Seo Yeon thought indifference was the best policy. She didn’t want to face those dreadful people any longer.
As she intended to sit on a chair in front of the buffet, a sneering voice echoed.
“How pitiful. He’s with me now.”
Seo Yeon smirked as if she found it amusing.
They weren’t exactly best friends, but they had attended university together and were somewhat friends who always remembered each other’s birthdays.
She only thought they admired Seo Yeon’s unique sense and taste, she didn’t know they coveted her boyfriend.
If it had been a stranger who stabbed her in the back, she could have avoided it, but it was someone they both knew, so she couldn’t avoid hearing the two’s story.
She had heard the news of their marriage after much complications, but actually encountering them made her feel filthier and uncomfortable.
“Why are you here?”
The woman, who had once been a university classmate and friend, asked while placing her hand on the waist of her pink skirt.
Seo Yeon just walked forward as if it wasn’t worth responding. Then the woman ran up, her hanbok skirt flaring, and shamelessly blocked Seo Yeon’s path.
When Seo Yeon shot her an icy look, the woman who had swallowed her spit said,
“Well. Let’s change the question, why do you think we’re here?”
When the woman motioned to look at her own hanbok, Seo Yeon was dumbfounded.
“Move.”
At the sound of a voice colder than an ice chamber, the man who once betrayed her quickly ran up and stopped the woman.
“Seo Yeon will be startled. What are you doing.”
“Ha. Seriously. Still obsessing over Han Seo Yeon. Who do you think bore a daughter like a rabbit with you!”
Seo Yeon clutched her head.
The number of eyes focused on the squabble between the couple in hanbok and the modellike woman was increasing one by one.
“Seo Yeon, I’m sorry. I’m showing you this ugly side again.”
“What are you doing now? In front of me.”
“Anyway, we’ve given Seo Yeon a scar that can’t be washed off. Why are you so emotional about everything? I’m tired. Really.”
They say laughter comes when you’re at your wits’ end.
Seo Yeon laughed as if she was crazy. Because she couldn’t believe this crappy situation.
Then things took an absurd turn.
The classmate, who was always hottempered, couldn’t contain her anger and threw her phone on the floor.
With the loud sound, all eyes around were instantly focused on them.
Some were even pulling out their phones to take a video, and from a distance, security guards in black suits could be seen walking over.
“Meeting an ex makes your heart flutter? At your onceinalifetime daughter’s first birthday party, is this what you should be doing?”
“We haven’t even exchanged greetings yet. Don’t overreact.”
“What. We? Us?”
Seo Yeon wanted to leave her seat before things got worse.
She was serious about that.
I just wanted to enjoy a buffet at a hotel with my friend. Take your marital fights home. You crazy people. That’s what Seo Yeon wanted to shout.
But she held it in.
Seo Yeon, gritting her teeth, was about to step away when an audacious alumnus began to whine.
“I’m living like an empty shell. You must be really happy. Having a man who still thinks of you so affectionately. Sob. Why did you have to show up at a hotel holding someone else’s first birthday party? I couldn’t even take all the photos. What is all this about?”
The people’s piercing gazes turned towards Seo Yeon.
If she backed off here, she would become the bad woman who shook another woman’s husband’s heart and ruined a onceinalifetime first birthday party.
That was an absolutely unbearable problem. But she still tried to endure it.
“What’s this? Why are all these people gathered? Uh huh. Why are these things here?”
Ho Jin, who had returned from the restroom, questioned while pointing towards those who once made Seo Yeon shed tears.
“Ha. I’m really at my wit’s end.”
Seeing her friend Ho Jin’s face, the emotions Seo Yeon had been trying to suppress surged up.
“Seo Yeon, I’m sorry. I really. I have no face to see you.”
“Stop calling my name. It gives me the creeps.”
Seo Yeon, who had made up her mind, suddenly became fierce.
“Going around this hotel, that hotel. When was it when you were having affairs? How dare you act like you know me.”
Seo Yeon’s words made the surrounding people start to murmur.
Not only was she irritated at being the center of attention, but she was also irritated by the man standing as if he was a sinner and the woman crying and pretending to be a victim.
“Hey! Why are you crying? Are you aggrieved? I shed blood and tears back then.”
Seo Yeon looked straight into the eyes of her alumna, who was playing the victim.
“Doing all sorts of things behind my back, and now you’re an empty shell? Ha. When I said I couldn’t meet you because I was disgusted, who was it that happily picked you up?”
“……”
“It was you. You! Do you know what this is called? Poetic justice!”
Then, someone in the crowd started clapping.
Ha. How embarrassing.
“Hey hey! Let’s not deal with them and leave. Ah, these filthy people.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
