The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 273 It's so great to be manipulated into a puppy!

"Sister-in-law?" Lin Nayeon, who was already a little flustered, was almost startled by the pomelo girl who suddenly barged in and called her "sister-in-law."

"Mmm, sister-in-law~ hehe." Liu Zhimin repeated, blinking her big eyes.

"What did you say? Are you calling me?" Lin Nayeon asked, her mouth slightly open, revealing her cute little bunny teeth.

"Of course, Nayeon, um, can I call you Nayeon unnie?" Yoo Jimin approached with a grin, like a big bad wolf with ill intentions.

She leaned closer to her, and seeing Nayeon's slightly panicked expression, stuck out her tongue as if she had successfully pulled off a prank. "Sorry, I wanted to give you a surprise. Did I scare you?"

"I... well, my sister-in-law is..." Lin Nayeon looked at Liu Zhimin, who seemed to know her very well, her mind filled with questions.

“I’m Jimin.” Yoo Jimin’s eyes widened in surprise, as if Lim Nayeon didn’t know that she was someone important. “Oppa, Youngjoon oppa, I’m his sister.”

"Huh? Sister? Me, me, Zhimin?" The bewildered little rabbit finally understood a little. "You're President Pei's sister?"

younger sister?

Does Bae Young-joon have a younger sister?
Lim Na-yeon, who was only his girlfriend for 24 hours, said she was confused.

"Didn't Oppa tell you about me?" Yoo Jimin frowned and asked back.

"No, no, no, I, um, I think, I think I heard him say that," the little rabbit stammered, feeling as if she had done something wrong.

Yeah yeah!

If you have a younger sister, you have to tell me! Ugh!
Where were they when it mattered most?
Feeling a little embarrassed, Lim Nayeon really wanted to bite Bae Young-joon.

"Sigh, Oppa, really." Yoo Jimin seemed to realize that Lim Nayeon didn't recognize her, and pouted in disappointment.

"Sorry, I probably forgot, hehe." Lim Nayeon was inwardly ruthless, but outwardly she was timid.

"It's not your fault. Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Zhimin. I'm Yongjun oppa's cousin. Yongjun oppa has to call my dad uncle."

Liu Zhimin stretched out her hand and, without any hesitation, borrowed Kim Minjung's father's hand again, saying, "Oppa, my dad used to take care of him a lot when he was little."

“Look.” Liu Zhimin naturally took out her phone and pulled out the photos they had taken on New Year’s Eve when they were looking through Bae Yong-joon’s childhood album at Kim Yong-min’s house.

In the photo, Bae Yong-joon, still a junior high school student, has youthful features. Standing next to him is a slightly balding middle-aged soldier, who is holding a little girl who is still wearing open-crotch pants.

“This is my dad, this is Young-joon oppa, and this is me,” Yoo Jimin pointed to each of them one by one. “But I didn’t remember anything back then. This was found again when we had dinner together on New Year’s Day this year.”

"I see..." Lim Nayeon looked at Bae Young-joon in the photo, then at Yoo Jimin who looked completely natural in front of her, and she was already mostly convinced.

He looks like a little kid, could he be a bad person?

Bae Yong-joon isn't a celebrity, so the person who could produce such a photo is most likely his cousin.

Oh right, there's also kimchi in Bae Yong-joon's fridge that his aunt gave him! Is that Ji-min's mom?
The quick-witted Lim Nayeon realized she had figured it out.

"Hehehe, we're acquainted now, right?" Seeing that Lin Nayeon's expression softened and she relaxed, Liu Zhimin seized the opportunity and took her arm.

"Ji-min, so you're President Bae's sister. But maybe we shouldn't call you 'sister-in-law' anymore?" Lim Na-yeon's cheeks flushed slightly at the thought of how she addressed Yoo Ji-min.

Did Bae Young-joon tell his family about their relationship?
Oh dear, how could I do this? It's so...so embarrassing...

Lim Nayeon was surprised that Bae Young-joon would tell his family about this. She was both annoyed and secretly happy.

Looking at her awkward smile, Liu Zhimin rolled her eyes inwardly.

What are you pretending to be innocent for? Your face is blushing like a teapot!
cut!
"Oh, Oppa already told me you two are dating, shouldn't he call me sister-in-law?" she thought to herself, but sweetly called me sister-in-law all the time. "He even sent me a picture of you, sister-in-law."

"Wow, she looks even better in person than on TV! So beautiful!"

"Well, it's alright, hehe, Jimin, you're very pretty too." Having just become an ex-girlfriend, Lim Nayeon felt lightheaded hearing "sister-in-law" repeatedly. The smile on her lips unconsciously grew wider and wider, but she swallowed back the words "we've already broken up."

