The restaurant was a popular spot that required waiting at least two hours, and to enjoy many rides at the amusement park in a short time, it was better to have fewer people around.

Of course, it was more comfortable for him too, but with Seo Ah, any inconvenience or long wait seemed okay.

But how could he explain all these reasons?

Though he had decided to express himself without hiding, after 27 years of being reticent, hesitation was inevitable.

For Ha Joon, even small expressions always required courage.

Taking a deep breath inwardly, he gathered his courage.

“It wasn’t for me, but for you. I thought doing this would make you happy.”

Seo Ah’s clear eyes fluttered intensely. It was surprising that he thought this way and even more so that he expressed it.

This gave Seo Ah courage too, seeing Ha Joon’s changed demeanor.

“Why? Why are you suddenly being so nice?”

It felt like the right moment to hear his sincerity.

Ha Joon, expecting her to be just as shy as always, was dumbfounded when she asked why.

He couldn’t be honest. Admitting he secretly took the black box memory because he suspected Young-ju and became anxious thinking she might be considering divorce would surely upset her.

Seeing him hesitate, Seo Ah tried to smile and continued.

Startled, Ha Joon halted, and Seo Ah naturally stopped too, facing each other.

“You could have just said so. They could have made the lights brighter.”

“Did you realize that while we were riding?”

Seo Ah’s playful remark made Ha Joon hold back the urge to peck her again. It felt like security personnel might be watching from somewhere.

As Ha Joon, trying to look away from her adorable appearance, moved on, Seo Ah followed.

“Let’s come here often. We came at closing time today because it’s the weekend, but we can pick a weekday when it’s less crowded.”

“No! Don’t do that anymore!”

Seo Ah waved her hands, her eyes wide.

“I was happy and enjoyed today because you prepared it, but next time, let’s just come. The same with the restaurant and the cinema.”

“…”

“On weekdays, when you can make time, it’s not crowded. We can go to restaurants with private rooms, and cinemas are usually empty during weekdays or late nights.”

“Did it feel burdensome?”

“It did, but I was happy knowing your intentions. You did it because you can’t fully enjoy yourself with many people around.”

Ha Joon abruptly stopped again.

“That’s not it.”

“What?”

Seo Ah, also stopping, looked at him with wide eyes. If it wasn’t for the reason she had thought, then what was it?

Ha Joon struggled to continue. He recalled the reason why he had to do all this today.

Was it unintentionally for himself, as she said?

However, the more he thought, the more he realized it was all for her. He hadn’t once thought of his own convenience while preparing everything. It was all to create a space where she could comfortably enjoy herself.

The cinema was for the most comfortable seats. The restaurant and amusement park were to avoid long waits. The restaurant required at least a two-hour wait, and the amusement park needed few people around to enjoy many rides in a short time.

Of course, it was also more comfortable for him, but with Seo Ah, any inconvenience or long wait seemed okay.

But how could he explain all these reasons?

Seo Ah realized she had never actually confessed her feelings to Ha Joon. Though she showed signs of liking him when they were young, she had never said it out loud.

So, Seo Ah gathered her courage. She had wanted to hide her feelings out of pride, but now there was no need.

“I do too. I still like you, Ha Joon.”

Ha Joon’s heart seemed to drop. He had been sure she wasn’t considering divorce based on her actions, but hearing her say it directly mixed feelings of relief, joy, excitement, guilt, and gratitude.

He had thought she would hate him for his harsh words and actions, and he had been prepared to endure her disdain, just like he had ignored his own true feelings…

Ha Joon pulled Seo Ah’s delicate shoulders closer.

Somehow, he felt even more affectionate towards her.

[Star icon]

When they got home, showered, and lay down, it was already 1 AM.

Ha Joon sat against the bed headboard, while Seo Ah leaned on him, and they looked at the photos taken at the amusement park.

They had taken quite a lot, not just at the souvenir shop but also while roaming around the rides.

“Your expressions are getting more natural, Ha Joon.”

Seo Ah turned slightly to meet his eyes, and Ha Joon responded with a light kiss on her cheek.

Despite having many stories to tell, they had only confessed their mutual affection, and yet, they seemed much closer.

Then, as Seo Ah snuggled into Ha Joon’s embrace, his body filled with warmth. It was the first time she had initiated such closeness.

Though he wasn’t sure about her thoughts on sharing a bed and had planned to restrain himself, the confirmation of their feelings made it seem like a more challenging night ahead.

“You’re not going to the study tonight, are you?”

“…….”

When Ha Joon didn’t respond, Seo Ah lifted her head to look at him.

“Do you have to go again? Are you that busy?”

As Seo Ah frowned, the thread of Ha Joon’s restraint stretched taut, as if it might snap at any moment.

“From now on, focus on your work during the day. Even if you can’t sleep, try to develop a habit of sleeping at night…”

Seo Ah couldn’t finish her sentence.

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?”
