Hiccup. Hiccup.
A series of hiccups burst forth.
While I was frozen, doing nothing, Louis suddenly stood up and exclaimed,
“Ah, caught!”
Kashar Vladis turned his gaze to Louis.
“What did you catch?”
“I caught Michael. Aileen said to keep it a secret from him!”
“Oh, is that so?”
Kashar gestured as if asking Louis to elaborate.
As if talking covertly, Louis whispered,
“Yes, she said the picnic is also a secret.”
At Louis’s rambling, Kashar’s smile deepened. The situation was getting worse.
‘Saying that will create a misunderstanding!’
Furthermore, the conversation was strange.
Depending on how you heard it, it was either correct or
‘I seem like a wife who has brought another man into the house without her husband’s knowledge!’
In this scenario, I had become an adulteress.
Worse yet, the other man was my husband’s halfbrother.
‘A messy drama indeed.’
As I kept my mouth shut, Kashar’s gaze turned back to Michael.
Michael was shivering like a puppy who had encountered a beast.
‘Where is this story heading?’
Was there an original story where the male protagonist dies?
‘I’m sorry, Elysius. I can’t seem to keep your match safe.’
It was time to express my condolences to Michael and the girl I hadn’t yet met.
“Eh, Brother.”
Michael was on his knees facing Kashar.
‘Well, technically he is his older brother.’
It was surprising how strange the truth could sound.
Michael looked pained, his face nothing like Kashar’s.
“It’s all my fault. I begged my sisterinlaw to invite me.”
“…Sisterinlaw?”
Kashar’s eyebrow twitched.
“Sorry, I have caused my sisterinlaw trouble.”
“Sisterinlaw…”
Was he even listening to the apology?
Kashar seemed fixated on a single term.
‘Here’s my chance.’
Saving Michael was of utmost priority, screw the titles.
I slapped the seat beside me and called out,
“Sit here!”
“Yes, Brother, you should sit as well.”
Michael perched on the corner, as if making his escape.
“Hmm.”
After alternating his gaze between the empty seat and us, he decided to join the picnic.
“Shall we eat then?”
It was the moment the late morning picnic finally began.
‘Thank goodness I packed plenty.’
After all, a full belly makes a person docile.
Luckily, food was at hand.
“Let’s eat well!”
“We will eat well.”
After the twins’ shout, little hands grabbed a roll of kimbap each.
Soon, one of their cheeks puffed out like squirrels.
The children, munching on kimbap, held their cheeks and exclaimed,
“Savory, salty, crunchy! And soft!”
“It has such a variety of flavors.”
The savory was sesame oil, and the crunchy was pickled radish.
Kimbap with rice, egg omelet, and even vegetables they usually despised, was the perfect picnic food.
“Then I’ll also…”
Timidly, Michael took a bite of kimbap.
His jaw movements slowly accelerated.
Soon, his eyes widened in admiration.
“Wow, this is delicious. I’ve never tasted anything like this. It looks so beautiful too… What is this, it looks like it’s studded with gems?”
Michael was pointing to the carrots embedded in the kimbap.
“It’s carrot, sliced and sautéed.”
“Carrot? I can’t eat carrots, how did you…?”
Apparently, there was another picky eater.
Louis nodded, as if he understood Michael.
“Bro, I also couldn’t eat it before! But I can eat anything Aileen makes. Aileen has magic hands!”
“I also don’t have food pickiness with what Aileen makes.”
Evan, who was the king of picky eaters, joined in.
With that, Michael’s gaze toward me was almost venerating.
“Are you a chef, sisterinlaw?”
“I’m not a chef. Just someone who likes to cook.”
“My goodness, you transcend professions. Truly admirable…!”
I pushed another kimbap toward Michael.
“Stop talking and eat.”
“Yes.”
Should I be grateful that he listens well?
‘Getting too much praise makes my skin crawl.’
I brought a piece of kimbap to Kashar’s lips.
“For Kashar as well!”
He seemed to know what I intended and smirked.
Soon a piece of kimbap found its way into his slightly open mouth.
“How is it?”
Even if someone always enjoyed my food, presenting a new dish always came with a sense of nervousness.
Then he smiled.
“You really make it impossible to get mad.”
His smile was different from when he ate something tasteless; it was the smile of someone who had genuinely enjoyed the food.
“Eat more. Have a lot!”
It was nice seeing our little ones and Michael eat well, but Kashar’s words held another meaning for me.
“It feels like a family when we all eat together!”
Nomnom.
While eating kimbap wrapped in egg, Louis shouted.
‘It does feel like family food.’
Especially homemade kimbap had a special meaning.
Not just for picnics; the whole family often gathered to make it.
It was strange; I could only eat one roll outside, but at home, I could eat five.
‘Is it because it’s made with love?’
I could think of no other explanation.
As I was popping a kimbap into my mouth,
Michael nodded as if agreeing with Louis.
“Yes, it does feel that way.”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
