Peninsula: I, a chaebol! I will never follow hidden rules.

"You are my little apple, and I can never love you enough. Your rosy little face warms my heart and lights up the fire of my life, fire, fire, fire, fire..."

"Little Apple" is a popular song sung by the Chinese film, television and music group Chopstick Brothers. It became a hit soon after its release in July last year, and it became a global hit!

Tara also covered this song in November last year.

A few days ago, Lee Chae-ryung and Lee Chi-xuan went from Yongin to Paju to see the injured Park Min-young. On the way, Lee Chae-ryung and Lee Chi-xuan agreed to learn a Chinese song to sing for him.

After much choice, Li Cailing chose "Little Apple", a song that became popular last year and has a catchy and easy-to-learn melody.

The melody of this song is easy to learn and you can get the hang of it after listening to it a few times, but the Chinese pronunciation is a bit difficult. Li Cailing practiced for more than a week before she felt that she had no accent when singing.

She has almost finished practicing, but how can she find an opportunity to sing it for Li Zhixuan?

After thinking about it, she found that there was only one way for her to see Li Zhixuan, and that was to visit Park Min-young.

Only by visiting Park Min-young did she have the chance to meet Li Zhixuan.

But if she came alone, she was worried that Park Min-young would discover her ulterior motives. This is called a guilty conscience.

So she called Shin Yuna to join her.

What surprised her was that she came to visit Park Min-young today, and Li Zhixuan also came to accompany Park Min-young tonight!

Is this such a coincidence? Is God helping me?
This made the child so excited! He was afraid to sleep at all!
After waiting for Shin Yuna to fall asleep, it was already midnight, and Li Cailing took out her cell phone to send a message to Li Zhixuan.

[President Li, are you asleep? I've done what I promised you. Would you like to come check on me?]

What was it? She didn't say anything because she was worried that Park Min-young would see the message.

Anyway, if Li Zhixuan saw this message, he would naturally know what Li Cailing was talking about.

But what if Li Zhixuan fell asleep and didn't see it, but Park Minying saw it. In the future, when Park Minying asked her about it, she didn't specify what the specific matter was in the message, so she would have room to make up a lie.

[Stop overthinking and go to sleep. I have a tip: Hi! Girl will be adding several strong contestants soon, so you'd better focus on the competition. Otherwise, if you don't make it to the finals, don't blame me for not warning you.]

Huh? This! We've already reached the semifinals, and suddenly they're adding more contestants? What's going on?
There are already quite a few contestants, and if a few strong ones are added, won’t my chances of reaching the finals be reduced?

He rejected me! Did he guess how I felt about him? It was over! Will he avoid me from now on? Will he think I'm a vixen?

Li Cailing couldn't sleep, worrying about her future and her love.

But she only suffered from insomnia for less than an hour, and then she fell asleep with a slight frown and a soft snore.

More than half an hour later, Shen Youna, who was beside Li Cailing, woke up. She was not awakened by her snoring, but by thirst from eating too much kimchi for dinner.

My throat is so dry that it hurts a little, and there is no saliva in my mouth. If I don’t get up and drink some water, I will die of thirst!

In order to avoid waking up Li Cailing, Shen Youna did not turn on the bedside lamp. Instead, she turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone, then got out of bed and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

After leaving the room, she went straight to the kitchen, took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the lid and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ah~"

After drinking a bottle of cold water, Shen Youna felt alive again. Then, she took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and prepared to take it back to her room. If she woke up from thirst again later, she wouldn't have to go to the kitchen to find water.

"Drinking ice water in the middle of the night might cause diarrhea."

"ah!"

Suddenly someone spoke, which scared Shen Youna so much that her hair stood on end. She turned around hurriedly and found that the lights were on on the balcony of the living room.

Maybe she was in a hurry to go to the kitchen to get some water, so she didn't notice that Li Zhixuan was sitting on the rattan chair on the balcony of the living room.

"You! Uh...why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shin Yuna was frightened and was originally very angry, but when she thought about the other party's identity, she could only bear it.

Seeing that she was angry but couldn't vent, her cheeks flushed from holding it in, Li Zhixuan couldn't help but laugh and replied, "I can't sleep, so I'm here thinking about life. I'm not a very particular person. In private, we don't need to use honorifics, just plain language will do."

