The building next to DS Boutique was someone’s house.
I thought it would be nice to purchase the building and open a beauty-related store specializing in items like dresses and beauty services.
“Wow, madam.”
“Perhaps such a great idea.”
“Wow…”
The eyes of the employees who heard my briefing were filled with admiring gazes.
“To that extent… Now I’m going to the capital. As soon as I return, start the interior construction and finalize the building purchase.”
“Understood, madam.”
After sorting out the discussion, I remembered the tasks related to the bamboo forest.
“And the bamboo forest within Morris’ territory…”
After giving various instructions, the meeting finally ended.
As everyone left to attend to their tasks, Mildred gently brought out a large dress box.
“Madam.”
“Yes?”
“If you are planning to attend the king’s birthday party this time, you need a new dress, don’t you?”
I was going to wear what I had.
“I prepared something this time…”
“Mildred? A dress for me? Why?”
“It seems like you want to wear something you already have.”
Mildred opened the lid of the dress box.
Inside, there was a burgundy dress adorned with subtle pearls, and a pair of matching shoes.
The dress and shoes were beautiful, reminiscent of the night sky with flowing auroras and the Milky Way.
But naturally, when I thought about the price of the dress, I was worried about Mildred’s financial situation.
The cost of my dress exceeds the salary of an average journalist.
It seemed a bit excessive, and as if reading my mind, Mildred gave a wry smile.
“It’s alright, madam. I can afford such expenses.”
“…”
“I hope you like it.”
Should I ask for a refund for the gift?
As I pondered with hesitation, I nodded my head in response to Mildred’s earnest expression. I couldn’t ignore her sincerity.
“Just this once. And…”
The moment the dress looked really elegant and beautiful, as I was about to thank her.
“Madam, there are items that have arrived for you.”
With a knock, Mrs. Polter entered, holding a beautiful bouquet of roses. Behind her, people carrying several large dress boxes came in line.
“What’s that?”
“Lord Morris sent these to you, madam.”
“Philip?”
Soon, the lids of the gift boxes were opened to my liking.
Dresses in colors like the peacock feather, apricot, ruby, and so on, along with matching party shoes. There seemed to be more than a dozen sets.
All of them sparkled with high-quality decorations. One of them had a handwritten note from Philip attached.
I have carefully selected a few of the finest dresses in vogue in the capital. Please choose the one you like and wear it to the king’s birthday party.
I prepared all of them, not knowing which one you would like.
After reading the note, Mrs. Polter spoke.
“And Madam, the Count sent a new carriage and dedicated coachmen as gifts.”
“A carriage?”
“It’s parked outside right now.”
I immediately looked out the window.
In front of the store entrance, there was a four-wheeled carriage with the emblem of DS Boutique engraved.
“…Unbelievable.”
I was dumbfounded by the sudden gifts and the supply of talents. However, it wasn’t difficult to guess why he sent them.
Philip had expressed gratitude for helping me clear my massive debts and wanted to support my business.
He had promised to introduce many nobles at the king’s birthday party, and since I declined, he undoubtedly prepared an alternative reward.
Among the people who had set down all the boxes Philip sent, three women, familiar faces, didn’t leave and politely lowered their heads to me.
They were the maids who used to take care of my appearance.
“Under the Count’s orders, we are here to take care of your dress, makeup, and hair, Madam.”
“Please let us accompany you to the party this time as well. We sincerely request your favor, Madam.”
“…”
Before I could respond, someone knocked again. This time it was Milga.
“Madam, some packages have arrived. Actually, quite a lot.”
Employees entered the office carrying several boxes. In their hands were dress boxes and accessory boxes.
“Where are they from?”
“Well, they’re from various places.”
Milga read a note.
“Prince Alexander Zephyros Bourbon has sent an emerald chiffon dress and a handbag. Lady Laila Morris from Count Morris sent a sapphire earring set. And also…”
As Milga read the note, boxes kept coming in and were piled up against one side of the wall.
“Why are there so many? Is there another sender?”
“Yes.”
It turned out that Lady Hades also sent several items related to the latest fashion for the party.
“It’s a sponsorship. There’s a note inside the red box.”
“Oh, okay.”
As a red box happened to be placed there, I checked the note inside.
The note stated that she wanted to cooperate in maintaining the beautiful dignity of the dear colleague and sent some necessary items for the lady.
After experiencing the sold-out situation of the umbrellas from Hades Boutique, she seemed to have high expectations.
‘…’
I couldn’t help but chuckle.
‘Sorry for not meeting your expectations.’
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…?
