As summer approached, the rising sun hastened its pace, and the warm sunlight that had already crossed the horizon gently filled the room. However, Yoo In was still immersed in a deep sleep.
What finally pulled her from the embrace of slumber was the persistent vibrating sound on the bedside table. Pressing the side button multiple times in her drowsiness to switch it to silent mode, she couldn’t fathom why the caller continued to persistently make calls.
Yoo In, after confirming the identity of the culprit who woke her up, unconsciously let out an impression. Forced awake and denied the intention to decline the call, there was no way her response would be in a good tone.
“Why so early? What’s the matter?”
… Why so early? Hey, are you in your right mind?
Although she felt irritation in the voice repeating what she said, there was no energy left to care about it from the bed dominated by drowsiness.
“Just say what you need quickly. I just woke up.”
Oh~ feeling sleepy? Even if you know who I heard it from, will you really be able to sleep?
Only now did Yoo In’s half-closed eyelids, which were annoyingly veiled, open slightly. She picked up the phone that she had been holding casually and held her breath.
The extremely excited and vigorous sound from the other side began to register in her consciousness. In the midst of sensing an unpleasant atmosphere, she first chose to stay silent.
“What are you talking about?”
Don’t you really know what I’m talking about? You should know, right?
“I don’t, so I’m asking. What is it? Why are you like this?”
If you keep pretending not to know, will the fact disappear? Okay. Since you seem completely clueless, let’s end it. Instead, how about calling Do Gi-yeon Director and asking how you seduced my sister?
“…….”
Why does unavoidable misfortune come without any warning? Yoo In awkwardly swept away her disheveled hair that had fallen haphazardly.
If you consider it in terms of time, it’s not even 24 hours yet, but the news feels like a bullet. What was so urgent that they hurriedly called so early in the morning?
Kim Seon-young and Nam Yoo-jin, who were running the worst of the worst, may actually be as close as Kyeon mentioned.
Was the boyfriend you casually mentioned last time Director Do Gi-yeon? Really? Since when were you two like that? No, seriously, how did you meet that person?
“Sister, calm down and ask one thing at a time.”
You looked stupid muttering about irrelevant celebrities in front of her. Huh? Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing earlier? What were you two trying to do to make me look like a fool! Do you know what Kim Seon-young said to me on the phone?!
The rising frequency curve finally skyrocketed into a piercing high pitch, tearing through the eardrums. At the same time, she detached the phone from her ears.
Feeling a menacing momentum that wouldn’t easily calm down, Yoo In completely raised her body, sat on the edge of the bed, and lowered her legs beneath it.
“Ha… Sister, I was going to tell you too. But you’ve been so busy lately. I didn’t want to bother you unnecessarily.”
Is that what you call an excuse? No matter how busy you are. No matter how hectic it is! For something this important, you should naturally speak up, right? Don’t tell me Do Director told you not to talk? Did he tell you to hide it? That person?
“No, no! Director Do said it’s okay. I didn’t do anything wrong. Director Do is not at fault.”
Wow. You’re really on her side. This is crazy. The more I think about it, the more shivers run down my spine. Even if Do Director is originally that kind of person, did you deceive my sister and feel comfortable? Who else knows about this? Do your friends know?
“…They do.”
What… Hey! Nam Yoo-in! How could you do that? They know too! I was the only one who didn’t know? This doesn’t make sense!
After a scream-like shout, a loud private lecture and sermon poured out one after another. Feeling unjust about why she had to be the last to know, and feeling resentful about why the other person was Do Gi-yeon, Yoo Jin suddenly turned her head.
Where are you right now?
“At home.”
Should I come, or do you want to come?
“Why suddenly? Can’t we just talk on the phone?”
I’m giving you 30 minutes. Come over right away.
Inside the taxi heading to Yoo Jin’s house. The finger that hesitated on Gyeon’s number for a moment chose to move away from the call log.
Knowing a man who works at home even on holidays when he doesn’t meet Yoo In, it was because she didn’t want to disturb him. Yesterday, she saw the figure concentrating on work for hours without saying a word.
The warm morning sunlight came down through the window and warmed the screen comfortably. The name of the person could be vaguely seen on the darkened screen due to the overly bright light.
Nevertheless, it might be good to specify the destination. With that thought, the messaging app was already open in his hand.
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.”
