He praised himself for having received the recipe from Ishar in preparation for such a time and confidently decided to go and prepare the food right away.
Has this man lost interest now? Or is it that he no longer even considers having a child at all?
Liz felt a complicated mood.
She thought she only had to accept the child herself, but now she had to scrutinize this man’s intentions. Additionally, how should she explain to the doppelgänger of this man?
“The tteokbokki is fine. Actually, I don’t even want to eat it.”
“You said you wanted to eat it a little while ago, didn’t you?”
“That was just me saying something. Now I want to eat something else. Something more refreshing and cool. Like oranges…”
“Then I’ll tell them to bring oranges.”
Hersis, still holding the child, got up and went to the place where the jump rope was hanging. Because Kane said he wanted to play, Hersis assigned the task of pulling the rope to his son.
Kane pulled the rope with enthusiasm, and Clowin rushed over as if something big had happened.
While Hersis instructed Clowin to bring fruits, Kane shouted, “Orange, orange!” while jumping.
Watching that adorable pair, Liz thought.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have one more child here?
Liz gathered her courage and asked.
“Herr, what do you think if we had one more child?”
To which he replied.
“I don’t think it would be a good idea.”
For Hersis, having one more child was not doubling the joy but rather dividing it in half.
He had thought about giving everything he had to Kane. However, if there were two children, everything that should go to Kane had to be divided in half, including the love between him and Liz.
At first, Hersis also wanted to have more than one child. It wasn’t because he was uneasy with just one, but rather, it seemed like a waste to have only one child inheriting half of Liz’s and his genes.
However, having witnessed Liz’s pregnancy, childbirth, and the entire process of parenting, he now understands. To become an individual who can move limbs as they wish, identify objects, and develop an interest in the surroundings, there is an absolute sacrifice required on the part of the woman.
Liz was more important than a not-yet-existing child. In fact, even more important than the already existing Kane.
“I don’t think it would be a good idea.”
He said without hesitation.
“Why?”
“Because now is just right.”
The days of leisurely walking hand in hand with you are better.
Now, when you don’t struggle with a heavy body, don’t experience the pain of childbirth, and aren’t troubled by parenting, it’s truly good.
“Really, you think so?”
Liz confirmed once again.
Hersis thought she wanted to confirm his love.
He had the confidence to easily pass any test Liz might give him, no matter how many times.
He had the confidence to effortlessly pass any test Liz might give him.
“Well, of course. I don’t need a second one.”
Hersis said with certainty.
Suddenly, Liz let go of the hand she was holding.
“I want to go in and rest for a bit.”
“…….”
She seemed somehow distressed. No, rather than distressed, she seemed hurt. The reason was unclear.
“Just a moment, Liz.”
Hersis grabbed Liz’s wrist.
“Why? Did I say something wrong?”
“There’s nothing like that.”
Her eyes looked somehow transparent, like dew.
“Mom! Don’t cry!”
Kane touched his mom’s hair with a short sound of his tongue.
“Don’t cry. And don’t worry about it; maybe you’re just a bit tired.”
Liz twisted her wrist, escaping from Hersis’s hand.
Her back looked so tormented that Hersis couldn’t dare to follow and catch her.
He couldn’t understand why his heart suddenly wavered.
He reconsidered what he said.
“How would it be if we had a child?”
“I don’t think it would be a good idea.”
Not a good idea… What was wrong with my answer?
Liz knew very well that Hersis cherished Kane as his another self.
She was well aware that, out of excessive love for Kane, he didn’t want another baby.
But saying it’s not a good idea…
Isn’t that too much?
If that’s the case, I shouldn’t have made it in the first place.
Liz recalled that hot and passionate night when it seemed like a child might be conceived.
On that day, did he have a hint about life being born from the seed burst with sensual gestures as each piece of down floated in the air? No, probably not. If that were the case, he wouldn’t have said such things.
“Not a good idea.”
If he had thought that way, he should have been careful.
Liz found him resentful, and she didn’t even want to look at him.
Suddenly, the baby in her belly felt pitiful.
It wasn’t a life that she was particularly happy about, but thinking that it was rejected even by her dad made her feel sorry, and tears welled up.
“I’m sorry, little one.”
Liz whispered with a determined gaze, stroking her lower belly.
“Regardless of what anyone says, you are precious, our second child. This mom will definitely give birth to you.”
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?”
