Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 213 If Taeyeon unnie can do it, so can I (Seeking double monthly votes!)

Chen Yan was stunned. Eat again?

A popular artist like Lim Yoona should be extremely busy every day.

However, he didn't mind Yoona inviting him to dinner, since they were friends.

After thinking for a moment, he replied: "You're treating me to dinner again? Why this time?" [doge emoji]

It was just like a normal conversation between friends.

Lim Yoona: As I said before, I wasn't in a good mood during our last meal together, and I'll find another time to treat you to a meal to apologize.

Yoona: Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your advice about the house the other day. I've already bought that house.

Wow, she's already bought it! It's only been a few days. No wonder she's a rich woman; she can buy a house in one go.

My phone vibrated slightly again; Yoona had sent me another message.

Im Yoona: You're not replying to my messages, are you thinking about how to reject me? [Secretly observing]

Chen Yan immediately laughed and typed back: How could I? A rich woman is inviting me to dinner, wouldn't it be ungrateful of me to refuse?

Yoona: Hehe, I thought so too. I booked the venues the first two times, so you can choose the venue this time.

Seemingly to live up to the "rich woman" title Chen Yan had given her, she immediately sent another message: "Choose any place, I'll pay." [She patted her chest to guarantee it.]

Looking at the meme of someone patting their chest, Chen Yan subconsciously recalled the limited tenderness he felt when the two of them shared an umbrella last time.

Yoona, you'd better stop patting your chest. If you keep doing that, you might lose your promise.

We can't let our already meager resources get worse.

A strange thought flashed through Chen Yan's mind, and after thinking about it, he still chose the Chinese restaurant that the two of them had visited the previous two times.

That Chinese restaurant has good food and is also very private, making it suitable for a popular celebrity like Lim Yoon-a.

Moving to another place might not be as safe as this one, and it wouldn't be good if we were discovered again.

He just trended on social media with Lee Ji-eun last night, and he doesn't want to do it again so soon.

The two agreed on a time to end their chat.

Chen Yan put down his phone and quickly got back to composing music.

Park Jin-young has already shown him enough respect; now all he needs to do is demonstrate his abilities.

The following evening around 7 p.m., Chen Yan drove to the vicinity of the Chinese restaurant in Daelim-dong.

Entering the store, I followed the staff to the door of a private room.

Pushing open the door, he found Yoona already in the private room. Seeing him, she immediately flashed a bright smile: "You're here."

Chen Yan returned a smile: "Sorry I'm late, I got stuck in traffic on the way."

"It's okay, I've only been here a few minutes."

Yoona handed over the menu: "Let's order first."

Chen Yan waved his hand: "You should do it. You're treating, so just do whatever you think is appropriate."

"also."

Yoona didn't hesitate and took the menu back without hesitation, then started ordering.

As the names of the dishes were announced one by one, when Chen Yan heard the name "chicken feet," he subconsciously said, "Don't you not eat chicken feet?"

Yoona blinked: "Oh, I was thinking you might eat it."

"No need, I don't really like chicken feet anyway."

"Okay, then we won't order."

Yoona nodded, canceled the chicken feet order with the waiter, and then looked down at the other dishes.

But the corners of his mouth turned up slightly the moment he lowered his head.

Even if Chen Yan doesn't know what she likes or dislikes to eat anymore, it doesn't matter.

Just have him eat a few more meals and then tell him again.

See, he remembered not to eat chicken feet after the last time.

The waiter skillfully ordered four dishes and a soup, and then left the private room.

After rinsing their dishes, Lin Yoona poured herself a glass of water and smiled gently at Chen Yan:

How's work going lately?

Chen Yan smiled and said, "I'm fine. How about you?" "I'm fine too, just too busy."

As she spoke, Yoona scrunched up her face, adding to her cuteness: "I'm so busy that I barely have any time to rest. Right now, we're preparing for our comeback in January, and after that, we'll be starting our Asia tour right away."

