Eun Jae frowned and glared at the chair at the table where he always sat.
It must have started precisely from that time.
The day he appeared out of nowhere like a hero and rescued her.
That day, an unknowable light emanated from the man.
“Why aren’t you picking up, honey.”
She had always known that he was extraordinarily handsome, but he started looking even more attractive all of a sudden, and her heart would beat wildly when she saw him.
These days, whenever our eyes met, my heart raced, engulfed by a strange emotion.
A few days ago, his voice tenderly calling me as if we were real lovers was still vivid.
Why make such unnecessary remarks.
After all, such a big hospital would be his, what can’t he do. He’s the one even proposing a contract marriage.
Yes, it’s because of the hospital. That’s why he’s doing this.
“Darling.”
The sweet man’s voice resonated in my head once again.
“Stop it!”
Stop calling me.
My head feels like it’s going to explode right now.
The man’s voice, lingering like an afterimage, filled my mind. Eun Jae blocked her ears and shook her head from side to side, hoping that the man’s voice would fade away by doing so.
After a while, Eun Jae, who had barely regained her composure, took a deep breath and pulled the lunch box on the table right in front of her.
A small note stuck to the lunch box caught her eye.
―Have dinner with me.
Her gaze shifted to the black credit card next to the note. Eun Jae, who checked the note written on the card, slowly read it out loud.
“Keep it, buy what you need.”
Does this man have no sense of caution towards me? Does he know what kind of person I am?
“I’m confused.”
The boundaries of the feelings directed at him are erected and collapsed several times a day.
Does the man know?
That your casual acts of kindness are shaking me to my core.
Eun Jae, who had a hearty meal, was ready to leave.
It was a luxurious lunch box. The multigrain rice came with as many as nine side dishes. I felt like I had eaten a fullcourse meal.
I was long overdue to visit the hospital where my mother was. It had been over a month since I had last seen my mother’s face. I had to settle the overdue hospital bills, and I was curious if there was any progress.
Eun Jae looked down at her wristwatch and calculated the time, thinking she had to return home before the man’s quitting time. If she had spare time, she thought she might also stop by the place where she was considering a parttime job.
How long had it been since she had been out? She felt a thrill at the unfamiliar feeling.
Eun Jae exhaled deeply and slung the bag over her shoulder.
It was when she was slipping her foot into a pair of sneakers.
When she heard the melody sounding before the door opened from beyond the front door, Eun Jae paused her action and looked at the front door. Soon after, her eyes met those of a middleaged woman who had entered the hallway, off guard.
“Oh my, you startled me!”
The gold parcel in her hands dropped to the floor. The terrified woman shouted at Eun Jae with a trembling voice.
“Who, who are you!”
Bewildered, Eun Jae couldn’t say anything and just blinked her eyes.
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.”
