Peninsula: I, a chaebol! I will never follow hidden rules.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yuanying, having finished her examination, arrived at the hospital parking lot with her driver and waited for Li Zhixuan in the car.

After waiting for about half an hour, the driver's phone rang.

"Yes, President, I'll be right there."

After putting down his phone, the driver drove towards the inpatient department.

"President?" Zhang Yuanying, sitting in the back row, frowned slightly and muttered to herself, revealing a puzzled expression.

Although she spoke very softly, the driver heard her clearly because the car was quiet enough.

So she didn't know who the president was? Did I just let it slip? Oh no, I'll have to apologize to the president later.

Soon, the driver drove the car to the bottom of the steps of the inpatient building. Then he got out of the car and ran towards Li Zhixuan, who was standing on the steps.

Zhang Yuanying didn't get out of the car. Through the car window, she saw Li Zhixuan standing on the steps with a very gloomy and unpleasant expression.

Is it because a family member is seriously ill or has passed away?

Just as Zhang Yuanying was filled with doubt, the driver ran up to Li Zhixuan, bowed deeply to him, and then whispered something to him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuanying saw that Li Zhixuan's face had turned even worse. He said something and then suddenly raised his hand and slapped the driver hard across the face!
"Snapped!"

The driver swayed from the blow, and Zhang Yuanying inside the car was also startled.

There were many patients, family members, and medical staff passing by, and they all subconsciously stopped and looked at Li Zhixuan and the driver.

Li Zhixuan's expression remained grim as he strode down the steps. Seeing this, the driver, clutching his slapped cheek, quickly followed, then ran a few steps to the car door and opened it for Li Zhixuan.

Li Zhixuan got into the car and sat down. The driver closed the door and then ran back to the driver's seat.

Zhang Yuanying quickly moved closer to Li Zhixuan, took his arm, and asked cautiously, "Oppa, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Facing the audience, Li Zhixuan's expression softened slightly, and he shook his head, saying, "I'm fine. Where are you going? I'll take you there first."

"Wherever Oppa goes, I'll go." Zhang Yuanying hugged Li Zhixuan's arm even tighter, her attitude was very firm, and her eyes were full of worry when she looked at Li Zhixuan.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan forced a smile and asked, "How were the test results?"

Hearing Li Zhixuan's concern for her, Zhang Yuanying was delighted and replied, "The doctor said there's basically no problem."

"Do you want to go back to the company for further training?"

"No, I'll go wherever Oppa goes."

As she spoke, Zhang Yuanying rested her head on Li Zhixuan's shoulder, looking like she was determined to cling to him.

"Haha~" Li Zhixuan was amused, then raised his other hand and gently tapped Zhang Yuanying's head, asking, "Aren't you going to participate?"

“Participating in the competition is important, but you are more important to me, Oppa. If I have to choose one, I will definitely choose you.”

This child is so eloquent; he's full of emotional value.

Li Zhixuan sighed slightly, then leaned over and gently kissed Zhang Yuanying's nose, saying softly, "Then come with me for a walk today to cheer me up."

"Mmm!" Zhang Yuanying nodded and smiled happily. Then, looking into Li Zhixuan's eyes, she said coquettishly, "Oppa, you look better when you smile."

Li Zhixuan reached out and gently pinched her cheek, smiling indulgently, "You too."

"From now on, let's all smile and not keep a long face, okay?"

"it is good."

Seeing that she had finally made Li Zhixuan happy, Zhang Yuanying felt a great sense of accomplishment. She then let go of Li Zhixuan's arm and leaned into his arms, asking, "Oppa, where are we going next?"

"You make the arrangements, I'll listen to you."

"Um……"

Where should we go for fun?

Zhang Yuanying thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she quickly said to the driver, "Uncle driver, please take me and Oppa to Sky Park."

"Yes."

Fifty minutes later, they arrived at World Cup Park, located in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu. World Cup Park consists of five parks, and the "Sky Park" that Zhang Yuanying mentioned is one of them.

Because this park is located at the highest point, it was named "Sky Park".

After the car was parked, Li Zhixuan got out. Zhang Yuanying, however, did not rush to get out. Instead, she took out a lipstick-sized tube of ointment from her bag and handed it to the driver.

"Uncle driver, this ointment is for reducing swelling and relieving pain. I used it after I sprained my ankle before, and it worked very well. This tube is new and hasn't been used yet, please use it."

