Huh. He clicked his tongue at Hye Won’s attitude, adding a comment with a bright smile.
“It would have been nice if you had a cup of coffee leisurely. Were you very busy outside?”
“Let’s start the briefing.”
“Yes! Director! I will get ready right away.”
He didn’t know why she spoke with a mellow, trembling voice.
Tae Beom’s eyebrows narrowed.
Is waiting for about three hours not even considered an issue? Did I appear too early, is that what it means?
“Director. Shall we start?”
That gentle voice made me uncomfortable. I was at a loss on how to hold back tears and runny nose, suddenly feeling anxious.
Tae Beom raised his hand.
“I’m good for now, let’s have the briefing again on the weekend.”
“Yes. Ye? Yes, yyes? The, the weekend?”
Hye Won’s eyes widened in surprise. Ah, it seemed like Tae Beom had discovered a chihuahua’s weakness, his eyebrows twitching slightly.
“Why? Don’t you like it?”
Say you don’t! Say you don’t like it!
“No, why would I. I understand.”
Hye Won quickly replied with her eyes round and bright, which made Tae Beom furrow his brow even more.
While putting back her laptop, Hye Won threw out a word.
“I’m really happy to have something to do over the weekend.”
Don’t lie! You’re lying!
“Should I come back on the weekend then? What time should I come, Director?”
“Just be on standby. I don’t even know my own schedule. I’m a busy person.”
“Yes. I am well aware of the great work the director is doing under such pressures. I express my respect.”
Huh.
“I am once again honored to serve such an extraordinary person, Director.”
Huh!
Tae Beom sighed at Hye Won’s soulless courtesy. With her cheerful smile to the end, Hye Won asked Tae Beom.
“Then, I’ll be on standby, Director.”
“Standby, where are you going?”
Tae Beom got up from his chair and picked up the jacket he had taken off.
…Ah? Hye Won followed Tae Beom’s movements with her eyes.
While watching Tae Beom neatly put on his jacket and look at her, Hye Won unknowingly clenched her fists.
“I have some work to do, follow me.”
Just…
“Do you know how to drive?”
Should I punch him…?
Should I punch him hard and then turn myself in…?
Hye Won nodded her head while hiding her thoughts, smiling as if she was about to attach the corners of her mouth to her cheekbones.
“Yes! I will drive you anywhere well!”
As Tae Beom, who was slightly trembling, moved his steps, Hye Won followed him while carrying a bunch of things.
I will observe where we’re going and who we’re meeting in detail and tell everything to the vice president!
Tonight, I was relieved that I could fill in one more line in the report to Ji Seok.
Hye Won hesitated in front of Tae Beom’s car. She tried to place him in the passenger seat, but Tae Beom climbed into the passenger seat himself.
“What are you doing, get in.”
The problem was not that a special gravel was sitting in the passenger seat.
How am I supposed to drive such a car…….
Hye Won scanned the sedan with a pale face. The moment she witnessed a sedan she had never seen or heard of before, her legs froze as if rooted to the ground.
“Are you not getting in?”
Such a car, which might cost more than my annual salary? Me? How?
“Ah, I ……”
As Hye Won continued to hesitate, Tae Beom lowered the passenger window and leaned his face out.
He twitched his eyebrows, unable to hide his delight in securing a ride.
“Can’t you drive? Failure to comply?”
“No, no, that’s not it. It’s not that I can’t drive ……”
“Then, are you saying such chores are not in the scope of work?”
Say it is! Please! Say it is!
“No, it’s not. It’s not, sir.”
“Then, am I making you uncomfortable by riding next to you, or, is it something more complex?”
“…….”
As Hye Won, who had been giving steady answers, suddenly fell silent, Tae Beom narrowed his eyes.
The joy of getting the upper hand even over a Chihuahua faded, replaced by rising irritation.
Hey! If you suddenly stop responding, it makes me look strange!
Hye Won, who had been absentminded, suddenly moved and climbed into the driver’s seat. She fumbled to find the seatbelt, and then sighed deeply.
Tae Beom looked at her with lukewarm eyes.
He reclined his seat as if to say he would half lie down while she drove.
“Sir, where shall I take you?”
“The address is on the navigation.”
It was a place he frequented, so it was saved.
“I’m sorry I don’t feel like driving right now, as you can see.”
Hye Won smiled subtly.
“Don’t worry. I have a tenyear accidentfree record.”
She put her hand on the steering wheel. That’s right. It’s do or die.
It’s not my car to scratch!
“Ahh, then I think I’ll take a nap on the way.”
“Yes, sleep comfortably, sir. I’ll get started.”
It’s not my responsibility!
The Chihuahua gripping the steering wheel trembled for a while. Tae Beom, who was about to fall halfasleep in a laidback position, slowly straightened his upper body.
“Why are you shaking so much?”
“Huh? Oh, because it’s cold.”
Tae Beom briefly checked the interior temperature.
“Oh, you’re shaking too much.”
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?”
