On second thought, it was strange. Asking about the date was all he did, and the answer that came back was as simple as he had worried about.
As Sun Woo and Eun Jae sat side by side on the sofa, Seok Hee, who had folded the newspaper and put it aside, silently stared at Sun Woo and Eun Jae over his glasses for a while before he opened his mouth.
“You said you would do it in June.”
To the relatively simple question, Sun Woo, catching his tense breath, answered.
“Yes, we’re thinking of midJune.”
Seok Hee took a moment to consider Sun Woo’s response, then took a sip of the tea in front of him and spoke.
“Have the wedding and stay at the main house.”
“Eh?”
Sun Woo’s surprised voice grew louder. Eun Jae, who had been sitting next to him, also looked perplexed.
“Why, is it difficult?”
“It takes three hours to travel to and from the hospital.”
“What a trivial reason.”
“We have no place to stay there.”
The main house was a singlestory building. It was a house built to suit Seok Hee, who lived alone, so aside from Seok Hee’s bedroom, study, and the rooms where livein helpers stayed, there were no other rooms.
“The third floor room in the annex where you lived during your university years, it’s still pretty usable.”
He was referring to the third floor of the house where Sun Woo’s parents lived, which was connected to the rear of the main house.
It was where Sun Woo had spent his childhood.
“Just one month, no more, no less. Is that too difficult?”
“Grandfather, we’re newlyweds―”
Sun Woo tried to come up with any excuse he could think of, but Seok Hee just stared at him with a frown, so Sun Woo couldn’t finish his sentence.
Seok Hee’s sharp gaze softened and shifted to Eun Jae.
“Your name is Ji Eun Jae, right?”
“Yes, grandfather.”
“What do you think, Eun Jae?”
“Me? Ah……”
As she looked at Seok Hee, Eun Jae’s lips hesitated for a moment before they started to move slowly.
“I am……”
After finishing the meal and returning to the annex, Yoon Kang looked at Eun Jung with a solemn expression and asked.
“You’re not yourself today.”
“What’s like me?”
“You didn’t like Sun Woo getting married.”
“It’s not that I disliked it, I just felt sad. The baby who couldn’t even eat without me has grown up so quickly and says he’s going to get married.”
As Eun Jung’s eyes became teary, Yoon Kang turned his head away as if he hadn’t seen it.
“Don’t you ever think about getting old?”
“Why does the conversation always drift there?”
Yoon Kang made a joke, trying to match Eun Jung’s mood. Even though they had lived together for decades, he still didn’t know what to do when he saw Eun Jung’s tears.
Seeing Eun Jung smile knowingly, Yoon Kang thought it was fortunate.
“Honey, did you see Sun Woo today? Maybe this is why they say there’s no use in raising kids. Has he ever smiled at me like that?”
He said it was stomachache inducing to see the guy, who was usually as emotionless as a robot, smiling sheepishly in front of a girl.
“Do you know what? You’re repeating the same thing my mother said 30 years ago.”
“I don’t know……. I’m reminded of Sun Woo’s childhood. It makes me want to cry.”
Seeing her grumbling with tearful eyes, Yoon Kang laughed and gently placed his hand on Eun Jung’s shoulder.
“You have me, don’t you?”
Eun Jung, who had stopped in her tracks, looked up at Yoon Kang. Her eyes were still welled up with tears.
“I’ve never seen Sun Woo smile like that. I thought our Sun Woo had lost his laughter forever. I thought he’d never laugh again.”
“…….”
“That’s enough. He’s happy, he’s happy.”
Yoon Kang brushed away the tears that were clinging to Eun Jung’s eyes with his thumb, and his lips gently landed on Eun Jung’s.
“Yes, that’s enough.”

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.”
