The Secretary's Power (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Hye Won, having arrived early for work, was brewing coffee in the break room when Yang Hoon walked in.
Noticing an unfamiliar presence, Hye Won turned around and greeted him first.
“Good morning, Attorney.”
“Yes, yes. Ms. Hye Won. It’s not a great morning, but it’s morning nonetheless.”
Hye Won laughed at Yang Hoon’s greeting, clearly not excited about coming to work. She pointed to the cup.
“Shall I brew you a cup?”
“Sure. I was already waiting for one anyway.”
“Okay. Just a moment. I’ll give you this one first.”
Handing Yang Hoon the freshly brewed coffee, Hye Won smiled again. Yang Hoon, taken aback as he accepted the cup, looked into her face.
For some reason, she seemed a bit more at ease today, so Yang Hoon leaned casually against the cabinet.
Tae Beom’s voice buzzed in his ear: “Don’t make her eat meals full of silent reproach.” He could vividly picture that guy’s sharp eyes, ready to grab someone by the collar if he ever heard she’d been getting the cold shoulder.
“Ms. Hye Won, are you doing all right?”
“Huh? Oh… yes.”
Yang Hoon raised an eyebrow, wondering if he’d asked something awkward.
Sometimes indifference is a form of care. Lately, he’d been avoiding the office under the pretense of unnecessary fieldwork, thinking it better to leave her alone than to constantly pry with overt concern.
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.”