The driver was taken aback, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had never expected Zhang Yuanying to give him ointment.

Then, he quickly waved his hand and refused, saying, "How can this be? How can I accept your things?"

"Why not? It's not worth much, so please keep it."

As she spoke, Zhang Yuanying forcibly shoved the ointment into the driver's hand.

Left with no other option, the driver accepted the money and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Yuan Ying."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Zhang Yuanying shook her head somewhat embarrassedly, then lowered her voice and said to the driver, "Oppa is in a bad mood, please don't blame him."

"No, no, it was my fault, it's not the president's fault."

Seeing the driver's response, Zhang Yuanying smiled sweetly and said, "Then you should rest for a while. Bye-bye!"

"Goodbye."

Zhang Yuanying got out of the car. The driver looked down at the ointment in his hand, then touched his face. He frowned, looking puzzled, and muttered, "This young lady seems pretty good. Why is the president putting on an act in front of her?"

Earlier, on the steps of the hospital ward, the driver accidentally revealed Li Zhixuan's identity as the president to Zhang Yuanying, so he went to apologize to Li Zhixuan.

After he apologized, Li Zhixuan said in a low voice, "It's okay. But I'm going to hit you. Your salary will double this month."

After saying that, Li Zhixuan slapped the driver hard across the face.

Without the phrase "my salary will double this month," the driver would have assumed Li Zhixuan was genuinely angry and was taking it out on him. But because of that phrase, the driver was certain that Li Zhixuan was putting on an act for others.

To whom?
The driver didn't think too much about it and assumed that Li Zhixuan was putting on an act for Zhang Yuanying.

On the other side, Zhang Yuanying got out of the car and immediately skipped over to Li Zhixuan, grabbing his arm and saying, "Okay, Oppa! Let's go!"

Looking at her youthful, lovely, and energetic appearance, Li Zhixuan simply couldn't pretend to be in a bad mood or angry. So he decided to stop pretending for now.

Then, he reached out and gently pinched Zhang Yuanying's round nose, pretending to be reproachful, and said, "What were you secretly saying to the driver in the car just now? Did you give him something?"

Zhang Yuanying nodded: "Yes, it's a medicated ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain."

The little girl is quite good at handling things.

While thinking this to himself, Li Zhixuan pretended to be displeased and said, "What? You feel bad if I slap him?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanying, who had been pretending to be innocent and cute, immediately got angry. She puffed out her cheeks slightly and huffed, "Oppa! If you say something like that again, I won't talk to you anymore!"

"Then explain why you gave him the ointment?"

"Of course it's for you! I'm young and don't understand big principles, but I know there are certain types of people you shouldn't offend at work. The secretary, the driver, and the cook. Even the boss, you shouldn't offend them."

"why?"

"Because your driver and secretary are with you every day, they know almost all your secrets. What if you really anger them and they reveal your secrets to the public?"
Moreover, the driver is responsible for driving you. What if you anger him and he deliberately causes a car accident to take you down with him?
As for why you shouldn't offend a chef, the reason is even simpler: if you offend a chef, at best they'll spit in your food, and at worst they might poison you.

As she spoke, Zhang Yuanying glared angrily at Li Zhixuan, her eyes looking somewhat aggrieved.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan reached out and hugged Zhang Yuanying, apologizing, "I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have said that. I will definitely listen to you from now on and treat the people around me well."

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Yuanying, who was just about to cry in front of Li Zhixuan, immediately broke into a happy smile: "Oppa is so good! Here's a reward for you! *kiss*"

After being kissed, Li Zhixuan laughed: "Haha! Are you trying to coax a child?"

"Huh? Oppa isn't satisfied?"

Zhang Yuanying looked flustered and whispered timidly in Li Zhixuan's ear, "But it's too cold to take off our shoes outside."

Why are you taking off your shoes?

Jang Won-young blinked: "You know perfectly well, don't you? You perverted oppa~"

As she spoke, Zhang Yuanying could no longer maintain her panicked expression, and a teasing smile appeared on her lips.

Seeing this, he straightened his face and pretended to be a little angry and embarrassed, saying, "Zhang Yuanying! If you say I'm a pervert again, I'll get angry with you."

"Humph!"

