Seeing Green’s bewildered state, Seonwoo furrowed his brow and began rummaging through the closet in a hurry, causing drawers to fall noisily to the floor. Fortunately, he found a T-shirt and sweatpants.
“I had these for emergencies when Green stays over. They’re the largest I have, but please wear these for now.”
Relieved, Green put on the clothes Seonwoo offered, but then looked dismayed. The T-shirt came down to her thighs, and the sweatpants were too long and loose at the waist.
Looking at Green almost drowning in the oversized clothes, Seonwoo found it difficult yet amusing. He was hopeless.
“It might be better to just wear the T-shirt. Our fathers don’t know much about women’s clothing. They might think it’s a mini dress.”
Hoping against hope, Green suggested this and Seonwoo, seeing no other option, nodded.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes!”
Taking a deep breath, they held hands and walked into the living room.
Seonwoo, with Green hidden behind him, faced his father with an unimpressed expression.
“What brings you here at this hour?”
Wearing only hastily put-on pants, Seonwoo’s muscular upper body was fully exposed. He tried to cover Green as much as possible with his broad shoulders as he confronted the elders.
Jin Youngcheol and Han Muntaek were taken aback by the sight of the couple.
“What are you two doing? This is outrageous!”
“Did you come?”
Green peeked out from behind Seonwoo, greeting them in Seonwoo’s oversized T-shirt and messy hair, her face as red as a beet.
“Even in front of adults, this is how you greet! This is why home education is important.”
Dissatisfied with everything about Green, Jin Youngcheol wanted to send her and Han Muntaek away. Seonwoo intervened.
“As much as this is my house, it’s rude to come in uninvited, especially at this early hour.”
“What’s all this about?”
Jin Youngcheol was even more displeased with his daughter-in-law.
“Please sit. I’ll bring something to drink.”
As Green hurried to the kitchen, Seonwoo followed.
“Yikes!”
Seeing the kitchen, Green gasped in shock.
Ignoring the table with empty bottles and glasses, the sight of Seonwoo’s robe and her nightgown on the floor too vividly showcased their activities from the night.
“What do we do? Did they see everything?”
“Probably.”
In a rush, Green picked up her nightgown and shoved it into the laundry basket in the utility room, while Seonwoo picked up his robe and tidied the fallen chairs.
Green brought out gugija tea and some rice cakes to cool their fathers’ heads.
As she served the tea and cakes and sat down, Seonwoo naturally draped his robe over Green’s lap.
Han Muntaek and Jin Youngcheol sighed deeply.
Despite their attempts to ignore it, the situation was unmistakable. From their actions and expressions, it was clear the couple had spent the night together, and intensely so.
“Did you two really sleep together?”
“What’s wrong with a married couple sleeping together? It’s not adultery.”
Seonwoo’s nonchalant response made Jin Youngcheol grind his teeth.
“Are you out of your mind? Didn’t I say I would file your divorce papers first thing in the morning?”
He aggressively waved the divorce papers in front of Seonwoo’s face.
Han Muntaek was equally frustrated. To think that Green, who had claimed never to have shared a bed with Seonwoo, chose this very moment, amidst divorce discussions, to consummate their relationship!
But what’s done is done, and Han Muntaek was not one to dwell on the past. He was busy trying to figure out the most advantageous move in the current situation.
A sly smile crossed his face as he thought of a plan.
“Sure, the marriage was out of necessity and it makes sense to part ways now that it’s served its purpose. But with recent developments, things seem to be taking a different turn, Congressman.”
“What are you implying now? Another scheme up your sleeve?”
Han Muntaek replied with feigned sadness, “It’s disheartening to hear you say that. If Green’s first time was with Seonwoo, then as a man, he should take responsibility.”
This sudden turn in Han Muntaek’s statement surprised everyone, including Green, Seonwoo, and Jin Youngcheol. In today’s world, the notion of ‘first time’ seemed incredibly archaic.
“Are you suggesting they should stay married instead of divorcing?”
Han Muntaek clucked his tongue in annoyance.
“Congressman Jin, there are other ways a man can take responsibility. Financial compensation is a simple method. You know, alimony.”
Green trembled with embarrassment and regret, realizing her father wasn’t there to oppose the divorce but to exploit her situation.
“Father, please stop!”
Jin Youngcheol’s face reddened with anger too.
“What a swindler! Expecting me to believe she’s twenty-seven and it was her first time?”
“I raised our Green so strictly! She never even held a man’s hand until now. You owe her compensation for tainting such an innocent girl!”
“Your daughter is the only one having a first time? My son is as well. Obsessed with work, he’s been indifferent to women. Your daughter seduced my son, so you owe us alimony.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
