“So it’s better to get lost now before you’re labeled as a suspicious person.”
“Hey! Do you even know who this person is!”
Number 5 snapped at the disrespectful attitude of the head of security, but I quickly intervened to stop him.
It wouldn’t be good if rumors spread that I used force to release the Cressia back alley organization in the Duke’s estate. For the reputation of the Duke’s estate, and for the Madeleine Pa, who would suddenly attract public attention.
Even Cressia’s King showed consideration and quietly dealt with the matter. Now, it was too late to ruin everything.
“Haha. I’m hungry. Let’s go eat lunch.”
I dragged Number 5 to a fancy restaurant in the city.
Seeing the extravagant exterior for the first time, Number 5’s eyes widened.
“Are we allowed to come to a place like this?”
As if sensing something, Number 5 whispered in my ear. I lightly tapped Number 5’s back and, shoulder to shoulder, pulled him firmly to match my height.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. What does it matter to us?”
I shrugged.
“If we want to do business here, they can’t not know the name Ant. Considering how much money I’ve spent.”
The drowsy Number 5 coughed.
“Well, Lord Ant, you’re originally a noble.”
“Exactly. Exactly. I deliberately wore an old hood, so might as well make good use of it.”
I walked confidently towards the entrance of the restaurant.
However, Number 5 still seemed scared, lingering behind.
“Trust Lord Ant,” I said.
I firmly grabbed Number 5’s hand and dragged him along.
Then, using the magical bundle in my pocket, I infused magic and created the deep voice of Ant, confidently demanding at the waiter standing at the entrance.
“Table for two.”
The waiter glanced up and down at us, then pretended not to see us.
I furrowed my brows. This was unexpected.
“Hey, are you ignoring the guests?”
But the waiter continued to act as if he were looking at a distant mountain.
“Oh, really. I was trying not to say this. Do you know who I am?”
I balled my fist and pulled the hood down deeper.
“Do you know who I am?”
“Huh.”
Only then did the waiter react. Muttering to himself, he spoke as if whispering.
“He’s still the boss of the organization, you know.”
“What?!”
As I exclaimed, the waiter covered his ears.
“Right. There’s a rumor going around that the whole Madeleine Pa was caught not long ago. But the boss managed to slip away.”
The waiter glanced at me.
“Those Madeleine Pa guys… They were quite decent fellows who even rescued my cat.”
I gaped in amazement.
“Wh-who slipped away alone!”
Although I tried to protest, the waiter just shook his hands back and forth.
“There’s no place for conscienceless traitors here, so please leave now.”
Number 5 also pulled my hand.
“Lord Ant, let’s go now.”
At that moment, someone smoothly inserted themselves between Number 5 and me. In an instant, I let go of Number 5’s hand.
“Who are you?!”
Looking up at the person who had annoyingly intervened, it was a familiar face.
“Table for three.”
It was Kirian.
The waiter stared blankly at Kirian for a moment, then immediately led us inside.
“This way.”
“Wait, hold on!”
I finally exploded.
“Are you discriminating against people now?”
I pointed at Kirian, who was wearing casual clothes. It was clearly not noble attire.
The waiter blinked.
“Discrimination? No, he definitely looks like a high-ranking noble.”
The waiter politely pointed at Kirian. More precisely, at Kirian’s face.
“Me?! Me?! Can’t you feel the born noble atmosphere?”
Although I almost explosively took off my hood due to the injustice, I refrained, as it wouldn’t be much help anyway.
However, no matter how much I protested, the waiter just looked at me with an indifferent gaze.
At that moment, a large hand gently enveloped mine.
“Feel it.”
A voice with a smirk in a mid-low tone.
“Since you feel it, let’s go inside.”
“Why are you here?”
I asked a bit bluntly.
In the window seat guided by the waiter, there were only the two of us.
For some reason, 5, who was about to sit next to me, suddenly stood up, raising an excuse, asking the waiter to guide him to another table.
Since then, I checked the scent of my hood several times. Eliza had washed it well, so it only smelled good.
Instead of touching the food, Kirian played with the rim of the glass with one finger.
“I can’t let Nuna go alone.”
I pointed at Number 5 sitting far away in the corner, on the opposite side of the restaurant.
“So, I came with him.”
When Kirian narrowed his eyes slightly, a loud cough was heard from far away.
Just as I was about to turn around to see what was happening, he continued.
“So, I came too.”
Kirian gently held my chin and smiled prettily.
As his thumb lightly brushed past my lower lip, the thin skin of my lips tingled as if it were being burned.
I was surprised for a moment, but Kirian only spoke in a calm voice.
“I didn’t ask about that.”
“Oh, um. Thanks.”
To get rid of the tingling sensation, I tried rubbing my lips with the back of my hand several times, but it was useless.
After that, for some reason, I couldn’t eat comfortably. Kirian’s gaze, watching me, bothered me, and I could only mumble without eating properly.
On the table were various dishes of my favorite foods, making me feel even more miserable. Although I managed to taste the dishes that could be cut into small pieces with a fork and knife, the ones that couldn’t be eaten were truly a torment.
I looked at the various kinds of canapés displayed with a burning heart. Especially the caviar canapé. It must melt gently in the mouth, right?
“I’ll be back in a moment.”
In the end, I stood up. And taking advantage of the moment when Kirian turned his gaze out the window, I quickly ran to the table where Number 5 was.
“Let’s eat a few caviar canapés. I’ll order more later.”
Pushing Number 5 away, Kirian started to eat the food he couldn’t eat before.
“Yikes!”
As Number 5 was shocked, I hugged his shoulders.
“Sorry. I can’t help it either. I can’t cut the canapé with a knife.”
But Number 5’s shocked expression still didn’t disappear, and eventually, with my other hand, I forcibly stuffed a canapé into his mouth.
“Come on, if you feel unfair, have one too.”
At that moment, someone lightly pulled my hand.
“Nuna, what are you doing here?”
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…?
