Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 531 Sister, what are you thinking?

"To be honest, Hollywood, Disney, the one that invited me to star in an American TV series, do you know what it is? Star Wars!"

At the dinner table, Lee Jung-jae, drunkenly holding a wine glass, spoke loudly, his face beaming with smug satisfaction.

This year's AAA is just the prelude to a wave. Lee Jung-jae will win more and more prestigious awards in the future, sweeping the three major American television awards for Best Actor, and truly breaking into the mainstream American circle.

It's no surprise that Netflix's most popular series worldwide received this honor; Lee Jung-jae is riding high on success right now.

"To be honest, who could have imagined this before? Xuanhe, did you think about it before it aired? Did you think you'd win Best Actor for Squid?"

Lee Jung-jae laughed heartily, his face flushed from the alcohol.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk looked at Lee Jung-jae, smiled, and shook his head in agreement.

"It's amazing."

Lee Jung-jae let out a loud laugh, picked up his glass, tilted his head back, and downed the drink in one gulp, making a choked sound.

When Kwon Hyun-hyuk saw that Kim Ji-soo also wanted to raise her glass, he reached out and pressed her down, shaking his head slightly.

His fingers pressed against the back of his hand, the warm touch making Kim Jisoo stop moving, and she gently loosened her grip on the wine glass.

They're all seasoned drinkers who've been hanging out in bars for years. If they really had to keep up with the pace, Kim Ji-soo would definitely pass out.

"Xuanhe is busy with a TV series lately, right? What about Jisoo?"

Lee Jung-jae looked at the two sitting together and asked Kim Ji-soo with a smile.

Kim Jisoo smiled and said, "I'm preparing for the group's comeback, so I'm not appearing in any dramas."

"How could they do this? The company has gone too far."

Lee Jung-jae immediately chided, "It's already so good, how come there are still no new projects?"

Hearing Lee Jung-jae's reasoning, Kim Ji-soo maintained her smile, said nothing, and simply shook her head with a smile.

What could she say?

"Did Xuanhe see Tang Wei when he was filming a movie before?"

Quan Xuanhe nodded.

Hearing Lee Jung-jae say such things, Kim Ji-soo seemed to sense what he was about to say, pursed her lips, and lowered her head slightly.

"Between Tang Wei and Jisoo, who do you think is prettier?"

Lee Jung-jae posed this seemingly fatal question with a smile, but it was actually a question that anyone would answer in any way, and he was simply asked to answer in a way that would please Kim Ji-soo.

"Jisoo, of course it's Jisoo."

Without hesitation, Kwon Hyun-hyuk turned to look at Kim Ji-soo, who was bowing her head slightly. He then reached out and took her hand, gently holding her soft hand as if he were playing with his favorite piece of jade.

When Kim Jisoo saw him hold her hand, she didn't resist. She looked up and a slightly embarrassed smile appeared on her face.

"Wow...that's great."

"Luckily, I didn't introduce Xuanhe to my goddaughter back then, otherwise, things would have been in big trouble."

Lee Jung-jae seemed to be enjoying himself with the drinks, and at this point he said some things about his 'family'.

Lee Jae-yong's daughter, Samsung's little princess.

This is a very famous person. Although she herself is not famous, her identity is extremely well-known.

This made Kim Jisoo glance at Kwon Heonhyuk with a slightly puzzled look in her eyes.

What's going on here?

"You two weren't dating back then, right?"

Lee Jung-jae glanced at the two of them and said, "I just said it casually, so don't let it cause a fight between you two." He then laughed.

"Um"

Kim Jisoo faced Lee Jung-jae's gaze with a nonchalant smile.

As they drank more and more, they stopped talking about their relationship.

At this moment, Park Myung-goo raised his glass and spoke to Kwon Heon-hyuk, "How does it feel to win five awards this time?"

"They arranged for three awards to be given to you so you could stand out."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk was both amused and exasperated. "It'll probably go viral on social media. Winning three awards in a row is like putting me on the hot seat."

He probably knew that Park Myung-goo was behind this award ceremony, which generated hype and buzz, and would further boost the AAA's popularity.

The AAA awards ceremony is not as popular as MAMA or MMA in terms of Korean pop culture, and it is not as popular as the three traditional major awards ceremonies in terms of actors. It is neither here nor there, and it is not very useful except for being used as a clip for fans to watch.