No need to use honorifics? That's great!

Then, Shin Yuna took another bottle of drink from the refrigerator, walked to the balcony, and placed the drink on the small coffee table next to Li Zhixuan.

"People of your class still need to think about life?"

"Of course, if you don't think about the future, you'll have immediate worries. This has nothing to do with your social class."

Hearing this, Shin Yuna became even more curious: "Do you have long-term concerns? Or short-term concerns?"

Li Zhixuan smiled, picked up the drink, unscrewed the lid and took a sip: "You won't understand even if I tell you, let's talk about something else."

Upon hearing this, Shen Youna was unhappy: "You look down on me, don't you? Why don't you tell me? How do you know I don't understand without you even saying anything?"

Okay, then tell me about it.

"South Korea has a typical export-oriented economy. Any little disturbance in the world will cause a headache for South Korea. If a local war, economic war, or biological war breaks out in the future, how will South Korea's economy be affected, and how can I plan ahead?"

"Uh……"

An export-oriented economy? This war, that war? Planning?

Shin Yuna felt that these words were almost like heavenly scriptures.

I really don’t understand!
Shin Yuna blushed and smiled awkwardly: "Hehe~ Why do you say it seems like the third war is not far away?"

Li Zhixuan nodded and gave her a reassuring look: "Don't worry, at your age, not to mention you, your parents can see it."

Huh? You're saying something so horrible in a soothing tone?! Are you kidding me?
Shin Yuna sat down on the rattan chair on the other side of the small coffee table and said with a pout, "Let's talk about something else."

Her brows were slightly furrowed, her pink lips were pouting high, as if they could hold a small oil bottle, and her big watery eyes were full of resentment.

Seeing her so cute, Li Zhixuan resisted the urge to pinch her face and said with a smile, "Stop chatting. It's already midnight. Go to sleep quickly."

Shin Yuna didn't move: "President Li, do you dislike me?"

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Li Zhixuan explained: "No, I just felt that it was getting late."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Shin Yuna waved her hand, then looked Li Zhixuan straight in the eye and asked, "I secretly followed you before and even spoke rudely to you in your office. Do you really not blame me?"

Hearing this, Li Zhixuan was a little surprised: "How long has it been since this happened? Are you still worried?"

Shin Yuna shook her head, frowning in confusion. "It's not that I'm worried, it just feels unreal. How are you different from the legendary chaebol?"

"Haha!" Li Zhixuan was amused: "What kind of person do you imagine me to be?" "Well..." Shen Youna hesitated and didn't dare to say it.

She didn't dare to speak, so Li Zhixuan had to speak for her: "He treated you like toys and tortured you for fun in various ways. He appeared to be a human being, but inside he was a pervert."

"Uh...well." Since Li Zhixuan had made it clear, Shen Youna felt that there was no need to be embarrassed to admit it.

“People like you imagine do exist, and the degree of perversion they play is beyond your imagination.

But I am not that kind of person. I have had many women, but none of them were seduced by me. We all got together because we liked each other.

Of course, it’s mainly because they pursue me, because I prefer to be passive.”

After saying that, Li Zhixuan took another sip of his drink with a smile on his face, seeming quite proud.

Seeing this, Shin Yuna immediately turned into a curious baby again and asked, "But aren't you worried?"

"worry about what?"

"Of course I'm worried that some people are only with you because of your money and power."

"I also want them to be young and good-looking."

Li Zhixuan didn't care about Shen Youna's worries at all: "It's unrealistic for two people to be together without wanting anything from each other. Besides, they haven't asked me for anything, and what I give them is what they deserve. And..."

Having said that, Li Zhixuan paused, looked at the night sky outside the window, and a hint of apology appeared in his eyes.

"And what?"

Li Zhixuan smiled apologetically. "Besides, so many of them followed me alone. From a love perspective, I owe them something. I should give them some compensation."

How could such words come out of the mouth of a chaebol son? At this moment, Shen Youna suddenly felt that most of her previous understanding of Li Zhixuan came from her own imagination.

Not only did Li Zhixuan not "play" with women, but he also treated his women with sincerity.

He is actually a pure love warrior? ! ! !

