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

Chapter 600 (Bonus): You're Pregnant?

September 2017, Baiyun International Airport, Guangdong Province, China.

One of the elevator doors in the underground parking garage slowly opened, and two figures wearing black masks stepped out of the elevator.

After looking around, one person took the other's hand and walked towards the extended van parked not far to the left.

As they approached, the nanny van door slowly opened, revealing a bright face that looked almost exactly the same as it had a few years ago.

Hehe~ oppa, Yoona unnie~

"Hmm~"

Chen Yan and Lin Yoona stepped into the car. Besides Taozi who opened the door, Kim Tae-yeon, Jung Soo-yeon, Lee Soon-kyu, Jung Soo-jung, Lee Ji-eun, and Bae Suzy were all in the car. All nine members of the family were present.

After the two got into the car and were seated, the driver slowly started the car and drove out of the underground parking garage.

At this moment, Kim Tae-yeon, who was sitting to Chen Yan's left, thought of something, opened the memo app on her phone, and handed it to him.

"Xiaoyan, these are the things we bought for Mom and Dad. Please check if there are any problems or if anything is missing. We'll go buy it now."

Taking the phone, Chen Yan didn't look at the memo, but looked at her and smiled, "Nuna, why are you so nervous? It's not like this is the first time you've met my parents."

Since 14, every year during the Spring Festival, people in his family who are free will go home with him to celebrate the New Year.

Over the course of three years, all eight members of his family had returned home with him.

But this is the first time that all eight of us have gone home together like this.

This time it just so happens to coincide with Girls' Generation's 10th anniversary contract renewal, so Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-ah, Jung Soo-yeon and Lee Soon-kyu are all available.

The four members renewed their contracts with SM Entertainment last month.

Kim Tae-yeon's plan is simple: continue her career as a singer, releasing one album a year, and then have a big comeback for her 15th anniversary to give back to her fans.

Yoona has shifted her focus to the film and television industry. Although SM Entertainment can't help her much in this area, she has her own studio and a high degree of autonomy, so she doesn't plan to switch companies.

Jessica Jung has now shifted her focus to the food and beverage industry.

The Girls' Generation-themed restaurant has been doing well in recent years, with branches expanding to several major cities on the peninsula.

Her plan is to continue running the restaurant and occasionally release an album to give back to her fans.

She's currently planning to open her own fashion brand store next year, just for fun, the kind of thing that's fun for her own enjoyment.

After all, design is her hobby.

As for Lee Soon-kyu...

She's determined to keep playing it safe.

Her exact words were: "I don't need to work hard in my career. Any one of my family members can support me for the rest of my life. I'm going into retirement early."

Tao and Jung Soo-jung are also still with SM Entertainment, and they both have their own personal studios and are pursuing their acting careers.

Bae Suzy also stayed at JYP. After all, with Chen Yan there, she was very comfortable at JYP and also had her own personal studio.

Lee Ji-eun also stayed at LOEN, but LOEN was acquired by Kakao last year.

Everyone had a lot of autonomy, and since the two older sisters, Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah, were both available, they discussed it and decided to go home together.

Hearing Chen Yan's words, Kim Tae-yeon pouted: "I'm not nervous. It's just that this time all eight of us are going back together, so of course we have to prepare more formally."

"That's it."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Alright, alright, but there really is no need to prepare anything special. You know my parents' personalities to some extent, this is enough."

Chen Yan glanced at Kim Tae-yeon's phone notes and smiled.

"That's true, my parents don't really value this aspect."

Thinking of the beautiful woman who had taught her how to play mahjong during last year's Lunar New Year, Lim Yoona couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hmm~ When I came back with Ji-eun unnie and Tao, my mom took us to play around the area for several days."

Bae Suzy smiled and chimed in.

"Yes, yes."

“Dad is also very interesting. Last time I saw him and Mom hugging each other, sitting in the backyard chatting and admiring the moon. When he turned around and saw me, he was a little embarrassed.”

The eight people chatted in the car, which eventually stopped in front of a three-story villa.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man and woman waiting at the door, the group quickly opened the door and got out of the car.

"Mom and Dad, why are you waiting at the door?"

"correct."

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah walked up to the two of them, and simultaneously switched to Chinese.

Over the past two years, several members of my family have been practicing Chinese. While we wouldn't say they are fluent, they generally have no problem communicating in daily life.

The group of girls who came down later also greeted them.

Chen's mother was wearing a cheongsam. Although she was in her fifties, she looked like she was in her early thirties. She had fair skin and a beautiful face, and she also had a gentle and graceful temperament that came with age.

Looking at the eight people gathered in front of him for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Although she had known about her son's situation for a long time and had met several people over the past two years, being called "Mom" by eight beautiful girls with different temperaments was still quite a shock.

Chen's father, who was wearing a black shirt next to him, also looked to be in his early thirties, with handsome and well-defined features.

After all, given that they were born with Chen Yan's face, their looks couldn't be too bad either.

Seeing this, he raised an eyebrow slightly. Although his face didn't show much surprise, he thought to himself:

"My son is awesome! He's worthy of being my son. He's only slightly inferior to me back in my day."

Chen's mother quickly came to her senses, smiled gently, and patted Kim Tae-yeon's hand, who was holding her.

"Your dad and I knew you had arrived, so we came out to meet you. Come on, come on, come inside. You must be tired from the journey. Come inside and rest. I've already asked the housekeeper to cook, and we'll be able to eat in a little while."

Seeing that Chen's mother was about to turn and go into the house, Chen Yan blinked and said, "Mom, you didn't even say goodbye to me."

Chen's mother paused, glancing at him sideways: "What's there to greet? Why don't you come in yourself? You're not short of legs. Don't disturb my conversation with Taeyeon and the others."

