Perhaps it’s the effect of alcohol, or maybe it’s the cool spring breeze that’s passing by.
The embracing touch was warm. As the soft lips and skin that gently brushed against mine intertwined, my eyelids lazily lowered.
The lips that invaded and intruded, as if about to part from me, repeated the act of invasion.
When his lips seemed to distance themselves, an ache filled me, but when they touched again, it felt like melting into sweetness.
Engulfed in a deep communion, I gradually seeped into him.
Slowly detaching his lips, he lowered his gaze and, as he looked at me, he lifted his head as if a firework had just exploded, as if he had been waiting for this moment.
That’s when I realized.
This was my first love, my first kiss.
Whether it was due to the alcohol or the recent kiss, my face felt hot, the intoxication rising.
Sycar embraced my swaying self. My eyes were half-closed in the warm and sweet warmth.
Maybe I drank too much wine. I’m not usually so weak with alcohol, but perhaps it’s been a while since I’ve had a drink.
I might as well faint like this, but my mind, half out of it, was surprisingly clear.
He, too, had a slightly flushed face, perhaps due to our kiss.
“Now that Roen and Jeremy seem to be getting along well according to your wishes, we should probably leave.”
Sycar’s face, reddened by the setting sun as he stood, was so dazzling that it seemed to take my breath away.
His gaze, which was clearly watching me, made me turn my eyes away.
“I haven’t been able to sleep, so I’m a bit tired, but I didn’t drink much.”
“Right now, your face is red like someone who’s completely drunk. Your eyes are wide open, as if your soul has left your body, or it looks like your soul has left your body because of me?”
A person who says, ‘I’m not drunk,’ when they’re drunk is a liar, and that seemed to be true.
I was a bit drunk now. Drunk on wine and intoxicated by Sycar’s warm chest.
But I didn’t want to go in like this. Because I wanted to savor this feeling a little more.
But my words popped out unexpectedly, contrary to my feelings.
“Don’t even think about coming up to my bed just because I’m drunk.”
“Do I look like the kind of person who would mess with a drunk?”
“Well, not really…”
“But if you say that, I really want to go up.”
Absolutely not allowed…
I should say this outside… But the words wouldn’t come out.
Overwhelmed by the drowsiness that was pressing in, I soon fell into a deep sleep.
“We should go first. As you can see, my wife is a bit drunk.”
Even without Sycar explicitly mentioning that his wife was drunk, Roen and Jeremy could quickly understand the situation.
Yura, more than a little, was almost unconscious, leaning against Sycar’s chest.
“It’s a pity that you’re leaving already.”
“We’ll see each other again next time, right?”
The Duke, who always brandished his sword like a threat whenever he had something to demand, warned Roen to safely escort Jeremy to the temple, now that the sword was absent, before leaving, pretending to draw his hand across his throat.
‘Until Roen leaves this place, I have to stay put.’
Jeremy, who was tilting her head, turned to look at Roen, who she was pointing at, and panicked.
Roen was holding a wine bottle on the table, or rather, it looked like she was pouring it into her mouth.
Jeremy grabbed the wine bottle in Roen’s hand and put it down.
“Roen-nim! Are you okay?”
Roen turned her head with a bright smile.
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
From the way Roen turned her head, there was no feeling of being drunk at all. She looked perfectly fine.
“Oh, no. I was just worried because you drank so much…”
“I’m a bit strong with alcohol. I could drink several bottles of rum without a problem. A few bottles of wine like this don’t even faze me.”
“Well, I’m glad if that’s the case, but…”
“Oh, by the way, I don’t recommend drinking, so if Jeremi-nim wants to drink, you can drink, and if not, you don’t have to.”
“Well, I won’t drink. It’s not that I don’t like alcohol; I still have things to do.”
“If those things to do involve being with me, that would be great. For example, dancing more with me. Or having a deeper conversation.”
Although it was first to finish the tasks Sycar requested, Jeremy wanted to listen a bit more to Roen, who seemed to be in a good mood as if she were drunk.
Jeremy handed a piece of fruit to Roen, who took a sip of the wine.
“Now that we’ve danced, let’s have that deep conversation.”
Then Roen’s eyes sparkled, and she looked at Jeremy, resting her chin on the back of her hand.
“Jeremi-nim, what are your plans for having children?”
Let’s just stick to dancing. I never thought she would ask such an outlandish question.
Jeremy looked at Roen, who seemed to be asking how she could ask such a question, but Roen had a rather serious expression.
“For now, I’d like to have one child.”
“Why is that?”
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…?
