The peninsula is like a shadow

"what do you want?"

"I don't know. I don't want anything right now."

"You're here before you've made up your mind?"

Seolhyun didn't answer, but nodded, then hugged Li Yan's arm, pressed Li Yan with her legs, and moved a little before lying down next to Li Yan.

"Oppa, do you think that if people don't want anything, they won't have so many worries?"

What kind of question is this? Li Yan touched Seolhyun's hidden abdominal muscles. Yeonhee told herself that Seolhyun was a fool who was both timid and brave. At first, she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but now she may understand it a little. She understands that she is a fool. After all, she has been in the entertainment industry for so long, and she still asks such a stupid question.

"How can a person not have desires? You will be hungry every day and want to eat, so what to eat? Isn't this the simplest desire? If you only have rice cakes to eat, will you be satisfied?"

"I eat very little, oppa."

"Then can you keep eating rice cakes for a month or a year?"

"Oppa, who would eat rice cakes all the time?"

Xuexuan's body was pressed against Li Yan's arm, and she opposed Li Yan's idea in a coquettish tone. Li Yan touched her face.

"Rice cakes may be too simple, but many of the children we have helped have only eaten the most basic foods, potatoes, rice cakes, and kimchi. So, desire is something that cannot be eliminated. It's just a matter of whether you have the ability to achieve it. If you can achieve it, you can say you don't like it. If you can't, that's another matter."

"Oppa, you are so smart."

To be honest, there are not many people who praise Li Yan like Seolhyun. The words smart and Li Yan are rarely tied together. Li Yan couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, it was not Seolhyun that he met at first, otherwise he might still be the security minister of SM. Li Yan had a very strange feeling that Seolhyun would not urge him to have too big ambitions.

Of course, if it was just SM's security chief, maybe Seolhyun wouldn't care about him. This is a very realistic thing, and Li Yan accepts and understands it. Don't say that true love is invincible. At most, it may be like the relationship between Lee Yeon Hee and himself in the beginning.

"You should do something for the charity foundation first. Your reputation on the Internet is not very good. In the variety shows a few years ago, you were labeled as a man-loving person. If you work for the foundation for a while, your reputation will improve a lot. By then, people will speak for you. In Korea, reputation is still very important."

"I will listen to Oppa."

Maybe this is the true nature of Seolhyun. She is actually a very well-behaved, gentle, and a little lazy person. However, the external environment forces her to move forward. She goes back and forth between making progress and lying down. Now, she should work hard, but she doesn't work as hard as others. This is Yeonhee's summary of Seolhyun.

There is an obvious depression on Seolhyun's back, and it feels very comfortable to touch it with big hands. Looking down at Seolhyun's profile, perhaps this kind of woman is the beauty that will appear after victory. She will not deliberately ask you to do anything, she just stays by your side and enjoys the blessings brought by your victory.

There is nothing wrong with this. Li Yan does not think there is a big problem with this idea. It is like many people can share hardship with you, but not wealth. A woman like Seolhyun can share wealth with you, but she may not share hardship with you, because the more money she can make, the more she will help in a panic if you ask her to do too much.

He bent down and kissed Seolhyun's face, then held the weak Seolhyun and made her face away from him. Seolhyun would not refuse. This was her character. Even if it was a bit hard, she would try her best to be satisfied. So it is not true to say that Seolhyun is a woman without ambition.

Yeon Hee has left. Seol Hyun hugged Li Yan's arm tightly, enduring the joy that belongs only to her. She felt very fortunate, as if she had made the right choice in her life again. Maybe she could live without thinking for a long time again.

Li Yan is really a big man, he is successful, he is strong, he is even handsome. Seolhyun hugged Li Yan's arms tightly and arched her waist to cooperate. This time, Seolhyun must take control of her life.

Li Yan could guess what Seolhyun was thinking. He knew that Seolhyun was a very easy to satisfy person. At least her requirements were much lower than those of Xiao Miao and Yoona at home. Those two did not set any upper limits for themselves.

