But Young Sun was no easy opponent.
Su Yeon was momentarily at a loss for words at the unexpected continuation of the conversation.
What should she respond with?
Should she say she’s here? What if she asks to switch? But if she says she’s not there, that would cause a commotion.
In a short span of time, Su Yeon tried her best to think.
She could confidently say that even during the lifeordeath college entrance exams, she never tried this hard.
Luckily, her naturally intelligent mind served its purpose well.
Su Yeon quickly moved her lips.
“I told her to come in. Myung Woo is there, too. I’m just hospitalized to rest, and I don’t want to bother her.”
She thought that this was enough to pass as something In Ho would say.
Fortunately, Young Sun seemed displeased, but she didn’t pry any further.
“It’s very early. I think you woke up because of me, so please sleep a little longer.”
Su Yeon ended the call with a polite goodbye.
She didn’t want to continue this uncomfortable conversation.
Fortunately, Young Sun didn’t contact her anymore after that.
So Su Yeon didn’t doubt that the situation was resolved with that.
But who would’ve thought she would face In Ho with such an unusual expression?
“……”
Su Yeon silently watched In Ho, stealing glances at him.
Despite the excuse she barely managed to deliver through the phone, In Ho didn’t respond.
She didn’t know if he was pretending not to hear or if he was so lost in thought that he didn’t hear at all.
Either way, it was certain that In Ho’s current state didn’t look so good.
Su Yeon bit her lower lip nervously.
She was worried about In Ho.
His expression was too dark.
It was as if he was facing a difficult problem.
Enduring and bearing with difficult situations was a very familiar task to Su Yeon.
So she was sure.
She knew what his pale face full of depth meant.
At this point, he was probably caught in the whirlpool of emotions he was facing for the first time in his life.
Without knowing how to get out of it, he was surely just being swallowed up.
Su Yeon let out a soft sigh.
From her past experiences, it was best not to think about anything in such situations.
If the whirlpool of emotions In Ho was dealing with was related to Young Sun, there was even less she could do.
It was a problem between Young Sun and him, and he had to solve it.
After much thought, Su Yeon cautiously moved her lips.
“Did you get a call from your mom?”
As soon as she finished speaking, In Ho’s eyes, which had become clear, found Su Yeon.
With that alone, Su Yeon was certain.
In the end, he must have seen it.
The cruel and coldhearted side of Young Sun, something he could never have imagined.
Su Yeon swallowed a sigh that had risen to her throat.
So that’s how it was. She was discovered when she didn’t want to be…
She never wanted him to know her pathetic state.
Heavy silence lingered.
After a long time, with a face full of confusion, In Ho cautiously asked.
“……From the beginning, was it like that?”
Su Yeon stared at In Ho from afar.
But she couldn’t answer him and ended up avoiding his gaze.
His gaze was unfamiliarly warm.
It made her throat burn again and again.
An indescribable emotion rushed over her, and she felt a small spark igniting at the back of her throat.
The small flame, crackling, made her mouth dry.
Su Yeon swallowed her dry spit.
She wanted to say.
It wasn’t like that. At first, she was definitely a warm motherinlaw like you knew.
Before the fact that she was adopted was revealed, she was certainly like that.
Many words she had not been able to tell him before welled up in her mouth.
But Su Yeon could not dare to tell Young Sun’s story.
Thinking about how pitifully In Ho might be looking at her now, she couldn’t say anything at all.
She had been revealed as an adopted child anyway, and if she said she was living a harsh life as a daughterinlaw without him knowing…
Su Yeon slowly blinked her eyes.
There was no separate heroine of sorrow in the drama.
All the misfortunes, the life without a quiet day, hit her all at once.
Wasn’t it a life that seemed to be only in dramas?
But just that much was the weight that Su Yeon had endured till now and would have to bear in the future.
So Su Yeon could not dare to answer.
Even if all the people in the world saw her pitifully, she wished only one person, In Ho, would not pity her.
Although they were tied together through a strategic marriage, he was the person who always made her heart flutter by eating together, drinking coffee, and going to bed.
Even though the relationship completely broke down after the fact that she was adopted was revealed, he was still the person deeply embedded in her heart.
That’s why she didn’t want to appear pitiful to Seo In Ho at all.
That was the reason why Su Yeon couldn’t say anything.
“Ha, how could this happen.”
“……”
“Why haven’t you said anything all this time…!”
In Ho, who had been waiting for Su Yeon’s answer, vented his painful emotions with a face full of selfderision.
His pupils vibrated fiercely without knowing what to do.
That alone was enough for Su Yeon to feel miserable and sad.
Su Yeon, who had been looking at him, pulled away her gaze and habitually licked her lips.
“It’s okay. I……”
“……”
“I’m, really okay.”
Really, by this point, she wasn’t bothered.
Compared to many things she had experienced in her life, this was nothing.
But……
Though she thought so with her head, her chest kept hurting.
In Ho’s eyes staring at her were full of regret she had never seen before.
It kept making Su Yeon’s heart sorrowful.
Su Yeon couldn’t lift her face that she had dropped down.
Her emotions were completely out of control.
Even if her eyes met his for a moment.
If his voice, which had quieted down now, were to invade her ears again.
Then, the tears she had barely held back seemed like they would pour out like a flood.
That’s why.
Su Yeon consciously avoided In Ho’s gaze and lay down with her back to him.
Until the night deepened, and dawn came.
The best thing she could do now was to try to sleep, which wouldn’t come.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
