The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 132 The Truth in the Heart (12)

"Can't come?" Pei Yongjun looked at Quan Enfei.

"Yes, I am." Quan Enfei raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her voice trembling slightly, "I'm sorry."

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Ah."

"what's up?"

"It's just, um," she blinked, trying to adjust her voice, and her tone gradually became natural, "It's just that there are a lot of things going on."

"I have to prepare for the judicial examination and graduate school, so it's really too busy."

"Also, in the past few months, I feel that I am not suitable for being a journalist, so, just..." She glanced at Pei Yongjun quickly, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"Have you decided not to come?"

"...Yes," Quan Enfei nodded, "I was planning to tell you in a few days, but since you asked, I have no choice but to tell you now."

She forced a relaxed smile. "You're not going to be angry, are you?"

"There's nothing to be angry about. Since it's not suitable, you can try another place." Pei Yongjun nodded to show his understanding.

"Oh, that's good. I'm sorry." It seemed that Quan Enfei didn't dare to look at him again. She looked away, lowered her head, and stared at her tangled fingers.

"Then, the things you left at the newspaper office..."

"I don't have anything, I'll just ask Senior Zhicheng to send it to me."

"Okay, I'll have the finance department settle your internship salary as soon as possible. December will be considered full attendance."

"Thank you, thank you, Team Leader Nim." She said dryly, "Then, I'll be leaving now."

Pei Yongjun watched her push open the car door and get out, then stand on the side of the road. However, she did not walk away, but stared blankly at the car window.

"Anything else?" He rolled down the window.

"I..." Quan Enfei opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just forced a smile, "Nothing, please be careful on the road."

"Okay, thank you." Pei Yongjun nodded, "I'll be leaving first."

"Okay." Queen Eun-Princess Kwon bowed deeply.

The car drove away.

She stood alone by the road, and the cold wind of the winter night made her shiver all over.

Her black hair fluttered in the air, and hot tears burst out of her eyes, sliding down her cheeks. Then, in an instant, they were blown cold by the wind, sliding along her neck into her clothes, cold and wet.

Passersby looked at this beautiful girl in high-end clothes crying at the subway entrance. Some people pointed and talked from time to time, but no one stopped.

After crying for a few minutes, Quan Enfei gradually stopped crying. She lowered her head and walked along the road towards her residence in a daze.

Dudu~
Suddenly, a car horn sounded beside her and she moved to the side of the road.

Dudu~
The horn was still honking, so she gave way again, leaned against the roadside wall, stopped, and waited for the car to pass.

The car didn't go by, but stopped instead.

"Ah! Where are you hiding?" A familiar voice came, and Concubine Kwon Eun-bi suddenly raised her head.

Pei Yongjun was standing next to the car.

"Team Leader, nim?!" She opened her eyes wide, "Why are you here?"

"Something was left in the car." Pei Yongjun lifted the bag in his hand, walked around the front of the car and came to her side, "Your clothes are still here."

This is the suit that Kwon Eun-bi changed out of, which she left in the car.

"S-Sorry," Kwon Eun-bi took it and bowed deeply to Bae Yong-jun, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"Crying?" Pei Yongjun looked at her slightly red and swollen eyes.

"No." Concubine Quan shook her head.

"Hmm?" Pei Yongjun hummed.

"...I cried. I'm sorry, Team Leader-nim." She answered honestly.

"Is this a farewell? Why do you keep saying sorry?"

"I'm sorry..." Quan Enfei answered subconsciously, but suddenly realized, "Thank you."

"One more thing," Pei Yongjun pulled out an envelope from his pocket, "New Year's Day is almost here, it's time to give out some bonuses."

"No! I don't want it!" Kwon Eun-bi shook her head, "I don't want it." "You rent a house by yourself, right? Use it to pay the rent before you find your next job." The brown envelope was held in Pei Yongjun's broad and strong hands, right in front of Kwon Eun-bi, and his steady voice was in her ears.

"Why are you so nice to me?" She looked up, her eyes filled with timidity and suspicion. "I can't help you in any way, I can't do anything right, I'm useless, I don't deserve your kindness."

"And, and..." She hesitated for a long time before continuing, "and I'm really sorry for you."

"Don't be so nice to me. It will make you sad."

"What's the matter?" Pei Yongjun asked.

"I..." It seemed as if thousands of words were stuck in Concubine Quan's throat, but she couldn't say a word.

"I'm sorry." These were the only three words she said at last.

Pei Yongjun looked into her eyes and said, "Eunfei, whether it's worth it or not is not for you to decide."

"I think it's worth it, because you really did me a very important favor."

"Me?" Queen Kwon's eyes suddenly widened.

"Yeah." Pei Yongjun nodded.

"What is it?"

"It's a secret." Pei Yongjun raised his finger and shook it left and right. "So, just consider this as a reward for your help."

"Take it."

He handed her the envelope.

She looked at the envelope, then at Pei Yongjun, raised her hand and slowly took the envelope, "Thank you."

"Well," Pei Yongjun waved his hand, "I'm leaving, you should go back early."

"Oh." Quan Enfei looked at him steadily, "Please be careful on your journey."

"Yeah." He turned and walked towards the cab. Just after taking two steps, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and then suddenly, a soft body attacked from behind.

Her white and tender hands passed from his ribs to the front, but she was a little flustered and didn't know where to put them.

Concubine Kwon hugged him.

"Hmm?" Pei Yongjun snorted.

"Can you please not look back?" Kwon Eun-bi's somewhat flustered voice came from behind.

"Yeah." He responded.

"Maybe one day you'll know what I did. By then you'll probably be very disappointed and angry with me. Please feel free to scold me."

"No matter how you scold me, I have failed you. I'm sorry." Her hot breath hit Pei Yongjun's back. She hugged him tightly and said seriously, "I will try my best to return all the money to you."

"No more?" Pei Yongjun asked.

"Ah."

Concubine Quan slowly released her hand and stood still.

Pei Yongjun turned around and looked at her slightly red cheeks. "Workplace harassment?"

"...Just take it as it is." Quan Enfei pouted, "We're leaving anyway."

"Can't I just give you a hug?"

"sorry."

"Alright," Pei Yongjun waved his hand. "Instead of saying sorry, you should work hard to earn money and buy this outfit first. That way, even if I'm angry, seeing the money you brought might make me feel better."

"Okay, Team Leader." She nodded honestly, "I will try my best."

"Okay, I'm leaving." Pei Yongjun looked at her again, walked to the driver's seat, got in the car, started the car and left.

In the rearview mirror, Quan Enfei stood there, staring blankly at the car driving away.

Bae Yong-jun looked at her figure, and Lee Seung-ri's complacent voice echoed in his mind.

[Ah, idiot, do you think I would still hide those things here now? ]

[I've already hidden myself in the basement of Yu Zhihao's house. You'll never find me.]

【Want to fight with me? Hahahahaha...】

This was the most secret in Lee Seung-ri's heart that he heard in Lee Seung-ri's box tonight after he used up the fragment of truth provided by Kwon Eun-bi.
