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

Christmas Eve is over and Christmas is just around the corner, but Li Zhixuan has no interest in these Western holidays.

He might be somewhat interested if it were a birthday celebration for Jesus' brother, Hong Xiuquan, the Heavenly King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

However, he wasn't interested, but the whole of South Korea was very interested in Western festivals, and this day was a national holiday in South Korea.

It's holiday time, and the little girls have all gone home to visit their parents or grandparents. Minatozaki Sana and Mina have both gone back to Japan.

Although the older girls also had to go home to visit their parents and elders, by the afternoon they all returned to their homes in Chengnan City to decorate, put up a Christmas tree, build a snowman in the yard, and most importantly, prepare filling for making dumplings.

The person who asked them to make dumplings was practicing calligraphy in his study.

Li Zhixuan felt that he had dated quite a few girls, and with the children due in a few months, he would be an adult once he had children. He couldn't be so playful anymore and needed to cultivate his character.

The scenery of the Northland is magnificent, with thousands of miles of ice and snow.

Looking at the inside and outside of the Great Wall, there is nothing but mangmang;

The mountains dance like silver snakes, and the plains gallop like wax elephants, vying with the heavens for height.

On a sunny day, one can see people dressed in red and white, looking exceptionally enchanting.

There are so many splendid rivers and mountains, which has attracted countless heroes.

Unfortunately, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han were slightly lacking in literary talent; Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Song were somewhat inferior in poetic flair.

The great Genghis Khan only knew how to shoot eagles with a bow.

All that is past; to find truly remarkable figures, look to the present.

"Ugh!"

After a flurry of brushstrokes, Li Zhixuan looked at his calligraphy and sighed heavily.

The words are magnificent and powerful, but the handwriting is terrible, like a dog's scratch or a chicken's peck. It's not only disrespectful to the teacher's words, but it's also disrespectful to the paper on which it was written.

"I've been practicing for hours, but I haven't made any progress. What's wrong? Do I lack talent?"

Li Zhixuan held a calligraphy brush in his hand, the brush tip between his teeth, his brows furrowed, looking utterly bewildered.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to try some nourishing food, so he shouted towards the door, "Someone come here!"

The door opened quickly, and a bodyguard appeared outside, bowing and saying, "President."

"Tell the kitchen to add a bowl of braised pork for dinner, without soy sauce, using caramel coloring, and also add chili peppers, lots of chili peppers."

"Yes, I understand."

After closing the door, the bodyguard ran to the kitchen to convey Li Zhixuan's orders, and ran into Lin Yoona on the way.

Soon, Lim Yoona appeared in the study.

"Hehe~"

Seeing the scumbag's masterpiece on the desk, Lim Yoona couldn't help but burst out laughing, then said to him teasingly, "You've been hiding in the study for almost a day, and this is your result?"

Li Zhixuan blushed and said, "What's so funny? I've only just started practicing. Wait two months and you'll see I'm already quite proficient."

"You're really getting the hang of it now; Baolan's face is completely devoid of smiles."

"what?"

Li Zhixuan was taken aback, initially not understanding what Lin Yun'er meant. However, he quickly realized what she meant and said helplessly, "I'm not avoiding her. Can't I practice calligraphy in the study to cultivate my mind?"

Yoona shrugged and spread her hands: "But she doesn't think that way. If you don't cultivate your character earlier or later, but she comes after you, you hide in your study and start cultivating your character. Anyone would think twice in that situation."

"Hmm... if that's the case, it's easy to misunderstand. Okay, I'll go down and meet her."

"Ah."

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhixuan took Lin Yoona's hand, and the two went downstairs together.

On the first floor, a group of women were in the kitchen, some preparing fillings and others kneading dough.

"How's the preparation going? Will we be able to have dumplings tonight?"

"Just wait to eat." "I'll definitely let you eat!" "Oppa, I created my own chocolate-filled dumplings, you have to try them tonight."

A group of women answered all at once, but only Park Ji-yeon's answer was heard clearly by Lee Chi-heon, because this girl's dumplings were too heretical!

Chocolate-filled dumplings! Wow!

"Okay! I'll definitely eat it!"

If it's heretical, so be it; don't discourage the child's enthusiasm.

Then, Lee Chi-heon went and brought a chair and placed it behind Park Min-young, who was stirring the filling.

"Min-young, you've just recovered, don't stand for too long, sit down and do it."

"Uh-huh."

