“Okay, Eunho. Go to your sister.”
The young man who appeared was tall and well-built, strangely wearing a bright expression. However, despite that, he didn’t look like he was in his twenties. If you didn’t know, you might have thought he was in his mid-twenties.
Even after scrutinizing his face for a long time, there was no trace of young Eunho. If we had to find something, maybe his cheeks were a bit chubby. However, Eunho had the typical chubby cheeks of a child, and the young man in front of her had an overall good physique.
Perhaps because of this or maybe due to what Kwon Seungju said in the car earlier, Eunseo did not shed a single tear when faced with the younger brother she had missed so much.
“What’s your name…?”
When she cautiously asked, the young man shyly replied,
“Yohan.”
“You said it was Eunho!”
As if scolding, the director quickly smiled at Eunseo.
“Oh, no matter how many times I tell him, he seems more familiar with the name he used to be called in the previous facility.”
Eunseo felt a chill in one corner of her heart. Why did they call the child by a different name when his legal name was perfectly fine?
“It’s okay. Yohan, do you recognize who your sister is?”
The young man nodded shyly.
“Sister Eunseo.”
It was a strange title. Eunho had never called her sister. Since there was only one real sister, he always just called her sister.
The last time Eunho saw her was when she was twelve years old, in elementary school. Now, he was twenty-seven years old, so it was strange that he immediately recognized her as his sister.
The two sat side by side on a bench.
“Eat this. Nuna bought it for Yohan to eat.”
Somehow, she couldn’t call him Eunho. She took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to Yohan, who ate it deliciously, smearing chocolate all over his mouth.
Pretending to search through her handbag, Eunseo asked,
“Director, I’m sorry, but could you please bring some tissues or wet wipes? I want to wipe him a bit.”
“Sure.”
After confirming that the director had entered the building, Eunseo said,
“If you eat so quickly, your stomach will hurt. Shall we wait a moment?”
She took a deep breath and reached out to Yohan’s clothes.
Eunho’s physical characteristics that Mom had hidden until the end. It was the surgical scar.
Eunho had surgery for appendicitis when he was five years old. At that time, there weren’t many laparoscopic surgeries, so there was still a 5-centimeter surgical scar on the lower right abdomen. Perhaps because of the keloid-prone skin, the scar was quite thick and dark, so Mom had been sorry because the doctor said it wouldn’t disappear unless he underwent separate plastic surgery when he became an adult.
Lifting the hem of his clothes revealed a conspicuous surgical scar. As described by the facility, it was a large scar, starting from the chest and running down, suggesting that he had a major surgery.
However, the lower right abdomen was just white and smooth.
…This person is not Eunho.
Eunseo closed her eyes. Despite already having a suspicion, the whole world turned pitch black. It felt like falling into an endless abyss.
“Eunseo Nuna, I’m cold.”
Eunseo suppressed her tears and quickly lowered her coat.
“Sorry. I just checked because I was worried Yohan might get cold. Did it feel cold?”
“It’s okay.”
The young man smiled brightly. It seems the fact that he’s only six years old is true. He was just lying about being my younger brother.
“Eunseo Nuna, can I have more chocolate?”
There’s nothing wrong with this person. He was just used. Eunseo took out another piece of chocolate and handed it over.
“Sure. This is all Yohan’s. You can eat it all.”
I wonder what this person thought when he heard my story. He probably just liked the idea of his sister coming. Without even knowing who that is.
“Sorry, Yohan.”
“Sorry?”
Yohan tilted his head.
“It’s nothing.”
Eunseo smiled, trying to suppress the overwhelming emotions.
To avoid crying, to avoid getting angry.
To avoid showing any signs of despair.
To avoid showing that she noticed he’s not her real brother.
After a while, the director returned with wet wipes. It required superhuman patience not to grab Yohan by the collar.
“Thank you.”
Taking the wet wipes and thoroughly wiping Yohan’s mouth, Eunseo stood up.
“As I mentioned earlier, I can’t take my brother right away.”
“Oh, yes. I heard you’re looking for a room.”
“Yes. Please take good care of him until I come back.”
“Are you leaving already?”
The director looked surprised.
“It’s the end of the year, and there’s too much work at the company. I took a short break in the morning, so I need to go quickly.”
After replying, Eunseo still looked at Yohan, who was still absorbed in the chocolate.
“See you again, Yohan. Nuna will come to see you again later.”
After patting his head, Eunseo turned around.
After walking for a while and coming out onto a main road, Kwon Seungju had parked his car on the side of the road and was waiting.
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.”
