You Accepted the Contract (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“There’s a rumor that you got married, oppa?”
So Min’s eyes sparkled insistently, as if she wouldn’t leave without an answer.
Si Yoon finally looked up at So Min, feeling she was at least serious this time.
‘Where did she get such accurate information this time?’
Then again, there were always a few ants eager to curry favor with a fourth-generation chaebol by feeding her choice tidbits—so this time, So Min hadn’t stumbled upon a false lead.
‘But only Grandfather, Denny, and my uncle know about my marriage.’
It was all too obvious. Byung Joon must have spread the rumor, but Si Yoon still asked her,
“Where did you hear that?”
“I have my own code of ethics, you know. The right to remain silent to protect my source.”
Code of ethics. Source protection. Right to remain silent.
Hearing words So Min’s brain surely couldn’t have produced on its own, Si Yoon let out an incredulous laugh.
“Huh.”
Seeing Si Yoon’s reaction, So Min secretly sighed in relief. Even though the news of his marriage seemed utterly out of the blue, she’d heard it from Si Yoon’s own uncle—so dismissing it outright as baseless gossip left her uneasy.
That’s why she’d wanted to confirm it with him personally, and now that he was clearly amused, she felt certain it was just a rumor.
“Right? Ugh, no matter how great your family is, how handsome or smart you are—what’s the point if you’re tangled up in absurd scandals and unwanted attention from random people? Even if I were reborn, I’d never want to be born Kim Si Yoon again.”
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.”