So it was time to go to work. After patting Seolhyun's butt, Seolhyun tried hard to get up. She wanted to check Li Yan's clothes. Li Yan just made some breakfast by himself. Seolhyun felt very derelict in her duty. She didn't collapse on the floor until she bowed to see Li Yan out. She was in a daze for a minute before she fell to the floor with a smile on her face. She kicked her legs happily, then immediately covered her head with her hands and made a cautious sound.

~~~
Basong envied his elder brother's mental state every morning. When he went out, he always had a relaxed expression and a smile on his face. Knowing that his elder brother had harmed the beauty again in the morning, Basong had to admit that there are chosen ones in this world.

"Brother, Okada said that the maritime business is very profitable recently. Do you want to add more boats?"

"What's profitable?"

Li Yan and Basong walked slowly. Li Yan looked at Basong curiously. The food that made Basong say so early in the morning must not be beef.

"There are people who want all kinds of supplies, from electronic products to daily necessities. I heard him say that many places don't have as much supplies as South Korea, and the prices are much higher."

"Didn't he smuggle rice a few days ago? What's wrong? Is he addicted?"

"I think Okada and Hwarang want to expand and even become a group."

After hearing Basong's description, Li Yan stopped, thought for a moment, and then continued walking forward.

"The group thing is a joke. A tall tree attracts the wind. Think about it in detail. Basong, do you know what the biggest problem of becoming a smuggling group is?"

“Staff expenses.”

Li Yan shook his head, waited for the elevator to open and walked in.
"It is easy to be wiped out. Funds now flow through loose channels. Once a group is established, funds will inevitably be pooled, which gives others the possibility of being wiped out. However, Okada's idea is very bold and feasible. I will study it later. Is there anyone following me recently?"

"There is another group, but our brothers are also keeping an eye on them."

"This is a vicious circle. We can't be sure who is staring at us. I guess the people we are staring at don't know why we are staring at them. Basong, do you think this is considered fighting with your eyes closed?"

"If we just talk about fighting, we will definitely win, but I'm afraid those bastards will play dirty tricks."

Li Yan nodded. This was the reason why he forced himself to show up to help Commander Xu. The only threat to Li Yan in Seoul was the army. As long as Commander Xu was safe, he would not be struck by lightning.

The existence of gangs and the like is nothing more than tiny flying insects under the powerful and violent attack of the army.

When he arrived at the group, he processed some documents as usual. His long work experience had taught Li Yan how to make comparisons. The data he had seen would emerge in his mind while he was working. Li Yan liked this feeling, which made him feel that he was doing real work, as if his life was full of knowledge.

The desire of illiterate people for knowledge is unimaginable to ordinary people. Li Yan concealed it well by pretending not to care, but he could not resist the temptation of formal clothes. So when he had the conditions to start wearing formal clothes, he only changed the color or style of his dress.

At home, Li Yan would wear comfortable sportswear or other home clothes, but when he goes out, Li Yan still likes to wear a well-ironed suit, which is the result of his hard work over the years. For Li Yan, whether it looks good or not is only one aspect, what is important is the meaning that the suit brings to him.

"Hold an internal meeting in a few days. Okada, Hwarang, and your subordinate, redefine the division of responsibilities and form three different smuggling groups. Try running them for a few days first, and then we'll see. The world is in chaos now, but everything will eventually return to order. While we're thinking about making money, we also have to think about losing money. Dividing it into three parts can be considered reducing risks." "Okay, big brother, I'll coordinate the time and I'll notify them of the specific time."

You still have to make money. If you don't make it, someone else will. Since you have such a status, there is no reason to give up.

[The Bank of Korea expects economic growth to be 2.4%, down from the 5% forecast in May]

【Compared with other developed countries, South Korea's inflation has stabilized significantly. 】

[Amid rising household debt and housing demand, the concentration of private sector credit in the construction and real estate sectors may indicate overheated investment, which could have a lasting negative impact on capacity and economic growth.]

[Exports increased by 18.5% year-on-year, and imports increased by 10.1%. The South Korean Ministry of Strategy and Finance believes that the recovery in exports has driven the recovery in domestic demand. ]

You need to read the economic news, at least to see whether your group's name appears on it. After all, as one of the few companies with strong share prices in the stock market, your group's name will always appear in relevant economic reports.

There was none today. Li Yan quickly scanned through the news and switched to entertainment news. People read this kind of news mostly for gossip, such as who is suspected to be in love with whom, or who broke up.

[Park Ji-yeon's husband is suspected of cheating on her, and hunting for beauties in a nightclub has led to divorce rumors! ]

This one is good, let’s take a look at this one first. Li Yan tugged at his tie, it’s time to take a break.

~~~~
Li Yan decided to go home today. The reason was simple: Joy's double eyelids had become a hot topic, and too many people commented on whether Joy's double eyelid surgery was effective.

