He seemed to have already adjusted to the newlywed atmosphere, but it was difficult for Da Hyun.
Struggling to maintain her smile, Da Hyun poked at the steak that Min Hyuk had cut for her with a fork.
However, to Ji Yeon, the two of them exuded a sweet atmosphere.
Watching them, Ji Yeon felt her stomach churn at Da Hyun’s happiness.
She’s so happy, it’s killing me. Just die.
Ji Yeon bit her lower lip, then broke into a grin and narrowed her eyes.
“Sis, it’s so lovely to watch!”
Ji Yeon, who had put down her knife and fork, suddenly clapped her hands and drew attention.
“Brotherinlaw, do you know? Sis was in a traffic accident.”
Da Hyun’s head, which had been bowed, shot up.
“Ji Yeon.”
Da Hyun called out to Ji Yeon in a calm tone, but Ji Yeon acted as if she hadn’t heard.
“I wasn’t in Korea at the time so I didn’t see it firsthand, but they said it was because of that accident that HG Group rejected you?”
Da Hyun wanted to stitch up Ji Yeon’s mouth, which was smiling brightly.
“Do you know how upset I was!”
Her hand gripping the fork tightened. She didn’t want to talk about it.
It was a memory with nothing good about it. The memory was lost, and Si Hoon announced his marriage to another woman.
Da Hyun would have preferred to bury the issue of the traffic accident if she could.
“Ji Yeon, stop it.”
Ji Yeon, who had been studying abroad, didn’t know the details of what happened at the time. What she was saying now was merely her own speculation.
But Min Hyuk had no way of knowing that.
She had no intention of telling Min Hyuk about her accident like this.
Da Hyun was just about to open her mouth, barely holding back her boiling rage, when…
“Huh? Brotherinlaw, you didn’t know about Sis’s accident?”
Ji Yeon jumped in and opened her mouth before her.
“Oh my, did I make a mistake?”
She blinked rapidly, one hand feigning ignorance on her cheek.
She spat it out, pretending not to notice, deliberately exposing Da Hyun’s wounds.
“No, sisterinlaw. Please continue.”
Min Hyuk, like someone listening to an interesting story, paused his meal and focused on Ji Yeon’s words.
Seeing her pitiful effort to somehow hurt me made me shake my head.
It was amusing that she was going to all this trouble for nothing, because letting Min Hyuk know about my past would not affect him.
If Ji Yeon couldn’t even notice the perfect showwindow couple, they must look like an ordinary newlywed couple to others.
“Back then, Dad was really upset. Sis was hurt in an accident and the marriage went down the drain. He was heartbroken.”
Da Hyun shut her eyes tightly and then opened them. Even though she knew that Min Hyuk wouldn’t be affected even if he knew, she still didn’t like revealing her wounds to others.
It was all the more so because it came from the mouth of someone else, not mine.
“It seems like you really are destined with the HG Group, sis. After all, you did become a member of the infamous HG Group two years ago. I’m really happy for you.”
“……”
Da Hyun completely lost her appetite at the sight of the feigned smile.
Nobody reached for the food. The meal had already been pushed to the backburner. No, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that dinner time was over.
Of the three people seated, only Ji Yeon seemed excited.
I don’t know why I asked Ji Yeon to take my place confronting Da Hyun. Ji Yeon didn’t want to admit that she had shot herself in the foot.
After leaving home, Kang Min Hyuk was a good company to keep. She had met several men, but none left as deep an impression as Kang Min Hyuk.
She was a fool for believing the rumors about Kang Min Hyuk, with his brutish face, being ferocious.
Every day she regretted it. Even though he was a ship that had already sailed, she pretended to be okay, but she wasn’t. It hurt so much that she felt like she was going to die. She had always been above Da Hyun, but in an instant, she fell below her.
She had become envious of Da Hyun. If she had known how handsome Kang Min Hyuk’s face was, she wouldn’t have asked Da Hyun to take her place.
First, the face. Second, the proportions. As Ji Yeon who only looks at these two criteria when looking at men, her dissatisfaction did not subside.
Had she not seen Kang Min Hyuk up close at the department store yesterday, she would not have asked Soo Chul for his contact information and called him, making up an excuse about a dinner invitation.
Kang Min Hyuk’s face was perfectly Ji Yeon’s type.
What was more unforgivable was that Da Hyun, who always failed to properly dress up compared to her, was now wearing better things than she had.
The earrings Da Hyun was wearing were a new product from the H company. She heard that it had not yet officially been sold and was not available for collection.
It was clear that Kang Min Hyuk had procured it for her. Even the cashmere silk dress that Da Hyun wore was new. A boiling rage bubbled up inside her.
It was originally meant for Han Ji Yeon, not Han Da Hyun.
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.”
