A guard, pulling out Choi Jun Young’s phone from his pocket, opened recent call records and placed it on the glass table.
“I talked with my group. I have a recorder with information about the instructions I received from the person you’re looking for. If you ensure I can safely leave the country, I’ll hand it over.”
“You’ve got the order wrong. Who instructed you comes first.”
“Just promise me first, damn it!”
Unable to contain his temper, Choi Jun Young shouted and fumed.
“I’ll do as you wish, so tell me.”
“Seo Won Entertainment’s President, Gu Se Jun. That bastard asked me to take care of Seo Ji An. Seemed like his mistress. Said he’d call her over early in the morning, so I waited for days and caused the accident as instructed.”
“But when I hit her, it wasn’t Seo Ji An.”
Choi Jun Young swallowed dryly, nodding. The woman wasn’t Seo Ji An, and he had also hit the man accompanying her.
They didn’t dare go outside once they knew the man involved in the accident was the heir to Seo Won Group.
“It was a mistake, damn it! They looked identical, so we naturally thought…”
Before Choi Jun Young could finish, Kang Hyun, who had been listening silently, suddenly lunged at him. Seok Won couldn’t catch him in time as Kang Hyun pounced on Choi Jun Young, who had fallen backward, and grabbed his thick neck.
“A mistake?”
“Wait, wait…”
Kang Hyun, pressing down on the struggling Choi Jun Young, narrowed his eyes as red veins popped in the whites.
“You said it was a mistake?”
Startled by Kang Hyun’s unprecedented behavior, Seok Won stretched out his arm hurriedly.
“Executive, let go. Executive, brother!”
Seok Won, along with the guards, pulled Kang Hyun away and pushed him back onto the sofa.
“Calm down. You know better than anyone this isn’t the way to solve it…”
Muttering cliché advice, Seok Won eventually retreated, unable to continue in front of Kang Hyun’s painfully twisted face.
Drunk on purpose or overwhelmed by the burning sensation in his stomach, Kang Hyun slowly regulated his breathing and calmed his rage.
“How did you know it wasn’t Seo Ji An?”
“Gu, cough, Gu Se Jun contacted me. He sounded quite flustered but said he’d handle it.”
“And after that?”
“I don’t know. About a year later, I was contacted to surveil Seo Ji An.”
Choi Jun Young, coughing continuously, scratched his reddened neck.
Despite the terror of Kang Hyun’s tightening grip, he ironically found Kang Hyun somewhat human for the first time.
Kang Hyun, having suppressed his anger, stood up, straightening his disheveled clothes.
Choi Jun Young’s gaze involuntarily followed him.
“I said what’s important to me isn’t Seo Ji An, but Han Seo Yoon.”
“…”
“But what you’ve been meddling with wasn’t Seo Ji An, but Han Seo Yoon.”
“What do you mean…”
“The negotiation was impossible from the start.”
Kang Hyun, picking up the phone on the table, turned and headed for the entrance.
After pushing through the thick door, Choi Jun Young’s frantic cries echoed behind like a haunting echo.
On her way back to the restaurant, Ji An, who had given in to Kang Hyun’s insistence on wearing his coat, arrived at the office with the coat sprayed liberally with fabric freshener and packed in a shopping bag.
“Good morning, Manager.”
Ji An, brightening up to greet, subdued her voice upon noticing Seok Won sitting in front of a still dark monitor, his expression somber. The atmosphere, usually quiet, felt oppressively heavy today.
“Yes, welcome.”
Feeling awkward and trying to make as little noise as possible, Ji An put down her bag and picked up her tablet and shopping bag before pressing the intercom.
“Executive, shall I report today’s schedule?”
[Dash]Yes.A businesslike tone, starkly different from yesterday, made Ji An’s shoulders droop. It wasn’t about blurring personal and professional lines, but she just felt drained.
Knock Knock [Dash].
Entering the executive office, Ji An quickly approached the executive desk.
“Did you get home okay yesterday?”
“Yes, and you?”
Closing the document cover, Kang Hyun looked up at Ji An, who stammered and then averted her gaze from his.
Feeling an undeserved sense of disappointment, the words that had fluttered in her heart disappeared.
“And you.”
Just this brief reply caused a drumbeat to resound through her spine.
“I, I got home fine too.”
Barely squeezing out her voice, Ji An touched her cheek, feeling hot and throbbing.
It felt like a post-date conversation between lovers. It was no longer just a delusion or misunderstanding.
“I didn’t have a hangover, and I had breakfast. How about you, Executive?”
Kang Hyun paused to think.
Should he say his stomach was upset and he hadn’t eaten anything, would she try to take care of him? Or would he look too foolish?
He somewhat wanted to appear pitiful.
Maybe in a far-off future, on that eventual day, these moments would remind her of him, and the kind-hearted her might choose to stay by his side.
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…?
