“I missed you, Seol Hee.”
Even in that brief period. While you were coming here, I wanted to see you.
That’s what Eun Woo said.
Seol Hee’s lips parted slightly.
Of course, even though Eun Woo was cold and meticulous in business, he was originally a gentlemanly and soft man outside of work. But, he was never this affectionate. There was never this much overflowing love.
There was no man who ever looked at her like this. Only Seol Hee reflected entirely in his large eyes.
“Ah, ah…….”
Taken aback by his unusual appearance, Seol Hee was flustered for a moment, and Eun Woo lifted one corner of his mouth and laughed.
“I came first. You didn’t get lost because we couldn’t come together, did you?”
“…….”
“Don’t worry. We met well like this.”
And Eun Woo, with his long and sturdy arm, embraced Seol Hee’s shoulder. What in the world is happening? Before Seol Hee could figure out the situation, Eun Woo looked at Chan Jeong.
“Oh, who is this person?”
A cold voice dropping as if seeing him for the first time, ignoring him. Unlike a little while ago when he had looked at Seol Hee affectionately, he looked at Chan Jeong with a veiled sharp gaze.
Chan Jeong’s eyes widened in surprise, not expecting the real Eun Woo to come.
“……Did you really come?”
“Well, I told you I came with you.”
At Seol Hee’s words, Chan Jeong blinked. ‘But, but I thought it was a lie. It can’t be. You’re really dating?’ He repeated these words several times. Whether Chan Jeong did or not, Eun Woo was only looking at Seol Hee.
The atmosphere turned icy. Eventually, Chan Jeong, seemingly having sorted out his feelings, sighed loudly, and offered his hand to Eun Woo.
“Nice to see you again. I’m Chan Jeong.”
“…….”
“Don’t you remember? I am Seol Hee’s exboyfriend.”
His audacity was unspeakable. At Chan Jeong’s words, Seol Hee jumped.
“What are you talking about?”
Of course, it was true that Chan Jeong was her exboyfriend, but now they had nothing to do with each other.
It was absurd how shamelessly Chan Jeong spoke, as if talking about his job. Seol Hee’s face turned red and blue. However, Eun Woo’s expression did not change.
“I am Ok Eun Woo.”
Eun Woo lightly shook Chan Jeong’s hand and let go. He didn’t add any other words like Chan Jeong. With the hand he used to shake hands with Chan Jeong, Eun Woo immediately pulled Seol Hee close again.
“Seol Hee, shall we go in? Your friends are waiting.”
With a voice melting, Eun Woo’s red lips brushed Seol Hee’s earlobe. There was no need to mention such verbose words as ‘the person I’m meeting now’ or ‘I am the current boyfriend.’
The arm wrapped around Seol Hee’s shoulder, the close proximity, and even the term ‘honey.’ To anyone watching, Ok Eun Woo had claimed Yu Seol Hee.
While Chan Jeong was still in shock with his mouth open, Eun Woo led Seol Hee inside.
((()))((()))((()))
From Chan Jeong’s perspective, Yu Seol Hee should always have been ‘his.’
In the beginning, he dated Seol Hee in his freshman year at university. She was cute then as she is now, but apart from that, well, it wasn’t a fiery romance, it was lukewarm. The reason why he cheated with the team leader was that.
Everything was too flat.
He dated Seol Hee since college. If it had continued like that, he would have married Seol Hee without any problems. There was no dissatisfaction with her, but somehow, there was a lingering regret and suffocation. The woman who spoke to him then was the team leader.
“Chan Jeong, do you have time tonight?”
From the moment she approached him like that, Chan Jeong couldn’t push her away.
In fact, the team leader was not exactly Chan Jeong’s type. But, it wasn’t bad either. There were good things about being with her……
No, no. In fact, it’s all lies. It probably wouldn’t have mattered who it was. The thrill of cheating on Seol Hee was electrifying. After Seol Hee got off work, being with the team leader in the office felt thrilling like riding a roller coaster at an amusement park.
But, that was not because he wanted to break up with Seol Hee.
That’s completely different. From a single mistake, how could it change like this.
Seol Hee pointed a finger at him for cheating, but she, who started seeing another man immediately after breaking up, was not blameless either.
“Sigh……”
Chan Jeong licked his dry lips.
Drinking with friends.
The department where Chanjeong and Seolhee graduated from had less than 40 students. Over the 4 years, they became so close that they held drinking parties every half year.
Unless there was a serious matter like going on a business trip or falling sick, they would always gather. It was that important.
“Drink up, everyone!”
They gathered together to let off steam, sharing news about marriages, job changes, and other new information.
Today, there were a few people who brought their future spouses. However, the person who undoubtedly stole everyone’s attention was the man Seolhee brought. His name was Ok Eun Woo.
“I’m going crazy.”
A groan escaped Chanjeong’s lips.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
