Yeo Woon didn’t understand why she was defending herself, but looking at Seol Ji Oh’s serious expression, she felt compelled to keep talking.
“I just came to have fun with a friend. I don’t meet guys at places like this.”
Seol Ji Oh looked at Yeo Woon doubtfully.
“Really!”
Yeo Woon felt so wronged, even her ears turned red.
She had merely come to have a pleasant drink with Seo Ga Ram…
“Where’s your friend?”
“She went to place an order. But really, what is this all about?”
As Yeo Woon pulled out her phone to call Seo Ga Ram, someone called her name from behind.
“Yeo Woon! Are you here?”
Turning around, Yeo Woon saw Seo Ga Ram dressed in flashy attire. Because the corridor where Yeo Woon was standing was dark, Seo Ga Ram approached with a cautious expression.
“Seo Ga Ram! What on earth were you doing when you went to place the order?”
“Oh, sorry. The bartender said he was a fan of mine.”
Seo Ga Ram responded with a bright smile. Then, she spotted Seol Ji Oh standing behind Yeo Woon and stopped in her tracks.
“Seol Ji Oh?”
With a look of curiosity, Seo Ga Ram took large strides towards Yeo Woon and Seol Ji Oh.
“Yeo Woon, what’s going on?”
Seo Ga Ram alternately looked at the two and asked Yeo Woon, who averted her eyes to look at Seol Ji Oh.
Uh… about what’s happening…
“I helped Yeo Woon because she seemed to be in a difficult situation.”
Seo Ga Ram was surprised by Seol Ji Oh’s friendly manner and looked at Yeo Woon, who had a troubled expression. After a moment, Yeo Woon explained.
“Well, it’s a long story… We were friends when we were young.”
“What? Friends?”
Seo Ga Ram’s eyes widened in surprise as she alternately looked at Yeo Woon and Seol Ji Oh and exclaimed.
“Wow.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you. I’ll explain everything later.”
At that moment, Seol Ji Oh suddenly asked Seo Ga Ram.
“Would you like to join us for a drink?”
Yeo Woon looked at Seol Ji Oh, wondering what he meant. In the meantime, Seo Ga Ram quickly responded.
“Oh my, sure!”
Before Yeo Woon could stop her, Seo Ga Ram followed Seol Ji Oh into the room.
Left alone in the corridor, Yeo Woon looked at the door where the two had disappeared with her mouth open in disbelief.
Having no choice, Yeo Woon followed into the room and was taken aback at the sight of the people sitting inside.
What kind of combination was this?
They were Chief Choi Hyun, Han Seo Ah, Seol Ji Oh, and the rising star Lee Do Yoon.
Choi Hyun, who seemed a bit drunk, hastily stood up from his seat when he saw Yeo Woon.
“Ms. Yeo Woon! Hello.”
Yeo Woon was slightly taken aback as Chief Choi Hyun, who always appeared formal, smiled at her slightly disheveled.
“Ah, yes. Hello.”
“Ms. Yeo Woon, don’t misunderstand! We’re not having a company dinner without you! This is a gathering that Do Yoon and Seo Ah prepared to repay their debt to Seol Ji Oh.”
Yeo Woon smiled at Choi Hyun, who had abruptly stood up and was gesturing with his hands as he spoke.
“Ah, yes.”
So, he’s the type who gets a bit friendlier when he drinks.
Han Seo Ah scanned Yeo Woon from head to toe while holding a glass of alcohol in her hand, then chuckled.
“What’s this. I thought you were someone else.”
The room had a large sofa set out in a ‘D’ shape. Chief Choi Hyun sat in the middle, with Han Seo Ah and Seol Ji Oh on one side, and Seo Ga Ram and Lee Do Yoon on the other.
Just as Yeo Woon was contemplating where to sit, Seo Ga Ram moved closer to Chief Choi Hyun, naturally leaving a spot next to Lee Do Yoon.
Yeo Woon gave a light nod in greeting to Lee Do Yoon, whom she had met for the first time that day, and took the vacant seat.