Zhimin didn't even ask about breaking up, so how could she bring it up?

Besides, isn't an ex-girlfriend also considered a sister-in-law?
Is it okay if I bark a couple of times?

Are you alright? Are you alright?

Lim Na-yeon convinced herself.

The two of them came out of the restroom and sat down in a corner, talking as they went.

"Ji-min, are you still in high school?" Lim Na-yeon felt she should act like a sister-in-law and asked about Yoo Ji-min's situation.

“I’ve already graduated and I’m currently a trainee at SM Entertainment,” Yoo Jimin replied.

"Trainee? Wow, that's amazing! You can come to me if you need anything~" Feeling like a senior, Lim Nayeon offered generous encouragement, "Good luck with your debut soon~"

"I wish I could debut successfully like you, sister-in-law, someday!" Liu Zhimin said sweetly.

"Jimin, you'll definitely succeed. You're so beautiful, hehe." Lim Nayeon found it more and more pleasing to the ear, and happily took Liu Jimin's arm, grinning and chuckling.

"Um, Zhimin, could you please not tell anyone about this?" After laughing for a while, she suddenly remembered to keep it a secret.

"Of course, I understand. I'm a trainee, and the company has told us all that, so don't worry, sister-in-law." Liu Zhimin patted her chest, causing a wave of waves to rise.

Wow……

Lim Nayeon couldn't help but glance at the trembling pomelo a few more times, and then felt dizzy.

Why is Bae Young-joon's house so big?

His sister is so big, and he...

Suddenly, the image of a giant carrot popped into the little rabbit's mind, making her blush again.

Liu Zhimin looked at Lin Nayeon, who was blushing again and seemed lost in thought, and was speechless.

Where did Bae Yong-joon find such a perfect woman? She looks rather silly.

Honestly, they're not challenging at all.

She subtly pursed her lips, then frowned and deliberately sighed, "Sigh."

"Jimin, what's wrong?" Lost in thought, Lim Nayeon looked at the preoccupied Yoo Jimin with a blank expression. "Is something the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just felt that you've worked really hard, sister-in-law." Liu Zhimin sighed again, her eyes filled with sympathy as she looked at Lin Nayeon.

"Huh? It's been tough?" Lim Nayeon felt her brain, which had just started to clear up a little, become confused again.

What's so hard about it?
"You...you still don't know? How long have you been with Oppa?" Yoo Jimin looked at the bewildered Lim Nayeon. "Don't you really know him?"

"We, we'll, let's just get together recently," Lim Nayeon said shyly, adding that they had only gotten together yesterday.

"I see. It's understandable that I didn't know." Liu Zhimin nodded, muttering to herself, seemingly lost in thought.

"Jimin, is something wrong with Yongjun?" Lim Nayeon's curiosity was piqued.

"Actually, actually my brother, well, I really don't know if I should tell you." Liu Zhimin stammered, almost driving Lin Nayan crazy with anxiety.

"Speak up, Zhimin, what's wrong? Tell me and I'll help you," she urged.

“Well, sister-in-law, it might not be appropriate for me to say this, but…” Seeing that Lin Nayeon had taken the bait, Liu Zhimin finally said with a troubled expression, “My brother has a… special hobby, he’s a bit perverted.”

“You know, you know that?” She touched her thumbs together, making a kissing gesture. “Ah…” Lim Nayeon’s mind flashed through all the things Bae Young-joon had done to her, and she nodded in deep agreement.

That's right, he's a pervert!

The two of them wanted to be photographed on their first date, and now they want others to treat them like little pets.

You always bully me, I hate it~
Lin Nalian pouted.

"Although it's my brother's private life, and I shouldn't be talking about it, sister-in-law, I'll tell you anyway, otherwise you'll have a hard time in the future."

Liu Zhimin acted earnestly, tapped her phone twice, opened a shopping app, and held it out to Lin Nayeon.

On the screen, there was clearly a pet's nest.

Lim Nayeon's eyes widened suddenly.

Ah? ? ?
Bae Young-joon wouldn't have told his sister even this, would he?

This is so embarrassing! So embarrassing!

"Zhimin, let me explain, I..." She felt the collar around her neck was burning hot, and she really wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

"Listen to me first!" Liu Zhimin looked at Lim Nayeon, who was blushing again for some reason, and was speechless. She interrupted her, "Do you know about Oppa's ex-girlfriend?"

"Huh? Ex-girlfriend? I don't know." Lim Nayeon, who almost turned herself in, was stunned for a moment.

"Oppa's ex-girlfriend, she's really domineering, has a really... scary personality, she's a really bad person, so she forced my oppa to kneel here..."

