“Then? Park Do Jun, what are you going to do?”
At that moment, the sound from the spoon held in Do Jun’s hand stopped.
Even the faint smile that had lingered disappeared, and Do Jun voiced what he had wanted to say all along.
“Hae Joo is my wife. She’s not someone you can covet.”
“You had no choice but to marry because of Miss Hae Joo’s mother’s debt, right? Is she still the wife of President Park Do Jun in this situation?”
“Of course.”
“Why?”
“Because there won’t be a divorce with Hae Joo.”
“But that’s different from the promise!”
“I never promised from the beginning. I only said I would watch.”
That’s when Director Kwak returned to his seat.
Seeing the chilly atmosphere at the table, he asked carefully.
“What were you two talking about?”
Jin Han smoothed his clothes needlessly, avoiding a response. On the contrary, Do Jun’s face was relaxed.
“Ah, it’s an office call. Excuse me for a moment.”
Director Kwak hurriedly left the table with his phone in hand.
As if waiting for this, Jin Han threw an emotional question.
“Didn’t CEO Park Do Jun live only for his own success when Miss Hae Joo was suffering so much?”
“Why did he need that success?”
“What?”
“You will know eventually. The reason why I had to take some time before I could meet Hae Joo again.”
With these meaningful words, the discussion concluded as Do Jun’s last statement.
Because Hae Joo had returned to her seat.
As soon as Director Kwak quickly ended his phone call, Jin Han stood up.
“Shall we go?”
He behaved as if nothing had happened. Quietly nodding, Do Jun stood up and took Hae Joo’s car key.
“I’ll drive. I left my car at the office.”
“Alright.”
On the other side, Jin Han put on his suit jacket.
He checked the time and grabbed Hae Joo.
“Miss Hae Joo, you didn’t forget about our plan after the meal, right?”
“Ah, that one.”
“CEO Park Do Jun, I will take Miss Hae Joo home later.”
Do Jun’s brows furrowed.
He didn’t know Hae Joo had a schedule other than lunch, so he asked directly.
“What’s going on?”
“Director has something separately……”
“There will be a charity fashion show soon, and there are a lot of costumes to choose from.”
Jin Han intercepted Hae Joo’s answer.
He looked at her as if asking for a reason for a schedule that even Hae Joo didn’t know about.
“I was busy and forgot to tell Miss Hae Joo. Miss Min Hee has left a bunch of costumes in the office.”
“Is that so?”
Since it was workrelated, Do Jun also couldn’t force Hae Joo to stay. Jin Han’s words weren’t convincing, but he stepped back.
“Drive there yourself.”
“You said you don’t have a car, Do Jun?”
“You can take a taxi.”
Director Kwak left the restaurant first, saying he was busy.
Before getting in the car he had parked, Jin Han bid his final farewell to Do Jun.
“I enjoyed the meal today, CEO Park Do Jun. …I’ll see you at the office, Miss Hae Joo.”
“Yes, Director.”
Jin Han’s car also left the restaurant parking lot.
Hae Joo asked Do Jun with a troubled expression.
“Is it really okay to take a taxi?”
“Don’t go.”
“What?”
“I said don’t go.”
Hae Joo was at a loss for words and tightly gripped the car key.
“Don’t go to that bastard, understand?”
It was both a request and an order from Do Jun.
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?”
