That guy, who used to be solely interested in studying and working, not even noticing women?! Behind the dual image he showed her, there was also such a side.
One of the reasons Seo Ah liked Ha Joon was not only his outstanding looks and ability but also because the Taesung Group, for generations, had no issues with women, she assumed Ha Joon would be the same, hence her shock was even greater.
The Taesung Group, which firmly maintains the top spot in the business world, didn’t have the typical issues of large corporations, such as power abuse, tax evasion, divorce, or scandal issues.
On the contrary, it was a family full of good deeds, and despite being a family formed purely out of strategic marriage, it was a house filled with love.
Even more, Ha Joon, unlike other typical rich kids who avoid military service, voluntarily enlisted as soon as he turned twenty.
That upright and honest man, she thought there would be a reason why he was cold towards her, and she was making efforts to be a woman who suits him!
“That’s… really, him?”
“As it turns out, the chairman and vicechairman of the Taesung Group also have complicated relationships with women. They seem to have hushed it up with money. ‘Like father, like son,’ they seem to manage it thoroughly. They say it’s easy to spend a night with a woman they met for the first time…….”
“…….”
“The young master is trying to take advantage of a naive lady. It’s not too late now. A person who is not obvious is scarier than one who is obvious.”
Seo Ah wanted to repay him as much as she had received. She wanted to restrain him, make him anxious.
If he caused a woman issue even after marriage, she planned to divorce, revealing his true nature to the world and receiving a hefty alimony.
To do that, she had to be a pure victim. That’s why she kept distance from men, and she was trying to show perfect behavior as a wife.
As a man who thoroughly manages his image, it was obvious that he would restrain himself for a while after marriage. When the interest of the reporters slackened, he would return to his previous life, wouldn’t he? She was thinking of collecting evidence up close then.
Who could have imagined that he would live such a life, pretending to be noble and smart in front, but doing the opposite behind?
Exposing his true nature was the purpose of this marriage.
((()))
On the way home after meeting Yeongju, Seo Ah detailed what happened last night.
“You can’t be considered a perfect wife if you avoid the marital bed. It could be a reason for divorce.”
Seo Ah’s eyes widened in surprise. She thought Ha Joon would naturally not want to share a bed with her. He had a clear preference and dislike. Because he disliked her.
“I thought he wouldn’t touch a woman he doesn’t like, my mistake. I apologize.”
Let me know when you’re ready. I have no intention to cooperate until then.
Seo Ah recalled what Ha Joon said last night.
“It seems like it doesn’t matter if he dislikes it. I guess any woman who obeys him is good.”
“Sigh…… Now that you’re married, getting caught could be a bigger hit than when you’re single. He might want to relieve his desires with you, or due to his strong conquering desire, he wants to conquer you. It seems like one of the two……”
Yeongju fell into deep thought while waiting for a traffic signal. From her perspective, considering that Ha Joon hurried his marriage, the latter seemed more probable. The important thing was, one way or another, Ha Joon wanted to share a bed with Seo Ah now.
“There seem to be two ways. Keep refusing until he wants to find another woman, or let him… conquer you so he loses interest.”
Seo Ah only thought about the former. She didn’t know that refusing could be a reason for divorce, she just thought she had to enjoy watching him restless,
“First, I’ll try to find out as much as I can about the department head’s schedule. Today he will probably be late, and he will leave early tomorrow morning.”
“He said he’d be home early today? And he’ll be going to work normally tomorrow morning?”
He definitely said he’d be home early while they were eating breakfast together. Since it was an open space and the helper could hear, she thought he couldn’t lie.
“I thought that would be the case when I checked about an hour ago.”
“Hah… It seems like you really don’t intend to cooperate.”
((()))
Ha Joon arrived very late. He didn’t come until it was 9 PM.
“You’re late. You said you’d come early.”
“And Auntie?”
The other helpers usually left work by 8 PM, but Yeon Suk always waited for Ha Joon’s late return, then left after seeing his face, hence the question.
“I told her to leave.”
Ha Joon brushed past her as usual and headed to the second floor with his indifferent demeanor.
Seo Ah found herself holding her breath again without realizing. His scent that she caught as he briefly brushed past her,
‘Whew… How long is this going to last? I need to get used to this!’
Soon, Seo Ah followed him into the dressing room and naturally took his jacket.
She decided to continue to take care of him, as it was a common occurrence between a couple, for perfect inlaws.
To keep from shrinking in front of him, she had bought and wore slippers with heels. She was satisfied inside, thinking the height would be just right when tying his necktie tomorrow morning.
His watch, tie pin, and tie began to pile up in Seo Ah’s hand one by one.
“Do you always wear those slippers?”
Why bother indoors? Ha Joon asked with a puzzled expression.
At his words, Seo Ah’s gaze shifted to her slippers. She thought it wouldn’t be noticeable, or rather, he wouldn’t care, but when did he look all the way down to her toes?
At that moment, Ha Joon added cufflinks to her hand, but they dropped to the floor while Seo Ah was off guard.
“Huh?”
Startled, Seo Ah quickly bent down to catch them before they rolled away,
“Oh my.”
Her leg strength was again the problem. Because of the heeled slippers, she failed to maintain her balance, bumped her forehead into his waist, fell backward, and sat down abruptly.
Ha Joon bent one knee and sat down, looking into her eyes.
“Are you trying to seduce me now?”
Seo Ah’s face flushed, and her pupils shook violently.
“What… What are you talking about…”
“Do you know what you just bumped into?”
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…?
