Her gaze stopped at the large bed visible on the other side of the glass wall. Ye Seul approached the bed with a difficult face.
This house, which seemed to be at least 50 pyeong, only had one bedroom…
Could there be another room somewhere?
“Should I sleep on the sofa?”
Ye Seul asked, to which Si Heon responded with a puzzled expression.
“Why sleep on the sofa when there’s a bed?”
Si Heon, who had by now joined Ye Seul’s side, asked with a face that seemed to not understand at all.
Ye Seul wondered if she had misunderstood something.
“From what I can see… this house doesn’t seem to have a guest room…”
“Ye Seul.”
Si Heon called Ye Seul’s name in a serious tone.
“Don’t forget the terms of this contract. We live like a real couple until the day you sign the divorce papers.”
The color drained from Ye Seul’s face.
“You mean we share a bed?”
Ye Seul puffed up her cheeks while leaning against the bed.
“As you’re my wife, who else would I share a bed with?”
Si Heon responded with a calm expression.
Si Heon stared intensely at Ye Seul’s flustered face, seemingly savoring her reaction with his dark eyes.
Ye Seul’s pupils trembled slightly.
Si Heon found himself grinning at Ye Seul’s feigned innocence.
Si Heon himself didn’t understand why he felt this way towards Ye Seul.
Even if she was his wife, it was only on paper…
Seeing her drawing the line and acting like a man sparked a strange defiance in Si Heon.
“We were never a real couple.”
Ye Seul was so flustered that her tongue seemed to tie itself in knots.
Si Heon narrowed his eyes. Was it all pretense?
Before heading to the airport, the sight of Sebastian and Ye Seul together when he went to find CD crossed his mind.
Seeing Ye Seul in Sebastian’s arms had stirred an uncomfortable emotion.
Back then, she didn’t seem to have any hesitation about physical touch.
It seemed like she had a special relationship with Sebastian.
He remembered the thrill that ran through him when he found out that Chloe was Ye Seul.
They had been a nominal couple for seven years. Even if she had a lover, he understood that it was something he couldn’t help.
But all the while, Si Heon had strictly maintained the boundary of being a couple.
This might be some sort of spite.
“So let’s try from now on. To be a real couple.”
“Chairman. It’s only for three months. We’ll divorce after three months.”
What could this man be expecting from a marriage with a fixed end?
“Ye Seul.”
Si Heon, with his chiseled, handsome face, lowered his head and came uncomfortably close to Ye Seul.
Ye Seul froze, took a step back, and was about to fall backwards onto the bed.
Si Heon extended his hand and firmly caught Ye Seul’s waist.
Ye Seul’s hand clasped onto Si Heon’s arm. Their gazes collided, and their breaths echoed in the silence.
The warmth of the man’s skin beneath the shirt was conveyed through her palm.
Was another person’s body temperature this high?
Ye Seul thought her face must surely be turning red.
“Married for……. 7 years, and…….”
Ye Seul blinked slowly as she spoke.
“Nothing ever happens in bed.”
Ye Seul recalled a story her married friends in Paris had told her.
Si Heon laughed softly as he slipped his hand under Ye Seul’s arm and lifted her up.
Had Si Heon’s laughter always been so refined?
For some reason, it felt like he was genuinely amused.
Ironically, that laughter made Ye Seul tense.
“I have no intention of crossing the line if Miss Ye Seul doesn’t want.”
“What then, do you want from me…….?”
Si Heon raised his large hand and cradled Ye Seul’s round face.
“Sleep together, wake up together, eat together……. and talk about daily life in marriage?”
“It seems to me that there’s nothing good for you in this, Mr. Si Heon…….”
“We will share a bed.”
Si Heon grabbed Ye Seul’s wrist, pulled her close, and wrapped his arm around her waist.
Frustrated at being pulled along, she tensed her arm.
Why was her heartbeat so loud?
“Of course, if Miss Ye Seul wants me, I have no intention of hesitating. I’ve fulfilled my duty to my wife for 7 years.”
A lie.
Wasn’t it a fantasy that such a healthylooking man hadn’t done anything for 7 years?
Ye Seul turned her head away from the fantasies popping up in her mind.
As she thought of the man’s hand on her waist, the muscles of his arm, tensing as if ripping her skirt, came to mind.
Was she getting feverish because she was sick?
“Let me go.”
Apart from chocolate, the immuneless Ye Seul was nearly at her first time being this close to a man.
Disappointingly, Si Heon released his grip lightly.
“So I can consider that you agree on the marriage extension?”
“Wait a moment…….”
Ye Seul continued to gaze at Si Heon suspiciously.
“What does this contract marriage extension mean to you, President? I don’t see any benefits that could make you give up the rights to the workshop.”
Three months. What did this man want to gain in that short time?
“A little bit of stalling.”
Si Heon still spoke with a bright expression.
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…?
