Se-hee looked at Kyle with a dazed expression, as if she was in a trance.
“I think it’s you, but if you’re doubtful, you can go out and check your cabin number.”
Kyle’s voice was utterly calm, suggesting they check the cabin number.
“Ah… right, my cabin number. You’ll come with me, right? My heart feels like it’s going to burst. I’m so glad Kyle is rational. I’m really about to faint.”
As Se-hee moved her trembling legs, Kyle supported her to walk safely.
Like a bodyguard, Kyle protected Se-hee from the numerous people offering congratulations.
Arriving at the event desk, the staff asked Se-hee to check the application.
Even after confirming the application with her cabin number, her name, and her partner Kyle’s name, Se-hee kept shaking her head in disbelief.
Se-hee signed the confirmation slip given by the event staff, and listened to the instructions for the next day’s schedule, still in a daze.
She barely understood the staff’s instruction to come to the shop at 11 o’clock the next morning.
Pushing through the crowd, the two headed to a secluded spot.
Se-hee still couldn’t believe it.
She couldn’t hide her excitement, soaring high into the sky.
“I should buy a lottery ticket on a day like today. How… how can such luck come to me… how.”
Se-hee was choked up with emotion in her voice.
“Do you like it that much?”
“Yes. I can’t express it in words. Kyle. I’m so happy.”
Despite being dressed in an elegant dress, Se-hee, overwhelmed with excitement, suddenly leapt into Kyle’s arms as if she would fly away.
Se-hee’s arms wrapped around Kyle’s neck.
She buried her face in his chest, filled with happiness.
“I’m so happy. So happy.”
Se-hee burst into tears of joy in Kyle’s chest.
Seeing Se-hee, so happy as if she had won the world, Kyle decided to forget for a moment the pangs of conscience that had been bothering him.
Just seeing her so happy filled his heart to the brim.
He slowly embraced Se-hee’s waist, who had come into his arms.
Her sweet and fragrant scent was intoxicating.
“Congratulations.”
Kyle slowly lowered his head and whispered into Se-hee’s ear.
The enchanting scent coming from Se-hee powerfully stimulated Kyle’s senses, numbing his reason.
Drawn by that scent, Kyle’s hot lips gently pressed against Se-hee’s neck.
It was too impulsive.
Fearing he might lose Se-hee, who jerked in surprise, Kyle’s arms around her waist tightened.
The vibration felt so close, it was impossible to tell whose heartbeat it was, causing dizziness.
Kyle’s self-control seemed to have already exceeded its limits the moment Se-hee embraced his neck.
At the touch of his lips, Se-hee almost stopped breathing.
It was a different dimension of emotion than the elation of winning the wedding event.
It was hard to bear the heat that spread through her body in an instant, as if electricity had run through her.
Se-hee, overwhelmed with joy, had leapt into his arms without realizing it.
She had thought the rational Kyle might scowl and push her away.
But Se-hee couldn’t handle the huge impact of her actions.
Her heart was pounding as if it would explode.
Thinking Kyle must already feel the vibration of her heart, she moved to step away, but this time he did not let her go.
Just when she thought she might faint, Kyle’s lips finally parted.
The strength in Kyle’s arms loosened.
Se-hee, shivering, looked up at Kyle with a bewildered face.
Only then did Kyle’s reason begin to return.
Realizing what he had done.
“……It would be better to go back now.”
His slow voice was full of lingering emotion.
No longer as cool as before.
“Yes, right? Yes.”
Even though she had stepped away from him, Se-hee, still dizzy as if she was in his arms, barely turned around.
After seeing Se-hee into her room, Kyle stood outside the closed door for a while.
He had to calm his unsettled emotions.
Crossing the line any further was dangerous.
Kyle left the front of Se-hee’s room with heavy steps.
However, a shadow quietly followed the slowly walking Kyle.
But Kyle must have known about it.
After getting off on his floor, Kyle deliberately waited in front of the elevator for the pursuer.
As expected, the elevator went back down and then came up, stopping at the 21st floor.
As the doors opened.
The moment their eyes met, Kyle’s brow furrowed deeply.
“I thought you might have noticed already…….”
Sung-jae stepped out of the elevator, shooting a sharp look at Kyle.
Silently, Kyle’s cold gaze fixed on Sung-jae.
“It seems we’ve met before in the past… but there’s something strange.”
Sung-jae spoke meaningfully and approached confidently.
“Why hide it? Your real name.”
Sung-jae glared sharply at Kyle.
“I never hid it.”
Kyle scoffed, as if finding the idea ludicrous.
“Se-hee doesn’t seem to know you’re the owner of this cruise line.”
“Sihan Group. Vice President Ban Sung-jae.”
Kyle’s voice made Sung-jae flinch in surprise.
He too seemed to have been aware of Kyle’s presence.
“I’m not deceiving anyone. I just haven’t had the chance to tell her.”
Sung-jae spoke irritably, as if to differentiate himself.
However, Kyle’s slow, unnerving voice flew at Sung-jae, his eyes filled with a disagreeable look that seemed to say, ‘you’re no different.’
“No matter how it is.”
“If you think of Se-hee as just a one-night stand, I won’t let it slide.”
“Vice President Ban Sung-jae. You better watch your mouth.”
Kyle’s expression hardened instantly at Sung-jae’s unpleasant choice of words.
A cold chill filled Kyle’s low voice, directing a frosty air entirely at Sung-jae.
Kyle’s gaze, looking down on Sung-jae arrogantly, was more oppressive than ever.
“I warned you, I won’t overlook it anymore.”
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.”
