The Grumpy Billionaire

Cha Mun-yeong is a top scholarship student of the Chaun Foundation, but she is constantly followed by degrading labels:

“Lee Won’s pet dog.””Lee Won’s maid.””Lee Won’s toy.”

These sharp words hurt, but Mun-yeong endured them. Without the help of the Chaun Group, she never could have dreamed of a normal life. However, whenever she faced Lee Won, the young heir of the Chaun Group, she began to regret her past choices. He was kind yet cold, and friendly yet distant.

“Do you want me to tell you why?” Mun-yeong finally let out the words stuck in her throat. “It’s just meanness.”

She was certain that his hurtful actions were nothing more than petty spite.

“Vice President, you are just being mean to me right now.”

“Meanness?” Lee Won chuckled as he repeated the word.

“If this emotion is just meanness, we have a big problem, Mun-yeong.”

It was the first time he had ever called her name so tenderly. But the smile on his face slowly vanished, replaced by a cold, piercing gaze.

“If this is just meanness… I don’t know how you’re going to handle what happens next.”

His eyes were filled with a raw desire she had never seen before.
