From Jun’s face reflected in the rearview mirror, a faint tiredness seemed to emanate. It was probably because of Juwon.
After work, he takes care of childcare and even handles early morning childcare. Even Jun, with beast-like stamina, eventually collapsed in front of childcare.
It’s not physical but mental that collapsed.
Jun found it strange and amusing when Taehee made a joke about it.
“Oh, now that Jun’s age has changed to the 30s, there’s nothing he can do.”
“If you see something you can’t help, come to my place early in the morning and do it together. Don’t just talk big like a mafia boss; prove it with action. Right away, from tomorrow morning.”
After that, he received a threatening warning that made his flesh crawl.
“Hyung, quickly get married and build a family. Because if you don’t get married, the iron hasn’t entered yet, so you’re living like that.”
Not only did he receive threats, but he also heard marriage nagging from family members.
That too, with a very arrogant look and expression.
What’s it to you how I live? What’s wrong with enjoying it when you can? And marriage, am I supposed to do it alone? I need a woman for that.
Enduring the sadness, how much did he have to bear to avoid confrontation.
Even so, Taehee knew Jun’s personality well enough to endure.
If you don’t want to change diapers under the tiger-like surveillance of Jun, who is called in the early morning, that is.
After running for about 30 minutes, the car arrived at the hotel parking lot.
Before Jinwon could say that he had arrived, Jun slowly opened his eyes.
What kind of nerve is it to ask me to say it if you’re going to do that?
Before Jinwon got out, Jun opened the car door and got out first.
With every crossing of Jun’s long muscular legs wrapped in a high-quality suit, the distance between Jinwon and him gradually increased.
“Let’s go together, sir.”
Jinwon, who got out of the car, hastily followed Jun.
Although it was clearly a slow walk, because of the difference in leg length, he had to walk fast to match his stride.
Even while walking with a wide stride as if his legs were tearing apart, he looked at the back of his superior with admiration.
Although the sight of walking with both hands in the pants pocket, not fastening the jacket with the buttons, seemed delinquent, it was arrogant yet elegant.
The knit tee supporting instead of a dress shirt, and the white sneakers instead of dress shoes.
Jinwon wanted to follow that stylish style like Jun, but he couldn’t do it.
Jun is the CEO, and he is just a secretary. He had to maintain formality anytime, anywhere.
Once again, feeling the taste of fashion’s regret, Jinwon, who entered the elevator with Jun, wrinkled his nose unknowingly.
“Sir, did you happen to change your perfume?”
Jun looked at Jinwon as if asking what he was talking about.
“I’m saying it because it seems like there’s a sweet smell around you these days.”
The elevator opened just in time.
Jun, who got off before Jinwon, answered nonchalantly.
What perfume, it’s probably the smell of baby formula.
With an admiring look once again, Jinwon flicked his thumb behind Jun.
Even a cool guy becomes even cooler when he becomes a dad, and the smell of baby formula is like a fragrant perfume.
Western Hotel Marketing Department intern. It was Taehee’s first job and a new beginning.
After three months, she would become a regular employee, but as Jinwon requested, the start was truly from scratch.
Was that frustrating? No, it was even better. Knowing that there is only going up without going down anymore is such a blessing.
Today, there were a total of 8 interns who joined the Western Hotel with Taehee.
Excluding Taehee, the other 7 seemed so green that you could see the freshness as if they had just graduated from college.
They seemed nervous and made a lot of mistakes due to tension, but Taehee was an exception.
Having endured six years in a large construction company and resigned just before being promoted to team leader, she belonged to the category of advanced experienced professionals.
Although the field was different, the situation of returning to the company was the same. She was proficient not only in basic document and report writing but also in flashy techniques if needed.
That’s it. Although the intern is older, he knew how to smoothly deal with people, smiling and talking.
From the first day, Taehee attracted the attention of colleagues, and the department head praised her excessively, saying that they finally sent a proper intern from the upper management.
“They used to send only those who knew how to type, but this time, why did they select properly? That’s why you shouldn’t ignore someone just because they’re old. What’s the use of qualifications? You need to be strong in practical situations like Taehee. Her computer skills are better than our Deputy Kim’s. Welcome to the marketing team.”
While saying this, when the department head stamped a few colleagues with approval, those colleagues returned disapproving glances to Taehee.
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?”