Feeling pleased that Lee Chi-heon had shown concern for her in front of all her sisters, Park Min-young nodded and sat down.

Then, Li Zhixuan came to Quan Baolan, who was kneading dough with her head down: "Big sister, come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Jeon Boram looked up at Lee Chi-hyun with a blank expression: "What does the president want to say to me? Just say it here."

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan smiled politely and said, "We can't talk about it here. If you don't want to come, then forget it."

After saying that, he turned and left, going straight to the walk-in closet in the entryway, where he put on a down jacket and changed his shoes.

On the other side, Jeon Boram was originally going to be stubborn, but she couldn't resist the group of girls next to her urging her to hurry up and chase after them.

Finally, she naturally rushed after him.

But after she put on her down jacket, changed her shoes, and chased after him outside, she found that Li Zhixuan was nowhere to be seen.

It doesn't matter if there's no shadow, it's snowing. Although the servants are diligently sweeping the paths in the yard, there's still a thin layer of snow, and footprints will be left when someone walks on it.

So, Jeon Boram decided to go down the steps to find the footprints. Once she found the footprints, she would know where Lee Chi-hyun had gone.

"ah!"

Just as Jeon Boram took two steps forward and was about to reach the steps, she suddenly felt herself being lifted into the air by someone, which startled the child so much that she immediately screamed.

Haha! Was it fun?

The scumbag who succeeded in his prank laughed heartily and put Jeon Boram down again.

"It's not fun at all!" The eldest sister turned around angrily, stomping her feet.

Although Jeon Boram is older, she is short and has a youthful face, so she looks like a child.

But when she stomped her foot, her chest immediately started jiggling, so much so that even her down jacket couldn't stop it, which shows just how big it was.

This is the epitome of a youthful-looking beauty! A striking contrast.

Li Zhixuan reached out and took Quan Baolan's hand, explaining and coaxing, "I was practicing calligraphy in the study, I wasn't hiding from you." "Oh!" Quan Baolan responded, then pulled away from the scumbag's hand and turned to give him a disgruntled back view.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan continued to explain, "Since you're all here today, if I ask you out alone, you'll become the target of everyone's criticism. So I thought I'd ask you out after today."

That makes a lot of sense.

Jeon Boram turned and looked up at Lee Chi-heon: "Really?"

"Of course it's true."

As he spoke, Li Zhixuan helped Quan Baolan put on the hood of her down jacket, then reached out his hand to her and said, "Let's talk as we walk."

"Um……"

Looking at Li Zhixuan's large hand, Jeon Boram pretended to be reserved for a moment, and then placed her small hand on Li Zhixuan's large hand.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan smiled happily, then took Quan Baolan's small hand and put it into his down jacket pocket.

That will keep you warm and prevent your hands from getting cold.

The two exchanged a smile and then walked down the steps.

As they walked, Jeon Boram confided in Lee Chi-heon, "Honestly, you're handsome, have a high status, and even helped us restore our reputation, so I actually quite like you too. Sigh!"

At this point, she sighed, then turned to look at Li Zhixuan with a worried expression on her face. "But you have too many women. I feel like if I'm with you, I'll become like a concubine in the harem of an ancient king, waiting for your favor all day long, but I'll never get it. Then I'll become depressed and abnormal."

Seeing her frowning and pouting like a worried child, Li Zhixuan smiled, reached out and patted the child's head, and said, "But you still chose to be with me."

The child pouted and said, "If I don't stay with you, who would want me? If you don't believe me, go ask Sunny, Yuri, and the others if any men are pursuing them."

Hearing this, Li Zhixuan was slightly surprised: "According to you, I have to take all of Girls' Generation too?"

"That's your problem." Actually, what Jeon Boram was thinking was: Isn't this just a matter of time?

Li Zhixuan quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it! I won't accept it, and I have no dealings with any of them, so it's impossible for us to be together."

"Whatever, the focus right now is on me." With that, Jeon Boram stopped, looked up into Lee Chi-heon's eyes, and asked seriously, "Are you going to take me in or not? If you don't, I'll get too old!"

Li Zhixuan smiled slightly, then walked around behind Quan Baolan, put his hands around her small waist, and lifted her up forcefully!
"ah!"

Jeon Boram screamed in fright again, and instinctively closed her eyes.

But she quickly felt herself settled, opened her eyes, and exclaimed, "My God! It's so high!"
Finding herself riding on Lee Chi-hyun's neck, or rather, sitting on his shoulders, Jeon Bo-ram felt a little flustered. This perspective, nearly two and a half meters high, was something she had never experienced before, and she quickly grabbed Lee Chi-hyun's head with both hands.

