In Seunghyun’s face, who read the plea in her eyes, a triumphant smile spread. He spoke into the phone.
“No, nothing. I just said it because I was worried that Hyung has been absent for too long. Please don’t worry about it.”
That guy who left on his own, why bother worrying? You just focus on your work. If Seung Joo keeps coming out like that, won’t you have to take over the company?
Seunghyun held the phone to his ear and gestured towards Eunseo. Did you hear?
“Anyway, Father, I’ll see you at home later.”
Okay. I heard it’s going to rain later, be careful driving.
Exiting the restaurant, Seunghyun escorted Eunseo to his car. Then, while driving her, he continued the conversation.
“Meet me. If you do, I won’t talk to Father until Hyung returns to the company, and I’ll quietly wait.”
The woman who failed in bluffing was now listening to Seunghyun’s words with a resigned expression.
“Of course, if you can’t handle the work properly after returning and get pushed out of your position, I can’t do anything about that. After all, how can a kid handle work at the company…”
“Seungjoo is not a kid.”
Eunseo interrupted.
“He didn’t turn back to eighteen; he just lost his memories after turning eighteen. He’s relearning about work, so he’ll do well.”
“So, you needed the data for that.”
Seunghyun replied, smiling inwardly. Ah, he was eighteen?
In fact, he had never known exactly how old his brother was. He thought at least he was under eighteen since he couldn’t remember the concubine he met when he was eighteen.
“Do I have that much value as a woman?”
Eunseo suddenly asked.
“I can easily drive my brother out of the heir position right away, and you’re willing to give up on that?”
“Of course.”
Seunghyun answered sincerely.
He knew Kwon Seungjoo too well. Even if the company he worked so hard to revive was taken away from him, he would never shed tears in front of him, let alone cry in the back.
But if it was this woman, he would never be able to do that.
“Even if you’ve lost your memory, Kwon Seungjoo is still Kwon Seungjoo. I’ve never seen my brother look at someone with such lovely eyes. No, I didn’t even know he was an individual who could make such an expression.”
“…”
“So, when I found out that he lost his senior to me, I really wanted to see what expression he would make.”
He wanted to see that face right away. Probably, the thrill of that moment would be… much more satisfying than taking over the company.
“Seungjoo, no, President Kwon Seungjoo, what exactly did you do wrong to your younger sibling? Your mother passed away, your father was taken away, and instead, you became a victim, didn’t you?”
Seunghyun laughed.
“It’s revenge for ruining my seventh birthday.”
Eunseo looked confused, but Seunghyun didn’t explain further.
“I wonder if I’m such a great person that I can be revenge for Seungjoo.”
“Oh, don’t worry about that.”
The woman, who didn’t properly know her own value, seemed absurd. Perhaps, even if she told her to die, Hyung would try to die with dignity in front of her.
“I also have conditions.”
Eunseo straightened her waist.
“I’ll meet you, but I’ll refuse to sleep with you.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t like it.”
The woman seemed unapologetic about the hatred that arose in her eyes.
“If you want to sleep with me, make me want it from my side.”
“Hey, senior. It’s not the time to act so arrogantly, is it?”
“Or are you so unsure about yourself that you would forcibly attack a woman who clearly says no?”
While the challenging eyes looked unpleasant, Seunghyun found himself strangely attracted to it.
Always seeing women who naturally fall for my charms, this type was a first. If she wants to sleep with me, she told me to make her want it. Although it was absurdly arrogant to bring up a topic that had nothing to do with anything, upon second thought, if Kwon Seungjoo was risking his life for this woman, then it was indeed worth it.
‘Well, I guess you have to act this arrogantly to make it fun to conquer again.’
It felt like finding another source of amusement.
How would this woman feel when she willingly nestled in my embrace? Just imagining it, the area around my waist was already tingling with excitement.
In the end, Seunghyun nodded.
“Sure, let’s do that.”
Seunghyun started the car.
“Since it’s late, I’ll take you home.”
Throughout the drive, Eunseo didn’t say a word.
“What did you tell your brother? Did you say you were working late?”
The woman confirmed it with silence.
As they approached Yoon Eunseo’s home, a large silhouette sitting alone at a dark bus stop caught Seunghyun’s eye. Even though he easily recognized who it was, he nonchalantly increased the speed and passed by. He felt Eunseo’s breath hitch as they passed by.
Sneaking a glance, her expression remained indifferent, but the small hands on her knees were tightly clenched until the knuckles turned white.
Must be tearing her heart apart. Seunghyun found it delightful.
Once they parked in front of her house, the woman hurriedly got out of the car as if afraid Seunghyun might kiss her.
“Good night, senior. Sweet dreams!”
Without waiting for a response, Eunseo ran into the house.
Seeing her disappearing figure, Seunghyun burst into laughter.
While it was true that he had thoughts of taking that woman first, he had no intention of not taking over the company.
Naturally, he planned to take them both. That woman and the company.
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…?
