Not for the First Time (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
Young In was about to leave work when she received a message from Sung Hyuk.
She replied asking if he didn’t have a dinner appointment with the film production company CEO tonight, and his response came right away.
She was indeed planning to walk, but it was only a 15-minute walk, so she texted back saying that. Yet what came back was a reply that somehow sounded logical but wasn’t easy to accept.
To her reply that people might find it strange, he responded very coolly.
Since Sung Hyuk was leaving for the airport straight from home tomorrow morning and arriving in Korea on Saturday, today—Thursday—was his last day handling official work at the company.
Last night he had told her personally that he might stop by briefly next Monday just to say hello.
Hearing that today was the last day made her realize they had never once left work together because they were too conscious of other people’s eyes, even though they worked at the same company. She had ridden in his car when going to client meetings, but even then they weren’t alone.
Suddenly she wanted to do something they had never done before.
As Young In put down her phone and started getting ready to leave, a faint smile hovered on her face.
[This is the timeline separator]
The smile had completely vanished from Young In’s face when she stepped out of the elevator in the basement parking lot.
The reason unease seeped into her restless eyes was Deputy Director Yang from the Management Support Team, whom she had run into in the elevator.
When he asked if she was heading home, she said yes and pressed the B1 button, only for him to suddenly latch on, asking to be dropped off at any subway station along the way.
Even after she belatedly mentioned she had plans, he stubbornly followed her all the way to the basement parking lot.
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.”
