The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 244 Kiss Me If You Miss Me

The wine is mellow, the people are beautiful, the room is warm, and the little feet in the palm of my hand are white.

Bae Young-jun grabbed Lee Ji-eun's slender ankle and refused to let go.

"Still not letting go?" Li Zhien smiled and looked at him sideways, "I didn't know you had such a hobby."

"Hey," she moved her brittle legs, and her round, pink toes poked Pei Yongjun's chest. She teased him by fiddling with the buttons on his shirt, and her toes rubbed his strong muscles in the gap between the shirts, "Then..."

She leaned forward, blinked at Pei Yongjun, and opened her red lips slightly, "Can I give it to you?"

Their eyes met, their movements moved, and their fleshy little toes rubbed against their chests, making them feel itchy.

In the huge suite's living room, hormones surged, and the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Pei Yongjun smiled and said, "Okay."

He reached out and pressed the little foot in his hand down, but Lee Ji-eun's expression suddenly changed.

"Ah~" She quickly retracted her legs. "What are you doing? Let's get down to business. Shirley finally fell asleep."

"I thought this was business." Pei Yongjun rubbed his palm, as if savoring the smooth and soft touch of the calf skin in his palm just now. "A man and a woman alone, what business is there?"

"Hey," Li Zhien made eye contact with him, her breathing stagnant, as if she was afraid that he would go wild and pounce on her. She quickly moved to the side and sat cross-legged on the other side of the sofa. "Don't play dumb, aren't we talking about that KBS thing?"

Just now, the two of them were on the balcony of the banquet hall. Lee Ji-eun asked him what plans he had for KBS through Hangang Sports, but Choi Sulli broke in.

Lee Ji-eun had been thinking about this matter all the time, and only now did she find the opportunity.

"You can pretend to be drunk, but can't I pretend to be stupid?" Pei Yongjun smiled and walked over to sit beside her.

He was kissing Choi Sulli on the sofa when something soft suddenly touched his thigh from the side. Although Lee Ji-eun pretended to be drunk, it could only be her kick.

"If I don't interrupt you, I'm afraid you'll strip Sulli naked right there and then." Li Zhien rolled her eyes at him, pretending to be disdainful. "It's okay to look at Sulli, but I don't want to look at you."

"You've already eaten..." Pei Yongjun couldn't help laughing.

"Ah! Don't say that!" Li Zhien's defense was instantly broken, and she glared at him in embarrassment, "Be serious!"

Pei Yongjun nodded, pursed his lips and put away his smile.

"Sulli, what a jerk! She insisted on getting me to drink with her when she got home. Otherwise, would I have to pretend to be drunk?"

"Luckily, I know how to avoid alcohol. I changed the bottle while she was in the bathroom, otherwise she would have gotten drunk." Li Zhien exhaled, folding her arms over her chest, a puzzled expression on her face. "It's really strange. Is she so happy today?"

Pei Yongjun blinked.

In order to help herself solve the problem, Sulli actually forced her dear Ji-eun to drink.

He felt touched.

Shirley, you really tried your best. I don’t blame you tonight. If I have to blame someone, blame the bad woman for being too scheming. Let’s drink her down together next time!

"Or..." As Lee Ji-eun was speaking, she looked at Bae Yong-jun who had a strange expression on his face, and suddenly understood.

"Oh, she made me drink, isn't she waiting for you?" She opened her eyes wide, a sense of betrayal welling up in her heart, although she couldn't tell whether she was betrayed by her good sister or by the bastard.

Obviously, I am the bad woman, but why do I feel so bad?

She suddenly realized that she might have crossed the line.

【Liu Zhien, you like me. 】

Pei Yongjun's words on the phone echoed in her mind again.

Myself, am I...

Crossed the line.

"Well, this room has a nice view." Pei Yongjun pointed to the night view of Seoul outside the window, which was brightly lit and looked like a galaxy. "It makes sense to meet up to see the view together, doesn't it?" "It makes sense." Li Zhien's tone turned cold. She crossed her legs and the smile on her face disappeared. "Then let's finish this quickly. You can go and accompany her."

"I can just sleep on the sofa. Remember to close the door tightly so I don't hear anything."

"She's asleep," Pei Yongjun smiled, leaned closer to her, and stretched out his hand to hold her fair shoulders. "Can I watch it with you for a while?"

But Li Zhien stretched out her hand to block him.

"No need, we are not in a relationship where we can enjoy the scenery together."

"What's the relationship?" Pei Yongjun asked, looking at her evasive eyes.

"It's a cooperative relationship. You help me get my freedom back, cooperation." Lee Ji-eun emphasized again, as if trying to convince herself not to cross the bottom line she set for herself.

"Cooperation," Pei Yongjun stopped trying to hug her. He rested his right hand on the back of the sofa, propped up his chin, and asked playfully, "You get freedom, but what do I get?"

"I can give you money, and if you want, I promise that I will like you during this period." Li Zhien paused and added, "At least you feel that way."

"Promise? Feeling?" Pei Yongjun raised his eyebrows, realizing the key point in her words.

"Well, not only am I good at singing, I'm also good at acting, and..." Lee Ji-eun suddenly smiled, her delicate features showing a charming smile.

She came closer, placed her thin, fiery lips on Pei Yongjun's cheek and kissed him gently, whispering in his ear, "Superb acting skills."

Pei Yongjun turned his head, looked into her eyes, and suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Lee Ji-eun frowned slightly, not knowing what Bae Yong-jun meant.

"It seems that you have begun to have confidence in me and are willing to spend time to deceive me." Pei Yongjun said.

Li Zhien's expression changed slightly, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, you didn't have faith in me before. It wasn't so much that you hoped I could help you regain your freedom, but rather that you wanted to drag me down with you. When the time came for Yu Qinghao to take away all your freedom, you wanted to drag me down with him and die together."

"So you don't care what I do, as long as I'm a good reporter and you can keep me in your clutches."

"is not it?"

Pei Yongjun asked.

There was something wrong with his initial contact with Lee Ji-eun.

IU told him almost nothing. Perhaps she was desperate at the beginning and had no other choice, so she thought of using him as a last resort.

However, as the two of them interacted, especially the scene tonight, he felt that something was quietly changing in Lee Ji-eun's heart.

Bad woman, if you really fall in love with me, don’t regret it.

Li Zhien was silent for a moment, looking at him with complicated eyes, and nodded after a while, "Yes, you don't blame me?"

"Being used is better than being ignored," Pei Yongjun said. "The fact that you're asking me what my plans are means you're starting to have confidence in me and are truly planning to regain your freedom."

"Really? Like you said, it's already 1% liked."

"Although it's only 1%, it's a good start."

"Yes, you really surprised me tonight, so I decided to start trusting you." Lee Ji-eun nodded.

"Then we are qualified to cooperate?" Pei Yongjun smiled and stretched out his hand, indicating a handshake.

"Yes, I'm getting serious." Li Zhien didn't shake hands, but leaned forward and kissed his lips, winking playfully, "I'm not a man, why should I shake hands?"

"Editor Pei, I'm a woman."
