He was wearing a dark navy jacket with a burgundy tie. Although he was a man who looked good in a black suit as if it was his own skin, a suit with color suited him without any need for improvement. The deep blue added a flamboyant charm to Tae Sang’s strong features.
He was standing in front of the refrigerator with an unavoidably serious face. He even had his arms crossed, as if deep in thought.
“Vice President, let’s go.”
“What’s for breakfast?”
“Breakfast? Now is not the time to be talking about that. Eat later.”
“I usually don’t eat.”
“I usually don’t eat either.”
Da Jeong didn’t want to make Tae Sang, who was already late, even later. She quickly glanced at her watch and quickly moved towards him.
“Let’s go quickly.”
With that, Da Jeong grabbed Tae Sang’s arm. Perhaps because they had spent the night together, an unfamiliar sense of intimacy had sprouted.
She was gripping and pulling his arm vigorously, but Tae Sang slowly uncrossed his arms. He looked down at her small hand with his eyebrows slightly narrowed.
At a glance, he looked uncomfortable. However, there was no tension in his gaze. Da Jeong moved, confident that he was not angry.
As expected, the man followed like a magnet.
Holding Tae Sang with one hand and the handle of a trolley with the other, she walked briskly, but soon both hands became light. Tae Sang had started to walk ahead, holding the bag.
Da Jeong followed him at a brisk pace. Following his long legs, which strode at a trot, she found herself in the elevator before she knew it.
There was only a quiet silence in the small space. Da Jeong was looking at the 1st floor button when the light flickered, and then she spoke calmly.
“Um… Vice President.”
Looking back, it seemed that she had only shown an awkward side since last night. She thought she had to at least say a neat goodbye, and she instinctively straightened her back.
“Thank you for yesterday and today. Have a good meeting, and come home early to rest.”
“…”
She expected an indifferent answer, but there was no response. Tae Sang simply lowered his head slightly and slowly met her gaze.
Ding.
Just then, the arrival sound of the elevator rang. He slowly raised his hand and pressed the ‘close’ button. The slightly open door quickly closed.
Da Jeong looked at him with a puzzled gaze.
“Why…?”
“Are you not going to contact me again?”
She was momentarily speechless. This was definitely the question he had asked me yesterday. As if taking an exam, Tae Sang threw the same question without missing a single word.
His gaze, which was staring straight at her, felt like he was determined to hear the answer.
Da Jeong, full of bitter feelings, glared at him with all her might. Even though she had held her tongue yesterday, he was too ignorant of her intent to keep him out of the field work.
‘I could press the “open” button and just throw him down.’ She thought briefly, but Tae Sang lifted the edge of his brow as if demanding a quick answer.
Seeing his expression, an even more aggrieved Da Jeong could not hold back and began to spill her words.
“I do it, I do it. I say I’m going to do it. Even if it’s unfair, I do it, even if someone is harassing me, I do it. I’ll tell you everything, so keep your phone on you all the time! I won’t know if the employees complain later.”
“……”
“Do you know that you, Vice President, are really tenacious? I haven’t met you, but you’re probably just like your grandfather……” As Da Jeong was pouring out her words, she suddenly closed her mouth.
Even though they had grown a little closer, he was still her superior. They were not close enough to exchange jokes freely. She seemed to have thought of him too casually because she had been with him all day.
Unable to gather up her spilled words, Da Jeong just bit her lip.
“Miss Han Da Jeong.”
“Yes……?”
Da Jeong responded in a deflated voice.
“Keep going. I want to hear what kind of person I am too.”
“……I’ve said everything. That’s all.”
Da Jeong lowered her head, as if shrinking.
“I want to keep listening, but you’re not very obedient.”
Tae Sang removed his hand from the ‘open’ button and stood facing Da Jeong.
He was extremely satisfied with her unabashed attitude towards him.
He took another step closer, narrowing the physical distance between them. At this, Da Jeong, surprised, hastily opened her mouth.
“Vi, Vice President, why are you so curious?”
“I wonder.”
Again. The expression she had shown just before running away last night reappeared on Da Jeong’s face.
Her awkwardly furrowed brow, her eyes wide open in seeming unease. He wanted to keep admiring her cuteness, but this time he had no intention of stepping back.
Tae Sang lowered his head slowly and opened his mouth. For a moment, his dark pupils flickered with an inexplicable red light.
“I only have one thing I’m curious about.”
“What…… is it?”
“I……”
His lips, like a sculpture, began to move slowly.
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?”
