He woke Eun Jae, who was lost in thought, by snapping his fingers.
“Ms. Ji Eun Jae. Eat first, sightsee later, it won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
“Yes.”
The man who had been neatly cutting his steak casually asked Eun Jae a question.
“Where are you staying now?”
“Just around…”
For some reason, the man seemed to have quite a lot of curiosity about me.
“What are you good at?”
“Me?”
Eun Jae fell into thought for a moment at his gesture of nodding while sipping a nonalcoholic champagne with fizzy bubbles.
Good at? I’ve never thought about it.
Even though she was the type to learn quickly because she had good adaptability, she had never thought she was exceptionally good at something.
“Cleaning? Laundry? Washing dishes? Well…”
She didn’t know why these words sprang out, but since these were the only things she was doing these days, there was nothing to show off at the moment. That seemed to be the reason.
“So I should take it as you’re good at general housework?”
The corner of the man’s mouth seemed to be lifted somewhere as he took another sip of champagne, and Eun Jae swallowed a dry lump.
She wasn’t sure what the standard for being good at something was, or what the man’s standard was.
Yes, why would I show you me cleaning, doing laundry, and washing dishes?
“Yes. Why do you ask?”
“To repay the favor.”
Ah, did I come to repay the favor? What’s with me coming to repay a favor like a magpie?
Eun Jae answered while putting a bitesized cut steak in her mouth.
“Don’t tell me, you’re not going to make me a housekeeper or something, are you? I’m not that professional.”
“It’s too petty to measure the value of a life.”
Smiling, he opened the wallet he had laid next to the table. A piece of paper with something written on it was pushed in front of Eun Jae.
“I have something for you to check. Come here by 9 o’clock tomorrow morning.”
It was a yellow paper with an unfamiliar address written on it.
Eun Jae quietly recited the address written on the paper and then turned to Sun Woo and asked,
“Where is this?”
“My house.”
“Huh? Why should I go to your house?”
“That damn ‘teacher’ address really bothers me.”
His eyebrows tightened considerably, expressing his discomfort as he murmured lowly.
“Do I have to hear you address me as a teacher even when I’m outside? Frankly, I’ve never been your teacher.”
“No, why are you angry then?”
“I’m not angry, that’s just how I talk.”
It’s boasting. If you know, you should think about correcting it.
Eun Jae spat out the words she dared not say out loud, glaring at him slantingly.
“Anyway, why should I go?”
“I told you, I have something to check.”
She couldn’t fathom his intentions, mixing his informal and formal speech oddly.
It’s like fattening up to devour.
Is this person a good person or a bad person?
What does he want from me? Or does he even want anything?
“Just tell me what you want now.”
“Let’s talk about that after we check tomorrow.”
She wanted to say something, but her words were blocked, and her mouth just hung open. The man tilted his champagne glass and smiled thinly.
“I’m curious, too.”
The corner of his mouth lifted in a smile as he drained the remaining champagne from the glass.
“What you could do for me.”
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…?
