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

[After one week in theaters, "Train to Busan" has surpassed 10 million admissions!]

[The fastest film in South Korean film history to surpass 10 million admissions has been born!]

[The cast and crew of "Train to Busan" celebrated surpassing 10 million viewers with a zombie dance! Screenwriter Lee Chi-heon made a surprise appearance!]

In just seven days, Train to Busan attracted 10.5 million viewers and grossed nearly 80 billion South Korean won. Of this, Star Entertainment received about 25 billion won, making a profit of over 100%.

If things continue like this, Train to Busan's total box office could really reach 20 million admissions, or at least come very close.

In other words, Train to Busan is definitely going to achieve the record for the highest-grossing film in South Korean film history.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhixuan felt that Xingji Entertainment's film division should become independent and was qualified to do so.

In addition, Li Zhixuan felt that his business was growing bigger and bigger, and it was time to appear in public.

So, taking advantage of the fact that "Train to Busan" had surpassed 10 million viewers at the box office, he recorded a zombie dance with the cast and crew of "Train to Busan".

It should also be mentioned that this zombie dance was choreographed by Kim Tae-yeon. She also became the first of Li Zhixuan's women to appear in public with him.

Li Zhixuan's women expressed their envy.

On that very day, Bae Joo-hyun, along with Im Yoon-ah, Jessica Jung, and Krystal Jung, went to the cinema to watch "Train to Busan" for the third time and then took a group photo which they posted online.

The internet exploded immediately!

Why? Because netizens discovered their pregnant bellies.

When Li Zhixuan first heard that Bae Joo-hyun was being cyberbullied, he also thought it was because netizens had noticed her slightly protruding belly.

But then she thought about it again and realized that it didn't make sense. It was winter and people were wearing thick clothes. Bae Joo-hyun was not even four months pregnant yet. Her belly was only a little bigger than before. She just looked a little chubby. How could her pregnant belly be detected?
After checking online, Li Zhixuan finally understood why Bae Joo-hyun was being cyberbullied.

During this period, or rather in the last two months, Bae Joo-hyun has been spending time with Jessica Jung and Yoona, and has basically stopped doing schedules with the other members of Red Velvet.

The most crucial point is that their group has only been around for a little over a year, and Bae Joo-hyun, as the core member and leader of the group, is already refusing to play with her teammates. This is bound to get her criticized.

This is actually one of the reasons why Bae Joo-hyun said she didn't want to get pregnant.

Although she had prepared herself for the possibility of being criticized, she still found it hard to bear receiving more than 3,000 comments in an hour, with over 70% of them being negative.

Seeing that Bae Joo-hyun's complexion was getting worse and she was still staring at her phone, Lee Chi-hyun quickly went over, took the phone from her hand, and put it aside. Then he hugged her and comforted her, saying, "Okay, that's just how netizens are. They flock to praise whoever is good and flock to criticize whoever is bad. Don't take it too seriously."

"I know." Bae Joo-hyun forced a smile and nodded, then lowered her head and gently touched her throbbing lower abdomen, saying, "I'm pregnant. Even if it's just for him, I can't be sad or upset. But..."

At this point, Bae Joo-hyun looked apologetic and continued to Lee Chi-hyun, "I did drag Wendy and the others down, and that was definitely my fault."

"That's not right either. When you're not around, that idiot will definitely share some of the resources that originally belonged to you with the others, which objectively increases their resources. How can that be considered a burden to them?"

"But I never hang out with them, it makes it seem like I'm going solo, isn't that a bad idea?"

That's definitely not good, otherwise why would Bae Joo-hyun be cyberbullied?

However, given Bae Joo-hyun's current physical condition, singing and dancing are definitely not an option. Even if Lee Chi-hyun agreed, Bae Joo-hyun herself wouldn't dare, let alone Lee Chi-hyun.

If you want to be able to stay together safely... travel?
Li Zhixuan's eyes lit up: "How about this, before your belly gets too big, I'll arrange for someone to record a travel variety show for you guys. What do you think?"

Bae Joo-hyun's eyes lit up: "Hmm! That's a good idea, I'll ask them."

"Ah."

"Li Zhixuan!!!"

Bae Joo-hyun was sending messages to Son Seung-wan and a few others when Jung Soo-jung's shouts came from upstairs.

The two looked up, and Li Zhixuan asked, "What's wrong?"

"My sister seems to have caught a cold."

