At Seo-yeon’s words, Kwon-yul approached and stood close.
Then, against the backdrop of fluttering confetti, they took several photos.
In reality, at this moment, Kwon-yul wanted to tenderly embrace Seo-yeon, hold her hand, and kiss her.
But he decided to wait for another 30 minutes.
This agonizing time of patience would soon come to an end.
“CEO Han!”
As Kwon-yul lowered his phone, Min-hyuk approached Seo-yeon abruptly.
“Let’s take a commemorative photo too.”
“CEO Choi, what are you talking about?”
Amidst the loud music, when Seo-yeon asked loudly, Min-hyuk gestured to a nearby photographer.
Then, revealing his position, he asked to take a photo.
The photographer readily approached and said, “Could both of you stand together? I’ll take a wonderful shot.”
Seo-yeon, who had taken numerous photos with various people, couldn’t refuse Min-hyuk’s suggestion.
Reluctantly, she stood next to Min-hyuk, and the photographer incessantly pressed the camera shutter.
“A bit more, could you stand affectionately together? Oh yes. CEO Choi, smile like CEO Han.”
Following his instructions, Seo-yeon gazed up at Min-hyuk with a smile.
At that moment, a ‘click’ sound of the shutter was heard.
“Seo-yeon, why are you so stiff like this?”
“CEO Choi, let me put my hand on Seo-yeon’s shoulder like Yul-ssi earlier. Make it look natural.”
Laughing at Min-hyuk’s coaching, Seo-yeon reluctantly moved her body to the side.
Then, Min-hyuk’s large hand touched her shoulder as he raised the corners of his mouth nicely.
“Quickly take the picture.”
As Min-hyuk raised the corners of his mouth, the camera shutter made a loud noise.
“Oh! You two look great together.”
Friends looked at the two with satisfaction and cheered before leaving.
“Seo-yeon, why are you so embarrassed? Smile widely.”
Embarrassed by her friends’ scolding, Seo-yeon awkwardly moved her body.
Then, as Min-hyuk handed his business card to the photographer and discussed the photos, Seo-yeon quickly scanned Kwon-yul’s expression.
Their eyes met, and although his mouth lifted slightly, his gaze seemed chilly.
As Seo-yeon glanced at Kwon-yul’s expression, Manager Kim approached.
“CEO, it seems you should start wrapping up now.”
“Ah, yes. Let’s go.”
Seo-yeon pointed to the stage, signaling that she would be back, and Kwon-yul nodded slowly, raising the corners of his mouth a bit more.
Returning to the stage, Seo-yeon shouted to everyone.
“Today, was it fun?”
“Yes!”
With enthusiastic responses, Seo-yeon smiled brightly.
“There’s something I’d like to tell you.”
In Seo-yeon’s hand was a transparent bag given as an entrance gift.
“In the gifts given to the gentlemen today, there’s a T-shirt like the one I gave Kwon-yul.”
It had a clean and sophisticated design with prominent lettering on a short-sleeved shirt.
“As a result of the positive response from all of you and active promotion on social media… I’ll bring an even hotter party next year!”
In fact, while creating clothes for Kwon-yul, Seo-yeon felt the unique charm and fun of men’s clothing.
Since today’s event was arranged to promote the product, she wanted to advertise various things until the end.
“Well, that’s it for today! Please be careful on your way out.”
With Seo-yeon’s words, the event came to an end.
Those who were left with regret either gathered for a second meeting or left the venue shaking glow sticks.
Amidst this, Seo-yeon was busy saying farewell to celebrities.
Kwon-yul, anticipating Seo-yeon’s return with a glad heart after the successful event, needed to move to the wine bar he had reserved.
However, Seo-yeon, who was too busy, stood in front of the VIPs and employees.
“Today’s successful event is all thanks to all of you. You’ve worked really hard.”
Seo-yeon applauded her employees with a bright face.
Then, asking for the final event, she handed a black card to Director Kim.
“Director Kim, please arrange a beef dinner.”
Min-hyuk looked at Seo-yeon, who took care of the employees meticulously, with an affectionate gaze.
Seo-yeon finished everything and approached her friends.
“Seo-yeon, you’ve worked hard.”
In response to her friends’ encouragement, Seo-yeon shrugged her shoulders.
“Can you wait for about 30 minutes?”
“Why? Is there still work to do?”
“No. CEO Choi said he has something to say. It won’t take long.”
Then, meaningful smiles appeared on the faces of her friends.
“Sure. Go quickly. You can talk for as long as you want. We can wait all night.”
At that moment, Kwon-yul slowly approached Seo-yeon.
“Seo-yeon-ssi, did you bring your car?”
Then, gradually closing the distance, he faced Seo-yeon.
“No. I thought we might drink, so I didn’t bring it.”
With eyes dripping with honey, Kwon-yul effortlessly touched Seo-yeon’s forehead.
At that moment, the friends’ eyes widened.
“Then, let’s all go in my car.”
“Yes. Thank you for waiting today.”
“No, you’ve worked so hard today.”
As Kwon-yul gently touched Seo-yeon’s cheek, Hyun-woo and Seo-hee couldn’t close their mouths.
Kwon-yul’s bold behavior, unlike usual, seemed strangely unusual.
“Can you wait a little longer?”
As Seo-yeon asked, Kwon-yul nodded, and they subtly held hands.
All eyes turned to the intertwined hands of the two.
Unable to bear it any longer, Min-hyuk stepped forward.
“…CEO Han.”
His somewhat stiff voice called out to Seo-yeon.
“What exactly is the relationship between you two?”
Everyone was curious, but Min-hyuk was the first to ask the question that no one dared to speak out loud.
Kwon-yul, with his deep gaze, looked at Min-hyuk and opened his mouth on behalf of Seo-yeon.
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?”
