The three of them relieved their exhaustion while eating the snacks that Attorney Yang brought as a souvenir.
From Attorney Yang’s amazing business trip hardships, office rumors updated within a week, to how Yeon Woo happened to attend the French Business Association dinner party, they happily shared their recent stories.
As they laughed and chatted for a while, Attorney Yang, who was carefully observing Yeon Woo across the table, suddenly exclaimed.
“But Assistant Manager Kim, there is, oh my, blood on your nose? You have a nosebleed!”
“Ah…”
“Deputy, here, wipe it off with a wet tissue!”
In fact, I had a nosebleed while washing my face in the morning. I thought it had gotten better, but it seemed to be flowing again.
Yeon Woo gratefully accepted the wet tissue handed over by Ms. Hye Jin and tilted her head back slightly.
“You look really pale. Have you been overdoing it lately? Just go home and rest.”
“Oh, you don’t have to worry that much. I just haven’t been able to rest properly these days. Normally, I get a little nosebleed when I’m tired.”
“Really? That surprised me. I wasn’t here, so it’s not because of me, right? It’s just Kwon after all.”
Huh. His name alone brought back vivid dreams of the night before.
Yeon Woo could only roll her eyes.
“Is Kwon giving you a hard time again? I wonder when that burn will heal.”
Attorney Yang, who was pointing at the still vacant office of Attorney Kwon, shook his head.
Yes. He was the cause.
Hmm. This time it seemed like… my subconscious was making wild imaginations it wasn’t supposed to, digging deeper and deeper into the hole.
As if he had read Yeon Woo’s thoughts, Kwon Jun Hwi entered with sharp footsteps.
While quickly cleaning up the tissues on her desk, Yeon Woo glanced quickly at the desk mirror, looking for any possible remaining stains.
Attorney Yang greeted him as he passed by, glancing sideways at Yeon Woo’s station where the chatter party was held.
“Attorney Kwon. Aren’t you going to say hello to a senior you haven’t seen in a while?”
“Why are you here so early?”
“What? The business trip is over, so I came to work.”
It’s driving me crazy. It was only a dream, so why does it bother me so much?
His entrance alone mixed his faint scent into the office air. And the breath that was coming in at the same time.
From now on, I had to lower his expectations by laying a steel plate and stamping me as a ‘weird kid’, but the will to act disappeared in an instant in front of his indifferent gaze.
Moreover, his big hand holding a cellphone that just happened to enter Yeon Woo’s sight, even the veins stood out.
Realizing that I was unconsciously judging whether it was the same as in the dream, she shuddered.
Due to various complicated situations, Yeon Woo, who was pricked alone, had to drop her head to the monitor, pretending to check her email, and avoid his gaze.
“Is there a problem?”
“No, no.”
Jun Hwi’s brow narrowed as he noticed Yeon Woo’s changed atmosphere.
Just said hello in the morning. Why do you avoid me as soon as our eyes meet? Like a guilty person.
“Attorney Kwon. Stop bothering Deputy Kim.”
“What’s the quarrel so early in the morning?”
“Look at the deputy’s complexion. It’s seriously pale. Ugh!”
Selfproclaimed as ‘Fearless because I’m a mom’, Attorney Yang was the only person who didn’t fear Kwon Jun Hwi. Attorney Yang, with a carefree smile, pushed him away verbally from Yeon Woo.
Jun Hwi, slightly frowning, and Attorney Yang walked past Yeon Woo, squabbled a bit more, and each retreated into their own rooms.
With a sigh that could not be heard, Yeon Woo, who had just relieved her tension, was about to really start her work, when…
[P Telecom Criminal Lawsuit. Evidence returned.] Sent at 4:18 AM.“Gasp!”
Almost jumped out of her seat.
Even in the email she glanced at to avoid him, there were remnants of last night’s dream.
Our workaholic attorney. What were you doing up at 4:18 AM too?
Knock knock. The hand knocking on the slightly open door to Attorney Kwon Jun Hwi’s office was unusually careful.
“Yes.”
Always slightly open, as he considered even the time spent opening and closing the door a waste.
Through the gap, you could see Jun Hwi, having rolled up his dress shirt sleeves, seated and flipping through documents with focus.
‘It’s okay. You’re just here to get a signature, Kim Yeon Woo. This is something you always do.’
Swallowing dry saliva and taking a few deep breaths, Yeon Woo, holding the approval pad firmly, carefully stepped inside.
“Attorney. There is an expense planned for a dinner party. Please approve the expected expenditure confirmation.”
“Are you okay?”
“Excuse me?”
“Your complexion doesn’t look good. That’s what Attorney Yang said.”
Although he was a person who worried about her complexion, his attitude was unusual.
Jun Hwi, still looking at the documents, asked in a seemingly worried yet indifferent tone.
“I’m fine. Please approve it, Attorney.”
“……”
Yeon Woo, who quickly placed the approval pad on the edge of Jun Hwi’s desk and stood as far away as possible.
As soon as she saw his hand, silently taking the approval pad and thoroughly scanning it, that crazy dream came back to her.
“……Deputy.”
Suddenly, he called her, while unbuttoning the top two buttons of his tieless shirt with his long fingers.
It was just a habit of his when he felt stifled, but why does it look so…… sexy!
At the same time, in the dream, his lips that had touched her hair were lightly tracing an outline as they were slowly ascending.
‘Ah. Please.’
Scenes that were usually normal seemed to be in slow motion and it felt like she was about to die.
Stop stalling the time, just sign it quickly…!
Yeon Woo simply closed her eyes tightly.
“What is this? Dress rental, hair, makeup.”
His cold question, as expected.
Yeon Woo suddenly came to her senses. From now on was important.
“It’s for attending the party. I need a dress to wear and matching hair and makeup.”
“And these onetime expenses, altogether, cost 3 million won?”
“Uh… Since it’s an event under the name of Roan Yul, we should go for the best! The dress is a new import from abroad, so it may cost a little more. The makeup will be done at a famous designer shop in Cheongdamdong.”
“……”
He, who was staring intently at the approval pad, leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms.
Then his gaze that meticulously scanned Yeon Woo standing next to him was notably intrigued.
“The cost is cheaper than what’s spent on one golf hospitality. I understand.”
“Pardon?”
“I’m approving the expenditure.”
This, this wasn’t the reaction she was expecting!
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?”
