“I was discussing my worries with the master.”
Riley’s words made Arpeggio furious.
“Who’s your master? I just gave you a brief look.”
“Why shout? You’ll startle your sister.”
Gibnen approached Riley and hugged her.
“What could have troubled you so much? If you have worries, why not confide in me?”
“You looked busy.”
“Am I busier than my sister’s worries?”
“Hmm, aren’t the major affairs of the tower more important than my worries?”
“To me, my sister is more important.”
Hey, both of you, get out of my precious workshop. Do you think this is your dating place?
At Arpeggio’s words, Gibnen agreed and pulled Riley’s hand.
“Let’s go, to my office.”

Sak recalled the conversation from just an hour ago.
[Dash] If it bothers you so much, why not just return to school? [Dash] Even if you go back, there won’t be any lectures we can attend together. My subject is for the fourth year. [Dash] The implication that you were considering returning to school is shocking. [Dash] I’m anxious. [Dash] The young lady is not an uncontrollable baby, Master. [Dash] In society, she’s no different from a child exposed to the market. Have you forgotten what abuse she suffered from the Earl? [Dash] The young lady hasn’t completely severed ties with society, has she? [Dash] What’s the difference? She couldn’t even attend the academy where everyone goes, and she was confined to the house. All contact with anyone other than related parties was completely cut off. She wasn’t even introduced to social circles. [Dash] Still, the young lady is of age to take care of herself. [Dash] Enough.‘So concerned and worried, yet you brought her here.’
“Sak, am I in your way?”
At Riley’s question, Sak smiled faintly and shook his head.
“No way, it’s nice for me if the young lady is here.”
“Why?”
“That’s… It’s not often I can serve such a humble boss? Please go on with your work without worrying about me.”
Sak discreetly got up and left. Then he quietly disappeared again after giving Riley a cup of tea and a cake.
“How was today?”
Riley seemed to have been waiting for Gibnen to ask this question and answered in a slightly formal tone.
“It was good. I made a friend.”
“Already?”
“Yeah.”
“Amazing.”
“Actually, I was very worried. I’m quite shy and… I’m not used to dealing with people, so I was really worried, but luckily…”
“Bring them home later.”
“Can I?”
“Sure, I have to treat my wife’s friend.”
Riley nodded happily.
“What did you consult Arpeggio about?”
“Huh? It’s nothing big, but…”
“Why can’t you tell me if it’s not a big deal?”
Riley hesitated for a moment before telling the story.
How she had taken a seat first but unbelievably had it taken away, how the lecture was so hard she couldn’t understand a word of it.
“Oh, is eating alone in a restaurant considered rude?”
“Why would it be rude?”
“Because there were many people, and taking up a twoperson table by myself looked bad?”
“What nonsense. Whoever comes first takes the seat; why does the number of people matter?”
“Right? I didn’t think wrong, did I?”
“Did someone say something?”
“There was a small friction, but it was well resolved, some man helped me.”
“……Man?”
“He was handsome. Not as much as you, though.”
Gibnen’s lips twisted unhappily.
“Man?”
“Yeah.”
“And he’s handsome?”
“Yeah.”
Gibnen clenched his jaw and glared at Riley.
“That’s a problem.”
“What is?”
“Getting involved with a handsome man on the first day.”
“I don’t even know his name. But he helped me, so I bought him a meal.”
“You ate together?”
“It happened while I was eating. He said to buy him a meal if I was thankful.”
“That’s a typical pickup line.”
“No way. He didn’t give off that vibe at all. He was handsome, but his words were very… unpleasant. Just like the master.”
“Arpeggio being unpleasant is correct.”
“Just in words. But the master is a good person.”
“Since when did that guy become your master?”
“You taught me. I want to continue learning if possible. The academic curriculum seems too difficult for me to understand on my own.”
Gibnen let out a smirk as if he was astounded.
“With a better teacher in front of you, why bother?”
“Where?”
“Here.”
“You?”
“Yes.”
“But you’re a magician.”
“Is there a law that says a magician can’t have a disciple?”
“But you don’t have time to teach me, do you?”
Gibnen let out a grinding noise.
“I still hate that disciple.”
“Why?”
“I just wish no men were around my sister.”
Riley, who was blinking her eyes blankly, understood his words and laughed.
“It’s okay, I only have you.”
“…….”
“I keep my promises well. I haven’t forgotten our promise. I’m the one who will marry you, so I shouldn’t turn my eyes to other men.”
“But you said to let you go if you fall in love with someone or want to end the marriage.”
“Hmm, I did say that.”
“You don’t have to not love those guys hanging around. Especially if they’re handsome. Both of them.”
“Both?”
“Arpeggio and that nameless man.”
“The teacher is handsome? The teacher looks like a hairy mutt.”
“That’s now.”
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…?