Li Zhixuan frowned and asked in confusion, "If you have a cold, you have a cold; if you don't have a cold, you don't have a cold. Why does it seem like you have a cold?"

"She just felt a little dizzy and had a stuffy nose, but she had no other symptoms."

So that means it's not a big problem?

Bae Joo-hyun just suffered from cyberbullying, and Lee Chi-hsuan is here comforting her. Jung Soo-jung came over to bother them over something trivial; this kid is a bit inconsiderate.

"Why don't you call a doctor? What's the use of telling me?"

Li Zhixuan was a little dissatisfied, so his tone was slightly harsh.

Seeing this, Krystal Jung immediately became agitated: "Hey! Lee Chi-hin! What kind of attitude is this? Jessica Jung is your girlfriend and the mother of your child. She has a cold, is it wrong for me to inform you? Besides! She asked me to contact you, why are you yelling at me?"

Li Zhixuan immediately retorted, "Who yelled at you? How dare this child talk to your brother-in-law like that?"

"Shameless! Bah!"

The topic of brother-in-law and sister-in-law is exciting to even think about. Krystal's face flushed slightly, and then she turned around and went back to her room in a huff.

Seeing this, Bae Joo-hyun smiled and took Lee Ji-heon's hand, saying, "Let's go see Jessica unnie."

"Don't go. She has a cold and you'll catch it. Let me help you back to your room to rest."

"No, I'll just watch TV here for a while."

"it is good."

After turning on the TV for Bae Joo-hyun, Lee Chi-heon went upstairs to Jessica Jung's room. Soon after, the doctor arrived and gave her a thorough examination.

Seeing that the doctor had finished the examination, Li Zhixuan quickly asked, "How was it?"

"No problem. Miss Sika doesn't have a cold. The dizziness and stuffy nose are due to the increased blood volume after pregnancy, which leads to a temporary lack of blood supply to the brain, or nasal congestion caused by congestion of the nasal mucosa."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan and the Zheng sisters both breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Li Zhixuan immediately asked, "Then how do we solve this?"

"If you feel dizzy, just be careful to get up slowly and avoid standing up suddenly. If you have a stuffy nose, you can install an air humidifier in the room to moisturize the air, which can also relieve the stuffiness."

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome."

The doctor then left. Jung Soo-jung went to buy a humidifier.

Lee Chi-hsuan then lay down on the bed with Jessica Jung in his arms, gently pinched the tip of her nose, and teased, "Little jealous pot, you're jealous just because I spend a little more time with Joo-hyun?"

Yoona and the others have all gone to film a reality show, so now only the four of them are in the resort villa.

Seeing that Li Zhixuan had misunderstood, Zheng Xiuyan quickly explained, "No way! I called you here because I have a surprise for you, okay?"

As she spoke, Jessica Jung grew angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh on the inside of the scumbag's thigh. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Hearing the scumbag's screams, Jessica Jung felt much better and finally let him go.

Li Zhixuan quickly rubbed the spot where he had been pinched, and then asked, "What surprise is it?"

Jessica Jung smiled slightly: "Put your hand on my stomach."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan immediately realized something and placed his hand on Zheng Xiuyan's slightly protruding belly.

About three minutes later, Li Zhixuan exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! It moved!"

A sentence in Chinese came out of her mouth, and Jessica Jung understood it. Since becoming pregnant, she's had more and more free time, so she's recently started learning Chinese.

"Haha! Isn't that amazing? He actually started moving!"

"Mmm! It really is amazing!"

Li Zhixuan felt a vibration on Zheng Xiuyan's stomach, like the flapping of butterfly wings. It wasn't strong, but it gave people a very magical feeling.

I was pleasantly surprised!
But less than half a minute later, Jessica Jung noticed that Lee Chi-hin's expression had changed, becoming somewhat serious.

What does this mean? Isn't this fetal movement? Could it be that I have some serious illness?

Jessica Jung couldn't help but worry and quickly grabbed Lee Chi-hin's arm, asking, "What's with that expression? What happened?"

Li Zhixuan hugged Zheng Xiuyan in his arms and kissed her forehead tenderly: "He can move now, which means you're really going to start to suffer."

With three pregnant women in the family, Li Zhixuan had already researched what might happen at each stage of pregnancy.

Jessica Jung has started to feel fetal movement now. As the baby grows bigger, she will start to experience aches and pains here and there, her skin will deteriorate, her hands and feet will swell, her muscles will become loose, and she will become less attractive.

