“As part of the overseas business trip schedule, you can argue that we should conduct an arrest investigation by citing an unreasonable overseas escape reason. You should also have sufficient evidence to prove that you were away on business and moved as planned.”
Haein diligently recorded every word that came out of Line’s mouth. Line began to check for any gaps meticulously.
“In order to establish the facts, it’s essential to emphasize that we are doing our best. Make sure to prepare in great detail about how you have faithfully attended all the summons and underwent thorough examinations. Especially when I summoned you…”
Line’s voice trailed off as she remembered how she had held Songkang with an attitude resembling a final debate. Haein understood what Line was trying to say and nodded.
“Was the schedule for Prosecutor Yoon Nansul’s summons properly coordinated?”
“I believe Director Na arranged it. Of course, it might have been a notification from your perspective.”
With a bitter expression, Haein replied, and Line closed her eyes and opened them.
“Anyway, that part can also be shown as a diligent approach to the investigation.”
“Also, we can attribute the past summons mishap to Director Na Songkang. There were quite a few issues with Prosecutor Yoon Nansul’s behavior at that time, as I recall. I’ll check the report for that and respond accordingly.”
Thanks to Line’s meticulous planning, Haein only had to organize her thoughts.
“By the way, when did I report to Director of Legal Affairs? At this rate, I might be informed on the day of the actual arrest warrant hearing.”
There was a trace of sarcasm in her words. Line was thoroughly disgusted by the actions of the Director of Legal Affairs.
While Songkang was confident that Prosecutor Jin Line and Attorney Cha Haein would not allow his arrest, he still had a slight worry in the back of his mind. Therefore, he was determined to scrutinize every detail that he could examine at the company. Just then, a knock on the door was heard, and his secretary entered.
“The Director of Legal Affairs is here.”
“Please, bring him in.”
Songkang motioned for the Director of Legal Affairs to come in, but there was no welcoming gesture.
“Director, the prosecution has requested an arrest warrant.”
Songkang examined the report he wanted to review carefully and then turned his gaze to the Director of Legal Affairs.
“Director, this isn’t the time for this.”
“Why would the Director of Legal Affairs be so calm, and what’s the reason for my urgency?”
When he spoke calmly, the Director of Legal Affairs was momentarily at a loss for words.
“What preparations are being made in the Legal Affairs Department?”
“I will personally handle the defense. Please don’t worry too much…”
That was truly a cause for concern. Songkang smiled somewhat mysteriously.
“No, I don’t want to know who will accompany me, but I want to know how you plan to prove my innocence.”
“Well, we’ll have to hear from the prosecution and decide.”
Did he really think I don’t know? Songkang stood up from his seat and stared at him. The Director of Legal Affairs avoided his gaze.
“Why would the prosecution request an arrest warrant?”
“Well… to give you a sense of disgrace.”
“Ah, they don’t actually intend to arrest you, they just want to make you feel humiliated. That’s why you’re so calm, right?”
It was almost a rebuke. Songkang’s expression became even drier, and the Director of Legal Affairs’ facial muscles stiffened awkwardly.
“Director, this isn’t…”
“When the actual arrest warrant hearing is conducted, it is different from a trial; it proceeds at a fast pace, right? Is that correct?”
“Yes… that’s correct.”
How could he answer so shamelessly?
Songkang didn’t want to mix more words with him. He had no intention of going with the Director of Legal Affairs, and there was even less reason to give him room to prepare.
“The time is running out. My future is in the hands of the Director of Legal Affairs. Please take care of it. I know you’re busy with preparations, so please go now.”
As soon as the Director of Legal Affairs left, Songkang hurriedly headed to where Line and Haein were. The air in the room where the two were seated felt tense.
“Ah, Director, are you here?”
Although it wasn’t the first time they had met today, Haein politely stood up from her seat and greeted him, while Line hesitated whether to get up or not.
“It’s fine. Let’s continue with what we were doing.”
Songkang clapped his hands to urge Line, knowing that trying to exchange greetings with her would be futile.
In the heated atmosphere of the room, Songkang glanced back and forth between the two of them. He was not only curious about the progress of their work but also whether anything had happened between them.
“Attorney Cha Haein.”
Since he knew Line wouldn’t say much if he asked her, he called Haein first.
“How has the progress been so far? Nothing out of the ordinary, I hope?”
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?”
