Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 418 The feeling of being trapped is both painful and pleasurable.

"Come quickly and help."

Mingyue shouted at the top of her lungs from inside the kitchen.

Three women make a drama. They wash, chop, and cook the vegetables, while Mingyan has to do the physical work of carrying the dishes.

"Here you are." Mingyan gave Kim Minjung a warning look, so that the little guy wouldn't continue to talk nonsense when it was time to eat.

His comments about his aunt must not be heard by Lim Na-yeon and Kim Ji-won.

Kim Ji-won saw Ming-yeon come in and said, "Take this upstairs, and don't you dare eat any."

"Ji-won unnie, he loves to sneak food, so there's no point in telling him."

Lim Nayeon added insult to injury, pointing out that she and Kim Ji-won weren't entirely without common ground, such as their rivalry with Kim Ji-soo and their吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for roasting or criticizing) of Myung-yeon.

"Is it?"

"Of course, the food we sneak out tastes even better than the main meal."

Mingyan wouldn't be able to respond to that.

Since ancient times, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a stolen lover, and a stolen lover is not as good as one who cannot have one. These are all established principles, and they cannot be determined by any single individual.

Of course, he was referring to the food. Nothing tastes as good as the first bite you hurriedly stuff into your mouth before it's served. Eating it properly would be less enjoyable.

In terms of romantic relationships, the banquet hasn't even started yet, so there's no question of stealing.

Mingyue was very efficient. Although Lim Nayeon and Kim Jiwon were actually making things worse by pretending to help, she quickly prepared a table of home-style dishes that could be described as a fusion of Chinese and Korean cuisine.

Since there are no outsiders around, the sentiment is what matters most.

When it came time to arrange the seating, Mingyan could only sit obediently with Kim Minjung on one side, the two girls sat opposite each other, and Mingyue sat in the head seat.

"It's delicious."

The man took a deep breath.

No matter how many delicacies you've eaten, home-cooked meals are still the most satisfying.

"Ji-won, Na-yeon, try it and see how it tastes." In Mingyue's eyes, Lim Na-yeon and Kim Ji-won were still children, after all, they were more than ten years apart.

She glanced at her younger brother. That brat actually had good taste. The two girls were sitting there, each with their own strengths, and neither of them looked bad.

One is cheerful, the other is gentle, and both are beautiful.

Rabbit Teeth picked up her chopsticks first: "I've often heard him say that Unnie's cooking is delicious, and today I finally have the chance to eat it... Mmm, it's so good."

Kim Ji-won thought to herself, "Everything tastes delicious in the mouth of an idol who has to diet and manage her figure."

She herself had tried to lose weight, so of course she understood that feeling.

"What does Ji-won think?"

"It's delicious." Kim Ji-won reacted quickly: "Unnie, your cooking is much better than mine. He always says my cooking is bad."

Hmph, it's all about competition, who's afraid of who?

Don't even mention what I'm eating; I've never even seen it before, so what's there to talk about?

"It's good enough that he can even eat, let alone be so picky," Mingyue complained about her younger brother, making it clear that she herself couldn't cook.

However, she could also glean some information from their conversation. The two girls were indeed very close to her younger brother, either having grown up together or having personally cooked for him.

Kim Minjung shoveled rice into his mouth, adhering to the principle of "don't listen to what is improper, don't look at what is improper."

The little guy is afraid of his uncle's revenge later.

Mingyan swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Sister, I can cook now."

"When did you learn it?"

“After Minjung arrived.”

After Kim Minjung picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, he realized that the eyes of the other four people at the table were all on him.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" The little guy wiped his mouth. "My uncle and I did learn to cook, and our teacher is Nayeon unnie's good friend." Kim Minjung had learned her lesson and didn't say Yoo Jeongyeon's name directly, so as not to cause any more trouble for Mingyan.

"Yes, yes, I had someone teach me," Lim Nayeon nodded repeatedly.

"It's a pity that Nayeon put in such good intentions; his talent doesn't seem to be that high."

Kim Ji-won smiled shyly, making Rabbit Teeth roll his eyes.

Mingyan gestured with his chopsticks, saying, "Eat your food, eat your food. Why are you always talking about me?"

“You should listen more to what Nayeon and Jiwon have to say. They’ve worried a lot about you.” Mingyue raised her hand, as if she was about to slap her younger brother.

"Wait, you must be talking about Minjung."

The man quickly corrected his sister's statement.

“You and Minjung are both.” Mingyue seemed completely oblivious to the ambiguity in her words: “You yourself always make a mess of your life. Jisoo even told me that you don’t take good care of your stomach problems and you’re always going out drinking.”

Lim Na-yeon nodded vigorously beside her; she was also not entirely satisfied with Ming-yan's approach.

Kim Ji-won found herself somewhat out of the conversation. Although the girl had managed to keep Ming-yeon with her gentle and tender nature, she was still mostly the one being cared for and protected.

"Ahem, sister, you're treating us to dinner today to thank Nayeon and Jiwon noona, right?" Mingyan tried to change the subject away from herself.

"Ji-won unnie and I are both your friends. You should be the one thanking us. Why are you bothering unnie?"

Lim Na-yeon has surprisingly put her intelligence to good use.

In the end, weren't she and Kim Ji-won only nice to Kim Min-jung because of this guy, and out of love for him?

The man chuckled awkwardly twice: "My sister and I are family, why make such a distinction? Hehe."

Mingyan felt that Lim Nayeon and Kim Ji-won seemed to have joined forces.

“Nayeon, Jiwon, you are both…good friends.” Mingyue paused, “When I’m not around, Xiaoyan and Minjun will need you to take good care of them.”

She was now absolutely certain that her younger brother had indeed gotten into a romantic entanglement, and that the woman's words implied that her relationship with Mingyan was unusual.

Therefore, Mingyue decided to add fuel to the fire by delegating authority to them.

Lim Nayeon and Kim Jiwon are both good girls, and with Kim Jisoo who didn't come today, it's better to have them watching over things than for Mingyan to be out there indulging in debauchery.

As for who someone ultimately chooses, that's their own business.

Mingyue couldn't make the decision for her younger brother.

"Unnie, if he doesn't listen to me in the future, I'll call you." Lim Nayeon smiled broadly, thinking that she had finally gained Mingyue's approval, which would make the transition to her sister-in-law's role smoother.

"Row."

“Unnie, he’s also very good to us. It’s not like he’s worried about us or not.” Kim Ji-won smiled gently. “Min-jung is also very well-behaved and rarely causes trouble.”

On the contrary, it was always her who troubled Kim Minjun more often, since she needed information.

Lim Na-yeon gritted her teeth.

Damn it, why does this woman's mouth smell so strongly of tea? She acts like she's some kind of difficult person.

Ex-girlfriend, just shut up!

Mingyue shook her head, signaling everyone to continue eating. They chatted about interesting things from time to time, mostly about Mingyan and a little about Jin Minzheng.

The uncle and nephew could only bury their heads in their food and dare not say a word.

After the meal, Lim Nayeon was the first to say goodbye. Twice's schedule was quite busy, and she was already being kind to Mingyue by taking the time to come.

However, facial recognition was still useful; at least we got Mingyue's contact information.

If this guy ever dares to wrong me again, I'll just call and complain.

"I'll see him off." Mingyan got up and went to see Rabbit Tooth out.

"Hey, tell me the truth, why did that woman come today?"
