In fact, one needn’t worry about such things within a family.
Seo Woo, who had gotten off the bus, stopped in front of a small noodle shop before reaching the apartment.
‘I’m hungry.’
She thought she should go in and have a quick bowl of noodles.
It was a cold day, and the thought of hot soup with noodles made her mouth water.
“Hello.”
Seo Woo greeted as she entered. The owner, who had been watching TV since dinner, welcomed her warmly.
“Welcome. Are you going to have some noodles?”
“Yes, I’ll have a Janchiguksu.”
In a cozy interior, Seo Woo sat at a wooden table and placed her order. Then there was a clear chime sound from the door bell.
“Ma’am, one bowl of noodles for me.”
The person who entered with the order was the owner of the fruit shop.
“Oh? Mr. Yoon. You also had noodles at lunch…….”
“I’m a noodle mania. Especially, our boss’s noodles are so delicious, haha. I thought about it even though I ate it before.”
“Well, my noodles are quite delicious. Have a seat.”
The noodle shop owner went into the open kitchen with a very pleased face to cook the noodles.
In the meantime, Yoon Seo Jun, the fruit shop owner, spotted Seo Woo and spoke in a surprised voice, as if he had encountered an unexpected person.
“Oh?! Who is this? Seo Woo, are you going in for dinner?”
“Yes, hello. I just got in too.”
“That’s good. It was lonely eating alone, may I sit with you? I was so surprised because it was such a coincidence.”
“Oh, yes. Please sit.”
As soon as Seo Woo gave permission, Mr. Yoon sat down across from her with a big smile. His actions of pouring water, folding tissues, and placing spoons were all very natural and attentive.
“Thank you. Your dinner is late.”
At her words, Seo Jun laughed.
In fact, he had had dinner earlier. After tidying up roughly, he had been loitering without closing the shop door, wondering if she would be late today.
But seeing Eun Seo Woo appearing from afar and going into the noodle shop, he quickly closed the door and ran over.
So, he came here purely to see Eun Seo Woo.
“Yes, well. In the course of doing business, you sometimes miss meal times, you know.”
“Was there an event today? My siblings said they received a lot of goods.”
“Haha, yes. Everyone took home a fair share.”
Surely, Seo Joon was even more excited when Shin Woo and Jun Woo had received theirs.
Despite all the complaints he got, such as, if there was anything left, why would he give everything away, wasn’t he bad at business, he endured everything. Seo Joon didn’t feel it was a waste to have anything going to Eun Seo Woo’s house.
“Here we are, your noodles have arrived.”
In no time, two bowls of banquet noodles were placed in front of the two. The toppings placed neatly on top of the steaming noodles looked quite appetizing.
“Looking at both of you, you two are quite…”
The noodle shop owner’s remark made Seo Joon smile first. Right, we match pretty well. To anyone’s eyes, we looked like a perfect match…
“Just like siblings.”
“Siblings?”
Not lovers but siblings? Woken up as if by a splash of cold water, Seo Joon asked back, and the owner chuckled and answered.
“You two have a very similar vibe. Both have skin like glutinous rice cake, and you both have such gentle smiles. Even your names, Seo Woo, Seo Joon, are just like siblings.”
“Oh, yes.”
Seo Joon answered with a somewhat deflated face. What I want is not to be siblings.
If we look like siblings to the point of being siblings, Eun Seo Woo might also find it difficult to feel any romantic chemistry with me. This kind of image shouldn’t solidify. I need to stop just watching, and it’s time to approach her actively.
Eun Seo Woo smiled, as if to mend the awkward atmosphere.
“Let’s eat well. This looks delicious.”
“Yes. Enjoy your meal.”
The owner, oblivious to Seo Joon’s disappointment, went back towards the TV. The most popular daily drama was on.
Eun Seo Woo, maybe because she was hungry, started to eat the noodles deliciously. Watching the noodles being slurped into her mouth, Seo Joon, who had already had a meal, felt his appetite return.
Maybe even the way she eats is pretty.
Her forehead was pretty, her eyebrows were pretty, her nose was pretty, her chin was pretty…
“Aren’t you eating?”
“Ah, I am. I was so hungry that I think I spaced out for a moment.”
With a grin, Seo Joon started to eat his noodles. Even with a full stomach, he could still eat more. It was always more delicious eating with good company.
“Oh dear, look at him wasting water like that. Tsk tsk. It’s a pity.”
At that time, the owner, who had been watching a drama in front of the TV, clucked her tongue with a pitiful voice. Seo Woo and Seo Jun’s gazes naturally turned in that direction as well.
“Oh? That guy finally confessed. Didn’t he have a onesided love for the female lead all by himself?”
Seo Woo, who also seemed to have watched the drama frequently, asked aloud, and the owner answered with joy in her heart, as if she had found a companion. After all, dramas are best enjoyed when you chat about them.
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?”
