“Buongiorno.”
Now proficient in Italian greetings, she was warmly welcomed by the owner, who recognized her as a regular customer.
“Please give me the taste I always order.”
“Just wait a moment.”
The owner added fresh red strawberries on top of the tiramisu in a small box and handed it to Yeonju.
“I’m here.”
“Just a moment.”
Yeonju opened her crossbody bag and took out her wallet. As she examined the contents of her wallet, she realized with a sigh that she had depleted all the money she brought while buying the book at the bookstore earlier.
Yeonju usually carried a moderate amount of money in her wallet each day. It became a habit after being pickpocketed three times since coming here.
“Oh… I’m sorry. I don’t have enough money. Next time…”
It was when Yeonju was about to apologize with a regretful expression.
“How much is it?”
A deep voice came from behind. The owner, glancing at a young man proficient in Italian, replied.
“9 euros.”
“No need for change.”
The man put the wallet in his suit jacket and received the packaged tiramisu. He then handed it to Yeonju.
“You don’t even have 9 euros in your wallet?”
Mockingly, the man who spoke was none other than Jinwook. Yeonju wasn’t surprised by his appearance; she already knew he had been following her all the way to the bus stop. It was hard not to notice when he blatantly followed her.
Receiving the tiramisu, Yeonju spoke with a low voice.
“I’ll pay you back.”
“Why bother paying back? My money is your money, and your money is my money.”
It meant why should a married couple repay each other. Yeonju raised one eyebrow as if she found his words unpleasant. Watching her expression, Jinwook said,
“Why the face? Strictly speaking, I’m the one at a loss.”
“Then stop before you incur more losses.”
Yeonju replied coldly and turned away. She started walking towards the bus stop.
Afterward, Jinwook followed her again. Despite her blatant and cold reaction, he seemed unaffected.
Whether shameless or not, or if he had a head injury, Yeonju couldn’t tell. He walked alongside her as if taking a leisurely stroll.
“What’s that guy doing?”
Suddenly, Yeonju stopped at the abrupt question. As if asking what he meant, she looked at him. Upon seeing her face, Jinwook spoke again.
“That guy, Song Minwoo or something.”
“Don’t you recognize him? He’s a museum guide.”
“I’m not asking about that. I’m asking about your relationship with him.”
Unable to understand the intention behind the question, Yeonju couldn’t answer, and Jinwook spoke first.
“Close?”
“Yes. We’re close.”
With an easy response, Jinwook’s gaze narrowed. Given Jinwook’s mindset, it was impossible for an adult man and woman to be close unless they had mutual affection.
Already feeling uneasy with Minwoo’s strange gaze towards her, hearing Yeonju say they were close heightened her anxiety.
Jinwook spoke seriously.
“Could it be… It’s not what I’m worried about, right?”
“…”
“You’re still legally my wife. If you meet someone else now, it’s considered an affair.”
What is he saying, really…
In addition to following her around, he was now spouting nonsense about affairs. Unimpressed by his behavior, Yeonju rolled her eyes. Finding it challenging to continue ignoring him, she said,
“Aren’t you busy?”
“…….”
“Have you put off your work at the company?”
Even during meals, the person who used to look at documents, the one who disliked wasting time the most—Yeonju couldn’t understand why this person had been here until now. Especially enduring neglect and rebuff from me.
Frustrated, Yeonju raised her voice.
“Just until when are you going to keep following me like this?”
Without hesitation, Jinwook replied in a firm tone.
“Until Kang Yeonju’s heart comes back.”
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…?
