Despite sounding somewhat regretful, Si-hyun could see a subtle smile at the corner of Leon’s mouth. Ah, I wasn’t paying attention.
‘Maybe it’s better to get out of this situation?’
Taeha seemed to know why he was so willingly attending the wedding.
Although she realized it a bit late, the lingering regret for the private plane was hard to shake off.
“Chartering a private plane is quite expensive, right? You can’t do it often, can you?”
Seeing Si-hyun sulking, Leon comforted her affectionately.
“If Si-hyun wants, I can take you anytime. Don’t worry. Instead of Jeju Island, how about going abroad next time?”
Although the slight disappointment was relieved thanks to Leon, a new resentment towards Bora boiled up. My private plane, my family trip! Si-hyun felt betrayed.
“What time is the wedding?”
“I heard it’s in the late afternoon.”
Leon, looking at the watch, nodded. It was not even nine in the morning.
“Then we have enough time.”
While riding in the car Leon sent, Huisun was nervous inside.
The three of them were so desperate that she couldn’t refuse, but honestly, she didn’t feel like going on the trip.
[Even now, I’m still the person you love.]Since the press conference where he confessed, she couldn’t figure out how to treat Leon. After saying you looked cool, his attitude changed completely, making her more confused.
I like you.
You can hit me, you can do anything to me.
Since that day, Leon would confess whenever he had a chance and tease her with sarcastic jokes. Yet, there was no hint of playfulness in his eyes.
Following her like a Golden Retriever seeking attention seemed like a big lion to her now. She had mistaken the fur color as brown, but perhaps it wasn’t a dog but a lion. Lions don’t look at you with eyes that want to devour the other.
He occasionally looked at her with eyes that seemed to be suppressing something. Afraid, Huisun couldn’t meet those eyes directly.
But, a 3-day trip with that man…
Even now, she wanted to ask him to turn around and go back home, but in order to endure, she tightly gripped the newly bought rattan bag’s handle.
Embarrassed to talk about it with Si-hyun, she had visited the department store alone yesterday. She tried hard to make excuses, buying new clothes, bags, and even cosmetics. If she looked shabby on the trip, our Taeha would feel embarrassed.
However, she was aware that what she was conscious of wasn’t her son, and she was puzzled about the topic she wanted to escape from right away, yet on the other hand, she wanted to look pretty, and she didn’t know what her heart was.
“Chairman didn’t sleep well last night.”
Suddenly, sitting beside the driver, Secretary Jang spoke, and Huisun looked ahead in surprise.
“Yes?”
“The entire secretary office is busy planning the travel schedule. We went through a lot to select the outfit you’ll wear today, and we sweated a lot. I’ve been serving the Chairman for almost ten years, and it’s the first time I’ve seen him so excited.”
Huisun was speechless.
“I’m sorry. It’s all because of us…”
“No, thanks to you, everyone in the secretary office got a special vacation. We’ll only assist you to the airport, and we’re free for a week starting tomorrow.”
With a voice full of excitement, Huisun also felt a little lighter.
It’s not just the two of us going; we’ll be going with the kids. Huisun thought that it would be okay as long as Si-hyun stayed close to her.
When they arrived at the airport, Leon came running towards them as if he was delighted.
“You’re here?”
Seeing Huisun up close, he took off his sunglasses with a surprised expression. The admiration in his eyes as he looked at Huisun in a white and sky-blue striped dress, sandals, and a straw hat was evident.
“You, today, are too…”
Leon tried to say something but ended up trailing off. Huisun turned her gaze away, feeling embarrassed. Actually, she couldn’t look straight at him because it was too dazzling.
“Um, what about Si-hyun and Taeha? Haven’t they arrived yet?”
“Ah, about that.”
Looking around, Leon scratched his head with an awkward expression.
“They suddenly had urgent business at the company and had to leave. We have no choice but to go together this time.”
Huisun felt her vision darken. Just the two of us on the trip?
Unconsciously, she took a step back.
“Well, it can’t be helped if that’s the case.”
Although Leon had a disappointed expression, fortunately, he didn’t force her. When Huisun let out a relieved sigh internally, he turned to the secretaries.
“It’s unfortunate, but let’s treat the special vacation as if it never happened.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
The faces of the secretaries, who responded, instantly became gloomy.
“Secretary Jang, you mentioned that you were planning to go to Hawaii with your family, right? Cancel that. Secretary Park, you were planning to visit your in-laws. True, Secretary Choi was going to New York, I think? Unfortunately, cancel that too.”
Huisun sighed. She couldn’t win against the man on top of her head.
“…I’ll go.”
[Star Icon]“Ugh, it happened again!”
After hanging up the phone, Mi-joo chuckled. With a face that seemed to say, “When did I ever die?” her complexion was as healthy as ever.
After the recent commotion, President Yoon Taeha gained recognition surpassing most celebrities.
While his face was frequently covered in the press, due to netizens sharing his pictures everywhere, there seemed to be no one among the general public who didn’t know his face.
In comparison, Si-hyun had only one outdated sticker photo, but everyone would recognize her just by standing next to Taeha.
Huisun was sure that the General Manager Yoon Taeha would not let Si-hyun attend Bora’s wedding alone! If those two appeared together at the wedding venue, no one would pay attention to the bride and groom.
“This is the wedding gift I give. Damn it.”
Pointing her middle finger towards Bora’s photo, who was laughing brightly inside the mobile wedding invitation.
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?”
