“He’s always like this, spewing whatever he wants and leaving.”
Ra Jin asked Jae Heon, who was muttering.
“Director, who is that person?”
“An old acquaintance of my grandfather.”
The strange gaze that seemed to pierce him was bothersome, even though he just said it was an acquaintance.
“I don’t know if I should say this… but he seems like someone with a gift.”
“Your grandmother was a shaman. So, you might have a bit of sight too.”
“Really?”
“My grandfather says it’s supernatural. But I think it’s experience accumulated over years.”
Jae Heon, who doesn’t believe in unscientific things, believed the old man’s words were the wisdom of an old man rather than supernatural phenomenon passed down through bloodlines.

Anyway, Jae Heon listened to the old man’s words, as he was rarely wrong.

Ra Jin was going to climb to a high position.

It was too little for him to kneel before her and plead, even cling!
‘Could she be resigning and going to a competitor? Climbing to a high position there?’
It seemed Ra Jin was thoroughly determined. The old man, who has lived for a long time, would probably see this resolve.

Remembering his grandfather’s words, ‘when you want to persuade someone, start by feeding them good food’, Jae Heon gave her a spoon.

Ra Jin’s eyelashes trembled at the sudden touch.
“Today, it’s Bulgogi set meal. It’s one of the dishes Director makes best.”
It was a dish that the old man often made since he was a child.

When his insomnia worried his grandfather, ‘For kids, Bulgogi is the panacea.’ The old man would nonchalantly place a dish in front of him. The sight of the old man made a smile creep onto Jae Heon’s lips.
“Try it. It will be delicious.”
Ah……

Ra Jin hastily bowed her head and lifted the spoon.
“I’ll eat well.”
“Me too.”
Jae Heon’s gentle smile shook her heart fiercely.

The impulse became stronger.

The impulse to be the person closest to him, even if it was only for one day.

As if trying to calm her heart, Ra Jin took a shallow breath and collected the steaming rice and wellcooked meat with her spoon, thinking she should divert her attention elsewhere.

The moment she put the food in her mouth.

Ra Jin’s eyes widened.

The bulgogi rice bowl she had eaten until now didn’t seem like food, considering how delicious this was.

With its simple yet rich, and clean aftertaste, she unknowingly let out an appreciative hum, and continued to spoon it in.
“See? Wasn’t I right?”
Ra Jin, her mouth full of food, covered her mouth with her hand and nodded twice.
“It’s really delicious!”
Ra Jin was so immersed in the flavor of the old woman’s food that she unknowingly exclaimed aloud.

It was a flavor she had never tasted at any famous restaurant, nor at any highend restaurant.

Jae Heon tilted his head as he watched her busy hands.

A smile surfaced on his lips.

It was a relaxed look he never showed while dining with his business partners.

Her small mouth stuffed with food, her slightly puffed cheeks, and the corners of her eyes that crinkled slightly, seemed incredibly cute.

“I didn’t know you loved eating so much.”
“Ah…..”
“If you were going to be like this, you should’ve accepted my meal offers.”
Then she could have eaten a lot of delicious food like today.

Then Jae Heon chuckled as if he had suddenly realized something.
“Ah, you said you wanted to eat comfortably.”
He said casually after thinking for a moment.
“Then we need to become comfortable with each other.”
Ra Jin’s heart fluttered once again.

Did Jae Heon know? His casual words shook her world so much.
“I feel most comfortable when I’m with my secretary. I hope you’ll feel the same way.”
She was on the verge of expressing her joy without realizing it.

So Ra Jin said something quite contrary to her feelings.
“No one would feel comfortable with their boss.”
Jae Heon responded with a nonchalant look, as if he was familiar with her reaction.
“I’m not only your boss, but also your senior.”
As he said, the two were alumni from the same university, the same club.

However, as if they had met as boss and subordinate from the beginning, there was never a time when their college days became a topic of conversation.
“Think of me as a senior, not a boss, when we eat.”
She had never been comfortable even when she thought of him as a senior during her school days.

But Ra Jin eagerly seized this opportunity, which she didn’t know when it would come again.
“Can I really do that?”
Seeing Ra Jin hesitate and ask, Jae Heon readily nodded his head.
“Of course.”
Gathering courage, she opened her mouth.
“Then, since you bought the meal, I’ll buy the drinks.”

((()))((()))((()))

The two people finished their meal and headed to a bar. It was a highend bar Jae Heon often frequented.

Descending the stairs towards the basement, a glamorous and luxurious space appeared. It was a place that perfectly suited his image.
“This is where I often come.”
“I’ll remember that.”
“That would be better. The person who said they would buy drinks doesn’t know a single bar.”
Ra Jin, who usually doesn’t drink, impulsively said she would buy drinks, but she didn’t know any bars where she could go with Jae Heon.

Therefore, Jae Heon took her to another one of his hideouts.
“It’s a first. Both eating together and drinking together.”

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?”
