The Grand Temptation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 60
He was back.
Kwon Je Ho, her man, stood before her, looking slightly thinner than before.
Yet there was something different about him—an unmistakable shift in his aura. His eyes, dry and devoid of emotion, were fixed on her. Though they were in a secret relationship and couldn’t show affection openly, there was an inexplicable chill hanging in the air.
After briefly locking eyes, Jae Ho quickly turned away and began speaking with Manager Kim, who had asked if he’d come straight from the airport, gradually walking further away.
Yuli watched his retreating back and forced a bitter smile. He could’ve at least sent a single text saying he’d returned. The thought that she hadn’t even known he’d come back home made her stomach twist. As she headed back to her seat, she heard Manager Kim’s excited voice from behind.
“Anyone free tonight? How about dinner together? Our Jae Ho here is treating us to two-horn Hanwoo beef.”
Not just any “Hanwoo”—but “two-horn Hanwoo”—those words alone made every employee unanimously agree. Yuli turned her eyes back toward Jae Ho. Though he surely knew she was watching him, he kept his gaze firmly fixed on Manager Kim.
When one of the employees approached him holding blueprints, he turned his body toward them. Truthfully, his attitude wasn’t unusual—during work hours, he hardly ever approached her anyway.
Back at her desk, Yuli pulled out her phone from her bag. Aside from that mysterious call earlier, there hadn’t been a single message or call from him.
She could always talk to him later when they were alone. There was no need to act anxious—but for some reason, unease gnawed at her, and she bit down hard on her lower lip.
An hour later, as everyone moved to the dinner venue, Yuli deliberately sat far away from Jae Ho. He might have been fine with it, but she didn’t trust herself to face him as if nothing had happened.
“Yuli, eat up,”
Sun Young, seated beside her, kept placing grilled meat onto Yuli’s plate.
“You’ve lost so much weight lately.”
Sun Young wasn’t just making small talk—stress really had made her weight drop noticeably. Those words drew everyone’s attention to Yuli.
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…?
