Do Jun skillfully wrapped Tae Yeon’s neck with a scarf in a beautiful way.
“Do Jun, you must have often done this for someone else,” Tae Yeon inquired, her question echoing the tone Do Jun had used earlier. She was both hopeful and apprehensive about his response.
“No,” Do Jun replied firmly.
“It’s up to Tae Yeon whether to believe it or not, but this is my first time,” he declared.
“That sounds like a lie.”
“I’ll take it as a compliment that I can do anything,” Do Jun said, smirking playfully. Tae Yeon responded with a shy smile.
They looked every bit the part of a loving newlywed couple.
Mrs. Choi silently observed them from the side, wearing a motherly smile.
On the way to the office, Tae Yeon hesitated as she instinctively reached for her hand cream in the passenger seat.
The source of last night’s incident seemed to be this very hand cream. Ever since Do Jun mentioned how her sweet scent affected him, she had been consumed by an absurd curiosity.
As Tae Yeon attempted to discreetly put the cream back in her handbag, Do Jun’s hand suddenly appeared in front of her face.
“…”
Looking up at Do Jun, he gestured with his hand and said, “I wish you’d put some on my hand too.”
“This one?”
“Yes, that hand cream. Its scent is really nice.”
Could he be remembering last night’s events?
As Tae Yeon remained silent, Do Jun shook his hand again, as if his arm was getting tired.
“Aren’t you willing to apply it to my hand?”
“No, it’s not that,” Tae Yeon responded.
That’s all it was – simply applying hand cream.
With that in mind, Tae Yeon squeezed a generous amount onto Do Jun’s large hand.
The cream formed a round shape as it landed on his hand.
Tae Yeon only squeezed the cream but didn’t spread it, so Do Jun, like the previous night, extended his hand, waiting silently.
“As you can see, I need to keep one hand on the wheel. Could you spread it for me, now that you’ve squeezed it out?”
It wasn’t a difficult task, but the memories of the previous night made her hesitant to touch him.
“Tae Yeon?”
“Yes, I’ll do it,” she replied.
Tae Yeon gently rubbed his hand with just two fingers, trying to make minimal contact.
The slipperiness of the cream mixed intriguingly with the softness of Do Jun’s skin.
Do Jun glanced at her with a faint smile, observing her from the side.
Tae Yeon noted that Do Jun’s hands were particularly large, yet they were not rough but had fine skin.
“Do Jun, your hands are really big,” she commented.
Last night, Tae Yeon had noticed how unusually large Do Jun’s hands were. Yet, they were not rough but had smooth skin.
“Do Jun, your hands are really big.”
“It’s not just my hands that are big.”
“Ah…”
Tae Yeon bit her lip and laughed awkwardly.
“There’s a lot you don’t know about me, Tae Yeon. As you can see, I’m tall, have a big heart, and more…”
Tae Yeon interrupted Do Jun mid-sentence.
“How about the tie I tied for you? Are you satisfied with it?”
Do Jun barely held back his laughter.
Did she realize how her overreactions made him want to tease her more? Tae Yeon’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment, which Do Jun found adorable.
Meanwhile, Tae Yeon checked that the hand cream was properly spread on Do Jun’s hand and tapped his hand twice to indicate she was done.
“Should I buy you a hand cream like this?” Tae Yeon asked.
If Do Jun had his own, he wouldn’t ask her to apply it anymore.
However, his reply was quite decisive.
“No, it’s not necessary.”
“Don’t you need it?”
“Just occasionally. Whenever I need it, I’ll borrow yours.”
Tae Yeon bit her lip again.
She would have to either throw away the hand cream or hide it. Having it around would give Do Jun an excuse to ask her to touch his hands daily, which frightened her.
Do Jun, who had been driving and looking ahead, seemed to have figured out what Tae Yeon was thinking.
“It seems you’re quite reluctant to apply it on me.”
“No, it’s not that.”
“Alright. Since we’re married, it’s important to have clear exchanges.”
Do Jun gestured towards the glove box.
“As repayment for borrowing your hand cream today, I’ll give you what’s in there. Open it.”
Tae Yeon opened the glove box to find chocolates, the same ones she had eaten in the emergency staircase, along with an ice pack.
“Oh? These are the chocolates you gave me before.”
“Yes. How about a barter system? We exchange items whenever needed.”
Tae Yeon couldn’t outright refuse such an offer.
As she nodded, Do Jun smiled, satisfied with the deal. It was an exchange that strengthened their bond.
“How’s your father doing these days?” Do Jun asked, bringing Tae Yeon’s thoughts back to President Jin.
Surprisingly, since Do Jun’s warning, President Jin hadn’t contacted her once.
Tae Yeon looked at Do Jun gratefully.
“Actually, he hasn’t contacted me lately.”
“That’s better. To get what he wants.”
“Thank you.”
“Are you very grateful?”
“Yes.”
Without Do Jun, she would have been stressed and sighing every day.
Thanks to less harassment from President Jin, she could relax after work and focus on her own life.
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…?
