Ah, it was because he didn’t praise me. Now she understood why he wrinkled his face. A belated compliment on her boss’s coordination would be her mistake, so she decided to accept it.
The two wrestled for the driver’s seat.
“I’ll drive.”
The one who wanted to drive.
“Put on pants if you want to.”
It was a tense standoff between the one offering to drive and the one fiercely against it.
In the end, Taehong was the winner, and logically, wearing a mermaid dress, Hae-jin decided to sit in the passenger seat.
As she sat in the passenger seat, worries and thoughts poured in all at once. Thinking step by step, it was strange that Seyoung appeared in the lounge.
Even if she was attending the anniversary party, it wouldn’t make sense for her to stay at the hotel as we did for a business trip. Besides, Seyoung didn’t even participate in practical work. Upon reflection, this wasn’t the only odd thing. Even when they met in the lounge, her interest was solely on Taehong, and she seemed to know him in advance.
In the current situation, it was evident that the stage was already set.
Moon Taehong and Jo Seyoung didn’t match. Even objectively, Taehong seemed wasted on her. How would it feel to see Jo Seyoung and Moon Taehong together? Not good.
Knowing that Taehong’s feelings were directed towards her, could she decide to accept them while not being sure and tell Seyoung to go away?
How could she manage this?
**
The anniversary party was splendid and grand. There were many attendees. If it were Haejin’s first party, the atmosphere would have been greatly subdued.
Fortunately, since it wasn’t Haejin’s first time, she could act naturally beside Taehong.
“Do you know everyone here, Team Leader?”
Standing close to Taehong, Haejin cautiously looked around.
“I know about half of them. If you get to know Assistant Jeong’s face, it won’t be a bad thing.”
Haejin nodded her head, holding the clutch bag more firmly.
“Don’t wander off, stay close to me.”
Taehong slightly lowered his waist, making eye contact with Haejin and narrowed his eyes. How could someone like him raise Seyoung in his mouth?
Haejin looked up at Taehong.
“Team leader.”
But she had to speak. Since Seyoung was sure to attend here, she had deliberately come, and she was sure to light up and find her.
“I have to meet someone important today.”
Haejin barely spoke, trying to make herself heard over the passing people. Taehong listened to her words while making eye contact.
“That, I mean, the one we met back then.”
She had to talk about Jo Seyoung from Hamim Group, but a strangely loud sound of high heels came from behind them. Haejin unconsciously turned around, and Taehong followed suit.
“Oh, Taehong.”
In a red dress, Seyoung appeared.
In a world-class bright red dress, voluminous wavy hairstyle, and added accessories, she concentrated the attention of those around her to the point where some might think it was a post-wedding party.
Although expected, Haejin’s words were cut off by Seyoung’s impressive entrance.
“Nice to see you again here.”
Seeming to have forgotten about the past embarrassment, Seyoung was even more excited this time. Ignoring her greetings, Taehong slightly bowed to Haejin.
“Assistant Jeong, what was it you were going to say earlier?”
“Oh, right.”
Although she quickly turned her head, thinking about what to say, it became unnecessary.
“Didn’t you receive a call from the chairman?”
Only when the title “Chairman” was mentioned did Taehong’s gaze turn towards Seyoung. As Taehong’s attention shifted to Seyoung, she began to prattle on, seemingly thrilled.
“He arranged for us to meet today, didn’t you know?”
Was the chairman’s intention to pursue a natural meeting? How arrogant can it be to openly say that?
Thanks to Seyoung babbling without restraint, Haejin no longer needed to speak. Of course, she couldn’t even look straight at Taehong’s now cold face.
“A meeting, between who and who?”
“Between Mr. Taehong and me.”
This kid, really lacks awareness. It’s almost like a talent to be able to talk cheerfully even after seeing Taehong’s expression.
“Between you and me?”
When Taehong asks again, Seyoung probably won’t realize that it’s an opportunity to speak properly.
“Well.”
Taehong, with his arms crossed, scrutinized Seyoung from top to bottom. Haejin stood silently by his side like a mouse.
“A woman who doesn’t even know the basics, where is she trying to stand out?”
Seyoung’s face, filled with anticipation, turned the same color as her red dress.
“Errors in clothing, errors in hair, errors in accessories.”
His extended fingers checked them one by one in the air.
“Errors in manners, errors in basic knowledge.”
Finally, Taehong’s finger pointed from head to toe. Overall, it meant that Seyoung was all error.
“With nothing that suits, what qualification do you have to arrange a meeting?”
Seyoung’s body seemed to shiver. The dress code was black, but she, who wore red alone, stood out anywhere.
So, her self-esteem was deeply hurt, and shaking her whole body in a situation where she stood out too well in the eyes of people.
“If you’re embarrassed, go back and convey it to the arranger. Don’t do unnecessary things.”
Seyoung bit her bright red lips even harder, turned her body, and disappeared without even having a private conversation with Taehong.
“Assistant Jeong, what were you going to say earlier?”
Ah, that’s right. I wondered if there was a need to say it since she had already disappeared.
“No, nothing.”
Taehong greeted the approaching people again. He neatly organized the part he had been contemplating throughout the visit.
He even left a stern warning to the arranger.
He has a clear judgment, so why can’t he make a single emotional decision?
Can he really just hope that a woman like Seyoung will stand next to Taehong?
She stared intently at Taehong, who was talking to people. With his shoulders squared and an appropriate wit that made people feel good, he was a man with nothing to criticize.
Wouldn’t it be better for her to have what Seyoung has, rather than hoping for someone like Seyoung to stand next to Taehong?
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…?
