Peninsula: The Great Producer

"Why are you here?"

Qi Yaojiu didn't say that Li Zhien was asking a question he already knew the answer to.

She went to Gwangju to visit her grandmother and proactively revealed that she was in a relationship. Isn't it appropriate for her to leave her parents in Seoul alone?

This girl really has no sense of reason. Even if she wanted to ask, she should have asked when she was shopping in the mall. She had already figured it out and was afraid that she was just imagining things, so she only asked when she got to the Black Stone Cave.

The car was parked downstairs in the old apartment building rented by Lee Ji-eun's parents.

It's like someone just handed you a pillow when you're sleepy; the parking space seems to have been specially reserved for Qi Yaojiu.

He took out the gifts he bought at the mall from the back seat, and with both hands full, he didn't ask Lee Ji-eun for help.

staircase.

Lee Ji-eun walked ahead, turning back every step of the way.

She always wanted to help Qi Yao Jiu carry things and share the burden, unlike some couples who have complicated thoughts like no one dares to walk in front.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the third floor.

Qi Yaojiu nodded, and Li Zhien quickly ran to her parents' door and rang the doorbell.

Ding Dong
"coming"

The next second, a response came from inside the house.

Lee Ji-eun wondered if her parents had known they were coming all along and had been waiting for them.
Otherwise, why would there be an immediate response as soon as the doorbell is rung?

And logically, Mom and Dad should have just gotten off work at this time. Did they not go to work today?

Just like Lee Ji-eun's prediction when she saw Ki Yo-gu buying so many things at the mall, Lee Ji-eun's parents also made a prediction that Ki Yo-gu and Lee Ji-eun would come here today after returning to Seoul from Gwangju.

So, after lunch, I received a call from my grandma saying that after Qi Yaojiu and Li Zhien drove off, my parents both took half a day off from their companies.

Nothing is more important than seeing Qi Yaojiu.

Grandma had already told her son and daughter-in-law over the phone that Qi Yaojiu had personally admitted to her that he was dating Li Zhi'en.

Therefore, Ki Yo-gu's visit to the rented house today is not as Lee Ji-eun's friend, Lee Ji-eun's acquaintance, Lee Ji-eun's benefactor at work, or producer Ki Yo-gu PD.

Instead, it was the first time he appeared as Lee Ji-eun's boyfriend.

Even if you've met before and know each other, the feeling is completely different because of your different statuses.

Parents, of course, have been through it all. They must have thought about their children's romantic experiences as they grow up, and they must worry about their children encountering unsuitable partners and getting hurt in relationships.

They imagine what they should do if a very good person came to visit their home, and what they could do for their children.

I didn't expect to have to face it so soon.

It's about time I faced it. I'm 20 in the traditional Chinese age system and 19 in the real age system. It's a hundred times, a thousand times better than when I was 15 or 6 and secretly dated someone in school, causing trouble and bringing them home to meet the other person.

Art comes from life.

There are many similar cases in real life.

And it's almost always the girls who suffer losses.

Fortunately, Lee Ji-eun has always taken good care of herself, which is what her parents are most grateful for.

They weren't exactly good parents during Lee Ji-eun's upbringing, and they've always felt guilty about it. If they don't behave well today, it's like Lee Ji-eun is giving them a chance to ease their guilt, and if they don't seize it, then they'll be a complete failure.

Therefore, taking half a day off is nothing.

Even if they guess wrong in the end, it doesn't matter if Ki Yo-gu and Lee Ji-eun don't come here after returning to Seoul.

Fortunately, Lee Ji-eun and Ki Yo-gu arrived.

When the mother, who had gone to open the door, saw through the peephole that it was indeed Lee Ji-eun standing outside, she nodded emphatically to her husband in the living room, which relieved the couple.

The two quickly tidied their hair and clothes.

When the door opened, Lee Ji-eun's mother's first reaction was to lean out halfway to look to the side.

