Brother, You're Mistaken (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Hye Ju had been busy since morning.
She put more effort into her makeup than usual and spent over thirty minutes choosing an outfit. Though others wouldn’t have noticed such subtle changes, Hye Ju’s face was full of smiles as she carefully groomed herself.
Ever since sharing a kiss with Joo Won yesterday, she’d felt like she was floating on clouds. Even when sitting still, she couldn’t help giggling softly and her hands and feet kept tingling restlessly.
Her heart felt so full she couldn’t stay still—sometimes stomping her feet in place, other times hugging a pillow and rolling around.
After arriving at the office, her symptoms only worsened. She kept sneaking glances toward the CEO’s office once every minute and repeatedly opened and closed the company messenger window for no reason.
Hye Ju found herself utterly unfamiliar with the version of her who jumped in surprise and patted her chest just from hearing Joo Won’s voice from afar.
“Is work really this thrilling?”
It certainly hadn’t been like this when she’d had a crush on Seung Won. She’d often checked in on him to see if he needed anything, but her heart hadn’t fluttered this intensely. Partly because they’d known each other as friends for so long and felt comfortable around each other—but mostly because of Seung Won’s sloth-like personality. Since she could usually guess exactly where he was and what he was doing, there’d been no room for nervousness.
In contrast, Joo Won was a volcano—always making her stay alert, never knowing when scorching lava might erupt.
He was unpredictable and impossible to avoid.
“That’s why he just kissed me like that, I guess…”
Hye Ju’s cheeks flushed as she recalled the kiss with Joo Won.
Thinking back, it had been utterly blissful. When she remembered that moment—when all sounds from the world faded except for the soft friction of their lips—her heart pounded hard enough to ache.
Lost in dreamy recollection, Hye Ju suddenly grew curious.
“But… we are officially dating, 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.”
