“How amusing. Hey, if you’re going to fabricate something, at least come up with a believable story. Single-minded? Isn’t it better to just admit it?”
Sowon, who was mocking, furrowed her brows and carefully examined Dajeong’s dress.
“Hey, aren’t you a regular office worker? How can a regular office worker afford to wear luxury items like this? Did the rumored married man buy it for you?”
Although the rumored man wasn’t married, Dajeong didn’t deny that he was the father of her child. However, there was one thing she needed to clarify.
“You’ve got the wrong idea. He’s not a married man. Who spread such baseless rumors?”
“Then who’s the father of the child? There must be a father, right? How will you prove he’s not a married man?”
“The father of the child is…”
At that moment, the footsteps that had been approaching stopped, and a gentle hand reached out to gently wrap around Dajeong’s shoulder.
Startled, as she was about to shake off the shoulder, a soft kiss brushed against her cheek.
Smack.
Dajeong, taken aback, swallowed hard. Even with just the strong fragrance, she could instantly recognize who it was.
“Jagi, I’ve waited a long time.”
Though hard to believe, the speculation was not wrong. Sneakily turning her head, there he was. The best man in the world was looking at her with a tender gaze.
“Cha, Cha Junghyuk?”
“Oh my! Dajeong, who is this?”
Hyelin’s cheeks burst into admiration as she exclaimed. Despite the jealousy evident on the whole face of the voice actor, no one paid any attention.
The man who captivated everyone’s attention with a single glance around introduced himself.
“I’m the father of the child.”
The son-in-law broke the silence. At that moment, piercing through the prolonged silence, Hyelin exclaimed, “Ah!” in admiration.
“Ah, you’re Dajeong’s husband!”
“No, not a husband, just a dad.”
As he spoke again, a refined smile spread across his lips.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
“When and how did you two first meet?”
“Where was your first kiss?”
“Do you have any nicknames for each other? What do you call each other?”
Women who had gathered around suddenly bombarded them with various loud questions. Most of the immature questions came from junior colleagues still in their twenties.
“We first met five years ago in Spain. The first kiss and the first night were all in Spain.”
Cheers erupted, and feeling embarrassed, Dajeong clenched her fist tightly. She couldn’t understand why they were asking even unspoken questions.
“As for nicknames…”
Junghyuk, who was pondering for a moment, turned his eyes back to Dajeong.
“I’m Baby, and she’s Jaji. Combined, it’s Babig.”
With a casually made-up word, another cheer erupted.
“Since when have you been dating? Five years from Spain?”
Shooing away Sookyung to the opposite side and occupying the seat next to Dajeong, Junghyuk sat slouching and tilted his chin.
“We met five years ago, but we’ve only been dating for a month.”
This time, the heads of those listening twisted in surprise. The child was five years old, and no matter how you looked at it, it didn’t make sense chronologically.
In response to the bewildered reaction, Junghyuk fiddled with the knot of his tie.
“To put it bluntly, we’ve been together since having the child.”
Although the atmosphere became awkward, Junghyuk nonchalantly blurted out a shocking story.
Amidst some boisterous senior men making inappropriate jokes, Dajeong couldn’t lift her face in embarrassment.
“So, we thought about trying dating. Getting married would be even better. But Yoo Dajeong doesn’t want to get married, so I’m struggling.”
Sighs of sadness erupted, and at the same time, condemning gazes shot at the blushing Dajeong.
The sound of cicadas deepening in this autumn. It was a night that would be remembered as an unforgettable memory.
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?”
