Da Hyun, who somehow felt a sense of kinship, looked at Min Hyuk with a pitiful gaze.
Then, he furrowed his brows, as if he didn’t like her gaze. Min Hyuk glanced to the left.
Then, still holding the card in his hand, he skillfully wrapped his arm around Da Hyun’s waist.
“I didn’t mind if my wife pitied me. But, it seems like it’s time for you to show your acting skills.”
“What? What do you mean…..”
Recalling what he had said about becoming natural with physical contact, Da Hyun quietly noted in her mind that Min Hyuk was quite adept at handling women.
That’s when it happened.
“Han Da Hyun?”
Her head turned automatically, with no chance to shrug off the annoying sharp voice coming from behind.
Even without checking, she knew who it was, but Da Hyun deliberately widened her eyes in surprise and curved her lips.
“Ji Yeon.”
How did he know that Ji Yeon was approaching?
She wanted to shake off the discomfort she felt from her waist, but instead of brushing off his touch, due to the unexpected encounter with Ji Yeon, she slightly tilted her head and leaned against Min Hyuk’s arm, then startled and pulled away slightly.
Min Hyuk quietly chuckled, seemingly undisturbed by her approaching touch.
Ji Yeon swept her gaze over Da Hyun, whom she disliked, and turned her eyes to Min Hyuk.
“Oh my! I thought it might be you. It really is my brotherinlaw. I knew it was you even though I only saw your back from afar.”
Ji Yeon was treating Da Hyun as if she were invisible, swaying her invisible tail towards Min Hyuk as if she were a cat playfully wagging its tail.
Da Hyun remembered Ji Yeon’s inappropriate behavior, claiming that he was her man until she got married. Recalling the time she wailed and made a fuss, Da Hyun unexpectedly burst into laughter.
Looking disdainfully at Da Hyun, who was laughing alone, Ji Yeon sneered, as if to say she got what she deserved.
“I heard you’re too busy to even go on a honeymoon after the wedding. Was it just that you didn’t want to go with your sister?”
Ji Yeon’s mouth twisted. She had no desire to have a married man in her grasp anyway.
Even now, thinking about it made her feel like she was going crazy with jealousy for losing the handsome man in front of her, but she had to give up because of her karma. But giving up didn’t mean she was supportive whenever she saw the two together.
“Well, your sister is very quiet and not fun at all.”
She should have chosen me.
Min Hyuk, faced with her resentful gaze, casually ignored her and wore a hypocritical smile.
“We are planning our honeymoon slowly because we want to. And she’s not silent. She’s very interesting. Didn’t you know your sister talks a lot?”
Min Hyuk ignored Ji Yeon from the beginning.
He brushed off Ji Yeon’s sneering, thinking about the previous night’s events. He was not one to fall for such petty provocation.
Ji Yeon bit her lower lip. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t understand his choice.
“Why did you choose my sister?”
Ji Yeon had always wanted to ask Min Hyuk. Why, among so many women, was it not her but Da Hyun? However, she never got the opportunity.
Even after seeing them become a couple with her own eyes, Ji Yeon couldn’t understand.
Was there something wrong with his eyes? Even if Ji Yeon tried to think positively about why Min Hyuk chose Da Hyun instead of her, she was annoyed. That’s why she had been relieving stress through shopping recently.
Min Hyuk handled Ji Yeon’s provocations maturely without blinking an eye.
Though the answer seemed absurd to anyone, it was convincing enough to make one agree.
“Because I was attracted as I kept seeing her.”
“……”
“Is it too cliché an answer?”
Ji Yeon closed her mouth as she was at a loss for words. When did we ever keep seeing each other? Even though Da Hyun knew it was an obvious lie, she embarrassingly blushed.
Embarrassing. It was funny.
If it weren’t for Ji Yeon, she would have asked to refrain from such cheesy word choices.
“Is, is that so?”
Min Hyuk’s sly answer left her speechless. Stuttering, Ji Yeon forced a smile on her lips.
She didn’t know what he saw in Da Hyun.
While there were many couples living well because of arranged marriages, there were also many who ended up divorcing soon after. Ji Yeon asserted that Da Hyun would fall into the latter category.
Da Hyun inwardly sneered at Ji Yeon’s forced smile, which seemed like it would reach her cheekbones.
However, the Da Hyun that Ji Yeon knew had to pretend to be a woman who stole her sister’s suitor and felt guilty about it.
Still, it was satisfying. It seemed petty to see Ji Yeon, who was used to being on top, struggling to hide her embarrassment.
“Have you eaten? Could you buy me some food, brotherinlaw?”
In the end, Ji Yeon changed the topic. Da Hyun wanted to say no, but she had to pretend to be a guilty sister and couldn’t open her mouth.
Knowing Da Hyun’s feelings, Min Hyuk flatly rejected Ji Yeon’s meal suggestion with an unpitiful voice.
“I’m sorry, but we’ve decided to have a quiet meal at home, just the two of us. Sisterinlaw, I’ll invite you over next time.”
Ji Yeon’s face flushed with embarrassment at the polite yet firm rejection.
Wearing a gentlemanly mask, Min Hyuk brushed past Ji Yeon, who was trembling in humiliation, and said in a brotherinlawlike tone, “We’ll be going now. Sisterinlaw, enjoy your shopping.”
He did not remove his hand from Da Hyun’s waist and acted like a very affectionate couple.
As soon as they entered the elevator, Min Hyuk took his hand off her waist before she could ask him to.
The warmth that had radiated from his side moments ago quickly cooled down. Min Hyuk checked his constantly vibrating cell phone in his jacket pocket, tilting his head back.
“I think we’ve done enough shopping, so let’s go home. I need to go to Chairman Kang’s hospital room. Driver Park should be waiting. Go home first.”
Presumably, the caller was Chairman Kang. Da Hyun nodded, looking at him who didn’t answer the call until the end, and extended her hand.
“Understood. Give it to me, I’ll carry the shopping bags.”
“That’s okay. I’ll pass it to Driver Park. I thought you were asking me to hold your hand again.”
Taken aback by Min Hyuk, who made a flirtatious comment without a change in his expression, Da Hyun was at a loss.
Although it had only been two days since she started her married life with him, her spirit was already being sucked dry.
Despite her continued requests for the shopping bags, Min Hyuk refused.
What a strange man.
She muttered to herself and shut her mouth.
Strangely, this sight felt familiar, and Da Hyun found herself lost in thought without realizing it.
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…?
