Chapter 40 I Miss You [Please Read On]
"Yeah!!!"
The crowd cheered as the live stream concluded perfectly, with nearly 300 million viewers online simultaneously. The group's fame began to spread overseas, and backend statistics showed hundreds of thousands of IPs from Europe and America – a good omen.
"Everyone's salary will double this month!"
Shin Won-soo waved his hand; at that moment, he was God.
"Wow~ Thank you, President!!!"
"Everyone has worked hard tonight. You're all given a day off tomorrow, so go home and get some rest."
"Yes, goodbye, President!"
Soon, only Shen Yuanxiu, Lin Yuan, and Li Zhien remained at the scene.
"My two great contributors, what kind of reward would you like?" Shen Yuanxiu said with a smile. "Double your salary isn't much. How about I buy you a car? I'll pay for it myself."
The two exchanged a glance, smiled, and shrugged. Lee Ji-eun didn't say anything, letting Lin Yuan make the decision, since the man is the one who takes care of things.
"No need, President-nim, it's just what we should do."
Lin Yuan politely declined. He had only driven his new car for a few days, and his godmother had also given him another one. Li Zhi'en also had several cars of her own, so he simply couldn't drive them all.
"Haha, you rascal." He thought for a moment, "Well, a friend just gave me two tickets to the Burj Al Arab. How about I give you guys a few days off to go have some fun?"
Lee Ji-eun happily accepted it without paying any attention to Lin Yuan's expression.
After Shin Won-soo left, he finally spoke up, saying, "How about we give the tickets away?"
"Huh?" Lee Ji-eun was taken aback, then her expression changed drastically. "Oh, are you disgusted with me? Is it embarrassing to go out with me?"
He hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't shout, sit down and I'll tell you slowly."
"snort!"
Lee Ji-eun sat down angrily, turning her head to one side.
"Have you forgotten that this hotel belongs to our family?"
!!!
Lee Ji-eun shuddered, thinking to herself, "Damn it, I was so happy that I completely forgot about this."
She turned her head and gave an awkward smile. "Um..."
"Hehe~"
Lin Yuan gave a fake laugh, then turned his head away and ignored her.
Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun quickly stood up, squatted down in front of him, and looked at him pitifully. "Don't be angry~ I really forgot, and... I just wanted to go out and have some fun with you. Last time I was delayed because of Sulli's matter. I just wanted to take this opportunity to apologize to you. Please forgive me, okay?"
This is awkward. So that's what the little girl was thinking. He thought...
"Wait a minute, let me contact Mom."
Lin Yuan took out his phone and made a video call.
The video call was quickly answered, and Mom Jin Meilan said impatiently, "What is it? I'm busy!"
Just as he was about to speak, Li Zhi'en snatched the phone away. "Hello, Aunt Meilan~" Her voice was sweet and soft. Lin Yuan felt a pang of unease. He had never seen Li Zhi'en treat him like this before.
"Oh, it's Xiao En~" Jin Meilan pushed away the mahjong tiles. "I'm not playing anymore, my wife called me. We'll play again next time." She then walked into the study.
"How have you been lately, Xiao En? That brat hasn't been bullying you, has he?"
Lee Ji-eun glanced smugly at Lin Yuan, raised an eyebrow at his silent plea, and said with a smile, "He didn't bully me, it's just..."
not good!
Lin Yuan's expression changed; the little girl had actually betrayed him.
Jin Meilan's tone turned cold: "Hmm? What is it? Speak freely, and I'll stand up for you!"
"I want to go on a trip, but he... he's a little reluctant."
'Hoo~'
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Meilan relaxed and said, "Traveling is great. The young couple should go out more often. Your uncle and I are waiting to hold our grandson."
Lee Ji-eun blushed deeply, her shy expression quite adorable: "Auntie~"
"Little En, it's time to change how you address me."
Kim Mi-ran laughed and joked.
"Mom~"
"Oh, so cute."
???
Lin Yuan was speechless. They've become a family? Should I stay under the car or stand outside the door? It feels like these two are the mother and daughter, and he's the outsider.
"Mom~"
He called out as well.
"Get lost!"
"oh."
Well, I got scolded for nothing.
He got up dejectedly and went outside, finding a corner to light a cigarette, making some space for the mother and daughter.
When he returned, the call had already ended, and Lee Ji-eun was smiling at him. "You're back! Come and sit down."
Lin Yuan was taken aback by her enthusiasm and sat down timidly. Feeling something was amiss, he moved to the side, but unexpectedly, Li Zhi'en also sat down next to him.
Even after being cornered, Lee Ji-eun continued to slowly approach him, even lifting her body to press against him.
He quickly raised his hands in surrender, "Stop, I agree."
Are you sure?
"I'm sure!"
Lee Ji-eun then let him go and sat back down.
.....
"We're going on vacation, not moving house. Is it really necessary to bring so much stuff?"
Lin Yuan looked at the three suitcases on the ground and felt a headache coming on. He couldn't understand why so many things were needed.
Lee Ji-eun was squatting on the ground, still stuffing things into the container. "Bring me the hairdryer," she said, completely ignoring his words.
"Sigh~"
He reluctantly went into the restroom.
'Buzz buzz buzz'
My phone vibrated in my pocket; it was Joo-hyun Noona calling.
"Nuna".
Bae Joo-hyun's gentle voice came through, "Xiao Yuan, congratulations! I watched your live stream last night, it was great!"
"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Nuna," Lin Yuan replied happily. "Did Nuna call for something?"
Bae Joo-hyun suddenly fell silent on the other end of the phone.
He waited a while and, finding no sound, thought the phone was broken. He took it off and shook it. "Nuna? Can you still hear me?"
Just as he thought something was wrong and was about to hang up, Bae Joo-hyun's voice came softly, her tone low: "You haven't replied to my messages. Have you been very busy lately?"
Lin Yuan was taken aback. He hadn't been using Kakao lately and was still getting used to the app. He usually contacted people by phone if there was anything, so he had no idea that Bae Joo-hyun had sent him a message.
He said apologetically, "Mianye, I haven't been watching Kakao lately. Does Nuna need to talk to me about something important? I'm free now, so please just say it!"
Bae Joo-hyun hesitated for a moment, "I...I wanted to ask if you're free, it's been so long since we last saw each other."
From the moment she first saw him, Lin Yuan's image was etched into her heart. Every day, besides work, she spent all her time looking forward to their next meeting, but alas...
Lin Yuan understood her meaning and was caught in a dilemma.
He's already with Lee Ji-eun, and his mother has agreed to let him change his address, which means she's approved of the marriage.
Logically, he shouldn't continue to be entangled with other women, but Bae Joo-hyun is his blind date.
Sigh, this is a bit tricky.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Bae Joo-hyun guessed what had happened. Her nose tingled, and she forced back her tears. "I'm sorry, Xiao Yuan, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Nuna..."
Lin Yuan wanted to explain something, but the call had already been disconnected, so he gave up, took the hairdryer back to his room, and tidied up with Li Zhi'en.
"Waaaaah~"
Bae Joo-hyun finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears, her tears soaking her pillowcase.