As for those who criticized Joy for being a little fat and out of shape, Li Yan had to go back and comfort them. After all, Joy was pregnant. As the perpetrator, he had to have a good attitude and let Joy vent her anger. With her petty mind, she must be so angry that she would explode at this moment.

"What do they know? They say they miss the old Joy. That's ridiculous. They were the ones who said you would look better if you had big double eyelids. Ouni, these people are dissatisfied with everything. They must have had unfortunate family situations or been fired. They spend all day online just to vent and spread negative energy."

It was not easy to get Yeri to say this. With the help of Bae Joo-hyun, Li Yan took off his coat, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then returned to the living room.

Bae Joo Hyun was sitting on the sofa holding the child, Joy looked very stable sitting on the floor laying out playing cards, Yeri's expression was a little bitter, probably because she was at a loss for words, Li Yan smiled, walked over to Joy and picked her up,

"She was pregnant, but she was still bending over to play cards. She wasn't afraid of crushing the baby."

"It's only slightly bigger than a soybean. How could it possibly crush him?"

Joy did not resist and let Li Yan carry her to the sofa and sit down. She sat in Li Yan's arms for a few seconds before revealing her true colors.

"It's all my fault, Oppa. People on the internet are calling me fat, fat, fat. Why is it that my figure has remained basically the same during my pregnancy, but I've gained a lot of weight like I'm bloated."

How to explain this? I don't understand. Li Yan looked at Pei Zhuxuan for help. Pei Zhuxuan and Li Yan looked at each other and turned back to play with her son. Yeri couldn't be relied on. Li Yan could only bite the bullet and said,

"You are a little taller than Xiaoxuan, so you may have more water in your body."

"That's not right. Unnie and I are about the same size, so why did I gain so much weight when I was pregnant?"

Yeri, who had no vision, added something. Li Yan sighed and was just about to say something when Joy turned to Yeri and said,

"You are fat and short, and you ate a lot when you were pregnant. You are not fat, you have turned into a ball."

Joy was right, Li Yan admitted it in his heart, but there was no change on his face. Joy's attack power was too strong. The short one directly hit two people, and the fat one especially targeted Yeri. It seemed that Joy was very upset.

"Who is fat like a ball? I am not a ball. I work out every day."

"The more you practice, the wider it gets~"

"You are the fat one. Look at your bulging belly and your face is full of flesh. Oppa used to call you fat-faced, and it turned out to be true."

Yeri couldn't stand it anymore and started arguing with Joy with her hands on her hips. Li Yan had no choice but to kick Bae Joo Hyun's soft butt. If you don't come out, your two sisters will start fighting soon.

Pei Zhuxuan reached back and patted her son, holding him and saying,

"Yeri, come with me and pack up your things."

"Hmph~~"

Yeri followed Bae Joo Hyun away. Joy looked at the backs of the two and pinched Li Yan's face.
"Oppa, look, these two are teaming up to bully me."

Yes, yes, I saw it all. Li Yan knew he shouldn't continue this topic, so he touched Joy's face.
"Fool, only those who can't get what they want will slander. It's not enough for Oppa to like you. You are so greedy."

Joy's angry expression eased a lot. She moved in Li Yan's arms and leaned on Li Yan's chest.
"Oppa, do you think I'm heavy?"

"What does weight have to do with you? Besides, I think it's best like this now. You feel like you have some flesh on your body, not all bones like before. They don't know the benefits of your figure. If the doctor hadn't told me to be careful in the first few months, I would have wanted to hold you in my arms every night."

"Oppa, you won't sleep quietly holding me. You're just torturing me. I won't sleep with you."

After I got pregnant, my mood seemed to have improved a lot. Why am I so easy to comfort?
Li Yan felt that there might be something wrong with his feelings. If it were in the past, Joy would definitely hold her breath and wait for Yeri to come back to continue quarreling. Not to mention, if he had known that pregnancy would be useful, he would have let Joy get pregnant long ago.

But when Li Yan looked down, he saw Joy’s big double eyelids. Well, it wasn’t that they were ugly, they just looked unfamiliar. Joy’s face now looked like a different person.

Anyway, I made a profit, Li Yan comforted himself and gently touched Joy's waist.

Yeri was right, she has definitely gained weight, and her waist has become much thicker.

"Oppa, I don't know what's wrong with my waist recently. My waist used to be very thin. It must be caused by pregnancy."

Yes, yes, yes, a small soybean can make your waist so much thicker. What you said makes sense. (End of this chapter)
