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

On New Year's Eve, Seoul, which used to be bustling with traffic, suddenly became quiet. Many shops on the street were closed, and restaurants that were usually full of customers had put up signs saying "Closed for consecutive holidays" or "Open for business on New Year's Day".

Lee Chi-hyun first took Jang Won-young and Shin Yoo-na home, then went to his home in Seongnam City to pick up Lim Yoon-ah, Bae Joo-hyun, Jessica Jung, and Jeon Bo-ram before returning to the Lee family mansion.

It was Jeon Boram's first time here, so she seemed particularly nervous. Yoona and the other two had been comforting her all the way, but it wasn't very effective.

"There's no need to be nervous. What's there to be nervous about? Think about what's in your belly. They're the ones who should be nervous. Let's go."

As he spoke, Li Zhixuan took Jeon Boram's hand with his left hand and Lim Yoona's hand with his right hand, preparing to go up the steps into the house.

As for Bae Joo-hyun and Jung Soo-yeon, they were both showing signs of pregnancy, and each had a maid helping them up the steps.

The four pregnant women were protected by people in front and behind them to prevent them from accidentally falling.

"Mom! What are you making for lunch? We're all starving!"

Shen Youna and Zhang Yuanying woke up at nine o'clock in the morning. After they finished breakfast, Li Zhixuan took them home. Then Li Zhixuan went home and took his wives back to the Li family home.

After all that trouble, it was already past 11 a.m., so as soon as he entered the house, he asked what we wanted to eat for lunch.

Kim Bo-young was in the kitchen watching the chef cook when she heard her son's voice. She quickly ran back to the living room and said, "Everything is almost ready. We're just waiting for you to come back. These are all Yoon-ah and the others' favorite dishes."

"Hello, Auntie!" Upon seeing Jin Baoying, the four pregnant women quickly bowed to her.

Seeing this, Jin Baoying hurriedly said, "No, no, no, don't bow. Everyone, sit down quickly and be careful not to upset the baby."

As she spoke, Kim Bo-young's gaze fixed on the newlyweds. Then, with a look of delight, she walked up to them, took their hands, and said with a smile, "Is this Bo-ram? She's as pretty as a child, like a delicate porcelain doll."

Jeon Boram was nervous, but quickly put on a smile and said, "Auntie, you flatter me. Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year! Happy New Year!" Kim Bo-young nodded happily, then asked with concern, "Was the ride alright? Did you get carsick?"

"No, I'm fine." Besides answering truthfully, Jeon Boram didn't know what else to say.

"That's alright. Back when I was with my two brothers, Zhixuan and the others, I got terribly carsick and couldn't ride in a car at all. I couldn't go anywhere and could only stay at home. When I got tired of staying at home, I could only wander around the neighborhood."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan immediately came over, looking obedient: "Dear Mother, you've worked so hard."

"Go away! I wasn't talking to you."

Kim Bo-young pushed her son's head away with a look of disgust, then said to her daughters-in-law with a loving expression, "Come, come! Yoona, Joohyun, Jessica, and Boram, let's sit down and chat."

Lunch was almost ready in the kitchen, so Jin Baoying thought she would chat with these elders for a while, and at the same time, she instructed someone to call Li Zhengxian, Li Zhiwen, and Li Zhiwu, father and sons, over.

Not long after, the father and his two sons came downstairs together in the elevator.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan quickly stood up and greeted them: "Dad! Eldest brother! Second brother!"

Li Zhengxian didn't have time to pay attention to him. Instead, he hurriedly said to his daughters-in-law, who were also about to get up and bow to him, "Sit down, sit down! You all sit down. There aren't so many formalities at home. Do whatever makes you comfortable. Don't move around too much, or you might upset the baby. Especially Xiuyan, your belly is so big. Can you really sit down? Why don't you lie down?"

Faced with the concern of South Korea's largest conglomerate, Jessica Jung felt somewhat flattered and quickly said, "No need, no need, I'm fine sitting down, I'm not tired. Thank you for your concern."

Except for Jeon Boram, who is still in the early stages of pregnancy, the other three women all carry lumbar support cushions with them. With these, their backs don't feel as tired when they're in a car, eating, or sitting on the sofa like now.

Seeing Lee Jung-hyun and his two sons approaching, Jeon Bo-ram felt that since her belly wasn't that big, it would be impolite to just sit there. So she quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "Uncle, eldest brother, second brother, hello, I am Jeon Bo-ram."

