“Tha… that’s enough. Please stop.”
“Why? Can’t I give a kiss on my wife’s cheek?”
At the teasing and nonchalant voice tickling her ear, Seolwon grumbled and pushed Chaeha away.
Her fingertips urgently pointed to the large window near her head.
“It’s morning, Ms. Chaeha. Can’t you see the sunrise?”
“I can.”
“So, please stop now.”
“What should I do? I don’t want to stop.”
Despite Seolwon futilely pushing his firm chest with both hands, he effortlessly grabbed her wrist instead.
It was already the umpteenth repetition of such a situation, and Seolwon eventually let out a resigned sigh.
At that moment, his gentle and pleasant laughter settled on her forehead.
However, his laughter still retained an undiluted hint of temptation.
Pulling Seolwon into his arms without any effort, Chaeha whispered playfully.
“Isn’t there something left?”
“…What?”
Wondering what he meant, Seolwon raised her head from Chaeha’s embrace.
In his deep eyes, a mischievous glint flickered alongside the temptation.
He had already left her slip, which he had grabbed, hanging from his hand.
“As far as I know, this slip was like a wedding anniversary gift.”
“Ri… right. But why?”
“Hmm. Didn’t Laura and James also give you amazing gifts on your birthday?”
“…!”
Stabbed in the heart, Seolwon slightly opened her lips.
Indeed, there was something like that.
However, compared to this slip, which was considered worth a try, the birthday gift was so inferior that it would be better if it never saw the light of day.
A vivid red, a piece of fabric that seemed dubious if it could be worn.
Thinking about that gift, with holes here and there as if the air could pass through, Seolwon’s cheeks flushed from her embarrassment.
Observing her turning red like autumn leaves, Chaeha gazed at her intently.
His eyes clearly indicated that this night would not allow the morning to arrive.
Seolwon hastily moved her body as if tidying up the blanket and pillows.
However, it was ultimately a futile struggle.
“Where are you running away to?”
“…”
Slowly, he pulled Seolwon back into his embrace, folding the blanket over her chest.
Feeling the need to explain something, Seolwon lowered her eyes and murmured softly.
“That… well… later, perhaps during our honeymoon or somewhere like that…”
For a brief moment, silence hung in the air. Only for a moment.
Then Chaeha’s hearty laughter spread like a soft cloud over the blanket.
Suddenly, he leaned down and covered her forehead, nose, and cheeks with a series of small bird kisses.
Overflowing with a sense of being loved, Seolwon couldn’t resist the feeling, and this time, she couldn’t push him away.
How long had they been soaked in the drizzle of kisses?
Suddenly, at the creaking sound of the door opening, Seolwon snapped to attention.
Quickly pulling up the blanket and looking toward the door, there stood Uju with a bewildered expression.
“Hmm?”
“Uju, did you already wake up?”
“Yes. I heard kissing sounds in this room when I was going to the bathroom.”
“…”
While Seolwon pondered over what to say, Uju, with a nonchalant expression, approached the bed, lightly lifting her heels.
Hoping that the childlike innocence had returned to Chaeha through Uju, who was wearing cute autumn pajamas with squirrels and acorns drawn on them, Seolwon secretly anticipated.
However, that hope was shattered quickly because of Uju.
Uju extended her plump lower lip and tried to climb onto the bed.
“Uju wants to kiss you, too, like Mom and Dad.”
Usually, Seolwon would naturally shower her with kisses, but she hadn’t tidied herself up yet.
It was not appropriate for a five-year-old to see her in this state.
Seolwon was still flustered when, unexpectedly, Chaeha sternly scolded Uju.
“Our son, you should knock when entering Mom and Dad’s room.”
“Huh? Knock…?”
“Yes. Mom and Dad are busy, so you must knock and come in.”
“Are Mom and Dad busy?”
“Very busy.”
Pure curiosity bubbled up in Uju’s head.
After a while, a sunny and endless question popped out from her lips as she attempted to kiss.
“Why? Why are you busy?”
“We need to make a younger sibling.”
“Younger sibling~?”
Uju’s round eyes widened even more.
Chaeha’s lips also rose higher, proportionate to Uju’s excitement.
“Yes. Uju, younger sibling. Since Uju is the first, if a younger sibling comes, Uju will become an older brother.”
“… Older brother?”
Uju’s two cheeks flushed with excitement as if she had encountered a new and mysterious word.
“Can Uju become an older brother?”
“Of course. If Mom and Dad work hard.”
“Really… What are you saying to a child.”
Perturbed Seolwon tried to roll up the blanket and go down under the bed.
However, Uju, politely saying goodbye after Chaeha’s words, turned around and walked away from the door.
“I’m going, Mom, Dad! Please work hard to make Uju’s younger sibling~.”
“…”
It wasn’t the time for a belly-button farewell.
As Seolwon stared blankly at the closed door, Chaeha once again pulled her towards him.
It was beyond magnetic; it was absurd.
“Heard it? Come here.”
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.”
