Approaching, Seonwoo whispered in Eunjae’s ear. The small sound of his breath before continuing his words stiffened Eunjae’s whole body.
“Grandfather’s will wasn’t altered.”
“What?”
Taking advantage of Eunjae’s surprised inquiry, Seonwoo effortlessly took the contract he had been hiding behind him.
“Not yet.”
“Surely, on that day…”
“Yeah. I strangely wanted to postpone it. Did you know I would turn out like this?”
Then, just like what I did a while ago, Seonwoo pushed the contract in front of Eunjae and said with a smile.
“Since you had this contract, the same goes for this contract. It means it’s still valid.”
“…….”
“If you leave like this, it’ll constitute a contract breach due to your fault. You’ll either compensate for the damage or extend the contract until you inherit the hospital. One of the two. Right?”
Without taking his eyes off Eunjae, Seonwoo reached into the bottom drawer with a sneer. The gown hanging on his shoulders slid down to the floor.
“As much as the harm you caused, either you compensate, or the contract extends until you inherit the hospital. One of the two. Isn’t that right?”
Seonwoo did not avert his gaze from Eunjae while pulling out a document from the drawer. His voice and expression as he slowly opened the envelope felt too unfamiliar.
“So, when I told you to tear it up, you should have thrown it away.”
“Are you happy now, Seonwoo? I feel like I’m in hell. What’s the use of being together like this?”
“I would have told you. I can’t let you go. There were many ways to keep you here without resorting to this kind of insane contract. I didn’t want to become such a crazy person.”
As Eunjae handed the white paper extracted from the envelope to Eunjae, Eunjae’s eyes widened.
“What is this?”
“Three shops on the first floor of the office building. The monthly rent is only about 20 million won. It’s called Yeonrim Hospital’s parting gift. Shouldn’t you take care of this much?”
Tears filled Eunjae’s eyes as he read the title of the document Seonwoo handed him. It was a commercial property sales contract.
“Why do you have this…”
“Make a choice. Either tear up this contract in front of me and stay here, or take it and leave.”
Taking advantage of my desperation, not being able to take even my belongings with me, he once again grabbed my ankle.
He knew too well that I wouldn’t accept such a burdensome alimony, and that’s why he was sure I would choose to stay here.
As he said, there were other ways to keep me here besides this.
Eunjae’s hand, holding the contract Seonwoo handed over under the pretext of alimony, trembled.
“Seonwoo…”
Seonwoo pointed to clause 4, the contract expiration clause, with his finger, reciting it.
“Party B actively supports Party A to continue economic activities even after the contract expires, and simultaneously, a nullity suit is filed upon the expiration of the contract.”
“…”
“With that money, open a cafe or a studio, whatever you want. Don’t doubt; the nullity suit will be handled by Attorney Shin.”
Seonwoo’s gaze shifted to Eunjae’s necklace. Today, the diamond sparkled exceptionally beautifully. Without realizing that Eunjae’s tears had been added.
“This is what you wanted.”
Seonwoo roughly grabbed the necklace hanging around his neck. He tore off the necklace and threw it onto the commercial property sales contract that Eunjae was holding.
“Make yourself tired and fall out first.”
It was a necklace with a key to unlock Eunjae’s necklace. The moment he saw that necklace, tears fell onto the paper without knowing it.
“Now, the choice is yours. You do as you want.”
Seonwoo turned around, breathing heavily. It was the moment when the ruby earring that had fallen off rolled down to Seonwoo’s toe.
“Is this all… What are you saying?”
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.”
