“The food here is quite good!”
As an unusual silence filled the air, Yeong-ja carefully spoke up.
“I really love Hee-ju’s kimchi stew the most. If you two divorce, I guess I won’t be able to eat it anymore, right?”
Jenny chimed in without considering the mood, prompting Yeong-ja to pinch her thigh as a silent cue to be quiet.
“Ah, so you two are getting a divorce… It seems like it. I guess I intruded without realizing.”
Lona acted as if she was completely unaware.
“You always were a bit oblivious in many ways.”
“What?”
Lona looked confused, and Chae-won laughed lightly.
“It’s just a joke. The atmosphere was so tense, so I thought a little joke might lighten it up.”
As Lona’s face clearly showed her displeasure, an uncomfortable Yeong-ja rolled her eyes and took care of her.
“Why would you make such a joke? Um, Jae-min’s friend, please eat more. I’m full, so have some of mine too.”
Even though ‘Lona-ya’ had now become ‘Jae-min’s friend,’ Lona felt a bit relieved by Yeong-ja’s caring gesture.
“Thank you, ma’am.”
As Lona cut her steak and ate, she observed Hee-ju’s slow movements. Hee-ju, always seen in baggy clothes and an apron, with a bare face while cooking, had changed so much…
Their eyes met while observing.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Lona quickly shifted her gaze.
“You just seem to have changed a lot from before.”
“Well, that’s actually because of me,” interjected Jae-min, boasting while chewing his steak.
Unlike their initial tension, Jae-min now felt relieved, believing his wife was completely deceived.
“She transformed herself completely, from head to toe, to change my heart. She really put a lot of effort into it.”
“Ah, we’re out of tissues?”
As Jae-min was chewing his steak, he noticed Chae-won looking for tissues and promptly called a waiter.
“Hey, over here! Can we get some tissues, please?”
After the waiter left, Jae-min turned back and was startled by the fierce look in Lona’s eyes.
“Oh? Sis, your ring is pretty!”
Jenny, who had been absorbed in her phone, suddenly grabbed Lona’s hand and asked.
Seizing the moment, Lona smiled broadly and showed her hand.
“This one? My boyfriend gave it to me. Pretty, isn’t it?”
“Ah, so Lona has a boyfriend.”
As Chae-won reacted, Lona’s face lit up with pride.
“We are getting married soon.”
“Married?”
“Yes. Actually, I’m pregnant.”
Yeong-ja and Jae-min, who had been listening tensely, gasped in surprise.
“Are you okay, honey?”
“Ah, ah, cough! Cough! I was just surprised because I didn’t know. Um, congratulations, Lona. Uh.”
Lona wanted to spill the truth.
The child in her womb belonged to your husband. So, please divorce and leave us be.
“Having a child before marriage isn’t a stigma these days. I mentioned it because there’s no reason to hide it. I might look a bit heavier due to the pregnancy.”
“Right. Congratulations, Lona.”
Despite Jae-min’s gesture to stop, Lona didn’t want to end it there.
“My boyfriend’s mother is very happy about it too. She considers it almost like a dowry. I’m so grateful everyone is happy.”
“My boyfriend’s mother likes me a lot too. She says I’m like a dowry. I’m so grateful everyone is so happy.”
Wishing she’d be caught soon, hoping for a divorce.
“That sounds wonderful. You must be very happy, Lona.”
The moment I’ll truly be happy is when Kim Hee-ju divorces.
Please, just leave.
Lona internally screamed, wanting to provoke her properly.
“It’s bittersweet to hear you two are divorcing. It’s a pity, isn’t it? Wouldn’t it have been better if you two had a child?”
“Do you think so?”
“Definitely. A child binds a couple together.”
Chae-won rested her chin on her interlocked hands, contemplating. Lona felt like a victor seeing her ponder.
“Then, honey, should we have a child too?”
Lona’s smile dropped instantly. Her eyes sharply turned to Jae-min.
Caught between Lona’s sharp gaze and Chae-won’s serious question, Jae-min’s lips faltered.
“Uh… um… we, we’re getting a divorce.”
“Well, we still have issues to resolve.”
“Oh, right, that.”
Chae-won looked disappointed.
“It’s okay. I understand your feelings now.”
“No, it’s not like that, Hee-ju. Let’s talk later, okay?”
Watching the scene unfold, Lona slammed her fork down loudly.
“I feel nauseous from morning sickness. I’ll be back from the restroom.”
As Lona walked away, Jae-min sighed, unable to follow her due to his wife’s presence.
“Why did I create such an awkward situation?” he lamented internally, blaming Lona.
“Lona seems really unwell.”
“Should I go check on her?”
Before Chae-won could react, Yeong-ja quickly stood up.
“No, no, I’ll go! I’ll go!”
With both seats now empty, Jenny still focused on her phone, Hee-ju’s phone vibrated briefly on the table.
After realizing it was just an advertisement, Chae-won put the phone back down.
“But why don’t you reply to my texts?”
Ah, that’s right.
She had been putting it off out of annoyance.
Chae-won smiled prettily at Jae-min.
“On purpose.”
Jae-min smiled at her response, finding even that cute.
“I knew it. I knew all along.”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