"Well, that's already quite impressive. Let's take this opportunity to show everyone."

Park Myung-gu waved and smiled, then turned his gaze to Kim Ji-soo, who was standing to the side. Kwon Heon-hyuk noticed this and took the initiative to introduce the two of them.

"Let me introduce you. This is Director Park Myung-gu, the director of the Starnews news website."

"This is Kim Jisoo, no need for further introduction."

As soon as Kwon Hyun-hyuk finished speaking, Park Myung-gu smiled and nodded, then spoke to Kim Ji-soo: "Of course, I know who Ji-soo is."

Kim Jisoo wore a polite smile, but her face was flushed from the alcohol, and her eyes were misty and glistening.

"If I had known earlier, I would have asked Xuanhe to help me arrange more meetings with Jisoo. After all, it's not easy to collaborate with Blackpink these days."

Park Myung-gu naturally wanted to get to know Kim Ji-soo through Kwon Heon-hyuk, after all, the power of a top K-pop girl group is considerable, and for news agencies, this is a natural hot topic.

"It's okay, we can meet through Xuanhe if there's a chance in the future."

Kim Jisoo's answer was ambiguous, but it was clear that she was still clear-headed and knew who she relied on most in this situation.

"it is good."

Park Myung-gu smiled and nodded, raised his glass to clink with hers, and then drank it all in one go, smiling very warmly.

"You can drink less."

When Kwon Hyun-hyuk saw that Kim Ji-soo had also drunk her drink in one gulp without any hesitation, her actions quite bold, he frowned slightly.

He didn't want Kim Jisoo to drink too much in this kind of situation; for a girl, drinking too much is always risky, no matter what.

"It's okay, don't worry too much about me."

Kim Jisoo turned to look at him, her face flushed red, her big, watery eyes looking at him, and her smile at this moment had a kind of simple and silly charm.

How can this not cause concern?

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

As the dinner party came to a close, Lee Jung-jae urged the others to prepare for their next engagement, and when he looked at the two of them, he simply waved his hand, saying, "Seonhyuk, go back and take care of Jisoo first!"

Upon hearing this, Kwon Hyun-hyuk did not refuse. He nodded, turned to look at Kim Ji-soo, and reached out to help her up.

Kim Jisoo's steps were slightly unsteady, and she subconsciously grabbed his arm to steady herself, leaning against him briefly for a few seconds.

This embrace felt somewhat familiar to Kim Jisoo.

Kim Jisoo took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, smoothed the hair that fell beside her ear, and casually slung her bag over her shoulder.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk gave it one last look before leaving the private room with Kim Ji-soo.

Kim Jisoo walked beside him, feeling a little dizzy, and her steps were unsteady, as if her feet were stepping on cotton candy. She walked closely beside him, step by step.

"Next time, I'll find an opportunity to explain things clearly, so I won't bother you again."

Quan Xuanhe turned to look at her, slowed his pace, and walked slowly beside her, whispering his instructions.

The voice reached her ears, and Kim Jisoo felt a little confused, but she remained clear-headed. "Don't feel too burdened. I've also taken this opportunity to meet some other people."

Kim Ji-soo was very self-aware; if it weren't for Kwon Heon-hyuk, she wouldn't have been able to infiltrate this place, nor would she have had much interaction with him.

Being his girlfriend is something many people envy.

"Understood, I'll find a suitable opportunity to say it next time."

Upon hearing this, Kim Jisoo's eyes flashed with thought, but in the end she simply nodded silently.

"You still haven't told me what happened between you and Miyeon."

"Really want to know?"

Seeing her dazed and unsteady-looking appearance, Quan Xuanhe still couldn't help but ask him about this matter. He pursed his lips and asked again.

"Of course."

"And what did Lee Jung-jae say at the dinner table just now, about his goddaughter?"

Because she was curious about him, and wanted to know everything that followed, many of her other emotions faded away, and now her curiosity about him outweighed everything else.

"Me and Miyeon..."

What should he say, "We had a fight"?
That's not right either. That scene wasn't an argument; it was a rather suffocating one. It wasn't an argument; it was more like a scene of carnage.

"We've had some emotional issues, and we're currently taking some time to cool off."

"So what's the problem?"

