Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 586 Do You Still Love Me?

Kim Yoo-jung's eyes, filled with scrutiny and a hint of amusement, were fixed on Jo Mi-yeon.

The question, "Can you give me some advice?" was asked lightly, but it felt like a dull knife rubbing against Zhao Meiyan's heart.

"suggestion?"

A short, almost inaudible dry laugh escaped Zhao Meiyan's throat.

She tried to move the corners of her mouth, attempting to force a calm smile, but found that the muscles in her face were as stiff as a stone slab.

She had never been so embarrassed.

Should we ask her for advice?
If you actually give it to her, she'll feel like she's being cuckolded.

Kim Yoo-jung blinked, her face displaying a perfect blend of curiosity and innocence, as if she were genuinely seeking advice.

"Yeah! Unnie must have known him longer than I have, right? He should know her very well."

Zhao Meiyan felt that the fake smile on her face was about to shatter.

A head covered in green? No, that's beyond description!

Watching a popular actress, younger and more famous than him, and who might even be filming a kissing scene with him, so openly express her admiration and ask him for advice...

This is utterly absurd, a blatant provocation, and an insult to her dignity!
But Zhao Meiyan is a respectable person, so she can tolerate it.

"Actually, I don't know much about it."

Zhao Meiyan suppressed her awkward emotions and casually said something perfunctory.

"That's it"

Kim Yoo-jung said with a regretful yet thoughtful expression.

"Yu-jung-ssi, do you know about his relationship status?"

Zhao Meiyan took a deep breath and then asked.

"I don't know much about em."

Kim Yoo-jung shook her head.

Do you know who his girlfriend is?

"em"

Kim Yoo-jung rolled her eyes, pretending to be thinking, and instead of responding to her question, asked in return, "Does unnie know?"

Of course she knew; she knew it herself.

"Is this question important? Even if oppa has a girlfriend, I've never seen her appear. It's as if she never existed."

But the next second, just as Zhao Meiyan was about to retaliate, she was met with Kim Yoo-jung's rather sharp words, which made her stop in her tracks.

"Oppa is so outstanding, what kind of girlfriend must he have who doesn't care about him at all?"

Kim Yoo-jung feigned a complaint, sighing and looking very regretful.

That's true.

If she were to date a man who is both incredibly handsome and successful, she would want to be tied to his pocket.

Even if she feels she can't hold on and there's no chance of it going to last, she still wants to enjoy the sweetness of love to the fullest, and she's willing to be dumped after she's had her fill.

After all, this is a buyer's market.

How could they possibly be having a disagreement here? That's such a childish and immature thing to do.

"Oppa has so many suitors without even thinking about it, yet his girlfriend has never visited him on set even once. I really don't know what she's doing. She doesn't cherish such a precious relationship. Is she even really in love?"

"There can be problems in relationships too, right? It seems unnecessary to care so much about other people's relationship issues."

"Hmm...who knows? Oppa's got such great qualities, how could anyone not care?"

Kim Yoo-jung curled her lip when Cho Mi-yeon couldn't see her, scoffing at what she said.

Although she is two years younger than Zhao Meiyan, she entered the industry much earlier and, being in the circle of interests, naturally knows how chaotic the entertainment industry is.

"Seriously... oppa is the kind of guy who, even if he has a girlfriend, will still have women trying to seduce him."

She couldn't hold back any longer. She didn't know if Zhao Meiyan in front of her was really stupid or pretending. She was still fantasizing about a simple and beautiful long-term relationship and should do everything she could to win this man's heart.

To put it another way, as long as this man has her in his heart, who cares about the other women?

Although Kim Yoo-jung's thinking does not quite meet the standards of a healthy romantic relationship.

But the key point is, this is the dirty entertainment industry…

This sentence seemed to silence Zhao Meiyan, leaving her speechless. She opened her mouth, wanting to refute her, but faced with reality, it was indeed the case.

Think about it, among the women she knows who 'seduced' Kwon Hyun-hyuk are Chou Tzu-yu, and the potential Kim Ji-soo, and maybe Yoo Jimin, whom she overheard that day, is also among them.

And then there are people like Han Hyo-joo who have close relationships with him on camera; these might all be among them…

Zhao Meiyan had become highly sensitive just now, and she would think extra hard at this moment. After Jin Yuzhen's reminder, she seemed to realize that she was surrounded by wolves.

