If she came into Siyun’s broad embrace, she could block the cold and loneliness, but this girl stubbornly insisted on her own way, appearing like a less mature child who needed to be taken care of.
Siyun decided not to wait but to press Miju into his arms. He turned Miju around to face him.
“Since it seems like Miju values the contract quite a bit, and we are still in a contractual relationship. Right?”
Before saying more, Siyun looked at Miju as if confirming her intentions. Miju nodded slightly in agreement with Siyun’s words.
“So, let’s talk about the contract. There’s a confidentiality clause in the contract, right?”
Miju’s forehead creased. After Director Kim, now Siyun also doesn’t trust her. When she said she would let Siyun go, she hesitated to say the wrong things, but now, hearing the words ‘confidentiality,’ she feels even more disheartened.
“So, I’ll return the contract without any secrets leaking.”
“Go? Where do you think you’re going, breaking the contract!”
As if she couldn’t go anywhere, Siyun grabbed Miju’s waist, pulling her in front of him and continued speaking.
“Breaking the contract?”
“Grandfather didn’t know we had a contractual marriage, but Miju revealed it this morning, breaking the confidentiality clause and informing Grandfather of our contractual relationship.”
An expression of surprise appeared on Miju’s face. She thought Siyun had already told Director Kim the truth, and she spoke the truth, thinking she could no longer deceive Director Kim. But now, it’s considered a breach of confidentiality.
“I thought Director already knew everything, and I was just responding because I couldn’t lie anymore.”
“No. Grandfather, based on my uncle’s words, was just guessing that our marriage wasn’t ordinary, and some money was exchanged for marriage and the honeymoon. But you went and explained everything.”
“I must have been crazy!”
This time, it seemed like a real disaster, and Miju couldn’t look directly at Siyun’s face. Siyun lifted Miju’s head, making eye contact.
“In case of an early termination of the contract, you only need to return the deposit. But for violating confidentiality, there’s a penalty, remember?”
Whether he really wanted to take money or not, Siyun’s expression and tone were too serious, and Miju seemed on the verge of bursting into tears. But she suppressed the voice of crying and asked.
“Ho… How much is it?”
“Three times the money you received. It’s quite a small amount, considering it’s three times. And depending on the situation, there might even be a civil lawsuit.”
It seemed impossible, and Miju shook her head as if to say that’s impossible.
“Of course, I acknowledge that it’s an unavoidable situation. So, let’s agree that there won’t be any penalty or lawsuit for confidentiality breach.”
She doesn’t have to pay a penalty? Miju, with a glimmer of hope, raised her head.
“I can return the deposit. I haven’t used any of it; it’s still intact.”
“You didn’t use any of it?”
Since she was with Siyun, there was no need to unnecessarily empty her bank account, and using the deposit always weighed on Miju’s mind.
“I lived using the card Siyun gave me.”
Whether it was this money or that money, it all came from Siyun’s pocket, but stubbornly insisting not to use the deposit seemed meaningless.
“I won’t accept it unless it’s three times as written in the contract.”
Why does he insist on saying such frightening things? Miju, who has become a debtor, feels weak in the legs. Trying not to fall, she clung tightly to Siyun, who also held her even more firmly.
“If you can’t give three times, pay back with something equivalent.”
“How can I?”
“Like this.”
Siyun lowered his head, bringing his lips close to Miju’s face. As if urging her to kiss him, he only scattered warm breath, stimulating Miju.
“Three times the deposit… What do I do?”
“Then I’ll have to get it myself.”
As if he had already planned it, Siyun bowed without any hesitation, lightly brushing Miju’s lips with his own.
As Siyun’s warm and soft lips touched, sensations throughout her body became sensitively tense. However, Miju, trying not to succumb to Siyun’s stimulation, gathered her strength.
Miju, stubbornly keeping her lips closed, felt Siyun gently press her cheeks, parting her lips.
‘No matter what, I tried to block it…’
But already skillfully opened, Siyun’s hot breath invaded between Siyun’s lips.
Siyun, as if trying to scold Miju’s lips, which had uttered unpleasant and hurtful words, relentlessly invaded and repeated the encroachment.
To push away the incessantly pressing Siyun, Miju raised her hand. Gripping his firm shoulders and chest, trying to push, she could only feel Siyun’s hot muscles through his shirt and jacket. There was no sign of him retreating.
Rather, such touches from Miju stimulated Siyun even more.
Grabbing Miju’s hand on his chest, Siyun moved Miju’s hand like putting stamps all over his body.
With lips hot, fingertips tingling, and mind fading away, Siyun swore to retreat for Miju’s sake.
Her lifelong reliance was thought to be only her firm mental strength, but in front of Siyun, she felt insignificant and collapsed miserably.
For Miju, who was struggling as if her breath was about to give out, Siyun momentarily released his lips. As fresh air flowed in through the slightly parted lips, Miju’s chest repeatedly rose and fell. Yet, he didn’t forget what he wanted to say.
“Just now, how much was this?”
In response to Miju’s question, Siyun grabbed Miju’s chin as if excited, shaking it lightly.
“Calculating money while being with me. You’re a completely bad woman.”
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…?
