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

Chapter 484 Lee Soon-kyu: I'm not some scumbag who's hooking up with other people.

Lee Soon-kyu looked up blankly at Chen Yan's profile.

The man's smile remained unchanged, as if what he had just said was merely casual conversation.

But Lee Soon-kyu's face no longer showed the indifference she had just been feigning; once again, she didn't know how to respond.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be like this.

Could it be because I have something to hide and am feeling guilty?
Just as she inexplicably began to reflect on herself, Chen Yan spoke again.

"But what happened during that walk that night wasn't a big deal, right, Nuna?"

He turned and smiled at Lee Soon-kyu, seemingly treating it as just a casual conversation topic without any other meaning.

And this time, Lee Soon-kyu heard it clearly.

It's a rhetorical question.

So she immediately forced a smile and replied, "Indeed, it's just a walk, nothing serious."

Chen Yan smiled and didn't say anything more.

Lee Soon-kyu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned his head to the other side, looking out the car window. However, his feelings were much more complicated than those of the minimalist buildings outside.

I just wanted to come out with Xiaoyan to remind him to settle down and be mindful of his behavior, and also to actually buy him a pair of slippers.

Not only did she end up meddling in other people's business, but she also got so embarrassed by Xiaoyan's few words. She really had the urge to jump out of the car for a moment.

And it seems that Xiaoyan noticed my predicament and gave me a way out.

After all, what he and Taeyeon and the others didn't tell each other wasn't just what happened that morning, but also what happened that evening when they took a walk together downstairs in the neighborhood.

And there was the time I told him I'd give him a reward outside the company restroom that day, and the time she and Xiaoyan chatted at my house on Yoona's birthday night, and...
Hey, wait.

Suddenly realizing that she was reviewing her memories with Chen Yan, and that there were more and more things she hadn't told Taeyeon and the others, Lee Soon-kyu was startled and quickly brought her thoughts to a halt.

Oh dear, Xiaoyan isn't deliberately bringing this up with me to embarrass me first.

Then, at an opportune moment, they gave me a way out, which suddenly relieved my tension.

Finally, you subconsciously start reviewing your memories, and you get a sudden realization, like, "Wow, I have so many shared memories with him," and your mind goes further astray.

Wow, Xiao Yan is so amazing now? Did he advance his level after being a scumbag for so long?

If Chen Yan knew about Li Shungui's wild imagination, he would definitely burst out laughing.

He's not that amazing.

Lee Soon-kyu's sister's thoughts are on par with the grandmaster of scumbags; he's nowhere near that level.

Chen Yan brought up that topic just now, which was indeed meant to test Li Shungui's thoughts.

Because in his view, his current relationship with this older sister is somewhat ambiguous.

If things continue to develop like this, then we will inevitably have to tell Kim Tae-yeon and the others.

However, Lee Soon-kyu's attitude and thoughts are very ambiguous. Most of the time he is normal, but there are always a few times when he will provoke him. It is unknown what his intentions are.

So he thought he could use the previous topic to probe the older woman's thoughts.

Then, after noticing that Lee Soon-kyu was standing there speechless and unable to answer, he gave her a way out so that the atmosphere between the two wouldn't become too awkward.

It's that simple, nothing more, absolutely not as complicated as Lee Soon-kyu thinks.

It can only be said that sometimes clever people are misled by their own cleverness, and the overthinking of clever people can sometimes be the most fatal.

If you don't believe me, try replacing him with Jessica Jung. Her thoughts would definitely come to an abrupt halt after the sudden realization that "I didn't know we had so many shared memories," and she would then fall into the contemplation of "Do I really like him?"

Why would anyone rationally analyze whether this is a tactic used by a scumbag to hook up with someone?

Over here, Lee Soon-kyu looked out the window, frowning and deep in thought for a long time, then turned to look at Chen Yan with an inscrutable expression.

Chen Yan, who had just parked his car in an empty spot in front of the supermarket, noticed the woman's gaze and asked, somewhat puzzled:

"What's wrong, Nuna?"

