As the emergency exit door closed, Taekyu, leaning against the door, remembered Nalim’s appearance he had seen at the S Group party a while ago.
The gaze that was slowly going down stopped instinctively in the same place, and when the face turned red, Taekyu, whose face had flushed, nervously swept his hair.
“Yoon Taekyu, you crazy bastard.”
Ah, this is crazy.
Why do I keep getting nervous?
????????????
The car without a roof drove on a quiet road.
In places where it had become complicated a while ago, it closed again, and when entering a quiet place, the roof opened again.
Even though it was a car he had been riding in all the time, he didn’t know it was a convertible. He stared at it for a long time because it was fascinating to open and close.
He didn’t ask where they were going.
The wind, gently tickling the hair and brushing against the cheeks, will probably take us to a good place. Because of this inexplicable certainty.
As the speed of the car traveling on the road significantly decreased, Eunjae, who was exchanging various conversations with Sunwoo, suddenly stopped the ongoing conversation and looked ahead.
In front of them, a tree-lined road spread out, creating an illusion of crossing through a sequoia forest. A refreshing feeling, as if the chest were pierced, enveloped the entire body.
The sequoias that spread over the desolate road looked towering.
These trees, neatly trimmed as if touched by human hands, made a sound as their needle-like leaves rustled in the wind.
“Wow…”
Glancing at Sunwoo, who seemed to involuntarily express admiration, Sunwoo’s lips, adorned with sunglasses, could be seen smiling.
“You shouldn’t be admiring already.”
“Are we not at our destination yet?”
“We’re almost there.”
Thinking they had come for a drive, Eunjae’s anticipation grew stronger upon hearing that there was another destination.
Leaning against the lowered car window, Eunjae, with his fist on the door, closed his eyes, letting the blowing wind hit him directly.
As the car reached its destination and came to a stop, Eunjae unbuckled his seatbelt.
Sunwoo, signaling Eunjae to sit for a moment, got out of the car. After a short wait, something was draped over Eunjae’s head.
It was a wide-brimmed straw hat, with a long, flowing floral patterned ribbon, looking quite lovely.
Adjusting the hat, the door of the passenger seat opened. As Eunjae got out of the car, he saw a rattan basket in Sunwoo’s hands.
“Wow, are we going on a picnic?”
As Sunwoo nodded slightly, Eunjae, who had suddenly become lively, wrapped his arms around Sunwoo’s waist.
“Wow, I really wanted to do something like this.”
Sunwoo momentarily flinched at Eunjae’s unexpected physical contact. Feeling the warmth at the tips of his ears, Sunwoo unbuttoned the top button of his shirt.
“It’s hot.”
“Let’s go over there.”
Pointing to a small hillside path, Eunjae took Sunwoo’s hand.
Led by Eunjae’s hand, they began to walk on the quaint hillside path, and gradually, scattered wildflowers appeared along the roadside.
“There really are no people on weekdays, as they say.”
“Did you come here after checking?”
“Yeah. We haven’t had a proper date so far. Our honeymoon trip also fell through because someone insisted on not going.”
At his touch, Eunjae, lost in thought, stopped walking.
Ah, right. Did we not go on our honeymoon?
Anticipating the upcoming marriage preparations, he had stubbornly insisted that they would absolutely not go on a honeymoon in front of Sunwoo, who had confidently declared that they would do everything others did before marriage.
“Why bother going on a trip? We can’t leave the hospital empty for so long anyway.”
In reality, it was all an excuse.
Because I didn’t want to get closer to him, already held in my heart, in fear that in a strange place, caught up in the atmosphere, impulsively hidden feelings might be exposed.
Because I felt sorry for myself who would be left alone later, pitifully.
“Why, regretting?”
“Yes… You ruined my only honeymoon trip with your own hands.”
“Even if not right away, let’s definitely go on a honeymoon trip.”
“Really. Promise.”
Sunwoo readily hooked his finger with Eunjae’s outstretched little finger. Holding hands like that, Eunjae and Sunwoo walked together.
Suddenly, a bee flew, and Eunjae screamed. Occasionally, when a pretty flower appeared, Eunjae took pictures with his phone.
As Sunwoo, who had been strolling like a walk on a road where hardly any people were felt, abruptly stopped.
“Here it is.”
Stopping for a moment and looking back, there were small white flowers blooming abundantly among the low grasses, creating a sight as if snowflakes had fallen.
“Wow… What kind of flower is this?”
“Daisy.”
Eunjae’s open mouth didn’t close easily. Afraid he might step on those small flowers, Eunjae’s steps were cautious.
“It’s become a popular dating spot for couples these days.”
“It’s so beautiful…”
Sunwoo looked pleased like a child while watching Eunjae who seemed to be enjoying himself. While Eunjae was momentarily captivated by the daisy flowers, Sunwoo, who had prepared a mat in a shady place under the lush ferns, set it down.
Putting down the rattan basket and sitting, Sunwoo gazed at Eunjae slowly, like clouds drifting by.
As if taking clear pictures one by one.
After enjoying the view for a while, Eunjae finally noticed Sunwoo, who was lying down as if waiting, perhaps realizing that he had been entranced by the daisy flowers.
“How pretty this place is.”
Slumping down beside Sunwoo, Eunjae, as if he had been waiting, raised his hand on Sunwoo’s shoulder, and Sunwoo lay sprawled out.
“Oops. Why are you like this?”
“It’s fine; there’s no one around.”
“Still.”
“Let’s just stay like this for a bit.”
Lying down with his arm as a pillow, Eunjae faced the sky. Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he looked at the sky like this.
Everything was peaceful. When the clouds cleared, the occasional sunlight pierced through. Eunjae adjusted his posture.
With closed eyes, he brought his fingers over Sunwoo’s forehead, drawing as if to add something. As his ticklish gesture, his lips slowly curved upward.
“What was your dream?”
“Well… A normal life. Building a normal family and living an ordinary life, neither too much nor too little.”
Sunwoo, who had been gazing at the sky, opened his eyelids and turned his gaze towards Eunjae.
“Jieunjae, it seems your dream can’t come true.”
“I can never be ordinary. Where can you find a man like me? Tall, handsome, a doctor. And even wealthy.”
Folding his fingers, Eunjae listed Sunwoo’s strengths, then suddenly lifted his head and looked at Sunwoo.
“But he says he likes someone like me. Does that make sense?”
“Why wouldn’t it make sense? You’re pretty, good at cooking, and even if a woman who does everything, and doesn’t mind touching me when I teach her something. What’s more nonsensical than this?”
“When did I touch you?”
Sunwoo laughed as he carefully brushed aside Eunjae’s disheveled hair.
“Curious about why I turned out like this, aren’t you?”
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?”
