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

"Boom!"

At midnight, the night was as dark as ink, and a sudden clap of thunder shattered the silence, waking many people from their sleep, including Li Zhixuan, who was sleeping on a cot.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

After the thunderclap, large raindrops began to fall, pattering against the window and instantly forming a curtain of rain.

Li Zhixuan quickly got up and looked at Jin Dongtian on the hospital bed next to him, and then he was stunned.

Jin Dongtian opened his eyes! He opened his eyes with a face full of terror!

Upon seeing this, Li Zhixuan was overjoyed. He abruptly sat up on the edge of the bed, took Jin Dongtian's hand, and said, "Dongtian! You're awake? How are you feeling? Do you still recognize me?"

Jin Dongtian remembered being in a haunted house, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a hospital room. She was wearing an oxygen mask and had some messy wires attached to her body.

What's going on? The child is so scared he's completely frozen in place.

Upon seeing Li Zhixuan, Jin Dongtian immediately stopped being afraid and jumped up to throw herself into his arms, crying, "Oppa! You scared me to death! Waaaaah~"

Tears welled up as if a dam had burst!
Seeing this, Li Zhixuan quickly hugged Jin Dongtian tightly, patted her back gently, and softly comforted her, "It's okay, it's all over. I'm here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid of anything. I will protect you."

After being comforted by Li Zhixuan for a while, Jin Dongtian's emotions finally stabilized.

Huang Lizhi and Zhao Meiyan, who were resting in the next ward, also heard the noise and ran over.

Li Zhixuan then called the doctor. After a brief examination, the doctor determined that Jin Dongtian was out of danger.

After the doctor left, Li Zhixuan hurriedly asked, "Winter, what happened to you? What did you see in the haunted house?"

Upon hearing this question, Jin Dongtian's originally rosy complexion suddenly turned pale, and a look of panic appeared on her face. She then clung tightly to Li Zhixuan and whispered, "I...I saw a ghost suddenly jump out and scare me, and then I don't know anything else."

"What the hell? What does it look like?"

"It was wearing a prison uniform, its face was deathly pale, completely bloodless, and it had dark circles under its eyes. Its pupils were also black, pure black, it was terrifying. Did you see it?"

According to Kim Dong-won's description, Hwang Ye-ji and Jo Mi-yeon were certain that the ghost they saw was an actor from the haunted house. The only difference was that the actor's eyes were normal human eyes, not pure black.

However, considering that Kim Dong-won might have been too scared to see clearly, neither of them mentioned it, and they nodded to indicate that they had also seen it.

Then, Hwang Yee-ji looked at Kim Dong-dong with a wry smile and explained, "We saw it too. It wasn't a real ghost, but an actor from the haunted house, or you could call him an NPC."

"Huh?" Jin Dongtian's eyes widened immediately; she simply couldn't believe her ears!

I actually fainted from fright because of an NPC? I thought I had seen a real ghost?
This is so embarrassing!

Jin Dongtian quickly said, "Impossible, right? That thing looked eerie, with black eyes. How could it be human?"

Zhao Meiyan sighed and explained, "He really is a person. He looks eerie because of his makeup, and his eyes aren't pure black either. He wasn't wearing colored contact lenses. He was almost scared to death by you after you passed out."

"Yes, he was a student working a summer job, and you almost scared him to tears."

Hearing this, Kim Dong-won frowned and thought about it, then realized it made sense. If the other party really was a ghost, there was no reason why only she would be scared unconscious while Zhao Meiyan and Huang Lizhi were unharmed.

But she remembered that the other person was clearly terrifying, otherwise she wouldn't have fainted from fright. After all, she didn't consider herself the least timid girl.

Immediately, Jin Dongtian raised his question: "His eyes aren't pure black?"

Zhao Meiyan shook her head and said, "No, it's just a normal person's eyeball. You must be seeing things."

Huang Lizhi continued, "It's also possible that it was too dark in the haunted house and you couldn't see clearly."

"Uh...maybe."

This is the most reasonable explanation. Although it's embarrassing, upon closer reflection, Jin Dongtian thinks that although it's a bit embarrassing to be scared unconscious by an NPC because he's too timid, it's still better than actually encountering a ghost!
Thinking about it, Jin Dong glanced out the window. At that moment, thunder and lightning were raging outside, and the rain was pouring down.

She asked in bewilderment, "Are the clouds outside too thick? Or is it really dark? How long have I been unconscious?"

Hwang Ye-ji said, "It's already 12:30, and you've been unconscious for over 11 hours. The experts at Busan Hospital and Lee's Seoul Hospital couldn't find the cause of your illness. I thought you weren't going to wake up. You scared us to death, you know?"

"More than eleven hours?!"

Jin Dongtian was stunned, but then her face lit up with joy as she looked at Li Zhixuan: "Oppa, are you also worried that I won't wake up?"

Before Li Zhixuan could answer, Zhao Meiyan pouted and said jealously, "Oppa rushed from Seoul to Busan as soon as he heard you were unconscious, and then arranged for a helicopter to fly you back to Seoul from Busan. Up until now, Oppa has been by your side the whole time, and hasn't even eaten dinner. Do you think he's afraid you won't wake up?"

