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

Chapter 449 Are you willing to be scummed by me?
"Oppa, Sunmi unnie."

Bae Suzy was startled when she saw Chen Yan and Lee Sunmi standing outside. After realizing what was happening, she smiled and greeted them.

"Sooji".

Lee Sunmi replied, "Are you going upstairs?"

"Oh, no, I'm here to see oppa."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Lee Sunmi was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at the two of them: "Then you two chat, I'll go back and practice first, oppa."

Chen Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Bae Suzy, who was standing to the side, raised her eyebrows slightly.

Oppa?!
When did oppa and Sunmi unnie become so close?

Lee Sunmi stepped into the elevator, and the elevator doors slowly closed. After the elevator went down two floors, Bae Suzy immediately turned to look at Chen Yan.

"Oppa, you and Sunmi unnie are so close now."

The girl wasn't the type to keep things to herself, so she asked directly; it wasn't some private question that couldn't be asked.

“I was in charge of Sunmi’s solo album, and it’s normal to get to know her better after spending so much time with her.”

Bae Suzy pursed her lips slightly.

That seems to be true, especially since this oppa is handsome, has a gentle personality, and is very approachable. It's perfectly normal that he quickly became close with Sunmi unnie.

But judging from Sunmi's demeanor just now, she doesn't seem to have any special feelings for oppa, so there's probably no need to be on guard.

It's already exhausting to be wary of IU unnie, but if another unnie from the same company, Sunmi unnie, comes along, then it'll really be a bit dramatic for her.

Unaware that the girl was currently analyzing whether Lee Sunmi would become another rival in love, Chen Yan looked at Bae Suzy in front of him, glanced at her, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.

The girl had long chestnut hair draped over her shoulders, with slightly curled ends. She wore a white off-the-shoulder knit top, revealing her fair and smooth shoulders and delicate collarbones.

Her lower body was clad in a floral print midi skirt, with a glimpse of her slender and shapely calves serving as the finishing touch. Paired with white high-heeled sandals, it made the girl's already tall figure appear even more outstanding.

Her ten toes, as white and tender as bamboo shoots, were painted with fuchsia nail polish today, adding a touch of allure to the girl's already sexy outfit.

As if sensing the man's admiring gaze, her two thumbs playfully twitched slightly before falling down.

But this rather sexy outfit was immediately overshadowed by the girl's pure and innocent face, which was only lightly made up.

Her pure and innocent temperament immediately took the lead, yet it didn't seem out of place at all. Instead, the two temperaments blended perfectly together, creating a stunning effect.

This is why Chen Yan was so amazed just now.

Just now it was Lee Sunmi, and now it's Bae Suzy, making men feel like they're going to work to see beautiful women again.

His gaze refocused on the girl's pure and beautiful face, and he asked with a smile, "Sooji, what brings you here?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just happened to be free this afternoon, so I thought I'd come and chat with you for a bit, oppa."

Upon hearing this, Bae Suzy snapped out of her reverie, stopped her thoughts, and replied with a sweet smile.

With her little hands behind her back and her body slightly leaning forward, her bright, rabbit-like eyes blinked as she looked at the oppa in front of her.

It was precisely this pure and lovely appearance that made Chen Yan, who was already used to the stunning beauty of Lin Yoona, momentarily lose his composure for a second.

He quickly realized what was going on and smiled, "Then let's go sit in the rest area and chat."

Bae Suzy giggled, "Hehe, okay~"

She caught that oppa's momentary lapse in concentration.

It was worth it for her to go home and dress up like this before coming over. Looks like I'm not entirely unattractive to him after all.

The two turned and walked side by side toward the rest area.

Chen Yan casually asked, "Don't you have any work this afternoon?"

Bae Suzy, still with her hands behind her back and walking with light steps, said, "We were supposed to be filming on set, but because of Lee Seung-gi's situation, filming couldn't continue, and the director gave everyone a break."

