The Secretary's Power (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
On a rainy afternoon, the trivial time of lovers flowed by.
The two who met at the café stayed there for quite a long time. Hye Won took a small sip of the espresso he ordered and commented that it felt like it would burn a hole through her stomach, while Tae Beom took one bite of the chocolate cake she ordered and said it made his head spin.
Come to think of it, this kind of outdoor date felt like their first. They had walked many times under the pretext of a stroll, but most of those times they were looking at the same thing rather than at each other.
Being stuck in one space like this, just staring at each other’s faces, felt quite novel, and because of that, they ended up saying things they wouldn’t normally say.
He calmly told her that he had been appointed as president, and she calmly informed him that she had gotten a job at Gasin Airtech, as the CEO’s secretary, no less.
She also briefly added an update about her biological older brother Sung Heon, whom she had only recently learned about. Her brother said he had found a factory job making organic tableware, and though the pay was low since he was a beginner, he could live in company housing, so she shouldn’t worry—he had sent her a short message to that effect.
In many ways, it was a new beginning for everyone.
After chatting about this and that, only when the cake plate and his espresso cup were empty did they finally stand up. He opened the door and reached one hand behind him, and she naturally took the hand he extended while adjusting her bag.
“Do you like summer?”
While waiting for the crosswalk signal to change, Hye Won asked. Before he could even answer, she burst out laughing at the disgusted expression on Tae Beom’s face.
She remembered him saying he didn’t like spring when she had asked about it once.
“I hate summer. I absolutely detest the heat.”
“Then which season do you like? Autumn? Winter?”
“…….”
Come to think of it, there wasn’t really a season he particularly liked. Autumn had its own flaws, winter had its own, and rather than maximizing the good points, his personality tended to highlight the bad ones.
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.”
