That Night's Circumstance (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
In Ho placed a teacup in front of Hye Kyoung and sat down.
Ten minutes earlier, Hye Kyoung had abruptly shown up and claimed the best spot on the sofa, and for some reason, she still hadn’t wiped the sour look off her face.
It made In Ho so uncomfortable that he couldn’t bring himself to say anything first.
The awkward silence dragged on unbearably slowly.
The stillness, which had seemed unbreakable, cracked open with surprising ease.
“Your complexion has improved a lot. Looks like Mr. Seo is really taking good care of you.”
Her bright red lips moved spitefully.
Her tone made it sound as if she resented his improved appearance and found it unbearable to look at.
In Ho couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
He’d seen plenty of Hye Kyoung over the past three years, yet this tone and expression were entirely new to him.
Of course, even before this, there had always been something slightly off-putting about her—but never had she repelled him this strongly.
“Well, whatever the reason, I’m doing fine.”
In Ho replied in a noticeably curt voice.
She was technically his future mother-in-law, so he ought to have shown proper respect—but he simply didn’t feel like it.
Thinking about how she might have treated Soo Yeon like this when he wasn’t around made her seem anything but adult-like.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
