Bowing deeply, Seojun buried his lips in Soyeon’s neck and spoke in a muffled voice, “You should stay close to me, don’t run away again…”
Startled, Soyeon, who had turned toward Seojun, urgently asked, “Seojun, did you know too? Mr. Seojun’s parents are in Vancouver.”
“Yeah, I knew.”
“Why are they at our house?”
“Why do you think?”
Asking, Seojun moved toward the front of the sofa, lowering his height next to Soyeon. Watching his movements intently, Soyeon finally managed to part her lips with difficulty.
“Perhaps… because of Hyunwoo?”
The time of the dog and the wolf. It refers to a moment when it’s difficult to distinguish between a gentle dog and an attacking wolf. Soyeon was anxious like that.
Apart from trusting Taeseojun, the thought that his parents might have come to take the child away shook Soyeon’s heart without a doubt. Until Seojun’s voice rang out again, her heart pounded heavily.
“Is it only Hyunwoo that my parents want? I think they want more than just a child.”
Seojun’s words froze the heart that had been thumping anxiously. Is he here to blame me for my mistakes? Did he come to ask why I hid the child from our mom and dad? Soyeon’s mind was shaken to the core with various thoughts as she anxiously awaited Seojun’s next words.
“What else do they want besides a child?”
“Perhaps they’re hoping for a marriage?”
“M-Marriage?”
“I know everything about that place, and my father can be quite persistent, even if you’ve done enough there. He might want more than just a child.”
“Oppa is…?”
“I approve too.”
“!”
What is this man saying right now? Soyeon, who couldn’t believe what she heard, blinked her eyes that had become round like saucers.
However, Seojun, who smiled and even winked, didn’t look serious at all. He seemed to be enjoying the situation. “Are you laughing now? Is marriage an easy thing?”
“It must be easier than giving birth and raising a child alone.”
“It’s not what I mean! Suddenly, with life turned upside down, Seojun, do you think such a marriage is okay?”
“What’s not okay about it? You suddenly became a mom. Even Eom Soyeon did it; why can’t I? Even if Mother doesn’t know, once Father decides to act, his momentum is no joke. He pushes forward like a complete bulldozer.”
“…!”
As if struck by a shock, Soyeon’s eyes, which had been sternly fixed, trembled. Her mind was as blank as a white sheet of paper. Moreover, Seojun’s following words struck a decisive blow to her bewildered mind.
“I also had thoughts of marrying you. It’s not something new.”
“S-So, I mean…”
Before Soyeon, who was too shocked to continue, Seojun cut in, “You have to be determined. I also have no intentions different from my parents.”
“Since when…”
When did you start thinking about marriage?
Before she could ask, Seojun answered.
“Since I suggested going to Spain together, I vaguely thought about it. When you proposed living together without knowing that Hyunwoo is my child, my feelings were already firm. Could such feelings change? Now, I’m going to do something more than marriage. Since the heavens are on my side and you are my woman, Eom Soyeon.”
“…!”
Soyeon, who forgot what to say due to Seojun’s candid confession, felt so excited that she thought her breath might stop. She couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry; she was at a loss. She just stared at him with twinkling eyes.
His lips casually held the word ‘marriage’ as if it were the most natural thing.
His confident smile, quite different from arrogance.
It wasn’t time to prepare for despair yet.
“Why did I come here?”
“I know at the discretion of the prison warden.”
“Does that mean I’ll be here from now on?”
“Yes, unless there are other instructions.”
The prison supervisor, who briefly answered in a stiff tone, soon closed and locked the cell door and stepped back.
Jung-hwa, carefully examining the small window where the sunlight came in and the neat space, clenched her fists.
…!
Well, that’s right. There’s no way this Jung-hwa Yoo will fall like this!
The fact that the prison warden himself came out and moved her from the uncomfortable general room to this comfortable single room meant that someone strong wanted to help her. Moreover, there was a defense attorney visit before coming here.
Since the attorney consistently avoided discussing who sent him, I had no way of knowing who that person was. However, I would soon find out who that person was. At a time when the suspect’s right to defense was urgent, there was nothing more welcome than the fact that the attorney came to me.
Some entertainment reporters were aware that Jung-hwa Yoo had been arrested. However, strangely, all the media remained silent. The attorney said it was thanks to the person who sent him that the media paid attention.
She had been proud as the top actress for the past decade. It should have been a position she deserved. However, with one mistake, she suddenly became a criminal overnight.
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.”
