“Is this all?”
“Yes. Well… There were ups and downs, but it’s a really solid company financially. Most importantly, Kang, the representative we met yesterday, is a big name in that industry. The Midas of investment, you might say.”
In the car on the way to the company, Seo Rin skimmed through the data on The MG sent by Director Park. A faint crease formed on her forehead.
‘If there was a way to secure your management rights forever… How about it, are you willing to hear it out?’
The sweet words she heard yesterday were still dripping like honey in her ears.
It was truly tempting. But even then, she couldn’t answer easily. Tae Joon, with his unique charming smile, said to her,
‘Take your time to think. It might not be the method you want.’
He promised a next time.
She could have asked, but she didn’t want to. Somehow, she felt she wouldn’t be able to handle what he would say.
But she knew. At this moment, aside from Tae Joon, she had no other options.
It was a hand she had to grab anyway, but there were still unclear parts about him that made her hesitant to grab his hand without knowing anything.
After all, Tae Joon was also a human being. How much could he have forgiven her who had turned her back on him so harshly 8 years ago?
So, to figure out his intentions, she looked into his company. But according to the data brought by Director Park, The MG was a company with a larger capital scale than Seongwon.
No matter how much she thought about it, there seemed to be no case where The MG would benefit from joining hands with her from a business perspective.
But Tae Joon willingly reached out to her.
That meant business wasn’t the absolute reason.
Yet, she could no longer deeply ponder about that reason. She had to take his hand regardless of any reason, just to extinguish the pressing fire at her feet.
In the end, she was being caught in his web.
Just like the first moment she met him, again like that.
Tae Joon was running on a treadmill in a hotel gym that overlooked an outdoor swimming pool.
Last night, his emotions and thoughts were in disarray, and he couldn’t sleep a wink. His body was tired, but his energy was overflowing. He was sweating like this from morning, unable to control that overflowing energy.
Everything had become a mess after meeting her.
So Dam advised him to let go even now. To call William again and have him attend the shareholders meeting instead, and for him to focus solely on confirming his suspicions about his mother’s death, which was his original purpose for coming to Korea.
He understood it well enough in his head. But his heart did not follow. That woman who left saying she hated him, why did he keep bumping into her?
Of course, the question of his mother’s death was also an issue he couldn’t let go. He was naturally going to solve it.
However, his mother’s death was in the past, and she was the reality in front of his eyes.
Right now, the past couldn’t beat the reality. She kept flickering in front of his eyes. He felt like he was being unfilial to his departed mother for no reason.
The more guilt settled in his heart, the more he increased the speed of the treadmill.
His body was moving quickly, raising the temperature of his heart. If he pushed his body, he thought he might be able to shake off thoughts about her.
“Crazy bastard.”
As he was soaked in sweat and his breath was reaching his chin, a curse slipped out. Only after his head became white from lack of oxygen did he stop the treadmill and get off.
He breathed heavily.
It was so hard it felt like dying.
But he knew. Once this pain subsided and there was room for thought, it would inevitably be filled with her again.
He seemed to be unable to escape from her on his own. He rather wished she would break it off. As she had turned away coolly and harshly 8 years ago.
Could I then return to before I met you again?
No, he didn’t think he could. Because his phone was already ringing, displaying her name.
“Hello.”
[It’s me, Tae Joon.]Without the satisfaction of sweating.
Without the meaning of pushing his body.
[Can we meet tonight?]And so, she came back to him again.
Tae Joon, who arrived early at the reserved wine bar, was sipping a drink lightly. Feeling the bitter scent of alcohol lingering in his mouth, he was lost in thought.
Seo Rin had contacted him again in just a day. It was faster than expected. It must mean that she was cornered.
This shouldn’t happen, but a sense of expectation kept swelling up from one side of his heart, thinking that this might be an opportunity.
An opportunity to start over with her.
An opportunity to reset his heart, which he thought was broken.
But the shred of conscience he had left kept shouting that he was cowardly. He felt despicable digging into her weakness at a time like this.
As his desire and conscience were engaged in a fierce war, she revealed herself.
“You came early. I thought I was early too.”
“Yes. Today is my day off.”
“Sorry. I called you on your rare day off.”
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…?
