Even when she got angry or annoyed, he didn’t comfort her as before but remained silent or left the place.
Frustrated but unable to vent her anger, Gohyeon-a stopped talking and scrutinized his face.
Is he really okay?
Or has he become so accustomed to wounds that he considers this nothing?
“Are you… okay?”
“Wuna.”
Instead of answering, Seungjae suddenly called her name. He looked into the air, and his lips trembled for a moment.
“Since you’re already a top star, it’s okay even without me. I’ll support other rookie actors.”
“Are you going to leave me for someone else?”
Seungjae let out a bitter laugh, seemingly incredulous.
“What kind of relationship is there between you and me? That expression is a bit much, Hyuna.”
“Oppa!”
Gohyeon-a always had confidence in Seungjae’s feelings. This foolish man knew only her and liked only her.
But now he suddenly became an entirely different person. Gohyeon-a found it difficult to accept the current situation.
Seungjae was a man she couldn’t do without. How could he say such things to her?
Suddenly, Gohyeon-a began to speculate on when Seungjae had changed.
The moment he changed his attitude.
As she recalled, something clicked in Gohyeon-a’s mind.
The day she first met Chairman Lee Jun-young. She had encountered Seungjae in the underground parking lot that day.
Yes, it was since that day.
“Oppa, are you jealous of Chairman-nim?”
Seungjae sighed at her words, turning his face away as if reluctant to answer.
Reaching out, Gohyeon-a grabbed his arm and said, “There’s only you for me. Meeting Chairman-nim is just work. The person I trust in this world is only you… If you leave me…”
“Hyuna, stop it.”
Seungjae released her hand clinging to his arm. Unbuckling his seatbelt, Seungjae left her with only a message to calm down and got out of the car.
Left behind, Gohyeon-a was dumbfounded. Something unimaginable had happened.
Seungjae let me go first…
This foolish man, who would do anything she asked, was leaving her first.
But why does it feel like the sky is falling…?
Gohyeon-a couldn’t understand her own emotions. Just for Seungjae.
After a long time, the cast of the movie “Arrow” gathered in one place. It was to determine the promotional direction a week before the production preview.
Yeonu sat next to Seol Ji-oh.
A little earlier, as Director Byeon entered and shook hands with her, he expressed a lot of concern, offering words of comfort, saying he was worried about her, unlike turning away. Yeonu smiled, assuring him that everything was fine.
As they were seated, conducting the meeting, Gohyeon-a arrived a bit late.
She apologized and quickly took her seat, but her expression wasn’t good. She seemed anxious about something.
Director Byeon glanced at her for a moment before turning his gaze and speaking.
“Just prepare a brief impression at the production preview. Honestly, I don’t have the desire to make our actors entertain, but the production company keeps requesting, so we might catch one or two. Please keep that in mind.”
“Yes.”
“And about the movie… Well, let’s decide after the preview. At least I like this film.”
A self-assured smile briefly crossed Director Byeon’s face. Yeonu’s heart swelled at that smile.
I quickly became eager for the next week to come to watch a movie.
“Let’s stop the meeting and go for a meal.”
The place everyone moved to was a nice Chinese restaurant. As they entered the room and sat around the round table, people engaged in various conversations.
Yeonu briefly glanced at Min Ji-wook, who was sitting at a different table. They had been together since the meeting today, but he didn’t say anything to her other than exchanging glances.
“Is it natural?”
Yeonu acknowledged it, but she was a bit worried about him. He seemed to have lost weight and looked unhealthy, probably due to working hard.
At that moment, Seol Ji-oh muttered softly from the side.
“Stop staring at that side and let’s eat.”
“Uh, sure.”
Yeonu, who had been awkwardly holding her chopsticks while looking at Min Ji-wook, began to eat. Just then, a waiter brought the completed dishes and placed them on the table one by one.
“Wow, looks delicious.”
Yeonu, with an expectant expression, was looking at the appetizing dishes when suddenly Gohyeon-a covered her mouth next to her.
“Ugh.”
Surprised, Yeonu looked at her.
“Are you okay?”
Gohyeon-a, after pretending to be sick again, stood up and rushed to the restroom.
“Is something wrong…”
Yeonu looked a little worried, then turned her attention back to the food.
It was quite some time before Gohyeon-a returned. She picked up her bag with a pale face.
“Director, I’m not feeling well today, so I don’t think I can eat. I’m sorry.”
“Oh, okay. Go ahead then.”
Director Byeon stood up and escorted her.
Yeonu smiled, thinking about the quiet and weak appearance of Gohyeon-a today.
Something must be wrong. Is she feeling unwell?
Seol Ji-oh, next to her, scooped food onto Yeonu’s plate and said, “Did you say you organized the new house with Kang Geon-woo today?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Yeonu had decided to move to a new place this time. It was only natural after the accident in front of her old house.
Just thinking about her old house made her heart pound anxiously. Fortunately, while she was resting in Yangpyeong, the company had found a new apartment for her and moved her belongings, so there wasn’t much for Yeonu to do.
“Garam is also coming. We’re going to organize things in the new house together.”
“Yeah, I just stopped by the company because I have work, but I’ll go straight to your house.”
“Okay.”
After the meal, people parted ways, looking forward to the next week.
Arriving at the company, Seol Ji-oh went to the CEO’s office.
Knock, knock. As he opened the door, Joo Seok-yeong was making coffee.
“Oh, I want to have the coffee the CEO is making.”
At Seol Ji-oh’s cheeky muttering, Joo Seok-yeong picked up. She smiled and brought another cup.
“I’ll bring it down for you. Sit.”
Seated, Seol Ji-oh habitually organized the documents scattered on the table.
While doing so, he raised his eyes at a photo tucked between stacks of papers.
“Are you going to explode this?”
“Oh, the photo? It turned out well, didn’t it?”
Seol Ji-oh looked at the photo of two individuals. MH Group Chairman Lee Jun-young and Go Hyeon-a, holding hands affectionately.
Joo Seok-yeong brought coffee and sat across from Seol Ji-oh.
“I heard an interesting rumor these days.”
“What is it?”
“They say Chairman Lee is going to step down, and Go Hyeon-a will take his place.”
“What?”
The most popular actress marrying a divorced man with a child?
Seol Ji-oh chuckled.
“People will love it. It’s going to cause a huge uproar with all the gossip.”
“Lately, Go Hyeon-a has been doing so well. How about delaying revenge?”
“When is D-day?”
“On the day of the preview.”
Seol Ji-oh’s lips slightly curved.
They’ll reveal it on that day?
Joo Seok-yeong smirked.
“Noise marketing. It’s what I do best.”
This guy is a scary person…
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?”
