As there were many unexpected variables until international flights departed, it was a national rule to arrive at least 2 hours, preferably 3 hours before departure!
“Mr. Seon-woo, is it really okay to go now?”
“It’s okay. There’s little luggage, and I can board the first class faster.”
“Ah!”
Only then did Green realize that she was like a mouse worrying about a cat.
‘If Hanna saw this, she would have mocked me again, saying that the dirt spoon was worried about the diamond spoon.’
Thinking about her friend, she smiled inwardly. At that moment, someone rushed toward the two of them. It was Nami-ran, Seon-woo’s secretary.
“Director Jin Seon-woo!”
“Hello, Secretary Na.”
“Oh, Mrs. Sa is with you too? I’m really lucky to meet you before Director Jin’s departure.”
Throughout the journey, she seemed to have been anxious about missing Seon-woo, and she looked very delighted to see him while panting.
“Mr. Seon-woo, you said there was no need for a farewell, didn’t you?”
When they were alone, Seon-woo, who used to speak sweet words, suddenly uttered something cold. Green, who was next to him, felt really sorry for herself. Frankly, she couldn’t imagine that Secretary Na had come because she wanted to.
Perhaps he worried that he had forced her with an attitude like, ‘Just work as a secretary and boss!’ But, in reality, Secretary Na didn’t show any signs of disturbance. Such an attitude from Seon-woo was routine for her.
Secretary Nami-ran smiled with a common capitalist smile and handed a document envelope to Seon-woo.
“The head of the promotion team gave you the first draft of the print ad.”
“This kind of thing is usually sent by email…”
“And Vice Chairman-nim wanted you to deliver this.”
Secretary Na handed a small envelope made of high-quality paper. It clearly looked like a money envelope.
When Seon-woo opened it right there, Green, curious, also glanced at it. There were a whopping five 500-euro bills inside.
Before Green could express her admiration, Seon-woo asked Secretary Na.
“Is this all you gave? You didn’t say what was needed.”
“Yes, there were no special instructions this time either.”
“I see. Good job. Secretary Na, please go in too.”
“Have a safe trip, Director-nim.”
After greeting Seon-woo and Green, Secretary Nami-ran left the airport.
When Seon-woo put the money envelope in his pocket, Green playfully poked his side.
“Mr. Seon-woo is so lucky. Even your mom gives you pocket money when you go on a business trip.”
Though it was meant to be a joke, Seon-woo’s expression momentarily stiffened. No, it wasn’t stiff; it seemed more like surprise.
“Why? What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
“Is this, pocket money?”
“Yes, if it’s not pocket money, then what is it?”
With a perplexed look, Seon-woo alternately looked at the money envelope and Green’s face.
“I thought you told me to buy something when I come in.”
“What?”
In response to Seon-woo’s reaction, Green was so bewildered that she lost her words. Despite the fact that there was no communication between them, she didn’t expect such inconsistency!
“Every time, you just gave me money without saying anything, so I thought I had to buy something every time I went on a business trip. But was this pocket money?”
Green inwardly sighed deeply. How can someone with an IQ over 150, who is a member of Mensa, not understand people’s hearts like this!
As the departure time was tight, Green pushed Seon-woo’s back to enter the departure lounge for now.
“There’s no time, so just go in first, and make sure to contact your mom later.”
“…Contact her for what?”
“What do you mean? Thank her for the pocket money and say that you’ll buy something delicious in Marseille. She’ll like it if you say that.”
Seon-woo, who was standing still with a vacant expression, nodded slowly. Then, he hugged Green tightly and turned to head to the departure lounge.
Following him and nagging along, Green gave him a piece of her mind.
“Don’t skip meals, call as soon as you arrive, make sure to contact your mom, and absolutely don’t take off your wedding ring!”
Looking back at Green’s words, Seon-woo slowly nodded with a bright smile, as always. It was the most beloved smile of her husband in the world.
Safely boarding the first-class, Seon-woo stared at his mobile phone for a while.
After hesitating several times, Seon-woo decided to send a text message to In-yeong. It was because it felt awkward to say it over the phone.
『Thank you for the pocket money you sent. When I arrive in Marseille, I’ll use the money Vice Chairman-nim gave me to have seafood dishes that I like.』
While Seon-woo was composing the message, he soon stopped his hand and deleted the entire content. Then, he dialed In-yeong’s number.
“Uh, I’ve boarded the plane. We’ll be departing soon.”
“Yes.”
As In-yeong was about to hang up, Seon-woo hastily added.
“I received the pocket money you sent. Thank you.”
Even as he spoke, Seon-woo’s heart was restless. He was worried about what In-yeong would say if she asked what he meant. At that moment, from the other end of the line, a faint laughter from In-yeong could be heard.
“…….”
“……Yes.”
“I said I would use this money to go to Marseille and buy something delicious.”
Seon-woo answered with a great sense of embarrassment. It felt like he had become a high school student going on a math field trip. This time, In-yeong’s laughter sounded a bit louder.
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
“Yes.”
A smile appeared on Seon-woo’s face as he hung up the phone. He sent a text message to Green.
『Talked to Vice Chairman-nim. Thanks ♥』
He sent the message to Green, and within less than two seconds, a reply came.
『Already miss Mr. Seon-woo. I love you ♥♥♥』
As Seon-woo switched his phone to airplane mode, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
It was a smile filled with gratitude for the relief from a troublesome task and for Green, who had resolved a long-standing misunderstanding.
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.”
