“Ah, you really are Mr. Cha Do Jun…… Hello. I’m Park Nari, Tae Yeon’s friend.”
Nari asked Tae Yeon in a small voice.
“Did you decide your husband would come today?”
“No…….”
Tae Yeon also had the same expression as Nari. Tae Yeon looked at Do Jun, who was sitting next to her, with an astonished look.
It was a face that was curious why Do Jun, who had promised to have dinner with President Jin, appeared out of nowhere here.
An employee came over and handed Do Jun a red apron, and Do Jun received it, hung it around his neck, and murmured softly.
“I stopped by because I wanted to have dinner with Jin Tae Yeon. Ah, did I interrupt your precious time by any chance?”
To that question, Nari denied it with a wave of her hand.
“No. I was just curious what kind of person Tae Yeon’s husband was.”
“Is that so.”
At the words that she was curious about him, the corners of Do Jun’s mouth went up even further.
Nari, about to serve the tteokbokki to Do Jun’s plate, paused.
“Oh, don’t you eat this kind of food?”
Do Jun reached out and took the plate that Nari handed him. Then, he pulled the plate toward him with a grin.
“I eat it. Tteokbokki.”
“I thought chaebols didn’t eat this sort of thing.”
“Nari.”
Tae Yeon quietly called out to Nari, who had opened her mouth with a good mood. Nari just shrugged her shoulders and looked at Do Jun as if she was curious.
“Because it’s what my wife eats. I’m curious about the taste.”
Do Jun picked up a piece of tteokbokki and put it into his mouth. After a few chews, he nodded his head, showing a satisfied face.
“It’s delicious.”
Nari looked at Do Jun as if she was curious. Tae Yeon broke up the gaze of the two.
“Do Jun, it seems your dinner with your father ended early.”
“To be exact, I ended it early.”
“Why……”
“I think I mentioned earlier. I came because I wanted to have dinner with Jin Tae Yeon.”
Nari’s mouth was wide open. Then she noticed the subtle emotional line between the two and laughed as if it was interesting.
Tae Yeon asked as if it was strange.
“You wanted to have dinner with me?”
“Yes. You seem to have not eaten much, so please eat quickly, Jin Tae Yeon.”
Do Jun glanced at the tteokbokki on Tae Yeon’s plate. Then, he said one more thing, conscious of Nari sitting in front of him.
“Do I have to feed you to eat today as well?”
“Eh? No!”
The memory of feeding Tae Yeon at dinner came to mind. His affectionate gaze and touch also naturally followed.
There was no need to act like that in front of Nari. Tae Yeon abruptly picked up her chopsticks and put the tteokbokki between her red lips.
‘I should have just fed her without asking.’
Do Jun, not picking up his spoon, just stared at Tae Yeon chewing the tteokbokki. Her figure, which was cute like a squirrel, unknowingly put a leisurely smile on Do Jun’s lips.
Nari looked back and forth between Tae Yeon and Do Jun and laughed as if it was interesting.
“How do you find living with Tae Yeon since you came to Korea?”
Do Jun spat out the words without hesitation.
“It’s fun.”
“…….”
Tae Yeon’s hand slowed down.
“Although we got married first, it’s also fun to get to know my wife late.”
Do Jun looked up at Nari once and then fixed his gaze on Tae Yeon.
“It’s interesting and good.”
Tae Yeon slowly raised her eyelids and looked at Do Jun.
Looking at Do Jun’s deep pupils, it felt like she was being sucked into them.
It was a sincere gaze.
Even knowing that it couldn’t be, she simultaneously felt a longing to believe it was so.
She realized Do Jun’s intention to put on a perfect act of a married couple even in front of Nari, and Tae Yeon soon bit her lip.
Wondering what was so amusing, Nari covered her mouth with both hands and stamped her feet in glee.
Just then, Do Jun’s phone, which he had put in his jacket pocket, rang.
After checking the caller, Do Jun excused himself and left his seat.
Upon seeing Tae Yeon, Nari hastily struck up a conversation.
“Hey, what’s this! What’s up with this weird vibe between your husband and you?”
“Strange? Mr. Do Jun is just putting on an act of a sweet couple because he’s in front of you.”
“Acting?”
“Yes. He did the same when he met my sister.”
“No, wait a minute.”
Nari recalled the appearance of Do Jun she had seen a while ago, pondering over what Tae Yeon had just said.
“Acting? The look in your husband’s eyes was sincere though?”
“He’s a good actor. I’ve seen that look many times.”
“When?”
“Even when we were dining with my sister….”
There were often fleeting glances between the two.
However, she couldn’t bring herself to say that out loud. He was a man who could feign such a look even when he was with her.
In order to clarify any misunderstandings Nari might have had, Tae Yeon opened her mouth.
“Anyway, it’s not what you think.”
“Not?”
“Yes. As you know, we can’t have any rumors about our marital relationship being bad. He always gives his best no matter where he is.”
Nari tilted her head as if she couldn’t believe it.
“That’s strange. It seemed like the look of a man seeing a woman he really likes.”
Even though Tae Yeon had denied it, Nari could not ask any further. However, she didn’t seem to be satisfied with that conclusion.

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.”
