The Bad Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“Are you really leaving like this? Why don’t you stay in bed a bit longer?”
“Lying down hurts more. I’d rather just rest at home.”
Ignoring Jung Geun’s suggestion to rest a little longer, Seo Woo insisted on being discharged right away.
Her body still felt heavy and drained, but there was no longer any reason for her to stay in the hospital. She already knew that even if she stayed hospitalized, Woo Jin wouldn’t come to see her.
At best, he’d only send Director Park to check on her condition—that would be all. Woo Jin was drifting further and further away. Until now, this truth had been one she refused to acknowledge, deliberately turning a blind eye to it. But now, it had become a reality she could no longer pretend not to see.
“You’re heading straight home, right?”
“Yeah.”
Jung Geun glanced at Seo Woo’s face through the rearview mirror, carefully gauging her mood. He’d expected her to immediately ask about Woo Jin the moment she got up, yet she hadn’t mentioned him even once. That silence left Jung Geun deeply uneasy.
“Executive Director Seo must be really busy these days, huh?”
Feeling as though Seo Woo’s closed mouth was like a ticking time bomb, Jung Geun finally brought up Woo Jin first. But she remained stubbornly silent.
“Let’s pick up some porridge before going in.”
“No. Take me straight home.”
“Why? You should at least eat something…”
“If I feel like eating, I’ll just order delivery. Right now, I just want to lie down in bed and rest.”
Jung Geun nodded at Seo Woo’s words.
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.”
