The Grand Temptation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 35
“Alright, then hurry up and take it off.”
Covering her front with a large towel, Jae Ho said. Yuli slowly undid the buttons with her trembling hands. But unfortunately, she couldn’t manage to unfasten even a single one. Her fingers, numb from the cold, simply refused to obey her will.
“Damn it.”
Seeing no progress at all, Jae Ho pushed Yuli’s hands aside and began removing her clothes himself. This time, Yuli had no choice but to stay still. He was right—wet clothes were rapidly stealing away her body heat.
As Yuli’s lips turned blue, Jae Ho clenched his jaw tightly, his mouth set in a straight, angry line. Once all the buttons were undone, he quickly pulled apart the front of her blouse. The wet fabric clung stubbornly to her body, refusing to come off easily, so he yanked it with force. Just as she was about to tell him to be careful—it was Hyun Kyung’s clothing after all—a loud rip echoed through the air.
“……Ah.”
Now clad only in her undergarments, Yuli had no time to feel embarrassed. Jae Ho swiftly wrapped her in the towel and instructed her to take off her pants herself from within its folds. He pulled her close, rubbing her body vigorously with his palms as if trying to generate warmth through friction. Yet her shivering still showed no sign of stopping.
“This isn’t going to work.”
Muttering lowly, Jae Ho scooped Yuli up in his arms and strode briskly toward the master bedroom. The door, which had clearly been locked moments ago, swung open automatically when he pushed it with his shoulder. Without pause, he carried her straight into the bathroom and placed her inside the shower stall, turning on the water.
“Kyaaah!”
The moment a torrent of water gushed from the showerhead, a shriek escaped Yuli’s lips. The sudden rush of hot water onto her freezing skin sent a sharp, electric jolt of pain shooting through her entire body. Jae Ho held onto the staggering Yuli, gently stroking her back with his palm.
“Shh, it’s okay now.”
He whispered soothingly, brushing her wet hair behind her ears.
How long had they stood beneath the shower stream? Slowly, sensation began returning to her numb limbs. Her foggy mind gradually cleared, and she realized she was pressed tightly against him, chest to chest. Instantly, her face burned hot. Whether it was from the warm water cascading over her or something else entirely, she couldn’t tell.
As her trembling finally began to subside, Jae Ho reached out, turned off the water, and led Yuli to the bathtub, seating her on its edge. Both of them were thoroughly soaked, water dripping steadily from their hair.
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…?
