The Vice-Chairman I Accidentally Found - Chapter 83
Looking at Ha Joon, who still referred to Hyun Seong and Hye Seon as chairman and madam, he had guessed that Ha Joon hadn’t yet opened the door to his heart.
However, when his guess became a reality with just one sentence from Ha Joon, feelings of sadness took precedence.
Perhaps Ha Joon’s remark was quite a shock, as Si Woo and Ji Hoon were unable to continue their conversation for a while.
“Did we go too far, considering he must have been shocked about our uncle?”
Suddenly recalling Ha Joon’s pleading gaze, Ji Hoon broke the silence.
“Right. Ha Joon wouldn’t be able to figure out what’s wrong on his own.”
“Really, he’s a lot of trouble.”
Ji Hoon clicked his tongue in a resigned manner, getting up from his seat.
“He’s probably still worried. Should we talk to him now?”
“Yeah, let’s go downstairs.”
As they hurriedly went downstairs, the housemaid in the kitchen, hearing their footsteps, poked her head out.
“Do you need any snacks?”
“No, we’re fine. Please don’t mind us.”
Ji Hoon smiled and turned his head to scan the living room.
“Hey, Min Ha….”
When he didn’t see Ha Joon, whom he had assumed would be there, Ji Hoon trailed off.
“Huh? Looks like Ha Joon left.”
Following Ji Hoon downstairs, Si Woo also noticed the empty sofa and spoke in surprise.
“Um, over there…”
The housemaid, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, licked her lips.
“Ma’am, did Ha Joon leave? When did he go?”
“Well, about that…”
The housemaid hesitated, recalling Ha Joon’s words telling her not to speak.
“Feel free to tell us. Did something happen?”
Ji Hoon asked, taking a step closer.
“Master Ha Joon told me absolutely not to say anything, but I’m a bit worried.”
“What are you worried about?”
“A while ago, I heard a strange noise in the kitchen, so I went out to see, and Master Ha Joon was struggling to breathe and was drenched in cold sweat.”
“What? Ha Joon?”
Hyun Seong, who had been there at some point, asked in a raised voice.
“He looked like he was about to faint, so I said I would call the chairman, but he said absolutely not to say anything and then left.”
“If his condition was that bad, regardless of him saying not to tell, you should have told us.”
There was resentment in Hyun Seong’s voice.
“I’m sorry. He said he would be fine if he went home and rested a bit…”
The housemaid averted her gaze, not knowing what to do.
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?”