Chen Yan was slightly taken aback: "Lee Seung-gi? What's wrong?"

"Oppa, didn't you see the trending topics online?"

"I was in a meeting about Sunmi's solo album and didn't check my phone."

When he said this, he already had a rough guess in his mind.

The two sat down on either side of a small round table in the rest area. Bae Suzy handed over her phone, her face scrunching up slightly.

"Oppa, see for yourself, it's a bit disgusting, I can't say it."

Chen Yan took the phone, and the top trending topic on Naver's hot list caught his eye, followed by the familiar word "hot".

Lee Seung-gi intervenes in the relationship between two black men.

Besides the top spot, the second and third entries are also related to him.

[Lee Seung-gi's sex scandal], [Lee Seung-gi's mistress].

Looking at the trending topics, Chen Yan thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

As expected, the public opinion that was brewing in Hong Kong has traveled across the ocean to reach us.

Although he had expected it, Chen Yan grinned and frowned, making an expression that suggested he was also somewhat disgusted.

You have to go all the way when you're acting.

He glanced at the entry, frowned, and handed the phone back to Bae Suzy.

Bae Suzy pouted and said, "It's a bit disgusting, isn't it, oppa?"

"Ah."

“I knew he was a womanizer in private, but I didn’t expect him to be this promiscuous. He was having an affair with a third party, and it happened in Hong Kong. There are videos online, which is solid evidence.”

As she spoke, the girl suddenly shuddered, as if she had thought of something: "This pervert actually chased after me before, ugh~ it's disgusting just thinking about it."

Seeing this, Chen Yan smiled and said, "So after seeing the news online, Lee Seung-gi left the film set immediately?"

Bae Suzy nodded: "Yes, he swore a couple of times, said a few words to the director and writer, and then left. He probably went back to deal with the news, but I guess it will be difficult to clean it up."

"Won't your show be affected too?"

"Hmm, I don't think it's going to be good. The source of the news about Lee Seung-gi is in Hong Kong, and there's concrete evidence, so it's basically impossible to suppress it. The director gave the crew a break because he went back to the TV station for an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures." Bae Suzy pursed her lips: "I think this drama will most likely be canceled in the end."

Chen Yan nodded, but he knew in his heart that the cancellation of the show was inevitable.

Because the scandals that Kim Tae-yeon's side planned to expose haven't been revealed yet, and now public opinion on the Korean Peninsula is rising. According to the plan, those scandals will also be exposed by Hong Kong paparazzi in two days.

The reason for waiting two days is to avoid arousing suspicion from some people. If there is a public outcry on one side and another revelation on the other side, it is easy to arouse suspicion from some people.

After two days, the paparazzi who had been sent to the peninsula by their sixth brother would have a reason to investigate Lee Seung-gi.

Didn't you see the media frenzy? As a paparazzi, it's only natural for me to do a quick investigation out of professional instinct. It's perfectly reasonable, and nobody can really find fault with it.

Therefore, considering both factors, Lee Seung-gi is likely doomed this time, and the cancellation of the drama is an inevitable result.

Right now, Bae Suzy has become an innocent victim of this.

Although Lee Seung-gi started this whole thing, Chen Yan felt it was justified to take retaliatory measures.

But whether it was the previous incident with obsessive fans or the impact on the drama she's currently filming, Bae Suzy has always been the innocent party dragged into it, so she still feels somewhat guilty.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan looked up at the girl opposite him.

I'll see if there's a chance to make it up to Suzy later.

At that moment, Bae Suzy, who was looking at her phone, suddenly looked up and said with a smile, "But this is good too, oppa. I'm finally free. I don't have to look at that face to act anymore."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan chuckled softly: "You're quite optimistic, aren't you?"

Bae Suzy pouted: "Oppa, you know how agonizing it is for me to act while looking at Lee Seung-gi's face, especially when he's acting in romantic scenes. It's so painful."

