The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 266 Infiltrating the Investigator, right?
Lim Nayeon gritted her teeth, sat down on the sofa in a huff, and took out her phone.

[Angry.jPG]

She bombarded Twice's group chat with a bunch of unhappy emojis.

Sana Minatozaki: What's wrong?
Lim Na-yeon: I met an annoying woman. She's shameless; she's throwing herself at someone who already has a girlfriend.

Son Chaeyoung: Who is it? Do I know them?
The group chat instantly became lively, with everyone's eyes lighting up at the mention of such gossip.

Of course, Lim Nayeon didn't mention Lee Ji-eun's name, but she still gave a good rant.

In short, she's an annoying woman. She's short, has a flat nose, looks like a primary school student, and has an arrogant attitude.

She looked up and glanced at Lee Ji-eun, who was sitting down, her gaze lingering on the slightly voluptuous curves of her chest.

[It's definitely a tablet. You'll need a pad just to go out; let's see who ends up with a mouthful of silicone!]

Lin Na-yeon viciously punched and kicked in the group chat.

Mina casually remarked: "Unnie, what's wrong with taking a bite? Don't steal my cookies next time."

【Hey! I wasn't talking about you...】

Lee Ji-eun glanced at Lim Na-yeon, who was struggling with her phone, and curled her lips.

What is Bae Young-joon thinking?
Did you really talk to her?
Why should it be her turn?

She felt inexplicably agitated and wanted to ignore Pei Yongjun, but then she remembered the image of him surrounded by admirers she had seen through the conference room window, and a sense of reluctance crept in.

Oh dear, the man I painstakingly raised, is it not your turn yet!

hateful.

She couldn't help but open Choi Sulli's chat window.

[Sherry?]

【Hmm? Unnie~】

Lee Ji-eun sent him a photo of Bae Young-joon that she had taken from outside the conference room window.

[Look, what do you think of your editor-in-chief?]

[No, it's the company president now.]

Choi Sulli already knows about Han River Sports from Bae Young-joon, but she can't come.

So the photos that Lee Ji-eun sent made her very happy.

[Unnie! Thank you~ Unnie took such great photos.]

She thanked Lee Ji-eun with delight, but it took her a while to remember to ask her why she went to the newspaper.

"Hey, you're the president now, and you don't even know how to keep a close eye on your own man? Well, I guess I'll have to keep an eye on him for you." Lee Ji-eun lectured Choi Sulli.

【what? 】

Sulli was a little shy, but she couldn't help asking, "So, how are you? Are you alright?"

[Hmm... I did run into a woman who kept saying she was very close to President Pei; I just found her annoying.]

Lee Ji-eun replied quickly, complaining to Choi Sulli about Lim Na-yeon in front of her, and felt much better.

She looked up, her gaze sweeping over the little orange on Lim Nayeon's chest, and couldn't help but add a comment.

[And it's obviously been padded; it's definitely a flat board!]

[Hahaha, doesn't unnie (older sister) often wear pads too?]

Choi Sulli thought it was a lot of fun.

Lee Ji-eun was almost driven mad by Choi Sulli's indiscriminate behavior.

[Hey! Sulli, who's on your side? I'm not telling you next time something like this happens!]

[Unnie, unnie, I was wrong...]

The two sat facing each other on the sofa and talked for a long time, but neither of them said a word.

"Ji-eun is here too?" At the office door, Bae Young-joon had just seen off Lim Byung-hun and the representative of Kakao Entertainment when Cha Eun-kwang came over and told him that Lee Ji-eun had also arrived.

"Bring her here."

"Yes," Cha Eun-kwang replied, turning to walk towards the VIP lounge. After stretching his limbs, Bae Young-joon turned and walked back to his office, but before he could sit down, there was a knock on the door behind him.

"President? Are you done with your work?"

Bae Young-joon turned around and saw Lee Ji-eun leaning against the door, her left hand supporting her chin, her right hand's fair knuckles tapping on her office door, looking at him with a half-smile.

