As if anticipating Okhee’s reaction, Seontae chuckled and extended an envelope.
“Looks like you’re still upset, honey. Let’s talk after you see this.”
Okhee, looking at Seontae as if asking what he was talking about, took the envelope.
But as Okhee checked the contents of the envelope, her eyes widened gradually.
“What is this?”
Okhee’s voice, asking cautiously, trembled thin with excitement.
She had only received luxury bags as gifts so far, never real estate.
It was annoying that he hid such a valuable property, but if he returned it to my name now.
“What is it, a building that will be mine in the future.”
As Okhee looked at him as if asking what he was talking about, Seontae spread his arms.
Let’s embrace first.
In the arms of Okhee who clung to him, Seontae patiently explained.
Okhee’s pupils, who had been listening calmly, sparkled like sunlight-soaked glass marbles.
“Goodness, Sajun said he would transfer the land and give you all these buildings if he lives with that woman like a man and man?”
Perhaps because she was going to be the successor of the family, the class was different. Two buildings, not bags or anything.
It was a bit twisted that the woman Sajun chose was not my daughter, Min Taehui.
But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like a killing-two-birds-with-one-stone proposal.
Even without it, the mother and daughter who didn’t leave and lingered around were annoying.
But now both the mother and daughter disappeared cleanly, and two lucrative buildings appeared.
The monthly income from the two buildings alone was at least several billion won.
“That’s right.”
To Okhee’s arrogant answer, Okhee asked again for confirmation.
“Then, is that woman finally leaving Ilsan? You won’t have any contact or meet her for the rest of your life?”
“Oh, can’t you trust your husband?”
Seontae, with a lot of force on his shoulders, squinted his eyes.
At that, Okhee gently smiled, hugged Seontae’s neck, and pressed her body against him.
“It’s not that I can’t trust you, but there are a lot of hurt feelings. It seems like you can’t let go of that woman.”
Even though he could drive away the mother and daughter anytime, Seontae didn’t do that.
As if tightly holding Seontae’s secret as a weakness, Seontae also knew that he was the only one who could turn Okhee’s inside out.
So Okhee was more curious about her husband’s thoughts on the mother and daughter than anything else.
“I have a lot on my mind, so that’s why. As a wife, shouldn’t I take responsibility for you and our connection? It’s all for today if I nag you about that woman and Taehui.”
“Then, do you give me the monthly income from one building as my allowance?”
“Huh?”
Surprised, Seontae blinked his eyes stupidly.
“Oh my, anyway, the ownership is all yours. So, you and I each use the rent as our allowance. Can’t you do that either?”
Since the incident at the department store, the relationship between the couple has not been good.
A local gossipmonger found out that Sajun and Taehui were dating, and she also saw that Seontae did not follow her.
So the looks of the people in the neighborhood who looked at her were strange.
Now, even though she was a respectable wife, she felt like she was being treated like a mistress.
People whisper as she passes by, keep their distance.
The woman, perhaps belatedly finding joy in making friends, invited the neighborhood people, including a gossiping lady, to her house.
The atmosphere in the neighborhood was strange, and Seontae also acted strangely, as if he had embraced the madness like the woman.
Although she wasn’t someone who would easily be fooled like that woman, still, every passing day felt like sitting on thorns.
“Why can’t you? Of course, I can do that!”
Okhee felt like she had been compensated for all the heartache she had endured with Seontae’s answer.
Seontae said with a stern expression.
“Instead, you should manage Yeonseo so that she doesn’t engage in frivolous acts. Taehui needs to marry Sajun for those buildings to become mine. Oh, well. Be kind to Hyesook too.”
“I understand. If there were such deep intentions, you should have told me. I didn’t know that and felt sad, so I got jealous.”
Okhee laughed playfully and made a coquettish sound.
“Handling external matters is my job as a man. You just need to manage the household well.”
Although a large hand stealthily intruded into her skirt, Okhee did not slap that hand.
Instead, she pressed her body first and whispered into Seontae’s ear. Let’s go to the bedroom.
Nestled in Seontae’s arms, heading towards the bedroom, Okhee vowed.
This time, she would definitely chase away that mother-daughter thorn from her husband’s side forever.
And the two people who were absorbed in each other didn’t know even in their dreams.
That Yeonseo, who was coming down to drink water, was sitting at the very end of the stairs on this floor, listening to the entire conversation.
He grabbed Sajun’s coat, which had led her to the front door, half with affection and half impulsively.
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.”
