Meanwhile, Do Ha finished his work for the day and returned home. The past few days had been a whirlwind of unexpected events that had left him somewhat dazed. However, he felt somewhat relieved that he had managed to successfully complete today’s schedule.
He led his tired body into the house. Do Ha undressed and started to shower. The stream of water flowed down his body between his flexed muscles.
Suddenly, he remembered what had happened at the garden center. He felt a pang of regret that he hadn’t been able to buy the plant he wanted because of the woman he had met there.
Due to his murderous schedule, there was no promise of when he would have such time again.
After his shower, Do Ha grabbed a cold can of beer from the fridge and sat down on the sofa, beginning to browse plant sites on his cell phone.
This time was Do Ha’s favorite and also an important daily routine in his life.
As he enthusiastically browsed the plants, the woman suddenly came to mind again. Do Ha, not liking this about himself, unconsciously shook his head.
“Stop, stop thinking about it.”
He quickly stood up, looked around at the plants in the living room, took out some milk from the fridge, poured a bit into a bowl, and carefully wiped the dust off the plants with a dry towel.
“Grow well.”
Who could have imagined him smiling and even talking to his plants? His secretive hobby was continuing unabated again today.
As he was busy tending to his potted plants, his cell phone began to ring.
Do Ha got up, picked up the phone that was on the table, and checked the caller ID. It was his father. Do Ha cringed slightly, then answered the phone.
“Yes, Father.”
[Not even coming to see your old man’s face since you’ve become independent?]
“Ah… I’ll visit this week.”
[It’s just as well that you should come.]
“Is something the matter?”
[You’re old enough now to start thinking about marriage.]
“I’ve told you, I’m not interested.”
[I’m hanging up.] Before Do Ha could finish, Chairman Cha had hung up the phone.
Do Ha was annoyed at his family’s constant obsession with his marriage. He was genuinely not interested in marriage. He couldn’t feel any need for marriage, nor could he understand why he should get married.
Thinking of how tiring this weekend was going to be made his chest feel heavy. With a heavy heart, he popped open another can of beer.
Every man Ra Hee had kept in her heart so far had loved her. Whenever she got bored with a man, Ra Hee would start looking for another.
Now, there was a man she wanted to settle down with. It was Ji Sung. But there was a fatal flaw in him. He was a married man.
After a few days of deliberation, she decided she had to give him up. She had lost her appetite and life had become joyless.
The feeling of not being able to have what she wanted was too miserable. The more she thought she couldn’t have him, the more she wanted him. She kept thinking about him. She had developed a severe case of lovesickness.
One day when she was out on a field trip, she was walking weakly when she saw Ji Sung from afar. He seemed to be out on a field trip too.
He looked at his wristwatch and then went straight into a Japanese restaurant in front of him.
She checked the time on her cell phone. It was past 3 o’clock and almost 4. It seemed that he hadn’t been able to have lunch because of work.
Her heart was pounding. She felt as if she would regret it for the rest of her life if she missed this moment. Ra Hee pulled out a cushion pact from her handbag and began to touch up her makeup.
For the first time in her life, Ra Hee was fixing her makeup in the street. Only Ji Sung was in her sight right now. She felt she could endure any embarrassment.
She fixed her skin, reapplied her lipstick, tousled her hair, and adjusted her clothes. Then Ra Hee took a deep breath.
She wasn’t hungry because she had already had lunch, but she opened the door of the Japanese restaurant assertively and walked in.
He was sitting at the table, looking at his cell phone. His look of focusing on something with his head down was so cool.
She hoped that he would look at her and put pressure on her highheeled feet. The sound of her high heels sounded cheerful.
Clickclack.
As expected, Ji Sung raised his head at the sound of her high heels and looked in the direction of the sound.
“Oh? Hello?”
When Ji Sung raised his head and looked at her, Ra Hee greeted him in a high tone with a bright smile.
Seeing her, Ji Sung seemed surprised and his eyes grew wide.
‘How cute.’
His slightly surprised expression also seemed adorable.
“Ah… hello. You seem to be back from a field trip.”
He spoke to Ra Hee in a soft and mannerly voice. The more she looked at him, the more attractive he seemed.
“Yes. Did you not have lunch either, team leader?”
“Yes. Would you like to have lunch together then?”
Ji Sung asked Ra Hee cautiously. Ra Hee smiled slightly at him. Seeing her smile, Ji Sung stared intently at her face without even realizing it.
Ra Hee was looking at Ji Sung, and the two were making eye contact for a while. Then, when Ra Hee awkwardly turned her head away, Ji Sung also soon turned his head away.
Shyly, Ra Hee took the seat in front of Ji Sung. Ji Sung looked at Ra Hee and asked.
“I know your face because our departments are different, but I don’t know your name.”
“Ah… My name is Chae Ra Hee.”
“Oh, your name is really beautiful.”
“Thank you.”
“My name is.”
“I know. Team Leader Ahn Ji Sung.”
“What… How?”
“You’re famous, team leader.”
“Yes?”
“They say you have good manners and excellent job skills.”
“Ah… That makes me feel good. What will you have?”
“I would like sushi. I love sushi.”
“I also like it.”
“Really?”
She spoke while meeting Ji Sung’s eyes. He thought the woman sitting in front of him was this beautiful. Her fair skin and smile were beautiful.
She had a peculiar charm, seeming both innocent and sexy. How long had it been since he had a meal alone with a woman other than So Myung?
He even felt a little nervous. But soon he felt guilty towards So Myung. He tried to pull himself together. Soon the sushi arrived.
The two began to eat. Even her eating looked beautiful. Every time she looked at him and smiled, his heart pounded… He tried to control himself.
“The sushi is really delicious. It tastes even better because I’m eating it with the team leader.”
“Yes?”
Ji Sung, surprised by Ra Hee’s sudden remark, looked at her with surprised eyes and said.
“Were you surprised?”
“No… ”
“I know. You’re married, team leader.”
“Ah… Yes?”
“But I was so thrilled because I felt so good when I first saw you, team leader. You don’t know how disappointed I was to hear that you are married.”
Ji Sung was at a loss for words at her sudden statement, and he was momentarily unsure about what to say.
It felt strange to know that such a young and pretty woman like her had feelings for him.
“Ah…”
As Ji Sung couldn’t say anything, Ra Hee said with a smile,
“No… I didn’t mean anything by it. Team Leader, would you just be friends with me?”
“Friends?”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
