Woo-yeon pointed upwards with her finger. Reporter Yeom, staring at where her finger pointed, burst into laughter.
“What’s up there?”
“That’s the thing. I’m curious too.”
What could be up there that so many people threaten me to bring it down.
What in the world is it?
I wonder what that world is like… I’m curious about how someone can leave their family.
“Let’s go up.”
Woo-yeon recalled Tae-kyung’s voice that came through the phone.
She thought she would firmly grasp his hand this time.
Two days later, Woo-yeon was summoned to Tae-kyung’s office within the wedding tower.
Unlike the last time, a section chief escorted Woo-yeon from the building lobby to this place.
The environment was perfectly secured, from the CEO-exclusive elevator to all the security measures.
Passing through the reception desk without mixing a word with the secretary, she went straight through the direct secretary’s office.
“Have a seat over there.”
As Tae-kyung glanced at Woo-yeon, the section chief immediately closed the door and left the office.
Woo-yeon nodded and took a seat. The secretary, who appeared with a knock, asked what she would like to drink, and she replied that anything warm would be fine.
Tae-kyung added, “I’ll have cold coffee, please.”
“Yes, sir.”
Once the secretary left, Tae-kyung asked her to wait for just 10 more minutes.
While Woo-yeon was responding, the phone continued to ring, and she had the feeling that he was handling various tasks besides approving documents.
She felt a sudden sense of guilt.
Of course, it wasn’t her decision to come during such a busy time; it was Cha Tae-kyung’s will. Still, she wished they could meet at a more relaxed time.
Since there was nothing on the table yet, her hands felt awkward. She pretended to focus on work, looking at him.
From the well-shaped forehead, strong jawline, to the firmly closed lips, everything seemed harmonious.
Despite the arrogance on his face, it made him even more dazzling.
After a while, as he examined the documents, his eyes slightly softened.
Perhaps there was something he didn’t like, as he made a call to request additional information.
During this, their eyes met. Even Woo-yeon couldn’t escape the uneasy atmosphere that seemed to block the flow of air.
“…….,”
She hesitated to turn her gaze away but, since the call had just ended, Woo-yeon chose to focus on her breath.
While still on the call, Tae-kyung looked straight at Woo-yeon and corrected the words he had said a moment ago.
“I’ll reschedule. Please have everything organized and bring it by tomorrow at 6 PM.”
He had acted coldly, as if he would get angry if the documents were not brought immediately a moment ago, but suddenly, his tone softened.
Feeling her throat suddenly burning, Woo-yeon turned her gaze outside the window, belatedly avoiding eye contact.
Thump.
It was a very faint sound, but it was the noise of him putting down the phone. As the chair pushed back, he stood up.
It felt like less than the ten or so minutes Tae-kyung had mentioned had passed, but he seemed to be in a hurry.
“Did you finish your observations?”
“…….,”
“I’ve seen my face quite well.”
Approaching, he sat on the opposite sofa. Gracefully placing his arm on the armrest, he crossed his legs.
As if he had been caught murmuring, her heart fluttered.
During the moment of contemplating what to say, the secretary returned with tea.
Luckily.
With something to hold onto, she took the tea bag, dipping it in and out of the cup several times. Although she usually drank tea lightly, today she let the tea steep a bit longer.
Waiting for the right moment, she took out the tea bag and placed it separately.
Tae-kyung, watching Woo-yeon’s white and slender fingers silently, finally took a sip of his coffee.
“To be honest, I didn’t expect Yoon Woo-yeon to easily accept my suggestion to go to the United States together.”
Woo-yeon gripped the teacup in her hand.
“Well, since there’s something to gain.”
With those words, Tae-kyung lightly chuckled, then stood up and returned with a bundle of documents.
These were documents that could pressure actor Yoon Jin-ho’s agency all at once.
“I didn’t know you would resolve things like this. When I called you innocent and naive, I didn’t expect you to show me like this. Yoon Woo-yeon, you always defy my expectations.”
“I simply returned the favor using the same method they used. Unilateral and impolite.”
“The president of that agency used to be a gangster. Is it okay? He seems like someone who won’t stay quiet.”
At that, Woo-yeon smirked.
As expected. Right after the news report, the president of that agency called.
When she pretended not to hear him say that he wanted to talk to the president and didn’t even acknowledge it, he hurried like someone whose tail had been stepped on.
In response to the agency president’s suggestion to meet immediately and talk, Woo-yeon delivered a retort.
While Woo-yeon quickly scanned the documents Tae-kyung gave her, she smiled coldly.
“So, I need these documents more. I have to send them to the agency president and get an apology.”
He raised sharp eyes.
“Why do you move yourself? If you use me, you won’t have to see such a dirty situation and can resolve it cleanly at once.”
“Are you going to do this for me too?”
“I told you. If Yoon Woo-yeon asks, I can do anything.”
“How far?”
“…….,”
“How far are you willing to go?”
The color of his eyes flashed with an interesting hint.
Her mind was racing.
What should she say in response to him directly asking how far she wanted him to go? After contemplating, Woo-yeon pursed her lips for a moment.
After finishing her thoughts, Woo-yeon met eyes with Tae-kyung again.
“Take me to the world where you are.”
“If I take you?”
“…….,”
“Will you give your heart to me?”
Woo-yeon raised her eyebrows. Giving one’s heart to someone else is not an easy thing.
Even when feeding the fish raised at home every day, she did not give a single compartment of affection, not even giving them names.
After her grandmother passed away, Woo-yeon remained firm.
Because she didn’t depend on anyone.
Even to her grandmother, she didn’t completely trust or perfectly love her.
Woo-yeon bit her lip.
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…?
