the news, which immediately aroused their interest.

Simply put. the owner of the club will not spend a penny this time and the guests present shall decide who to bet on as the winner.

The prize money will be provided by the guests themselves and the sum must not be less than one million...

'The owner of this club is quite good at running a business, I have to learn from him,' Y/N thought.

She scanned her surroundings and was about to ask Jisso which one of the guests present was dressed the most ostentatiously when a staff member suddenly walked over.

"Second Young Madam Kim, my master would like for you to have a bet with him."

Y/N asked with confusion, "Who's your master?"

"Mr. Min Yoongi, the permanent vice president of The Federation."

'The Federation?'

Y/N raised her brows. She had heard of that place before and knew that it was really impressive because it was under the direct management of the state.

However...

"Have I seen you somewhere before?"

The person who spoke to her secretly wiped his cold sweat off his face. 'You've even insulted Mr. Min in front of me before.'

Y/N blinked and abruptly snapped her fingers. "I remember you, you're the follower of that psychopath, right?"

"Ahem, please mind your words, Second Young Madam Kim. If you dare to accept the challenge, half of the sales of our clubhouse for the whole of today will be given to you in the case that you win."

"How much money would that be?"

"Today is quite a special day, probably millions."

'Half the share of the profits would amount to millions?'

Y/N's eyes instantly lit up. "I'll take it on!"

When Jisso heard those words, she hurriedly tugged Y/N's sleeve and said, "Y/N, you don't know a thing about archery, you mustn't agree to it. I do know Mr. Min, I'll talk to him for you."

"There's nothing to talk about, I agreed to it."

'We're talking about more than a million Won. It doesn't make sense to turn down free money.'

"Second Young Madam Kim, aren't you curious about the consequences of losing?"

She was on someone else's territory after all and it wouldn't be good to be too arrogant. Hence, Y/N coughed a few times and said perfunctorily, "Tell me then, what happens if I lose?"

"If you lose, you must divorce Mr. Kim, and leave this city forever."

Everyone got into an uproar and looked at Y/N.

'That's such a terrifying condition. This woman must be out of her mind if she agrees to it.'

Besides, the Kim Family definitely wasn't short of a few million Won.

However, if she divorced Taehyung, it would mean that she would no longer be married into a wealthy family.

"Oh, I see, alright, I'll do it!"

Everyone looked at Y/N bizarrely.

"See, I told you this woman definitely isn't in a loving relationship with Mr. Kim, unlike what the rumors say. If she truly loves him, how can she possibly agree to such unfair terms for a few million Won?"

"Hah, she's overly confident. Let's just wait and see her make a fool out of herself. I reckon Mr. Min is deliberately making things hard for her, all for his sister's sake."

"Do-hee is so outstanding, this woman can't hold a candle to her at all."

"..."

Seeing that Y/N was about to sign the agreement, Jisso immediately stopped her. "Y/N, are you crazy? We can't take part in this bet, have you ever thought about how angry Taehyung would be when he finds out?"

'Will he get angry? I doubt it. Besides, who said I'll definitely lose?'

Y/N shot Jisso a comforting glance and signed her name resolutely without hesitating.

Her signature was neat and beautiful, a stark contrast to her roguish aura and bandit-like mannerisms.

"Second Young Madam Kim, who do you think will win the archery competition this time?"

Y/N slightly raised her chin and pointed at herself very proudly. "Me."

"Huh?"

"I'm going to participate in the archery competition, I'll bet that I'll win."

As soon as she said that, the crowd laughed and jeered at her.

The staff looked at Y/N with bizarre expressions too. He had no choice but to admire her courage.

'Does she really think that archery is just like fighting? Does she think she can easily win by brute force?'

As soon as the staff left, Y/N stretched her muscles and stood up to walk towards the middle of the venue. She casually picked up a random bow and said, "It's quite heavy, the material is of good quality."

"Hah, she seems quite professional."

"Don't jump to conclusions first, guys. I remember very clearly how Second Young Madam Kim managed to defeat her contenders with her incredible combat skills the other time."

"Save it, a fight is different from sports like archery. besides, many of the contenders this time are professional archers."

Y/N had a sharp sense of hearing so she heard everything they said. She turned around and smiled at Jisso.

'These people have no idea that bandits of the ancient era are best at archery, especially when riding horses. Moreover, I'm a fortress leader! Seriously, I'm actually even better at archery than fighting.'

'I didn't train hard and go through all that suffering since I was a kid, for nothing! Yoongi is bent on making me leave Taehyung, huh? I'll show you what I'm made of today.'

"Y/N!" Jisso frantically tried to stop her.

"Jisso, you have to learn to trust me." Y/N said confidently, "I bet I win."

Yoongi felt that Taehyung had married a dimwit.

He watched Y/N sign her name with mockery and contempt in his eyes, thinking to himself that she could never compare to his younger sister, Min Do-hee.

The competition officially began. There were a total of twelve participants. Apart from Y/N, there were scions who were good in archery, as well as professional archers.

