Knock knock
With the sound of a knock, Director Kim entered.
“Please check the issues that have come up while you were not here.”
When he opened it, there were a pile of issues that had come up.
“You said to only accept urgent ones.”
“I only received the ones that need to be approved today. They must be approved today.”
The corporate acquisition issue that had been put on hold for a while was brought up again. He had spent the morning outside due to ongoing meetings and surveys, and he had just arrived at the office without even having lunch.
After Director Kim left, Do Ha pressed the intercom to connect to Secretary Yoon.
“Can I have a cup of coffee, please?”
The room felt a bit stuffy. Staring at the monitor, Do Ha unbuttoned his shirt sleeve and rolled it up.
If he didn’t hurry, he would be leaving work late again today. He was worried about Hyun Seo’s condition and thought he should go home early today.
Lately, he had been incredibly busy as Chairman Chae started to step back from the business.
It was too early for him to prepare for retirement. Since he sent away Seo Ha, he felt like he was starting to let go one by one, perhaps he was shocked.
While he was buried in approval issues and working hectically, his cell phone vibrated.
It was a call from Hyun Seo. His wife, who hadn’t been calling him lately. He was glad to get a call from his wife, who seemed to be drifting away more and more these days, but he was also worried.
Strange. What’s going on?
When are you coming home today?
“I won’t be too late than expected.”
His wife, who doesn’t usually ask such questions, it was unusual.
I have something to say. I hope you’re not too late.
Do Ha paused for a moment, but soon answered.
“Alright.”
I’ll be waiting.
After the unusually serene words of his wife, the phone call ended. Do Ha briefly looked down at the phone screen he had taken away from his ear.
It was a bit strange to ask for time by phone when they could talk at home at any time unless it was a special occasion.
What could be going on?
He felt weird. He couldn’t erase the growing unease about his wife’s recent demeanor.
For some reason, he kept feeling a chill down his spine.
Young Suk, who was leisurely sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, noticed Hyun Seo coming down the stairs.
She promptly stood up as if she had caught him at a good time and pointed at Hyun Seo and shouted loudly.
“What time do you think it is, lying down all day and coming down now?”
Hyun Seo moved towards the kitchen without any response or excuse to his motherinlaw Young Suk’s words.
He had nothing to fear since he had decided to leave this house. There weren’t many days left to hear that annoying voice.
Young Suk wanted to grab the hair of Hyun Seo, who passed by without even looking at her as if ignoring her. However, she held back, thinking of Joo Hyuk’s tea money. Instead, she yelled at the back of Hyun Seo’s head.
“Hey! But did you send money to Joo Hyuk? You had to send it in the morning, if you haven’t, send it now.”
“What money?”
Hyun Seo then turned around and asked innocently.
“What do you mean what money. It’s the money to buy a car for your nephew.”
“Nephew? Did Dong Seo already have a baby?”
“What?”
Young Suk blinked in surprise and stammered.
“This may sound a bit odd, but you ride a car after you’re born.”
“Do you want something wrong with your grandnephew? Why do you talk like that?”
“Why are you skipping the conversation?”
He was about to say, “If you think a child who hasn’t even been born yet is so pretty, you should have treated our Seo Ha prettier too,” but stopped. It seemed worthless, only likely to cause his own mouth pain, so he stopped.
“And mother, I don’t owe my husband any debt. Why should I send money? Did you entrust money to me?”
The motherinlaw looked a bit taken aback by the usually obedient daughterinlaw who was not so obedient for a change. And she even had the nerve to be sassy.
“Did I say to send your money? Can’t you send the money that Chairman Chae and my eldest son have earned?”
Hyun Seo smirked with a lift of one corner of his mouth. It was somehow amusing to see Young Suk, who couldn’t spend a penny of her own money, loudly claiming it was the money Chairman Chae and her eldest son had earned.
“Then you send it, mother. If the Chairman and your son have so much money, why are you asking the daughterinlaw, who has nothing, to do so?”
Hyun Seo spoke in a teasing tone and turned around as if he didn’t want to say more.
That’s when it happened. As he was heading towards the kitchen, something whizzed by his ear with a whooshing sound.
Clang
A loud noise rang in his ears. Highquality bone china fragments were scattered on the floor.
Surprised, he turned around to see Young Suk glaring at him, chirping. Judging by the saucer in her hand, it seemed she had thrown the coffee cup.
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…?
