Watching the Noh twins, Ilhoon and Ihun, making a fuss, Taeyeon could only awkwardly smile.
Were they originally such friendly people?
Thinking about that, as she was about to pass through the guest house yard.
Ilhoon and Ihun tossed their badminton rackets on the ground and began approaching Taeyeon with quick steps.
Taeyeon, glancing at the two men, unconsciously hastened her steps.
From behind, Ilhoon loudly called out to Taeyeon.
“We’re definitely not weird people!”
It seemed like Taeyeon noticed their attempt to get away from them with all her might.
“Oh, yes.”
“We’re on our first trip to Busan, and we keep talking to you just because we’re so glad to meet you.”
“Is it uncomfortable for us to strike up a conversation?”
Hesitating for a moment at that question, Taeyeon honestly replied.
“Well, yes, it’s a bit like that.”
Upon hearing Taeyeon’s sincere words, Ilhoon and Ihun simultaneously wore wounded expressions.
“Oh, well… It’s just that… I haven’t had much experience talking to strangers like you two. It’s not that I dislike you or anything.”
After hearing Taeyeon’s explanation, the two men searched their pockets and pulled out their wallets simultaneously.
Then, they handed their business cards to Taeyeon.
“Really, we’re not weird people. We even work for a reliable company.”
Reluctantly, Taeyeon accepted the business cards the two men were offering.
“Huh?”
The place they belonged to was a well-known security company in Korea.
Especially, it was a place she had heard of before, as they belonged to the security team of KK Foods.
Showing their employee ID cards with faces embedded, the two men did their best to ease Taeyeon’s guard.
“We’re people who protect others.”
“Although we may look a little scary, we never harm or do anything like that.”
Because of their constant self-promotion, Taeyeon burst into a small laugh, finding the situation too amusing.
She felt sorry for misjudging the situation and being unnecessarily cautious.
“I’m sorry. I came alone on a trip, so I’ve become a bit more guarded.”
“That can happen.”
Holding Ilhoon and Ihun’s business cards, Taeyeon gave a slight bow.
“Well then, have fun.”
Although she gave a general name, that was all.
She hadn’t come down here to meet new people.
She just needed time alone.
As Taeyeon, crossing the guest house yard, became smaller.
Ilhoon and Ihun looked embarrassed.
“We haven’t even asked where she’s going.”
“Hey, she’s being cautious because you look so rugged.”
“What? If I look rugged, you do too. If I’m rugged, you’re rugged too.”
“Really, is that how it works?”
While Ilhoon was scratching the back of his head.
Taeyeon gradually moved farther away.
“Hey, we shouldn’t lose her. Let’s follow her from a distance.”
So, Ilhoon and Ihun began to follow Taeyeon’s path from a very far distance.
The place Taeyeon entered was a nearby mart.
“You push the cart.”
“Wow, why do I always end up doing the dirty work like this?”
Due to Ihun taking the lead, Ilhoon had no choice but to push the shopping cart.
Standing where she could see, Taeyeon casually picked up various items.
At that moment.
Taeyeon, who should be visible after turning the corner, disappeared, causing Ilhoon and Ihun to exchange glances simultaneously, looking perplexed.
“Hey, where did she go?”
“We should have kept an eye on her. I didn’t see because I was busy pushing the cart.”
The two men, who were rolling their feet out of sync with their bulky builds, were startled by a delicate voice from behind.
“Mr. Ilhoon, Mr. Ihun?”
“Huh? Mrs…. No, Ms. Taeyeon?”
Taeyeon had an extremely embarrassed expression when she unexpectedly met the two men here.
Ilhoon smiled with a friendly smile as he pushed the cart.
“Hahaha. We came here to buy some things we need. Is that the case for you too, Taeyeon?”
“Yes……”
Thinking that Taeyeon might feel uncomfortable if they kept talking, Ihun left first.
“Then, enjoy your shopping.”
“Yes.”
“Oh, right, if you’re going to buy a lot, shall we help you carry it?”
“No, it’s okay.”
“All right then.”
Ilhoon pushed the shopping cart and distanced himself from Taeyeon again.
Meeting Ilhoon and Ihun again in a corner, the two men whispered quietly.
“Looking at the cart she’s holding, she seems to have a lot of stuff.”
“Let’s go out and come back in to help her carry it. How about that?”
“That sounds good. If Madam knows that we’re carrying her heavy luggage, we’re done.”
Ilhoon and Ihun emptied the randomly placed items in the cart, only calculated two light beverages, and waited for Taeyeon outside.
A while later.
Meeting Taeyeon as she came out after paying, the two men were amazed at the fate they had.
“Madam… No, Taeyeon. The items we intended to buy aren’t here, so we came out empty-handed.”
“We wanted to carry that for you. It looks heavy and seems like it would be good exercise.”
As if receiving an order, the two men couldn’t take their eyes off Taeyeon’s slender wrist, where a shopping bag was hanging.
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.”