The people there all seemed very excited as they were waiting to see Y/N make a fool out of herself.

Those seated at the front performed well, the most outstanding of whom was a Eurasian man who was also a professional archer.

When it was Y/N's turn, the people present wanted to take their cell phones to film the next scene but unfortunately, they were prohibited from doing so, in accordance with the rules.

"Y/N, are you really sure you can do it?" Jisso asked worriedly.

Y/N winked at her and stretched her back. "Jisso, just wait for my victory."

The majority of the people there were wealthy heirs and heiresses. The big bosses and wives of wealthy men who were there the last time were absent today. Otherwise, they would have definitely placed their bets on Y/N.

Y/N was considered young among the crowd that was present but her composure and fearlessness made her stand out from the frivolous and pompous heirs of wealthy families.

She casually picked up the bow and arrow and weighed them in her hand. "You don't have anything heavier than this?"

The staff member actually despised her too but he had no choice except to be polite and respectful to her due to her status. "Second Young Madam Kim, this bow is strictly for ladies, it's considered the heaviest one of its class. You..."

"I told you to bring me a heavier one. Cut the crap. Isn't your service motto to prioritize the requests of customers?" Y/N chided with a frown.

The gossipy heirs and heiresses began mocking her again. "She's probably gotten really complacent and arrogant after defeating those guys the last time she was here. But archery is different from fighting."

"I just think you guys are exaggerating, I don't believe she is really that good."

"Just wait and see. Does this woman have any common sense or not? The bow is too heavy, I doubt she can even pull the string later."

There were more and more voices of mockery but Y/N did not waver and instead stood still proudly with confidence.

The staff member soon returned with another beautiful bow that was much heavier than the one Y/N picked up just now.

She casually drew an arrow and put it on the string. Just as she was about to pull it, she suddenly stopped.

Y/N cleared her throat and said, "If I win, I want all of you to call me Queen."

"Why?"

"You're so arrogant, huh?"

"Even Mr. Kim dislikes you, do you really think you're such a big deal?"

Everyone began clapping back at her in disgruntlement.

Y/N raised her eyebrows and smirked. "Can't afford to lose? Or are you guys afraid?"

"What a joke, why would we be afraid? Fine, I agree. Hmph, if you can win I will not only call you Queen, I will become your slave too."

"Me too!"

"I'll bet you'll lose!"

'A bunch of fools.'

Y/N said with great arrogance, "I'll hold you to your word. Shall we do something exciting?"

She pointed to the arrow target and said, "Let's do this blindfolded, I'll listen to the sound to distinguish the position of the target. Those who strike bull's eye the most number of times will win."

As soon as she said that, everyone stared at Y/N like she was a fool.

'Distinguish the position of the target by sound?'

'Does she really take herself to be the heroic female protagonist of a martial arts novel?'

'She's not an expert and yet she wants to pull such a trick. How ridiculous.'

The Eurasian man clearly looked down on Y/N. When he heard what she said, he rebuked with a look of displeasure, "This is not child's play, Second Young Madam Kim, do you know what you are saying?"

Y/N nodded and said, "Of course, I like to have a quick battle. I shall begin first. Go ahead and challenge me if you think you can beat me."

After saying that, Y/N ordered the staff to bring a blindfold.

Seeing that she was serious about it, everyone craned their necks, eagerly waiting to see Y/N embarrass herself.

They felt that she was pretty stupid and if she lost, she would not only be embarrassing herself, but she would also be a disgrace to the Kim Family.

'Why isn't Jisso taking her in hand?'

God knows how worried Jisso is now.

She could tell from Kai and Jennie's comments about Y/N, that the latter was very good at fighting.

However, that didn't mean that she was proficient in every single sport!

Besides, she would be shooting an arrow blindfolded. If she ends up injuring someone by mistake...

Y/N had already put on the blindfold, and everyone watched as she placed the arrow back on the bow. On the other hand, a staff member had already walked towards the target to adjust it.

Whoosh——

With a whistling sound, the arrow darted forward immediately as Y/N released her grip on the string.

Everyone stared at the arrow that left the bowstring and soon vanished without a trace.

With a loud thud, the arrow struck the target.

It was bull's eye.

After a few seconds of silence, everyone inhaled sharply.

Everyone was stunned.

"Damn it! She can do that too?"

"It must be luck. She must have gotten lucky, I don't believe she's really that good!"

"She has to shoot three arrows. Let's just wait and see, she'll definitely fail."

Y/N had already placed the second bow on the string while the staff member had just adjusted the target again. She launched the arrow without hesitating at all.

Whoosh

Bull's eye again.

"Damn... I concede defeat. This woman is really something, no wonder she can marry Taehyung."

"She can fight and is good at archery. Did she come from ancient times? How is she so good at it?"

Y/N shot the third arrow without even waiting for the staff to adjust the target.

"Okay, you guys can begin."

After taking off the blindfold, Y/N looked at the people around her smilingly.

The eleven of them felt extremely frustrated because they didn't even get the chance to showcase their abilities.