She was wearing a rather formal royal blue suit, her long, wavy hair tied in a ponytail with a black lace hair tie, and the skirt was slightly slit, revealing a pair of smooth, fair legs. She looked professional yet refreshing.

On her feet were a pair of white pointed high heels, the genuine leather gleaming, the heels thin and long, looking very formal, but the thin heels swaying by the door were incredibly alluring.

Bae Young-joon's gaze swept over them, but Lee Ji-eun seemed to notice his gaze.

"Pretty?" She glanced at Bae Young-joon, then stretched out her right foot, turning it left and right to meet his gaze. The slender heel trembled in mid-air, her captivating eyes seemingly tempting him to touch it.

"I bought this while shopping with Shirley the other day, isn't it nice?"

Goblin.

Is this how you play it?

Bae Yong-joon raised an eyebrow as he looked at Lee Ji-eun's slightly childlike and innocent features.

"It looks great. Wear it for me again next time." He calmly withdrew his gaze, nodded, walked to her side, closed the door, and adopted a businesslike demeanor, seemingly unmoved. "Come in."

What brings you here today?

Lee Ji-eun didn't tell him beforehand; she came with a representative from Kakao Entertainment and only came up later.

“President Pei,” Lee Ji-eun pouted and leaned against the sofa, “President Yu sent me.”

"Him? Is something wrong?"

“He went to Japan this morning and couldn’t come in person, so he asked me to convey his congratulations from his friends.” She stretched out her fair, delicate hand.

The two gently shook hands in mid-air.

"President Pei, congratulations on entering a new stage of your life. That's amazing. You're a big shot now." There seemed to be a hint of fervor in Lee Ji-eun's eyes.

"Not really, just evolved a little bit," Bae Young-joon squeezed her little hand. "Thank you too, thanks to your help."

“Of course, it’s about cooperation.” Lee Ji-eun’s smooth little hand slipped from his palm. “When I need your help, I won’t hesitate to ask.”

"I'll do my best." Bae Young-joon nodded with a smile. "But is this all it took to make you come all this way?"

Lee Ji-eun must have had another purpose in coming. Woo Kyung-ho probably wasn't that free, so he didn't specifically ask her to come over and say congratulations.

"Yes, that's right. Woo Kyung-ho specifically asked me to come and see if you're unhappy that he didn't come, or if you're being arrogant or haughty."

Lee Ji-eun crossed her arms and looked at him with a smile, "President Bae, I'm a detective, you know?"

detective?

Bae Yong-joon's gaze swept over her slender heels, then slid over the skirt that stretched taut over her buttocks and her rather well-proportioned breasts, before finally looking up at her smiling, big eyes.

Not like.

You look more like an undercover investigator to me.

He reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her close. "It can be very dangerous to pry into business secrets, Miss Detective."

"What secret?" Lee Ji-eun's rosy lips exuded a sweet fragrance. "Is it a secret like hiding your girlfriend in the company?"

Bae Young-joon blinked.

Lee Ji-eun broke free from his embrace, gracefully twirled around, her skirt swaying gently, and landed on Bae Young-joon's large desk on the other side.

“Bae Yong-joon, I’m warning you,” she said, pulling on Bae Yong-joon’s tie and wrapping it around her delicate fingers, slowly tightening it, her eyes narrowing slightly, “break up with her immediately.”

"Okay, I'll break up with her today." Bae Yong-joon leaned forward under her dangerous gaze, bracing his hands on the edge of the table, looking into her eyes, and said softly, "Then, Ji-eun, how about being my girlfriend?"

Their eyes met. Lee Ji-eun placed her hands behind her back, quietly watching him, and then a satisfied smile slowly appeared on her lips. "No."

"But I like it when you say it that way."

Bae Young-joon leaned down and kissed her lips, smiling easily.

Tsk, this wicked woman is really interesting.

I really wanted to pin her down on the table.
