Inside the carriage returning to the mansion.
As Cédric, with an indifferent expression, lowered his gaze, fine wrinkles appeared on his forehead.
“Is it because I am truly only interested in work that I started this?”
A challenging gaze, as if provoking.
A subtle smile with a mysterious meaning flickered for a moment.
… It keeps bothering him.
The deep blue eyes turned towards Lamein, who was looking out the window.
“If it’s not because of an interest in work, does that mean I have an interest in Lamein?”
As he pondered the meaning, the conclusion pointed in one direction.
A faint smile appeared on the wife’s lips, who quietly captured the scenery with clear, unknowing eyes.
Lamein, with the sunshine beautifully settling around her, looked so stunning that it was almost dazzling.
As he had told her.
The desire to possess her strongly resonates, wanting to confine her in his arms and see only him for a lifetime.
“What on earth was the intention behind those words?”
Getting frustrated doesn’t solve anything, but the frustration keeps building.
At that moment, when he was trying to suppress a sigh about to burst.
“Cédric.”
Lamein turned her head as if sensing his gaze.
Cédric, whose eyes met hers, put a slight smile on his lips.
“What are you thinking?”
“Nothing at all.”
His round violet eyes slowly roamed over Cédric’s face as if examining his expression.
The forced lifting of her husband’s mood didn’t seem pleasant.
She, who had been sitting slightly tilted towards the window, straightened up while looking directly at her husband.
“What conversation did you have with Marquis Haribo earlier?”
She was convinced that the cause of his sinking mood was the conversation with Marquis Haribo.
“As I said earlier, we didn’t have any important conversation.”
… But it seemed not. It really seemed not.
When the husband didn’t withdraw the suspicious gaze, he slightly tilted his chin.
“Why should I have a conversation with Bens?”
Instead of answering, the husband slowly raised his eyebrows.
“When I entered the reception room earlier, the atmosphere between you and Bens seemed a bit strange, so I asked.”
Lamein withdrew her persistent gaze.
“There’s no reason for Bens and me to have a good atmosphere.”
Listening and seeing, that seemed to be the case.
“But what is it then?”
Cédric, looking at the small box placed next to Lamein, asked.
“Oh, this. It’s candy Lady Haribo gave me as a gift.”
“Candy?”
Lamein nodded with a pleased smile.
And she lifted the box onto her lap and opened the lid.
“Isn’t it pretty?”
As Lamein said, the box contained colorful candies in beautiful shapes.
“I suggested having a brief conversation to give you this.”
Lamein smiled even more brightly than before.
Watching her like that, one couldn’t help but smile along.
“Is it really that nice?”
“It has a beautiful heart.”
As Lamein, who had been looking into the box, took out one candy.
“Do you want to try it?”
Then, she extended a candy wrapped in plastic to Cédric.
“It’s okay.”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Lamein withdrew her outstretched hand, lips trembling.
As Lamein placed the box back to the side, she met Cédric’s gaze directly.
“Cédric.”
And she called out with a serious tone.
“Yes, please speak.”
“Next time, I will come alone when meeting Marquis Haribo.”
Instead of answering, Cédric vigorously rubbed his forehead.
“Both of them feel uncomfortable with each other. Thanks to that, I feel uncomfortable too.”
It feels like they came to discuss business but ended up watching each other and leaving.
“I absolutely refuse.”
“…What?”
It’s not just a simple refusal, but an absolute rejection.
“Why?”
“Why? Because I don’t like it, that’s why.”
“Is it because it would be uncomfortable for you if I come along?”
Uncomfortable! Too uncomfortable!
Staring as if protesting.
“At first, it’s natural. Everything is like that at first.”
Blue eyes stubbornly flashed, as if saying to just accept it.
“Cédric.”
Quietly suppressing the rising anger, Lamein called her husband calmly.
“Why do you want to come with me?”
As she attempted to have a calm conversation, her husband’s sharp eyes became even sharper.
“It’s to prevent any potential danger.”
“…”
“After experiencing it several times, I can’t let my guard down for a moment.”
She knew why he was saying such things. However,
“Are you planning to move with me every day from now on?”
It was logically unreasonable.
“It may be difficult every day, but if it’s considered a dangerous situation, I think I will.”
“Today’s situation wasn’t particularly dangerous. So next time, I’ll come alone…”
Lamein, who had been speaking in a light tone, suddenly faltered.
… Why is that?
Her husband is making a face as if he would explode the carriage any moment now.
“C-Cédric? Why are you like this?”
“It’s dangerous.”
…What? What on earth?
Is there something dangerous inside?
Not understanding English, Lamein turned her head around to inspect the inside of the carriage.
Cédric, looking at Lamein with burning eyes, clenched his back teeth.
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…?
