The moment she first found out about the affair was a tremendous shock. It was unbelievable that her husband, holding another woman’s hand, was spouting nonsense like, “My love has become a sin.”
“Lee Seung Oh, you’ve been caught cheating, and you’re going to get divorced. Do you not understand the situation?”
“That’s why you have to choose, Yoon Seo Ha. Whether to really get divorced or to continue living as a married couple.”
They had been friends and lovers since they were very young. That’s why Lee Seung Oh knew all too well how much Yoon Seo Ha loved him.
This was the source of his disgusting confidence.
“If you’re going to talk about living as a married couple, let go of her hand first.”
“No, I can’t let go of this hand.”
Lee Seung Oh, who knew all too well that Seo Ha wouldn’t leave him, held Ji Soo’s hand even tighter.
“Seo Ha, you have so much. Ji Soo only has me. Whether we divorce or not, I will love and protect Ji Soo until the end.”
“Oppa…”
Touched by his words, Lee Ji Soo teared up and leaned her head gently against Seung Oh. Was it an illusion that she saw a victorious smile at the corner of her mouth?
Yoon Seo Ha felt her head go empty. Her previous confidence was gone, and only a miserable feeling that had fallen to rock bottom remained. The time spent together and the memories of love tore at her heart like rusty saw blades.
“Wait a moment, honey. We”
It was when halfdistracted Seo Ha opened her mouth.
Behind Lee Seung Oh and Lee Ji Soo, who had become the lovers of the century and held hands tightly, a familiar person appeared.
‘Executive assistant Ryu?’
No matter when he had been there, blinking and looking again, it was Ryu Kyung Joon. He was sitting alone on the sofa with his legs crossed, staring at them. When his eyes met Seo Ha’s, he smirked.
As if splashed with cold water, Seo Ha’s senses snapped back. It would have been much better to tie a yellow bungee cord around her waist and jump off the 63 Building than to cling pathetically to Lee Seung Oh and let Ryu Kyung Joon see her like this.
“What were we?”
Seung Oh urged her. Seo Ha averted her gaze from Kyung Joon and took a sip of her cold coffee. The caffeine quickly kicked in, and her mind cleared up even more.
“… We’re getting a clean divorce, right? Don’t sue for property division later. Most of the property was formed before the marriage, so it’s not even subject to division.”
Seung Oh’s expression became a little dumbfounded.
“I also agree that it’s tiring to hear all these complaints after everything’s over. Let’s tell both our mothers after the paperwork is done and you submit your resignation.”
“Reresignation?”
This time, Lee Seung Oh’s voice trembled. Seo Ha shrugged her shoulders like he had done earlier.
“Why are you so surprised? You’re not planning to keep working at my mom’s company after getting caught cheating with our housemaid’s daughter and getting divorced, are you?”
He must have believed he would inherit Kang Yoon Company someday. It was such a pathetic life plan.
“Let’s not touch the company. You always said we should clearly separate public and private matters.”
“Stop talking nonsense, Lee Seung Oh.”
Seung Oh was taken aback by Seo Ha’s swearing, which he had never heard before in his life.
“What did you say?”
“I said I knew you were a bastard, so just shut up and go get your stamp. For both the divorce papers and the resignation.”
“Ah, Miss! Your words are too harsh!”
As Ji Soo tried to raise her voice in protest, Seung Oh calmed her down and glared.
“Yoon Seo Ha, were you always such a vulgar woman?”
“No matter how vulgar I become, I’ll still be more refined than you and your lover.”
Seo Ha rebuffed Lee Seung Oh’s criticism, which didn’t sound like him at all, and stood up from her seat.
“You don’t have to sneakily laugh, Miss Lee Ji Soo.”
Upon hearing her name, Ji Soo clung tightly to Seung Oh.
“That man is not a dragon rising from a small stream, he’s just a small stream. Will he even have enough money to rent a small room after paying me alimony?”
Seung Oh’s face contorted more than ever before. Ji Soo’s confused expression as she stared at him was quite amusing. It felt like the stuffiness she had felt for a while was finally subsiding.
“He’ll probably cheat again. The first time was easy, so the second time will be a piece of cake. I hope that woman will be a bit better than Ji Soo.”
Throwing out words that were closer to certainty than badmouthing, Seo Ha held out her palm to Seung Oh. She could still feel Seung Oh’s blatant gaze on her from the sofa.
“Hand it over.”
“What?”
“The car key. We’re taking our property in our respective names, have you already forgotten?”
Seung Oh clenched his teeth and took out the car key. Seo Ha snatched it quickly, hooked the keyring onto her finger, and threw a farewell smile.
“Take care. Did I ever say that you two make a great couple?”
Tock, tock.
The cold sound of her high heels tapping receded between the elegant classical melodies.
“Ooppa.”
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.”
