Surely, I won’t run into Junhwi outside, right?
A bad feeling crept in. Yeonwoo pressed her fluttering heart and alternately glanced at the cafe entrance and the seat where Chahanbin’s couple was sitting.
In the midst of anxiety, Junhwi opened the cafe door and entered. Fortunately, Chahanbin and Yoonjiwoo, deeply engrossed in examining the menu, seemed not to notice Junhwi.
“Let’s quickly leave. Right here.”
Yeonwoo rose abruptly, grabbing Junhwi’s arm, who had just entered.
“Are we going to ride the swing?”
“No, no, not that. I just want to take a walk, you know!”
“Really? Who was the one saying they couldn’t walk because their legs were weak in bed just now?”
This guy, now is not the time for such jokes. We need to leave quickly!
Yeonwoo pushed his back, trying to avoid making it obvious. The merciless sun of Bali, which was frightening even when standing still, began to pour down on the two as they left the cafe. Even standing still, sweat dripped through their sunglasses.
“It’s hot.”
“Do you want to take a walk in 34 degrees?”
“Well, still. This is all happiness and memories!”
Yeonwoo adjusted her sunglasses that had slipped from her nose, speaking casually.
“Okay. Shall we walk a bit then?”
Smiling brightly, Junhwi, who remained neat despite the hot weather, tightly held Yeonwoo’s hand. The two walked through the quiet dirt roads of rural Bali, looking for shade among the trees, holding iced coffee.
The loud sound of cicadas, occasional processions of scooters passing by, and in the distance, a dense jungle, created an exotic landscape.
All these moments resembled the calm and peaceful atmosphere of Bali.
Yeonwoo thought she did well to avoid Chahanbin and Yoonjiwoo, hunching her body carefully to avoid being noticed by them.
Trying to avoid Yoon Jiwoo and Cha Hanbin, they unexpectedly encountered a massive downpour. Yeonwoo found this situation so absurd that she burst into laughter. Junhwi also chuckled slightly and removed the strands of hair stuck to Yeonwoo’s face.
“But we can’t stay here forever. Wait here.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m checking if there’s a taxi or something.”
Without waiting for a chance to object, Junhwi left Yeonwoo under a rainproof tree and jumped into the pouring rain.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Taxi!”
While running on the muddy path, they fortunately spotted an empty taxi as they reached the main road. However, it seemed the taxi didn’t notice Junhwi.
“Oh no.”
Desperately, Junhwi sprinted to catch up with the taxi trying to overtake him. Luckily, due to the pouring rain, the car couldn’t speed up and was moving slowly.
“Heuk, heuk.”
Finally catching up with the taxi, Junhwi lightly tapped the trunk. Only then did the taxi come to a stop.
Fortunately. First, I need to stop and call Yeonwoo. Junhwi, who had been catching his breath while running at full speed, opened the back door.
“Huh······?”
Simultaneously, someone opened the opposite door. They faced each other through the open back seat doors.
“What, what is this!”
“······.”
Seeing the person on the other side, Junhwi was taken aback and stiffened.
“Long time no see, Attorney Cha Hanbin.”
It was Cha Hanbin. Unexpectedly meeting such a person.
“Oh, long time no see, Attorney Kwon Junhwi.”
“Yeah. But.”
Junhwi, who calmly looked at the forced smile of Cha Hanbin, whispered quietly.
“Get lost. I flagged down this taxi.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️
The taxi, carrying the four soaked individuals, bravely pierced through the heavy rain towards their destination.
In the end, Junhwi couldn’t ruthlessly reject Cha Hanbin. Considering Yoon Jiwoo’s pregnancy, he respected Yeonwoo’s opinion that it would be heartless to leave a pregnant woman alone in the rain and take only themselves in the taxi.
“Ah. What on earth is going on? It’s damp and uncomfortable.”
Between Cha Hanbin and Yeonwoo, Yoon Jiwoo, seated in the middle, squeezed the water droplets at the end of her clothes and grumbled.
“Yeonwoo, did you gain weight? The space is too cramped.”
Yoon Jiwoo criticized Yeonwoo without acknowledging the favor of the ride.
“Jeez. It’s narrow because three people are sitting in a two-person seat.”
After that, Yoon Jiwoo complained extensively, swiping her swollen belly, until Junhwi’s chilly gaze from the front seat made her quietly stop.
“Our little bean, feeling stuffy, right? Let’s endure a bit.”
Struggling to wipe her belly, Yoon Jiwoo pulled Cha Hanbin’s fist, leaning her head against it. Meanwhile, she pushed away Yeonwoo’s leg, which was stuck to her right leg.
“We came on a prenatal trip with our little bean.”
“Yeah. Congratulations.”
“It’s a girl.”
“Oh.”
“She’ll be pretty, right?”
Yoon Jiwoo began to bring up a story that no one had asked about, as usual, mixing in her own bragging.
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?”