Liu Zhimin looked embarrassed and finally sighed, then tapped the picture of a pet's home on the screen.

"Sigh, Oppa did it anyway."

what?
Bae Young-joon?
Lim Na-yeon opened her eyes wide.

“There are so many more, look.” Liu Zhimin opened her shopping app’s purchase history and showed off all sorts of small toys she had bought for Jin Minzheng.

A collar, a chain, a little whip, fluffy little ears, and a wagging little tail.

Everything is available.

They're all things Minjun likes, so it's pretty much the same if Bae Youngjoon likes them too. Hmm, that makes perfect sense!

"He's too embarrassed to admit it. Sister-in-law, you can just do it. He'll like it."

Looking at the dumbfounded Lim Nayeon, Yoo Ji-min smirked smugly.

These past two days, there have been posts all over the internet about Bae Young-joon and Lim Na-yeon being a couple. Although there's no concrete evidence, she just felt that Lim Na-yeon's gaze towards Bae Young-joon on stage that day was off.

So, she learned through Liu Xunjie's intelligence network that Pei Yongjun was coming to the banquet, but instead she saw the two of them looking very much in love at the door.

Now, Yoo Jimin's suspicions were confirmed, and she was furious. In the end, she came up with this idea to make Lim Nayeon misunderstand that Bae Young-joon had a perverted hobby, so she could give Bae Young-joon a good beating to vent her anger.

Bae Young-joon, you used to play around with other women, now I'm going to tell her the ways you like to play, and make her play with you.

Let's play!

I'll kill you!
Liu Zhimin almost burst out laughing when she imagined Bae Yong-joon wearing dog ears and crawling around on his knees.

dog man!
Live it!

Should we sneak over to his house and take some photos?
Threaten him for life!

Liu Zhimin was lost in thought, feeling that victory was already in her grasp.

"W-this, but isn't this your account?" Lim Nayeon seemed to come to her senses and pointed at the screen, asking a question.

"Yeah, my brother was too embarrassed to buy things using my account. I always knew, but I was too embarrassed to tell him. He must have felt really ashamed."

Liu Zhimin looked worried, but seeing Lin Nayeon completely trusting her, she was secretly overjoyed.

"Oh, I see. So who is Yongjun's ex-girlfriend?" Lim Nayeon asked again.

"Um, well," Liu Zhimin paused for a moment, then made up a story, "I can't tell you his name, but he's a senior in the industry, a really, really powerful one! You definitely can't afford to offend him, so don't ask around... Hmm?"

Beside her, Lim Nayeon suddenly clapped her hands, her face full of sudden realization, "I get it! So that's how it is! It's IU!"

"Huh? IU?"

What do you unserstand?

What IU?

This time, it was Liu Zhimin's turn to be confused.

"It's her! I know!" Lim Nayeon looked at Yoo Jimin, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, her cheeks puffed out in anger. "She's so mean! She's that wicked woman!"

My ex-girlfriend is Lee Ji-eun!

She forced Bae Yong-joon to do it!
A senior figure in the industry, someone I can't afford to offend, a very bad person, and connected to Bae Young-joon—that's Lee Ji-eun!

Ah, that time backstage, it was Lee Ji-eun who insisted on putting her hand in Bae Young-joon's hand!
That's it!

Lim Na-yeon felt a sudden sense of clarity.

She looked down at the various training tools on the screen, her eyes filled with sympathy.

She had thought these things were for her own use, but it turned out they were for Bae Young-joon.

Was Young-joon oppa being manipulated by a bad woman?

poor thing.

so now……

Lim Nayeon raised her hand and touched the collar on her fair neck. Remembering Bae Young-joon's excessive demands on her, she seemed to understand something.

Was he forced into becoming a pet by that awful IU, so now he wants to be her pet?

So, it turns out that Bae Young-joon wasn't bullying him, but venting, healing his wounds, and healing his heart that had been hurt by a bad woman?
Good heavens, how come I only found out now?
I really misunderstood Bae Young-joon.

The little rabbit, overwhelmed with maternal instinct, felt a deep sense of sympathy.

"No need to say anything," Lim Nayeon pushed aside the bewildered Yoo Jimin and stood up abruptly. "Jimin, don't worry, I'll definitely help Oppa!"

"This is what I should do!"

"I'll definitely be a good little bunny to him!"

"And, small, little pets and stuff! I, I actually quite like them too!"

Lim Na-yeon shouted, her face flushed, with a look of devout devotion.

Looking at the collar around her neck, Liu Zhimin felt like she was about to be defeated by this despicable couple.

Dog men and women!
Give me back my pure love!