After saying that, she turned to look at Kim Tae-yeon and the others, and a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Come on, let's go inside and ignore him."

"puff"

Upon hearing this, all eight of them couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Yan paused, looked at the backs of the group as they entered the house, and then looked at his father.

Mr. Chen immediately turned around, put his hands behind his back, and leisurely followed them into the house.

Standing there, Chen Yan smiled helplessly.

Sigh, this is the manifestation of the younger brother's position in the family.

The group went inside and sat down on the sofa in the living room. After chatting for a while, lunch was ready. They moved to the dining room, where Chen's mother warmly greeted Kim Tae-yeon and the others.

"These are all the dishes that Xiaoyan said you like to eat, so please eat more."

Okay~ Thank you, Mom~

Chen Yan ate his meal silently without saying a word.

If you don't speak, you won't be hanged.

Everyone ate their meal chatting and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere.

At this moment, Jessica Jung's expression suddenly changed. She subconsciously covered her mouth and got up to run towards the bathroom not far away.

"what happened?"

Chen's mother was taken aback when she saw this, and then glanced at the dishes on the table: "There's no cucumber in any of the dishes."

Jung Soo-jung, who was standing next to her, quickly said, "It's okay, Mom. Jessica probably just has an upset stomach these past couple of days. She had the same thing yesterday."

Kim Tae-yeon also stood up and said, "I'll go check on Mom. It's okay, you guys eat first."

"It happened yesterday too."

Watching Kim Tae-yeon walk into the bathroom, Chen's mother murmured something, then suddenly looked at Chen Yan as if she had thought of something.

"Could Xiuyan be... pregnant?"

Pregnant?
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment.

The others were also taken aback.

Krystal Jung: I'm going to be an aunt?!
Others: We're going to be aunties?! We're having a baby?!
The group blinked, snapped out of their daze, and their gazes all turned to Lin Yoona, who was sitting there.

Yoona's doe-like eyes widened slightly, clearly still not quite recovered from her shock.

In the bathroom.

Kim Tae-yeon handed two tissues to Jessica Jung, who had finished rinsing her mouth, and said with concern:
"Are you alright, Xiuyan? Should we go to the hospital to get checked out later?"

Jessica wiped her mouth and shook her head slightly: "It's nothing. It's probably because of the sashimi I ate the night before last. I felt a little unwell yesterday morning."

"Was it like this all day yesterday?"

"Yeah, there's always a feeling of nausea." Jessica Jung nodded.

Kim Tae-yeon frowned, then a sudden flash of inspiration struck her, and her eyes widened, her lips slightly parted.

"You...you're not pregnant, are you?"

Jessica Jung was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to react: "No way?"

Have you and Xiaoyan been forgetting to wear umbrellas lately?

After recalling for a moment, Jessica Jung blushed slightly: "It happened once the month before last. There was no one at home at the time, and I thought it was my safe period, so..."

"That means she might be pregnant."

"."

Jessica Jung pursed her lips and glanced at Taeyeon Kim secretly.

Seeing her frowning, she suddenly became nervous and didn't dare to say a word.

Upon concluding that Jessica Jung might be pregnant, everyone lost their appetite and immediately went to a private hospital with excellent privacy for a checkup.

"You are indeed pregnant. The fetus is currently about three weeks old and is very healthy."

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Jessica Jung opened her mouth in a daze.

Am I really pregnant?

Late at night, at home.

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Jessica Jung, who had been looking dazed and lost in thought, snapped out of her reverie upon hearing the voice and responded.

The door opened, and Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah walked in, with Kim Tae-yeon holding a cup of hot milk.

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

But for some reason, upon seeing this, Jessica Jung subconsciously shrank her neck and slightly tightened her grip on the corner of the blanket.

Noticing her movement, Lim Yoona blinked and looked at her with a half-smile.

"Unnie, you're not thinking about something weird, are you? Like, Taeyeon unnie and I are here to force you to abort the baby, or that we put abortion pills in the milk or something."

Kim Tae-yeon paused for a moment, then couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Hey, Jessica Jung, stop watching palace dramas all the time. What are you thinking about?"

"I I didn't."

Jessica Jung blushed slightly and stiffened her neck as she spoke.

Although she did think that for a moment just now.

"It's just a regular cup of hot milk."

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah placed the milk on the bedside table and sat down on the edge of the bed.

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jessica Jung and said, "Yoona and I just discussed it, and Jessica, your current situation shouldn't have too much of an impact on having children."

“Your work is mainly focused on the restaurant right now, so you don’t appear in public very often. Once you start showing your pregnancy, you can just stay home and rest. You can still work from home.”

"You can just post selfies and interact with fans on social media platforms during your normal working hours, and then go back to work after the baby is born."

Yoona, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement.

Jessica Jung pursed her lips: "Okay, I understand."

"Well, once the baby is born, you can take care of the baby when you have time. If you have to work, you can let your parents or uncles and aunts take care of the baby. If that's not possible, you can let Soon-kyu take care of the baby. She's free anyway."

Lee Soon-kyu: Am I a wet nurse now?
Jessica Jung couldn't help but smile: "Okay~ I understand."

"Okay, just let us know if you need anything. You need to be more careful in the future; you're not alone anymore."

After chatting for a while, Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah got up and left.

After glancing at the closed door, Jessica Jung looked down at her stomach and gently stroked it a few times.

As if she had thought of something, she wrinkled her nose and hummed twice.

Hmph~ You can't blame me for this. I didn't plan to rely on my child for status. Who knew I'd get hit with one shot?

Tsk tsk~ Now she's really going to rise in status because of her son.
