Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 060
“Now you can look. Everything’s covered.”
I clutched the bedsheet tightly, feeling embarrassed even as I spoke. The more awkward I acted at a moment like this, the more uncomfortable the atmosphere would become.
Yezar lowered the hand that had been shielding his face and met my gaze. He seemed just as flustered, his posture stiff with unease.
There was no helping it. Standing around like this wouldn’t solve anything. I tried my best to shift the topic.
“…Now that Yezar has arrived, I think it’s fine to clear away what the maids prepared. Would you help me remove the rose petals scattered on the bedsheet?”
First, I needed to restore the room—this increasingly awkward space—back to normal. He nodded and stepped closer to me. Then, as he moved, something seemed to catch under his foot. He looked down. It was the scrap of cloth I had carefully tucked into the corner. He picked it up without hesitation.
“My lady, what is this?”
‘I hid it so well. Why did Yezar have to find that of all things…!’
At this point, I gave up and answered with resignation.
“It’s a scrap of cloth the maids gave me to wear. As you can see, it doesn’t function properly as clothing.”
On our wedding night, I’d worn a sheer slip, but even that wasn’t this bad. The piece they’d given me had an opening down the back so wide it left almost nothing to the imagination.
Yezar said, sounding genuinely surprised:
“This was supposed to be clothing?”
To his eyes, it probably looked like a rag fit only for a dog to wear.
“Technically, it’s a slip. But since it’s completely see-through and cut so low in the back, I couldn’t possibly wear it. So I rummaged around and found this robe to put on instead.”
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…?
