Lucas Yoo turned around at the call.
“Yes, Executive Director Chae.”
Do Ha slowly approached him. He wasn’t sure what the point of stopping him this one time would be, but he just instinctively wanted to do it.
“Since we met like this, I feel a bit regretful if we part ways… How about we have lunch together as you suggested?”
“Ah, shall we? That sounds good to me.”
“Considering the time, I should have lunch, and it won’t take much time if we stop by the Songhwa Palace restaurant. I’m also curious because the Songhwa Palace set meal is so famous.”
“Oh, shall we have it here? The seasonal menu is getting a good response. Let’s go. It’s not like we’re living in a hurry to live without eating.”
Fortunately, Lucas Yoo welcomed him with a hearty laugh. And then the next moment, something Do Ha hadn’t thought of followed.
“Ah, if Executive Director Chae is okay with it, shall we invite Principal Lee Hyun Seo to join us?”
It was confirmed that CEO Yoo was indeed heading towards Hyun Seo.
Well then, I should be grateful. I can see Hyun Seo’s face one more time.
“Of course. I was just on my way out from a meeting with Principal Lee. The conversation ended a bit abruptly, so it would be even better if I could see him again.”
“Ah… Is that so?”
The smiling expression on Lucas’s face crumbled for a moment. However, Lucas was soon able to skillfully conceal his inner feelings, although he felt a sense of discomfort inside.
He recalled how Do Ha had been staring at Hyun Seo in awe during the last meeting.
“What important matter could have brought you here personally, Director Chae?”
Lucas asked in confusion.
“It’s an important matter. I wanted to treat the patent holder properly, but since he kept refusing, I wanted to visit him personally.”
“I see.”
It didn’t seem like a matter for the director to attend, it felt more like an excuse.
‘So, he came all this way to see Hyun Seo, but he didn’t even contact or greet me. Why didn’t Hyun Seo tell me he was meeting Executive Director Chae?’
There were many suspicious points.
Moreover, lunch time was almost here, and Hyun Seo wasn’t the type to send a guest away without a meal.
‘Could this man have caused Hyun Seo any discomfort?’
For a moment, all kinds of imaginations rose, but Lucas spoke calmly, without showing any signs.
“Then please wait a moment. I’ll go and ask Principal Lee to have a meal.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucas turned around and headed for the principal’s office. Now that it had come to this, he wanted to see their atmosphere again today.
Knock knock
“Hyun Seo. It’s me.”
“Come in, Lucas.”
Lucas, who swung the door open and leaned in, showed a slight smile towards Hyun Seo.
“Let’s eat, Hyun Seo.”
“Oh, shall we? I’ll go out now.”
Hyun Seo turned off his laptop and immediately got up from his seat.
“What shall we eat? I’m hungry from working hard.”
Hyun Seo, who hadn’t been able to get a grip on his work after the meeting with Do Ha, mumbled pointlessly as he stepped out of the door.
“Let’s eat at our place today.”
“That sounds good. Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while. I haven’t even tried the seasonal menu yet.”
“But, Hyun Seo. One more person will join us today, is that okay?”
“Huh? Who is it?”
With the question, the man standing in the middle of the alley that Lucas had just entered came into view. Hyun Seo’s eyes widened involuntarily.
Only then did Lucas speak to Hyun Seo, who had hesitated and stopped in his tracks.
“Executive Director Chae Do Ha will also be joining us.”
“……”
Chae Do Ha stood quietly on the path, looking at her.
“You said you had a meeting with Executive Director Chae. You should have told me. We almost sent him off without even saying hello.”
“Well…… I didn’t know the director would come himself.”
Hyun Seo, flustered, whispered softly.
“Oh, I see. Anyway, is it okay to have a meal together?”
In front of Lucas who asked as if nothing had happened, there was a moment of hesitation, but Hyun Seo’s answer was bound to be predetermined.
“Uh huh…… Okay.”
It would have been strange to suddenly withdraw after saying that she was hungry and their place was good.
Do Ha did not take his eyes off Hyun Seo, who was obediently approaching him with Lucas.
Despite his repeated offers to eat together, the woman who endlessly refused finally seemed to agree to Lucas’s proposal.
There was a time when she was my closest woman in the world. She was my wife.
This situation felt incredibly strange to him.
Now, to even have a meal together, he couldn’t persuade her himself and had to borrow the power of another man to convince this difficult woman.
Looking back now, the moments he spent with Hyun Seo felt like precious and brilliant gems, even the smallest moments.
Remembering the scenes from that time, which are now distant, it seemed that each and every moment was just a painfully beautiful memory.
Although they said they had a meeting together, there was a strange silence between them at the meal.
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…?
