Peninsula: Starting with the nation's first love, the white moonlight

Chapter 87: The Mother-in-Law Views Her Son-in-Law?

Half an hour later, Kim Tae-yeon drove Lee Lu-ran and Kim Ha-yeon slowly into her residential compound.

The car was moving at an alarmingly slow speed; even a child riding a bicycle on the side of the road could easily overtake her.

She never dreamed that she would bring Li Luran back to her hometown in such an outrageous way today.

Perhaps one day in the future, if they really do end up together, she can bring him home with a clear conscience.

But it's still far from being finalized. Isn't this progress too fast?

As her house drew closer, Kim Tae-yeon grew increasingly uneasy, not even daring to look at Lee Lu-ran.

For Li Luran, today was nothing short of an undeserved disaster. He'd only asked Kim Tae-yeon to take him to check in, and now she'd come to his door?! And want to stay overnight?! What kind of nonsense is this?!

Despite his composed and steady demeanor, he was actually just as flustered as Kim Tae-yeon inside.

The happiest person in the car was none other than Kim Ha-yeon. The little girl's expression of wanting to laugh but desperately trying to hold it in was both comical and adorable.

"Hey, Kim Ha-yeon, if you want to laugh, just laugh out loud! Don't hold it in!"

Kim Tae-yeon completely lost her composure. First, she was misunderstood by her father, then she was driven half to death by that bastard Kim Ji-yong, and now even this little girl is making fun of her. What prestige will she have left in the Kim family?

"Pfft, unnie, I never thought you'd be in this situation, hahaha!"

Accompanied by Kim Ha-yeon's silvery laughter, the Mercedes-Benz came to a smooth stop in front of a small villa.

Kim Tae-yeon angrily pushed open the car door and got out, then grabbed Kim Ha-yeon, who was still secretly laughing, and pulled her out.

She rubbed the little girl's face hard several times before she felt a little better.

"Unnie, you bullied me, boohoo, I'm going to tell Mom!" The little girl covered her face and cried in a fake way.

Kim Tae-yeon rolled her eyes, clearly immune to this tactic: "Alright, stop pretending. If you can help me get through this today, your allowance will double next month."

"Really, unnie?"

Upon hearing this, Kim Ha-yeon immediately jumped up excitedly.

"Unnie, you have to keep your word!" Afraid that Kim Tae-yeon would go back on her word, Kim Ha-yeon rushed to the front and pushed the door open.

She stood in the entryway and playfully waved to Li Luran and Kim Tae-yeon.

"Unnie, and Lu Ran oppa, come in quickly!"

As soon as I stepped into the house, a rich aroma of food wafted out.

Li Luran took a light sniff; the aroma seemed to be from Korean-style braised pork ribs.

Actually, when he first came to the peninsula to study, he couldn't get used to the Korean food here at all.

But of all the traditional dishes, this braised pork ribs was the only one that always suited his taste.

"Xia Yan, is that you back?" A gentle voice came from the kitchen.

Kim Ha-yeon quickly changed into her slippers and dashed into the kitchen.

Li Luran stood stiffly in the entryway, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.

After changing her shoes, Kim Tae-yeon looked at Lee Lu-ran's nervous expression and found it strangely amusing.

So this guy can panic too? Kim Tae-yeon certainly couldn't miss the chance to see Li Luran make a fool of himself.

So she tiptoed around to his left, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear.

"Hey, what are you daydreaming about!"

Li Luran was already a bit tense, and Kim Tae-yeon's sudden fright made him jump.

He instinctively took a big step back, and his back slammed into the cabinet next to the entrance with a loud thud.

There were many photo frames on the cabinet, mostly photos of the Jin family's three children.

When Li Luran bumped into the cabinet, a large picture frame on top shook violently several times, and it looked like it was about to fall down.

"Be careful!"

Li Luran reacted quickly, grabbing Kim Tae-yeon's arm and pulling her towards him.

"Crack!" The glass picture frame shattered with a sound, shards of glass scattered all over the floor.

Hearing the noise outside, the mother and daughter in the kitchen rushed out to check what was happening.

They had just run out of the kitchen when they stumbled upon this intimate scene: Li Luran was holding Kim Tae-yeon's arm with one hand and had his other arm around her waist.

Kim Tae-yeon nestled against Lee Lu-ran like a little bird, her eyes still somewhat dazed, clearly not yet recovered from the shock she had just experienced.

"Oh my god, Mom, look! I told you their relationship was definitely not ordinary!" Kim Ha-yeon excitedly pointed at the two people in the entryway.

Mrs. Jin opened her mouth in surprise, but quickly regained her composure, even a meaningful smile appearing on her face.

She didn't disturb the young couple, turned around and went back to the kitchen, took off her apron, and then walked back to the living room.

At this moment, Li Luran also realized what was happening and hurriedly let go.

Kim Tae-yeon blushed and squatted down silently to pick up the scattered pieces.

Seeing this, Li Luran also helped her clean up the mess.

"Oh dear, get up, get up quickly! Don't cut your hands!" Mrs. Jin hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. "DaeDae, how can you let a guest do such a dangerous job?"

"You two hurry up and sit on the sofa. I'll get a broom and sweep it up in a bit."

Lee Luran and Kim Tae-yeon were thus ushered to the sofa in the living room by Kim's mother.

The two sat side by side, their gazes drifting elsewhere, neither daring to look the other in the eye.

Li Luran's palms were sweating, and he was so embarrassed that he felt like he could dig a seaside villa out of the Jin family's house with his toes.

After cleaning up the shards, Mrs. Jin came over with a cup of hot tea.

She handed the teacup to Li Luran, then kept giving Kim Tae-yeon meaningful glances, wanting her to quickly introduce the teacup.

Kim Tae-yeon kept her head down, and it took several calls from her mother before she finally snapped out of her daze.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Jin looked helplessly at her eldest daughter and sighed inwardly.

This girl usually seems quite clever, but now that she's in a relationship, she's turned into a block of wood.

"Mom, don't count on Unnie."

At this moment, Kim Ha-yeon ran over from the kitchen after washing her hands, pointing at Lee Lu-ran with a grin.

"I already questioned him in the car earlier. This handsome oppa seems to be the boyfriend that unnie is secretly dating behind our backs."

"No, Mom, please don't listen to Xia Yan's nonsense."

Kim Tae-yeon got anxious, glared at her younger sister, and silently muttered "pocket money".

Kim Ha-yeon blinked innocently and gestured with her lips toward her mother standing to the side, indicating that she couldn't help.

Seeing that Kim Ha-yeon couldn't be relied on, Kim Tae-yeon had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain to her mother, "His name is Lee Lu-ran. We're just ordinary friends. He's really not my boyfriend."

Under Kim's mother's watchful eye, Taeyeon's voice grew softer and softer, her attempt to cover up her guilt making her seem like a guilty thief to anyone who saw her.

Kim Tae-yeon couldn't take it anymore and gave Lee Lu-ran a pleading look.

Li Luran had no choice but to stand up and bow respectfully to Mrs. Kim: "Hello, Auntie. I apologize for disturbing you on your first visit. My name is Li Luran, and Taeyeon and I are just ordinary friends."

Mrs. Jin sized up Li Luran a few times. He was handsome and very polite. She nodded in satisfaction.

"Since you're DaeDae's friend, I won't stand on ceremony and will just call you Lu Ran." Mrs. Jin's smile was gentle and kind. "There's a question I hope you'll tell me honestly."

"Auntie, please ask," Li Luran replied respectfully.

"How long have you been dating DaeDae?"
