The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 269 I Can Be a Little Dog Too!
Bae Young-joon, with the petite Lee Ji-eun in his arms, blinked as he looked at the leather choker on the shopping website on the computer screen in front of him.

"Oh, I never would have guessed," she said with a strange smile, poking his chin. "So you like this?"

"You've got some fun, President Pei."

After they finished packing, Lee Ji-eun snuggled up to him and chatted for a while. Just as she was about to leave, she accidentally touched the mouse and discovered something unexpected on Bae Young-joon's computer.

"Just taking a look, doing some research, just a reporter." Bae Young-joon said without changing his expression, reaching for the mouse.

"Wait a minute." Lee Ji-eun became interested, grabbed the mouse, and quickly clicked on the order information. The newest item at the top was a purchase record for a high-end pet house.

"What's this?" Lee Ji-eun seemed to have discovered something new, wiggling the mouse and turning to look at Bae Young-joon. "What are you going to do? It can't really be what I'm thinking, can it?"

"That's a bit perverted~"

"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?" Bae Yong-joon stretched out his right hand and waved it, pretending to spank her bottom again. Startled, Lee Ji-eun quickly jumped off his lap and jumped to the side, not forgetting to snatch the mouse and hug it to her chest.

"Hey, don't hit me!"

"You bad woman, don't judge others by your own standards. Is it okay to get a pet?" Bae Yong-joon decided it would be best to delete the purchase history as soon as possible.

"Really? [I had a lot of fun with my girlfriend, and it feels great to use.]" Lee Ji-eun read the product's user reviews seriously, chuckling to herself. "Oh, are you going to get a pet?"

"I'll still support you..." She smiled, as if she had discovered a big secret about Bae Young-joon, "Your little girlfriend?"

Bae Young-joon felt that Lee Ji-eun knew too much.

Indeed, women who are too smart are not lovable at all.

Nayeon is better; she forgets about being a pet after being scratched a couple of times.

"Oh? She treats you like her girlfriend 24/7, and this is how you treat her?"

Lee Ji-eun strolled around, leaned back in her chair, and poked Bae Young-joon's cheek while looking at the comments on the pet house on the screen. "You bad man, I have to tell Sulli to see you less often in the future, or you'll bully me to death."

"You like playing this kind of thing, you're a pervert!"

She said fiercely, her voice both cute and stern.

Bae Yong-joon pinched her fidgeting little hand, pulled her into his arms, and looked into her smiling eyes, "So, do you like it? Do you want to play with me?"

“Who will wear it? If you wear it, that’s fine,” Lee Ji-eun nodded, reaching out to gently grab his neck, as if imagining herself walking a big dog. “Then I’ll play with you every day, and I can invite Sulli to come along too.”

"Then you can wear it." Bae Yong-joon grabbed her hand and placed it on her fair neck.

"Forget it, I'm not interested." Lee Ji-eun pouted and jumped off his arms. "Go play with that silly rabbit, I'm leaving."

Bae Young-joon raised an eyebrow. "Don't you want to consider it? As an incentive for me, maybe I can take over KBS soon, rescue you from Woo Kyung-ho, and give you your freedom."

"Well, let's talk about it when you actually become a director of KBS." Lee Ji-eun stood in front of him, winking at him. "Then, it'll be in your office..."

She lowered her voice, wiggled her little bottom like a well-behaved puppy, and said, "I'll let you be it, okay?"

"Really?" Bae Young-joon's heart skipped a beat.

The image of Lee Ji-eun's petite figure floated into his mind, curled up beside the exaggerated desk, her pink little tongue gently licking the palm of his hand that was feeding her, both moist and itchy.

"Are you tempted?" Lee Ji-eun stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his neck, her breath sweet as she pleaded softly, "My dear CEO, do your best, I'm counting on you."

"You're really something, making me work like a slave with just a few words." Bae Young-joon chuckled.

"You can be my slave, and I can be your..." She glanced at the pet's home on the screen, "...a little pet. Nobody owes anyone anything, right?"

"We'll have to see what you get in return then. You won't go back on your word, will you?" Bae Young-joon crossed his legs. "I've got it all in mind. If you back out, I won't let you off the hook."

"Please don't let me go, Director Pei, I beg you." Lee Ji-eun clasped her hands together.

“I don’t want to let you go right now,” Bae Young-joon said.

"I really have to go," Lee Ji-eun leaned down and kissed his cheek, coaxing him sweetly, "Please let me go today, my President Bae, your little girlfriend is waiting for you."

