Whether it was due to getting used to it or because they had already been much bolder, Tae Yeon just smiled.
And without realizing, she weaved her fingers between Do Jun’s.
Looking satisfied, Do Jun walked out of the kitchen with Tae Yeon’s hand in his.
Mrs. Choi, sitting in the living room, stood up.
“I hope the meal was to your liking.”
“Yes, it was delicious. Thank you, Mrs. Choi.”
In truth, they had spilled more food on the table than they had eaten.
As Mrs. Choi was about to enter the kitchen, Do Jun casually remarked.
“We spilled some food today, which is unlike us.”
Mrs. Choi just smiled.
“Don’t misunderstand, it’s not because the food wasn’t good.”
“Of course.”
Watching Mrs. Choi’s retreating figure, Do Jun and Tae Yeon headed straight to the bedroom.
“Was it uncomfortable earlier?”
The dining table was hard and narrow, making it difficult to lie down.
Tae Yeon felt incredibly embarrassed to have done such a thing in the sacred space of the kitchen.
Seeing Tae Yeon’s face turn red, Do Jun teasingly asked, “Looks like your fever hasn’t gone down yet.”
“It seems so.”
Tae Yeon, with one hand on her cheek, tried to distance herself from Do Jun.
Do Jun quickly moved to block the direction she was heading.
“Since you’ve caught a cold, don’t you want to properly pass it on to me?”
“What?”
“Oh, I didn’t actually ask for your consent.”
Do Jun gently caressed Tae Yeon’s face and then fixed her with an intense gaze.
It was the look of a male wanting to finish what they couldn’t due to spatial and temporal constraints in the kitchen.
“Then I’ll take it as your consent.”
The cool air in the bedroom quickly heated up.
Hyesook had gone out on a rare date with Tae Jin.
Sitting in a cozy café, they ordered coffee and chatted cheerfully.
Hyesook, checking Tae Jin’s mood, cautiously started a conversation.
“Tae Jin, do you remember a guy you dated before who worked at KK Food?”
“Who?”
Tae Jin, looking at her phone nonchalantly, replied.
“The one who was good-looking, but you said he was impractical and broke up with him quickly.”
“There were more than one of those guys.”
Tae Jin lifted her gaze from her phone, pondering for a moment.
“Ah, are you talking about Chae Si Rak?”
“Yes, that sounds right!”
“Why him?”
Hyesook leaned in and whispered to Tae Jin.
“I went to Tae Yeon’s company recently.”
“The day you went with a homemade lunch?”
“Yes.”
Just thinking about that day made Hyesook’s blood boil.
She took a sip of her iced coffee, trying to calm down, but fanned herself in frustration.
Seeming interested in a story involving Tae Yeon, Tae Jin put down her phone, her eyes twinkling.
“What about that day?”
“I saw that guy near the company.”
“Really?”
“It seemed like he and Tae Yeon were on the same team.”
Tae Jin slowly recalled the memory.
“I think it was the New Business Team or something.”
“Yes, Tae Yeon is there now.”
“Then they must be on the same team. Why?”
Hyesook, pulling her red-lipsticked lips into a grin, chuckled.
“You said he wasn’t going anywhere in his career, right?”
“You have an amazing memory, Mom!”
“That guy might be useful.”
“How so?”
Hyesook shared her thoughts with Tae Jin.
Throughout the conversation, Tae Jin’s smile grew wider and wider.
“Mom, how can you be so clever?”
“Whose mother am I?”
The two women laughed together.
With a triumphant look, Tae Jin opened her messaging app on her phone.
“When I broke up with Si Rak, he really clung to me.”
“Of course. Who wouldn’t, with such a pretty daughter?”
“Sometimes I get so tired because you made me too pretty, Mom.”
As Tae Jin playfully pouted, Hyesook lovingly touched her daughter’s cheek, adoringly.
“He’ll probably answer right away if I contact him now, right?”
Tae Jin didn’t hesitate to find Si Rak’s name in her contacts and call him.
After a moment, a familiar voice came through the receiver.
“Brother? It’s Tae Jin.”
—What’s up? Calling me first.
“Do you have any plans today? Can we meet for a bit?”
—Sure, I’m free.
“I’ll send you the time and place via message.”
Ending the call, Tae Jin laughed repeatedly, clearly pleased.
“Mom, this is going to be too easy.”
“It’s all thanks to our charming daughter.”
Tae Jin and Hyesook looked at each other, laughing as if they owned the world.
They were blissfully happy, everything going exactly as they planned.
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…?