The little girl wasn't afraid at all. After breaking free from Li Zhixuan's arms, she took two steps back, then put her hands on her hips, revealing a spoiled and arrogant look: "Do you think I'm easily scared? Come on, try it if you dare! Hehehe~"

"I'll call you 'Lie lie lie'!"

"Hey! You resort to scaring me when you can't win an argument, Oppa's so mean!"

Seeing Li Zhixuan charging towards her menacingly, Zhang Yuanying screamed and turned to run.

Because of the cold weather and the fact that it wasn't a holiday, there weren't many people in the park. So their idol drama of chasing each other had no audience.

Zhang Yuanying ran quite fast with her long legs, and soon she reached the famous scenic spot in Sky Park, a large area of ​​"reeds".

Actually, there is no water or reeds here. These things, which are taller than a person and look like reeds, are actually Miscanthus sinensis. Because the part near the root is purplish-red, these Miscanthus sinensis are also known as "purple Miscanthus sinensis".

Every October, Sky Park hosts the "Purple Reed Festival," attracting people to admire the silvery sea of ​​purple reeds.

It's already mid-November, the weather has turned winter, and the purple reeds have turned yellow and withered.

A gentle breeze swept by, and large swathes of withered yellow purple saplings swayed in the wind, rubbing against each other and making a rustling sound.

Looking out, the pampas grass flowers fluttered down, like a group of fairies dressed in white gauze dancing gracefully in the air, or like snowflakes falling in winter, adding a touch of liveliness to this cold world.

Running along the path through the sea of ​​silvergrass, Zhang Yuanying suddenly felt that the scenery was so beautiful that she unconsciously slowed down and stopped to admire it.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan slowed down and came up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. Then he whispered in her ear, "I told you not to run, but I caught you."

Admiring the beautiful scenery before her and listening to Li Zhixuan's teasing words in her ear, Zhang Yuanying's heart pounded, and she suddenly felt a flutter in her heart.

Immediately, she turned around and hugged Li Zhixuan tightly, kissing him.

Of course, Zhang Yuanying brought Li Zhixuan to Sky Park not to kiss him, but to find a quiet place with beautiful scenery for him to relax.

But as the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes.

When you're all kissing so passionately, who's in the mood to appreciate the scenery?
Feeling a bit out of breath, the two were forced to stop their passionate kiss and then looked at each other, panting slightly.

Zhang Yuanying was moved: "Oppa, I want..."

"Come with me." Before Zhang Yuanying could finish speaking, Li Zhixuan pulled her into the depths of the tall grass next to them.

An hour later, it was noon, and Li Zhixuan and Zhang Yuanying arrived at a food street near Sky Park. They planned to stroll and eat like any ordinary couple.

There were sausage vendors at the entrance, and Li Zhixuan bought two. He found them quite tasty, then turned to Zhang Yuanying and asked, "How are they? Are these sausages good?"

Zhang Yuanying pouted and gave Li Zhixuan a resentful look: "Oppa is a liar, he doesn't taste good at all."

Li Zhixuan blushed: "I meant grilled sausages."

"I'm right! This sausage is rotten; you can eat it yourself."

As she spoke, Zhang Yuanying angrily reached out and stuffed the grilled sausage into Li Zhixuan's mouth, then shook off his hand and ran ahead to buy carp cakes.

To express his apology, Li Zhixuan took Zhang Yuanying from one end of the food street to the other, and then took her to see a movie and go shopping.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zhixuan felt that it was about time, so he offered to take Zhang Yuanying home.

“Oppa, I don’t want to go home. Can I stay at your little house for the night? You can go about your business and don’t worry about me. I can take a taxi there myself.”

That's what she said. Can Li Zhixuan let her take a taxi there by herself?
Afterwards, Li Zhixuan took her there, but he didn't get out of the car. After watching Zhang Yuanying enter the building, he asked the driver to take him to the hospital.

In the hospital ward, Ahn Jae-hee and Kim Go-eun were covered in wounds. To be honest, they really had a brush with death this time.

But they held on and did not betray Li Zhixuan.

Then let's stop with the nonsense. We'll give them all the perks: consolation money, bonuses, and holidays, plus a promotion and a raise.

After finishing things here, Li Zhixuan prepared to fly to Jeju Island.

Before he could even leave the hospital, he received a call from Jang Won-young: "Waaaaah~ Oppa! I twisted my ankle again!"