Lee Soon-kyu smiled and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I just wanted to say that I suddenly have a craving for fish. Can we make it tonight, Xiaoyan?"

"Of course! Let's make steamed sea bass then. That way you won't have to worry too much about it being too oily and high in calories."

"Okay, thank you, Xiaoyan."

"You're welcome, let's go then."

"it is good."

The two put on their masks and got out of the car. Chen Yan walked in front and pushed a shopping cart into the supermarket.

Lee Soon-kyu followed a few steps behind, his eyes flickering as he looked at Chen Yan's back.

Xiao Yan is really in a bit of danger.

Thinking about what happened between the two of them in the kitchen that morning, she pursed her lips.

I should try to avoid doing anything provocative in the future, otherwise I never know when I might get myself into trouble.

Although the previous accidents and rewards had their reasons, it can't be said that there weren't some ulterior motives involved, and I definitely need to be more careful in the future.

She's not a bad woman, she's not deliberately trying to hook up with Chen Yan or anything.

It's just that these kinds of things between men and women can be a bit intoxicating.

Having experienced it once, and with Chen Yan always cooperating, yet the two of them maintaining a good distance and never actually crossing the line, the thrill of that subtle tug-of-war sometimes made her subconsciously do something.

Finally, after concluding that Chen Yan was in some danger, Li Shungui reminded himself of this, breathed a sigh of relief, quickly adjusted his state, and stepped to catch up with Chen Yan.

Twenty minutes later, the two walked out of the supermarket carrying the groceries they had bought, along with some other miscellaneous items.

Looking down at the few scallions and ginger slices in her hand, Lee Soon-kyu pursed her lips.

It was this inexplicable feeling of being taken care of that made her feel that Chen Yan was dangerous.

Everything seemed to change after that morning.

Yes, Chen Yan and she are both like that.

Forget it, there's no use thinking too much. Like I said, I'll just be more careful in the future.

Lee Soon-kyu quickly adjusted her mindset, opened the car door, and got in.

On the way back, the two chatted from time to time, and the atmosphere in the car was very harmonious, but neither of them brought up the topics they had discussed on the way there.

Less than ten minutes later, the car drove back into the underground parking garage of the residential complex.

First, he accompanied Lee Soon-kyu to put some of the things she bought into her own home, and then the two went back to her home on the 12th floor together.

"Come back~"

Kim Tae-yeon and the other two were still sitting on the sofa watching TV. When they saw the two return, they greeted them with smiles.

"Hmm~"

Chen Yan carried the ingredients to the kitchen, while Lee Soon-kyu sat down next to Kim Tae-yeon.

She glanced at her older sister beside her, recalling her conversation with Chen Yan in the car about Bae Soo-ji. Her gossipy nature instinctively made her want to find out what else she didn't know about this family.

But she quickly realized her mistake and suppressed the impulse.

Sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing; the more you know, the deeper you can get into trouble.

Kim Tae-yeon noticed her gaze and smiled, "You asked about Soo-ji, didn't you?"

Kim Tae-yeon had a pretty good idea about her thoughtful teammate, with whom she had spent two lifetimes.

Lee Soon-kyu wasn't surprised and nodded, "Mm."

"Don't worry, we know about Xiaoyan and Xiuzhi's relationship."

Lee Soon-kyu nodded again: "Yes, Xiaoyan told me."

"Yes, you don't need to worry about Xiaoyan doing anything reckless outside. We've set boundaries for him, and he knows his limits."

Oh, so you drew a line for Xiaoyan.

Lee Soon-kyu nodded in realization: "Okay, I understand."

But soon, as if she had thought of something, she slowly opened her eyes wide and slightly opened her mouth.

Instead of feeling excited about the gossip, I felt a strange mix of emotions, as if I was trying to excuse myself.

This wasn't something I asked out of curiosity; it was something they fed to me. It has nothing to do with me.

Chen Yan then returned to the living room, sat down on the sofa, and continued to leisurely watch TV with the others.

Most celebrities spend their rest time at home like this, either sleeping or playing on their phones and watching TV.

Although it sounds boring, it's a rare opportunity for relaxation for them who are usually very busy.

