“Is what Kwak Seo-yoon said true?”
“…….”
Heejun was taken aback, unable to deny it because it hit too close to home.
“Really? I just heard it casually.”
Lee Hyun, looking awkward, ran his index finger slowly over his eyebrows.
“Go and tell Kwak Seo-yoon.”
“What, what should I say?”
“That my secretary and I seem to have a very serious relationship.”
“What?”
“Especially that I’m deeply in love with Yerin.”
“…….”
“So, it seems like there’s no room for you to interfere.”
It seemed like he had seen through everything.
Unable to respond due to his confusion, Heejun’s gaze was diverted from Lee Hyun.
“And don’t show up in front of my girlfriend again.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“Threatening? I don’t do such things.”
“Then what do you call this right now?”
“It’s more like a warning.”
Lee Hyun patted Heejun’s shoulder twice with one hand and turned away.
He confirmed that Lee Hyun entered the villa where Yerin lived, and Heejun shouted into the air.
“Hey, really! Nothing good ever happens!”
He knew that Lee Hyun was not an ordinary person, but he was beyond his expectations.
“Kwak Seo-yoon, this woman for real!”
Seoyoon knew that the person who kept spewing lies every time he opened his mouth.
But after hearing that Yerin still had lingering feelings, he was so happy that his judgment was not functioning properly, so he ended up in this predicament with Lee Hyun today.
Even so, it didn’t matter.
Since she was once his woman, what’s so difficult about having her again?
Even if Yerin didn’t have any lingering feelings for him, it didn’t matter.
He just needed to make her like him again.
A moment ago, Lee Hyun’s words, accompanied by a cold gaze, passed through Heejun’s ears.
Heejun shook his head vigorously as if trying to shake off those words.
“Do you think I’ll be shaken by such a warning?”
Heejun glanced at the entrance of the villa where Yerin and Lee Hyun disappeared, his eyes full of resentment.
“Thank you for your hard work today.”
As Lee Hyun entered Yerin’s villa, he was on a call with someone.
“In the future, if you see anyone strange while watching from afar, please contact me immediately.”
-Yes, Director. I will do that.
After ending the call, Lee Hyun let out a short breath.
A few days ago, when he visited Yerin’s house.
He saw the light in the unoccupied house, and although he would have usually ignored it, seeing Yerin pondering over it made Lee Hyun think that something was odd.
During their conversation, he kept hearing rustling sounds from outside and had a strange intuition.
He came down to check the black-box video and found someone wearing an inverted cap.
Although the face was not clearly visible due to the darkness, Lee Hyun felt uneasy for no reason, so he hired a personal bodyguard and attached him to Yerin.
She asked me to observe her from a distance so that she wouldn’t feel burdened. If anything unusual happens before she arrives, she even requested me to appear like a passerby and protect Yerin.
Today’s planning team meeting was supposed to be quite long. Yerin asked me to come early to have dinner together, but during the meeting, I received a call from the security guard that Yerin seemed to have met a man in front of her house. Lee Hyun hurriedly left the meeting room.
After facing Heejun and carefully thinking about it, he realized that the person captured on his black box seemed to be the one. The body shape and walking style were quite similar.
“I warned him today, so he probably won’t come for a while.”
It was quite nerve-wracking to know that Heejun, who visited today, knew Yerin’s house. He couldn’t always take care of Yerin’s shortcut, so he was just worried.
However, it was not his place to recklessly step forward and unnecessarily create anxiety for Yerin. His first thought was to ask the personal bodyguard to pay more attention to Yerin’s shortcut when he couldn’t accompany her home.
With that thought, Lee Hyun climbed the stairs and arrived in front of Yerin’s house.
Knock, knock.
Yerin’s voice was heard from inside, “Is it Mr. Lee Hyun?”
“Yes, that’s me.”
Recognizing the pleasant mid-low voice, Yerin slowly opened the door. Lee Hyun, now familiar with Yerin’s house after several visits, naturally stepped inside.
On the dining table was a packed lunch box from a Hanjeongsik restaurant that he had personally brought.
“I talked to that man and sent him away.”
“Thank you.”
“I didn’t do much.”
After washing his hands and sitting down, Yerin also picked up her chopsticks.
“Since you’re hungry, let’s eat quickly.”
“Yes, I’ll enjoy it.”
Watching Yerin pick up side dishes with chopsticks, Lee Hyun put down his own chopsticks.
“Doesn’t it suit your taste?”
“No, it’s delicious.”
Yerin took a sip of water and cautiously spoke.
“I’m telling you this just in case you might misunderstand.”
“Yes, tell me.”
“The man from earlier, I didn’t call him.”
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?”