They admitted that they couldn't hit bull's eye blindfolded every single time.

No one expected that the winner would be decided so quickly.

Y/N returned to her seat and winked at Jisso playfully while many rich heirs looked at her with admiration.

Naturally, almost all of them were men.

"Jisso, I did well, didn't I?"

Jisso couldn't help but give Y/N a thumbs-up. "Y/N, you're really something."

'No wonder she can conquer such a withdrawn man like Taehyung.'

'No wonder Grandpa insisted that Y/N marry Taehyung despite knowing that she didn't come from a good background.'

'Y/N really didn't inherit her parents' bad habits at all.'

Y/N drank a mouthful of water and suddenly looked at the people around them. "Call me Queen."

"???"

"What? Didn't you guys say that you would call me Queen if I won? Why? You people are figures of the upper-class circle after all. Are you such sore losers?"

The rich who often prided themselves on their nobility hated being called sore losers the most.

"Queen."

"Queen..."

Y/N nodded with a smile, "Ah! I suddenly have so many disciples."

At this moment, the staff suddenly walked over and said, "Second Young Madam Kim, Mr. Min would like to see you."

Oh? That psychopath who covets Taehyung and is trying every possible way to break us up, is finally willing to show up!'

"Y/N, Mr. Min has a very bad temper that's much worse than Jungkook's... You..."

Y/N raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly, "Is there anyone in this world who is more ill-tempered than I am?"

Y/N had always been hot-tempered.

'Who spoiled these rich heirs and heiresses? They just come from wealthy families, what's the big deal? Once they get to Hell, they'll be nothing. They might even have to call me their senior.'

"Let's go, Jisso."

Jisso was just about to follow her and get up too but the staff suddenly stopped her. "I'm sorry, Young Madam Kim, Mr. Min only wants to see Second Young Madam Kim."

"Y/N..."

"It's okay, I'll go check it out."

'They can't possibly eat me up, can they?'

The staff member walked straight to the room at the end of the corridor together with Y/N.

"Second Young Madam Kim, please go in on your own."

After saying that, he hurriedly left.

'Strange.'

Y/N rolled her eyes and pushed the door open, after which the faint smell of tobacco instantly wafted up to her nose. Y/N crinkled her nose and entered, only to see a man standing right in front of the window.

He was wearing a well-trimmed suit and had his back to her. She could tell from his straight and taut back that he was probably a handsome hunk.

'He probably has a unique hobby.'

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Y/N said as she found a random seat to sit down on.

The man turned around and stared at Y/N, full of disdain towards her roguish appearance.

When Y/N saw his face, she smiled and said, "Oh, he's really a hunk."

"Miss Y/N, I think you already know who I am," Yoongi said as he walked past Y/N and sat down behind the desk. "I'm Yoongi, Mr. Kim's friend."

"Oh, okay, now give it to me," Y/N said, reaching her hand out towards Yoongi after giving a perfunctory reply.

Staring at her fair palm, Yoongi asked with confusion in his eyes, "What?"

"Money. Didn't you say that you'd give me half of today's sales profits that you won today?"

"Miss Y/N, you seem to like money a lot," Yoongi said with a contemptuous smile.

"Bullshit. I was born for the sake of making money. So, do you think I like money or not?"

Yoongi nodded and said, "You do make sense. I'll tell you straight, Miss Y/N, you're not suitable for Mr. Kim."

'You're making sound like you are suitable for him.'

Y/N chuckled with an insincere smile. "So?"

"Miss Y/N, as long as you take the initiative to file for a divorce and leave the Kim Family as well as South Korea, I can let you develop int the overseas entertainment industry. You'll do even better than you're doing here."

At this point, Yoongi paused and said, "That's not all. How about another 10 million dollars in addition to half of today's sales proceeds?"

"Haha..." Y/N laughed derisively but her smile faded a moment later. She said with a straight face, "Ten billion Won, no bargaining. Take it or leave it."

Yoongi's gaze turned gloomy and he said with a cold and hostile expression, "Miss Y/N, don't take things too far."

"Don't take things too far?" Y/N sneered. "There are only two possible reasons why you'd want me to leave Taehyung. It's either you've taken a fancy to Taehyung and want to be together with him, or you're trying to help your sister get rid of me so that she can be with Taehyung. Regardless of which, you'll be getting the better end of the deal."

'She thinks I want to be together with Taehyung?' Yoongi's face turned sullen.

"Mr. Min, you should know how much Taehyung is worth. You're also very clear what benefits your family will get once you and Taehyung get together."

Yoongi drank a mouthful of water and said, "Miss Y/N, if you're not Second Young Madam Kim, I might admire you."

Y/N said with a faint smile, "What a coincidence, Mr. Min. If you're not human, I might admire you greatly too."

Yoongi stared at Y/N and suddenly smirked before saying with disdain, "Miss Y/N, you're the first person I've met who has the guts to talk to me like this. Do you really don't want to make a living in the entertainment industry anymore?"