No matter what the Lee brothers were cursing inside, they had to greet Jeon Boram with smiles on their faces.

Lee Jung-hyun then handed a file folder to Jeon Bo-ram, saying, "Here! A little something to say to you."

Is there a gift for meeting me?
None of Li Zhixuan or the others had told Quan Baolan about the house reward for getting pregnant, so she was completely unprepared and didn't know what to do. She could only look to Li Zhixuan for help.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan smiled and said, "Take them, you have them too."

"Thank you uncle!"

Upon hearing that he had everything, Jeon Boram accepted it, then sat down with the file bag without opening it to see what was inside.

After Li Zhengxian sat down, Li Zhixuan immediately said to the elderly couple, "Mom and Dad, they also brought you gifts."

The four pregnant women immediately became somewhat nervous.

Li Zhengxian asked curiously, "Oh? What gift?"

Li Zhixuan smiled without saying a word, offering no reply. Then he turned to his bodyguard and ordered, "Go and get it!"

"Yes!"

Soon, several bodyguards brought over eight exquisitely packaged gifts of various sizes, each with an artistic flair and a sense of history.

"Open! Open them all."

"Yes!"

As the packaging was opened, the gifts inside were revealed.

The four pregnant women, who had initially looked somewhat nervous, all turned to look at their scumbag husbands.

"Dad, this is for you—this ink, paper, and inkstone." "Mom, this is for you—this ...

Yes, the gifts prepared by Yoona and the other three were writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and traditional Chinese arts (music, chess, calligraphy, and painting). They were prepared by Yoona, Joo-hyun, Jessica, and Boram, in that order.

To be honest, with the Lunar New Year approaching, how would they know what gifts Li Zhengxian and his wife would like? So they could only turn to their own scumbag husband for help.

But they never expected that they would be tricked by the scumbag.

Was there anything wrong with the gift? Well, you couldn't really say there was anything wrong with it, since both Lee Jung-hyun and Kim Bo-young seemed to like it quite a bit.

However, for Yoona and the others, the gifts they received were all of the same type, completely lacking in uniqueness and failing to highlight their individuality.

This made all four pregnant women a little unhappy.

However, they would not show any unhappiness in front of Li Zhengxian and his wife.

After lunch, when everyone arrived at Li Zhixuan's room, the four pregnant women immediately looked at the scumbag with smiles on their faces.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan remained calm and even acted self-righteously: "What's wrong with that? You asked me what gifts to prepare, and I told you. Is that wrong? Besides, my parents really like the gifts you gave them, don't they? Isn't that great?"

The four of them remained silent, their smiles faded, and their expressions still betrayed some dissatisfaction.

Li Zhixuan first pulled the two heavily pregnant women to sit down on the bed, then said to them, "Didn't I tell you before? Don't worry about those trivial things. You're living with me, not with them. Gifts are just a formality; whether they're thoughtful or not doesn't matter, whether they like them or not doesn't matter, the thought is what counts. Okay, rest now." All four of them were pregnant and wanted Li Zhixuan to be with them. Especially in this relatively unfamiliar environment, they were genuinely nervous without him.

Then let's sleep together.

Although the bed in Li Zhixuan's room wasn't big enough, the room itself was big enough. So, if they added another large bed and put it together with the original double bed, it would be enough for their family of five to sleep together.

Concerned that pregnant women might roll over and fall out of bed while asleep, Kim Bo-young had a safety railing installed around the bed. There are openings in the middle of both sides of the bed to make it easier for people to get in and out, and the rest of the bed is surrounded, making it much safer.

After educating the pregnant women, Li Zhixuan first helped Jessica Jung, who had the biggest belly, onto the bed and lay her down in the middle. Bae Joo-hyun lay down to Jessica Jung's left, and Im Yoon-ah lay down to Jessica Jung's right.

Lee Chi-hyun is standing next to Bae Joo-hyun on this side, and Jeon Bo-ram is standing next to Im Yoon-ah on the other side.

Li Zhixuan was closest to the door, so he could react quickly if anything happened.

After a short lunch break, it was 1:30 PM.

Lee Chi-hyun and Jeon Bo-ram were the first to wake up, followed by Bae Joo-hyun. Im Yoon-ah and Jessica Jung were more sleepy and woke up about an hour later.

During the Chinese New Year, there's nothing to do. Even after waking up, there's still nothing to do, so I either play on my phone or chat.

Li Zhixuan originally wanted to take them to play mahjong, but he was worried that someone might get carried away and miscarry their child, so he gave up the idea.

