Young-ja blinked in confusion, watching the shaman’s intense performance.
“Not a girl or a boy? What are you saying?”
“Uuuuuu.”
At the shaman’s peak spiritual state, Young-ja leaned forward attentively.
“It’s all twisted. Your son has caused it. He won’t have an easy life.”
Young-ja’s eyebrows twitched as she bowed her head in prayer. Suddenly, she looked up, lips pursed in dissatisfaction.
“I asked you about the gender of my grandchild and a good date, and you’re spouting nonsense!”
“Your son and daughter have ruined everything. They’ll have a difficult life.”
“Now you’re bringing my daughter into this? You fraud! Just trying to swindle money! Huh?”
As Young-ja’s voice rose, her friend tried to calm her.
“Let it be! I came here because they said this place was credible, but it’s all a sham!”
“Uuuuuu, I see!”
The shaman continued her act, but Young-ja stood up, scowling angrily.
“These con artists! I’m leaving! Leave me be!”
“Young-ja, don’t go like this. This is a highly reputed place.”
“Reputed my foot! I’ve been to so many fortune-tellers!”
Every other place had said it was a wrong match, that her daughter-in-law was the issue, but blaming her son was new to her.
Leaving the place, Young-ja angrily threw a decorative eagle statue at the entrance.
Jaemin turned out to be much easier than expected.
He reacted just as anticipated to every word and action she had planned.
Being a lawyer, he clearly has brains, but given how his heart flutters around women, he seems to have a weakness for them.
“I’ll think about your proposal until the end of this week, as you wish.”
“Sure, take your time.”
The mistress must be the one anxious, considering the child involved. Jaemin probably hid the affair to ensure minimal property division and a smooth divorce.
Now that their inner psychology is clear, I can plan how to deal with them. Exposing Jaemin is just a matter of time, so I’ll start with the mistress first.
“You should feel the same way.”
Remembering the woman’s face she had seen from a distance, Chaewon steered the car.
Parking in the apartment’s underground lot, she left Heeju’s phone in the car and turned on her own. As the black screen lit up, numerous notifications flooded in.
[7 PM, North Diary]Chaewon gasped as she checked the messages.
“Ah! I’m crazy…!”
Realizing she had forgotten about the appointment Yu-Gun had likely made for today, she hurriedly called him.
Tu. Tu.
As the unconnected call continued, her anxiety grew.
Click. His voice came through.
“Yes?”
“Where are you?”
“Behind you.”
Turning around with the phone still to her ear, Chaewon saw a black car just pulling in. Yu-Gun parked and stepped out. She quickly approached him.
“I’m sorry.”
“You know how to apologize?”
Surprised by his unexpected words, Yu-Gun chuckled lightly.
“I got caught up with Jaemin suddenly wanting to meet. Did you wait long?”
“Probably.”
“Let’s go now. Not just for photos, but let’s have a meal too. It’s on me.”
Yu-Gun had only wasted 30 minutes waiting; the rest was spent at the gym, assuming she was busy. He wouldn’t have spent that time idly if he hadn’t planned to meet Chaewon, so it was a definite loss.
“But a meal seems a bit light for three hours’ compensation.”
“I can buy you a drink too.”
Yu-Gun tilted his head, eyeing Chaewon.
“Is there something you want? As compensation.”
No interest in just a meal or drink.
His gaze lingered on her red lips, glistening as if she had licked them. They appeared unusually moist today.
“I am curious about something.”
“What is it?”
His gaze left her lips.
“Let’s keep it. No drinks today.”
Turning as if satisfied, Chaewon quickly stopped him.
“I can’t see you tomorrow. I have to visit my sister in the hospital and can’t miss that appointment. So, we need to take two days’ worth of photos today.”
Facing him again, Yu-Gun said, “It’s a bit late for two days’ worth of photos, Chaewon.”
Checking her phone for the time, Chaewon looked flustered, then spoke up.
“Then, let’s not go far. Let’s take them at my place.”
“At your place?”
“Yes. We can watch a movie, have a meal. It’s a space where a couple could be. Let’s take photos at my place. Ours.”
Holding onto his arm, Chaewon continued.
“Bring an extra set of clothes, and come to my place.”
Though unexpected, Yu-Gun nodded after a brief moment.
“Alright.”
It was an appealing suggestion for a change.
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…?