She stood up quickly, ran around the desk as if fleeing, grabbed her handbag, and ran out.

"Goodbye~" Her high heels clicked on the floor as she ran to the door.

"Wait, you haven't wiped your mouth clean yet, is that drool?" Pei Yongjun looked at the corner of her lips, where there was still a shiny trace of her saliva, he didn't know if it was her saliva or his stuff.

"Hmm..." Lee Ji-eun took out a small mirror and looked at herself, then licked her lips with her pink tongue. "That's fine."

"It's your scent, I really like it today."

She blew a kiss to Bae Young-joon, opened the door, and her beautiful figure disappeared.

Bae Young-joon blinked.

Next time, he really won't let her off the hook.

He got up and tidied the table a bit, cleared the shopping website records, then sat down again, took out his phone, and opened his chat history with Liu Zhimin.

[Intelligent?]

A few minutes later, Liu Zhimin replied to the message.

What are you doing? Practicing, I'm exhausted.

Then there's the expression of two fists.

This is the emoji that Liu Zhimin likes to send him the most.

[Do you have time to check someone's information for me, to see what they've been up to lately?]

[Woo Kyung-ho, the new president of Kakao Entertainment]

Bae Young-joon asked, "The information Lee Ji-eun gave me allowed me to glimpse Woo Kyung-ho's astonishing and secretive grand plan, but in order to quickly begin laying the groundwork and take a bite of this big pie, we need more certain intelligence."

Liu Xunjie's intelligence network is a good idea.

[Give money]

Liu Zhimin was absolutely resolute.

【Hey, Jimin, do we really need to talk about money in our relationship?】

Bae Young-joon had a smile on his lips.

No money, no discussion; I'm too busy.

Liu Zhimin was not polite at all.

Well?
We agreed that we were halfway through the walkthrough!
Why are you suddenly so fierce?

Why are you angry? Did someone upset you?

She replied half a minute later.

What is your relationship with Lim Na-yeon?

It turned out to be the case.

Amidst the overwhelming news coverage of Lim Na-yeon, many people have speculated that the handsome man and beautiful woman, who are also involved in a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario, have an ambiguous relationship.

Is this why Liu Zhimin is involved?

Are you jealous?

Bae Young-joon asked.

One minute later. [Go to hell!]

【goodbye! 】

Liu Zhimin sent him a series of slamming fist emojis and didn't reply to his message again.

"Tsk, this little girl has quite a temper." Pei Yongjun clicked his tongue and prepared to get up to go find his little rabbit.

However, after two hours of messing around in the office with Lee Ji-eun, where did the little rabbit go?

Am I being too confident in myself?
I was moved, truly moved.

Until he heard unexpected news from Che Enguang.

"Nayeon went to a spa? She's not answering her phone now? Did JYP contact the newspapers? She ordered a bunch of takeout and ran away without picking it up?"

"Yes, Nayeon-ssi originally said that everyone had worked hard and that she would treat everyone at the newspaper to something good to eat."

"I didn't expect her to order so much, and it seems like she forgot to pay the bill."

"Put it on my tab first."

Bae Young-joon handed the card to Cha Eun-kwang, looked at the huge stack of high-end Japanese takeout orders piled up at the front desk, and let out a deep breath, thinking that none of these women were easy to deal with.

Consort Eun is still the best.

Seriously, I love cute little maids the most.

"Distribute the stuff among everyone."

"Wait, save me four boxes."

"I'll see how much she can eat, I'll make sure she's full."

Cheers of "Long live the president!" echoed from the office. Bae Young-joon tossed a stack of takeout boxes into his car and sped off, ready to catch his restless little rabbit.

If we can't finish this, we'll have rabbit for dinner.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Lim Nayeon lay on the spa bed, feeling the gentle massage, and drifted off to sleep, feeling truly happy.

After driving away the annoying Lee Ji-eun, she felt like she had won a great victory and secretly showed off in the Twice chat group for a long time.

However, after a while, Lim Nayeon realized that she had only been a girlfriend for a day, but in her impulsiveness, she had offended a senior. She didn't know what Lee Ji-eun would do to her if they met again.

After all, Lee Ji-eun has such a flat chest, she doesn't look like a magnanimous person.

hateful!

Headache!

Lim Nayeon was jumping around in the VIP lounge. She originally wanted to wait for Bae Young-joon to come so she could ask him what to do, but he didn't come. So she just gave up.

With only a few hours left before his girlfriend's time was up, how could he waste time agonizing over this?

