The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 268 Ji-eun-chan Who Likes to Get Hit (Part 2)

A small black lace hair tie, with a thin cord, hangs from a delicate white fingertip, swaying gently.

"Is this a gift?" Bae Young-joon's eyes flickered slightly.

Lee Ji-eun's gift really surprised him.

This woman is truly different.

I really want to hold her in my hands.

"Otherwise what?" Lee Ji-eun deftly flicked her right hand, and black lace wrapped around her slender wrist, like an exquisite bracelet.

"It's pretty, isn't it? I spent a long time choosing it before buying it, and I was afraid someone would find out, so I secretly bought it online. It just arrived a couple of days ago." She raised her wrist and looked at it from side to side.

"Such a precious item, wouldn't it be nice to give it to you as a gift?"

Lee Ji-eun looked at Bae Young-joon, her face beautiful and charming, her big eyes sparkling, her expression pure, as if what was wrapped around her hand was just an ordinary gift.

“However,” she frowned, a look of regret on her face, “since your time with your girlfriend is so precious, let’s just forget about it.”

"I took the gift back with me."

“It would be a shame to take it back, such a wonderful gift,” Bae Young-joon slowly took two steps closer and held out his hand. “Can I at least take a look?”

Lee Ji-eun stretched out her other hand, blocking his way, and took two steps back in line with his steps. "Hey, didn't we agree to just look?"

"A real man doesn't go back on his word, does he?"

“If you had told me earlier that this was the gift, I wouldn’t have agreed.” Bae Young-joon ignored her resistance and took two more steps forward.

"Then you should have told me earlier that you had a girlfriend today, I wouldn't have given you a ride." Lee Ji-eun then stepped back, her soft buttocks resting against the hard edge of the desk.

Bae Young-joon glanced at her and noticed that the skirt that stretched across her hips was exceptionally smooth, indicating that the item inside must indeed be hanging in Lee Ji-eun's hand.

"What are you looking at?" Lee Ji-eun said reproachfully. "I feel like your gaze is a bit rude."

"Looking at you, you're so beautiful."

"You've become quite the smooth talker now?"

"When I see someone I like, I can't help but say some nice things," Bae Young-joon said.

Lee Ji-eun chuckled.

"Stay for lunch," Bae Young-joon said, leaning closer to her.

"There's still more than an hour left, isn't it too early?" Lee Ji-eun's eyes sparkled, her right hand, wrapped in lace, supported her chest, maintaining the last bit of distance.

“The timing is perfect.” Bae Young-joon lowered his head slightly and sniffed the thing wrapped around his hand.

The shampoo has a refreshing scent, along with a subtle, indescribable aroma, like the sea, like the tide, slightly salty, that evokes a myriad of thoughts upon first sniff.

He poked Lee Ji-eun's soft, bouncy thigh.

"Hmm?" Lee Ji-eun glanced at him, then looked up again.

"Your girlfriend might be listening outside. If she hears it, she'll definitely be very angry."

"You just want to make her angry, don't you?" Bae Young-joon chuckled. "Lee Ji-eun, you're so mean."

"Can anyone be worse than you?" Lee Ji-eun's delicate eyelashes fluttered. "One woman after another."

“You’ll always be there for me,” Bae Young-joon said.

"Thank you, but..." Lee Ji-eun gradually increased the pressure on his hand, pushing him back a step, "but I really have to go."

"Don't touch me, or I'll get angry."

She looked quite serious.

Lee Ji-eun flicked her right hand, hooking two fingers onto a thin rope to stretch out the small black gift. She then lifted her smooth right leg, and with a click, her long, thin heel landed on the coffee table beside her.

Then she bent down, slipped her panties into the thin heels of her shoes, the pointed tips, her slender ankles, and then slowly pulled them up along her fair thighs.

As if to give him a clearer view, Lee Ji-eun paused, the thin black rope tightening on her thigh, and her thigh trembled slightly beneath her slightly lifted skirt.

Then, it disappeared into the clothes with a soft "snap".

The gift simply vanished.

“I’ll take the gift.” Lee Ji-eun straightened up with a composed expression, smiled at Bae Young-joon, “President Bae, thank you for your gentlemanly manners, I…”

"Well!"

She gasped in surprise, suddenly feeling dizzy.

Bae Yong-joon slammed her onto the table, grabbed her slender waist, and slapped her bottom with his right hand. "You think you can just leave after seducing me like this?"

"Do you think I'm not a man?"

"So bold?"

"You bad man, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to force yourself on me?" Lee Ji-eun's cheek was pressed against the cool tabletop, her breath creating a misty haze on the surface, her big eyes watery.

"I wanted to, I wanted to the moment I saw you." Bae Yong-joon pinched her soft buttocks without any restraint.

