The Young Boss (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
When I opened my eyes on the morning of the third day after suffering through two full days and nights of illness, my fever had completely broken. I felt as light as if I could float away—both my body and my heart.
Si Hyeon sat up. Her eyes fell upon a large man slumped against the headboard of the bed, curled up tightly in sleep. He must have stayed by her side all night and finally dozed off from exhaustion.
‘Of all people, you had to fall for me—you really picked a tough lot.’
Si Hyeon sighed quietly so Tae Ha wouldn’t hear. There must be enough women who adore him to circle the globe, yet he had to choose her.
Sunlight squeezed through the window and illuminated Tae Ha’s face. Si Hyeon couldn’t tear her gaze away from his countenance, which looked as though it had been masterfully painted by a seasoned artist.
‘Thank you. Without you, I wouldn’t have found the courage.’
She murmured softly under her breath as she gazed at his sleeping face.
If Tae Ha hadn’t told her it wasn’t too late, that she could still do it, she would have walked blindly into the inferno called marriage without ever knowing the truth.
After a moment, Si Hyeon stretched energetically and spoke brightly.
“Department Head, wake up! You’ve got to go to work today!”
Dressed in a deep navy H-line skirt and a lightweight blouse, Si Hyeon walked down the hallway with a light, dance-like step.
With every movement, her crystal earrings jingled cheerfully. Passersby couldn’t help but turn and stare at her peach-tinted cheeks and lips, and her refreshingly bright smile.
“Wow, Ms. Si Hyeon! Why are you so beautiful today?”
“Was I ever not beautiful?”
“Wow, they said Assistant Manager Kang was getting married, and look how she’s absolutely glowing!”
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.”
