“Ah, sir! Doesn’t this person look a lot like Nam Yujin? It’s so fascinating that I just…”
The grip that seemed unbreakable from the man’s arm was abruptly released by a crisp action from the man behind Yuin.
The expression of the intoxicated man, who was laughing unpleasantly without focus, suddenly hardened.
With a barely concealed annoyance, the man watching the drunken situation spoke impassively.
“What are you grabbing onto?”
“Eh? No, I just wanted to talk for a moment, but she was running away.”
“In today’s world, if you forcibly hold someone who is trying to escape, even if they don’t like it, you could end up with the police. You should know that.”
Caught unexpectedly in the middle of this, Yuin couldn’t hide her bewilderment as she watched the two men effortlessly continue their conversation.
The sudden appearance of the man and his familiar handling of the drunkard were baffling. How did she end up caught between them in this lightning-fast coincidence?
While Yuin was still trying to gather her thoughts, the man’s gaze drifted to her reddened wrist, then he slightly furrowed his brow.
Then a sharp low tone flowed from his smooth lips.
“The director inside is looking for you. You should go see him.”
“Me? Now? Oh, then I’ll just go to the restroom first [dash].”
“No. He asked for you immediately. You seem quite drunk, it would be better to go quickly.”
“Oh, okay, I understand… then.”
The command-like firmness made the inebriated man freeze in place and respond.
Before leaving, he glanced at Yuin, who was stuck to the tall man, murmured an apology, and staggered away.
Only when the echo of his footsteps faded did a sigh of frustration escape from Yuin, who had been tightly wrapped in tension.
Feeling the strength drain from her, she staggered slightly but was firmly supported by the man behind her, managing to keep her balance.
“Yuin, are you okay?”
“…”
“Yuin?”
“…That’s informal.”
When she belatedly complained, a faint smile appeared on the man’s face.
“Yuin always seems to be in trouble when I see her. Why is that?”
Yuin wanted to ask him the same thing. Why did he always appear out of nowhere, resolving her problems? Why did he suddenly emerge and stir up memories she thought she had buried?
However, as her parched mouth failed to respond in time, the man looked at her as if he knew all her thoughts, smiling faintly.
His black eyes gently brushed her face, then slid down her thin shoulders to her wrist.
“How’s your wrist? It looks quite swollen.”
“…It’s okay.”
“Do you need to go to the hospital?”
“It’s not that serious.”
“Really?”
The man spoke as if they were old acquaintances, and Yuin got entangled in the conversation before she knew it. His large hand supporting her from falling and the warmth from his body felt too natural, leaving no room for discomfort.
Perhaps that’s why Yuin felt her agitated mind gradually calming down, and strangely, she was finding comfort in his presence.
Realizing this uncomfortable truth, Yuin started to wriggle out of his embrace.
“Yes. So now, please let go of me.”
However, instead of loosening his grip on her shoulder, the man held her tighter and tilted his head towards her.
“Are you really okay? Your face is completely pale.”
Yuin nodded slightly. Despite her response, the man’s frown deepened as he moved closer, leaving Yuin with no option but to retreat into his embrace.
Caught in a dilemma, Yuin was scrutinized by the man, who then suddenly suggested.
“Let’s go together for a moment.”
“What? Where to, right now?”
Ignoring her response, the man gently pushed Yuin from behind and started walking. Her sneakers dragged on the floor, but he didn’t seem to care and soon opened a door distinct from the ordinary rooms.
Upon entering, Yuin found herself in a neatly decorated waiting room, not a dining area, and had no choice but to follow.
“Wait a minute! Where is this… What place is this?”
“Sit down.”
The man carelessly placed Yuin on a chair, pressing her shoulder to prevent her from standing.
“Your face looks like you’re about to collapse, so sit down and calm down.”
“I can handle that myself. You don’t need to do this much.”
“What are you talking about? Since I saved you, I have to take responsibility.”
The man, leaning over her and pressing her shoulder, blocked her with his handsome face, just like before.
Seeing his determined eyebrows twitch upwards, Yuin eventually relaxed and leaned back into the chair.
She was too shocked and stiff to walk properly, which was true.
Although she was somewhat irritated by being in the same space with this man who had suddenly reappeared, it seemed okay for a moment. A strange belief had formed that he wasn’t someone who would harm her like the previous man.
And the thought of returning to her sister in this state made her shudder, imagining her sister, forgetting who she was, getting excited and causing a scene over the man who had put her in this situation.
“Do you need anything?”
The man asked nonchalantly while fiddling with her phone.
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…?
