“I, you can just lean on me.”
The woman wrapped her arms around Taejoon’s waist and stuck close. Even while drunk, he frowned at the overwhelming fragrance emanating from the woman.
“It’s okay.”
The moment he pushed the woman away, a man wearing a hat approached and politely greeted them.
“You called for a substitute driver?”
“Yes. The car is over there.”
After he informed the driver of the car number, the substitute driver greeted and ran off, saying he would bring the car. Meanwhile, Taejoon leaned against the glass window and looked at the woman.
Curiosity sparkled in her pretty face.
“Are you always this brusque? I’m just being friendly.”
It was probably not friendliness but something more sinister.
Even though he was drunk, he clearly expressed his intention with undistorted pronunciation. The woman pursed her lips.
Then, the substitute driver came out with the car in front of the hotel to support Taejoon.
“Would you like to lean on me?”
“No, I can walk.”
He declined the driver’s offer as well and got into the car by himself. As he settled into the comfortable back seat, drowsiness began to overwhelm him.
Before closing his eyes, he told the substitute driver the address. And that became his last memory.
But even after his car started moving, the woman stood in that spot for a long time, staring in the direction the car disappeared.
Chewing her red lips, she mumbled.
“He’s so blunt. Really.”
Taejoon’s aura was much different than what she had seen in the photos. A tall figure, broad shoulders, and an irresistibly attractive face.
Even Seo Jiwon, who had a thick skin in the entertainment industry, felt a unique aura for the first time.
“He says he has a beloved woman…….”
She felt a slight jealousy toward a woman whose face she didn’t even know.
But then her phone rang.
“Yes. Did the photos turn out well? Did you adjust the angles well?”
[Oh, yes. They came out very convincingly.]“Good. Then, follow him without being noticed until you can get the next photo.”
[Understood.]Jiwon sighed lightly after ending the call.
In fact, handling one man was not a difficult task. Fortunately, Taejoon appeared at an appropriate place today, and she thought it was an opportunity, but even during his solo drinking session, he showed no opening.
No, it wasn’t an opening, but he didn’t even glance in another direction.
He should have made eye contact to approach with a smile. But he seemed to be indulging in his own world, drinking solo without interruption.
Still, today was on the lucky side. He got drunk on his own, after all.
“But even in that state of intoxication, seeing not a single word slurred in pronunciation, it was clear that his mental strength was extraordinary.
Although today he managed to embrace his waist, Jiwon knew she wouldn’t be able to see that man’s scattered state again. Therefore, there would be no next chance for her.
Eventually, the story became that she had to adjust her goal.
Jiwon quickly called Minhyeong.
“Oppa, I……..”
Minhyeong, who answered the call, was very annoyed. It was because he had heard from Jiwon that the job wouldn’t be easy.
Of course, it was expected. However, once he confirmed the reality, it was inevitable to be annoyed.
[Oppa, it’s really not ordinary. I clearly saw him downing drinks continuously. Five glasses! But not a single slurred word. Maybe because his body doesn’t respond to words, I was able to approach him to that extent today. If he were in a clear state of mind, I wouldn’t have been able to get close.]
“So, did you take the photos?”
[Maybe it will arrive in your email soon, oppa? I think the results aren’t bad, but you judge when you see it. Actually, it seems like today might be the last day to get close to him to take such pictures.]“Hey, Seo Jiwon. Why so humble in an unsportsmanlike manner?”
He deliberately pulled back to stimulate Jiwon’s instinct. However, Jiwon didn’t get involved in Minhyeong’s play.
[These days, the composite photos seemed like a piece of cake. Shouldn’t we do that?]Who wouldn’t have thought of that?
But the opponent was Baek Seolin. Instead of suspecting the situation after receiving the photo, she focused first on verifying the authenticity of the photo. So, the story was that such clumsy photo manipulation wouldn’t work.
The photo had to be real, not manipulated.
“If such a tactic worked against the opponent, would I have invested so much money to get you hooked on that drama?”
[True. Then what should we do?]
Minhyeong pondered. Somehow, he had to shake Seolin before the theme hotel site bidding. To do that, a photo that could make Taejoon’s relationship suspicious was absolutely necessary.
Suddenly, Minhyeong remembered that Jiwon had a very special status.
A celebrity. Therefore, a situation that could not lead to a scandal.
So, wasn’t it enough to have a photo of Taejoon and Jiwon in the same space? Like a paparazzi shot.
When the thought reached that point, Minhyeong smiled with a sense of reconsideration and opened his mouth to Jiwon.
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…?
