The revelation that Chairman Tae Seok Ho, a well-known magnate in Korea, is Seo Jun’s biological father, and the special relationship between her father and Chairman Tae, was the reality that had been pressuring her.
It was at this moment that she remembered it.
“Wait a minute!”
Regaining her senses, So Yeon firmly grabbed Seo Jun’s hand as he reached for the last button of her blouse.
“…?”
Frustrated like a beast robbed of its prey, Seo Jun’s annoyance showed as one eyebrow lifted.
He initiated the kiss on her forehead, but it was she who pecked his lips first. The subsequent kiss flowed naturally, and her actions clearly signaled she wouldn’t resist anymore. But why, all of a sudden, is she saying it’s not possible?
“Weren’t you ready to accept me?”
So Yeon, hastily fixing her disheveled clothes, replied.
“Yes, I was. Until a moment ago, I was so shaken I thought I would give in to you, Tae Seo Jun. But now, it doesn’t seem right.”
“Why!”
“I’m sorry. Anyway, it’s not like that! Well, I’ll be leaving now…”
Even if Seo Jun thought of her as capricious, So Yeon had no choice. She promptly exited the master bedroom.
“Ha…!”
He was toying with her emotions as he pleased!
Was this insatiable desire, growing stronger with time, only going to end with death? How could she not break free from this small woman’s grip?
Reflecting on the times he couldn’t forget So Yeon and the recent days when he had no choice but to cling to her, Seo Jun, trying to hide his anger, walked heavily into the bathroom.
He needed to splash some cold water on his face, feeling hot with frustration after being rejected by So Yeon again.
But it wasn’t that he had started to dislike So Yeon.
He was just slightly bewildered, not realizing that winning a woman’s heart could be this difficult.
So Yeon had a significant reason for suddenly pushing Seo Jun away.
She had resolved to accept Seo Jun today, to reveal everything she had kept hidden.
But at the moment she was about to be honest, she realized why the portrait on the central staircase had always bothered her.
She had always thought his father’s face looked familiar, and today she finally remembered who he was.
She hadn’t expected him to be from the number one conglomerate family. Being a mere tycoon and being part of the El Estella Group were different levels. It wasn’t just a matter of Seo Jun accepting her.
Back in her room, So Yeon nervously chewed her lower lip, lost in thought. Then, after a while, she tremblingly called her parents in Canada.
[Mom?] “Did Hyun Woo eat dinner?” [Hyun Woo] “Yes. Grandma says I have to grow a lot to go to Korea. So, I ate a lot.”“Good job, my pretty baby! When you come to our house in Seoul, Mommy will cook whatever you like. What do you want to eat the most?”
[Hyun Woo] “Hehe, Hyun Woo likes anything Mommy makes.”“That’s right. Just tell me, and Mommy will make it for you.”
Holding back tears, So Yeon took a breath and continued, “Hyun Woo, where is Grandpa?”
[Hyun Woo] “Grandpa is here, wait a moment, Mommy.”As soon as Hyun Woo handed over the phone, her father’s comforting voice came through.
[Dad] “It’s Dad, So Yeon.”So Yeon casually asked about Chairman Tae Seok Ho while exchanging pleasantries.
“Dad, you know Chairman Tae Seok Ho of El Estella Hotel, right?”
[Dad] “Yes, but why?”“Just curious. A friend studying economics mentioned him in her thesis, and I got curious too. What kind of person is he? His personality, values?”
[Dad] “Well, he’s a good man, indeed. But as someone who amassed such wealth, he is very stern and precise. If he deems something wrong, he is relentless. He can do anything if he sets his mind to it. Above all, his insight is formidable. Do you want me to tell you more?”“No, that’s okay, Dad.”
After speaking with her father, So Yeon’s thoughts grew even more complex and deep.
When she first saw the portrait and realized Seo Jun was a second-generation chaebol, she felt they were from different worlds. But that alone wasn’t enough to cut him out of her heart, leaving her with lingering regrets. Thus, she mustered the courage again to dream of becoming Seo Jun’s woman.
But she was wrong.
Being with him, being his woman, was far from trivial. It wasn’t just about Seo Jun; it involved the interests of his family elders. It wasn’t something to be taken lightly.
The mere fact that his family was a chaebol dynasty was intimidating. Still, she had hoped that, since Seo Jun loved her, he might warmly embrace her child too. However, hearing about Chairman Tae Seok Ho made her realize the truth.
The fear of losing her child was overwhelming. She couldn’t ignore the worst-case scenario: facing opposition from his parents and hers.
What if Chairman Tae wanted to take the child away, using his immense wealth and power to snatch him from her?
No! That couldn’t happen!
The thought of being separated from her child was too horrifying to even imagine.
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…?