'He's threatening me, huh?'

Y/N's smile got more and more tender. "Mr. Min, you probably don't know that the last person who threatened me with the same tone of voice that you just spoke to me with, has already been subdued my me and become my underling now."

Yoongi surprisingly wasn't angered.

'This woman is indeed very interesting. Unfortunately, she's my younger sister's love rival, so don't blame me for being unkind.'

"You're quite arrogant, huh? Miss Y/N, I advise you to take the money and leave quickly before I lose my temper."

"Same to you."

'I've lived for a lifetime before this after all. How can I cave in to a mere threat like this?'

"I said, if your sister really has what it takes to win Taehyung's heart, she won't need you to intervene and help her with it. Clearly, Taehyung doesn't like her, be it in the past or present." As she spoke, Y/N ran her fingers through her hair to push her hair away from her forehead. "Mr. Min, you belong to a prestigious family, after all. Yet, you're doing such a degrading thing. Seems like your sister probably isn't any better."

Yoongi was known for being an overprotective brother who pampered his younger sister to no end. Hearing her words, he flew into a rage and suddenly smacked his hand against the table. He squinted and said, "Y/N, don't go too far. Who are you to comment about my sister?"

'What an abominable woman.'

"You're just being all cocky because you're Taehyung's current wife. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you can fight. We're living in a modern society and it'd be a piece of cake for me to destroy your reputation to the point that you can't even make a living."

'How can a decent-looking man like him be so abhorrent?'

Y/N looked at Yoongi with a straight face. "Mr. Min, has anyone ever told you that you are quite narcissistic?"

Yoongi looked extremely displeased.

"I guess no one has told you that. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so narcissistic, so, I shall be the one to tell you now." She continued with a narcissistic smile, "Whatever you have up your sleeve, bring it on. If I chicken out, I'll kneel down and call you my ancestor."

She raised her chin slightly and said in an arrogant tone. Yoongi couldn't help but subconsciously be reminded of Jungkook when he saw he roguish behavior.

He realized that the two of them were somewhat similar.

"I'm really curious about why an ultra-rich and prestigious family like the Kims would approve of a distasteful boor like you."

'Distasteful boor?'

Y/N rested one hand on the back of the sofa, crossed one leg over the other, and shook it nonchalantly. "Don't expect a bandit to be cultured. You should feel lucky that I didn't wreck your place."

'Bandit?'

Hah...

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open. The figure in front of Y/N moved and the next thing she knew, she had already been pulled up from the sofa forcefully.

Looking at the tall and muscular man in front of her, she asked in shock, "Kim... Taehyung, what are you doing here?"

Taehyung didn't answer her and instead stared at Yoongi coldly. "Mr. Min, my dear wife is very timid and she can't take any frights. If you want to meet her in the future, please inform me beforehand."

'Timid? Can't take frights?'

Recalling the things Y/N had done and the way she behaved, Yoongi couldn't help but smirk mirthlessly.

'I didn't think there would be a day where Taehyung would lie through his teeth.'

"Are you sure you want to abandon my sister?"

"How can I abandon her if we've never been together?" Taehyung took Y/N's hand and said, "By the way, my wife is very hot-tempered, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance if she takes revenge on you in the future."

After saying that, he pulled Y/N away without even giving Yoongi a chance to reply.

Y/N stared straight at her hand that Taehyung was holding before turning behind to look at Yoongi who had a gloomy expression.

"Mr. Min, I didn't feel much about your sister at first but now I suddenly feel a strong urge to bully her and remind her to be careful."

'Y/N, you wretched woman!'

Yoongi frowned slightly. He would never allow anyone to hurt Do-hee.

After leaving the club, Taehyung shoved Y/N into the car somewhat roughly and got in from the other side. He then instructed Assistant Wen to start driving.

Y/N ignored his austere aura and looked at Assistant Wen sympathetically. "Assistant Wen, it must be hard on you, you still have to work on a holiday. Get your boss to increase your wages later."

Assistant Wen coughed twice, not daring to say anything.

"Darling, you seem to like coming here very much."

Taehyung suddenly said in a cold and indifferent tone.

"Well, it's a good place for earning easy money."

At the very least, she had earned quite a considerable amount of money each of the two times she had been there.

"Darling, the Kim family isn't short of that money."

Y/N glanced at him and said, "But I am."

The path to earning money is endless and you can never have too much money. Since she wanted to be rich and rebuild Black Clouds Fortress, she would have to keep working hard.

She wasn't expecting to become the richest in the world but she thought it would be possible to be the richest in the city.

Taehyung pursed his lips and looked at her mysteriously.

Y/N touched the tip of her nose and asked, "Where's Jisso?"

"She has been sent home."

"Are you almost recovered?"

"Far from that."

"Is that so? Let me give it a try then."

After saying that, Y/N suddenly leaned over without giving Taehyung the chance to react. She then reached her arm out and propped herself against the door beside him. Gradually moving her red lips against his thin lips, she said, "Mr. Kim, you look particularly handsome today. Can I kiss you?"

