A Gentle Intruder (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
A week had passed.
Looking around the unusually quiet hospital, Da Jung let out a small sigh. Was it over? Because she’d pushed her body unusually hard, the week had felt like a month.
Now, reality was finally sinking in. Dreams always had to end—that was just how it was. During this day off, she planned to visit her mother’s hospital and give her apartment a thorough cleaning. That was her reality now.
The day Kyung Jun found out about her and Jae Ho, Da Jung had asked him in the morning to come pick her up secretly.
She’d asked him not to enter the pension if possible, but to park outside and walk over—and Kyung Jun had followed her request faithfully. Thanks to that, she’d been able to quietly move her things and slip away unnoticed.
For a day or two, she’d been anxious. Jae Ho didn’t know her exact home address, but he knew roughly which apartment complex she lived in—and he certainly knew where she worked. She’d worried alone that he might come looking for her, angry that she’d left without a word.
But Jae Ho never came looking for her. Her fears had been baseless.
He didn’t show up at her front door or at the hospital. Honestly, how could she even worry about that? He was a well-known actor—there was no way he’d come to such a crowded hospital, especially since this wasn’t some rural town.
Was she disappointed?
Even though it was she who had left on her own terms, she now felt oddly empty seeing how cleanly he’d let her go. She couldn’t help but think about the contents of that document envelope again. Maybe he’d been right. Maybe by leaving first, on her own initiative, she’d allowed his little game to conclude successfully.
Her mouth tasted bitter.
Yet, at the same time, she worried whether he’d properly dealt with those suspicious stalkers. It was foolish of her—even after leaving him, she still cared about his well-being.
“Nurse Yoon. It’s time to switch antibiotics for patient Ahn Soo Jung in room 701—please double-check.”
“Yes, I’ll confirm it.”
At the hospital, Kyung Mi, her strict supervisor, gave her clear instructions. Da Jung replied respectfully and headed toward the patient’s room.
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.”
