Seunghee entered the house and headed to Nayoung’s room.
Through the door that Professor Choi Taehyuk didn’t properly close, the scenery inside the room could be seen.
Nayoung was still with the fish in front of the fish tank.
It seems Professor Choi Taehyuk couldn’t defeat Kkamangi either.
Ugh, such a pathetic man.
“That ring isn’t that expensive.”
Seunghee, with only her face sticking out from behind the door, informed Nayoung.
So, there’s no need to be so hurt over that ring.
“I know.”
When Nayoung said she knew, Seunghee made a face as if she didn’t understand even more.
“If you know, why does it have to be that ring?”
At this point, it would have been more advantageous to get a more expensive ring from Professor Choi Taehyuk.
“Because it has meaning.”
It was the first ring he bought for her.
It was evidence that she lied to him.
All the joy and pain they shared were contained in that ring.
Throwing that away and buying a new one would probably make it easier for their relationship to be abandoned, and they would end up finding new people.
Nayoung didn’t want that.
Even if it’s difficult, she wanted to hold on, endure, and overcome until the end.
Professor Choi Taehyuk returned in 10 minutes.
Considering the round trip of 10 minutes by car, it seems he must have run incredibly when he got out of the car.
“I brought the ring.”
At his words, Nayoung finally turned her head to look at Taehyuk’s face.
When their eyes met, Taehyuk choked up for no reason.
Actually, he had been holding it in since he met Jang Suho earlier. Exactly what this inexplicable emotion was.
Nayoung raised her hand and extended it forward, as if asking him to put on the ring.
When Taehyuk just looked at her hand without doing anything, Seunghee, who had been peeking outside, urged, “Put on the ring!”
Thud.
Taehyuk closed the door first.
Unable to peek any longer, Seunghee stomped her feet outside the door.
It was like being driven away at the climax of a movie.
Clatter.
Taehyuk opened the box and took out a small ring.
“Now that I see this ring again, why does it look so cheap?”
Perhaps due to consuming a lot of emotions today, his vision had become sharper.
Taehyuk really wanted to buy it again.
This time, he would choose and choose carefully.
And he would never do childish things like hiding it.
Just reserve a top-class hotel, bring a bouquet of flowers, and pop champagne together.
“Even though it looks cheap, it’s precious to me.”
Because it sounded like he was saying even someone like him is precious, Taehyuk felt his throat tighten.
He put the ring on her delicate finger.
Even though the ring was unimpressive, it looked completely different on her white and elegant finger.
“Beautiful.”
That phrase came out unintentionally.
Nayoung smiled at him.
Her face, which seemed like it would break soon, made him feel crazy.
Taehyuk wrapped his hand around her nape and pulled her closer, their lips colliding.
With each bite as if extracting something, his body heated up from the rising breath.
He didn’t want to stop kissing until she melted away.
Swoosh.
However, Taehyuk was surprised when he felt Nayoung’s body collapsing weakly.
“Nun Nayoung!”
She closed her eyes tightly and didn’t move, so Taehyuk’s heart sank.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Seunghee lay on the bed, gazing at Nayoung lying down with her chin in her hands.
“Is she really asleep?”
When Seunghee doubted, Taehyuk bluntly said, “I’m a doctor.”
Although there were three doctors here, the situation seemed quite foolish.
To faint like this while kissing.
“How many days has she not slept?”
“Oh! It seems Professor slept well.”
After murmuring, Seunghee reflexively covered her face with her hands.
Usually, in a situation like this, Professor Choi Taehyuk would throw something at her.
But since it was quiet, Seunghee peeked through her fingers.
Professor Choi Taehyuk was holding something in his hand.
But strangely, it was a walkie-talkie. Just like in a movie or drama.
“Take it. It’s yours.”
“Huh? I’ve never bought something like this.”
When Seunghee denied that it was definitely not hers, Taehyuk sighed and looked at her.
“You said you tried to meet any man because of Cha Hyun’s words.”
It wasn’t just any man.
“Jang Suho was really a good guy.”
When Seunghee praised Jang Suho, Taehyuk immediately showed an angry expression.
Afraid of getting hit by the walkie-talkie, Seunghee covered her mouth with her hands.
Taehyuk calmed down and continued to explain why he brought this walkie-talkie.
“This walkie-talkie is analog, so it has to be within a radius of 1km to connect.”
It was indeed an antique. Nowadays, walkie-talkies use LTE, so they can connect from anywhere, just like a phone.
“If you’re going to buy one, buy a high-performance one. Why choose this one?”
“Shut up until I finish speaking.”
Seunghee immediately closed her mouth.
Taehyuk placed the walkie-talkie in front of Seunghee and said, “The other walkie-talkie connected to this one, I’ll give it to Cha Hyun.”
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?”