So, the TV series being taken off the air is actually a good thing for the girl.

"Oppa, do you have any work this afternoon?"

"No, there's no rush to continue planning Sunmi's solo album. What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask, I was afraid of disturbing your work, oppa."

"Don't worry, if I really had work to do, I definitely wouldn't be sitting here chatting with you."

"oppa!"

Bae Suzy puffed out her cheeks and glared at her oppa.

What does that mean? It means you dressed up nicely to chat with him, but it turns out work wasn't as important as you.

Even though she knew the oppa was just joking and teasing her, the girl couldn't help but puff out her cheeks.

That's how girls are. It's true that they're afraid of affecting your work, but if you really show that your work is more important than her, she'll definitely be unhappy.

In short, you just want a nice word so that she'll be considerate enough not to bother you while you're working.

Faced with the girl's coquettish complaint, Chen Yan didn't say anything nice, but simply returned a big smile.

"Humph~"

With a pout and a soft hum, Bae Suzy lowered her eyes and looked at her phone.

She decided to ignore this oppa for three seconds as a form of punishment.

Three seconds later.

"But oppa"

"Ok?"

Turning her phone screen towards Chen Yan, Bae Suzy asked curiously, "Oppa, why do you only follow female idols on your social media accounts? Apart from your company's accounts, you don't follow any male idols, not even PD-nim."

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Oh right, you reminded me. I did forget to pay attention to Brother Zhenying."

Chen Yan picked up his phone from the table, fiddled with it for a bit, and then smiled as he looked at the new profile picture of Park Jin-young that had appeared in his following list.

"All right."

On the other side, Bae Suzy was stunned by this oppa's actions for a moment, and after she came to her senses, she glared at him reproachfully.

“Oppa, I meant you should pay more attention to a few male idols, like the oppas from 2AM and 2PM in your company.”

"How awkward! I'm not familiar with them, and we haven't met in person yet. If I suddenly start paying attention to them, they'll find it strange."

Chen Yan frowned: "Let's talk about it another time. Besides, it doesn't really matter whether you pay attention or not."

Bae Suzy thought about it and nodded, but then, as if remembering something, she looked at her oppa and joked:
"Oppa, if someone who's prone to overthinking sees your following list, they might think you only follow female idols, and that you're a scumbag or a player."

"Then this following list is the fish you've been raising or the people you want to seduce. Who knows, it might even become evidence of your scandals someday, oppa."

"I think you're the kind of person who overthinks things, Suzy. Otherwise, who would be so free as to specifically look at my following list and come up with all those wild ideas you just mentioned?"

Chen Yan glanced at the girl speechlessly: "Besides, now that there's Zhenying, there's no possibility of that happening anymore."

Bae Suzy pouted and muttered, "That's possible, but PDnim is the president, so it's different."

Looking at the girl's somewhat adorable appearance, Chen Yan chuckled, then suddenly thought of something, a sly glint flashing in his eyes.

He leaned slightly closer to Bae Soo-ji, looking into her bright, rabbit-like eyes, and whispered:

"Actually, you're half right. I'm not a player, but I am definitely a scumbag."

Bae Suzy paused, blinked her rabbit eyes a few times, and suddenly asked, "So, oppa, are you planning to cheat on me?"

Taken aback by this somewhat unexpected answer, Chen Yan blinked and asked, "So, Xiuzhi, are you willing to be dumped by me?"

"Well"

The girl didn't know how to answer for a moment. When she came to her senses, she saw the sly look in the oppa's eyes and immediately pouted and glared at him.

"Oppa, are you kidding me again~"

Chen Yan straightened up again, smiled, and remained silent.

Anyway, he was telling the truth.

She gave this oppa a reproachful look again, then looked down and her gaze fell once more on the list of accounts Chen Yan was following on her phone screen.

A thought suddenly popped into Bae Soo-ji's mind.

Is this oppa really a jerk?
