He regretted doing something unnecessary when three words came back after his one remark. Inhoek said,
“Just sit for 5 more minutes and then get up.”
“…”
“I think it’s a return for finding your wallet.”
The woman sighed deeply and brought the glass back to her lips. She seemed not to have heard the advice to stop drinking. After downing the drink, she put the glass down and said,
“Why do you wonder why I’m acting like this alone here today in Paris?”
“No, I’m not curious…”
“Today, my first love got married in Paris. Of course, that senior doesn’t even know I liked him. So, I sent the wedding invitation with a bright face.”
The woman continued the untold story, gazing at the empty air with a bitter expression.
“I hope the person I once liked is living happily, but on the other hand, my heart feels empty.”
“…”
“These complex and subtle emotions are hard for someone like you to understand.”
The woman turned her head and stared at Inhoek.
“Ha.”
She said with a pitiful expression.
“Your face is really handsome…”
“…”
“Why is it that handsome people are either weird or playboys?”
While looking at Inhoek’s face, the woman continued speaking as if someone had come to her mind.
“I know a man who looks very similar to you among the people I know. He’s my close younger brother’s husband, and his face is incredibly handsome like yours.”
“…”
“But despite the perfect appearance, it seems that his inner self is not. Just by looking at my younger brother leaving the house, everything was clear.”
Until then, Inhoek didn’t even think that the man the woman was talking about might be someone very close to him.
“Fortunately, he seems to be doing well now. Since he’s my precious brother, I hope he lives happily.”
After finishing the story, the woman looked at Inhoek again. Inhoek’s face, under the influence of alcohol, became clear into her eyes.
“Too bad. Your face is totally my style…”
She said with a regretful expression.
“If only your personality was a bit decent, I would’ve dashed right away.”
In response to her sigh-mixed remark, Inhoek retorted as if he was astonished.
“Who asked you to meet me?”
The woman said indignantly.
“How am I?”
“…”
“Even like this, many people find me attractive, you know? Right now, I’m wearing loose clothes, but my figure is no joke.”
Though not easy to boast about herself, she seemed to be a person overflowing with self-love.
Looking again, her distinct facial features seemed to be quite attractive. Her body was slender and elongated, just as she claimed.
“In my heyday, if men wanted to meet me, they would line up for two laps around the field.”
“Then you’ll meet one of them.”
In response to Inhoek’s words, the woman, after being momentarily speechless, muttered.
“Annoying… Talking well is also my style.”
How could she express herself so honestly without any pretense? She seemed like a person who had never experienced the concept of hypocrisy. A woman with a style she had never encountered in her life.
“If you don’t like it, why are you sitting here?”
The woman asked with a sulky face.
“Why are you sitting next to me, listening to my story?”
Why bother pretending to know nothing, whether strange men approach or not.
Why sit here, listening to all these useless stories.
Inhoek also didn’t understand why he was doing this. Looking at the watch, he realized that five minutes had passed quickly. Standing up, Inhoek said,
“It’s been five minutes, so I’ll leave now.”
“Sure.”
The woman turned her head back towards the glass. It seemed like she wanted to drink again.
I wonder if I’ll be able to find the hotel room like this.
Inhoek asked casually.
“Do you stay at this hotel?”
“No. I didn’t make a separate reservation for the hotel.”
“Where’s your home?”
“Rome.”
It’s quite far.
But I couldn’t figure out why she didn’t book a hotel room.
Well, she’ll figure it out herself.
Inhoek briefly looked at the woman’s face as she drank, then turned away.
It was when he was walking towards the door to go upstairs to the hotel room.
“Thud.”
Inhoek turned his head at the noise from behind.
There, he saw a fallen chair and a woman sitting next to it. She was completely drunk and couldn’t even get up.
“…”
Inhoek looked at her with a conflicted expression.
She was a woman whose name he didn’t know. There was no one around to say anything even if he passed by. No, she seemed like a person not worth getting involved with for no good reason.
Just pretend not to notice.
Inhoek made a determined expression as if he had decided.
But contrary to his mind, his feet were heading towards her.
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…?