Taehyung's pupils flickered but he didn't resist.

Assistant Wen, who was driving, begun chanting a mantra to calm himself down several times.

'Oh dear, why am I always the one being forced to watch them display their affection for each other?'

Y/N really felt the urge to do so.

She felt that Taehyung was really dashing when he suddenly appeared in Yoongi's office and protected her.

She had always been the one protecting others, be it men or women.

This was the first time that someone had defended her.

She really liked the feeling of being protected and began to find herself becoming more and more attached to him.

'Actually, it's not too bad being Second Young Madam Kim after all. I have lots of money to spend, get to enjoy a prestigious status, and have a handsome husband too.'

Sensing the warmth that was radiating from her lips, Taehyung suddenly reached out and placed his hand on the back of her head to kiss her just as she was about to pull away.

The narrow space in the car was filled with a romantic aura and Assistant Wen tried his best to keep his eyes fixed on the road in front of him.

'See no evil, hear no evil.'

'Mr. Kim must give me a raise.'

'Not only did he physically abuse me, he's subjecting me to such mental torture too.'

'I really want to get a girlfriend!'

While the passionate act of intimacy was going on in the backseat, Assistant Wen quietly wiped his tears.

'Forget it, as long as Mr. Kim is happy. After all, he's been single for almost 30 years, he can finally enjoy the feeling of being in love.'

Y/N realized that she had begun to like Taehyung more and more.

She pushed him away reluctantly and deliberately licked the corner of her lips. "Mr. Kim..."

She reached out and tugged on his tie, almost leaning against his body. They were now engaged in an extremely intimate position.

"Are you starting to become less repulsed by me?"

Taehyung's gaze became a little dim. Instead of being repulsed by her, he wanted to get closer to her.

"Mr. Kim, since it's the Lunar New Year, shall we get it on tonight..."

Assistant Wen shivered and quickly put on his headphones.

Taehyung pushed her away with a straight face. "Darling, your libido is too high."

'My libido is too high? Is he trying to say I'm sexually frustrated?' Y/N thought to herself sullenly.

"Doggy Taehyung, what do you mean? If you don't want to let me sleep with you, just say so, don't give me such lame excuses."

Y/N folded her arms and glared at Taehyung in disdain. "There are lots of men who want to sleep with me, like Jimin and Jungkook. None of them are inferior to you, at most, I'll..."

Before she could finish speaking, Taehyung suddenly cupped her cheeks and kissed her again.

'Damn it, Doggy Taehyung!'

Y/N clenched her fists angrily.

Kai was already aware of what Y/N was doing in the club a long time ago. When he heard his friend's description over the phone, he was full of admiration for Y/N.

'Why didn't anyone tell me that Second Sister-in-law is so good at archery?'

'Wow, seems like she had really been merciful to me back then.'

Touching his butt that had vaguely began to hurt, Kai secretly swore that he would never offend Y/N again.

Jennie looking at Jisso's designs attentively.

"Jisso, can I work as your assistant at your studio after I graduate?" Jennie rubbed her hands and continued, "To be honest with you, I've always dreamed of being a fashion designer since I was a kid."

Jisso didn't turn her down and instead answered gently, "Of course, you may. Jennie, you have a good aesthetic sense, you can be the purchaser of our company."

Jennie had attended numerous fashion shows of large fashion shows during the international fashion weeks over the years. Hence, she could more or less deduce which types of design and fabric would be in trend the next season.

After all, as the heiress of a rich family, she had been exposed to the world of high fashion since she was a young age and knew plenty about fashion.

Jennie nodded profusely. "Sure, I'll have a valid reason to turn Grandpa down then, lest he keeps urging me to learn finance."

'Why do all the elders of families that own large businesses, tend to urge their children to learn finance and business management? Second Brother is obviously going to inherit the company anyway."

Jisso patted Jennie on her arm and said, "Okay, Grandpa is doing it for your own good. Enjoy your youth while you're still young. I'm afraid in another two years, you won't be able to escape the matchmaking sessions that Grandpa sets you up for."

The most dreaded thing for Jennie was matchmaking.

She had heard many horror stories from her best friends who had been forced by their families to go on blind dates with men who turned out to be complete weirdos.

Suddenly, Y/N's pleasant voice rang out from the doorway, "Sister-in-law I'm back!"

Immediately afterwards, a slender figure leaped towards them.

Jisso sighed helplessly and said, "Taehyung is around, stop being so playful."

"What can he do to me?" Y/N offered a fiery red rose that she had picked from the garden, to Jisso like it was a flower. There was some dew on the petals, making it look especially beautiful.

"Jisso, the moment I saw this stalk of rose, I thought that it was really beautiful and you're the only person who deserves it."

Jennie, who was at the side, looked at Jisso with some envy.

'Second Sister-in-law has never been so nice to me before.'

'She treats me like a slave all the time. Are the mistakes I made in the past, really unforgivable?'

