“Why are you doing this all of a sudden…….”
A flustered Su-yeon hurriedly averted her gaze.
Then, a chuckling sound poured down from above her head.
Only then did she realize that his previous words were just an extension of his playful teasing.
“Are you going to keep teasing me like this?”
“When did I?”
“You’re deliberately being more mischievous to see my reaction, don’t you think I know that?”
“Did you realize?”
“I’m observant enough for that.”
“But why don’t you understand.”
“What don’t I understand?”
“That I’m really trying my best to hold back wasn’t a joke.”
“Stop it. I know it’s all a joke……!”
Su-yeon, who had been firmly chastising him, suddenly clammed up.
While still trapped in In-ho’s embrace and taking a step forward, their bodies unintentionally touched and then parted.
For a moment, she distinctly felt the heat emanating from In-ho.
She knew what that meant.
In-ho, keenly observing her reaction, couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“Why are you so openly startled? It’s not the first time you’ve felt it.”
“……This is a public place. There are a lot of eyes watching.”
Su-yeon whispered in a voice that seemed to be shrinking.
She had completely lost her previous assertiveness.
In-ho couldn’t hide his smile at all.
How could she look so adorable?
The desire he had been barely restraining felt like it was surging without end.
He took a deep breath.
It was getting harder and harder to hold back. But he had to, as Su-yeon said, it was a public place.
“Do we still have a lot to buy?”
“Of course. We’ve only bought this one thing so far.”
Su-yeon pointed to the eel tempura in the cart.
In-ho, gazing at the item, rested his chin on Su-yeon’s head again and sighed softly.
“Why are you sighing?”
“I want to go home.”
“……We’ve only bought this, remember?”
“Yeah. But I still want to go home. I don’t think I’m that hungry actually.”
“How can that be? It’s almost noon and all we’ve eaten is the eel tempura at the tasting corner.”
“Yeah. But I feel hungry for something else, so I can’t really tell if I’m hungry or not.”
Su-yeon’s eyes widened at his unblinking continuation of mischievous words.
Thankfully she wasn’t facing In-ho; otherwise, he surely would have teased her for a long time seeing her expression.
Su-yeon, with a face that didn’t match her flushed cheeks, spoke demurely.
“Just hold on. We’re adults. We should choose the time and place.”
“Right. Like you said, we’re adults.”
The same words, but their meanings seemed worlds apart.
Su-yeon fanned herself unnecessarily.
Feeling her movements, In-ho’s lips curved into a wide smile.
She was too adorable.
He wondered why he hadn’t noticed it this much before.
In-ho’s steps gradually slowed down.
[Time Divider]“In-ho.”
On the way to the elevator connected to the parking lot, Su-yeon called out to In-ho as if in trouble.
“Match your steps with mine. We keep… touching.”
Their bodies would press closely together with even a slight misalignment in their steps.
After circling the food court and checking out, more than an hour seemed to have passed, yet the heat from his body showed no sign of cooling.
“Maybe it’s because my legs are long. I’m trying.”
A voice devoid of sincerity poured down from above.
Su-yeon pouted her lips in displeasure.
Whenever she said she wanted to go home quickly, In-ho acted like a contrary child throughout the shopping.
If she asked him to walk faster, he slowed down more, and when she pointed out their misaligned steps like now, he pretended it was a mistake and pressed his leg closer.
It was nothing short of childish and mischievous.
“You’re really awful.”
Su-yeon muttered as if talking to herself. In-ho, who seemed to have a sixth sense for catching her words, chuckled quietly.
“Are you talking about me?”
“What?”
“Saying I’m awful.”
“Always having such sharp ears…”
Knowing exactly who she was referring to, yet asking anyway, In-ho’s teasing made Su-yeon grumble continuously.
Even while waiting for the elevator, Su-yeon’s complaints continued.
Each time, In-ho joined in with an annoyingly playful voice.
Feeling exasperated, Su-yeon puffed up her cheeks.
Glancing at the elevator panel, she realized they had already descended to the first floor.
The elevator would arrive soon.
A sudden idea struck Su-yeon, and she quickly scanned her surroundings.
There were a few people waiting for the elevator, but they were all standing in front of different ones.
Having been on the receiving end until now, Su-yeon felt the perfect opportunity to get back at In-ho had arrived.
She waited just for the elevator doors to open.
As soon as they did, she forcefully pushed In-ho with her hips and hurriedly pushed the cart in.
A faint groan came from behind her.
It felt exhilarating to play such a trivial prank.
Su-yeon, smiling brightly, boarded the elevator and glanced back at In-ho.
She hadn’t anticipated at all that there would be someone inside the elevator.
“Ah.”
A heavy groan and the sensation of something hitting the cart reached her.
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…?
