What are you doing here, darling?
Seoa, turning around, was startled as if she had seen a ghost.
“Why are you here, darling?”
“I came here to save my beloved wife.”
“No way… Did you hear what my friends were saying?”
“It just happened that way. I knew it might turn out like this. Anyway, let’s go inside.”
As Hajun wrapped his arms around her shoulders, Seoa urgently grabbed him.
“Darling, even if my friends say strange things…”
“Don’t worry. Don’t you trust me?”
A smile appeared on Seoa’s face, which had been filled with concern.

“I trust you.”
“Let’s go in.”
Soon, as Hajun and Seoa revealed themselves, their friends, except for some envious ones, greeted them enthusiastically.
“Hello. It’s been a while. My husband is here too. Is it okay?”
“Of course! Nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you for the first time. I’m Kang Hajun. I hurt my arm a bit, so please understand.”
“Your arm… Hello…”
“Hello. I heard you’re in the hospital because of your husband. Are you okay now?”
Apart from the envious group, everyone welcomed Hajun and Seoa warmly.
“Hey, Seoa is also a chaebol heiress.”

“Oh, right. Haha.”
When Seoa’s status as a chaebol heiress was revealed during school, there was no sense of distance. However, seeing the 3rd generation of Tae Sung Group, who is guarding the top position in the domestic business, both in appearance and ability, everyone felt a bit bewildered.
Despite Hajun not mentioning his status and having a cast on his arm, the strong aura was enough to predict. Seoa felt the same way.
“But Seoa, you look like a completely different person. It’s awkward to see you wearing luxury brands.”
“Why~. Treat me comfortably~.”
Seoa scratched her neck. Since she had never worn luxury brands during school days, it felt awkward, especially with the reactions of her friends. She had dressed up appropriately, knowing it would be like this.
At that moment, a staff member came with wine.
“Wine? Who ordered this??”
“I prepared it. If I knew earlier, I would have welcomed you to our hotel, but I wanted to treat you well. Since I rented this restaurant as well, please enjoy it comfortably.”
Hajun’s words made his friends’ eyes widen. Somehow, it was a famous restaurant, and there were no customers, even though it wasn’t early evening.

Later, the most expensive dishes in this restaurant were served one after another, filling the six tables.
Seoa, who knew nothing, was also surprised, and she whispered in Hajun’s ear.
“When did you prepare this? Isn’t it too much?”
“Compared to Tae Sung Hotel.”
“But still…”
Looking closely, the wine brought by the staff was high-priced.
“Oh, this wine is extremely expensive…”
“Why? How much is it?”
“It’s our monthly salary.”
“Oh my!”

The envious group found it challenging to control their expressions. They were busy rationalizing that this must be a show.
“I prepared it reasonably because I thought you might feel burdened. I’m not sure if it suits your taste.”
“Is this considered reasonable?”
“For things like this, you should eat even if it doesn’t suit your taste!”
“I’ll enjoy it!”
“Thanks to having a good schoolmate, I get to taste these!”
The friends energetically picked up their chopsticks, ready to enjoy the meal.
Seoa was a bit embarrassed at the moment. It was because Hajun couldn’t use his right hand, so she had to feed him.
Hajun could have done it alone, but he was waiting for her to feed him, as he had done so far.
Seoa, whose eyes rolled quickly, took the opportunity when her friends weren’t looking and brought a piece of steak to Hajun’s mouth.
However, Hajun, who was expected to accept it right away, leisurely showed composure.

“Oh~~! What’s going on between you two?”
Noticing their situation, some friends screamed, causing a commotion.
Upon this, the envious group, who were giving Seoa a piercing look, made a disgusted expression and quickly changed the subject.
“Oh! Do you know this? Seoa was terrible at studying during school!”
“That’s right! Right! You were always fooling around at the back! Haha.”
An awkward silence ensued as they glanced at each other, but Hajun immediately responded.
“Of course, I know. I fell for that side of her. It’s a carefree charm without any worries about the world.”
Seoa’s face turned red to the tips of her ears. It was expressed positively, but it seemed like he was saying that she lived thoughtlessly.
However, his following words made it even more challenging to manage her expression.
“Just because you’re good at studying doesn’t mean everything goes well. We, who are surrounded by an atmosphere where we have no choice but to study hard, find it amazing how you enjoy life without caring. And I feel like if we live together, even if I have a difficult time, it will be resolved quickly because of your positive energy. It’s true.”

“That’s right! Just because you’re good at studying doesn’t mean everything goes well! If you hear the stories of successful people, there are more who didn’t study well in their school days!”
“And Seoa, now you speak four languages? Five languages, right?”
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.”
