In the afternoon, Ji-yeon was a bit excited at the thought of visiting Ji-eun to show her the plans she had organized during this time.
“My sister is a capable businesswoman, so she’ll give me a realistic feedback. I hope she understands my intentions well. Well… even if she gives unexpected advice, I can consider it and revise my plans. Let’s not be too nervous.”
While pondering various thoughts, she arrived at a park not far from home.
Unknowingly, she had arrived at the location where she had agreed to meet the running crew.
In addition to about 10 regular members, there were about 5 beginners, including Ji-yeon, who wanted to experience it.
In the case of morning gatherings that Ji-yeon had experienced a few times, there were usually around 10 people, but today it seemed like more people had gathered.
“How many people came today?”
After warmly greeting those who arrived first, Ji-yeon was surprised when she saw one person.
Unexpectedly, there was Manager Kang Ji-hyun.
“Manager Kang Ji-hyun!”
“Oh my! Manager Ji-yeon.”
“What brings you here?”
“I’m a regular member here. I haven’t been able to come for a while, but today I came out after a long time. Since when have you been participating, Manager?”
“Really? I’ve been participating here for a few days. I want to run properly, but there’s still a lot I don’t know, so I’m getting help.”
“Meeting like this, we’re truly fated.”
Ji-yeon and Kang Ji-hyun talked about various things related to C&C, and as the conversation extended, they decided to have a simple breakfast at Ji-yeon’s house after running.
“It’s so nice to meet like this. My house is not far from here. If it’s convenient for Manager, let’s have a simple meal and chat at my place.”
“Thank you for the invitation! I have enough time.”
After running about 5km together, Ji-yeon and Kang Ji-hyun walked slowly to Ji-yeon’s house.
Perhaps because it was still early, the cool air, along with the refreshing scent emanating from the trees in the neighborhood, touched their noses.
“5km is quite challenging for beginners. Later on, you’ll want to walk because you’re out of breath. Manager, how do you make it look so effortless?”
“Just be consistent for about three months. Before you know it, you’ll easily exceed 5km, and eventually, you’ll find yourself looking for races to participate in, even considering joining a marathon. It’s a highly rewarding exercise.”
“I just hope I can say those words someday.”
“You will! I’ll tell you about useful apps for running later. It really helps with motivation.”
“Thank you, Manager. Oh, right. You haven’t started working yet, have you?”
“No, not yet. I’ll start next week.”
Following Ji-yeon’s introduction, Kang Ji-hyun found a place in Onyu Bio and would start working next week.
“My brother said you did really well in the interview. I was curious, so I asked him. The feedback from the interviewer was excellent, wasn’t it?”
“I’m grateful that they viewed it positively.”
While Ji-yeon and Kang Ji-hyun chatted about various things, they were entering the alley near Ji-yeon’s house.
It was then.
A black car approached Ji-yeon and Kang Ji-hyun at a rapid speed with a loud noise.
“What is that car! Why is it speeding through the alley so fast… Manager!”
They tried to move aside, but the car was rushing so fast that Ji-yeon and Kang Ji-hyun couldn’t avoid it perfectly.
In a moment of urgency, Kang Ji-hyun pushed Ji-yeon toward the wall, but the car continued to rush forward, hitting someone before finally coming to a stop.
“Ouch.”
Sharp pain, as if hitting her head with a hammer, gradually opened Ji-yeon’s eyes, and a white ceiling came into view.
“Ugh…”
But soon, the white ceiling spun around, followed by a wave of nausea.
“Ms. Ji-yeon!”
She slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, Kang Hyun was in her field of vision.
“Mr. Kang Hyun… Ouch!”
Ji-yeon tried to sit up, but intense pain surged from her entire body, and she inadvertently grimaced.
“Don’t get up, just lie down. You need to be careful for a while. Luckily, there are no fractures, but you have bruises in various places.”
“What happened…?”
“There was an accident.”
“An accident? Ah… right. We were walking with Manager Kang towards my house, and then a car came quickly toward us.”
“That’s right. There was a car accident, and both Ms. Ji-yeon and Manager Kang got injured.”
Thinking again about the black car that had rushed toward them, Ji-yeon was struck with a headache.
As she brought her hand to her head, she felt the bandage wrapped around it.
“It doesn’t seem like a simple accident, Mr. Kang Hyun. The car didn’t slow down and rushed toward us intentionally.”
Kang Hyun gently laid Ji-yeon back on the bed.
“That’s right. It seems intentional. The driver was… Jeong Se-ah.”
“Jeong Se-ah?”
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.”
