The thought of how they had terrorized Mijoo made Siyun want to throw a punch. However, he preferred the satisfaction of seeing them tremble under the law for a long time.
“In fact, we’re not the only ones at fault here. She was working and earning money. If you report us, the immigration office will investigate, and it will be a hassle for her too. It won’t be good for anyone.”
“Threatening me with such nonsense!”
Siyun growled in a low voice. He opened Mijoo’s passport again.
There was nothing illegal about her visa or passport, but it was puzzling why Mijoo was so scared and frightened. Yet, when he thought about how terrified she must have been when threatened by these imposters, his heart felt heavy.
“I’ll check it further.”
Denny took the passport from Siyun’s hand to examine it, then laid it back in front of Siyun.
“There’s nothing wrong here. This visa fully allows campus jobs. No illegalities at all.”
Realizing the situation was against them, the man and woman bowed their heads and groveled.
“How bad is it, Mr. Kim?”
The fraudsters perked up their ears more at Siyun’s question than Denny’s answer.
“Impersonating immigration officers and attempting extortion. It won’t end easily.”
Denny leaned in towards the fraudsters as if to ensure they heard him.
“If you have a prior record, you might not see the outside world for up to 10 years.”
“10 years seems too lenient. Hand over the rest of the passports.”
Siyun extended his hand, but the man looked at him as if not understanding.
Siyun then reached into the man’s vest pocket. The man tried to resist, but couldn’t overpower Siyun, and soon Siyun pulled out several more passports from his pocket and laid them on the table.
“Ah…”
The fraudsters’ sighs lingered long as Denny went through the passports.
“Really despicable. All these are passports of female students. You specifically targeted them to extort and scare.”
Denny held up the passports and smacked each fraudster on the head.
“Targeting houses where people would be easily scared, extorting money. You rascals!”
Denny, still not appeased, glared at the fraudster man and woman and then spoke to Siyun.
“They thought the victims wouldn’t report them because they knew their addresses. They’re real criminals. I’ll take care of this properly.”
“Let’s handle it so that the victims don’t suffer more.”
“Yes.”
Denny, a prominent law firm attorney who always acted as Siyun’s right hand and didn’t hesitate to run errands, assured with a steadfast expression, and Siyun, holding Mijoo’s passport, stood up.
“Ah, Denny. I’ll send the contract later today.”
Finally, Siyun could deal with the marriage contract he had been contemplating, and Denny smiled lightly in anticipation.
On his way home, Siyun’s mind was heavy with thoughts.
‘Why am I insisting on a contract marriage?’
Initially, it was out of curiosity. Mijoo was a woman of a different resolve than the women he had known, which sparked his interest.
And with the immediate need for marriage, he had proposed the contract marriage to Mijoo.
But now, he desperately wanted to make Mijoo his woman, not just through a contract, but genuinely. In just a few days.
‘But why am I hesitating!’
The timing wasn’t right. Now that Mijoo had revealed her situation as an orphan, if Siyun expressed his feelings, she might misunderstand them as pity.
The best course for now was to push forward with the contract as initially planned and let Mijoo gradually warm up to him over the year.
Resolved to obtain her signature on the contract today, he headed home.
Upon returning home, Mijoo ran out to him, dragging her injured leg.
‘Is this what it feels like?’
Like a loving wife greeting her husband or a child waiting for their father.
Or perhaps like a pet dog excitedly running to its owner.
Every time he entered an empty house, only sensor lights welcomed him. But seeing Mijoo’s bright face greeting him made his heart ache.
Unaware of his thoughts, Mijoo grasped Siyun’s hand.
“What’s this?”
Siyun looked down at the hand she had grabbed.
“I was worried you wouldn’t come back.”
“Well, it’s my house, why wouldn’t I come back?”
“That’s true, but… I just felt that way.”
Siyun felt a pang of empathy, understanding the emotions with which she had waited for him.
“Were you worried when I left without saying anything?”
Mijoo nodded silently in response.
“Don’t worry, it won’t happen again.”
Siyun squeezed the hand she held. Now, it was as if Mijoo was caught in Siyun’s grasp. He gently felt her wrist.
“How’s your wrist?”
“It seems better.”
“Let’s go to the hospital later.”
Mijoo didn’t resist but nodded her head.
“Let’s go inside. We need to settle things.”
“Settle?”
“Either repay the debt or write the contract. We can’t delay any longer.”
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…?
