Thinking back, she had unleashed a tirade of harsh words. How angry must he have been to follow her home right after regaining consciousness?
“Uh, are you feeling better now?”
She asked timidly, and Kwon Seungju looked at her intently.
“Thank you for saving me.”
Eunseo bowed deeply. While her resentment for being evicted before the contract ended hadn’t completely dissipated, she couldn’t deny he had saved her life.
“I’m sorry for being so rude that day. I am grateful for the years I lived comfortably in the house and…”
She intended to finish with a quiet goodbye, but couldn’t complete her sentence.
“Who are you?”
Kwon Seungju’s unexpected question stopped her.
Thinking he was being sarcastic, Eunseo’s heart dropped. It was as if he were saying, ‘Who are you to talk to me like that?’
After being so rude, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was considering firing her. Already facing eviction, losing her job would be devastating.
“I’m really sorry. I was too angry and out of my mind that day.”
Eunseo bowed deeply again, but he seemed full of suspicion.
“Why are you here at my house?”
Defending her tenancy rights, Eunseo timidly retorted.
“Well, it’s about to be demolished, but until then, it’s legally mine as a tenant…”
He reacted violently to her first words.
“Demolition? Who decided to demolish?”
Now playing dumb? Eunseo’s anger began to rise.
“What do you mean? You ordered it, Mr. CEO.”
“My father?”
Suddenly, he became angry.
“Tell my father clearly, I’m not going to enter his house because of this. It’s my house given by my grandmother. He has no right to touch it.”
“What?”
Confused, Eunseo asked again.
“It’s the house my grandmother gave me. If he wants to demolish it, let him try. I’ll pitch a tent here and wait for my mother.”
Eunseo couldn’t understand a word. He had ordered the demolition himself, so why was he suddenly involving the chairman?
The only thing Eunseo could discern was the apparent hostility on his face. It was a different kind of fierceness from his usual cold demeanor, making her feel intimidated.
“Um, I don’t understand what you’re talking about… your father?”
It was then that Kwon Seungju asked, seemingly puzzled.
“Aren’t you my father’s secretary?”
His question seemed so out of place, and with no hint of joking, Eunseo felt a sense of foreboding.
“No, I’m not.”
The large man then appeared flustered, awkwardly bowing his head.
“I’m really sorry. I thought my father sent you to take me back…”
Eunseo was the one who was shocked.
Bowing to me? Kwon Seungju? To me?
Why was he acting like this? As she stared in surprise, he cautiously asked.
“Um, sister, I’m sorry to ask, but could I borrow your phone? I lost mine.”
Eunseo was still reeling from his earlier statement to register his request.
“Sister?”
“I need to call my school to say I won’t be in today.”
As Eunseo remained frozen, Kwon Seungju asked again, seeming uneasy.
“Sister?”
Though he spoke as if it was the most natural thing, Eunseo felt like her hair was standing on end.
A whirlwind of thoughts passed through her mind.
“Uh, I’m really sorry to ask this, but… may I know how old you are this year?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, the large man replied.
“I’m in my second year of high school, eighteen years old.”
Even though her eyes were open, everything seemed to darken for Eunseo.
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…?
