Jun’s brisk steps towards the business department after getting off the elevator somehow seemed cheerful.
While he could understand that sentiment, Jinwon couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
Jun was just as knowledgeable about Taehee as he was about himself.
“Hey, CEO, don’t you think the little madam might get angry? She really hates lies.”
“Why would this be a lie? It’s a surprise event.”
Jun’s response was nonchalant.
It had been a month and a half since he left his position at Seomun Food, which successfully turned a profit after 10 months, to assume the role of hotel CEO, planning it all in honor of Taehee.
The reason was solely Taehee.
He remembered watching a romance movie with Taehee when she was pregnant. It was a romance film about an office couple, and he vividly recalled his wife, who shot numerous hearts from her eyes, finding the scene where the couple kissed on the emergency stairs romantic.
If kissing on the emergency stairs at work was romance for his wife, then doing it for her was enough.
For this reason, Jun promptly rejected Yongjin’s proposal to go to Seomun Chemicals and chose Seomun Hotel, barely avoiding losses and going into a hotel struggling with deficits.
Without an inauguration ceremony, without any articles, he simply sent a single announcement email to all hotel employees, expressing his intention to show his face in each department soon. Today was the day.
It was his wife’s first day at work.
Of course, she would be surprised by today’s surprise event. Perhaps she might be a little suspicious, or she might receive a few slaps on the back of her head.
However, in the end, it would be a happy ending. After a few slaps on the back of the head, if he sealed her mouth with a kiss, he wouldn’t get scolded.
Although it started as an effort to fulfill his wife’s romantic fantasy about an office couple, Jun found himself looking forward to it as well.
Was it just anticipation, or had his imaginative and risky thoughts crossed the red line long ago?
He had already started pondering where would be a good place for their first encounter.
His office, a personal lounge, or perhaps the emergency stairs that made Taehee shoot hearts from her eyes.
Thanks to the pleasant imagination, Jun’s face, as he entered the office, was not as indifferent as usual.
The soft expression and gaze that melted were met with sparkling eyes from the employees, precisely the female ones.
Starting from the office entrance, moving systematically through each department, Jun’s heart was already in the marketing department at the very end.
Finally arriving at the marketing department.
Even though he could feel his wife’s gaze staring at him, Jun deliberately avoided giving her attention.
“This is the new CEO, Kang Jun.”
Jinwon introduced him briefly, and Jun added encouraging words to each employee, looking into their eyes one by one.
Enduring gazes that were holding on till the very end, he finally reached the woman he loved.
Seeing the still somewhat unbelievable large eyes, there was a sudden rush of warmth in an instant.
Jun closed the distance, his gaze still fixed on Taehee.
As if waiting for this moment, Manager Yoon introduced Taehee, uttering the sound of footsteps.
“This is Min Taehee. Even as an intern, she has outstanding skills, comparable to experienced professionals. With the new CEO arriving, it seems we have a talented individual joining us, not just an intern, as before.”
Maintaining his gaze on Taehee, Jun casually asked,
“How is it possible to have excellent skills in just four hours since your first day?”
Facing such a straightforward work-related question, Manager Yoon broke into a cold sweat.
“I gave her some basic tasks to do, and there was nothing to criticize. We’ll have to observe more, but they say you can tell from one thing, right?”
“So, you have high expectations for the contract intern who just started today?”
By this point, Manager Yoon started to feel confused. Whether praising the intern was bothering him or if he liked it.
But since he already praised her and even made the sound with his mouth, saying otherwise would be absurd. Whatever, who knows, let’s just see.
“Yes, I have very high expectations!”
“Miss Min Taehee.”
The softly spoken voice was subtly gentle.
“…Yes, CEO.”
Apparently quite surprised, Taehee dropped the pen she was holding as she answered.
Even before Taehee, Jun bent down to pick up the pen, and a commotion erupted with exclamations coming from all directions.
Amidst the commotion, Jun felt like he and Taehee were the only two in this vast space.
Only Taehee was visible, only Taehee’s breathing could be heard, and only Taehee’s fragrance was prevalent.
All senses were focused on the woman he loved.
“What are you doing? Don’t pick it up.”
Just seeing the pupils tremble beneath long eyelashes was enough to make his chest ache crazily.
“Ah, thank you.”
Taking the pen with slender, white fingers, the intentional skinship of the fingers brushing was unmistakable.
Jun stared closely with his narrowed eyes.
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…?
