Ye Seul suggested to Si Heon, who was heading to eat Frenchstyle seafood soup.
“I’ve been in France for 7 years, but Kimchi and Seolleongtang are the best for my taste.”
“I know a tasty place.”
Si Heon found it curious that unlike the other women who chose Italian or French cuisine when dining with him, Ye Seul would choose modest Korean food.
Perhaps it’s because Si Heon didn’t look like a man at all.
That’s why even that kiss from a while ago could have felt so pure.
Contrary to the confusion Si Heon felt, for Ye Seul, it would have been an act without any meaning.
Nevertheless, he harbored some expectations towards Ye Seul, who was trying to fulfill this contract.
What exactly is this emotion?
“Ye Seul Unni!”
Someone called out to Ye Seul.
Both of them turned towards the sound at the same time.
From behind the lobby, a woman came running and hugged Ye Seul.
A small stature, a round face, a girl she knew so well, even though they hadn’t met in 7 years.
“Hyun Ju, what’s going on?”
“Unni. I missed you.”
What could be the matter for Chun Ho’s daughter, Hyun Ju, who lives in the countryside, to be here alone?
“Does uncle know about this?”
“Unni…… Can I stay at your house?”
Hyun Ju was fiddling with her bag, looking up at Ye Seul with eyes as pitiful as a stray cat’s.
Ye Seul gave Si Heon a troubled look.
“What happened to your home, how did you get here?”
Ye Seul asked, flustered.
“Unni’s store. I saw the Ceedoo Core advertisement on Star Gram. I wanted to visit so badly and I missed you, so I went to Baeksong Hotel but the store was closed. Then I remembered Dad saying that Unni was working at Baeksong Bakery, so I came.”
“You should have called. What would you have done if you just showed up like this? What if we had missed each other at this late hour?”
Ye Seul chided her cousin, her eyebrows furrowed with worry.
“I was going to wait a bit longer and then call.”
At Hyun Ju’s sullen response, Ye Seul let out a small sigh.
“Did you tell uncle about it?”
“Don’t tell dad. He’ll be mad if he finds out I came to Seoul on my own.”
“But you should at least call.”
“I told him I was staying at a friend’s house……”
Ye Seul looked at Hyun Ju while holding her forehead.
“Since you’re worried, I’ll call and say I’m with you.”
“Okay. I’ll do it in a bit. So, can I stay at your house?”
Ye Seul glanced at Si Heon with a mischievous look.
“Hyun Ju, I’ll get a hotel room for you. Stay there tonight and go home tomorrow.”
The fact of Ye Seul and Si Heon’s marriage was also hidden from uncle Chun Ho.
“It might be best not to mention this to many people. For now, this marriage protects you, but it might become problematic if the contract were to fall apart. If you ever think about living with your husband…”
Ye Seul could not exactly recall what her grandmother had said, but from the moment the contract marriage was decided until the moment of divorce, she thought it was best if only she and her grandmother knew.
Therefore, it was surprising that Si Heon wore his wedding ring proudly and openly expressed the existence of his wife.
When they returned to Korea, everyone knew Si Heon was married.
Moreover, rumors that his wife was studying abroad spread among the employees they met at Baek Song Bakery and Baek Song Hotel.
Did Si Heon not think this marriage would leave a stain on him?
“Sister, I don’t want to be alone in the hotel… I’ve missed you and I want to stay up all night talking, like when we were kids. Can’t I go to your place?” Hyun Joo begged, sticking to Ye Seul with a pitiful expression.
The family of Uncle Chun Ho occupied grandmother’s sarangchae.
Hyun Joo was born the year after Ye Seul’s parents passed away and she moved to her grandmother’s house.
Ye Seul found Hyun Joo, who was 7 years younger than her, adorable.
She couldn’t forget the feeling she had when she first saw the baby with a chubby, round face.
When Ye Seul went to study in France, Hyun Joo cried a lot, holding onto her, asking her not to go.
In Paris, Ye Seul was busy adapting.
Overcoming the language barrier, adjusting to the kitchen where she went for practical training was overwhelming.
Working as a patissier in Paris was prestigious and rewarding, but it was a continuous process of exhausting work and constant testing of her abilities.
When Uncle Chun Ho called on the pretext of Hyun Joo, the best she could do was send money because she didn’t have the capacity to take care of Hyun Joo.
It was also uncomfortable for Ye Seul to have a young girl staying alone in a hotel.
“Of course, we should go together. Let’s stay together at the hotel tonight.”
Ye Seul felt Si Heon’s gaze, but reassured Hyun Joo first.
Then she looked at Si Heon cautiously and sent a look that seemed to ask, ‘Is it okay?’ But he didn’t seem to understand and asked while standing next to Ye Seul.
“So, when do you plan to get permission for your overnight stay, Ms. Ye Seul?”
Ye Seul had to face the issue she had been worried about since earlier. Even in a contract marriage, since they promised to fulfill their duties as husband and wife, there was a law that required them to report each other’s whereabouts as a family.
At least, they were aware that they worried about each other.
“Mr. Si Heon… Well, that’s…”
Ye Seul’s eyes wavered. “What if Hyun Ju notices something between Si Heon and me?”
“President brother!”
Hyun Ju happily grabbed Si Heon’s arm. Si Heon looked at Ye Seul, gently detached Hyun Ju’s arm, and smiled faintly.
“It’s been a while.”
“Do you two know each other?”
Ye Seul sent a puzzled look.
“President brother is the president of the workshop, isn’t he? Whenever he came to our neighborhood, I followed him around. Doesn’t he look like a real celebrity? At first, I asked him which agency he belonged to.”
Ah… that’s right. Jang Ok Ja’s workshop was affiliated with Baek Song Pastry.
“But……staying overnight? Are you living with President brother by any chance?”
Hyun Ju asked with sparkling eyes. Why does she only catch on at times like this?
“Could it be… Are you two dating? It was also suspicious that the two of you came out of the elevator in good spirits late at night!”
Hyun Ju clapped her hands and cheered.
“That… That’s not it, Hyun Ju.”
Ye Seul was stammering, trying to find an appropriate excuse.
“Wow! Sister! Respect! Whenever President brother came, all the girls in the neighborhood were clinging to the wall of our workshop.”
Ye Seul had a headache, not knowing where to start explaining.
Was her thinking hindered because she was hungry?
Ye Seul looked at Si Heon as if she were longing for a helping hand.
“Ye Seul, what was our relationship?”
Si Heon wrapped his arm around Ye Seul’s shoulder and smiled cunningly.
Ah… That was wrong. This man always lacked tact in situations like this.

Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
