The 7-Day Contract (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
The café, bustling since early morning, only regained a semblance of calm shortly before lunchtime.
Having weathered the morning rush of commuters, Sol Yi turned toward the window with a slightly exhausted expression—and then shook her head faintly.
If he’d already dropped Si Woo off at school, why didn’t he just go home? Instead, since morning he’s been sitting in someone else’s café, moping around like some tragic heroine. It makes onlookers feel oddly unsettled.
A small glass bottle filled with water sparkled in the sunlight. Her vacant gaze lingered endlessly on the single violet cosmos blooming above it.
Da Jung had no way to soothe her gloomy mood. It stemmed from that day’s incident, revealed unexpectedly through the “Terrible Trio’s” sudden apology.
Apparently, Si Woo had been teased for being fatherless. The more she thought about it, the more a lingering sorrow sank heavily into the hollow of her chest.
She’d considered the possibility that her child might face such mockery as he grew older—but now that it had actually happened, she found herself utterly at a loss for words to describe how she truly felt.
Concerned about the emotional wound Si Woo might have sustained, Da Jung ultimately couldn’t avoid carefully probing him for details about the incident.
When she asked cautiously, Si Woo seemed to realize belatedly the gravity of the situation—his expression grew flustered as he grasped that the secret was no longer a secret, given he’d already gracefully accepted Yae Rim’s apology.
In any case, sensing concealment was no longer viable, Si Woo readily confessed everything.
Yet, perhaps fortunately, contrary to her fear that the “no dad” taunts had deeply wounded him—surprisingly, Si Woo appeared to have nearly forgotten the emotions he was expected to have felt then.
Unexpectedly, his focus shifted to an entirely different subject. Excitedly chattering, as if barely containing what he’d longed to share, his narrative centered on “Tiger Uncle” and the “Handsome Dad.”
“Tiger Uncle said… um… Dad was super smart and athletic! And… also… he was tall and incredibly handsome, so popular with women! So he said when I grow up, I’ll be even cooler than Dad!”
Clearly, the man hadn’t held back from shamelessly bragging in front of the child. Naturally, she hadn’t expected humility from him anyway.
Still, the fact that he’d gently eased Si Woo’s young heart and prevented deeper hurt brought her relief—though, at the same time, a nagging discomfort lingered deep within.
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.”