After chatting for a while, Yoona suddenly remembered something and asked, "When shall we go make dumplings?"

South Koreans don't eat dumplings during the Lunar New Year, but Lee Chi-heon does. He even asked his girlfriends to learn how to make dumplings so that he could eat dumplings made by his family during the New Year.

However, this is at the Li family's house, not their own home.

So, Li Zhixuan said to Lin Yun'er, "We'll make more when we get back to our own home tomorrow. Today, we'll just eat what the kitchen makes. You two should rest well. If you get bored, you can go for a walk in the garden."

Not having to make dumplings? That would be even more boring.

"or……"

Yoona rolled her eyes and then looked at the scumbag with ill intent.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan immediately asked warily, "What do you want to do?"

"Hehe~ Let us play with you, so we won't be bored."

"Mmmmmmm!"

The other three ladies nodded in agreement with Yoona's suggestion.

I can forgive Bae Joo-hyun, and I can forgive Jessica Jung, but Jeon Bo-ram shouldn't be like this.

"You're only a little over a month pregnant, why are you getting involved?"

Upon hearing this, Jeon Boram puffed out her cheeks slightly and retorted somewhat angrily, "I'm playing with you, not asking you to play with me. What does it have to do with how long I'm pregnant?"

"Hahaha!"

Im Yoona and Jessica Jung were amused by Jeon Boram's words, while Bae Joo-hyun laughed and agreed, "That's right! Just don't move around. Otherwise, you'll be responsible for the consequences if you hurt us."

Li Zhixuan disagreed with this. But what good would his resistance do? He didn't dare to resist forcefully.

To make his wives happy, he had no choice but to sacrifice himself.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

Because of the time difference, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala starts at 7 pm in Seoul.

At this time, the International Date Line coincides with the International Date Line, and the entire world is on the same day. This ingenious design allows Chinese people around the world to watch the Spring Festival Gala on the same day, achieving a cultural resonance of "universal celebration."

To be honest, before he transmigrated, Li Zhixuan wasn't interested in the Spring Festival Gala. He could watch it or not, especially since he didn't have any relatives or friends and didn't even have anyone to keep him company during the New Year.

Seeing families celebrating the Lunar New Year together on TV made him feel sad.

So let alone the Spring Festival Gala, even the Chinese New Year is a rather agonizing experience for him.

But things are different today. Now he not only has parents who are his biological parents and two older brothers, but also a wife and children.

Furthermore, his sense of identity has never wavered. At this moment, he felt like a wanderer spending the Lunar New Year in a foreign land with his wife and children, and he missed home.

I absolutely have to watch this Spring Festival Gala.

Apart from Lim Yoon-ah, no one else could understand what was being said on TV, so the only one who actually watched TV with Li Zhixuan was Lim Yoon-ah.

Around 9 p.m., when the pregnant women were all supposed to be asleep, Li Zhiwen and Wu hurriedly made their escape.

Afterwards, Li Zhixuan persuaded Li Zhengxian and his wife to go back to their room to rest. Then he spent his time alone, chatting online with his girlfriends while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Actually, the 2016 Spring Festival Gala was already much worse than before, but compared to the later, ridiculously bad "Photo Studio," the 2016 Year of the Monkey Spring Festival Gala was still watchable.

“亲爱的朋友们，零点的钟声马上就要敲响了，让我们一起倒计时10、9、8、7……2、1！过年好！！！”

As midnight Beijing time arrived, a line of gold text appeared on the red background of the television screen: Wishing all Chinese people around the world a Happy Chinese New Year!

Li Zhixuan had seen this line of text many times, and he had also heard this sentence said many times.

To be honest, he didn't really feel anything about that statement before.

But now, being in a foreign land, seeing those words again during the Lunar New Year, he suddenly felt a mix of emotions, his nose tingled, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Fortunately, there were no South Koreans around him at the moment, otherwise even if Yoona and the others were with him, they still wouldn't understand why he was reacting this way.

Who told him that his current physical body is a real stick?

Ugh!
Meanwhile, fireworks and firecrackers were already filling the sky over China, even though fireworks and firecrackers were banned.

But on the South Korean side, it was completely quiet, without a single sound.

Without firecrackers, what's the New Year's atmosphere like?

Li Zhixuan was very dissatisfied, so he took out his phone and made a call to his subordinate.

After he finished, he sent a group message to all his wives: 【Everyone, gather in Chengnan City tomorrow night!】 (End of Chapter)
