The Day I Quit Being a Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
In the video, Eun Soo was stir-frying beef and seaweed with a blank expression.
― This is how you do it.
The camera, which had been focusing on the ingredients in the pot, had somehow shifted its gaze to Eun Soo’s face.
At first, I’d been startled when I saw this video.
She’d said she was going to record how to make seaweed soup, yet from a few seconds in until the video ended, all that appeared on screen was Eun Soo’s face.
But now, I was grateful for that very action back then.
Because thanks to it, I could at least see Eun Soo’s face like this.
― Some people season it lightly with salt and soup soy sauce, but do you want me to share a secret tip?
― A secret tip?
― Yes. When stir-frying beef and seaweed, add about a spoonful of anchovy or kkonari fish sauce—it makes it taste so much better.
Smiling like a kind cooking teacher sharing a secret recipe, Eun Soo grinned.
Hyuk Joo rewound that part again.
He wanted to see that fleeting smile that had briefly crossed Eun Soo’s face.
Over and over, he replayed the scene, his eyes never leaving Eun Soo’s image even for a moment.
Outside, the darkness began slowly fading.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
