Yuin pushed back the second gift, adamantly refusing it, but Gyeon blatantly ignored her protests. He persistently asked one question.
“So, do you like the bracelet?”
His persistence was unparalleled, even by his own standards.
It seemed particularly intense today. Whether it was tying a ribbon around her neck or suddenly purchasing a new phone, today’s interactions felt unusually demanding. While her body had relaxed, her mind felt overburdened.
“Is it that bad?”
“It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just…”
Gyeon was already slipping back into the vest he had taken off, buttoning it up. The vest fit perfectly across his broad shoulders and chest, complementing his tall stature, sharp features, and model-like figure. He was, in appearance, flawless.
Yet, his personality seemed a bit problematic. Not exactly as her sister had described, but from what she had seen so far, it appeared to be the case.
And now, he was holding that.
“Are you going to wear that?”
“Yeah. Why?”
Gyeon, now fully vested, was picking up the tie he had previously discarded.
Yuin’s thoughts were evident on her face, wondering why he would bother with the tie if he was about to leave. Gyeon caught her expression and chuckled mischievously.
“Answer me, Yuin.”
His laughter suggested he wouldn’t listen even if she protested. After all, he was the one who had admitted to enjoying teasing her.
Yuin turned her gaze away from what had once been a ribbon, now toying with the bracelet on her wrist.
“It feels a bit much to accept something so expensive. I honestly didn’t expect you to actually give it to me. I thought you were just joking while drinking.”
“Why would I joke about something useless?”
Gyeon, with a frown, began organizing the items, putting Yuin’s broken phone in the shopping bag with a noticeable toss.
“And why worry about whether it’s expensive? What are you going to do if it is?”
“How expensive is it?”
Yuin’s bag and other belongings were now in Gyeon’s hands as he paused at the office door.
“Yuin.”
His call was earnest, prompting her to look up quietly.
“I don’t want to hear how much it is or if it’s expensive.”
“…”
“I was looking forward to seeing Yuin smile while choosing that. Hearing only about the cost disappoints me, it feels off.”
Yuin felt a sting of guilt for not considering his feelings. He had thoughtfully selected the gift, and she hadn’t recognized his anticipation. He seemed more sensitive than she had expected.
Was it her imagination that his expression seemed hurt?
Her hand twitched, almost reaching to touch his stiffened cheek.
“Thank you, I like it, it suits me. Which one do you want to hear?”
Seemingly tired of waiting, Gyeon held out answer choices. Yuin, after a brief hesitation, smiled slightly and said,
“I like it.”
His eyes widened slightly at her response.
Yuin, hoping to dispel his unhappiness, repeated,
“I like it. I’ll wear it well.”
Gyeon’s face broke into a broad, gratified smile, revealing his dimples.
Yuin felt relieved to have lifted his mood, regretting not expressing her appreciation sooner.
As they exited the office, Kim, the secretary, popped up from somewhere and greeted them loudly, causing Yuin to jump in surprise again.
Gyeon merely tutted in annoyance, not responding to his secretary’s greeting.
The elevator ride down was more comfortable this time, devoid of other employees due to the end of working hours.
That’s when Yuin remembered why she had been there in the first place.
“Did you resolve your work issue well?”
Gyeon glanced sideways at her and faintly smiled.
“You’re quick to ask.”
“…I was suddenly dragged here, so I was quite distracted.”
Her genuine curiosity reflected her bewilderment at the unexpected visit.
Muttering under her breath, Yuin voiced her grievances about the day’s events. Suddenly, she felt something heavy gently placed on her head.
“Thanks to someone worrying so much about me.”
Gyeon playfully tapped her head and teased her in a manner that wasn’t at all unpleasant, to Yuin’s surprise.
Yuin responded with a glance upwards, finding it both odd and amusing.
Gyeon saw her reaction and cracked a smile again. Yuin thought he was strange too, but she didn’t say it out loud as his smile was charming.
“What shall we eat?”
As soon as they got into the car, Gyeon asked what she wanted to eat.
When Yuin timidly suggested ‘tteokbokki,’ Gyeon frowned as if he had heard something outrageous. Instead, he took her to a lavish Korean restaurant.
Seeing the overwhelming array of dishes, Yuin couldn’t help but remark, “Why did you even ask what I wanted if you were going to choose anyway?”
“Why would you want to eat something like that outside?” Gyeon retorted about her tteokbokki choice.
Yuin was baffled by his reaction, as she had never heard anyone call tteokbokki strange before.
His reaction was unexpected, but considering his usual haunts, actions, and attire, perhaps it wasn’t so surprising after all.
“You stay so slim because you eat things like that,” Gyeon remarked, sounding like an elder at a family gathering.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
