“Do you still not understand this world? There were many people who openly snubbed me, a woman of no significance who came into this overflowing household and took the position of the next mistress of the Jinseong Group.”
“Who dare say such a thing!”
Do Ha exclaimed with a fierce face.
Hyun Seo quietly swallowed a sigh. She could never forget that moment.
‘How could a woman of such low caliber have entered?’
‘If we had known that even such a girl could easily marry into a family like that, we should have pushed our daughter in too.’
Those were the words of people who talked loudly, as if they wanted her to hear.
Young Suk, her motherinlaw, had ignored her eldest daughterinlaw in front of them knowingly or unknowingly, so others probably took her lightly as well.
“Do Ha… You don’t need to go far. As soon as I say I’m leaving, your mother will start making arrangements for your next match right after the paperwork is done.”
Do Ha let out a hollow laugh, confused by the words Hyun Seo was spitting out.
“That will never happen.”
“No, it’s a very possible scenario.”
“No. I will never divorce you, so that will not happen.”
Hyun Seo paused for a moment and looked at her husband’s face intently.
Why was this man so desperate to hold onto this marriage?
The atmosphere between the couple was certainly not the same as before.
He said it was because of a promise he made with his mother in the past, but was that still so important? His mother was no longer on this earth.
He was a man of strong responsibility, so he understood his desire to keep his promise to the end. He wondered if he was trying to fulfill his responsibility out of guilt because his motherinlaw had passed away.
There was a time when she was attracted to his stubbornness, but all those feelings were useless now.
What was the point of all this when she was feeling so rotten inside?
“Do Ha. Let’s stop this now. I’m really tired.”
In any case, she couldn’t talk about the baby. If he found out about the baby’s existence, he would never let her go.
“It’s harder to stay in this house because I think about Seo Ha more. I want to go out and live a new life.”
Do Ha’s flustered yet stubborn expression changed a bit.
“……”
When it came to the matter of Seo Ha, he too could only empathize.
“I want to return to being Hyun Seo, not Do Ha’s wife, and rebuild my new life.”
Do Ha, speechless, seemed lost in thought for a moment, just looking at her face.
He opened his mouth as if in a daze and then closed it again.
He, who had always been indifferent, seemed to have a lot to say for once. Only, he looked like someone who didn’t know what to say.
At the end of a heavy silence, he opened his mouth again.
“This is too sudden for you.”
“There are more sudden divorces in the world than you think.”
As if blocked by a solid wall, he wore a suffocated expression. At a glance, he seemed angry.
“No. There will be no divorce for us.”
“My decision won’t change, so I hope you can accept it soon.”
“No. I will not accept it.”
“Sigh……”
With a sigh, Hyun Seo rose from his seat. She turned around with a definitive look.
“Hyun Seo!”
Do Ha stared at his wife’s back as she left the room without a glance at him.
He had tossed and turned all night and woke up at dawn.
Already sleep was over and he left the bed thinking to go out to the garden to feed Danchoo.
But as he went down, Young Suk was already out early in the morning.
Surprisingly, she was sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee, her hair hastily tied up, without even getting ready.
Lately, she insisted on drinking only that coffee, saying that the elegant aroma of coffee aged in a rum barrel suited her highend taste.
Her highend taste was bull. In reality, she liked soju the most, and as for coffee, she didn’t really know the taste of coffee, so she just drank the ones from the expensive varieties that somehow suited her palate.
Usually, the only coffee she drank at home was coffee mix. When she went out with some ladies and had to drink coffee, she always criticized the bitter and tasteless coffee, pretending to be elegant, and looked for sweet coffee mix.
After being cheated on, she drank alcohol for a while, but she was banned from drinking at home by the Chairman because she would wreck the household every time she got drunk.
The alternative that Young Suk found when she wanted to drink was rum barrelaged coffee with a strong rum aroma.
But why was she drinking coffee in the living room from this early morning?
Surely, she must have been waiting to come down while her son was asleep since she could not manage her daughterinlaw, who ran out last night and came back with her son.
How upset she must have been to come out from the crack of dawn, without even putting on makeup and with her hair in a mess.
Hyun Seo turned her body back to the second floor as soon as she made eye contact with her motherinlaw. It seemed better to face her awkward husband instead.
“Hey! Where were you yesterday?”
But as soon as she moved, a sharp voice flew in. Hyun Seo had no choice but to turn her head and look at her.
Young Suk, who had sprung up from the sofa, was coming towards her. She looked as if she would either throw her coffee cup or even punch her.
Seeing her icy gaze, Hyun Seo thought it would be best to avoid her now that she wasn’t alone, so she turned her body as if to run away and took a step towards the stairs.
“Where are you going without even listening when an adult is speaking? Is my word not a word to you?”
Young Suk, who quickly followed, finally managed to grab Hyun Seo’s clothes as he was going up to the second floor.
In that moment, Hyun Seo almost tumbled down the stairs. Startled, Hyun Seo managed to regain his balance by leaning on the wall.
Hyun Seo slapped away Young Suk’s hand and looked back at her. Young Suk was staring at him, seemingly flabbergasted, her eyes wide open at him for batting her hand away.
“What, are you hitting your motherinlaw? And you call yourself a daughterinlaw?”
In the midst of all this, Young Suk couldn’t contain her anger and continued to shout at Hyun Seo. Hyun Seo, who had almost fallen, instinctively soothed his stomach in that moment.
“Mother, what are you doing! I could have fallen down the stairs.”
He could have lost the child in his belly if he had fallen and rolled down the stairs. The thought sent shivers down his spine.
Even now, after having told Do Ha that he wanted a divorce, he was soaked in an unbearable emotion, and Young Suk’s venting was crossing the line.
He felt like he wanted to cry, as if he’d been slapped in the face.
“It’s because of you! What on earth were you doing yesterday?”
His motherinlaw, ignorant of his feelings, raised her voice.
However, since he had decided to leave this house, there was no reason to endure it anymore. There weren’t many days left to see this face anyway.
“You wrecked the house and then calmly came back in?”
Against her, Hyun Seo retorted with a relatively calm face.
“It was you who wrecked the house, wasn’t it?”
“What, what?”
“Weren’t you always the one breaking things, mother? Have I ever wrecked anything? I’ve always been the one cleaning up and rectifying things.”
He had been suppressing his own character and living until now, but since he was leaving this house anyway, he decided he would live as he pleased before leaving.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
