Upon seeing Jao’s face crumple as he looked at the divorce papers, Chaeyoon cautiously opened her mouth.
“I shouldn’t have brought it up while we were drinking… I’m sorry.”
Chaeyoon finished speaking and gave an awkward smile.
On the other hand, Jao’s head went blank.
So, what she said yesterday wasn’t just nonsense spoken in a drunken state.
He had thought that her words yesterday were just nonsense spoken while drunk, as there was nothing unusual when they bumped into each other in front of the bathroom just a while ago.
But it was sincere.
Even though he had considered the possibility that her words about divorce yesterday might have come from a sincere place, it was still shocking to hear it confirmed again in Chaeyoon’s voice.
Moreover, the intensity of the shock was incomparable to yesterday’s, so Jao put down the papers he was holding as if throwing them away and said,
“Why all of a sudden?”
His eyes staring at Chaeyoon were fierce.
Not knowing where to rest her eyes as she felt the atmosphere as if he would tear up the divorce papers at any moment and the gaze that seemed to pierce through her, Chaeyoon wondered,
‘Why is he reacting like that?’
She had thought he would respond calmly as he had before when talking about divorce, but the man in front of her was showing a more intense reaction than she had expected.
As she found it strange and stared at him without replying for a moment, a cold voice urged Chaeyoon.
“I’m asking you why you suddenly want to get a divorce.”
The harsh voice was enough to evoke curiosity, but Chaeyoon answered his question rather than asking why he was acting like that.
“It’s not sudden. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
A sigh escaped Jao’s lips.
The words that she had been thinking about it for a long time.
He couldn’t understand why those words made him feel betrayed.
With a bitter taste in his mouth, Jao spoke.
“Since when?”
“It’s been a while.”
As he imagined Chaeyoon making up her mind to get a divorce without his knowledge and even preparing the divorce papers, tension filled his jaw muscles.
His emotions surged and tangled.
It was like the confusion he felt when he heard the conversation between Jeongwoong and Kyunghee. Jaeo, who didn’t expect to feel these unwanted memories and emotions at this moment, and because of Chaeyoon, clenched his teeth.
Taking a deep breath as his breathing grew rough against his will, he furrowed his brow and asked,
“Why do you want a divorce?”
His voice was unfamiliarly low.
Seeing Jao’s face hardened for the first time, Chaeyoon wondered if her mentioning divorce was such a big deal that it would cause him to react like this.
Although her gaze at Jao showed bewilderment, Chaeyoon maintained a relatively calm expression and answered,
“I want to… be alone now.”
It was sincere.
Although the thought of living alone was still daunting and frightening, it was more difficult to be by the side of a man who never saw her as a woman and to secretly love him.
“You probably noticed, but I got a job.”
“……”
“I got a job at Taeil Chemical.”
As soon as he heard the name of the company, Taeil Chemical, Jao’s eyes became even sharper.
The fact that Chaeyoon had joined Taeil Chemical meant, in other words, that she was willing to learn about the company’s work, and even more, to participate in the management.
“It hasn’t been long since I joined the company, so I don’t know much yet, but I’m going to learn everything one by one without anyone’s help.”
Her face, saying that she was now a fullfledged member of society and that she could live on her own, was determined.
A different appearance from when she was seen at the funeral at sea.
The fragile Song Chaeyoon, who seemed to need someone to lean on, was nowhere to be found now.
“I need to do this to live alone in the future…”
Why was it so unpleasant?
On top of that, making a decision about the divorce without his knowledge and unilaterally informing him didn’t sit well with Jao, so he spat out his words even before Chaeyoon finished speaking.
“Do you not remember what Grandfather said when we agreed to register our marriage?”
Chaeyoon answered without fluster.
“I remember. He said we couldn’t get a divorce.”
“Yet you brought this here.”
The moment she heard his cold, icy voice, Chaeyoon’s eyes, which had been calm all along, reacted.
‘This thing?’
Her gaze towards Jao, who had become irritated since seeing the divorce papers, sharpened.
When the temperature of her gaze at Jao cooled down,
Chaeyoon’s lips moved.
“Is it not allowed?”
Her thick lips’ newly emerged voice was cold.
“What?”
As Jao asked back in surprise at the unexpected response, Chaeyoon calmly said,
“It’s a problem between you and me.”
Her face seemed to say she didn’t understand why Jipil’s opinion was needed here.
Chaeyoon had always been obedient to Jipil, like a grandfather. Jao, who never expected Chaeyoon to go against Jipil’s words and act with such a cold face, stared at her with astonishment.
“You now…”
“You’ve secured your position in the company now.”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
