These days, whenever I see Yu Sori, I try to smile, so being caught by someone when we’re together seemed like just a matter of time.
Hmm. He cleared his throat for no reason and regulated his expression.
Since he had accepted Sori’s request, Hyunwoo had to maintain the driest expression possible in the hospital.
Although it was the usual demeanor, it now felt a bit challenging in front of Yu Sori.
At that moment, the hand of the grandmother who was undergoing treatment suddenly reached for Sori’s hair.
Thud! Hyunwoo reached out with his long arm and grabbed the grandmother’s hand in one go. Touching Sori during the procedure could be risky for both of them.
Hyunwoo and Sori locked eyes, and he raised his eyebrows, reassuring her not to worry.
“Grandma, our professor is also holding hands. This hand is a precious one recognized in this hospital.”
The grandmother whose hand Hyunwoo was holding stopped struggling and became quiet again.
After that, Sori continued to chat with Hyunsuk.
“Our handsome professor must find Grandma beautiful too. Look at that. His expression has softened.”
Ironically, he thought that he might have to teach her one by one about her proficient needlework.
“Grandma, it would be nice if our handsome professor stayed by your side continuously, right? I feel the same way. But do you know? Our professor can really do anything. Not only strength…”
At that moment, Sori pulled out the needle from the grandmother’s forehead, and her eyes met Hyunwoo’s.
Hyunwoo raised his eyebrows, and with a sly smile, he teasingly asked, “Are you acknowledging that I’m good now?”
“I dare not comment on Professor’s skills. It doesn’t make sense.”
Making sure that no one heard her apology, she quickly glanced around.
“Why. Go ahead and finish what you were saying. Strength, what’s next?”
“I was a bit noisy, right? I’m sorry.”
Sori, who almost started talking about yesterday’s essay, silently begged Hyunwoo with teary eyes.
Please, just let it go this once.
“Yeah, in the time it took to say ten words, it’s already over.”
As if pointing out the prolonged treatment time, he tapped his wristwatch with his finger.
Seeing Sori pretending to zip her lips, he couldn’t help but laugh.
After barely finishing the treatment for Shin Hyunsuk, Sori was just waiting for a call from the CT room.
It was when Jongwoo, who had finished his meal, came down to the emergency room. Kitae was the same.
“Hey, Yoo Sori. It feels like it’s been a while. But where are you going with the patient?”
Sori was helping the grandmother put on slippers. It seemed she would have to personally escort her to the radiologist.
“I’m going to CT with this grandmother.”
“Going directly with the patient? Why?”
“She’s a patient with dementia. She shouldn’t be wandering around alone. It seems the CT room is crowded, so I thought it would be better to go and ask directly. I’ll be back in no time. If anything happens, call me.”
“Got it.”
“By the way, she might come from the police station. If she comes, tell her to wait for a moment.”
“Okay, okay. Don’t worry and go.”
Leaving Kitae in charge of the emergency room, Sori took Hyunsuk to the examination room.
Hyunsuk had become a bit quieter since Hyunwoo had left. However, it was uncertain when she might change again.
“You can’t tell me where it hurts because you’re a dementia patient. So, I’d like to take some X-rays first. Is that okay?”
The surprised radiologist reluctantly examined Hyunsuk first.
Taking a CT scan for a dementia patient was not an easy task. Everyone was anxious for quite a while.
“Thank you so much. You’ve worked hard.”
“No problem. I didn’t expect you to come here in person. Professor, you’ve endured more.”
After the examination, Sori took Hyunsuk back to the emergency room.
It was impossible to focus only on this patient in the busy emergency room, but there was no other way.
Kitae and Sori took turns monitoring the grandmother and treating other incoming patients.
“Kitae, keep an eye on this grandmother. Let her know when the results come out.”
Sori was busy.
Taking care of the grandmother, looking after other patients, checking if the police had arrived.
And the result of the examination for the grandmother’s head…
“There’s subarachnoid hemorrhage. What should we do? We need to perform surgery right away…”
It was a good decision to check first. The shaded part appeared on the X-ray.
It was evident that a greater impact had occurred on the head than expected from the fall.
Suddenly, she felt anxious.
In order, the procedure was to notify the senior resident immediately.
Sori went to Jongwoo, but Jongwoo said to contact Eunseok because he was about to go into surgery with the manager. However, for some reason, Eunseok didn’t answer the phone.
“Hong Eunseok, aren’t you answering the phone?”
“What should I do then? I’m about to enter the operating room for this patient. What about contacting the family first, especially since she’s a dementia patient?”
“Not yet.”
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
