“Really?”
“Yes. So hurry up and finish.”
“Yes!”
Shin Yeon’s voice, answering loudly, sounded excited to anyone who heard it.
“Manager, please come this way!”
With her head lowered, Shin Yeon moved towards the construction company employee who was calling her again.
Ah, how great it would have been if Director Jang had been our department head.
“No way.”
The voice vehemently rejecting the idea was Do Jun, who had been walking alongside her.
Ah, if Director Jang had been the chairman’s son, it would have been even better.
“Why?”
“I’m busy. I can’t even eat a meal.”
Oh, what on earth are you doing?
Where are we now that you’re saying it’s not allowed?
“Ah, please…… we’ve come all the way to Busan.”
Busan, this is Busan.
How can you leave without eating at least one seafood dish?
“We should stop by a rest area on the way. When do you plan to get home?”
“That’s not fair. I’ll be driving anyway, is it a problem if we’re a bit late?”
“That’s why I’m saying this because you’re going to be driving anyway.”
At his cheeky response, Shin Yeon bit her lower lip hard.
Her eyes seemed ready to weep at any moment, but her mouth revealed her anger in no uncertain terms.
“Then hurry as much as you can.”
Against his better judgment, Do Jun nodded.
Upon his permission, Shin Yeon’s face lit up again.
“Got it! I’ll be really quick. Newbie, just stay in the car then!”
“What?”
“I can check things here quickly! There’s no point in following me and slowing me down with explanations, just stay where you are!”
With twinkling eyes, Shin Yeon responded before swiftly running towards the site.
Do Jun quietly watched Shin Yeon as she excitedly ran away.
“What on earth.”
Isn’t she tired?
It was Shin Yeon who had been driving in his place all day.
He had brought a comfortable car for her convenience, but he couldn’t help but worry about her fatigue.
For some time now, Do Jun had despised driving.
Even in the immensely inconvenient United States without a car, he had sold his own vehicle.
“……I wonder if she’s okay.”
Do Jun blankly watched Shin Yeon’s retreating figure before heading back to the car.
“A newbie?”
Standing in front of the car was Director Jang, who had been watching them from a distance.
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Manager Shin, she’s quite diligent, isn’t she?”
“I’m learning a lot.”
“Despite her easygoing look, she doesn’t miss anything. She works well too. I’d love to have her as my daughterinlaw if I had a son.”
Do Jun attentively listened to his words with a respectful demeanor.
“She’s a good person. Trying so hard to appear strong that it looks clumsy.”
Do Jun got lost in his thoughts at his words.
A good person who tries hard to appear strong.
That was the impression he initially had of Shin Yeon.
Despite her meticulous observation of her surroundings, she didn’t back down easily and always made an effort to say what she wanted to say.
“……Quite an intriguing one.”
It was a different sight than Do Jun, who was used to holding back.
Trying to step back and straining to hold back his words, it was completely different from his usual self.
“Ah, from a view above.”
Lost in thought, Do Jun unwittingly described his new boss, Shin Yeon, as intriguing.
He quickly corrected his flustered words.
“What, it can happen.”
The department head laughed dismissively as he looked at Do Jun.
“Speaking of which, you.”
The words that followed were full of implication.
“……The more you grow, the more you resemble your mother.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Do Jun’s face instantly cooled.
“Do you, know me?”
“Aren’t you the second son of Chairman Seo Min Cheol?”
The expression of Department Head Jang remained gentle.
His laidback posture was filled with ease.
“At first, I was skeptical, but the more I see you, the more I see your childhood image. Seeing that you’re a new recruit, I guess you’re getting involved in equity acquisition.”
Do Jun scrutinized the face of Department Head Jang with eyes full of caution.
There were few who remembered his childhood appearance.
Who the hell was he?
A frown momentarily creased Do Jun’s forehead.
“I remember the day you first entered that house.”
“Perhaps……”
“It seems you remember.”
Do Jun’s face relaxed, unsure whether he remembered or not.
“My last task as a driver was to take you to that house.”
It was a very long time ago, but a day that could never be forgotten.
It was the moment when Do Jun first set foot in the Han Shin family.
It was a long time ago and the memory was vague, but there was a driver who had taken him to that house.
It seemed to be the man before his eyes.
“Young you had fear in your eyes.”
He recalled the young appearance of Do Jun.
“You must have been scared. A father and brother you suddenly started living with.”
“……”
“The burden must have been heavy for a child.”
Do Jun was also tracing the faint, but clear memories of that time.
The department head continued.
“That young child acted cool in front of the madam, but asked me afterwards.”
“……”
“What kind of people are the ones he’s going to meet.”
‘Uncle… what kind of people are my father and brother?’
The eyes of the little boy were very sad.
Even though his eyes were wet, he fearlessly asked him straight on.
Back then, in the eyes of the department head, Do Jun was a very small boy who was full of fear but tried to be calm.
The department head gave Do Jun straightforward advice.
Regarding the chairman he knew and his eldest son, Seo Do Hyun.
Without missing a beat.
“So, how was it? Was I right?”
That was the last duty he had performed as a chauffeur.
Afterwards, he was assigned to Hanshin Construction, where he worked in the construction industry for a long time.
At that time, all the secretaries and drivers were scattered somewhere in each branch.
“It was as you said.”
As always, Do Jun’s expression was hard to read.
However, Director Jang seemed to nod as if he understood his meaning.
“It seems my advice was helpful. That’s fortunate.”
“Thank you.”
Do Jun bowed to him.
Director Jang waved his hands in response to his polite greeting.
“What did I do? I merely told the honest atmosphere of the house.”
“It was of great help.”
Thud thud, a small water droplet fell from above.
“It seems like the sky is about to change.”
Director Jang looked up and left a meaningful comment.
“It’s about to rain, isn’t it?”
Do Jun nodded.
“I must go now.”
“Please do.”
Do Jun bowed again to him as he left.
“Alright, see you again sometime.”
Do Jun’s eyes deepened as he watched Director Jang’s departing figure.
Drip, drip.
As the raindrops became more intense, Do Jun opened the door and got into the car.
After a brief moment.
A sudden sound was heard, and heavy rain started to pour on the bonnet.
Then a familiar voice rang in Do Jun’s ears.
“Ah! Newcomer! The car door, the door!”
It was Shin Yeon, running towards him with a voice louder than the heavy rain.

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?”