Chief Choi Hyun was about to greet Seo Ga Ram, who had moved next to him, but his eyes widened when she suddenly took off her jacket.
The leopard print halterneck knit was enough to make him doubt his eyes for a moment.
Wasn’t it winter now…?
With a bewildered look on his face, adjusting his glasses, Choi Hyun received a smiling greeting from Seo Ga Ram.
“Hello?”
“Ah, hello.”
Choi Hyun shifted his gaze as he greeted.
If you were to embody the word ‘glamorous’ into a person, it would feel something like this.
Despite being a profession where you meet countless celebrities, Seo Ga Ram’s glamor was somewhat bewildering.
From distinct facial features, a makeup that accurately amplified her charm, to bold clothing.
Choi Hyun lifted his glass to his mouth. Due to his job as a casting director, he could easily guess Seo Ga Ram’s occupation.
A vibrant voice with resonance.
“You’re a musical… actor, aren’t you?”
“Oh my, how did you know?”
Choi Hyun glanced at Seo Ga Ram, then looked forward again as he spoke.
“It’s because of my job.”
“Ah. What do you do? It doesn’t seem like you’re in acting?”
As Seo Ga Ram tilted her head, Choi Hyun took out a business card from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it to her.
“I work at VF. I’m Choi Hyun.”
Seo Ga Ram’s expression subtly changed as she received the business card. After a moment of thought, she leaned towards Choi Hyun and asked,
“What do you think of me?”
“Pardon?”
Choi Hyun looked at Seo Ga Ram, his eyes wide. As the vibrant features beyond his glasses came into view, Choi Hyun unknowingly swallowed his dry saliva.
At this, Seo Ga Ram smiled sweetly and said,
“My contract with the agency is about to end.”
“Ah….”
Choi Hyun’s lips parted slightly.
Meanwhile, Lee Do Yoon started the conversation with Yeo Woon, who was sitting awkwardly.
“I heard you signed a contract with the company recently. Welcome.”
“Yes, thank you.”
It was her first time seeing Lee Do Yoon up close. He had big, clear eyes like a calf and overall gave a gentle impression.
His chubby cheeks when he smiled were cute and his skin was so good that he could be mistaken for a high school student. Lee Do Yoon asked Yeo Woon.
“How old are you?”
“I’m twentyeight. What about you, Do Yoon?”
“Wow. You really look young. I thought we were the same age. I’m twentythree. Feel free to talk comfortably, sister.”
Lee Do Yoon was quite friendly. Yeo Woon laughed softly, finding it amusing how he casually called her ‘sister.’
Suddenly, a large hand reached over from across the table and passed a drink.
“Drink.”
Looking up, the hand belonged to Seol Ji Oh. Yeo Woon took the drink somewhat awkwardly.
But why did he get so angry earlier? Was I really that frustrating?
Yeo Woon took a sip of her drink, studying Seol Ji Oh’s expression. The bitter liquid flowed hotly down her throat.
As she put the glass down and looked forward, she noticed Seol Ji Oh sitting next to Han Seo Ah.
When Han Seo Ah started talking to Seol Ji Oh, he leaned in as if he couldn’t hear well.
Han Seo Ah whispered something in Seol Ji Oh’s ear, then burst into laughter.
But every time she laughed, she deliberately touched Seol Ji Oh’s shoulder or thigh a little, which Yeo Woon noticed.
Yeo Woon furrowed her brows.
Anyone can see she’s doing it on purpose. Doesn’t Seol Ji Oh realize?
Seol Ji Oh was just smiling, gazing at the pretty laughing Han Seo Ah. Yeo Woon felt her grip on her drink tighten without realizing.
“Sister, drink.”
At the sound of Lee Do Yoon’s call from beside her, Yeo Woon finally turned her gaze.
Yeo Woon clinked her glass against the one Lee Do Yoon held out, then suddenly feeling thirsty, she gulped down her drink in one go.
“Wow, sister, you can really drink.”
Lee Do Yoon laughed, refilling Yeo Woon’s glass. He propped his chin on the table and looked down at Yeo Woon.
“You really don’t seem like a sister. Why are you so cute?”
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.”
