Seated in the cafe, Jin Young-cheol lifted his head every time the entrance door opened. When the face he had been waiting for finally appeared, a smile spread across his face.
Yoon Seol-hee, with an easygoing appearance in a perfectly fitting skirt suit, approached him.
“Come here. What kind of tea would you like?”
“It’s okay. I can’t stay long. I was surprised when you contacted me suddenly.”
Jin Young-cheol nodded as if understanding.
“I’ll be direct. I plan to run in the upcoming by-election.”
“But why?”
“Come under me. It’s a hundred times more advantageous to build your career under a five-term lawmaker like me. Being the second party’s deputy spokesperson sounds good, but it doesn’t really help your career, does it?”
“Why are you suddenly saying this? You didn’t like me, remember?”
Looking at the skeptical Yoon Seol-hee, Jin Young-cheol chuckled.
“We need to distinguish between things. The fact that you’re a capable aide is because I know it well.”
“To be honest, going to Representative Jin won’t gain me much.”
“My son, Seon-woo.”
At the unexpected name uttered by Jin Young-cheol, Yoon Seol-hee’s face turned pale.
“Still have lingering feelings for Seon-woo? If you’re by my side, you might clash with Seon-woo and naturally, old emotions might revive. But it’s the first step.”
“I don’t understand why you’re doing this. Seon-woo is already married, isn’t he?”
When Yoon Seol-hee refuted, Jin Young-cheol, thinking of Green, replied with a stern expression.
“He lacks basic courtesy. You may have thought you were lacking at times, but when thinking about him, you’re a hundred times better as Seon-woo’s partner.”
Jin Young-cheol didn’t miss the slight tremble in Yoon Seol-hee’s hand as she swept her hair back. He smiled with a triumphant look.
“Can I tell you a secret? Since you left, Seon-woo, that guy, just locked himself at home, drowning in alcohol. If I hadn’t forcibly dragged him out, he would have lived like a recluse for quite a while.”
“Seon-woo?”
Yoon Seol-hee’s eyes widened in disbelief. Because of his strange attitude, keeping a distance even while talking about marriage, she had been sad, suspecting it wasn’t just her one-sided love.
The words that Seon-woo suffered so much from their separation were enough to shake Yoon Seol-hee. At that moment, an unexpected voice came from behind.
“Spokesperson Yoon?”
Startled, Yoon Seol-hee stood up. The person approaching with strong energy was none other than Baek Seon-joo, the party leader.
“I happened to pass by and saw Spokesperson Yoon. Do you have a guest?”
Up until then, Baek Seon-joo hadn’t been aware of Jin Young-cheol’s presence. Upon seeing him sitting across from Yoon Seol-hee, her expression stiffened.
“I learned politics for the first time in Representative Jin’s office. I heard you returned and contacted him happily.”
Unaware of the relationship between Jin Young-cheol and Baek Seon-joo, Yoon Seol-hee hurriedly provided an explanation for this sudden meeting.
Baek Seon-joo nodded but didn’t withdraw her sharp gaze from Jin Young-cheol.
“I was about to get up. Representative Jin, it’s been a while, nice to see you.”
“Yeah, let’s get in touch next time.”
Yoon Seol-hee tried to leave hurriedly with Baek Seon-joo, but Baek Seon-joo didn’t move at all.
“Jin Young-cheol, why are you contacting our spokesperson Yoon again?”
In response to Baek Seon-joo’s aggressive tone, both Jin Young-cheol and Yoon Seol-hee were taken aback.
“Spokesperson Yoon, go in first.”
Although she looked at them with uneasy eyes, Yoon Seol-hee reluctantly left first.
Baek Seon-joo pulled out a chair without hesitation and sat in front of Jin Young-cheol. His momentum made Jin Young-cheol feel a bit overwhelmed.
It had been the same since he was young. He had been fascinated by her fiery temperament, enthusiasm, and political ambitions. However, her current attitude, unchanged from back then, was burdensome.
“Tell me honestly. What’s going on here?”
“I told you. I came because I heard the good news that Yoon Seol-hee returned.”
“Hmph, do you think I don’t know you? I’m warning you, I won’t let anyone take away my person. Especially not you!”
Watching Baek Seon-joo confidently claim her possession, Jin Young-cheol got irritated.
“Send your son to me and yet you dare say such things.”
At that moment, Baek Seon-joo’s gaze turned cold. Feeling that if eyes could kill, she would have killed him by now, Jin Young-cheol shivered.
In over 30 years of being in politics, they had clashed with each other from time to time, but mentioning Seon-woo was unprecedented. He couldn’t have imagined that her reaction would be so ruthless.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about at all.”
Regaining composure, Baek Seon-joo stood up from her seat.
“I warned you clearly. If you touch my person, you’ll die by my hands.”
Even though Baek Seon-joo had already disappeared from sight, Jin Young-cheol trembled as if a chill had run down his spine.
“Wow, Director! Every single photo is so cool!”
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…?
