Se-ah was sitting close to Kang-woo at the table and chairs.
When Se-ah, dressed in a white sleeve dress, flicked the lighter, a dazzling light sparkled in her hands.
“Did your wish not come true today?”
“I’m skipping it today.”
“Why?”
“It’s the same as last time.”
Se-ah leaned against Kang-woo’s sturdy shoulders. After messing up his long hair several times, Kang-woo stopped and rested his chin on Se-ah’s forehead.
In a slight silence, Se-ah raised her head as if asking why he stopped.
“What are you thinking?”
“I was wondering what Se-ah’s empty wish could be. How desperate could it be?”
“If I tell you, the effectiveness will wear off, so I can’t.”
“Is there anything related to me, even just a bit?”
Finding the expectation cute, Se-ah smiled slyly.
“That’s a secret. It has to come true, no matter what.”
“You made a wish that day for nothing. It kept me awake out of curiosity.”
If the hidden words behind his poker face were sincere, maybe we were a good match. It’s hard when only one person is obsessed, but if both are, there’s no problem. However, I was always the one caught in the act.
Kang-woo, skillfully removing the cork from the champagne bottle, tilted the bottle after removing the foil and wire.
Kang-woo, who expertly removed the cork, tilted the champagne bottle. Watching the pouring liquid, Se-ah lightly grasped the base of the champagne bottle.
“Kang-woo, you shouldn’t drink alcohol.”
“I’ll just pour it. I can’t just give it to you, right? It would be awkward.”
“Ah…”
With a shy clink, Se-ah touched the glass offered from the side. While Se-ah relaxed with a sip of champagne, Kang-woo showed a subtle smile.
“When did you prepare all this? It’s been a few days since you mentioned it.”
“At the hospital. I thought I might as well spend my time properly. You’re not unhappy because it’s too soon, right?”
“…I’m not unhappy.”
“Dragging out time doesn’t suit my temperament.”
As Se-ah looked at his firm face, Kang-woo picked up the champagne. Once again, Kang-woo kissed Se-ah, pulling her lips open, thinking it would deepen. Gently soothing and teasing, he didn’t hesitate to pull away. Frustratingly, it ignited even more.
In regret, my hand involuntarily reached for my lips. I watched the man who picked up a canapé with his own hand without realizing my feelings. He sipped a mouthful of champagne.
“Sour?”
“A little.”
As if waiting, the canapé was immediately bitten into Se-ah’s mouth. While Se-ah, who looked pleased to death, checked the pictures on his phone belatedly, Kang-woo snatched the road ahead.
“Delete it. It’s weird.”
“No.”
“It’s not good.”
“In my eyes, it’s pretty.”
“Even if Kang-woo likes it, I…”
The atmosphere was pleasant, but my lips hesitated on their own, as if afraid of ruining it. However, his directive to reject resounded in my mind. After all, I’ve retreated too much now. With things like this, how can I bring up the contract talk?
“Please don’t ignore my opinion completely and do only what Kang-woo wants. Please delete it.”
Tap. I pointed directly at the phone he held in his hand.
Did he become embarrassed by my serious expression? His dark pupils, already deep, weakly trembled, and his Adam’s apple endlessly bobbed. He, who rarely laughed, didn’t know how to stop once he burst into laughter.
“Why are you laughing? I’m serious.”
“Good job.”
Kang-woo complimented as he swept Se-ah’s hair. Immediately, he deleted the photos one by one in front of Se-ah’s eyes. However, his hand paused at the last one.
“Can’t I leave this one?”
“…No, you can’t.”
“It’s too cute not to. I want to keep it.”
In his black eyes filled with color, innocence was added.
“Ah… Okay.”
“Thanks for allowing it.”
“Ah, really.”
He had learned to apologize, and now he knew how to express gratitude. Because of that, the awkwardness melted away.
“I’m really happy these days because Kang-woo expresses affection to me more. It’s okay even if it’s clumsy and short. I’ll gradually teach you while doing more for you.”
“While learning, I want to know other things too.”
“What?”
Kang-woo bit Se-ah’s lower lip, then released it. His greedy breath wandered around Se-ah’s earlobe and neck for a while before forcefully separating their lips.
Unable to move as if tied to the chair, Se-ah couldn’t even twitch. As he pushed up the hem of her dress with his hand, he marked various spots from her ankles, where the dress ended, to her thighs with a reddish tint.
“Kang-woo, get up. Come on.”
Confused Se-ah tapped Kang-woo’s shoulders. He, who had been preying without a care, half-raised his knees.
In an instant, her body flew, and her legs wound around the man’s waist. To avoid falling, he had to pull her sturdy thighs tightly.
“Kang-woo… Ssi.”
“Teach me properly, Teacher Ji.”
Their lips met as they headed towards the bed. The pure white dress fluttered off.
Early dawn.
As expected, Kang-woo was the first to open his eyes. Se-ah was sleeping soundly beside him, her head almost buried in his forearm.
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.”