Shen Yuna was shocked, and suddenly thought of something, then stared at Li Zhixuan and frowned.

"President Li, um... there's something I want to say, but I'm not sure if I can say it."

Seeing her cautious look, Li Zhixuan gave her a gentle smile and nodded, "Go ahead."

Shin Yuna was still worried: "Please don't get angry after I finish speaking, okay? If you don't like to hear it, just treat it as nonsense."

Li Zhixuan was now curious. What exactly did Shen Youna want to say? Why did she stack armor like this?

"I promise I won't be angry, just tell me."

"Have you... been lacking love since childhood?"

Although Li Zhixuan promised that he was not angry anymore, Shen Youna still spoke cautiously.

After she finished speaking, she saw Li Zhixuan staring at her in a daze, and then his brows furrowed.

Seeing this, Shen Youna's heart tightened. She hurriedly stood up and bowed: "I'm sorry! I was just talking nonsense! Just treat it as a fart!"

Li Zhixuan finally came back to his senses and said quickly, "Not really, I'm not angry, please sit down."

"Whoo~"

Seeing that Li Zhixuan didn't look angry, Shen Youna finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. Then she saw Li Zhixuan looking at her curiously and asked, "Why do you think I lacked love since I was a child?"

Li Zhixuan had indeed lacked love since childhood! Before he traveled through time, he was an orphan, without a father or mother. How could he not lack love?
But the question is, how did Shin Yu-na figure it out? Lim Yoona, Bae Joo-hyun, and Park Hyo-min didn't figure it out, so how did this little girl figure it out?

"It's like this. At first I thought you were the legendary chaebol, but then I realized you weren't, so I thought you were a scumbag. But scumbags usually dump their girlfriends when they get tired of them, but you don't do that. You seem to be very philanthropic, but it seems you don't know how to love people."

After hearing Shen Youna's analysis, Li Zhixuan couldn't help but raise his hand to interrupt her: "Wait a minute! I don't know how to love?"

Shin Yuna spread her hands and said, "How can two people in love tolerate a third person? Besides, you're not even the third person, are you? I'm afraid even thirteen wouldn't be enough. But it's not like you don't love them, so..."

"So what?"

"So I think you seem to be fickle and like many people. But in fact, you like to be loved. The love of one person is not enough for you. You like many people to love you. The more people who love you, the better."

At this point, Shin Yuna put away her determined expression and said with a wry smile, "Hehe~ Of course, these are just my guesses. Just treat them as nonsense."

Nonsense! She wasn't talking nonsense!
This is clearly a miracle doctor!
At this moment, Li Zhixuan finally understood that he was not a scumbag or a playboy at all, he just needed many people to love him!
I am just a big boy who lacks love. I just want many people to love me. Is there anything wrong with that?

Don’t you feel guilty about calling a poor man who lacks love a scumbag?
Haha! Isn’t this cleared? Isn’t this!
Seeing that Li Zhixuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, Shen Youna pouted again: "I know I'm making a random analysis. If you want to laugh, just laugh. There's no need to hold it in."

"No, I just feel happy."

Seeing that he still refused to admit it, Shen Youna immediately asked, "What's there to be happy about?"

"There's a beautiful woman chatting with me in the middle of the night. Isn't that worth being happy about?"

"Are you... flirting with me?" Shin Yuna's cheeks flushed and she felt shy.

Li Zhixuan shook his head and said seriously: "No, I was just praising you."

Do you think I believe it or not?
Shin Yuna quickly stood up and said, "I'm sleepy and going to bed. Good night."

"Well, good night." After being scared away by the little girl, Li Zhixuan curled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a smug smile.

The next second, Shin Yuna's surprised voice was heard from the bedroom corridor: "Huh? Cailing! Why are you awake too?"

Li Cailing didn’t sleep either?

Li Zhixuan turned his head and saw Li Cailing, with an expressionless face, walking out of the bedroom corridor and walked towards the door without stopping.

Seeing this, Shen Youna, who was following behind her, quickly asked, "Cai Ling, where are you going?"

Li Cailing didn't say anything and didn't stop.

"Ugh!"

Li Zhixuan sighed, then stood up: "Yuona, you stay with Minying, and leave Cailing to me."