She was completely unaware of the crisis he was facing before the breakup, and later she was still entangled in emotional disputes with him...

Ultimately, it's because he's too dazzling, and I don't have a matching status or strength to keep him firmly by my side.

Feeling a pang of disappointment, Zhao Meiyan's eyes darkened, and she no longer even had the desire to continue her confrontation with Kim Yoo-jung.

Will her desire to 'get back together' today really be resolved smoothly?

Could it actually be a catalyst for a breakup?

The thought of this caused hesitation and unease to creep into her heart, greatly shaking her resolve and determination to get back together.

She took a deep breath, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes so tightly they turned white, then slowly released them.

Zhao Meiyan slowly turned her head to look at Kim Yoo-jung, as she had just realized some details that she usually couldn't pay attention to.

So I couldn't help but ask.

"Yu-jung, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

Kim Yoo-jung had been secretly observing Jo Mi-yeon's reaction, and when she sensed that Jo Mi-yeon had turned to look at her, she promptly showed a bright and warm smile.

She had to admit that she wasn't as bright and lovely as her face looked, and that her heart was colder.

Upon hearing Zhao Meiyan say this, his eyes lit up, and the smile on his lips became even brighter.

"In this situation... you need to give men enough space."

...

...

...

"That's it. The next thing to do with this envelope is for the cleaning lady to see it and realize that it's a letter for the female protagonist. But no one was around at the time, so it was just left by the door. It wasn't discovered until more than 20 years later."

After Kwon Hyun-hyuk and director Bang Yoo-ri finished discussing the details of the plot, they temporarily came to a halt. When he turned around, he found that Kim Yoo-jung had disappeared at some point.

When he returned to the lounge, he was surprised to find that Zhao Meiyan was not there either.

Where did that person go?

Kwon Hyun-hyuk looked around in confusion, then continued walking along the film set.

Instead, they saw Kim Yoo-jung returning from a short distance away with Jo Mi-yeon, her face beaming with a big smile. It seemed that they had become very familiar with each other after not seeing each other for a short while.

Zhao Meiyan saw Quan Xuanhe and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Where have you been?"

As he approached, Quan Xuanhe looked at the two of them and asked curiously.

“We walked around the set and showed Mi-yeon unnie around the set.”

Kim Yoo-jung spoke first, a grin on her face.

"Ah."

Zhao Meiyan responded softly.

"Okay, then you go wait for me over there, we'll chat for a bit longer."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk waved to Kim Yoo-jung, signaling her to go first.

Seeing that he was so rude in telling her to leave, Kim Yoo-jung rolled her eyes at him and complained softly, "Oppa is so rude."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk ignored her, while Jo Mi-yeon glanced at her, gave her a slight apologetic smile, and then followed Kwon Hyun-hyuk back to the lounge. Kwon Hyun-hyuk closed the door behind him, but opened it again a second later, looking at Kim Yoo-jung who was still standing outside, and said, "Keep an eye on things at the door for a while, and don't let anyone else in."

"I?"

"Oppa asked me to guard the door?"

Kim Yoo-jung's eyes widened slightly, her expression somewhat incredulous.

How presumptuous of me?

"Be careful, I might use my power as a producer to make you..."

Quan Xuanhe spoke threatening words without changing his expression.

"Okay, I'll guard the door here."

Kim Yoo-jung gave in at lightning speed, slightly deflated, and tilted her head, her tone helpless.

thump.

Seeing the door close again, Kim Yoo-jung, standing outside, grimaced and wrinkled her nose at Kwon Hyun-hyuk, who was behind the door.

Inside the lounge.

"I'm sorry to have taken up your precious time visiting the set."

The two sat down on the sofa again. However, in this short period of time, Quan Xuanhe did not expect that Zhao Meiyan's state of mind would undergo such a dramatic change, which was beyond his expectations.

Zhao Meiyan's eyes held a complex expression.

"Xuanhe, while I was away, did any other girls come to see you?"

He didn't expect Zhao Meiyan to suddenly change the subject, completely deviating from the expected pattern, and ask about a topic that had nothing to do with what they had just discussed.

This was a huge surprise to him, who had prepared a response to Zhao Meiyan's offer to get back together.

