“Do you know how dangerous that is? If you make a mistake, you’ll die too.”
“I don’t think I’m in danger right now.”
“No, you can’t. If that explodes, Mom explodes too. Besides, we have something else prepared separately, so just wait…”
Speaking with a firm voice, a vibrating sound came from Myung Ok’s jacket pocket. She paused for a moment and took out her phone.
The caller displayed on the screen was someone Subin knew well, “Director Choi.” Confirming the three letters, Myung Ok quickly pushed Subin forward.
“Anyway, understand that, and work hard at your job. Visit Grandfather often.”
“…”
Myung Ok’s attitude seemed somewhat desperate.
She made a gesture as if to say ‘go,’ then turned quickly. Myung Ok was heading towards the back of the main building.
Was it a call he shouldn’t hear? In an instant, Subin tilted his head curiously.
He quickly descended the stone steps, deliberately opened and closed the door once. Then he silenced his footsteps and cautiously followed Myung Ok.
Hiding around the corner, he listened carefully as Myung Ok’s lowered voice reached his ears.
“What? You call this a report? You didn’t find anything.”
Director Choi was not just one of Myung Ok’s closest subordinates. In terms of competence, he might be around a B+ level. However, he was the most optimized person for dirty work.
And he said that there was nothing to find. A faint smile played on Subin’s lips.
“No, really, how incompetent of a person did you send that you can’t even handle such a simple task? If he doesn’t come out of the room, just bug it or something! Do I have to explain everything step by step?”
“…”
Bugging. For an ordinary person, that might be surprising, but Subin just raised one eyebrow.
Myung Ok probably had the conviction that she would do even worse things.
“Don’t think about coming back until you have concrete evidence.”
It felt like she would hang up soon. Subin swiftly moved his long legs and hid behind a large pine tree. Just as Myung Ok exited, he stealthily revealed himself from the shadows. There was a chilly smirk on his lips.
“To send someone all the way to the business trip location… Cha Tae Sang must be tired too.”
The time when the sky had completely darkened. Da Jeong lay sprawled on the sofa as if confined to the room.
Feeling sorry for keeping her inside, Tae Sang had provided her with all the services available in the hotel.
Swimming in the private pool on the rooftop, cocktails made by a dedicated bartender, and even an aromatherapy massage offered by the spa shop.
After a few hours of touring the hotel, Da Jeong was fully immersed in relaxation.
“Are you tired?”
Due to her slightly dazed state, Da Jeong didn’t even hear him approaching.
“Hmm? Oh, yes. A little.”
“Do you still want to do more?”
“No! No, I don’t.”
Da Jeong replied quickly, waving her hand. She knew that if she did anything more, she might really collapse.
Tae Sang sat down with a faint smile and said, “If you’re tired, go to sleep.”
“Yes…”
Da Jeong glanced towards the bedroom area, studying Tae Sang’s expression.
Once again, the two couldn’t sleep on the sofa. Moreover, they couldn’t afford to take a short nap like earlier. Should she suggest sleeping together, or would he bring it up again?
Her thoughtful eyes rolled around in indecision when Tae Sang finally spoke slowly.
“You go to sleep first.”
“Huh?”
A puzzled look met his unexpected words.
“Why? Aren’t you sleepy?”
“I am. But I’ll go in after a while.”
“Oh…”
Da Jeong quickly understood his meaning.
Tae Sang had waited outside until she fell asleep, intending to enter the room afterward. It was a simple gesture of consideration, free of burden or tension. In his stoic words, she sensed a small kindness.
“Alright then…”
That seemed better. She lightly nodded her head, about to suggest it, but for a moment, his proposal felt somewhat meaningless.
They had already slept together on the sofa twice before. Yet, rejecting the bed and opting for it made it seem like they were acknowledging the space as something special.
Unless they were real lovers. For them, a bed wasn’t a special place.
As this thought crossed her mind, the remaining tension eased away lightly. Da Jeong nonchalantly spoke.
“Let’s… go together.”
Tae Sang’s gaze quickly shifted. It seemed like his searching eyes were trying to read the sincerity beyond her pupils.
“I’m used to it now. I’m not nervous anymore.”
“…”
“Really. I’m so tired. Let’s go in quickly.”
Her muscles felt heavy like soaked cotton. Da Jeong put genuine exhaustion into her words.
“What’s changed so much?”
“Nothing has changed… I’m just really tired. I think the Vice Chairman is too.”
Tae Sang was both pleased and puzzled by Da Jeong’s change.
Although it seemed like she was hiding something in her words, he didn’t force himself to dig deeper into her thoughts.
Tae Sang got up from his seat and headed towards the bedroom. When he turned the handle, a spacious bed, large enough for several people to lie down comfortably, was revealed.
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…?
