Arianthe, clenching her fists, shouted loudly. At that moment, Lucien and Sisi, who were making discontented expressions, did not remain silent. The two, with eyes wide open, seemed ready to confront Arianthe and a moment later, they flipped the table as if they were about to start a real fight.
In the moment when Meiana tried to intervene among the children, it seemed like Cedelloy noticed the disturbance and stood up from his seat. Meiana nodded as if she was fine and quietly spoke while holding Arianthe’s hand.
“Lady, I’m okay. Please don’t get angry. We can have fun playing together, and if we fight, it will only hurt our feelings.”
Arianthe turned around abruptly, giving Meiana a look as if asking why she wasn’t getting angry.
Smiling gently, Meiana caressed Arianthe’s smooth cheek.
“Don’t worry, and promise me. You won’t go too far and hide. Okay? It’s just playing here with Vainty, Bridget, and Ibby watching over. We’ll only play in this area.”
“Okay.”
At that moment, Sailerus, who was standing behind Arianthe, approached Meiana.
“Since I’m older than Valternminster, I’ll make sure you don’t go too far. Don’t worry.”
Meiana’s eyes widened a bit. Did such a well-mannered little boy exist? That’s what she thought.
It was difficult for a ten-year-old to have such a character through education alone. Was he born as a ‘good older brother’? Meiana pondered.
“Thank you, young lord. Then I’ll leave it to you.”
As Meiana stood up, the children rushed towards the garden as if it were a signal. Sisi stood still, pouting until the end, but seeing Sailerus running ahead, she couldn’t help but follow.
Arianthe, the hostess of the party, became the first seeker. Standing under a large oak tree, Arianthe covered her eyes and counted to thirty. During this time, the children scattered, hiding their bodies here and there. Some were exceptionally good at hiding, but most seemed unfamiliar with the game of hide and seek.
Vainty said, “It would be nice if one of those arrogant little ones became the seeker. They might cry and beg us because they can’t find the lady.”
Then Meiana looked at Vainty with a bewildered expression and smiled.
“Why do you hold a grudge against the children?”
“That’s how those little ones talk. Ugh, how do you even educate them at home?”
Bridget tilted her head and said, “Come to think of it, it’s quite interesting. I used to think the same every time I saw Vainty in the past, but these days, it’s not like that at all.”
“What’s so interesting!”
Meiana opened her eyes wide in amazement.
“Keep it down. What if they hear you from over there?”
Ibby, standing silently like a statue in the midst of all this, spoke the moment Arianthe finished counting.
“About five will be caught within 3 seconds.”
Her prediction was accurate. Arianthe found five children who were awkwardly hiding nearby even before taking ten steps. Lucien and Sisi were among them, and Lucien, who had been casually participating, was expressing his displeasure excessively compared to the others.
“Chrony, I found you!”
Arianthe’s cheerful voice echoed through the garden. Chrony skillfully hid in the bushes, utilizing his small size, but he got caught because of the red ribbon.
“I found Sailerus too!”
The last to be found was Sailerus. Indifferent to the state of his clothes, he lay down under the fountain as if it didn’t matter. However, he couldn’t help but get caught when Arianthe passed by, unable to suppress his laughter.
“Now the seeker changes, right?”
Arianthe nodded at Chrony’s words.
“The person who got caught first becomes the seeker. Who was caught first?”
Then all the children looked at Lucien. Lucien, who grumbled with dissatisfaction, rolled his eyes and approached the oak tree. Sailerus teasingly shouted,
“You have to count up to thirty, Lucien! Don’t skip any numbers!”
“Do you think I’m stupid, Sailerus!”
Turning around with a huff, Lucien almost hit his forehead on the tree. The children covered their mouths and giggled as they scattered. After playing once, it seemed like they had become more adept at finding hiding spots than before.
Arianthe ran alongside Sailerus. Arianthe ran well, but Sailerus was no slouch either. Matching their strides, Sailerus said,
“We shouldn’t go too far.”
“I know! Meiana is still visible. It’s okay!”
Arianthe shook her hands in place, hopping up and down. When Sailerus turned around, he saw Meiana waving her hand too.
“Where are you trying to hide?”
“Shh! No one knows about this place yet. Try hiding here. Come this way.”
A small hand wiggled behind a pillar. Sailerus obediently followed Arianthe to the back, and suddenly burst into laughter with wide-open eyes.
“What is this? Why is there a hole in this place?”
There was a large hole under the pillar, used for decoration. It wasn’t very big, but it seemed sufficient for two children to crouch and hide.
“I don’t know why there’s a hole. But if you look up from here, see? The sky looks round.”
Arianthe, crouching, pointed upwards. Sailerus also looked up at the sky.
“Indeed.”
Sailerus replied. The perfectly round and unwarped blue circle above the children’s heads seemed to smile at them.
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…?
