Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

Chapter 95 Kim Tae-yeon: We'll have to use some special methods.

As night fell, inside the villa...

"Okay, Jiayuan. I'll see about the replacement when I get to the company tomorrow."

Chen Ran hung up the phone, and Kim Tae-yeon's voice sounded behind him.

"What's wrong, Xiaoran? What happened?"

Chen Ran turned to Kim Tae-yeon, who was standing at the study door, and explained, "My assistant, Han Jiayuan, told me that the actress who was originally cast as Lee Kang-joo, the third female lead in 'School 2013,' was injured in a car accident due to driver fatigue, so she will most likely be unable to play the role."

"Oh? Do you have any other suitable candidates?"

"Originally, Liu Xiaoying was supposed to play this role, but I replaced her with someone else. Now that she's injured, I have to find someone else."

"Liu Xiaoying?"

Kim Tae-yeon frowned, feeling like she'd heard the name somewhere before.

"Her sister is Liu Huaying," Chen Ran explained.

"Oh, it's her." Kim Tae-yeon realized.

Not many people may know Liu Xiaoying, but almost everyone in the industry knows Liu Huaying.

The T-ara incident back then had a huge impact on public opinion and influence.

"That person really isn't suitable. Xiao Ran, do you have time to find other actors?"

"There should be enough time."

Although an accident occurred just before the machine was turned on, which would cause some trouble, he wasn't really worried.

The character Li Jiangzhu doesn't have many scenes and isn't a core character, so the requirements for the actress are not high.

There are plenty of unemployed actors on the peninsula, so finding a replacement shouldn't be a big problem.

"Oh, that's good."

Kim Tae-yeon nodded, looked at Chen Ran, and pursed her lips as she thought about the purpose of her visit.

"Xiao Ran, I... have something I want to tell you."

"What's wrong, Nuna?"

"that is..."

Kim Tae-yeon unconsciously clenched her hands slightly.

"Actually, I lied to you about Jessica going to China to prepare for the event. She didn't go to China these past few days, and I hadn't contacted Jessica before. I only arranged to meet her today."

Chen Ran was taken aback.

Seeing his expression, Kim Tae-yeon lowered her head slightly and whispered, "I'm sorry, Ran."

After Jessica left, she thought about it for a long time and finally decided to confess to Chen Ran that she had lied to him before.

The reason is also very simple.

Telling one lie means having to tell more lies to cover it up.

Jessica covered for her today, but who knows when she might suddenly be exposed?

The longer a lie is told, the more it damages relationships.

Rather than planting such a time bomb, Kim Tae-yeon felt it was better to be honest now.

She didn't want to lie to Chen Ran at all.

But in that situation, it seemed she had no choice but to lie.

Humans are inherently selfish, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

She had finally managed to see Chen Ran again, so how could she just let him go and let Jessica come and bother her?

Kim Tae-yeon was very nervous at this moment.

Lying is a very bad thing, even if it's her first time. To put it bluntly, it can affect the trust between two people.

"What if Xiaoran really hates me because of this?" Kim Tae-yeon's heart sank.

Just then, Chen Ran's voice rang in her ears: "Nuna, can you tell me why you did this?"

His voice held neither anger nor indifference; it was simply a normal inquiry, as always.

Kim Tae-yeon quickly explained, "Because I don't want Jessica to bother us. If she knew you were here, she would definitely come over every day."

As she spoke, she suddenly tilted her head slightly and pouted, saying, "You and Jessica have been living together for a month now. If she comes over every day, your heart will definitely be with her. What am I supposed to do? I finally managed to see you again."

Chen Ran smiled helplessly upon hearing this, but also found the older sister's current appearance rather adorable.

"Why did Nuna tell me this again? After all, Sika just covered for Nuna."

37

Kim Tae-yeon looked directly at Chen Ran: "Because I don't want to keep lying to you."

Her gaze was sincere and clear.

Faced with such sincerity and clarity, Chen Ran's gaze instinctively darted away.

Realizing what he had done, he smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Nuna, for being honest with me."

Seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon was delighted and tentatively asked, "Xiao Ran, you're not angry with me, are you?"

Chen Ran shook his head: "No, Nuna, you've already confessed to me, so why should I be angry? But please try not to lie to me again in the future."

No one likes lies or being lied to.

Kim Tae-yeon immediately raised her hand and held up three fingers: "I swear, I will never lie to you again, Xiao Ran."

Chen Ran was somewhat amused and exasperated: "No need to make such a serious oath, I believe you, Nuna."

"Hehe~ This is more sincere."

"Noona, I also need to talk to Representative Yoon about the accident involving the actor."

"Okay, you're busy, I'll go back to my bedroom first."

"it is good."

Kim Tae-yeon walked away with her hands behind her back and light steps.

Behind him, Chen Ran watched her walk away, but the smile on his lips gradually faded, and finally, he sighed softly.

He had sensed Kim Tae-yeon's feelings for him from the very first day she arrived.

But as they spent the next few days together, he realized that he had underestimated Kim Tae-yeon's feelings.

These past few days, no matter what it was, whenever he asked Kim Tae-yeon in a consultative tone, the answer was always just one word: "Okay~".

One time, Chen Ran couldn't hold back any longer and said to this older sister, "Nuna, you don't have to always give in to me."

Kim Tae-yeon simply winked at him, smiled, and replied, "Okay~"

Chen Ran once doubted whether Kim Tae-yeon was just naturally easy to talk to.