Lee Ji-eun's breathing became erratic, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were fixed on Bae Young-joon. "You're really bold. Aren't you afraid I'll get angry?"

“So what if you’re angry?” Bae Young-joon grabbed her and pulled her up, revealing her white little bottom and the black gift that had just disappeared.

"Want me to see you get angry?"

He slapped her again, and Lee Ji-eun cried out in pain, "It hurts!"

"It's good that it hurts." Bae Yong-joon pulled her to the table and pressed her slender waist.

"You're so mean, you don't respect me at all." Lee Ji-eun cried out in pain, her face flushed red, her sweet voice becoming sticky and nauseating, each sound seeming to scratch at one's heart.

Bae Young-joon grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.

"Respect you?" His broad palms encircled her fair neck, as if he were holding his prey, his burning gaze fixed on her watery eyes.

"Lee Ji-eun, you are a woman now."

After saying that, the two hugged each other tightly.

"Do you like it?" Bae Young-joon felt like he was holding Lee Ji-eun in his hands for the first time. "Do you like it like this?"

“I like it,” Lee Ji-eun said, looking at Bae Young-joon’s handsome face, her eyes gentle and charming, her voice like a burning fire, hot and sticky, “I just like you like this.”

"Force me, I love you to death!"

Do you know how handsome you are as the president of the company?

"Giving orders with a blank expression, I absolutely love you."

"How are you so amazing? Just how much more capable do you have?"

Bae Young-joon's performance today gave Lee Ji-eun more and more hope, and her suppressed emotions suddenly burst forth, feeling like they were doubling in intensity.

For the first time, she realized that she liked this kind of man.

Cold and hard, wild, capable of saving oneself, yet also capable of destroying oneself, able to manipulate oneself at will, treating oneself as prey.

"Lee Ji-eun, are you crazy? Do you like this?" Bae Yong-joon looked at the red finger marks on her fair skin and imagined Lee Ji-eun on stage, the center of attention, like an unapproachable goddess in the distant heavens, but now she was lying obediently on the table.

He couldn't help but slap her hard again, eliciting a soft cry of pain as her fair skin trembled.

That's awesome!

"Ah!" Lee Ji-eun's watery eyes were almost brimming with tears. "I'm crazy, and you're crazy too!"

"If you can't defeat Yu Qinggao, then you'll die with me!"

"Nonsense, what do you mean by 'die'! I won't die! Neither will you! I saved you, what do you mean by 'die'?" Pei Yongjun couldn't help but slap her again.

"Then please save me, please save me..." Lee Ji-eun's eyes were hazy yet burning with desire.

Her slender fingers gripped Bae Young-joon's arm tightly. "Don't...don't leave me, don't..."

"Lee Ji-eun, you'll never escape my grasp."

"Forever." "Starting tomorrow, throw away all the flowers he gave you."

"Okay, okay, I'll take whatever you give me. I like you, I like you so much..." Lee Ji-eun's voice trembled with tears, her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, as if she were both crying and laughing.

Looking at Lee Ji-eun, who was rambling incoherently, Bae Young-joon realized that he also had some feelings for her.

That bad woman, she's really crazy.

he likes.

------

"Um...take it away."

Bae Young-joon was patted on the shoulder. He took a step back, away from Lee Ji-eun's head that was leaning against the table, and looked down at her glistening lips, breathing slightly heavily.

"I'll go open the window." He glanced at it, turned around and walked to the window, opening it a crack. A slightly chilly breeze blew in, and Lee Ji-eun's voice came from behind him.

"Cough cough, cough, give me a hug."

Bae Young-joon turned around and looked.

Lee Ji-eun was lying on her side on the large desk without any regard for her image, her cheeks flushed and a few strands of wet hair hanging on her bangs.

The elegant skirt suit was crumpled and bunched up at her slender waist, her fair skin was covered with red finger marks, her smooth calves dangled limply over the table, and her thin, shiny heels swayed precariously in mid-air.

Her clothes were disheveled, yet they were all the more alluring.

His anger, which had just subsided, was starting to stir again.

"Hey, hurry up, lift me up and let me sit down."

Lee Ji-eun flicked the tips of her shoes, as if waving to Bae Young-joon.

“You’re here.” Bae Young-joon walked over, bent down, picked her up, walked around the desk, and placed her on his office chair.

Lee Ji-eun frowned, shifted her position to find a less painful one, and sat down, only to see Bae Young-joon acting up again in front of her.

"Hey," Lee Ji-eun nudged him a couple of times, and seeing that he was about to recover, she quickly pushed his thigh, and the office chair lurched back several steps before she felt a little safer. "You do it yourself, I can't take it anymore."

Lee Ji-eun gradually calmed down from her near-death experience, her smooth abdomen still spasming intermittently, and she was still somewhat dazed.

