Chapter 162
The sudden phone inspection began.
Normally, such a thing would never be allowed—it was an invasion of privacy. Even if there was nothing to hide, it’s natural not to want others to see what’s on your phone, especially if it’s your partner.
However, Shia proposed the inspection without any hesitation. She had a single purpose: to unmask Alice in front of Yu-jin.
**[“Shia, aren’t you embarrassed? Yu-jin is... going to see it, you know?”]**
**[“Not at all. Unlike someone else, I’ve got nothing to hide.”]**
Shia was completely confident. The only hobby she indulged in on her phone was reading web novels.
Sure, it was a little embarrassing to reveal what she was reading... but it was mostly ordinary romance fantasy novels. Nothing weird.
Since she had a clear conscience, she didn’t have a problem with it.
"Go ahead and check. Start with mine. Check everything from messages to the gallery, and even the browser."@@@@
"S-Shia, the browser... that’s really personal..."
"Make sure to check the browser thoroughly. Look through each search history for anything unusual."
Thus began the inspection, with Shia herself pushing for it. Yu-jin’s hand reluctantly reached for her phone.
‘They’ve checked my phone plenty of times, but this is the first time I’m doing the opposite...’
- Tap tap.
"I’ll just check the browser history and skip the messages and gallery."
With those words, he opened the browser app. The search bar and previous search history were right in front of him.

‘Oh, Shia... this is heartbreaking...!!’
Yu-jin felt an overwhelming surge of sympathy.
His wife had been secretly hurt, researching country averages only to be struck by the reality of Western physiques. She looked up the “inconveniences” of a large chest as a form of mental comfort, then reassured herself that her size was above average in Korea... only to end up searching for ways to increase her chest size.
If that’s not a tragedy, what is?
He was nearly in tears, trembling as he processed it all.
"...?"
‘Why is he acting so strange?’
Of course, Shia had long forgotten about those searches. It was a moment of resilience, befitting the mental strength of a second-generation chaebol.
"Well, I guess there’s nothing unusual in the history. Let’s just stop here..."
"You just skimmed through it. Look properly! Check the entire history and even the frequently visited sites!"
The public inspection of her private affairs continued.
Confidently, she encouraged him to delve deeply, to savor the purity of her habits and uncover Alice’s hidden perversions.
**[Frequently Visited Websites]**
1.
2.
3. news.awakener...
‘Wow, there’s really nothing here.’
Just as Shia had claimed, there didn’t seem to be anything problematic. The most frequently visited site was for web novels, followed by a portal site and a news site for Awakeners.
Yu-jin was relieved.
‘I’ll just check out what web novels she’s reading. I mean, sharing hobbies with your wife is always good...’

"...?"
‘Why am I here?’
The relief didn’t last long.
Among the “romance fantasy” novels, there was one odd title. And it was a title that felt uncomfortably familiar.
Before he knew it, his finger had moved as if bewitched...
**[Title: The Hypnotist Matchmaker’s Second Chance]**

‘What in the...?’
Yu-jin felt like he was looking into the abyss.
Martial arts? Okay, fine. But sci-fi and cyberpunk? And it’s rated 19+?
"See? She’s into all sorts of weird things."
"Wait, so you’re into this too?"
"...What?"
The fire spread quickly.
The misunderstandings and wild accusations were well-fueled, and what followed... was predictable.

With some time, everyone settled down and finally had a productive conversation.
"So, you’re saying it was an accidental click?"
"Yeah! Sometimes they advertise these things on the site. I must have clicked by mistake."
"And the payment?"
"I’m Yu Shia. I pay for everything I might read, even if I don’t."
"I see."
The misunderstanding cleared up quickly. Shia explained that she hadn’t actually read *The Hypnotist Matchmaker.*
"Wait, Alice, was yours also from an ad?"
"Huh?"
"Your browser history showed something strange, full of weird ads and... terrifying comics. Check it out."
"W-what is this?!"
"Fox spirit, what on earth were you looking at? Ugh, that’s disgusting."
Alice, upon looking at her phone, was genuinely horrified. It wasn’t an act; even Shia was repulsed by what she saw.
Phew. So it was just an ad after all. Alice wasn’t into those things either.
With a sigh of relief, Yu-jin spoke up.
"Alright, both of you, be careful with ads. Don’t click on strange links, okay?"
"Yes..."
"Why do I have to be lumped in with her, anyway?"
"Come on, Shia. And watch out for your clothes, too."
"...
Enough with the looks already!"
Shia, clearly embarrassed, hurried to adjust her clothes.

After some peace was restored, they finally returned to the clan.
"Yu-jin, has the discussion concluded?"
"Yes. No more fighting, right?"
"Of course! Shia’s my friend now!"
"...I suppose we’re allies."
"Glad to hear it. Please continue to look after our Shia, Miss Alice."
"Of course~."
Thankfully, Shia’s father didn’t make a big deal out of it.
After taking a seat, Yu-jin spoke up slowly.
"Father, since we’re here, I have a request."
"Another one? If it’s about motels or anything of the sort—"
"No, it’s not that."
"Then what is it...?"