Y/N noticed Jennie's expression and gave it some thought before taking out the remaining half of the chocolate block that she had eaten just now, from the pocket of her jacket. "There you go, it's for you."

Jennie immediately grinned widely without any disdain. She took the chocolate block and stuffed it into her mouth immediately. "Second Sister-in-law, the chocolate is delicious."

'This girl is so easily satisfied.'

Kim Jae Wook returned to his island on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

He didn't like the polluted air in the city and his grandchildren would often get on his nerves.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to earnestly urge both his granddaughters-in-law to have a baby as soon as possible.

Well, he was waiting for someone to inherit his island.

Y/N secretly glanced at Kai and thought, 'The island has long become mine because Kai's son has already agreed to give it to me.'

Y/N planned to expand her acting career after the Lunar New Year holiday. The national film festival was to be held in a month's time and the film 'Female Fortress Leader' was shortlisted for an award while Y/N had was nominated for the 'Best Newcomer' award.

Y/N also planned to invest in another film in the name of 'Second Young Madam Kim' and star in it herself. She decided that apart from herself, the rest of the cast was to be composed of newbies.

After drafting a plan, the next step would be to rope Taehyung in for the investment.

"Mr. Kim, I know of a great investment plan, do you want to give it a try?"

Taehyung already knew what she was planning to do.

"Darling, I can afford to provide for you."

"But I can't afford to provide for myself!"

Taehyung looked at her in surprise.

Y/N didn't seem shy at all. 'I'll have thousands of underlings to feed in the future.'

"What kind of movie do you intend to produce?"

"A romance flick that revolves around unrequited love and star-crossed lovers who are infatuated with each other but remain in an on-off relationship. That's one of the most popular themes..."

Before she even finished, Taehyung suddenly stood up and said coldly, "I'm not going to invest in that. I'll head to the office now."

"???"

'Doggy Taehyung, you're so stingy!'

She had even thought of a storyline for the movie but Taehyung just had to be a wet blanket.

Y/N stomped her feet angrily and her cell phone happened to ring at this moment.

She picked it up and hollered furiously, "Get straight to the point, I'm busy!"

The person who called was clearly stunned. After a long time, she said timidly, "Y/...Y/N, it's me, Tzuyu. Can you...come accompany me?"

Y/N asked with raised eyebrows, "Huh?"

"My aunt insists on introducing me to a guy, I couldn't refuse so I had to meet him."

'Tzuyu has gone on a blind date?'

Y/N sat up straight and said, "What does he look like?"

"I don't know, he hasn't arrived yet but I heard that he works as a manager in a government-owned enterprise and he's very cultured. He doesn't know that I'm a mother of one yet. Y/N, I..."

"Give me the address, I'll come right over."

Although we're now living in a modern society, many women tend to still face criticism for having children out of wedlock.

Besides, the blind dates arranged by a relative would often end badly.

Tzuyu was a very pure, innocent, and gullible girl who would get bullied easily. In case she gets bullied this time, who would stand up for her if she was alone?

Tzuyu had no idea what Y/N was thinking but she quickly sent her address to Y/N.

The place was quite far from the Kim family estate.

"Okay, if he bullies you, just retaliate. You can splash water at him or smash a cup at him. Whatever you do, I'll back you up."

Amused by her words, Tzuyu said, "Y/N, it's not that dramatic."

"It can be."

She headed upstairs and casually grabbed a jacket. After thinking about it, Y/N changed her mind and carefully picked out a suit that had a conspicuous brand logo.

'Make myself look rich and impressive? I'm best at that. I have to be prepared in case that man turns out to be a snob.'

By the time Y/N arrived, Tzuyu had already begun chatting with her blind date.

The man was an ugly and chubby man who seemed to be balding.

"Tzuyu."

As soon as she heard Y/N's voice, Tzuyu felt as if she had seen her savior. She quickly turned around and waved at Y/N. "Y/N, I'm here, quick, come take a seat."

When the man saw Y/N, a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes and he grinned especially widely when he saw the brand logo of her clothes and purse.

"I'm late, I didn't disturb you guys, did I?"

Y/N sat down beside Tzuyu and picked up the menu to start ordering some dishes, completely ignoring the man seated across from them.

Y/N was an actress after all. Besides, she had been living with the Kim Family for a long time now, so her noble aura and pretty face definitely wouldn't go unnoticed.

Tzuyu considerately asked Y/N to sit inside, lest she gets recognized by her fans. "No, you're not disturbing us at all. Y/N, his name is Wang Heng."

Only then did Y/N nod at Wang Heng and acknowledged his presence. "Hello."

Wang Heng coughed and stretched out his somewhat chubby hand before saying, "Hey, I'm Wang Heng, the current financial manager of the headquarters of the Min Corporation. You should have heard about the Min Corporation, right? It belongs to the Min Family, which is one of the few top richest families in the city."

'So what if you're the financial manager? Do you think you're a big deal? I'm the wife of the CEO of Kim Group!'