It wasn't until he saw Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica bickering today, and saw a different side of Kim Tae-yeon for the first time, that he realized it wasn't what he thought.

Kim Tae-yeon is actually just easy to talk to in front of him, and she's the kind of person who's completely obedient to him.

At this moment, Chen Ran even felt that if he rushed out and caught up with Kim Tae-yeon, he could kiss her directly.

Instead of resisting, Kim Tae-yeon would respond and comply after a brief moment of surprise, and then naturally get everything done.

Having figured this out, Chen Ran couldn't help but sigh again.

He actually felt a lot of pressure facing Kim Tae-yeon's intense and extreme feelings.

Because there's another Jessica there.

But to be honest, even with Jessica around, he couldn't help but be moved by Kim Tae-yeon.

It's not about morality, it's about instinct.

Chen Ran did not deny his attraction to Kim Tae-yeon.

If you're moved, you're moved; it won't just disappear because you deny it.

Would you be attracted to a woman who is rich, beautiful, and completely devoted to you?

Chen Ran felt that he was standing at a crossroads, and if he took the wrong step, he would be on a path of no return.

Meanwhile, Kim Tae-yeon returned to her bedroom, her smile never fading.

Xiao Ran was neither angry with her nor did she dislike her.

Choosing to confess proactively was definitely the right decision.

This is for the best, and it will prevent Jessica from using this as leverage against her and making any ulterior motives.

The thought of Jessica made Kim Tae-yeon feel a little annoyed.

That bitch, she actually dared to hug Chen Ran right in front of her.

No, we'll have to deduct another 10 minutes from her time next week.

Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Kim Tae-yeon frowned as she thought about it.

Although he had set his own rules to limit her, Jessica was clearly not the type to listen obediently.

She's probably figuring out how to exploit this loophole right now.

The safest approach right now is to win Xiaoran over as soon as possible.

This way, she'll feel more confident when facing Jessica in the future.

Kim Tae-yeon took out her phone and opened the notes app.

[Pushing Xiao Ran Down (One Week)]

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

A week has almost passed.

During this week together, Kim Tae-yeon clearly felt that her relationship with Chen Ran had progressed a lot.

But there is still a considerable gap between them and their lover.

but...

It seems we can no longer develop in the conventional way.

Jessica is still lurking outside, eyeing him covetously.

Judging from the way that woman rushed over to hug Xiao Ran just now, if she hadn't been home today, she probably would have pushed Xiao Ran away.

By this time next year, the baby might already be born.

Kim Tae-yeon pursed her lips, her eyes flickering.

Special circumstances require special treatment, and sometimes special measures may be necessary.

She's already a step too late; she can't afford to fall behind any further.

This time, she had to get one step ahead of that woman Jessica.

With a determined look in her eyes, Kim Tae-yeon tapped her phone screen to create a new memo and typed the word "Plan".

At this moment, these two sworn enemies inexplicably thought of the same thing again.

The following morning, in HD Company's conference room...

Assistant Han Jiayuan handed a stack of resumes to Chen Ran.

"Oppa, this is a list of actors we compiled last night who are suitable to play the role of Lee Kang-joo. They all have basic skills and experience, and their schedules are all quite suitable."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Jiayuan."

Chen Ran smiled and nodded, then took out a bank card from Shi Baoshi and handed it to her.

"I'll go buy coffee for my colleagues who worked overtime with me last night, and I'll also order lunch for them while I'm at it."

Having already become familiar with Chen Ran's style of doing things, Han Jiayuan didn't refuse. She cheerfully accepted the card, saying, "Hehe, thank you, oppa. Oppa, take a look first, and if you think it's suitable, take it out. We'll celebrate together later."

"it is good."

Chen Ran looked down at the resumes in front of him and quickly screened the candidates.

girl's day Lee Hyeri.

The image is quite suitable, and the age is also appropriate; it can be kept.

Kim Yoo-jung.

She debuted as a female celebrity and has a wealth of acting experience. Although she is young and her face is a bit too delicate, she has great potential.

The problem is, since the hugely popular drama "The Moon Embracing the Sun" has just finished airing, she might not be interested in the role of the third female lead, which is written by a newcomer screenwriter.

I'm not considering it anymore.

Chen Ran quickly flipped through the resumes in front of him, and only two seemed suitable so far.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.

A short-haired girl with bright, innocent eyes.

Ham Eun-jung, born on December 12, 1988, is from Gangneung, Gangwon Province, and is a member of the girl group T-ara.

Ham Eun-jung, huh?

Chen Ran had heard of her; she was a member of the same group as Park Jiyeon, and a female idol from the Peninsula with a unique androgynous style.

He looked down at his acting career.

She debuted as a female star and has some acting experience. Judging from her resume, she is more than qualified to play the role of Li Jiangzhu.

Chen Ran couldn't help but turn his gaze back to the photo.

If you remove the delicate eyeliner, it would indeed suit you very well.

Although Ham Eun-jung was born in 88, which is a bit older than high school students, she doesn't look old at all.

Didn't you see that Park Se-young was also born in 88, but he's also competing for the role of Song Ha-jung?

Chen Ran tapped Ham Eun-jung's resume twice with his finger.

If Ham Eun-jung were to play the role, it would be a significant boost to the drama.

Tara is now a top-tier girl group on the Korean Peninsula.

After quickly finishing his consideration, he took out Ham Eun-jung's resume and handed it to Han Jia-yuan, who was standing next to him.

"Go contact CCM and ask if Ham Eun-jung can play this role."