Whatever happens, happens!
do not care!
Next time, next time!

Escaping responsibility brings a sense of ease.

Lim Nayeon suddenly felt refreshed and started making requests about this and that. She looked around the newspaper office, browsed around, and even took a stroll through Bae Young-joon's old office.

She was thrilled to be exploring the paparazzi's hideout.

Cha Eun-kwang vaguely knew about her relationship with Bae Young-joon, and many people in the newspaper also had their own guesses about her identity. So even though her request was a bit unusual, no one took it seriously. Instead, they provided very attentive service, making Lim Na-yeon extremely comfortable.

Overjoyed, she adopted the airs of her boyfriend's girlfriend, who only had a few hours left to date, and ordered a whole bunch of high-end takeout to reward her hardworking subordinates.

As for settling the bill?

No, that's not true. He's clearly his subordinate, so why should I pay the bill?
Live it!

You dare to hold someone else's hand? You'll be punished!
After the initial excitement, Lim Nayeon realized that now even more people knew about her relationship with Bae Young-joon.

How to do?
Lim Nayeon felt uneasy, but Bae Young-joon was still hiding in his office, not knowing what kind of meeting he was having. A thought suddenly occurred to Lim Nayeon.

Do you want……

Run first?

What little pet? Anyone who wants to be one can be one!
Since we've already offended Lee Ji-eun, it won't matter if we offend Bae Young-joon as well.

Feeling that she had made a bigger and bigger mess, Lim Na-yeon decided to run away.

When she was on the run, Lim Na-yeon was very quick to act. She immediately had Cha Eun-kwang take her to her favorite beauty salon to hide, where she began to enjoy a relaxing spa treatment.

That darn Bae Young-joon! Yesterday he pinned me against the bathroom wall and spread my legs so wide, it hurt like hell!

Bad men are not gentle at all!
The more she massaged, the more comfortable it felt. Lin Nayeon breathed a sigh of relief, turned off her phone and tossed it aside, leisurely kicking her little feet and enjoying the relaxing massage.

Take a vacation, take a vacation. If you need anything, just ask my boyfriend.

Having shared a bed with her, fought off the mistress, and even put on airs as the president's wife for a while, Lim Na-yeon had her fill of being a girlfriend and had also gotten a little revenge on the bad man. She was completely satisfied and felt wonderful on the comfortable spa bed.

I hope Bae Young-joon is busy until the very end of the day and doesn't have time for me.

Like a coward, Lim Nayeon prayed that Bae Young-joon would be too busy to pay attention to her today, while hiding in the beauty salon and enjoying her rare vacation.

Oh, happiness!
Beside the door behind him, Bae Young-joon looked through the window at Lim Na-yeon, whose little feet were kicking.

"The customer looks quite happy." The still-charming beauty salon manager next door covered her mouth and laughed, then extended her hand to Bae Young-joon, "President Bae, it's a pleasure to meet you. You are a very handsome man. Please do our business for us in the future."

Bae Young-joon nodded. "Of course, I'll introduce more of my friends to come."

Lim Na-yeon is a regular at this beauty salon, so in theory, her whereabouts shouldn't be revealed, and hiding here should be safe. However, given that the president of Hanjiang Sports Club has intricate connections with the entertainment industry, the director naturally makes things easy for her.

Besides, the experienced director could tell at a glance that Lim Nayeon looked like she had run away from a man after an argument, so naturally he wouldn't say anything.

"Can I come in?"

"Hmm," the dean glanced at the delicate watch on his wrist, "it'll be over in two minutes, then..."

She smiled and said, "In short, we don't interfere in our guests' private matters."

"Thank you very much." Bae Young-joon shook hands with the president.

The beauty salon director giggled and leaned closer to whisper, "President-nim, the soundproofing here isn't very good."

"You, haha, please be careful. I'll have someone keep their distance."

"It's so good to be young. Come over and get some pampering when you have time. I'll personally serve you."

The beauty salon director gave his large, calloused hand a subtle squeeze. "Men should also take care of themselves."

"In that respect," she winked suggestively, "yes."

She'd seen plenty of club presidents, but someone so young, handsome, and with such a great physique was truly a rare find.

My auntie is a little hungry.

Bae Young-joon glanced at the dean holding his hand tightly, seemingly reluctant to let go, and wondered who was actually serving whom.

Is this the president's dilemma?
He smiled, shook the dean's hand, and said sincerely, "Okay, I'll definitely do it next time."