Sometimes she felt that what was hindering the development of her relationship with Chen Yan was not Taeyeon unnie who had gotten ahead of her, but her incredibly busy work schedule.

Chen Yan frowned upon hearing this. It seemed that Girls' Generation would indeed be very busy next year.

That also means he and Kim Tae-yeon will be spending even less time together.

As dishes were served one by one, the two of them didn't stand on ceremony and started eating right away.

Picking up a slice of sweet and sour pork and putting it in her mouth, Lin Yoona nodded slightly and said casually, "Actually, among Chinese dishes, sweet and sour pork is one of my favorites."

As she spoke, she pointed to the boiled sliced ​​pork next to her: "And this boiled sliced ​​pork, I also really like to eat it. Besides these two, my favorite food is hot pot."

"Really."

Chen Yan nodded as he ate the boiled pork slices.

Across from her, seeing that Chen Yan had clearly taken her words to heart, Lin Yoona couldn't help but smile again.

At this moment, Chen Yan across from them spoke up: "Then Yoona, you and Taeyeon noona both like to eat sweet and sour pork."

He had just casually finished speaking when he suddenly remembered something and cautiously looked up at Lin Yoona.

Yoona still had a smile on her face: "What, are you afraid I'll get angry like last time?"

Chen Yan gave an awkward smile; that was indeed what he was afraid of.

When he mentioned Kim Tae-yeon during our last meal, Im Yoon-ah was clearly unhappy.

"It's okay. I was in a bad mood last time because of some things, but I won't do that now. You see, I treated you to dinner to apologize this time."

Chen Yan quickly waved his hand: "Saying I apologize is too much. I understand. It's okay."

Yoona smiled and followed up on the topic, asking, "Could you tell me in detail how you and Taeyeon unnie gradually got together?"

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then, seeing that the smile on her face seemed genuine, he nodded in relief; "Okay."

That's right, this is the normal Lim Yoona he knows, the Lim Yoona who's thinking about gossiping about him and Kim Tae-yeon.

But what he didn't know was that although Lin Yoona was smiling, the hand on her lap under the table had already slowly clenched into a fist.

Just bear with it this once!
As the ancient Chinese proverb goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Having a thorough understanding of how Kim Tae-yeon and Chen Yan got together will help her win Chen Yan back.

Although Chen Yan gave a general overview during their first meal together, he didn't go into details.

Furthermore, since I hadn't been reborn at that time, I listened to it entirely as a romantic love story, so I didn't understand some of the specific details at all.

This time, she wanted to hear it again.

Afterwards, Chen Yan talked to Lin Yoona about his relationship with Kim Tae-yeon.

During the conversation, Yoona wasn't just listening; she would ask specific questions about details from time to time.

As Chen Yan answered, he couldn't help but admire her keen eye for gossip and her sophisticated approach to it.

As she received the answer, Yoona couldn't help but hum softly to herself.

It's just a matter of slowly building rapport first, then making a move at the right time. Anyone can do that.

Once I move to the apartment below his, I can find an opportunity to quickly build a closer relationship.

Well, let's not tell Chen Yan about this yet; consider it a little surprise for him later.

The meal went quite harmoniously; one of them obtained the information he wanted, while the other enjoyed a satisfying meal.

On the way back to Lin Yoona's dorm after dinner, Chen Yan and Lin Yoona chatted and laughed, creating a very pleasant atmosphere, completely different from the awkward atmosphere last time.

"Then I'll head back now. I had a very enjoyable dinner tonight. Drive carefully on your way back."

The car stopped at an intersection near the Girls' Generation dormitory. Lin Yoona looked at Chen Yan and smiled.

Chen Yan smiled and nodded: "I also enjoyed the meal very much, thank you for treating me."

Lin Yoona said goodbye again, then put on her mask, got out of the car, and walked towards her dormitory.

Chen Yan watched her walk into the residential area, then turned his car around and drove away.

Not far away, a parked BMW slowly rolled down its window, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes that stared intently at Chen Yan's departing car.
