The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 265 I'm his girlfriend, who are you?

Women are most afraid of being too serious.

Lim Nayeon and Lee Ji-eun, gazing at each other from afar, exchanged glances for a moment, their faces bearing the warm smiles of seniors and juniors reunited after a long separation. However, what they were thinking remains a mystery.

The latter broke the silence first.

"Nayeon, what are you doing here?" Lee Ji-eun walked towards Lim Nayeon with a warm smile on her face.

"Ah, I, I have an interview here, so I'm just getting acquainted with you." Although Lim Nayeon was fearless just now, the moment she saw Lee Ji-eun, a senior in the industry, standing in front of her, the little rabbit who only talked big in her mind became timid again.

"Oh, I see. We really need to prepare well for the interview." Lee Ji-eun glanced at the paper in Lim Na-yeon's hand; the lines of paper did indeed look like interview material.

"Don't stand, sit down." Lee Ji-eun affectionately took her arm, looking completely at ease, as if she were the lady of the house, and gestured for Lim Na-yeon to sit down.

"I didn't even get a chance to speak backstage at the last awards ceremony, which was a real shame... um?"

Lee Ji-eun looked at Lim Na-yeon, who suddenly stood up beside her, and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"I..." Lim Nayeon looked at Lee Ji-eun, who had a warm and refreshing smile on her face, and felt a surge of anger.

Lee Ji-eun immediately brought up her backstage connections, and Lim Na-yeon's mind flashed back to the image of the wicked woman in front of her taking Bae Young-joon's hand, making her feel like she was being cuckolded.

So many people are secretly holding hands, don't they have any shame?

Why are you putting on airs here? Anyone who didn't know better would think she was the president's wife, when she's clearly the girlfriend.

Green-clad cowards have courage, and Lin Na-yeon, in a moment of impulsiveness, stood up abruptly.

"I, um, um..." As soon as she stood up, Lim Nayeon looked at Lee Ji-eun's smile full of seniority and asked, forcing herself to speak, "Senior-nim, is there something you need today?"

"Yes, Kakao Entertainment is another shareholder this time. I came here with people from the company to discuss some things with the newspaper," Lee Ji-eun said calmly.

"Oh, I see." Lin Nayeon said dryly, then ran out of words. Her legs, which had been sore from standing all night, started to ache, and she reluctantly sat down.

"Sit down, Nayeon. Standing is tiring." Lee Ji-eun looked at Lim Nayeon, who was about to sit down again, but patted the sofa next to her with a smile. "Come on, sit down."

Their eyes met, and Lim Nayeon suddenly didn't want to sit anymore. "Senior, I don't want to sit anymore. I'm tired of sitting."

Pshaw, I won't listen to her.

I won't sit.

Lim Nayeon stood stubbornly to the side, her legs getting more and more sore the longer she stood. Compared to Lee Ji-eun on the sofa, she looked like a primary school student being punished by her teacher.

What's even more infuriating is that, as she stood there, she suddenly heard giggling coming from the side.

Lim Nayeon immediately turned her head away, only to see Lee Ji-eun looking down at her phone.

She looked up at Lim Nayeon innocently, her slightly childish eyes blinking as if she didn't understand what she was looking at. "Nayeon? What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

"N-nothing." Lim Nayeon turned her head away again, her face scrunched up like a little bun.

Angry.

Really angry.

But I'm too tongue-tied; I don't know what to say.

Lin Na-yeon, who could only stand there helplessly, was so angry that she wanted to cry.

Looking at Lim Nayeon standing blankly to the side, Lee Ji-eun couldn't help but stick out her little tongue, her eyebrows curving into a smile, silently laughing.

Wow, is it that bad?

so fun.

She casually crossed her legs and scrolled through her phone, feeling quite comfortable, when suddenly she heard Lim Nayeon's voice in her ear.

"Um, senior, the newspaper is very powerful, and President Pei is also very capable. Please rest assured about the cooperation."

Lim Nayeon's mind raced through countless dramas about wealthy families' feuds, her face flushed red, and it took her a long time to finally manage to utter a single sentence.

Saying it like that should make it sound more imposing, right?

She looked at Lee Ji-eun, who was engrossed in her phone. Lee Ji-eun paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked up at her and blinked. "You know President Bae very well?"

"It's alright, we have a pretty good relationship, we're good friends." Lim Nayeon didn't dare to say that she was Bae Young-joon's girlfriend, so she could only hint at it.

“Nayeon,” Lee Ji-eun looked at Lim Nayeon, whose cheeks were puffed up like little bread rolls, and her smile faded slightly, “You…”

"How long have you been dating President Pei?"

Their eyes met, and Lim Nayeon's eyes widened.

"how do you know?"

She blurted it out, then realized her mistake and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.

"Oh, so Nayeon, you're President Bae's girlfriend. I'm sorry, I really didn't know." Lee Ji-eun smiled and stood up, staring at Lim Nayeon with a hint of disdain, feigning surprise.

"I really didn't know he had a girlfriend."

“This is private, there’s no need to tell you, senior, right?” Seeing Lee Ji-eun’s disdainful look, Lim Na-yeon impulsively retorted.

Lee Ji-eun's smile faltered.

But Nayeon hadn't finished speaking.

"If you don't know, you can ask Bae, Bae, Oppa!"

"Aren't you his good friend?"

“Oppa is very good to me.”

Since I've already let it slip, I might as well say it and make you furious!

Seeing her humiliated expression, Lim Nayeon felt incredibly pleased.

"Privacy? Okay, I'll ask." Lee Ji-eun took a deep breath, almost unable to suppress the smile on her face.

No wonder Lim Nayeon was so bold today; she really is my girlfriend.

Not to mention myself, even Sulli was ranked lower.

Good, really good.

Bae Young-joon, you are absolutely amazing!

He'd only been president for a few minutes when women started coming one after another.

Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes inwardly, turned around and sat down on the sofa opposite her, her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, feeling extremely frustrated.

Okay, okay.

You two are boyfriend and girlfriend, right? You're deeply in love, aren't you?

I'm the only wild woman!

Lee Ji-eun almost bit her teeth to pieces when she saw Lim Na-yeon's lips curling up involuntarily.

Damn it, even if you don't go to Sherry, can't you go to me?
Although, I certainly wouldn't agree to it.

Lee Ji-eun silently rejected Bae Young-joon's confession.

Looking at Lee Ji-eun's sullen face, Lim Na-yeon snorted inwardly, feeling that she had finally won a round, and almost burst out laughing.

cut~
I'm the girlfriend, aren't you jealous?

Being a girlfriend is great!
She pursed her lips happily, but then suddenly remembered that she had excitedly told others about her girlfriend, and wondered if Bae Yong-joon would scold her. Her little face scrunched up again.

Then, she remembered that her girlfriend was about to expire, and that she had offended Lee Ji-eun, a senior in the industry. If she didn't have this protection next time, she might be bullied to death.

Sigh, it's all Bae Young-joon's fault, I'll bite him to death!