Y/N did not shake hands with Wang Heng. Instead, she picked up some fruit and began eating it. "You must be Tzuyu's date for today, huh? What do you think of Tzuyu?"

Wang Heng looked at his hand, which had stiffened in midair. He then turned to look at Y/N again, thinking that she was just trying to play hard to get.

'I'm well-educated, have a good job, and the perfect man that many parents want their daughters to marry! Beautiful women these days tend to be more materialistic and many of them are gold-diggers. I doubt this woman is an exception.'

"Yes, I'm Miss Chou's blind date. Miss Chou, how much do you make a month?" Wang Heng asked with both hands on the table, staring at Tzuyu seriously.

Tzuyu asked with a frown, "Does it really matter?"

"Of course it does. The income of a couple determines the future financial expenses and budget of the family. I hope that my wife can have some savings so that in the future, she can remain self-sufficient as a housewife and won't keep taking money from me."

'Is this man a weirdo? He's already thinking about marriage when he barely knows Tzuyu yet?'

Y/N frowned without saying anything as she merely turned to the side to look at Tzuyu.

Tzuyu was clearly displeased and she said in a cold voice, "About four to five grand."

"What? Only four to five grand?" Wang Heng was shocked. "We're living in a day and age where living expenses are high, what can you do with such a meager salary? You earn way lesser than I do, doesn't that mean that I'll have to provide for you in the future?"

"Mr. Wang, first of all, we are just on a simple blind date now and we haven't even decided to be in an exclusive relationship with each other. Why are you talking about the future? Secondly, I have always been self-sufficient and independent. I will never take money from a man."

Wang Heng ignored the first half of her sentence and said, "Okay then, my money is not meant for providing for women."

Y/N, who was at the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes as she was filled with disgust towards him.

"But Miss Chou, don't you work at a newspaper and magazine publishing house? You're an experienced senior journalist after all, why is your salary so low?"

Tzuyu had actually given him a number that was lower than her actual wage, just for the sake of angering him.

"Technology has become very advanced these days, most people prefer reading digital news to newspapers. It's good enough that I didn't have to take a pay cut."

Wang Heng turned to look at Y/N again and asked, "Miss Y/N, how much do you make a month?"

"Me?" Y/N sneered. "I'm sorry, I don't draw a monthly salary."

Well, she gets paid in a lump sum for every film or drama she stars in, as well as other endorsement deals and so on.

'She's not making any money? Does that mean she's a kept woman?'

Wang Heng was suddenly lost interest in Y/N.

He thought that she was a rich heiress.

In comparison, he felt that Tzuyu was a better choice. After all, she was a reporter of an established national news publisher who would bring him some glory.

"Miss Chou, I think you're quite a good girl. I currently own two apartments and a car. I'm 31 years old this year and divorced. All I expect from my future wife is to be a considerate, meticulous, virtuous, and dutiful housewife who will stay at home to take care of my children."

Y/N scratched the couch and felt an urge to hit someone.

"Also, I hope we can have a child soon."

Tzuyu snickered and said, "I have a five-year-old son."

As soon as she said that, Wang Heng stood up and looked at her in utter shock. "What? You have a child and you're still here for a blind date with me? You're a divorcée, aren't you?"

Tzuyu couldn't stand him any longer either. She snapped, "What a joke, you're making it sound as if you're not a divorcée yourself. Let me tell you straight, I don't like you as much as you despise me. If it wasn't because I didn't want to turn my relative down, I wouldn't have come here at all."

Wang Heng was furious. "Tzuyu, you've gone too far, you actually lied to me!"

With a loud smacking sound, Y/N stood up too. With one arm folded, she looked askance at Wang Heng and snapped, "You fatso, Tzuyu is such a gorgeous girl. It's your honor that she bothers showing up for a blind date with you. What's wrong with the fact that she has a son? You're jealous, aren't you? You're a divorcée but you're still childless."

Incredibly exasperated, Wang Heng pointed his trembling finger at Y/N and said, "You... You..."

He had always felt that since he was well-educated and had a high paying job, he ought to be a noble figure whom everyone should respect and look up to. Yet, Y/N and Tzuyu were blatantly insulting him now.

'One of them is earning a meager sum of four to five grand a month and the other doesn't even draw a salary. Who are they to insult me?'

The commotion got rather loud and many people around them began to pay attention to them. At this moment, a few female students walked over carefully, each holding a little journal in their hands.

Looking at Y/N, one of them asked nervously, "Are you Y/N?"

Y/N blinked and nodded in confusion. "Yes."

The female students' eyes suddenly lit up as they each got more excited than the other, "You're really Y/N! I am your little fangirl, I've been helping you clap back at Ji-eun and Yani when they were slandering you back then!"

"Me too, me too, Sister Y/N, I helped out a lot during the fireworks display for your birthday this year."

"Sister Y/N, I've also started to learn Taekwondo because my parents said that girls should be like you and learn some martial arts so that we won't be taken advantage of..."

They kept showering Y/N with compliments, making her feel a little shy.

"Sister Y/N, can we get an autograph from you?"

