Before entering the house, it was when Tae-seo, who had confirmed the delivered food ingredients in front of the house, was looking around and about to close the door. Holding the phone handed over by Manager Jang, Tae-seo placed what he had in his hand in front of the entrance.
“Yes.”
Tae-seo signaled that he would change his clothes first and come down, looking at Jae-in, who was about to go upstairs. It was a call from Director Ji Seung-hee of Hyeonyang Foundation.
“Why is that person calling?”
“He wants to transfer all the 7 percent of Hyeonyang Construction shares he has to our side, for reasons unknown.”
At the unexpected words, Tae-seo’s thick eyebrows slightly twitched.
“Are you listening?”
“Yes, so what?”
“He left his personal contact number, saying he’ll wait for a call.”
“Send that number to my work phone, not this one. I’ll think about it and get back to him.”
Tae-seo, who hung up the phone, immersed himself in thought while washing his hands. His gaze, trying to gauge Ji Seung-hee’s intentions as she extended a helping hand to the enemy, sank heavily.
Since they were cunning individuals, it could be a trap. Moreover, he didn’t want to join forces with the person who had troubled Jae-in. Even though the enemy of an enemy is a friend, it was still a story that needed to be approached with caution.
“What happened? If it’s urgent, go. I can have lunch alone.”
Jae-in, who had changed into comfortable clothes, was now standing behind him. Tae-seo smiled and pulled her into his arms.
“I can’t have lunch alone.”
“…”
“What should we do? I can’t even eat alone now without Yoon Jae-in.”
At Tae-seo’s banter, Jae-in burst into laughter.
“You’re not attractive like a fool.”
“Oh, do you prefer smart men?”
“Yes.”
Tae-seo, who lightly touched Jae-in’s cheek with a smile, comforted her by embracing her, and they walked together like a baby taking its first steps, crossing the living room and passing through the kitchen.
“Where are we going now?”
“My study.”
“Why suddenly the study…?”
“I want to show you my graduation certificate.”
“Huh…?”
“To prove that I’m a smart man.”
The door to the study closed behind the man who was openly laughing. Jae-in, who glanced around the study with a broad desk and a plush chair, looked back at Tae-seo and smiled.
“…!”
In an instant, Jae-in, who grabbed Tae-seo’s shoulders and jumped, wrapped her legs around his waist, and Tae-seo quickly caught her.
“Daring woman, what do you think?”
“If it’s Yoon Jae-in, anything.”
Their heads tilted toward each other, and their lips drew closer. Suppressing the laughter that seemed to burst at any moment, Jae-in’s cheek against Tae-seo’s nose made a soft sound.
“But is that also in the study?”
Tae-seo, who immediately understood Jae-in’s question, smiled naturally and lowered his lips to hers. The light kiss, as ticklish as it was gentle, continued to pour out. Eventually, Jae-in burst into laughter.
“Why on earth is that in the study?”
“I knew a day like this would come.”
To avoid any interruptions, it should be placed in various places in the house. How would he react if he knew it was placed in the bathroom and the car? Tae-seo momentarily placed Jae-in on the desk, took off his T-shirt, and threw it away.
Whether it was because of Tae-seo’s shameless face or not, under the bright sunlight, Jae-in, too, reached out her hand without avoiding his gaze.
Smoothly revealing his shoulders and chest, Tae-seo’s well-defined abs and chest trembled at the slow strokes of her hand. Satisfied, Jae-in looked up at him.
“I’ve been waiting for a day like this.”
“You’re the one who made a day like this.”
“Hmm…”
“A man who schemes, what do you think?”
Amidst the peculiar whispering, the kisses were gradually deepening. As Tae-seo thought it would be okay to have a late lunch, his waist, which was being thoughtfully lowered, was gradually gaining strength in his large hands.
“You’re sexy, I think.”
With this statement, no more understandable words came out of Jae-in’s mouth. Tae-seo, who had claimed to prove he was a smart man, had proven quite a different charm for quite a long time.
Satisfied with his other charm, Jae-in, who had fallen asleep, opened her eyes after it had darkened.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I’m fine. It’s not that I’m saying I’m fine when I’m not, but I really feel fine.”
“Jae-in, don’t you feel bad? Even if she is Ji Seung-hee.”
“That person made that decision for a reason. I don’t think that person will be happy now. I don’t think we’re getting help from that person. We’re using that person.”
“Well, that’s not wrong.”
“Also, that person is not a fool, and because they have something they want, they said such words. I think it’s not bad to listen to it for now.”
Tae-seo, explaining the situation, was more impressed with Jae-in’s rational response than expected. Her emotionally detached answer was correct.
After dinner and a conversation with Jae-in, Tae-seo called Ji Seung-hee. When asked about the sudden proposal for stock transfer, Ji Seung-hee did not hesitate to respond.
“I want complete destruction of that person. And that is something you and Yoon Jae-in, and that child, would also wish for.”
Hearing the voice that felt like thickly coated with venom, Tae-seo chuckled, laughter escaping. Imagining Ji Seung-hee’s detestable face, he recalled Joo Yuri’s rebellion in Jung Jae-hoon’s office.
In many ways, they were truly alike, resembling each other even in their mutual dislike.
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?”
