“Hello? How are you? Madam. It’s me. Is everything okay? By the way, there was an event at the kindergarten today, and well, that woman dragged Director Cha to the kindergarten. How are you going to resolve this, Madam?”
『Resolve? What do I have to resolve?』
Seeing Seongja’s attitude, which seemed to say, “What happened?”, Sunyoung felt like she had been hit in the back of her head.
“What? No… Why did you say you would take that woman away from my husband last time…”
『Hey, listen. Do I look like someone who has to do that? And what resolution? Our son will handle it on his own.』
“What? No, Madam. Why is your story different? This is awkward. If you accepted it, you should produce results according to what you accepted. It’s noisy, and let’s resolve it right away.”
『Mom? Who does this crazy woman think she is ordering around? And what did I accept? Oh, is she throwing a nasty handbag and making a fuss now?』
“What…! Hey, wait. How much is that bag?”
『Oh my, who brought a heavy and dull bag here and now wants to take it back? Good. Since it’s heavy and the color is dull, and Young didn’t like it anyway. So if you think it’s a waste, come and take it away.』
“Oh my, what is this woman saying now? Look at this!”
『Thunk―』
Sunyoung wore a bewildered expression as she stared at her phone screen in disbelief. The message indicating the end of the call was blinking.
“What’s this? Why is this woman suddenly like this?”
It’s challenging to adapt when a nobody starts acting boldly.
Let’s see. If we summarize, it seems Jung Hyuk’s birth mother slapped her on the back of the head. Odd.
Even if she was acting friendly and polite like the tongue in her mouth the last time they visited the pancake restaurant, her sudden change in attitude was inexplicable.
With a nervous and irritated expression, Secretary Pyo rushed over to the lobby.
“Chairman. The company representative claims to have found the cause of the accident.”
“Found it…?”
Sunyoung swallowed dryly. Surely, Hyuna didn’t do anything directly, so there shouldn’t be any reason for her to be accused as the culprit. Nevertheless, she felt her mouth dry up just in case.
Upon moving straight to the accident site, there was a gathering of police, kindergarten officials, and facility company personnel making a commotion.
“Are you saying it’s not a mistake from the construction company?”
The police asked, and the company representative immediately denied.
“Absolutely not. The equipment we use at our company is a one-touch system with integrated screws and bolts. However, as you can see here, the screw that should be fixed integrally is missing. Just by looking at the scratches on the screw holes, you can tell that force was applied to remove the screw forcibly.”
As the results flowed in the feared direction, Sunyoung quickly intervened.
“Who! It sounds like someone deliberately removed the screws to collapse the tent. It can’t be true…”
“No. Considering what we heard from the company, we cannot exclude that possibility.”
This time, the police agreed with the company representative. The representative continued.
“Anyway, it’s hard to see this as a simple construction mistake. Although it’s a kindergarten, this involves the trust in our products and construction. We think we should request an investigation on our side as well.”
“…”
Sunyoung swallowed her saliva with difficulty. Even if Hyuna didn’t do anything directly, it seemed like she could be accused as the perpetrator. Nevertheless, she felt her mouth dry up just in case.
“You did well. Director Min, you can go in.”
“Director. Are you sure you’re okay?”
Director Min seemed worried about leaving.
“I’m fine.”
“Alright. If you need anything, please contact us immediately.”
“It’s the weekend; there shouldn’t be such matters. See you next week.”
When Jung Hyuk coolly spoke, Director Min’s face showed relief.
“Understood. Take care of yourself, then.”
Director Min bowed and left.
Soli and Sukhee, who had turned pale due to mental exhaustion, were planned to be escorted home by Junho.
Inside the car, after fastening her seatbelt, Dajeong started the engine. Around that time, Jung Hyuk was struggling with something from the passenger seat.
It was fortunate that the broken arm was his left arm, but it seemed precarious to secure the seatbelt due to some awkwardness.
Hesitating about whether to help or not, Junghyuk, who had been watching, sighed discontentedly when his eyes met with Dajeong’s. His face seemed to question why she was just standing there.
“Oh, I’ll help.”
Dajeong cheerfully twisted her upper body to fasten the seatbelt clip. The unfamiliar smell of the hospital’s antiseptic emanated from him as he approached.
After pulling the clip tight and giving a slight smile, Junghyuk also smiled approvingly with his eyes.
Arriving at the residence, Dajeong immediately opened the refrigerator. The large refrigerator was filled only with bottles of water, looking rather desolate.
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?”
