Until Secretary Jung, who brought the universe, rang the doorbell.
“Mommy~! Daddy~!”
Exactly on time, their precious child returned.
As soon as the gate opened, Chaeha spread his arms wide toward the approaching Universe.
Soon, lifting Universe in his arms, he shook him towards Seolwon as if to show off.
It was truly a scene that involuntarily brought a smile to her lips.
“Good morning. Vice Chairman. Little Madam.”
“Secretary Jung.”
Walking behind Universe, Secretary Jung approached, grinning broadly.
It was an expression as if he knew this would happen.
“A beautiful sight doesn’t always refer to natural landscapes. When this old man sees such scenes, he gets emotional.”
“…Secretary Jung.”
“I’m really glad you didn’t leave. Little Madam.”
“Hmm~? Are we leaving?”
Upon hearing Secretary Jung’s words, Universe’s face brightened as much as the morning sunshine.
Seolwon responded with a smile, looking at the child like that.
“Yeah. We’re not going anywhere. Now, we’re going to live here with Mom and Universe.”
“Really? Will I live with Dad, the Giant?”
“That’s right, little one.”
As Chaeha kissed Universe’s cheek, Universe responded by hugging him and cheering.
“Now, Universe, should you continue going to the Leaf Kindergarten Rabbit Class? How about that?”
“Yes! I really, really like the Rabbit Class!”
Rolling his little feet in the air, Universe expressed his overflowing joy.
Knowing how much the child wanted to live here, Seolwon felt a pang in her heart.
Now, she wanted to create only happy moments rather than things to regret.
It seemed Chaeha felt the same way.
After lightly kissing Universe’s rosy cheek, he smiled.
It was the genuine appearance of a father.
After watching the warm scene of the three for a moment, Secretary Jung greeted them warmly.
“Well then, I’ll be going now. You should prepare for work.”
“Thank you, Secretary Jung. We’ll invite Director Jung to our home soon.”
“I’ll be looking forward to it. Universe, see you again.”
“Yes! Grandpa! I’ll go play with my sisters again!”
Fortunately, Universe seemed to have spent a pleasant time with the triplets between Chaeha and Seolwon, unaware of the storm that had passed.
His eyes, especially sparkling, were charming and lovely.
It was truly astonishing that the result of the love between the two was such a lovable being.
Finally, Chaeha walked over, holding Seolwon’s hand with the other.
The extremely reassuring hand supported her and Universe.
No matter what storm might come, the unchanging fact was that the three of them were a family.
“Why are you so helpless?”
“I’d rather look for a helpless shaman.”
Director Yoon, who had been dragged since morning, appealed by blinking his eyes to show that he had not slept well.
But as always, Ha Yeong-joo showed no interest in Director Yoon’s condition.
Biting her lips anxiously, Ha Yeong-joo pointed at the objects spread out on the marble table.
“Do you think this won’t work?”
“Well, I don’t know. I’m not a pawnshop owner or an appraiser.”
“Oh, really! Director Yoon, why do you keep being like this?”
In the end, Ha Yeong-joo exploded in anger.
Her angry sigh settled on the jewels spread across the table.
Unable to help it, Director Yoon pretended to examine those items.
From the gift received when marrying Kwon Kang-ho to the expensive precious metals purchased over the years, each jewel flaunted its value.
The reason these items, which should have been in a safe or a jewelry box, were outside was one.
“Are you trying to buy Little Madam with jewelry?”
“Buy? Can’t you use nicer words? It’s about reconciliation, reconciliation!”
Director Yoon shook his head nervously in response to Ha Yeong-joo’s outburst.
“Madam, reconciliation involves seeking forgiveness first and then achieving reconciliation after receiving forgiveness. Handing over such jewelry won’t automatically lead to reconciliation.”
“What? Seek forgiveness? Me?”
Seeing Ha Yeong-joo jumping, Director Yoon felt the urge to speak the truth.
There was an obligation for him to awaken her, who showed no signs of remorse.
“Be honest. Do you really want to reconcile with Little Madam?”
“Well… Uh, I mean…”
“Do you genuinely think you’ve wronged Little Madam? In reality, you were just deceived by that Baek Sera woman, and you’re making excuses just to see Universe, aren’t you?”
Ha Yeong-joo’s eyes widened, and her mouth followed suit.
“Was Yonan Mudo here? Director Yoon, did you receive some divine revelation without me knowing? How do you know so well?”
“Then that’s right,” Director Yoon sighed loudly as if intentionally making a big noise.
“How long do you think I’ve served Little Madam? Do you think I wouldn’t know her secret… I mean, her hidden feelings?”
“Humph! You’re right. I really got fooled by that Baek Sera, a high-ranking woman!”
“Do you really have no mistakes at all?”
“Well… Not none, but what does it matter? Even Lady Mother does such things! Yoon, what’s this? Are you interrogating me now?”
Ha Yeong-joo finally burst out in frustration.
Sweeping the jewels away irritably with both hands, she began to grumble.
“Enough! It’s my fault for asking Director Yoon. Anyway, if we capture our baby’s heart, everything will be fine! Then reconciliation will happen naturally!”
“I’m not so sure. It won’t be easy.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not easy! I’ll definitely protect our baby!”
“Protect? To whom are you saying that?”
“I’m asking because I don’t know! Of course, it’s from that Baek Sera, that rotten woman!”
“Oh… Yes, yes. Whatever you say. You should protect.”
In the face of the unstoppable passion, Director Yoon shook his head nervously.
Seeing her eyes sparkle as much as the jewels, it seemed like they needed to strengthen surveillance even more.
Whether it was Ha Yeong-joo or Baek Sera, both were harmful elements to the child.
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?”
