But a small sigh of relief came from the person next to her. When she slightly turned her head, Hwang Ju Hee was brushing her chest, and when her eyes met Seo Ha’s, she whispered.
“There aren’t many people in the design department, you know. So I was worried that I might have to participate in the evaluation event as well. What a disgrace it would be if I sent a design without knowing anything and got rejected for all of them?”
As if the mere thought was horrifying, Ju Hee shuddered.
“Come to think of it, that’s true.”
“Seo Ha has talent, so she’ll do well. I’ll help you whenever I have time.”
Would she really do well?
Seo Ha had been recognized as a super rookie when she first attended the evaluation event, and six of her designs were accepted. The next season, she had eight accepted, and then twelve in the following season. She had never submitted fewer than ten designs in a single season.
Thanks to that, she was busier than anyone else in the office, received more incentives than anyone else, and was promoted faster than anyone else.
Even if they didn’t know that, Ji Soo’s expression was overly confident. It was as if she was certain that Seo Ha’s designs would never be accepted.
What a trusting side she had.
Seo Ha’s eyes narrowed.
“So, you felt that way?”
“It’s not that I felt that way, but yeah. Please pass me some pickled radish over there.”
Kyung Joon, who was about to roll up a bite of jajangmyeon, looked at Seo Ha with disdain.
“Don’t you have a conscience? This is my pickled radish. Jo Seo Ha, you already ate all of yours.”
“How petty.”
Grumbling, Seo Ha snapped one of the remaining pickled radishes in half and ate it with a crunch.
“Seo Ha, eat your mom’s radish.”
Hae Sun scooped up all the pickled radish from her plate and plopped it into Seo Ha’s bowl.
“Mom’s the best.”
“Why is the CEO Jo Seo Ha’s mom?”
“Since she calls me her daughter, I should call her mom too. Who knows? Her memory might come back. Anyway…”
Seo Ha looked Kyung Joon up and down.
“Why do you come to our house and eat every day? It’s already been three days.”
As usual, he was wearing a crisp white shirt and a suit, yet he was incongruously sitting on a newspaper spread on the floor, eating jajangmyeon.
“Because the CEO was worried.”
“As if I couldn’t handle it on my own.”
“I told you, I can’t trust you. How can I trust someone who tried to steal Yoon Seo Ha’s designs?”
“What’s different about a company spy?”
Grumbling, Seo Ha searched for and ate a piece of sweet and sour pork without sauce.
That man had such a disastrous personality that he had committed the tremendous crime of pouring sauce on the sweet and sour pork as soon as it arrived today.
“Let’s get to the point. What do you think Ji Soo will do at the evaluation event?”
“Yeah, she fought with me last time.”
Kyung Joon recalled that day and let out a sarcastic laugh.
“What on earth did you say to Ji Soo?”
“I didn’t say much. Just something like a talentless woman who got a team leader position by relying on her married boyfriend, that’s all.”
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Suddenly, a loud laugh erupted. Seo Ha looked at Kyung Joon, who was laughing so hard he was holding his stomach, as if he were crazy.
“What’s so funny?”
“No, it’s just refreshing.”
Kyung Joon continued to chuckle while picking up a piece of sweet and sour pork to eat.
“I bet Ji Soo wants to fire you so badly. No one in this company has ever talked to her like that.”
“But everyone knows it, right? The atmosphere got awkward when Yoon Seo Ha was mentioned in the office.”
“You talked about Yoon Seo Ha too?”
“When I saw the name Yoon Seo Ha written on the bottom of a shoe, I asked who it was.”
“And then?”
“She said she didn’t know. She said it was the name of the person who went to buy the shoes. Isn’t that funny? Those shoes were limited edition, so only she could buy them. The craftsman measured her size directly, made the shoes, and engraved her name on the sole, but she insisted they were hers.”
“She’s been marked since then.”
“Maybe.”
Although she didn’t want to admit it, Seo Ha felt comfortable spending time with Kyung Joon.
The Chinese food Seo Ha knew was the kind meticulously savored at a reservationonly restaurant run by a Michelin chef. She wouldn’t even glance at the carbohydrateladen Jjajangmyeon.
“This place is delicious. I think it’s even better than the one we ate at last time.”
The dish Kyung Joon ordered for Seo Ha was precisely Jjajangmyeon.
“But isn’t the sweet and sour pork better at the previous place?”
“I’m not sure. Secretary Ryu poured the sauce over it.”
Haeseon watched the two bicker yet eat nonstop, and smiled.
“You two get along so well. How long have you been married?”
Seo Ha and Kyung Joon stopped eating simultaneously and looked at each other with contempt.
“Mom, I’m not getting married. Especially not with him, never.”
“Who said I would?”
“Yes, next is Troy’s wooden horse.”
“Okay, next is design Lupin.”
Being with Kyung Joon made even childish and embarrassing verbal fights possible.
“I’m full.”
Kyung Joon put down his empty Jjajangmyeon bowl and wiped his mouth.
“Now let’s talk. You think Lee Ji Soo is going to interfere with the product review?”
“I know their tactics well. They’re probably planning to lobby the managers, employees, and MDs who are sending out invitations. It’s not really lobbying but threatening. They’ll say if you choose mine, there will be disadvantages from the head office.”
Seo Ha took Haeseon’s empty bowl, placed it on top of the bowl Kyung Joon had left, and gathered the remaining food waste. She was faithfully following Kyung Joon’s words, “I’ll pay for the meal, so you clean up, Seo Ha.”
“Seo Ha can grill and boil Lee Seung Oh. The last time I saw it, her flirting skill wasn’t ordinary.”
Although she didn’t want to admit it, Seo Ha felt comfortable spending time with Kyung Joon.
The Chinese food Seo Ha knew was the kind meticulously savored at a reservationonly restaurant run by a Michelin chef. She wouldn’t even glance at the carbohydrateladen Jjajangmyeon.

“Seo Ha should just charm Lee Seung Oh. Last time I saw, her flirting skills were extraordinary.”
Kyung Joon teased. Just as Seo Ha was about to retort, Haeseon opened her mouth.
“No, Seo Ha. Don’t marry Seung Oh.”

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…?