Li Zhixuan grabbed Quan Baolan's legs to prevent her from falling, and then laughed, "Look at you, you're like a baby, where are you old? Come on, Oppa will take you for a stroll in the garden."

"Oppa?"

Jeon Boram was displeased. She gently grabbed Lee Chi-hyun's ear with one hand and said in a fierce tone, "Call me 'older sister'!"

Faced with the threat, Li Zhixuan was not afraid at all and said directly, "Call me Oppa!"

"Call sister!"

"Call me Oppa!"

"Call sister!"

Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Li Zhixuan unleashed his ultimate move: "Are you going to yell or not? If you don't yell, I'm running away!"

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and took two steps.

Quan Baolan was already a little nervous, and she became even more nervous as Li Zhixuan walked faster. Then she thought about the snow on the ground and what if Li Zhixuan fell and hit his head?
"Oh! Oppa, Oppa! I was wrong! Oppa!"

The child was so frightened that his voice cracked.

Li Zhixuan was quite satisfied with this: "Hmm, good boy~"

"Hmph! You bad little brother!" Jeon Boram was so angry that she could only tug at the scumbag's ear a couple of times to vent her anger, but she didn't dare to use too much force.

"Haha!" The scumbag laughed smugly, then looked up at Jeon Boram's face and asked, "Boram, what are your hobbies?"

“Singing, dancing, and collecting bottles.”

"Collecting bottles?" Li Zhixuan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Collecting mineral water bottles to exchange for money?"

As he spoke, a picture appeared in his mind: Jeon Boram, with a dirty little face and tattered clothes, was walking down the street looking miserable, carrying a woven bag in his left hand and a pair of trash pickers in his right hand, and then he started rummaging through every trash can he saw.

Finally! He pulled out a mineral water bottle, and a happy smile bloomed on Jeon Boram's pained little face!

Jeon Boram had no idea what Lee Chi-hyun was thinking, but she was already speechless when she heard his words: "I'm seriously collecting all kinds of bottles, not picking up junk!"

"That's quite an interesting hobby of yours. I'll keep an eye out for all sorts of strange and unusual bottles for you in the future."

"Thank you. What about you? What are your hobbies?"

"Study the art of the bedroom."

???

Jeon Boram was taken aback at first, then pursed her lips and showed a speechless expression: "President, you are really a talent to make being a womanizer sound so cultured."

"Haha! You flatter me."

Seeing how smug he was, Jeon Boram didn't know what to say. She smiled helplessly, then cupped his face in her hands, leaned down, looked into his eyes, and asked, "By your standards, am I good-looking?"

Li Zhixuan temporarily released one of Quan Baolan's legs, then gave her a thumbs-up: "Not just ordinary, but really good."

"Then... I'll be waiting for you in my room tonight."

As she spoke, Jeon Boram's cheeks flushed red, and she looked away, no longer daring to meet Lee Chi-hyun's gaze. But then, she heard Lee Chi-hyun refuse, "I don't have time tonight. I have to spend time with Yoon-ah and the other two pregnant women."

This……

How disappointing! So frustrating! Jeon Boram's initially excited mood instantly turned sour.

However, she couldn't express her dissatisfaction because Li Zhixuan was going to accompany the pregnant woman; otherwise, she would be too insensible.

"Okay then, remember to let me know when you have time."

"Don't worry, definitely!"

After playing in the garden for a while, it gradually got dark. Dinner was dumplings with braised pork, dumplings of various shapes and fillings.

Aside from Park Hyo-min's dumplings, the others' dumplings weren't very good. But this was only the first time, and there was still a long way to go before Lunar New Year's Eve, so they had plenty of time to practice.

That evening, since the scumbag didn't have time to pamper Jeon Boram, the six members of Tara gathered in Park Hyomin's bedroom for a meeting and some fun. Because she was one of the three, her room was relatively large, and the six of them weren't crowded together.

Finally, at Park Hyomin's suggestion, and with the agreement of Park Jiyeon, Ham Eunjung, and others, the six of them rested together in Park Hyomin's bedroom.

As midnight approached, a dark figure appeared at the door of Park Hyo-min's room.

Just as the dark figure was about to open Park Hyo-min's bedroom door, the door to the next room opened.

"Stop it right now! You scumbag!" (End of Chapter)
