“Nice, right?”
Even as she responded impulsively, Shin Yeon was busy reading the room.
“Did you come out first on your own?”
“Yes… Huh? Yeah.”
The questioning Do Jun seemed relaxed as if he had finished scanning the situation.
Knowing it was an act and watching it… was truly impressive.
“Are the people still inside?”
“That… right?”
Park Jin Woo, who was standing in front, had quite a watchable expression.
He was stiff, not saying a word.
Shin Yeon, as if to show off, ignored him and gave a bright smile towards Do Jun.
Then suddenly,
“Let’s go. We should greet them.”
Huh?
At his words, she, who had been deeply engrossed in the situational play, snapped back to her senses.
What did he say?
“Where, where to?”
“Inside.”
No way.
“No? We don’t have to……”
There was no chance to stop him.
Do Jun gently grabbed Shin Yeon’s hand and led her into the lounge bar.
Shin Yeon followed him, her eyes wide open in bewilderment.
Hey, wait a minute.
“Huh? Shin Yeon?”
“Did you come back? Who’s next to you…….”
It was not hard for Do Jun to find Shin Yeon’s party.
Anyone could see that a bunch of suits, as if they had attended a wedding, were focusing on them.
“Hello.”
When Do Jun greeted them with a friendly smile, their eyes widened.
Behind their intertwined hands, Park Jin Woo was slowly approaching.
“Huh? That guy from Han Electronics… Shin Yeon’s boyfriend?”
No sooner had the colleague finished speaking than someone sprung up from his seat.
“……?”
Calm down, Jeong Eun. Sit down for now……
I understand. I know how you feel.
The surprised Jeong Eun’s eyeballs looked like they were about to pop out.
“I thought we should say hello since we’ve come this far.”
Do Jun’s smooth response, like a prepared interview, followed.
Jeong Eun’s gaze, as if she was going to spit out champagne, was still the same.
But Shin Yeon did not have the energy to care about Jeong Eun’s gaze.
The most bewildered person in this situation was herself.
This was not in the plan.
“So, your real boyfriend really came to pick you up…….”
The boyfriend who came to pick up Shin Yeon.
What seemed like an excuse had become a reality.
All the eyes of those sitting at the table were on Do Jun.
And she felt it.
All the compliments they were throwing at him.
‘He’s, he’s handsome.’
‘Truly. It’s incredible…….’
‘My god…… unbelievable.’
There was not a single person who came to the wedding afterparty casually.
Especially, it was a college classmate’s wedding.
As it was a place to gauge social standing, everyone was dressed in formal suits and adorned with splendid luxury goods.
Yet, Shin Yeon was certain.
Do Ha, who showed up in casual attire, looked more splendid than anyone else right now.
And she knew that best.
“Considering my greediness of only bringing Shin Yeon, I wonder if it dampens the mood.”
Because it was none other than the daytime version of Do Ha.
“Ah, it’s a bit disappointing but it can’t be helped.”
At Do Ha’s gentle comment, every woman’s gaze twinkled.
Shin Yeon wasn’t particularly surprised by these gazes.
It was something she had always experienced at work, even personally.
Yes… if it was the daytime Do Ha, it was enough to be enchanting.
“Thank you for understanding.”
However, what was surprising was his confident demeanor.
He had the affectionate appearance of Lee Hyun Woo, but a different kind of confidence from a newbie.
Shin Yeon found it awkward.
It was as awkward a scene as the warmth coming from his hand.
“Do you want to sit for a bit? You’ve come all the way here after all…”
“That’s right! Please sit for a while.”
The cheeks of the female seniors who met his eyes were suddenly flushed.
“No. I have a schedule reserved with Shin Yeon, so it seems a bit difficult.”
Despite the disappointment in their expressions at Do Ha’s firm rejection, Shin Yeon breathed a sigh of relief internally.
Ha, I was worried about whether we should sit and drink.
“However.”
But it was too early to be relieved.
“Let me pay for everything you’ve had so far.”
Huh? What…?
“Oh my, oh my.”
“My goodness….”
As soon as his words ended, the table quivered.
Shin Yeon examined him with wide, surprised eyes, but Do Ha was calm.
“But… is it okay?”
“Oh my, can you do that? A lot will come out here….”
The surprise was momentary.
Despite the apologetic tone, there were smiles full of everyone’s faces.
“I’ll order a couple more bottles of champagne. Please continue to enjoy.”
Praise continued from all around at the increasingly flamboyant Do Ha.
“Wow, Shin Yeon’s boyfriend is cool.”
“We will enjoy it!”
Despite the showering admiration, Shin Yeon was busy rolling her eyes and mind.
It wasn’t just one table, it was the scene of a gathering of at least four tables.
Moreover, a hotel lounge bar.
It was clearly not a size to end with a penny or two.
No, why is he doing this…..
“I really… don’t need to do that.”
Shin Yeon whispered something only for Do Jun to hear, and he responded by slightly tightening his grip on the hand he held.
It seemed like he wanted her to just stay still for a moment…….
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.”
