Despite spreading rumors and various articles related to her, and even though she had not been in touch, it was not strange for him to be upset by the lack of contact.
“Please tell him that I will visit soon. I probably won’t be able to make a call today because my throat doesn’t feel well.”
―Yes, I will do that. Also, regarding the passenger list for the flight to Vancouver, Jo Yuri was on it but did not board the plane.
“…”
―According to the person sent locally, besides the caretaker in charge of Jo Yuri’s grandfather’s villa, there is no one else.
Taeseo, with a face that seemed to spit out curses, grasped the approaching headache.
“So, contrary to what Director Kim said, Jo Yuri is in Korea…”
―Director Kim seems unaware. According to the information received from the Canadian side, they were surprised because they had prepared for Jo Yuri’s arrival based on Director Kim’s contact. It seems Jo Yuri disappeared at the airport, based on Director Kim’s statement that they parted ways at the airport.
“Isn’t she back home?”
―We have confirmed that only two resident caretakers are in the house.
Jo Yuri disappeared. The troublemaker who knows not what she might do had to be kept in sight.
“Immediately, the people who often met or contacted Jo Yuri, the frequently visited hotels…”
“Ah, ah! Director. Jo Yuri is currently with Jung Jaehoon.”
“…”
It was fortunate that they had found Jo Yuri’s whereabouts, but Taeseo’s jaw clenched at the news that the two trashy individuals were together. It seemed that the information had just come up from the secretary placed next to Jung Jaehoon.
“She came alone and has been talking with Jung Jaehoon for 20 minutes now. What should we do?”
“Have someone follow them immediately. Make sure they don’t leave the surveillance zone under any circumstances.”
“Yes, understood.”
“And.”
Taeseo’s gaze, which was like she wanted to grab and twist the person in front of her right away, subsided sharply. She already knew that the person who leaked rumors about Jaein and Taeseo before going to Chicago was Jung Jaehoon.
Even though she explained it in a way he could understand and warned him when Jaein went to see him personally, she couldn’t tolerate his reckless probing. It was necessary to make him fully realize how kind it was that she had only pressured him on the business side so far.
Indeed, to clear away garbage, one had to dirty their hands somehow.
With a determined expression, Taeseo, who had barely swallowed the curse while chewing over the decision, crushed the empty water bottle.
“Juan Foods finally fell into the hands of Jung Jaehoon’s aunt.”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“The eldest daughter of that family is known to be a troublemaker.”
“Yes, unlike the delicate and nervous Jung Jaehoon, she is famous for being violent and ruthless. Although she handed over the position of the representative of Juan Entertainment to Jung Jaehoon under the direction of her grandfather, there was a great deal of conflict between them.”
“Fights make life more enjoyable.”
Eventually, a cruel smile appeared on Taeseo’s lips as she gave instructions. It was when she briefly touched the refrigerator, feeling dizzy, after ending the call.
“When did you wake up…”
The voice stained with sleep tickled her spine. Taeseo’s face softened as she gently stroked Jaein’s back with the hand that had unceremoniously dug into the hand that was scratching.
“Your throat is dry. Sleep more.”
“Yeah… There wasn’t anyone next to me…”
Jaein, who was probably playfully rubbing his cheek against her back in his half-awake state, looked incredibly lovely. Taeseo tried to turn around and face her, but Jaein strengthened his arms around her.
“Yeah, don’t look. I know I look a mess.”
“You look beautifully messy.”
“What’s that?”
Jaein’s laughter, which was creaking against Taeseo’s broad back, suddenly stopped. Before Taeseo could grasp the situation, Jaein quickly stepped forward and stood in front of her.
“Why…”
“Taeseo, you seem to have a fever?”
“Yeah…?”
Jaein reached out, touched Taeseo’s forehead, then touched his own forehead. Concern filled Jaein’s eyes as he touched her forehead again, then gently stroked her cheeks and neck.
The heartbreaking expression on Jaein’s face, who had suddenly come forward to check, before Taeseo could understand the situation, saddened her.
“Buldunginde, mollass-eoyo? Ije bomyeonkka mogsoli do swieossjiman. Sesang-e, mog sangtaega geuleonoh-e chagau’n mul masin geoyeyo?”
“…….?”
“Ani wae, salam-i bonin apeun geosdo molayo. Sogsanghage.”
“Um…….?”
“Taeseo ssi, oneul-eun il mosh hae. Haendeupon il-i naehwayo.”
Taeseo quietly looked at Jaein, who was taking her phone from her hand.
Hearing a scolding full of concern like this was not a common occurrence for him. Taeseo, who was led across the living room by the small hand pulling her, felt a bit flustered.
“I should contact Director Jang. First, take some fever reducer, and when the fever goes down, let’s go to the hospital together. It would be good to get a good sleep after visiting the hospital.”
“…What will Jaein do while I’m sleeping?”
“Whether Taeseo is working or not, I have to stick close and keep an eye on her. Don’t even think about leaving the bed today.”
Ah, gladly.
It seemed like her temperature was rising more with the sweet threat of spending the day watching over her, not letting her go outside the bed. Perhaps, thinking about the things that couldn’t be done while hugging quietly last night made her body even hotter.
Taeseo’s mouth, being dragged into the bedroom, curled up slowly. Seeing that she had no intention of lying down to rest and only had thoughts of doing something else, it seemed like she was not in too much pain yet.
“Fool, really.”
Yuri looked at the just-exited Juan Entertainment building, shaking the crumpled coat hem.
“Even though he offered to help.”
Jung Jaehoon, who didn’t actively step forward and was controlling the situation, looked amusing.
Laughing at the sight of Yuri, who was groaning in the corner of the office like a beggar, she strode out. Walking a few steps down the alley leading to the main road, she soon stopped, frowning deeply.
“Oh, seriously! So annoying!”
Yuri’s eyes, looking down at the beloved shoes, glared with resentment. The white camellia flower adorned on the shoes was stained a dark red, soaked in the snow that fell a few days ago.
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…?
