“Who said that? I was just wondering if you remembered.”
“Telling you to do prenatal education looking at your face.”
Seyoung pinched Gyuwon’s cheek with her thumb and forefinger as she laughed.
“So, Gyuwon had patbingsu with him.”
“Kyaaah.”
Not knowing what was good, Gyuwon laughed, clapping his hands. At that moment, Huh Jihun, who had been quietly standing behind them, cleared his throat.
“Nuna, I’m right here behind you.”
Even if he lowered his voice, the conversation between the two was heard by Jihun, who was right behind them.
Embarrassed, Seyoung turned around, and Jihun pretended not to know the previous conversation, meeting eyes with Gyuwon.
“Hello, Gyuwon.”
“Gyuwon, say hello to Uncle Jihun.”
“Sajjoohoo!”
Maybe because he saw Jihun often, Gyuwon wriggled happily in excitement. Woohyun, looking at Gyuwon like that, spoke with a slightly bitter tone.
“This kid. When I see him, he’s so happy, but he doesn’t shout like that.”
“But still, when Gyuwon sees Manager Kang, he smiles. Gyuwon doesn’t discriminate against strangers, but he doesn’t smile at people he’s not close to.”
“Really?”
Woohyun grabbed Gyuwon’s chubby arm and shook it lightly. Even though Gyuwon couldn’t understand words, he smiled at Woohyun as if to say, ‘Yeah.’
“The outfit Gyuwon is wearing now was given by Manager Kang.”
“Woong?”
“Uncle, thank you. Did you say that?”
“…Really?”
Following Seyoung’s words, Gyuwon mumbled his small lips. Woohyun burst into laughter at Gyuwon’s awkward speech.
“This kid, when will he grow up to call me uncle? Ah, since Seyoung is here, are you going to leave work now, Taejo?”
“No. There’s still some work to handle. What about you? Do you want to go home with Gyuwon first?”
“Will it take a long time?”
“About one or two hours?”
Taejo looked at his wristwatch to check the time. Seyoung, carrying Gyuwon, spoke.
“Then let’s go together if it won’t be a bother. Or, if not, I’ll stay here and play with Gyuwon.”
“That won’t happen. Stay together. Gyuwon, come here.”
Holding Gyuwon in one hand, Taejo looked at the employees gathered around.
“Good job, everyone.”
Taejo greeted the employees and, holding Seyoung’s waist, walked away.
Pat, pat.
Entering Taejo’s office, Seyoung gently patted Gyuwon’s back as he slept.
While Taejo was working, she had been wandering around the company office like her own home, but now she seemed a bit tired.
“Is Gyuwon still asleep?”
Seyoung nodded her head as if to say Gyuwon might wake up. Taejo turned off his laptop and approached the two. Gyuwon’s small mouth was making noises without a break, as if he was enjoying something delicious in his dream.
“If we don’t leave now, will he wake up immediately?”
“He’ll whine a bit. By the way, you know that Eryeong unnie’s birthday is coming up, right?”
“Yeah. I heard that my brother is planning to spend time separately with his sister-in-law on that day.”
“We should prepare a gift too. We’re planning to meet Eryeong unnie soon.”
“Do you have something in mind?”
“I have one, but…”
After rolling her eyes for a moment, Seyoung asked Taejo.
“Sir, did you only reserve a restaurant for that day?”
“Probably. Why? What kind of gift are you thinking of?”
“Just a small wishful gift…”
In response to Taejo’s question, Seyoung looked down at Gyuwon and then smiled brightly at her husband.
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?”