Y/N exchanged Tzuyu exchanged seats and said, "No problem, of course."

More and more people came over and many had already taken out their cell phones to take photos

Dumbfounded, Wang Heng stared at the scene in front of him and casually asked someone, "Who's this..."

"Huh? Are you not Sister Y/N's friend?"

"Sister Y/N?" Wang Heng laughed and said, "Haha, I'm on a blind date with her friend. Who is she?"

"She's a huge celebrity. She's one of the most famous actresses at the moment."

'Huge celebrity? That woman is a huge celebrity?'

'Doesn't that mean that she makes a ton of money?'

Wang Heng looked at Y/N and began to feel a little tempted.

'That's right, only a woman like her is worthy of me. She's pretty and she's an actress too. She's going to make me look so glorious, I can even show her off to my friends and family.'

The news of Y/N accompanying a friend to a blind date at a restaurant made it to the hot search list. At this moment, Y/N and Tzuyu had just left the restaurant and Wang Heng was tagging along behind them.

When Tzuyu excused herself to pick up a phone call, Wang Heng placed both hands in his pocket and tried his best to look more refined and noble. "Miss Y/N, I really didn't expect you to be a huge celebrity. I knew you had an extraordinary aura the moment I saw you."

Y/N smiled perfunctorily.

"Miss Y/N, may I ask if you have a boyfriend?"

Y/N was just about to say yes but she changed her might right when she was about to. "What does it have to do with you whether I have a boyfriend or not?"

"To be honest, Miss Y/N, you are totally my type. If you're still single, I want to court you."

'Court me?' Y/N raised her brows, feeling amused by how ridiculously confident Wang Heng was.

Even her fans wouldn't agree to it, let alone her.

Y/N turned around to see that her fan girls were still crowding around the entrance of the restaurant and craning their necks to peep in. With a conflicted gaze, Y/N waved at them.

"Babe, come over."

Everyone swarmed towards Y/N hysterically in an instant.

"Sister Y/N, is something wrong?"

"Sister Y/N, are you looking for us?"

"Sister Y/N, feel free to give us any instructions, we'll definitely carry them out well."

Y/N pointed to Wang Heng and said with an innocent smile, "That man, Mr. Wang, is here on a blind date with my friend. However, he keeps criticizing her and even said that he prefers me to her. He wants to pursue me, do you guys approve?"

As soon as Y/N said that, her fans immediately got extremely worked up and began lashing out at Wang Heng harshly.

"No, absolutely not! Sister Y/N is a great beauty of the entertainment industry, how can this swine be worthy of her?"

"Yes, yes, Sister Y/N has to marry a handsome man in the future. Who do you think you are? Take a look in the mirror and see for yourself how hideous you are."

Wang Heng had never been insulted and humiliated so badly before. He retorted with bloodshot eyes, "You people are just her fans, who are you to decide for her? I'm a manager at the Min Corporation and I draw a monthly wage of more than 100,000 Won. Why can't I pursue the person I adore?"

'Why do I keep running into weirdos?'

Y/N had to take her hat off to Wang Heng for having such great confidence. 'Who gave him the courage to be so narcissistic?'

"100,000 Won a month is nothing. Do you know that Jimin is wooing Sister Y/N too? Not to mention his income, even Sister Y/N's earnings from starring in a film is countless times more than what you make."

"Lecher, who are you to go on a blind date with Sister Y/N's friend and then criticize her before suddenly turning to court Sister Y/N?"

"Sister Y/N's best friend is so pretty and you have the guts to despise her. You must either be blind, or trying to use Sister Y/N for clout."

The limit to a woman's aggression is unimaginable, what more a bunch of women.

Wang Heng was being scolded so harshly that he was too powerless to retaliate.

Tzuyu happened to have just hung up the phone and walked over. Curious to see that there was such a huge commotion, she asked, "Y/N, what's the matter?"

"Oh, this man wants to court me so my fans are mobbing him."

Tzuyu took a step forward gloatingly and said loudly, "I've just spoken to my aunt over the phone. Wang Heng, I'm not interested in you. Also, you will never be fit enough to court Y/N in this lifetime. Hurry up and get lost, lunatic."

After saying that, she took Y/N's hand and said, "Y/N, let's go, he's such an eyesore."

Y/N looked at Tzuyu with great surprise. 'How is this timid little girl so sharp-tongued today? Indeed, people who hang out with me tend to get influenced by me and become more aggressive.'

Wang Heng had an incredibly sullen expression and he was just about to catch up to them but Y/N's fans had already surrounded her to protect her.

"Sister Y/N, get going, quickly. Leave this man to us."

"Yes, Sister Y/N, leave quickly, we won't let him get his filthy hands on you!"

"Sister Y/N, I'm forever your loyal supporter and guardian. I'm also a fan of the bandit couple."

Bandit couple referred to Y/N and Jimin.

"Babies, you guys are awesome today. Love you, muacks."

Y/N blew a kiss at them before turning around to leave without hesitation.
