It seemed like he was hurt again by his own words. Davian’s eyebrows drooped. However, Diane was simply amazed at Davian’s reaction.
‘So, is the reason he tried to drop the snake just now because he was jealous of the snake?’ With a skeptical gaze, Diane also glanced at Clements. Seeing him avoiding eye contact, it seemed that my guess was correct.
‘Ugh, what should I do with these older brothers?’
Sighing deeply, Diane spoke.
“Of course, you two are more, more, more liked! How can I compare family with a pet… No, with an animal?”
“Is that really true?”
“Really?”
“Of course!”
When Diane spoke forcefully, Clements showed great relief. Davian, who had been slouching, instantly perked up.
“Got it? So, there’s no need for both of you to be jealous of the silver snake.”
“Yeah.”
“Yep.”
Diane held Clements’ left hand and Davian’s right hand.
“Let’s explore together!”
Diane visited a shop selling fragrant plants that she had seen before. The refreshing scent led her to the front of the store, where radiant radishes were on display.
“Brother, look at this. Yann explained it earlier; it’s a scent that helps with insomnia! He said it’s good to place it next to the bed when sleeping.”
“Oh, really? It’s a nice flower.”
“Yeah, isn’t it?”
“Well, it’s not something you need anyway, right? You fall asleep just by holding your head.”
“Well, it’s just fascinating!”
Clements immediately understood the meaning of Diane’s words. Ignoring clueless Davian, Clements bought it.
Seeing this, Diane praised Clements, saying, “Wow, Brother, you’re the best!” Davian frowned.
“Hey, if you want it, ask him to buy it for you.”
“I said it!”
“When!”
“I said the flower was really nice earlier!”
“What nonsense!”
While Davian and Diane bickered, a single red rose suddenly popped up beside Diane.
“Uh…”
“Yeah?”
“This, um, is a service.”
The boy from the flower shop, who had just sold the radishes, handed her the rose. Smiling warmly at the word “service,” Diane said, “Wow, thank you! The flower is so pretty.”
“Oh, well, um…”
“Diane, let’s go now.”
Clements naturally placed his hand on Diane’s shoulder and pulled her away. In an instant, the distance between the flower shop boy and Diane increased.
Glancing back, the flower shop boy met Clements’ gaze, and for a moment, he felt a shiver down his spine and swallowed nervously.
“Hey.”
Someone who slipped in between them was Davian.
“Don’t do unnecessary things.”
Faced with Davian’s threatening expression, the flower shop boy felt like he was dealing with a back-alley thug.
The difference was that back-alley thugs would avoid you like avoiding dog poop, but now it seemed like he had to avoid them to survive.
As the flower shop boy nervously muttered, Davian, satisfied, followed Clements and Diane.
Meanwhile, Diane, smelling the scent of the free rose she received as a service, walked ahead.
“Clements, that shop was really nice, right?”
“Yeah. Let’s never come again.”
“Hmm?”
With a somewhat odd remark, Diane raised a question mark and looked at Clements. A smile was hanging on his lips.
“I must have misheard, right?”
Although the latter part of his statement was a bit strange, the bustling street was too crowded, and Diane casually let it go.
[What’s that? Really?]Even the silver snake, overhearing their conversation, seemed curious, poking its head out from the bag.
“It seems like the snake is curious too.”
It happened when Diane held the rose near the silver snake’s nose. A child running between the crowd, darting here and there, couldn’t avoid the sudden appearance of Diane in front of them.
There was no collision between the child and Diane. Clements pulled Diane toward him, and Davian subtly redirected the child’s rushing direction with his magic.
However, there was one thing that Clements and Davian hadn’t noticed or didn’t care about, and that was the pet snake inside Diane’s bag.
Suddenly changing direction, the confused child inadvertently hit the snake’s head with the back of their hand. The snake, which had been still, opened its eyes wide when unexpectedly disturbed.
“Ahiko!”
Diane, witnessing the child stumbling in front of her, couldn’t just pass by. She reached out to the child.
“Are you okay? Can you get up?”
[Where are you wandering your eyes?]As if the snake would bite the child’s neck with its mouth wide open, the snake made a threatening sound. Caught off guard, Diane belatedly grabbed the snake and stepped back.
[Disgusting creature, dare to… Not even worthy of being stuck in my main body’s toenail…]“Thud! The snake is talking…”
The child, sitting on the ground, pointed at the snake while hiccuping. Seeing this, Diane, too, looked at the snake with astonished eyes.
She thought the voice of the deity from a moment ago would only be audible to her.
“Could it be this deity!”
“Wow, my baby! Are you okay?!”
A woman who appeared to be the child’s mother quickly hugged the child. Holding the child in her arms, pointing at Diane with one hand, she said,
“W, witch! A witch!”
“Hahaha! A truly friendly companion!”
“I do hear that often!”
In front of the main gate of Duke Crustel’s mansion, a carriage delivering messages stopped.
Montree, who was having a trivial conversation with the gatekeeper soldier, briefly shifted his gaze to the letters.
When letters arrive, it’s the soldier’s duty to deliver them inside the mansion. Montree, replacing the soldier with whom he was conversing, raised the tray holding the letters.
“Oh, I’ll take care of these!”
“Yeah, yeah. Please take care of them on your way!”
Having built a friendly relationship with the soldier guarding the gate these past few days, Montree had delivered the letters safely into the mansion yesterday and the day before.
So, now the soldier could entrust the letters to him without any suspicion.
Walking from the main gate to the mansion, Montree swiftly picked up a cleanly wrapped letter with a luxurious white envelope among the letters.
Confirming that there was no one around, he discreetly stashed it in his pocket.
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…?
