Nam Ho Jin insisted, “But why meet only with the daughter when her secretary and mother are also there? Doesn’t it seem suspicious?”
As they pondered his point, they returned to their covert viewing.
Professor Tae Hyuk was sitting with his legs crossed, turned away, almost ignoring the woman who was intently speaking to him.
“That girl is the heiress of L Department Store.”
“Wow, if Tae Hyuk marries her, he’ll be a son-in-law of a wealthy family. Even Tae Hyuk can’t resist the lure of money.”
“Imagine how much more imposing he’ll be if he becomes a wealthy son-in-law. I can see our gloomy future in that perfect-looking couple.”
While the residents gossiped about their professor’s private life, suddenly, someone boldly approached Tae Hyuk and the department store heiress.
Everyone was alarmed.
“Mun Na Young! Don’t go!”
“Come back now!”
“You’re going to die if you go to Tae Hyuk now!”
Despite their warnings, Na Young, unperturbed, walked confidently towards the cafeteria.
Tae Hyuk, who never lived submissively, was in a particularly dreadful situation.
He had to comply with the unreasonable demands of this rebellious woman, Lee Ju Ah.
As he remained tight-lipped, Ju Ah commented, “Smile a little. Coffee tastes worse with such a grim face.”
He found her suggestion laughable. He wasn’t a clown for her amusement.
Her words only intensified his rebellious spirit, which could explode at any moment.
He needed to find her weakness urgently. With her arrogant and domineering attitude, there had to be something in her past.
Though the club visit didn’t yield results, he hoped Hong Sik’s investigation at her university would bring good news.
“Just drink your coffee. That’s all I can manage,” Tae Hyuk grumbled, not even glancing at her, observing the people around.
Ju Ah, fixated on Tae Hyuk’s handsome profile, rested her chin on her hand with a contented look.
“I’ve met many men, you know,” she began.
Tae Hyuk found her assertion laughable, thinking she was too young to make such claims.
“Even prickly men like you eventually soften in the face of money.”
Tae Hyuk found her conclusion pitifully misguided.
“The thing I hate most is money.”
“Liar,” she retorted.
For the first time, Tae Hyuk felt an urge to call his grandfather.
But before he could make such a foolish move, an unexpected person appeared.
Tae Hyuk spotted Na Young approaching, immediately uncrossed his legs, and sat up straight.
Lee Ju Ah clearly remembered Na Young and looked at her with amusement as she approached.
Na Young stopped in front of the pair and greeted Ju Ah first, “Hello. We meet again.”
Ju Ah waved her hand leisurely, smiling, “Indeed. I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Tae Hyuk watched the two women exchanging greetings with uneasy eyes. He felt an unfamiliar, icy fear gripping him.
“It’s still my working hours, so I need to take Professor Choi Tae Hyuk with me now,” Na Young declared.
Ju Ah objected, “But Professor Choi promised to have coffee with me. Right?” She looked at Tae Hyuk for agreement.
Her gaze implied that if he refused, he’d have to deal with the consequences himself.
Tae Hyuk’s mind became clouded. He had been tolerating Ju Ah’s whims for Na Young’s sake, but now Na Young herself was turning the situation upside down. He was unsure how to handle it.
As he hesitated, looking at Na Young, she met his eyes squarely and stated firmly, “Come with me.”
Tae Hyuk’s eyes sparkled unexpectedly. He had assumed she would choose to quell the rumors. In the worst case, he thought she might even end things with him to avoid the scandal. But, she chose him over protecting herself from the rumors.
With a rustle, Tae Hyuk stood up before Na Young. Their physical distance remained the same, but their gazes revealed a closeness that hadn’t been there before.
Ju Ah, watching them with a disdainful look, warned, “If you two go like this, I won’t stay quiet.”
However, both of them ignored Ju Ah and walked ahead.
Tae Hyuk whispered to her, “In a fairy tale, you’d be the one who saved the prince from the witch.”
Na Young immediately countered, “I came to catch a professor slacking off from a resident’s perspective.”
Regardless of the context, in that moment, Tae Hyuk felt blissfully happy, more than ever before.
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…?
