“I don’t call this ‘revealing forearms.'”
Suddenly, he approached her and lowered his waist toward Hee-sun. Lowering his voice as if confessing a secret, he whispered,
“…You know? The real thing is different.”
Startled by the warm breath that clung to her ear, Hee-sun, without realizing, forcefully pushed his chest away with both hands.
“Eek!”
Caught off guard, the man stumbled, losing his balance. With a swift motion of his arms, he flailed and ultimately collapsed on the water’s surface, like a mouse falling into water that had unexpectedly jumped out of a photo shoot.
“Splash!”
As Hee-sun burst into laughter, Leon made an angry face.
“Are you laughing right now?”
The man, who had unexpectedly fallen into the water, struggled to maintain balance. Suddenly, as if giving up, he sprawled on the water’s surface.
After this unexpected attack, Hee-sun, feeling victorious, poured water onto Leon without reservation. He didn’t show any mercy.
The water fight escalated, eventually reaching a point where they were both dunking each other in the water.
“Hey!”
Squeezing Leon’s head tightly to force him to drink water, he struggled for a while. Ignoring his struggles, Hee-sun grabbed his arm and went in to make him drink. In the process, they ended up going deeper into the water.
Although Leon’s water level barely reached his waist, for the much shorter Hee-sun, the water reached up to her chest.
“It’s too deep!”
Not knowing how to swim, Hee-sun, scared, unknowingly wrapped her arms around his neck. As if Leon had been waiting for this, he hugged her back tightly.
Surprised, she quickly released her arms, but her entire body was already firmly embraced by him.
A heated gaze stared at her eyes from a very close distance. Gradually descending, it stubbornly lingered on one spot.
“…….”
On the lips adorned with the lipstick she had applied, thinking of him.
Hee-sun couldn’t even catch her breath.
After a while, the man turned his gaze away and mumbled.
“…Shall we go out now?”
It was a trembling voice, as if holding back something, something that was pressing down on him.
[Star icon]After Borah’s wedding, Si-hyun returned home in Tae-ha’s car.
“Wouldn’t it be better for us to stay at the hotel while your father is in Jeju Island?”
Although Tae-ha said that, Si-hyun shook her head.
“I want to sleep at home tonight. You go to the hotel.”
In fact, the cuddly was kept separately.
The next day was Sunday, which happened to be Tae-ha’s birthday. So they had planned a family trip to celebrate, but since they couldn’t go on the trip, Si-hyun wanted to cook seaweed soup for him in the morning.
Since they couldn’t cook in the hotel, Si-hyun deliberately came home. However, Tae-ha, who didn’t know about Si-hyun’s plan, wanted to be with her in any way possible, not because of malice but because he didn’t want to leave Si-hyun alone.
“You were surprised a lot today. Don’t worry and come early tomorrow morning.”
Si-hyun, who reluctantly sent Tae-ha away, went to the mart to buy various things and prepared a birthday table.
She started by boiling seaweed soup. She seasoned the ribs and set them aside, made a stir-fried dish, and prepared the butter-fried shrimp. She washed all the vegetables for the salad.
After preparing everything, she felt something was missing. Realizing that the cake was missing, she hurriedly went to a nearby bakery, bought a cake, and returned.
“Si-hyun.”
She was about to enter the building of the one-room, but suddenly someone blocked her way, and Si-hyun was startled, dropping the cake box.
“…Woojin oppa.”
Countless thoughts crossed her mind in an instant. Could it be that Borah’s next? Is it my turn now? Did he come to bother me?
Si-hyun forced herself to put on a composed expression.
“What’s my brother doing here?”
“Didn’t you see it earlier? It’s about Borah’s wedding.”
Like a dog eagerly awaiting its owner’s praise, Si-hyun was dumbfounded by the expectant expression on Woojin’s face. I had known that it was Woojin’s doing, but I never expected him to come and proudly talk about it.
“So, what about it?”
“You’ve been through a lot during this time, right? That awful woman, sending out strange articles, making you suffer without any fault…”
Suddenly, Woojin looked at Si-hyun with pitiful eyes.
“Don’t worry anymore, Si-hyun. I’m here.”
“What?”
“I’ve paid back everything you’ve been through, so now we can forget everything and go back to where we were.”
Si-hyun doubted her ears.
Doing such things for me? Even suggesting we go back to where we were?
“Don’t be ridiculous. Why drag me into your dirty deeds?”
If he were the old Woojin, he would have angrily retorted, ‘Did you say everything?’ However, Woojin didn’t get angry; instead, he calmly spoke.
“Listen. She planned to break our marriage from the beginning and approached me systematically.”
The soft voice, like comforting a child, sent shivers down her spine.
“Falling for such a trick and breaking up is humiliating. Now is the time to go back to where we were, right?”
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.”
