Yeonju’s expression was incredulous.
Just two days ago, Hongseok had clearly looked at her with displeasure. It was unimaginable that he would suddenly change his mind.
“Why did Grandfather suddenly change his mind?”
“Well, who knows. Maybe your sincerity got through to him.”
Although the one who changed Hongseok’s mind was the shaman, Jinwook didn’t want to say the truth. And partly, he believed that Yeonju’s words might have reached Hongseok as well.
“I can’t believe it.”
“It’s not unbelievable; it’s quite likely.”
Jinwook said with a mild gaze.
“I was really moved back then too.”
Yeonju still felt puzzled, but she nodded and said, “Anyway, it’s fortunate that Grandfather gave permission.”
“Since Grandfather has given permission, no one in the household, including Mother, will have anything to say. Because for now, Grandfather has the most power in our house.”
Jinwook looked straight at Yeonju and said,
“If anyone says anything to you, tell me immediately. Don’t keep it to yourself like before.”
“…”
“Understood?”
Yeonju, seeing his eyes filled with concern and determination, nodded.
After finishing the conversation, as Jinwook tried to take off his shirt, Yeonju subtly brought up a question.
“When you said not to keep it to myself, did you mean asking about this?”
She took something out of the dresser drawer, showing it to Jinwook.
“What is this?”
Jinwook looked at the item she handed him – a rectangular box with a blue hue. Without much thought, he instantly recognized what was inside.
“I found it while organizing the house today. It’s something I’ve never seen before, so it’s not mine.”
Yeonju was also clueless about what was inside. With a somewhat serious expression, she asked,
“What… whose is this?”
Smirking at Yeonju’s serious expression, Jinwook chuckled.
“Whose do you think? It’s yours.”
“Mine?”
“Well, whose else would it be?”
“…”
Yeonju felt belated embarrassment as if she had unnecessarily imagined something. With a somewhat cool expression, she asked,
“I’ve never received such an item, so naturally, it can be confusing. When did you buy this?”
Jinwook looked down at the box and answered,
“The day you disappeared.”
“…”
“I bought it during my business trip to Europe. I thought it would suit you.”
The item inside the box was a necklace that Jinwook purchased for Yeonju during his business trip to Europe.
Recalling that moment, Jinwook continued speaking.
“But I couldn’t give it to you. When I came home, you were gone.”
The confusion, fear, and emptiness he felt at that time were vividly brought back by the memory alone.
Seeing Jinwook’s expression, Yeonju’s eyes sank. The pain and loneliness he experienced during her absence were clearly conveyed.
Jinwook opened the box and took out the necklace. It was a bright silver necklace emitting a radiant light.
“I intended to give it as a Christmas present, but I’m telling you now.”
Jinwook tilted his head toward her and put the necklace on her.
The necklace, hanging on her pure white neck, shimmered even more beautifully. Touching the necklace, Yeonju spoke with a voice full of emotion.
“It’s so beautiful.”
“I knew it would suit you well.”
Jinwook looked at Yeonju’s delighted appearance affectionately.
He missed this face.
He missed this face, so he bought a necklace on a busy business trip.
He missed this face so much that for three months, he searched the entire world in a state of distraction.
Now that Yeonju was back by his side, he had nothing more to wish for.
Yeonju, after admiring the necklace, looked up at Jinwook.
“…Thank you.”
“…”
“And I’m sorry.”
Yeonju’s eyes, filled with tenderness, slowly welled up.
“Sorry for making you wait for so long.”
Jinwook gently stroked Yeonju’s face with one hand and said,
“It’s okay. Now that you’re here, everything’s fine.”
Yeonju stared at the necklace for a while before speaking to Jinwook.
“Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever given you a proper gift. You seem to have everything you need… I don’t even know what you would want.”
Yeonju, wanting to reciprocate for the gift, asked subtly,
“Do you not want anything?”
Jinwook responded to her question with a meaningful expression.
“Can I say anything?”
“Tell me, and if it’s something I can get, I will.”
“It’s not an object.”
As Jinwook unbuttoned his shirt, he said,
“There is one thing I want right now.”
His eyes, now deeply tinted, focused on Yeonju. It was only then that Yeonju realized that the one he desired was her.
Feeling the heat emanating from his soon-to-be-touching body, she realized one more thing.
Tonight, she was in for an early sleepless night.
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…?
