Before he noticed, she had to scan and restore it one by one; was there any other option?
Can’t we do it twice after doing it once? Yeonwoo sighed inwardly and changed into office shoes again. It looked like she had to work overtime after her duty.
“For now, let’s go to the evidence storage room together. Bring the documents to scan.”
“Manager Yeonwoo, you’re my savior from today.”
Sigh. Where are you looking with those sparkling eyes, like a well-spoken, handsome Chihuahua? It’s hard to hate.
Filling the bitterness with a smile, Yeonwoo led the way to the evidence storage room.
“Manager! Manager Yeonwoo!”
A usual morning. As soon as he arrived at the office, Junhwi looked for Yeonwoo.
Although she was running a bit late than usual, a new secretary ran up instead.
“Yes, Attorney. Are you looking for me?”
Instead, the new secretary arrived a beat later than usual. A displeased shadow appeared on Junhwi’s face.
“Where’s Manager Kim? Where did she go?”
“Oh, that, she’s momentarily absent due to some other work.”
“······.”
Asked by the secretary’s voice, Junhwi inquired if there was anything she needed and then sent the new employee away. All he needed was Kim Yeonwoo, after all.
To start work, I turned on the laptop, picked up a fountain pen, and flipped through the documents I had reviewed yesterday.
Reading the documents for a moment, I felt stifled. I pulled out my tie, opened the window, and even ran my hand through my hair to shake off the irritation.
······Whatever I did, I couldn’t concentrate. Because Yeonwoo wasn’t here. It was unbelievable even to myself.
Junhwi, making a wind-blowing sound, suddenly stood up and went out to the corridor. Yeonwoo’s seat was still empty.
Feeling stuffy, my throat was dry. It was time to go to the water cooler to get a drink.
“So, I went to bed at 1 a.m. yesterday.”
“Oh, you must be tired.”
“Yes, I plan to go to a cafe later. Should I buy coffee for Manager Yeonwoo too?”
Yeonwoo was diligently separating documents in the restroom. And next to her, Attorney Kim Seungho was sticking to the copier, putting documents in.
“Hello, Attorney Kwon.”
Seeing Junhwi, Seungho Kim, who had piled up documents like a mountain behind him, quickly greeted.
“What do you want?”
“Attorney Kwon, do you want to use the copier?”
“Give it to me! I’ll make copies for you.”
The two blocked the copier.
What’s going on?
Junhwi’s eyes, already uncomfortable, narrowed.
······It had been annoying for the past few days that Seungho Kim was suddenly getting on his nerves.
He would look for Yeonwoo, asking for this and that as if she were a child.
Once, he arrogantly called Yeonwoo to his room, and the two whispered for a long time.
‘Yeonwoo Manager’? Where did that familiarity come from?
With a stiff neck, irritation surged.
Some people can’t even freely look at each other in the company, and who are you! Using my girlfriend’s name so casually.
“······.”
Seungho Kim. Suddenly rolling in and taking away half of Yeonwoo’s attention.
The newbie with those calf eyes blinking was very annoying.
In his heart, Junhwi wanted to go to the HR team and ask them to remove Seungho Kim, preventing him from getting in trouble. But the person who was already in charge of Seungho Kim would feel awkward, so he couldn’t.
Unable to express the complicated feelings, Junhwi ultimately chewed out Seungho Kim in a different direction.
“Attorney Kim Seungho. About the opinion you were supposed to write yesterday?”
“Yes, Attorney. I’m outlining it. I’ll write a draft soon.”
“If you respond this slowly, when will you submit it to the prosecution, get written consent, and get it done?”
“Oh, I’ll do it right away.”
“How far have you gone with the case research?”
“Well, if I just add the Supreme Court site.”
“So, you haven’t completed it.”
Seungho Kim’s gentle eyes became noticeable.
Yeonwoo, standing awkwardly between them, just swallowed dry saliva. In the long time since he had seen his sternness, her heart was pressed flat.
“Is the work I assign you that easy?”
“No, I’m sorry.”
“If you don’t want to do it, tell me now. If you’re going to do it, do it properly.”
“I’ll correct it.”
“And, Manager Kim Yeonwoo.”
Oops. Sparks flew towards Yeonwoo. His cold eyes alternated between Yeonwoo and the piled-up documents.
“What are those documents? Are you scanning them?”
“Oh, yes, these are, um, Attorney Kim’s documents. It’s urgent······.”
Unable to say that these are your M Electronics documents that you just threw away, he circled around as best as he could. There was a twitch in his forehead.
Of course, Junhwi also knew well. Attorney Kim Seungho’s support was clearly Yeonwoo’s task. He couldn’t blame her for working hard.
But there should be a limit. Taking care of another guy so carefully behind his back. ······It felt like his eyes were going to roll.
“As you know, there are scanned evidence documents piled up in my cabinet.”
“Yes······.”
“When will mine be handled?”
Ah, Yeonwoo read Junhwi’s subtle intention.
It was a subtle reminder to focus only on him, ignoring other guys.
But, Attorney Kwon, what you’re doing now is also your own documents······.
“I’ll finish what I was doing quickly and handle that too.”
“I might have more urgent matters on my end.”
No. The documents that had been sleeping in the cabinet for a few months were far more important and urgent to him than the ones he threw away a few days ago.
He couldn’t say all of this. Yeonwoo just had to suppress her frustration.
“And there’s something I need to discuss with the manager. Come to my room.”
With eyes full of dissatisfaction, he pressed Yeonwoo and threw his words, then disappeared.
‘Oh, unfair! Frustrating!’
He was clearly misunderstanding that Yeonwoo was whispering with Kim Seungho.
But if he honestly said that he was recovering the M Electronics documents, it seemed like Kim Seungho would dislike him even more.
Already feeling uneasy because of Im Nayoon, getting in between Kwon Junhwi and Kim Seungho made his head feel like it was about to explode. I don’t understand what’s going on.
“I don’t think he likes me.”
Now that one side was gone, this side was the problem.
Busy thinking about how to comfort her when she went to his room, he had to comfort the collapsed Kim Seungho as well.
Yes, this is work. It’s work. Yeonwoo tried her best to put her soul into it.
“Attorney Kwon usually doesn’t like everyone. Don’t worry too much.”
Phew. Breathing a sigh as if the ground was about to collapse, Kim Seungho suddenly prepared himself.
“I should do even better and make Attorney Kwon like me more in this situation!”
Really? Why? He almost blurted out loud.
This was Kim Seungho’s first reaction. Someone who took being treated roughly by perfectionist Attorney Kwon Junhwi so positively.
“In fact, Attorney Kwon Junhwi is my role model. I want to be recognized by Attorney Kwon one day. That’s my career goal.”
Attorney Kim Seungho······ What an unusual person.
Anyway, there’s no time to ask why he wants to suffer like this. Yeonwoo quickly shouted “Fighting!” to cover up her surprised heart.
The remaining scanning task was entrusted to Kim Seungho. That’s settled for this side.
Now, to rectify the situation on the other side, Yeonwoo quickly went to Junhwi’s room.
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?”
