My Husband's Lover (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
On a weekday evening, Shin Gyu Shik entered a café that felt somehow chilly due to the sparse crowd, his expression grim.
He’d been utterly bewildered when he received a text from the woman—never expecting to hear from her again. But that bewilderment was quickly replaced by anxiety: what fresh trouble awaited him now?
As Shin Gyu Shik stepped inside, tense and on edge, his eyes immediately fell on a woman sitting alone in a corner, her back perfectly straight. He sat down opposite her, forcing a calm expression, and she opened her lips to speak.
“I didn’t call you back for any other reason.”
Min Hae Yeon, with her refined features, spoke in a tone firm and resolute—sharply contrasting her soft-looking face. That familiar way of speaking made his heart flutter again; after all, ever since that day he’d spoken with her in that very tone, Shin Gyu Shik’s life had plummeted into ruin.
He remained unaware that, given what he’d done, he hadn’t yet faced a punishment severe enough.
“There’s still something unresolved from your time at Dally Coffee—something you left behind before resigning.”
“What… what did I even do…?”
“Polly Day Back.”
Shin Gyu Shik swallowed hard. He knew exactly what “Polly Day Back” referred to—not merely because it was Dally Coffee’s biggest event and he’d once worked there.
After all, he was the one who’d leaked the winning number for the Polly Day Back raffle.
From past experience, Shin Gyu Shik knew with painful certainty that denying it to Min Hae Yeon would be utterly pointless. Still, her coming in person likely meant she needed concrete evidence—and just in case, he’d kept some.
Thinking quickly, Shin Gyu Shik composed his expression. At this point, his only chance of escaping this endless despair and salvaging what remained of his life was to strike a deal with Min Hae Yeon sitting right before him.
“I’ll give you what you want—but I’ll need something in return as well.”
“Of course. I always settle accounts clearly.”
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.”