"That really hurts." She touched her still-burning buttocks and glared at Bae Young-joon.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself," Bae Young-joon said innocently.

"Who enjoyed it? I was just going along with you." Lee Ji-eun denied it outright, as if someone else had called his name at that moment.

"You actually took it seriously."

Seeing Lee Ji-eun muttering and stubbornly insisting, Bae Young-joon couldn't help but laugh as he put on his clothes.

His anger had subsided, and he was in a good mood, letting her say whatever she wanted.

Anyway, I'll fight back next time, so it's not a loss.

His gaze swept over her somewhat pitiful little bottom.

Lee Ji-eun seemed to have noticed and quickly covered her buttocks.

"What are you looking at?"

"Why don't you ask someone else every time? You always drive me crazy."

"Find someone else?" Bae Young-joon blinked, thinking that Lee Ji-eun was truly a kind and understanding woman.

You've really misunderstood her, calling her a bad woman or something.

Lee Ji-eun hummed in agreement. "What, is your little girlfriend still waiting for you outside?"

"We're breaking up in eight hours," Bae Young-joon said.

"Tch, don't think you'll stop contacting her just because you broke up with her. I'm not stupid. I can tell she's absolutely devoted to you."

Thinking about this, Lee Ji-eun was still angry and couldn't help but kick Bae Young-joon's thigh.

"Give me your bag, I need to touch up my makeup."

Looking at her small face reflected in the mirror, Bae Young-joon asked her, "What did Woo Kyung-ho do in Japan?"

"Why are you asking me? I'm a loyal servant of Kakao Entertainment." Lee Ji-eun glanced at him.

“Isn’t this all for the sake of defeating him as soon as possible and giving you your freedom, my little detective? Tell me,” Bae Young-joon said.

Woo Kyung-ho not only now heads the behemoth Kakao Entertainment, but is also the illegitimate son of former President Park, carrying the blood of the sun, and his power, both overt and covert, is extraordinary.

However, Bae Yong-joon has one advantage: he is still in the shadows, and Lee Ji-eun is right next to Woo Kyung-ho, enough to reveal crucial information and allow him to get ahead of others.

Na-yeon's star-making plan has been very successful. Next time, it will not be a small-scale operation, but a large enough event to create a media frenzy that will truly sweep across the peninsula and allow her to truly gain a foothold in the news industry.

In this way, there will naturally be opportunities to go further.

KBS director?
He was really looking forward to it.

With the information gap and the fragmented truth at crucial moments, he had enough confidence.

What's more, he also has a capable assistant.

However, that little girl's fists are quite hard.

"I heard it's about discussing a big project and finding partners." Lee Ji-eun carefully touched up her makeup, wiping away the sweat with a cotton pad.

"Do you know the specifics?" Bae Yong-joon leaned back in his chair, his right hand unconsciously stroking her soft hair. Strands of hair slid through his palm, giving her a feeling of comfort.

“I heard that he went to see Akimoto Yasushi.” Lee Ji-eun paused and said a strange name.

"Akimoto Yasushi? AKB?" Bae Young-joon was somewhat surprised.

The mastermind behind the once wildly popular AKB series in Japan was none other than Yasushi Akimoto.

But how did Woo Kyung-ho get involved with him?
"Yes, I wonder what he's up to. Is he planning to expand into the Japanese market?" Lee Ji-eun guessed.

Bae Young-joon nodded slightly, unsure whether to agree or not, pondering the matter in his mind.

Yasushi Akimoto, Japan, AKB, South Korea, Kakao.

His mind flashed back to Woo Kyung-ho's mysterious yet confident words.

【Yongjun, I have a grand plan to make Kakao Entertainment rise to the top and sweep across the peninsula】

Rise to prominence in one step, sweeping across the peninsula...

To achieve this goal, the best way would be to create a phenomenal top-tier group, which would naturally make the management company behind it famous overnight.

However, Kakao Entertainment doesn't even have many trainees, so if they want to launch artists...

Bae Young-joon remembered something.

Draft.

The hugely popular Produce 101 from two years ago?

Add AKB48?

A super star-making movement sweeping the peninsula?

good idea.

It suits him perfectly.

However, the rights to host this series are not in the hands of Kakao Entertainment, but in the hands of CJ Group. It seems that Woo Kyung-ho is really going to have to spend a lot of money. No wonder he was so worried about the 300 billion won acquisition payment to the newspaper that he couldn't sleep.

He has uncovered Woo Kyung-ho's secret, but he needs to verify it further.

If it's true, then it would be a huge cake, enough for him to take a big bite.

Of course, this was all because he was afraid his good brother Yu Qinghao would overeat.

Bae Young-joon is always so helpful.