Slightly tipsy, Kim Jisoo looked up and stared directly at him, speaking frankly without much hesitation.

"What other kind of emotional problem could it be? It's about your ex-girlfriend and your current girlfriend meeting."

Kwon Heonhyuk said this vaguely, but even that was enough to surprise Kim Jisoo.

"shock……"

Kim Jisoo's eyes widened immediately. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide when she heard this, and she even sobered up a lot in an instant.

gloat?

carefree?

Before this meal, she might have felt something, but after the meal, the atmosphere between the two of them eased considerably, and now all that remained was simple shock; she was just a gossipy woman.

"Are you satisfied?"

"To be honest, I never expected it to turn out like this."

Kim Jisoo became more thoughtful and cautious at this moment. She quickly composed herself, pursed her lips, and a subtle emotion welled up in her heart.

So his relationship had broken down...

Just from this one sentence, Kim Jisoo could tell how Jo Miyeon would react, after all, she knew her very well.

He betrayed me then, and now my ex-girlfriend has betrayed me too...

Is this a case of cause and effect?

Kim Jisoo couldn't help but think to herself.

"Why aren't you saying anything? What are you thinking about?"

Quan Xuanhe glanced at her and asked.

"I'm wondering why."

Why did this happen?

Kim Ji-soo casually remarked that she had already grasped the general situation of Kwon Heon-hyuk.

The so-called "cooling off period"...

Actually, it's probably Meiyan who's thinking about what to do.

While slightly tipsy, Kim Jisoo was quite clear-headed when thinking about this question. However, after a moment of clarity, a new, somewhat absurd, yet heart-pounding idea suddenly popped into her alcohol-fueled mind.

If at this time...

What would happen if she did something?
An absurd yet unsettling thought suddenly took root in her mind, subtly stirring within her and causing her emotions to spread outwards.

"So what are your plans after the breakup? Are you going to date that young girl?"

Kim Jisoo didn't know what was going on in her heart, but the mix of complex emotions made her feel very unstable at this moment.

Her instability makes her capable of doing things she wouldn't do when she's sober.

"First of all, I haven't broken up. Don't jump to conclusions and say that I have broken up."

"Furthermore, don't make wild guesses about my relationships with other girls; you always think all sorts of nonsense."

Quan Xuanhe glanced at her, but in the dim light, he couldn't quite make out her expression. He couldn't tell if she was sober or slightly drunk when she spoke.

"Okay, sure."

Kim Jisoo nodded, seemingly unconcerned by what he said.

The so-called cooling-off period is like setting a flag, giving people a chance to sneak in.

“Speak to me in a nicer tone. I’m not talking to you like a senior, so don’t pretend to be older than me. It makes me uncomfortable.”

Kim Jisoo was born in 1994, and Kwon Heonhyuk in 1997. He should have called her "noona" when he spoke, but his tone at that moment sounded like he was treating her like a child.

"Okay, Jisoo noona."

Quan Xuanhe didn't want to argue with her; arguing with a woman who seemed to be drunk would only lead to trouble.

In the short time they exchanged those few words, they had already reached the back door, where the nanny van was parked quietly by the roadside, waiting.

Quan Xuanhe gestured with his eyes, "Go back and get some rest. Don't think about anything else."

"Wait, you haven't told me what's going on with that goddaughter yet?"

"He was just joking, saying he wanted to introduce me to Li Yuanzhu. You all should know who that is, right?"

"she?"

Kim Ji-soo wasn't too surprised; instead, she gained a better understanding of his current situation.

"Then what do you think?"

"I don't really have any ideas, it just sounds scary, but what can actually happen?"

Quan Xuanhe doesn't need to curry favor with these second-generation children. He's doing very well now, so why should he need to please others?

What if I gave you a chance?

"To be honest, I'd rather date Nuna."

Quan Xuanhe raised an eyebrow, seeing her repeatedly questioning him. It was hard to say what she was thinking, but it certainly wasn't anything good.

Upon hearing this, Kim Jisoo was momentarily speechless, her expression froze for a second, and her smile suddenly became a little awkward.

"what are you saying?"

"Ok?"

Kim Jisoo's heart suddenly started racing. She looked up at him, her expression subtle.

"Nunna, what are you thinking about?"

In the dim light, a man and a woman stood there gazing at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle.
