Yoon burst into laughter when she saw the table Kang Hyun had set. She thought his house must be full of instant foods.
On a unique white plate, there was a French toast with one side severely burned, scrambled eggs that looked quite dry, and a fruit salad that was sloshing around on the pretty plate.
“You won’t die.”
Kang Hyun spoke as he stuffed a piece of toast, even more burnt than Yoon’s, into his mouth.
“Yes, I’ll eat well.”
Yoon responded with a laugh.
“Good, eat a lot.”
Yoon tried the scrambled eggs on her plate. It seemed like a bit too much salt had been added. Actually, it wasn’t a bit; it looked like it had been accidentally dumped in.
Nevertheless, Yoon enjoyed it. It was because Kang Hyun, with his clumsy skills, had prepared breakfast for her.
“It’s delicious.”
Yoon smiled brightly. So what if the toast was burnt and the scrambled eggs were a bit rubbery?
She just couldn’t help but smile, sitting at the kitchen table bathed in sunshine, eating the warm breakfast that Kang Hyun had made for her.
“You don’t have to force yourself to eat.”
Kang Hyun, who was pushing the toast in his mouth with juice, spoke with a grimace.
“I’m not forcing myself to eat. Besides, you made this for me, Kang Hyun. I’m going to eat it all.”
Yoon replied, her eyes sparkling.
“I didn’t force you.”
“Yes.”
However, strangely enough, it was the best toast Yoon had ever had.
Even the faint smell of burnt toast still lingering in the kitchen seemed savory to her.
“By the way, what about Director Kwak?”
“He left earlier. I just need to drop you off.”
“Oh.”
Yoon was worried at the thought of riding in Kang Hyun’s car. The last time he came to pick her up, she had been caught by Shin Joo.
Yoon knew Kang Hyun’s car was foreignmade, but she had no idea it was so expensive and famous.
“By the way, is your car really that expensive, Kang Hyun? It’s said that only a few are imported into our country…..”
“Uhhuh.”
“It seems that some teacher at our school saw it when you came to pick me up last time. The teacher said, only someone of Kang Hyun’s caliber could afford such a car.”
Yoon thought her heart had sunk when Shin Joo mentioned Kang Hyun’s car that day.
“Is that so?”
Kang Hyun grimaced, finding the scrambled eggs too salty.
“So, what I mean is… I think it’s better for me to just take the subway.”
“Why?”
“Your car stands out too much.”
It was time for school, so even the students might see it this time.
“I drive it because it’s meant to stand out.”
Kang Hyun found it fascinating that Yoon was the first to react this way. Everyone else seemed to want to ride it at least once.
“I don’t want to stand out. I’ll just take the subway.”
“Then you’ll be late?”
“If I prepare quickly and leave now, it will be fine.”
“Then I’ll drop you off a little distance away from the school.”
However, it was a little distance away from the school last time, yet it caught Shin Joo’s eye.
“Just…..”
Yoon shrank back. She felt sorry for continuously refusing him, but the car was still too burdensome.
“So, is it a big deal if other people notice? Why are you so sensitive?”
Kang Hyun, perhaps unable to eat any more, pushed the scrambled eggs aside.
“I just don’t like being the subject of people’s gossip.”
However, Yoon scraped her plate clean of her portion of scrambled eggs.
“Does it bother you that much?”
Kang Hyun pushed aside the lonely piece of burnt toast that still remained on her plate and pushed the salad plate towards her instead.
“Because it’s not a car ordinary people can afford, so inevitably a bit…..”
“Got it. Then today we’ll go in a different car.”
Kang Hyun spoke indifferently.
“Huh? You have another car?”
Yoon was once again struck by the fact that he was wealthy. It didn’t seem strange that Kang Hyun would have a few more cars.
Having finished preparing for work, Yoon went downstairs and entered the room where the hedgehog was.
‘He’s asleep.’
Claiming to be nocturnal, the creature was deep in slumber. The enclosure was messy, probably from running around and playing all night.
‘I’ll clean it up when I get back.’
It seemed to match her rhythm quite well, sleeping during the day and active at night.
‘Oh, I should name you. What should I call you?’
Ho Jung’s son had called it Cola, but she wanted to give it a better name. Since it was male, a lively name seemed fitting.
However, no suitable name for the adorable creature came to mind right away, so she decided to simply call it ‘Do Chi’ for the time being.
‘Mr. Kang said he trimmed your nails, they’re clean.’
Smiling at the adorable Do Chi’s feet, Yoon cautiously poured mealworms into the food bowl, worrying he might wake up, and provided water before leaving the room.
Kang Hyun’s other car was also foreignmade. At least this car was a more common foreign car, one that Yoon recognized.
“Wouldn’t it be too late if you take me to our school and then go to your office, Kang Hyun?”
“If it’s late, it’s late. I’m the CEO, who will say something?”
“That’s nice. I’m envious.”
Yoon said, full of envy.
“Envious?”
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?”
