“Even after being discharged, her arm was still broken, and she couldn’t move it properly, right? And it’s her right arm. Is this possible?”
“In this case, the woman should be more active, right? Where’s Seoa?”
“Yeah, she should climb up the quiet kitchen first.”
Seoa woke up. Feeling Hajun’s warm touch on her belly, she trembled.
“Are you awake?”
“Honey… What happened?”
“Uh… Well…”
Hajun couldn’t speak as he tried to say something.
He was worried she might show a negative reaction, but more than that, it felt strangely awkward. He was her dad. The fact that this tender girl had become a mom was unbelievable.
“Why do you keep touching my belly? My stomach doesn’t hurt, is there something wrong with my stomach?”
“Well, you see… Our child is here.”
Seoa’s clear eyes faintly sparkled.
“I’m so happy, honey might be surprised, but, well, I…”
Hajun’s mind became tangled. He had been pondering how to tell Seoa when she woke up, but he couldn’t find an answer.
“Ha… It’s the 7th week! I’m sorry! I should have been more thorough…”
“Really? Our child is here?!”
As Seoa sat up with her upper body, a surprised Hajun couldn’t help but grab her belly.
“You shouldn’t stand up so suddenly…”
“I’m sorry! I’m so happy too!”
While Seoa happily hugged Hajun’s neck, he felt uneasy.
“But… It’s Iranian twins.”
“What?”
When Seoa, who had separated from the hug, widened her eyes, Hajun spoke. Twins were something she had never imagined!
“I have twins? Wow… it’s amazing.”
“So, you need absolute stability. Symptoms will be twice as severe. Nausea will be twice as bad. The belly will swell faster. There’s a higher risk of complications…”
“Oh…”
“So… it seems like you’ll have to take a leave from school. It could be dangerous for both the mother and the baby…”
“I see… It’s a bit sudden, but it can’t be helped! Our baby is more important!”
“Really okay? You worked hard preparing for this semester after not doing well last semester’s exams.”
“It’s okay. I can study hard again after giving birth.”
“…”
“I’m really okay! Honey must be very happy too, right?”
“Of course.”
“Then please be as happy as you want.”
Seoa, showing a wide smile with her arms spread out, was hugged tightly by Hajun.
“Thank you. Honey. I love you.”
Hajun could finally relax and rejoice with his heart at ease.
That night,
Hajun was leaning against the bed’s backrest, and Seoa was leaning against Hajun.
“Mother gave the guests premium wine, saying she was so happy.”
“Really? If I knew she would be so happy, I would have rushed.”
“You couldn’t have imagined it, so wouldn’t you be even happier? Both of us too.”
“Well… I was thinking about it to some extent.”
At her unexpected words, Hajun’s pupils vibrated left and right. But then, her following words made him nod involuntarily.
“Wasn’t it strange that I wasn’t pregnant? I felt like I wouldn’t be surprised if I suddenly became pregnant one day.”
That was why Seoa could quickly decide to take a break from school. She had thought about what to do if she suddenly became pregnant one day.
“Really…?”
“Yes. Our kids seem to be very healthy. They’ve overcome hardships from the beginning.”
A slightly sentimental Hajun gently touched Seoa’s belly.
“Okay, we should have naturally restrained ourselves, but from now on, we really have to be careful. Our honey might be at risk too.”
“But what should we name our kids?”
“Oh, I did some internet searching.”
“Really? When?”
“Dear, while you were asleep at the hospital.”
A smile appeared on Seoa’s lips. In the midst of worrying about whether she would be pleased, she must have figured out the baby’s names.
“I picked a few, like Alkongdalkong, Chaltteok Kongtteok, Shintongbangtong, Love Blessing, Ssuk Ssuk Tunteon. Which one do you prefer?”
“Well… I like all of them…”
“I was thinking about Chaltteok, Kongtteok. Like you said, sticking together like Chaltteok even in hardships, and let’s continue like that.”
“Oh! That sounds good.”
With a proud smile, Hajun gently touched Seoa’s belly with his cheek.
“Chaltteok, Kongtteok. Thank you for coming to us. Mom will endure a bit more, let’s meet healthily.”
After that day, Hajun took extremely good care of Seoa.
Despite being knowledgeable in various fields, he knew almost nothing about pregnancy and childcare, so he searched the internet whenever he had a chance.
He tried everything that was said to be good for nausea and rushed to Seoa anytime she needed something or wanted to eat.
Although there was a helper, he wanted to do everything himself. He wanted to relieve her pain, even if he couldn’t replace her with childbirth.
Thanks to him, Seoa didn’t feel much pain.
It felt like being on a boat in rough waves all day, and she lost a lot of weight, reaching the point where she could vomit just by drinking water. Still, she could endure it with Hajun by her side.
As time passed, the never-ending nausea gradually subsided.
Twins are said to be unstable, but fortunately, thanks to Hajun’s meticulous care, Seoa found stability.
And then came the long-awaited day to confirm the gender.
The doctor said, “Not sure, but… One seems to resemble dad, and one seems to resemble mom.”
It was what Hajun and Seoa wished for, and what everyone hoped for.
While gender wasn’t crucial, it would be nice if both a son and a daughter, being Iranian twins, arrived at the same time.
“How beautiful would our daughter be if she resembles you, honey?”
“How cool and clever would our son be if he resembles you?”
“Even if our son resembles you, honey, he will be like that.”
“Daughter too. Even if she resembles you, honey, she will be pretty.”
Hajun, caressing Seoa’s slightly bulging belly, said with anticipation, “I want to see them soon. Our Chaltteok and Kongtteok.”
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?”
