Having left the office and gotten into the car with Song Kang, Line couldn’t choose where to eat. It wasn’t that she was picky about food; she seemed to lack any affection for eating.
“What shall we eat?”
This was a dilemma and a question Song Kang had never faced, even during his dating days. Line answered without a second’s hesitation, suggesting they eat anything. Song Kang headed to a nearby seafood restaurant.
The restaurant had a quiet atmosphere, suitable for spending time together. Song Kang ordered the dinner course with the most items, hoping Line would like at least one of them.
Line picked up a spoon and started with a pudding-like egg custard. She continued to view the documents Ha In had sent on her phone even while eating.
Song Kang couldn’t tell if she was checking missed messages or working, so he refrained from commenting.
“Is Korean University Law School really that hard to get into?”
Line put down her phone at Song Kang’s question. She also set aside her spoon and drank some water. The egg custard, served in a teacup-like bowl, seemed to be the entirety of her meal.
“Do the dishes not suit your taste?”
It was impossible to know if she liked the food or not, as she hadn’t really eaten any.
“No, I don’t like seafood.”
“Why didn’t you say that before we came in?”
“The egg custard here is good.”
Her concept of food was definitely different.
“You don’t usually keep instant noodles in the pantry, did you buy them yourself?”
“Yes.”
The fact that she went to a convenience store to buy them, only to forget about them after pouring water, was frustrating.
“Everything in the refrigerator, like salads and bread, was untouched. Didn’t you like anything?”
“No, I don’t like greens.”
Her referring to salads as ‘greens’ showed it wasn’t her preference. But at least she liked black olives and eggs in certain forms.
“Then I’ll fill the fridge with black olives and eggs tomorrow. Please don’t skip meals.”
Line just coughed in response.
“Why don’t you answer?”
“I only eat black olives in pizza and eggs if they’re made like pudding or sunny-side up.”
She was conscious of her pickiness, and Song Kang barely held back his laughter.
“Any other particular foods you like?”
Line thought for a moment.
“I like asparagus grilled with beef. And the one thing I don’t pick is beer.”
“Oh, you don’t pick when it comes to alcohol?”
“No, I can only drink beer.”
Song Kang found the conversation unusual but not unpleasant. However, Line’s voice was increasingly hoarse.
“I’ll take note of that for the fridge. Unfortunately, since you need to take your medicine today, no alcohol.”
He handed her the medicine bag and ordered warm water.
Line realized why he insisted on dinner. It was to make her take her cold medicine. She usually avoided it due to drowsiness, but she couldn’t refuse after being cared for so thoroughly. Song Kang was incredibly meticulous.
“Were you avoiding medicine to prevent drowsiness while working?”
It was as if he read her thoughts. Line tried not to show her surprise, opening the medicine bag and pouring out the pills.
Her throat was so sore it hurt to swallow the pills. Song Kang guessed her condition from her grimace.
“It’s okay to take a day or two off when you’re sick,” Song Kang said.
Line, looking at him, turned her gaze away, feeling her emotions might be stirred by his words.
“How can I rest when Taesung’s Legal Department Head is fighting so hard?” she asked.
“He’s a terrible person, that Legal Department Head. I’ll keep that in mind. So, for today, you should go home and rest without a worry,” Song Kang assured her.
He made sure to see her home, not forgetting this thoughtful gesture. As they passed the prosecutor’s office building, he worried that it might stir her emotions again.
However, Line, perhaps due to the medication, had fallen asleep against the car window. It was a relief.
Arriving at Line’s home, Song Kang chose not to wake her but waited. Her deep sleep was short-lived, interrupted by a cough. Line, with half-open eyes, struggled to regain consciousness.
“Ah… I fell asleep. You should have woken me.”
“I didn’t think you’d sleep long. I was worried you’d get cold if you woke up and got out of the car,” he said.
“It’s fine. I’ll go now. Thank you.”
Blaming her flushed cheeks on the fever, Line hurried out of the car.
Song Kang didn’t leave until she had safely entered the building. Only then did he look away.
In her absence, Song Kang’s coat lay neatly where she had been. He reached for it, sensing her unique floral scent lingering on it.
Even after escorting her to her door, he wondered why he felt so concerned as he headed home.
Returning home, Line lay sprawled on her bed, her face flushed with fever. She was more exhausted from stress than just a cold.
Feeling somewhat better after eating something warm and taking medicine, her cough seemed to have eased a bit.
“Just a shot and they act like I’ll be all better…”
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…?
