“Noona, there are still a few reporters in front. I’ll bring the car around, so please wait here for a moment.”
“If you’re bringing the car, those in front should go first. How about it, Writer Gong? Will you go to the second location with people?”
At Cha PD’s suggestion, Writer Gong shook his head.
“No. I’ll wait and move when I see Se-gyeong leaving. I’ll talk to Director Jo and tell him to move first. Se-gyeong, say goodbye to people before you go.”
“Okay.”
Se-gyeong left with Writer Gong. As they greeted those heading to the second location, Je-hoon, who had gone to the parking lot, pulled up in front of the restaurant with the car.
“Get in, Se-gyeong. If we part like this today, who knows when we’ll see each other again.”
“If you have time, let’s have a meal separately. Or you can show me when you work on a new project.”
Se-gyeong smiled at the regretful Writer Gong.
“Sure. I’ll contact you next time.”
“Me too. When I work on a new project, I’ll contact Se-gyeong. Let me know if there’s good news next time.”
“Yes. Well, I’ll go in first.”
Se-gyeong greeted Writer Gong and Cha PD before getting into the van. Je-hoon, who rolled down the window, greeted the two and started the car.
“Noona, do you have any other places to stop by?”
Through the rearview mirror, Je-hoon met eyes with Se-gyeong.
“Yeah. Just go straight home.”
In response to Se-gyeong’s answer, Je-hoon focused on driving again. She glanced at the front seat after checking the message from Tae-jo.
He must have heard the conversation about my dating partner at the barbecue restaurant from the fellow actor who asked about it in the news. Yet, he didn’t ask me anything.
What does he know?
Did Director Song say something? Or did he hear from someone in the general affairs team that the two of us are dating?
“Noona.”
“Hmm?”
While contemplating various possibilities, the car had already arrived at Se-gyeong’s house.
She picked up her bag, got out of the car, and walked to the driver’s seat to face Je-hoon.
“Thank you for today.”
“You too. It must be tiring. Go in and rest.”
After exchanging polite farewells, Je-hoon grabbed the steering wheel again. Just before the car started moving, Se-gyeong called out to him again.
“Je-hoon.”
“Yes?”
“Aren’t you curious? About the person I’m dating.”
In response to Se-gyeong’s direct question, Je-hoon seemed taken aback and rolled his eyes.
“Well, I am curious, but…”
“…”
“I kind of have an idea.”
“You do?”
When Se-gyeong asked again, Je-hoon smiled coolly and, covering his mouth with one hand, whispered to her.
“The person you’re dating, isn’t it Director Jin?”
As the correct answer came out abruptly from Je-hoon’s mouth, Se-gyeong’s eyes widened.
“How did you… How did you know?!”
“I didn’t hear it from anyone. After the news about your couple article came out, I thought about it and noticed that your recent whereabouts often coincided with Director Jin’s. What felt strange to me was when your mother came? The day Director Jin intentionally came to pick her up at the airport. Since then, I suspected.”
“You noticed it from back then?”
“No. At that time, I just thought it was strange. It’s not common for Director Jin to personally come and pick up your mother at the airport. Moreover, he came to the drama production presentation when you announced it.”
“Why didn’t you ask? You could have asked to confirm.”
“I thought you would tell me when the time comes. So I just waited.”
Smirking, Je-hoon looked at Se-gyeong.
Even though he seemed to know nothing, he was waiting for me to say it.
Is this what it feels like to have a reliable younger brother?
For some reason, her heart felt touched. Despite knowing everything, he silently took care of her. On one hand, she was grateful, and on the other hand, she felt sorry for telling him just now.
“Your instincts are sharp. Thanks. For waiting until I said it.”
“Well, it’s natural for a manager. It’s still cold, go inside, Noona.”
“Take care of yourself while driving too.”
Je-hoon nodded and turned the steering wheel to leave. She only looked back after the van had left the main gate.
“Uh? When did you arrive?”
Se-gyeong discovered Tae-jo standing in front of the villa entrance and greeted him with a big smile.
“Just a moment ago. What did you talk about with the manager?”
“He was curious about who my lover is. It came up during the wrap-up party. Despite that, since Je-hoon didn’t ask anything, I took the initiative.”
“So, you told him it’s me?”
Se-gyeong nodded in response to Tae-jo’s question.
“Then what did Manager Shin say?”
“He expected it. Because the president is often with me.”
Tae-jo approached Se-gyeong and held her hand, rubbing his finger over her knuckles.
“Hmm?”
When something hard bumped between her fingers, she lifted the hand she had caught.
There was a ring on Tae-jo’s finger.
“Did you find the ring?”
“Yeah. But where did this scratch come from?”
Tae-jo pointed to the red mark on Se-gyeong’s hand.
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…?
