It was almost midnight.
As Sunyoung entered Hyuna’s officetel, she hesitated and stopped at the unfamiliar scene.
Broken glass shards were scattered everywhere, and bloodstained footprints were mixed all around.
The man sitting on the center of the sofa had haphazardly put on trousers, but half of his face and upper body were stained with blood. Even though the treatment seemed to be over, his head was still wrapped in bandages.
The man, who seemed to be groaning in pain while holding his head, was the one Sunyoung remembered Hyuna recently played with.
It’s certain that there was a serious conflict.
When Sunyoung grasped her painful head, the secretary who had come here in advance to handle the accident anxiously asked, “Chairman, are you okay?”
“I… I’m fine. By the way, what happened?”
The secretary briefly explained the circumstances of the accident.
There was a dispute between Hyuna and a man named Kim Young-jun, and in the process, Hyuna hit Young-jun’s head with a bottle.
The on-call doctor who rushed here finished Young-jun’s emergency treatment, but a detailed examination was deemed necessary.
“What about Hyuna? Why don’t I see our Hyuna?”
“Miss is in a highly agitated state, so she’s been quarantined in the bedroom. She’s receiving treatment now.”
“What?! Our Hyuna got hurt?”
At the secretary’s words, Sunyoung grimaced and rushed to the bedroom. When she opened the door with a bang, she saw the back of the attending doctor, and behind him was a glimpse of Hyuna.
“Hyuna, Hyuna! Our daughter!”
Hyuna, leaning against the headboard in sleepwear, was receiving treatment for her bloodstained hands. When Sunyoung appeared, Hyuna turned her head away as if tired of her.
“Oh, our daughter, what should we do! It’s heart-wrenching. Director Park, is our Hyuna okay?”
While the doctor finished disinfecting and bandaging, Sunyoung shouted loudly. As the young doctor, barely in his early forties, wiped his hands, he reassured her in a calm voice.
“Don’t worry too much; it’s not a major injury. Even if there is a scar, we can remove it with laser treatment a few times.”
Picking up the tools brought by the attending doctor, Sunyoung stood up and thanked him.
“Thank you, Director Park. By the way, please be careful not to let our chairman hear about this incident.”
“Don’t worry, Chairman. Well then.”
As the attending doctor left, Sunyoung tightly hugged her daughter’s shoulders and comforted her.
“Hyuna, our daughter. Mom will take care of everything, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”
With a thud, a thrown envelope slid onto the table.
Young-jun, who had been holding his painful head, looked disdainfully at the quite hefty envelope. Across from him, Sunyoung, sitting with her fists clenched, gazed at him with an arrogant posture.
“Our daughter cracked someone’s head, and you don’t even say a word of apology.”
“Is what you want a genuine apology? Then I’ll put this money envelope in and sincerely apologize to you.”
Young-jun unexpectedly chuckled, thinking that dealing with her daughter’s mother was the same, holding onto people’s pride with a few bucks.
“Wow, Mrs. You’ve got quite the drive.”
“Call me Chairman, you brat. You’re living off the kindergarten’s food.”
Young-jun, who laughed off the scolding, shook his head at the sharp words.
“Yes, that’s right. Chairman.”
Sunyoung, dismissing his snarky attitude as if it were cute, gestured with her eyes toward the money envelope.
“That should be enough for you not to feel too bitter. Since I informed the hospital, go get a detailed examination. No, you might as well get a health checkup while you’re at it. I’ll reduce your vacation days, so stay in the hospital for a few days and rest. You like things for free, right? So don’t worry about the money.”
“Hey, lady, what are you doing now?”
Young-jun’s face gradually distorted.
“You’ve been taking advantage of our innocent Hyuna for fun all this time. You should have reasonable ambitions. If a young person likes free things so much, they end up losing their hair. What about you?”
Bang! Young-jun slammed the table and glared at her.
“Lady! What are you trying to do right now? Do you think I’ll just let this slide? Should I spread what happened today all over the internet? Huh?”
“Hey, you brat. Are you threatening someone right now? Sure, go ahead and spread it if you want. I might not know who I am yet, but if I set my mind to it, I can bury you in the land of Korea. Got it? A loser. To be able to fool around with kids at a kindergarten like this, you have to be pathetic. Do you understand?”
Sunyoung, who concluded her insulting advice with a snort, stood up from her seat.
“I found the toy my daughter used to play with cute. Take the money and get lost, you punk.”
Operated by reservation, a private room in a famous hotel bar. There, a discreet meeting was taking place.
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.”