When Lee Ji-eun's mother saw Ki Yo-gu carrying a lot of things, she strode out to greet him, saying, "Aigoo, Yo-gu, why did you buy so many things?"

Lee Ji-eun, standing at the door, was a little confused.

Did Mom not see me?
He was right in front of her, so why was he ignored, while Qi Yaojiu, standing to the side, was warmly greeted? Hah.

Speechless.

Just because Qi Yaojiu is the future son-in-law?

As she thought about it, Lee Ji-eun's pretty face slowly turned red.

After helping her carry the things, Mom and Qi Yaojiu walked side by side toward the door. Seeing Li Zhi'en's flushed face, Mom said, "Zhi'en, aren't you going in?"

Lee Ji-eun said "Oh" and went inside.

Entrance hall.

It was because I could see a blurry figure on the other side.

As Lee Ji-eun changed her shoes, she looked up and saw her father standing straight in front of the living room, facing the entrance.

It's the kind where you stand perfectly straight.

This battle.

Is this for a TV series?

As Qi Yaojiu entered the house, his father, who was standing in the living room, came to greet him, saying, "It's Yaojiu! Welcome, welcome, welcome!"

Lee Ji-eun couldn't help but ask, "Mom and Dad, you know?"

Mom and Dad exchanged a glance, and Mom said, "Grandma called back."

Ki Yo-gu wasn't shy at all and replied, "Originally, Ji-eun and I should have come to meet with your parents first to tell them about our situation, but Ji-eun hasn't seen her grandmother in a long time, so I decided to take Ji-eun to Gwangju first. Please don't blame Ji-eun, Uncle and Aunt."

Mom and Dad quickly waved their hands.

"We are happy," Mom said.

Dad was even more satisfied with Qi Yaojiu. He was a man, responsible, and he was already protecting Li Zhi'en even though they were just dating. If they really got married, Li Zhi'en would definitely be very happy.

Come to the living room.

The fruit was prepared in advance.

Mom put away all the gifts that Qi Yao Jiu bought. It doesn't matter what the gifts are; the thought that counts is what matters most.

Mom pulled Lee Ji-eun to the kitchen.

Dad and Qi Yaojiu were left alone in the living room.

A cup of green tea was handed to Ki Yo-gu, and Lee Ji-eun's father said, "I remember Yo-gu, you like to drink green tea, right?"

Qi Yaojiu took the teacup with both hands. The cup was a little hot, so he quickly put it down and said, "Yes, I like the fragrance of green tea."

"I just don't know if this green tea is your usual kind of tea. Try it."

The smell is somewhat different from the H-made green tea sold in the mall. Although Qi Yaojiu doesn't know how to appreciate tea, it's strange that he can taste the difference between the Chinese-made and H-made teas.

It's clear that Lee Ji-eun's parents made many preparations beforehand after receiving her grandmother's call.

How disappointed the couple would be if I and Lee Ji-eun didn't come here this afternoon.

Seeing that Qi Yaojiu had taken a sip of tea, his father continued, "Yaojiu, is it true that you and Zhien are dating, as Grandma Zhien said?"

I couldn't resist asking because I wanted to hear Qi Yaojiu say it to me personally.

Qi Yaojiu smiled and said, "It's true, Zhi'en and I have decided to give dating a try."

“Great, great, it’s the right thing to date. You and Ji-eun have known each other for so many years, you understand each other, you live close by, and you can take care of each other. That’s wonderful.”

kitchen
Lee Ji-eun's mother, holding Lee Ji-eun's hand, asked the same question.

The difference was that Lee Ji-eun shyly replied, "Mom, I haven't agreed to date Oppa yet."

"Huh? You didn't agree?"

"It's not that I didn't agree, Oppa doesn't even have me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lee Ji-eun's mother interrupted, "Ji-eun, don't be like other girls, making a fuss about having a ceremony, about having to confess. You and Yao-gu have known each other for so many years, do you really need all that? Don't be confused, my daughter." (End of Chapter)
