To You Who Found Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“Did you rest well yesterday?”
Ji Ho, who had been sitting on the sofa reading a script, looked up warmly as Hye Yoon approached. He’d thought she might finally look her actual age now that she’d taken off her school uniform, but she still seemed like a child.
“Yeah… but you didn’t get to rest again, did you?”
Her clear face glowed even more brightly, perhaps because of her soft-toned clothing. For a moment, he nearly lost his composure and reached out to touch her cheek. Seeing the guilt rising plainly in her eyes again, he offered her something cheerful to say.
“At least I took a short, deep nap—fell asleep while reading that cute book?”
Hye Yoon quickly closed her slightly parted lips, surprised and delighted. Though she tried to hide it, her smile still lifted her cheeks prettily.
“You’re rereading it? I’ll give you another book then—not a new release, but still.”
“Yeah. Turns out there are eleven volumes total, including this one.”
“Wow… how did you know that?”
“How do you think? Because I care enough to find out.”
His eyes, barely kept open from exhaustion, smiled faintly. Hye Yoon watched Ji Ho with pity, frustrated that there didn’t seem to be anything she could do for him.
Ji Ho gestured with his eyes for Hye Yoon to sit beside him. She quickly took the seat next to him but didn’t press close. He glanced down at the small gap left between their legs.
Caught by that obvious gaze, she followed his line of sight—only to meet Ji Ho’s eyes again.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
After staring into Ji Ho’s eyes for three full seconds, Hye Yoon quietly closed the gap, glancing around at the staff. She’d clearly read the look he’d given her as an unspoken request.
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.”