These things might not matter to others, but when they happen to his own woman, Li Zhixuan can't help but feel heartache.

As for Jessica Jung, she was happy that this man knew how to care for her, and she quickly cupped his face to comfort him, saying, "It's nothing serious. Wasn't my mom like this when she was pregnant with me? Then she got pregnant with Krystal."

Speaking of Jessica Jung's mother, Li Zhixuan remembered something else.

"You've practically covered the entire Jeju Island. Have you finished filming your reality show? Shouldn't we go to the US to meet your parents? If we wait any longer, your belly will really get big."

Jessica Jung panicked and quickly retorted, "I'm not in a hurry, why are you?"

"You're carrying my child, how can I not be anxious? If I didn't love you, I wouldn't be in such a hurry. But don't I love you?"

Jessica Jung shook her head: "Let's wait a few more days and let me prepare some more."

"You've been preparing for so long, and you're still not ready?"

“I’m afraid I’ll cry when I see my parents, and that will affect my child.”

"Well... we can't just take the baby to see them, can we? That would be too stimulating, and I'm afraid your parents wouldn't be able to handle it."

"Why don't you go with Eileen to meet her parents first, and then come to the United States with me at the end?"

"Okay, I'll ask her when we eat later."

"Why wait any longer? Go now."

"Okay, I'll go ask her opinion."

Seeing that Li Zhixuan had gone to find Pei Zhuxuan, Zheng Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, she really didn't dare to see her parents. Firstly, she was afraid that her emotions would affect her child, and secondly, she was worried that her parents wouldn't be able to accept this reality.

Having a child out of wedlock isn't the problem; the key issue is that Li Zhixuan has a bunch of women, making it virtually impossible for her to marry him. Will her parents accept this situation?
She's already 26, almost 27 years old, and her parents are both over 50. What if she gets high blood pressure because of anxiety or anger? What if she has a stroke?
Jessica Jung is worried about this, but isn't Irene Bae worried about it too?

Although Bae Joo-hyun's parents are a few years younger than Jessica Jung's parents, she still worries about making them sick!
"Hmm... let's wait a bit longer."

Li Zhixuan sighed helplessly: "Why are you like this too? Why do you avoid this kind of problem? It's one thing for Xiuyan, after all, her parents are in the United States. Even if she keeps dragging it out, it's not impossible for her to wait until the child is born."

But you're different. Your parents are in Daegu. Aren't you going back now? Not for New Year's Day? What about Chinese New Year? You'll be heavily pregnant then. Wouldn't it be even more of a shock to them if you went to see them then?

Li Zhixuan was absolutely right; Pei Zhuxuan had no way to refute him. Just then, her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat, and she nervously answered the call.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm filming a show with Yoona and the others in Jeju Island. It's just a publicity stunt by the company, so don't worry. Are you coming home for New Year's Day? Hmm..."

Bae Joo-hyun hesitated for a moment before glancing at Lee Chi-hyun, who immediately gave her an encouraging look.

Seeing this, Bae Joo-hyun took a deep breath and then mustered up her courage to say to her mother, "Mom, I have something to tell you. I... I'm dating a boyfriend named Lee Chi-hyun, who is the third young master of the Lee Group."

After saying that, Bae Joo-hyun realized there was no response from the other end. Worried that something had happened to her mother, she hurriedly called out, "Mom! Mom! Are you listening?"

Soon, Pei's mother's trembling voice came from the other end: "You...you were sexually harassed by him?"

"It's not a quid pro quo, it's a legitimate relationship, and he treats me very well."

Silly girl, you've been tricked and don't even know it.

Mother Pei wiped away her tears and asked, "How good is it?"

"He took me home to meet his parents."

what? !

They've already met each other's parents!?
Is it really a romantic relationship?!
What a huge surprise! Pei's mother was almost stunned and hurriedly asked, "Are you taking him home for New Year's Day?"

"Hmm... I'm still thinking about it."

consider?

Upon hearing this, Pei's mother became anxious: "What are you still considering? You've already met his parents, you should introduce him to me and your father!"

"But he has more than one woman."

"Uh... what number can you take?"

"Hmm..." Bae Joo-hyun blushed and glanced at Lee Chi-hyun with a hint of embarrassment: "The top five should be a sure thing."

"Are you pregnant?"

"Uh……"

"I'll discuss with your dad how to receive him, and then I'll contact you again."

"Well, I see."
