Tomorrow was Kang Hyun’s birthday. On her way home from work, Yoon picked up a cake she had preordered.
“Madam, have you arrived?”
Cheol Yeong, who was arranging Kang Hyun’s gift in the living room, greeted her as she walked in.
” I have returned. But, are all those Kang Hyun’s birthday presents?”
Yoon asked, her eyes wide as she looked at the presents that filled the living room.
“Yes. I have only brought gifts that the CEO can use immediately.”
Gifts for Kang Hyun’s birthday sent by fans from home and abroad had filled the office since a while ago. Kang Hyun’s fan club would make donations in his name on his birthday, but individual fans had sent gifts like this.
“I’ll help you.”
“I’ve almost finished arranging them. Madam, you should go and rest.”
“Has Kang Hyun not arrived yet?”
“The CEO has an evening appointment with a sponsor, so he might be a bit late.”
“I see.”
Yoon skimmed through the gifts sent by the fans. There were cosmetics, perfumes, neckties, and even clothes of various kinds.
‘There are even handkerchiefs.’
Yoon had stopped by a department store a few days ago on her way home from work and bought a handkerchief as his birthday gift, so she particularly noticed the handkerchiefs.
‘Should I have bought something else?’
However, whatever else she might have bought, it seemed like it would have overlapped in the end.
“Does Kang Hyun have a shoot tomorrow afternoon?”
“Yes.”
“Then, I will go upstairs.”
After greeting Cheol Yeong, Yoon went upstairs, stopping by the hamster room for a moment.
‘Still asleep, huh?’
When she had peeked in briefly last night, the hamster had been cheerfully running in its wheel. But as she approached, predictably, it hurriedly hid inside its house and showed no sign of coming out.
‘When will I get close with our hamster?’
‘It seemed like Dochi was particularly shy.’
‘Someday, he’ll open up.’
Yoon filled the food bowl with mealworms and carefully closed the door to avoid waking Dochi from his nap.
Back in her room, Yoon took out the gift for Kang Hyun that she had neatly wrapped and kept in her desk drawer.
It was a handkerchief she had painstakingly chosen at a department store because she wanted to give him a new one, having received a handkerchief from him ten years ago.
‘The handkerchiefs from the fans seem prettier.’
As the saying goes, ‘the grass is always greener on the other side,’ Yoon’s handkerchief somehow looked plain.
Ding!
It was a message from an unknown number.
Ding!
This time, it was a warm picture of the two during a past ad shoot.
‘What?’
This was the same type of message and picture she had received a few days ago. She had thought it was a wrong message then and had simply deleted it.
‘Who is sending me these things?’
Once could be a coincidence, but the fact that they sent it again suggested some intention. And the person sending these seemed to know she was married to Kang Hyun.
‘How did they get my number?’
Kang Hyun and Jung Ha Na had previously been in a public relationship. Therefore, pictures of them together still floated around on the internet.
The picture sent to Yoon was a fairly famous paparazzi shot from their dating days. It was strange that someone was sending her a picture that was already widely known.
Yoon wondered for a moment if she should let Kang Hyun know, but then deleted the message and picture and blocked the number.
‘Kang Hyun is already so busy these days.’
Kang Hyun was so busy with the final stages of filming and production work that he could have used ten bodies. Thus, she decided to talk to him after the shooting was over.
Ding!
When her phone vibrated again, Yoon was startled and checked the caller. Fortunately, it was a call from Ok Soon.
“Yes, Grandmother.”
It’s Cha’s birthday tomorrow, isn’t it?
“Yes.”
Is Cha so busy that he even has time to receive a birthday meal?
“Fortunately, we’re shooting in the afternoon tomorrow, so I think we can have breakfast at home.”
Is that so? It’s good that it’s Saturday and you don’t have to go to school. It’s his first birthday since we got married, so you should at least make him seaweed soup.
“Yes.”
After finishing her call with Ok Soon, Yoon went to shower and get dressed. After her shower, she sat at her dressing table and patted on the basic skincare product Kang Hyun had given her while looking in the mirror.
‘Give up baby lotion to babies and apply this instead. It’s amazing that your skin is good even without applying this.’
The gifts he gave her were gradually increasing. Kang Hyun seemed restless if he couldn’t buy something for her.
He often bought and gave her accessories, but after finding out their price, she was so nervous that she couldn’t move. She refused them, saying it would be okay if he stopped buying them now, and he seemed disappointed.
Since Yoon didn’t have anything to give Kang Hyun, she decided to prepare a warm birthday meal for him the next morning. Yoon opened the door and went into the kitchen.
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…?
