As lunchtime passed, the number of visitors in the botanical garden had increased noticeably. It seemed that people escaping the crowded amusement park for a while were flocking here.
It had been about ten years since Autumn last visited a botanical garden. Although enjoying the flowers was delightful, watching the people was equally entertaining. Whether it was the way they looked at the flowers, exchanged glances with each other, or shared drinks, every little action seemed to radiate warmth, reflecting precious moments spent with loved ones.
Though not visible, Autumn felt a warm wave washing over her heart.
As she smiled at the happy-looking people, her gaze suddenly stopped at a family with a child. The child, apparently frustrated at not being able to see the flowers because of the crowd, burst into tears.
The father skillfully picked up his child, comforting the little one with gentle words.
“Haeun, do you want Dad to give you a piggyback ride? Then you’ll be able to see better.”
The child, having stopped crying, nodded in agreement.
“Yes. I want to see the flowers.”
“Come here, I’ll lift you so you can see just the flowers. Up we go.”
“Wow, I can see them!”
Autumn’s gaze was fixed on the father and child.
Suddenly, the area became noisy, and someone rushed towards Autumn. Lost in observation, she didn’t move in time and collided with the person.
“…Ah!”
Losing her balance from the collision, Autumn fell.
Despite the numerous signs advising against running, the man who had been running without looking ahead scowled and unjustly snapped at Autumn.
“Hey, watch where you’re going!”
Stunned by the man’s harsh tone, Autumn was speechless.
The man fussily adjusted his clothes, still showing annoyance.
Then, their eyes met.
“…?”
Suddenly, his expression softened, and he flashed a sly smile. Initially, it seemed he would pass by without an apology, but then he unexpectedly started talking to Autumn.
“Hey, you’re pretty cute. Are you here alone?”
“…No, I’m with someone.”
Her firm response made the man look around. Autumn followed his gaze but…
‘Uh… where is the Chairman?’
He was nowhere to be seen.
It appeared that she had moved too far ahead and lost sight of him. Autumn let out a frustrated sigh.
“There’s no one here.”
Thinking Autumn was lying, the man and his friends began to harass her more seriously, not letting go of her wrist.
“Come on, join us if you’re alone. You must be bored. How old are you? What’s your name?”
“Please let go, I really am with someone.”
“I get a bit upset when people keep rejecting me with made-up excuses…”
He mumbled threateningly, his friends giggling as if it was all a game.
Surrounded by these intimidating people, fear crept into Autumn. She frantically looked around for help. That’s when she spotted him, searching for her in the distance.
Relieved, she called out loudly.
“Chairman!”
Hearing her voice, he turned and saw her.
“Yoon Ga-eul. You…!”
Annoyed, he was about to speak when he noticed the strange men surrounding her and narrowed his eyes.
He had been looking for her after she had gone ahead, only to find her trapped by some unsavory characters. And Autumn looked genuinely scared, huddled and shivering.
“Hey. What’s going on here?”
His tone was stern as he approached, and the men who had been blocking Autumn took a step back, sizing him up.
As he stepped closer, the man seemed flustered. From a distance, he hadn’t realized the stature of the man approaching him, but up close, he was significantly taller and looked down at him dismissively.
Feeling the pressure from his gaze, the man suddenly became meek, even stammering in his speech.
“Ah, I thought she was alone and might be bored…”
“…”
“Ahaha, so she really did have company.”
“You gonna let go?”
“Sorry! Have a good time!”
The man hastily retreated with an unsolicited apology, leaving Autumn watching his departure in disbelief. The same person who hadn’t listened to her plea to move away…
Observing the man leave with a sensitive demeanor, he turned his head to look at Autumn.
Autumn, feeling a bit more relieved, looked up at him with droopy eyes and a gentle face. He sighed softly, murmuring to himself.
“Haah… Should have come on a weekday.”
More people, more problems.
“Why do you wander off without saying anything?”
“…Sorry.”
Autumn smiled sheepishly.
Then, suddenly jostled by the bustling crowd, her small frame staggered.
“…?”
Quickly, he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her slightly towards him.
“…”
This helped them escape the crowd, but it also wrapped Autumn in an awkward feeling.
“He really needs a lot of attention.”
After pulling her out of the crowd, he immediately let go of her and moved to hold her hand. It was a casual grasp, but Autumn was still startled by it.
He appeared slightly tired and spoke in an annoyed tone.
“It’s hard to find you again. Just hold on and don’t say anything.”
“…Okay.”
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…?
