It seemed that the news of his discharge was not pleasant.
He thought he should explain more that there was no particular problem with his condition for her sake, but he left it.
Since she had spent the last two days in his body, she would know better that there was nothing wrong with his body, excluding the headache he felt on the day of admission.
He was really in a condition where there was no problem with being discharged.
But Inho was reluctant to step out of the ward.
“Get ready to go to the hospital right now.”
“…….”
“Don’t even think about coming home until our Inho is discharged!”
“…….”
“Do it right. I’m going to keep watching. Got it?”
A few days ago, the words that Youngsun had poured out came to mind.
With that alone, Inho felt dizzy.
Thinking about how he would ignore and despise Sooyeon in a place where he wasn’t, he couldn’t leave Sooyeon alone.
‘Then what should I do? Should I take her to the set.’
While he was immersed in his thoughts, Sooyeon’s phone, which had been quiet as if it was turned off, started to ring loudly.
Inho reacted quickly and found the source of the noise.
His gaze stopped on Sooyeon’s hand.
Inho stared at Sooyeon with his eyes slightly open.
A very thin wrinkle went over Sooyeon’s forehead as she looked at the screen and disappeared.
Not only that, her shoulder, which had been slightly shaking, became tense with tension, and her stiff lips seemed to be forcibly holding back the incoming sigh.
The observation was enough with that.
Inho stepped towards Sooyeon without hesitation.
And without any hesitation, he snatched Sooyeon’s phone.
“Hey, Inho, why are you doing this! Give it back, my phone!”
Sooyeon jumped up from her seat with a surprised face.
But Inho stubbornly only looked at the screen.
As expected, it was Youngsun.
He answered the phone without a moment’s hesitation.
“Yes. It’s me, mother.”
Oh, mother. Is it Inho?
She didn’t seem to have imagined that he would answer the phone, and a rather confused voice came over the phone.
She had a reason to be confused.
There had never been such a case before.
Especially, if she had a sense of alarm that what she had done a few days ago was wrong, it was natural for her to watch him even if her foot was numb.
He was still furious thinking about that day, but he suppressed it.
Instead, he spoke in a more calm voice than usual.
“What’s the matter in the morning?”
The other end of the phone was quiet.
He could imagine his mother’s face, who must be quite flustered by now, busily searching for a plausible excuse.
It would be uncomfortable. The fact that he answered Sooyeon’s phone. The words he gave with caution.
So, she couldn’t return the answer right away.
But Inho waited leisurely.
He had to make sure that his mother wouldn’t think of Sooyeon lightly in this way.
He might be able to protect Sooyeon’s safety today, but he couldn’t continue like this in the future.
He couldn’t keep watching Sooyeon all day every day.
Would Sooyeon, who hadn’t even pursed her lips against her mother’s harsh treatment until now, confess to him in the future?
No, she wouldn’t.
So, from now on, he had to play his role clearly.
Inho hoped that what he had experienced in the last two days would never happen again.
For whatever reason, contempt or insult toward Su Yeon was not acceptable.
Violence was out of the question.
If it required putting pressure on his own mother, so be it.
Perhaps before marriage it could have been different, but the moment he married Su Yeon, it was only right to live not as the youngest son of TK Group, but as Choi Su Yeon’s husband.
With that thought, he patiently waited for Yeong Seon’s response, when he noticed Su Yeon, standing next to him, anxiously shuffling her feet.
In Ho tilted his head slightly, his eyebrows furrowing in faint annoyance.
Upon that, Su Yeon, who had been anxiously shifting her weight, grabbed his sleeve and shook it discontentedly.
At the end of it all, Su Yeon pursed her lips in silence.
“Don’t do that. Why are you being like this all of a sudden?”
She narrowed her eyes and focused intently, and that’s all she had to say.
Did he want to belittle Yeong Seon after going through a countless number of hardships that he couldn’t even remember when they started?
In Ho found such a Su Yeon frustrating, but he also understood her, and that made him feel more apologetic.
The woman he chose was this kindhearted.
Knowing that, he had not taken care of her even a bit till now.
In Ho clenched his lips tightly.
He couldn’t bear how pathetic he was to himself.
The more he felt that way, the more resolute his heart became.
“Ah, no. I’m curious if your condition has improved, and I called to ask if Se Ah finds hospital life difficult. But what is Se Ah doing, and In Ho, are you answering Se Ah’s calls?”
As expected, an excuse not much different from a deception came over the phone.
“Called to ask if hospital life is difficult?”
If her words of concern were truly sincere, she should not have called at such an early hour at least.
Words of blame rose to the tip of In Ho’s throat.
He wanted to lash out at his mother over the phone, but he couldn’t.
In Ho’s eyes, shaken and confused, looked down.
He saw the delicate fingers desperately clinging to his sleeve.
The faintly vibrating fingertips transferred their trembling along his sleeve.
He slowly lifted his head.
Then, he saw the face of his wife, wearing an expression of extreme embarrassment.
So, he bit down hard on his lips, unable to utter the words that had risen to the brim of his mouth.
The silence continued for quite a while.
In the meantime, unable to stand the void, his mother’s voice once again hit his ear.
“… Hey, In Ho?”
The voice, careful in contrast to when dealing with Su Yeon, made anger well up again in In Ho, but he endured it stubbornly.
However, he couldn’t simply let it go as if nothing had happened.
After a moment of contemplation, he wetted his lips.
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?”
