Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 417 Swords and Shadows.

The next evening, Mingyan and her sister were preparing dinner.

He also needed to avoid suspicion and couldn't reveal that he had been staying with Kim Ji-won for the past few days, so he came back early to help out.

"Minjung, come help me wash the vegetables."

Mingyan shouted a few words at the top of his lungs.

This child is having a great time playing, and since it's a rare opportunity not to practice, we must make the most of this precious time.

"Uncle, I already told Mom there are some really good takeout options nearby, but she doesn't agree," Kim Minjung muttered to Mingyan as he washed the vegetables.

The little guy is used to being free and is a bit unaccustomed to being managed by his mother all of a sudden.

"Since we've invited them over, what kind of behavior is it to order takeout?" Mingyue scolded her daughter, "Nayeon and Jiwon have taken good care of you, haven't they?"

Kim Minjung muttered, "So every time they come, my uncle orders takeout."

"Minjung~ You didn't even wash these vegetables properly, so concentrate."

Mingyan raised his hand as if to tap the little guy on the head, and after chatting for a few more minutes, he revealed all his secrets.

Kim Minjung returned a look, and the two temporarily reached a balance.

While the siblings and the little one were busy at work, Lim Nayeon had already rang the doorbell.

She usually just enters the password to come in, but since Mingyue is here, she should be mindful of the impact.

"I'll go, I'll go open the door." Kim Minjung volunteered and rushed out. She felt that washing vegetables was just something her mother and uncle wanted to do because they couldn't stand her having it too easy.

"Minjung, where's your mother?"

After entering the house, Lim Nayeon looked around and smiled when she realized that Kim Ji-won hadn't arrived yet.

Rabbit Teeth arrived a little early on purpose, just to get ahead of that woman.

This is called preemptive impression... no, it's about seizing the initiative!

Kim Minjung gestured towards the house with his lip: "They're cooking in the kitchen."

"Hey, Minjung, is that girl... Jiwon unnie coming too?" Lim Nayeon stopped the little one who was about to turn around and go inside: "Did your mother say anything?"

She almost let it slip, which would have been rude and damaging to her image in front of Kim Minjung.

"Yes, my mom invited them all because you two have taken good care of me." Kim Minjung had gotten smarter and secretly revealed the inside story of today's meal to her older sister.

Of course, Mingyue's actual meaning was deeper than she thought.

Using his daughter's name as a pretext, he was actually investigating his brother's wife.

There's not enough time to do them one by one, but doing them two at a time is just right.

Jisoo is definitely in the top spot, but judging from what Minjung said, there are many more people who like Mingyan than just one person, so it's better to take a look at both.

"So that's it~"

Lim Nayeon nodded thoughtfully.

Whatever the reason, it's definitely a good thing to leave a good impression on Mingyue.

"Nayeon, you're here, why did you bring a watermelon?" Mingyan immediately noticed the watermelon that Rabbit Tooth was carrying into the kitchen; it was quite big.

Lim Nayeon giggled, "It's getting hot, it's the perfect time to eat watermelon... Hello, unnie."

"Nayeon, the last time I saw you, you were still a student."

Mingyue wiped her hands and greeted the guests with a smile.

Her impression of Lim Na-yeon was still from junior high school; the girl back then was nothing like the glamorous superstar she is today.

The moment Rabbit Tooth entered, the air in the kitchen seemed to come alive.

“Yes, he was my classmate back then. We’ve known each other since elementary school.” Lim Nayeon was not at all shy and rolled up her sleeves to help, showing no awareness of being a guest, which was in stark contrast to the restless little guy.

“Yes, yes, you and Jisoo are both Xiaoyan’s classmates.” Mingyue had someone to talk to, so she didn’t even care about Mingyan anymore: “After Minjun came to Seoul, he often mentioned you to me.”

When Kim Minjung first arrived in Seoul, he basically talked about Kim Jisoo and Lim Nayeon all the time.

One was the surprise of meeting a celebrity, and the other was being touched by the meticulous care taken by the two older women.

"That's nothing. Minjung is so cute, I wish I had a little sister like her."

Lim Nayeon chatted with Mingyue with a smile, and even Mingyan couldn't get a word in edgewise. "Ding-dong."

Just as the man was about to sneak out, the doorbell rang again.

Mingyue and Lin Nayan both looked outside immediately, and Mingyan ran over to open the door.

"Noona, change your shoes." Mingyan led Kim Jiwon in, and the two exchanged a silent glance, everything understood without a word.

Kim Ji-won glanced at the shoes by the door: "Nayeon has arrived?"

"Hmm, about twenty minutes."

"Oh."

He openly expressed his prayers, hoping that the situation would not spiral out of control.

If only Kim Jisoo were here, she could suppress everything. She always manages to turn the tide at crucial moments. The key is that no one can argue with Kim Jisoo.

We'll keep arguing, but the other side has to respond eventually.

They're as immovable as a mountain; how can you break through their defenses without any moves? There's no way to break through them.

"Is that Ji-won?" Myung-yeol and Lim Na-yeon walked out of the kitchen together.

She had met her brother's two friends, but this was the first time Kim Ji-won had actually met them; she had only heard their names from her daughter before.

"Hello, I'm Kim Ji-won." The girl clasped her hands together in front of her and bowed politely. "This is a gift I brought for you."

"You're here, why did you bring a gift? Really..."

“You are Mingyan’s older sister, so you are similar to my older sister. This set of cosmetics is what I usually use, so I brought it over for you to try.”

Lim Nayeon pouted to herself.

Kim Ji-won is used to this kind of thing. Who brings cosmetics on a first visit? Bringing a watermelon herself is a better way to show that the relationship is close.

"Nayeon, hello there." Kim Ji-won then turned her gaze to Nayeon and greeted her with a smile.

Lin Na-yeon grinned, showing off her two bright, gleaming teeth: "Unnie, I've been waiting for you for ages."

"Really? How long have you been here?"

"I came earlier than you because I was thinking of coming over to help Unnie with some chores."

Rabbit Teeth subtly reminded Kim Ji-won, "You've only been here a short time. I've known someone for over ten years."

Whether compared to herself or her family, she has the advantage.

“Mingyan told me that unnie’s cooking skills are amazing.” Kim Jiwon praised Mingyue first, then looked at Lim Nayeon: “I don’t usually cook, I’m afraid of ruining unnie’s good intentions.”

Mingyan felt a bit of toothache.

He seemed to be hallucinating; the once calm air before him was now filled with the glint of swords.

Mingyue glanced thoughtfully at her younger brother: "Nayeon, why don't you talk to Jiwon first? I still have two dishes to make."

“Unnie, let me learn from you. Myung-yeon is used to your cooking.” Kim Ji-won followed him into the kitchen just as naturally.

Lim Nayeon stamped her foot and followed her in, saying, "Hey, I'll help too."

Only Mingyan and Kim Minjung remained in the living room, staring at each other in bewilderment.

You look at me, I look at you.

"hey-hey."

Kim Minjung managed a weak smile.

She suddenly realized the complexity of the adult world; the conversation between Lim Nayeon and Kim Jiwon just now was enough for the little one to learn for half a year.

"Minjun, what exactly did you say to your sister?" Mingyan decided to ask her niece one more time, just in case.

"Nothing, nothing."

"Really?"

"Um... I also mentioned that Jiwon unnie and Nayeon unnie are both very good to you..."
