“When the journey ends…….”
Sehee’s eyes, looking at Kyle, trembled.
“I’m thinking of staying a bit more in Venice. If it’s okay, I’d like to stay together.”
Kyle asked cautiously.
With a trembling heart, Sehee looked up at Kyle.
After the journey ends?
Does making promises about the time after mean that all of this is not just a play?
The hope that blossomed cautiously in Sehee’s heart extended its head.
A small beam of light seemed to gently illuminate Sehee’s dark heart.
But at that moment, the article about Kyle that came to mind swept away that small light of hope.
“A ruthless entrepreneur who spares no effort for the success of the new business.”
“A young CEO with cold reason and bulldozer-like tenacity.”
Just referring to him with those words was enough to know what kind of person Kyle was.
Logical and able to control emotions in any situation, he was perfect in every way.
Having already experienced someone like Kyle, Sehee was confused by the conflicting emotions within her.
Is what he’s saying now sincere?
But soon negative thoughts flooded in.
Of course not.
If it were true?
No, such a thing wouldn’t happen.
Sehee was dizzy with the constantly changing emotions inside her, like flipping the palm of her hand.
But in the end, negative emotions took over.
Naturally, a dark shadow fell over Sehee’s face.
Kyle must be a thorough planner.
So, his words about the future must be intentional as well.
Promising after the journey ends would be the perfect safety device to accurately conclude the first voyage of the DecoNa Cruise.
Sehee thought of Kyle’s proposal as his final strategy.
A bitter atmosphere spread throughout Sehee’s body.
The dense melancholy made even the beautiful and blue sea in front of her appear horrifying.
“I’m not forcing you. I just… want to spend a little more time together. Sehee, just let me know according to your schedule. Of course, if you permit, I’ll take care of all the preparations.”
In a brief moment, reading Sehee’s expression with severe emotional fluctuations, Kyle hastily added that it’s okay to refuse.
Meanwhile, the meaningful appearance that Sehee showed kept bothering him.
It might have been an unreasonable request to suddenly propose the schedule after the cruise journey ends.
Kyle blamed himself for recklessly bringing up his very personal desire not to part ways immediately after the journey ends.
“…There’s still about a week left.”
Sehee’s response, hesitating with a subtle expression as if pondering, unexpectedly turned out to be positive.
“A week? I can spend more time with you in Venice?”
Like a child receiving an unexpected gift, a bright smile spread across Kyle’s lips.
“Yes. I also… want to be with Kyle.”
These words were Sehee’s sincerity.
Hoping that he would understand the desire to be with him.
To the extent that she wanted to say it herself.
But she already knew that the promise would not be kept.
A promise that would disappear into thin air in two days.
“Kyle.”
Sehee called Kyle gently.
“Can I hug you just once?”
And she requested with a shy expression.
Kyle furrowed his brows as if Sehee’s request didn’t sit well with him.
“No.”
He firmly refused.
Sehee’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Once wouldn’t be enough.”
With a gentle gaze, Kyle looked down at Sehee and opened his arms wide.
Sehee, whose expression had quickly softened due to Kyle’s actions, jumped into his arms as if being pulled.
And she hugged Kyle tightly.
I love you.
Kyle.
I sincerely love you.
You won’t forget this moment forever.
She pushed the words she couldn’t bring herself to say deep into her heart.
Buried her face in Kyle’s chest, Sehee’s tears began to flow.
“Sehee?”
Seeing Sehee’s trembling, tearful state, Kyle was bewildered.
“It’s just… because I’m so happy.”
Saying that, Sehee buried her face even deeper into Kyle’s chest.
This moment is too precious.
All the moments spent with you feel like a dream.
Only the sound of bells rang in Sehee’s ears.
The sound of bells announcing the midnight hour when the magic is broken.
Sehee took a deep breath as if it were her last.
She deeply engraved Kyle’s scent into her lungs.
To never forget.
Kyle Grayham Evans.
I bid farewell to my love.
The next morning.
The DecoNa Cruise arrived at its final port in Bari, Italy.
As soon as they arrived at the port, Kyle was busy with work from early in the morning at a rapid pace, as if a typhoon were sweeping through.
However, due to forcefully completing tasks in Bari until the schedule for the next day, the return to the DecoNa Cruise was significantly delayed.
Even though he was busy with work, Kyle’s mind was filled with thoughts of Sehee.
Since today’s schedule was tight, he had already mentioned that he wouldn’t be able to join the port excursion, planning to spend time alone with Sehee last night.
However, faced with Sehee’s ambiguous attitude that didn’t readily respond, Kyle had to take a step back once again.
As a result, Kyle became more curious about what Sehee did all day yesterday.
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
