Sa-jun responded calmly.
“My father lived here for about three years of married life. Now it’s used as an annex, and remodeling has partially started, so you can fill in the interior. Do you want to go see?”
Tae-hee, silently nodding, took Sa-jun’s hand and entered through the wrought-iron gate.
The garden, covered with lush grass, wasn’t as large as the one just now, but it was spacious, and the landscaping was well done.
A quaint playground on one side of the garden caught Tae-hee’s attention for a long time.
After a while, when she finally turned her head, she saw a long, house-like structure attached to the building, and they walked slowly towards it.
Inside the space surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides, there was an indoor swimming pool.
Swallowing her dry saliva, Tae-hee said to Sa-jun, “I want to go inside my house too.”
There was a connecting door between the buildings.
When Sa-jun opened that door, a spacious first-floor area appeared. Tae-hee, who had no interest in cooking, could see a kitchen that every woman would dream of.
Thinking that her mom would love it, Tae-hee stood in the middle of the spacious area where the utensils were not yet filled.
The dense afternoon sunlight illuminated the living room warmly through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Closing her eyes as if enchanted by the view of the garden visible at a glance beyond the windows, Tae-hee imagined Sa-jun playing with a child in the garden.
Opening her eyes slowly, a faint smile appeared on Tae-hee’s lips.
At the moment when she thought she would be very happy in this house, a soft sound of wind reached her ears. Along with it, the sound of leaves rustling.
Wondering where it was coming from, she instinctively lifted her head, and through the glass roof, she could see a clear autumn sky pouring down on her.
Having captured that sky for a moment, Tae-hee looked back at Sa-jun.
A tall and well-built man was waiting for her response, holding his breath.
It was time to answer, but strangely, her throat felt blocked, and her eyes became warm.
It wasn’t because she didn’t like it. It was too much to her liking, and it felt like tears might fall because of the precious treatment she had never received before.
Misunderstanding Tae-hee, who closed her eyes tightly to avoid crying, Sa-jun said, “If you’re okay with it, my father said he’d give you this house and the land in your name. I agreed first. It might be uncomfortable if it’s too close.”
If Tae-hee didn’t like it, Sa-jun was ready to reject this house immediately and find another one.
But what should I do, Kang Sa-jun?
“I’m not uncomfortable. No, I really like this house.”
Staring intently at Tae-hee, who answered sincerely, Sa-jun seemed to be trying to gauge if there was any falsehood.
“If you don’t want it, just say so. I’ll take care of everything.”
“It suits my taste? Not only me, but our baby also really likes this house.”
Smiling brightly, Tae-hee approached Sa-jun with graceful steps, reaching just below his chin.
Looking up at his mysteriously dark eyes, she pondered, “I don’t have anything to give you. What can I do for you?”
“Kang Sa-jun, we’re already living together and will continue to be together. But why do you dislike delaying the wedding?”
“The wedding is the day you officially declare that you are my woman. Waiting for more than six months for that is…”
Interpreting it as he pleased, Tae-hee murmured, hugging Sa-jun’s waist, “You foolish man, do you think I consider myself your woman just because we’re having a wedding?”
“…….”
“It’s not a wedding; we should file our marriage registration first.”
In fact, Tae-hee had already noticed.
Sa-jun’s frustration at not being able to file the marriage registration. But she refrained from suggesting to register their marriage without having a wedding, thinking it might seem like she was taking advantage of him.
“I applied for a name change this week. So, Sa-jun…”
As Tae-hee intentionally paused, Sa-jun, swallowing dry saliva, had a burning look in his eyes.
Sa-jun, who was frustrated with me, Sa-jun, who was burning up because of me.
Since the wish she held vaguely during her dating days had come true, it was now Tae-hee’s turn to fulfill Sa-jun’s wish.
“Shall we apply for an ID card reissuance and go to register our marriage?”
“Yeah, let’s do that.”
With a delighted face, Sa-jun tightly embraced Tae-hee.
Feeling the slightly swollen belly through their connected bodies, Sa-jun let go of Tae-hee again.
“My belly seems to have grown a bit.”
“Yeah, it has. And it might grow even more, and I might waddle like a penguin. I’ve been eating a lot lately, so I’ll gain a lot of weight.”
Due to Tae-hee’s voracious appetite, Sa-jun found a new joy.
It was the pleasure of watching Tae-hee happily eating various foods. He would buy and bring different foods, and if Tae-hee said she wanted to eat something, he would shuttle back and forth with the food. It was the joy of happily observing Tae-hee eating well.
“Then I won’t be pretty at all.”
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…?