"Uh, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Quan Xuanhe took a deep breath, his chest heaving as he carefully observed Zhao Meiyan, only to find her concerned and focused gaze fixed on him.

Answer me.

"Would you believe me if I said no? But the truth is, there have been some women I don't know who have tried to hit on me."

really.

The answer was indeed yes; during this period of separation, he did have women pursuing him.

Zhao Meiyan felt both disappointed and relieved.

What's disheartening is that he's never short of women, but what's comforting is that he honestly tells himself that.

She couldn't get angry; if she did, she would be betraying his honesty.

Will you be angry?

"Of course I'd be angry, I might even want to beat you up."

Zhao Meiyan pouted, speaking in a resentful tone, her delicate lips glistening, her face fair and radiant.

"I just suddenly thought of..."

"Should we just not get back together?"

These words surprised Quan Xuanhe quite a bit, and he was even stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was trying to express.

"What's going on? Why are you suddenly saying such things? It's so strange."

This confused Kwon Hyun-hyuk a bit.

It's only been half an hour at most, how could their attitude change so drastically?

Quan Xuanhe's first thought was to review the situation, wondering if he had made any mistakes that Zhao Meiyan had discovered, which was why he didn't want to get back together.

Regularly reviewing one's actions is a sign of a scumbag's self-cultivation.

“Ani…”

Are you happy without me?

Zhao Meiyan then posed a second question.

"Of course I'm not happy. You're my source of joy. You're lively and adorable. I miss you every single day without you."

Quan Xuanhe answered without blinking or hesitation.

"qinjia?"

Zhao Meiyan blinked as she looked at his answer, which was given without any hesitation, and subconsciously asked another question.

“qinjia.”

"Ok."

Zhao Meiyan seemed to sense the seriousness in Quan Xuanhe's eyes, and felt a sweet warmth in her heart, which greatly reduced her unease and fear.

"So, do you want to get back together?"

Ultimately, Kwon Hyun-hyuk's current problem isn't whether he wants to get back together with his ex.

He's thinking about wanting it all; he wants both. Getting back together is actually a minor issue for him.

He certainly liked Zhao Meiyan, but if he had to be hung up on her, he would rather let go, even if it hurt.

But after all, he certainly had feelings for Zhao Meiyan, otherwise he wouldn't have dragged it out for so long without mentioning breaking up with her, and even had the patience to sit here and talk about getting back together.

"actually…"

"I'm wondering if we should try a different approach."

"If you feel pressured to get back together right now, I won't let you feel conflicted or upset."

"You only need to answer one question to me honestly, just one question."

Kim Yoo-jung's words echoed in Jo Mi-yeon's ears, making her gradually realize that she might indeed need to change her perspective.

Kwon Heon-hyuk's calmness and composure made her realize that he was not like her, full of anticipation for reconciliation and getting back together.

It was the time they spent apart that completely cooled their feelings.

There are other women.

There is a lack of a serious attitude towards managing this relationship.

"You said."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk watched as Zhao Mei-yeon became increasingly serious, and his attitude turned serious as he met her gaze intently.

"Do you still like me now, even if there are other people in your life?"

She was fully aware of the situation and therefore needed a definite answer to put her mind at ease.

"I like it, of course I do."

Quan Xuanhe gently grasped her hand, his tone serious and his gaze focused.

He was speaking the truth at that moment.

Of course he loves people; if he didn't, he wouldn't have gotten together with Zhao Meiyan.

"If that's the case, then that's good."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Meiyan felt relieved and didn't say anything else. She simply stretched out her arms and gave him a big hug, holding him tightly.

Feeling her warmth, Kwon Hyun-hyuk also stretched out his arms and hugged Cho Mi-yeon tightly.

Sensing his initiative, Zhao Meiyan closed her eyes slightly, carefully savoring the familiar embrace she hadn't felt in a long time—a feeling she missed and longed for.

"All right."

But after feeling his warm embrace, Zhao Meiyan took the initiative to break free and looked up at the infinite warmth in his eyes.

"I'm leaving now. You focus on filming!"

Hearing this, Quan Xuanhe was stunned, not understanding why her tone had suddenly changed.

"I'm leaving!"

Zhao Meiyan stood up, looked down at Quan Xuanhe, and said with a smile.
