Finding it fascinating to see such a man flustered, Seoyeon, who had been staring at him intently for a long time, turned her head.
“I’ll get off.”
With a wrinkled forehead, Seongjun followed her off.
Seoyeon, who was looking around the quiet hospital parking lot, clasped her two hands together. It didn’t seem like she was dreaming, and the unbelievable events happening now felt like reality, but she still didn’t have complete certainty.
If she wakes up from parting like this in a dream, she will miss the chance to talk to Seongjun. It was better if it were a dream. She wanted to talk to him a little longer, hear his voice, and know his thoughts.
“Are you going back to the company right away?”
“Sure. I have a meeting in an hour.”
“Then let’s go up together.”
“What?”
“I don’t want to go up alone. You said you have an hour to spare. Invest 30 minutes in me.”
“…….”
“Do you hate wasting time?”
Seongjun’s eyebrows twitched, and deep wrinkles formed on his forehead. Maybe she shouldn’t have said the later part. It might have sounded like mockery contrary to her intentions.
Feeling that he might dislike her tone, she thought of retracting her earlier statement, but she couldn’t. She already knew Seongjun’s personality and tendencies too well.
He valued time the most, and most of his time was invested in work. Conversations with Seoyeon were always the last option he chose.
Then, what should she say for him not to refuse? Should she pretend to be in pain even though she didn’t feel like it?
Even if she actually complained about dizziness, fever, and pain, it wasn’t a lie, but somehow, she didn’t feel inclined to do it.
Then what should she do?
While Seoyeon was contemplating, she heard Seongjun’s voice from nearby.
“If you don’t come, what will you do? I said let’s go together.”
“Ah.”
He gestured towards the elevator. Seongjun, who she thought would definitely refuse, was walking ahead.
Although Seoyeon was inwardly surprised at Seongjun’s unexpected choice, she cautiously got on the elevator without showing it.
And she fixed her gaze on Seongjun.
High bridge of the nose, angular jaw crafted as if carved, and cold eyes.
Seongjun, dressed in a carefully tailored black suit, looked flawlessly elegant and perfect.
Seoyeon raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Every time she had formal dates before marriage, Seoyeon often found herself looking at her husband, losing herself in her past naive and awkward emotions.
Ironically, for him, it was a formal date to smoothly proceed with their arranged marriage, but not for Seoyeon.
As memories of her past innocent and clumsy emotions that quickly fell in love surfaced, she suddenly came to her senses.
The bewildered Seoyeon quickly turned her head.
Then, she put on her expressionless mask again.
Seongjun’s gaze, who noticed Seoyeon’s movement of secretly looking away and turning her head when he did so, became slightly displeased.
Seongjun received a message from the housekeeper about Seoyeon collapsing after lunch.
Already not looking well since last night, Seoyeon seemed unwell.
After Seongjun’s position within the group plummeted due to the scandal concocted by Han Jeonghyuk shortly after their marriage, he had been tirelessly working to restore his standing.
Eating time aside, even sleeping time seemed like a waste.
Because of that, under normal circumstances, he would have sent someone to check on his wife’s condition and instructed them to take her to the hospital. However, for some reason today, he wanted to check on his wife’s condition directly. So, he postponed whatever could be postponed and visited home.
However, his wife’s condition was worse than what he heard from the housekeeper.
Her skin was pale, and her forehead felt like a burning rock.
“Hanseoyeon.”
In fact, he intended to call someone after seeing her face, but unconsciously, he called her name. It was because of a strange thought that she might never wake up forever.
“…Mr. Seongjun?”
Perhaps it was because of the fever that made her absent-minded. When she opened her eyes, unlike usual, she looked directly into Seongjun’s eyes without avoiding his gaze. It felt strange that his wife, who had always been busy avoiding his gaze, stared straight at him.
“Feeling frustrated?”
Even if he didn’t say it harshly, suggesting that she should be fine without saying much, that they could endure without going to the hospital, he felt a bit unjust when he received the treatment of someone who was frustrated from his wife, who always received his words of frustration as if they were nagging, even though he made those remarks instead of nagging.
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…?