Nearly two hours later, at 4:30 pm, seeing that it was almost time, Chen Yan got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Go into the kitchen, turn on the tap, and wash the cabbage in a basin of water.

At that moment, the kitchen door opened, and Jessica Jung walked in with a smile on her face.

"What's wrong, Nuna? Do you want some water?"

Jessica Jung shook her head: "No, I just missed you, so I came to see you."

Chen Yan smiled gently. This older sister was indeed the clingy, kitten-like type when she was at home.

After chatting for a while, Jessica Jung remembered something: "By the way, Xiaoyan, how are things going between you and Krystal lately?"

She came not only because she hadn't seen her man for a while and wanted to spend more time with him, but also because she wanted to ask him about his relationship with Jung Soo-jung.

If the two get along well, then she might not have to wait until the end of the tour; she could find a suitable time later to be honest with Krystal.

Chen Yan paused slightly while washing the vegetables: "It's fine."

She's so good to him that she dares to take her clothes off in front of him, can you believe it?

"That's good."

"However, we haven't had much communication these past few days. Soojung and Momo are very busy every day because of their comeback."

Jessica Jung nodded: "Oh, when they come back, Xiaoyan, you can visit Krystal and Tao on set or something, and show your thoughtfulness towards Tao. This will help improve your image with Krystal."

Looking at his older sister who was giving him advice, Chen Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, I understand, Nuna. I'll complete the mission."

"Hmm~"

Seeing her man so obedient, Jessica Jung smiled and rewarded him with a kiss.

But after the kiss, she seemed to remember something, her smile vanished, and she pouted slightly, issuing a warning:

"But you must be careful, Xiaoyan, and don't you dare make any moves on Xiujing."

Improving one's image is one thing, but necessary warnings are also essential.

Although she had said this several times before, she didn't mind saying it a few more times, because her man was a scumbag.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan couldn't help but smile again, raising his left hand: "I understand, Nuna. I promise I won't make a move on Xiujing."

He genuinely had no intention of making a move on Krystal Jung.

He turned away immediately when that girl took off her clothes, and he didn't even write down this serious provocation of the scumbag in his little notebook.

Jessica quickly pressed his hand down, pouting, and said, "I don't need you to swear. You know what you're doing."

"Hehe~"

Chen Yan chuckled and gave the older woman a light kiss on her soft, pink lips.

"Alright, I'm leaving. Xiaoyan, you can cook now. Thank you for your hard work."

"Ah."

Jessica Jung turned to leave the kitchen, but after taking two steps, she paused.

Turning to look at Chen Yan, she raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, her beautiful, aloof face slightly flushed.

"By the way, my SUV arrived, but I have a few days of travel planned and don't have time to pick it up. Xiaoyan, could you find some time to drive it back for me? As for the reward we talked about last time, we'll pay it off after the concert in Taiwan."

After saying that, she turned around and left the kitchen without looking back.

Behind him, Chen Yan's eyes lit up, and the smile on his lips immediately widened.

Yay! Soon I can play with the new car.

More than an hour later, a sumptuous dinner was ready.

The group sat down at the table as they had at noon, and this time they ate the meal in a very calm and harmonious manner.

After the meal, it was still Kim Tae-yeon and the others who took over the cleaning up.

After tidying up, the group returned to the living room, where they watched TV and played the board games that Lee Soon-kyu had brought from home last time.

They played until after 11 p.m. before Lee Soon-kyu and the others prepared to leave.

However, instead of going back to the dormitory, we'll go to our own rooms downstairs to sleep for the night, and then go back together the next morning.

"Xiuyan, why don't you come to my house for the night? I have all the things I need."

Kim Tae-yeon, with her hands behind her back, looked at Jessica Jung and said with a smile.

"understood."

Jessica Jung pursed her lips and glanced at Chen Yan beside her.

It's okay, it'll be her turn tomorrow night anyway.

However, what they didn't notice was that while they were talking, Chen Yan winked at Lim Yoona next to Jessica Jung, which earned him a coquettish reproach from the little deer.