He stayed by my side the whole time, and didn't even eat dinner.

This……

Kim Dong-won's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she asked, moved, "Oppa, was I really that important to you?"

Li Zhixuan lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, saying softly, "You are my woman, of course you are important to me."

"Mmm!" After nodding vigorously, Jin Dongtian shed tears of happiness.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan quickly wiped away her tears and then asked, "Winter, did you dream while you were unconscious? Whether it was a nightmare or anything else, did you see or hear anything?"

Upon hearing this, the three women were all taken aback, and then Huang Lizhi seemed to be deep in thought.

Jin Dongtian found it strange that Li Zhixuan was asking this, and then honestly replied, "No, nothing at all, I don't remember anything."

"How did you wake up just now?"

"The thunder just now startled me, and then I was woken up."

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere right now? Are you still sleepy?"

"I'm not sleepy anymore, but I feel weak and a little hungry."

"Okay, I'll have someone send some food over."

Jin Dongdong was hungry, and Li Zhixuan hadn't eaten dinner either. Huang Lizhi and Zhao Meiyan hadn't eaten much at dinner either, so the four of them had a late-night snack together.

After they finished eating, Huang Lizhi and Zhao Meiyan went to sleep in the next room, while Li Zhixuan slept on the hospital bed with Jin Dongtian in his arms.

Jin Dongtian said she wasn't sleepy anymore, but she fell asleep soon after lying down. Li Zhixuan, however, couldn't sleep.

Previously, Li Zhixuan asked Jin Junxian to find a fortune teller with some skill to come to the hospital to treat Jin Dongtian, but the fortune teller did not come. He only said that the benefactor had offended the gods and suffered some punishment, and would be fine tomorrow.

One could assume that "tomorrow" meant after dawn, but Jin Dongtian woke up just after midnight.

Once it's past midnight, it's "tomorrow".

Is this fortune teller really that accurate?
To be honest, Li Zhixuan couldn't say that there was absolutely no supernatural power in the world, but this fortune teller was just too accurate.
Would someone with such great abilities need to open a fortune-telling shop to make money? They would have been invited away as a national advisor long ago.

Even if the government doesn't need him, the tycoons won't let him go.

If Lee Jung-hyun knew that there was a fortune teller in Seoul who was particularly accurate in predicting fortunes and could foretell good and bad luck, he would definitely invite this fortune teller home to worship him.

So this isn't normal. Something's fishy!

But if this was indeed orchestrated by someone, what was their purpose?

If I believe everything this fortune teller says from now on, could others use him to harm me? Is this the mastermind's goal?
It's very possible! We must be on guard!
This fortune teller first accurately predicted that Li Zhixuan would not choose July 7th as the official founding date of Xingji Entertainment Group, and then she accurately predicted that Jin Dong would be fine the next day.

Normally, wouldn't Li Zhixuan go to visit this fortune teller as soon as it gets light?

But Li Zhixuan refused to go; he wanted to see if any more "supernatural events" would happen around him.

After resting at home for two days, Kim Dong-won went to Busan with Lee Chi-heon and Lim Yoon-ah. Also traveling with them were Park Hyo-min, who was also from Busan, as well as Cho Mi-yeon, Park Ji-yeon, and Park So-yeon, who had nothing else to do.

After arriving in Busan, they first went to the hotel to eat something, then took a short nap before splitting up to do their own thing.

Li Zhixuan accompanied Lin Yoona to the Haedong Dragon Palace Temple to worship the Guanyin Buddha. Meanwhile, Kim Dong-won, Park Hyo-min, Zhao Mei-yeon, Park Ji-yeon, and Park So-yeon went out to play in the streets.

It wasn't that Jin Dongtian and the others didn't want to accompany Lin Yoona to the temple, but Li Zhixuan felt that too many people would attract too much attention, and it would be troublesome if tourists recognized them, so he didn't let them come along.

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is located on a mountain or a reef off the coast of Busan. In any case, it is a temple built on a mountain next to a reef.

To enter the temple, you have to climb a stone path, and once inside, there are steps and mountain paths.

For most people, this wouldn't be a big deal. But Yoona was eight months pregnant; how could she climb such a mountain?
If she can't do it herself, then Li Zhixuan and the bodyguards will have to help.

Get a sedan chair and carry her inside!
After carefully carrying her to the Guanyin Buddha statue, Li Zhixuan and Lin Yun'er prayed to the Buddha with great sincerity and then donated some money for incense in the main hall.

After donating the money, they were about to leave when an old monk with white eyebrows and beard, a compassionate face, and wearing a gray robe suddenly appeared before them, put his hands together, bowed, and said, "Welcome to our humble temple, both of you benefactors, for visiting us again?"

When Li Zhixuan and his friends last visited Haidong Longgong Temple, the main hall was closed, so this was the first time for both Li Zhixuan and Lin Yun'er, and also the first time they had ever met this old monk.

The two exchanged a glance, both confirming they had never seen the old monk before. Li Zhixuan then politely asked, "Master, have you seen us before?"

The old monk chuckled, bowed slightly to Li Zhixuan, and said with emotion, "I will never forget the scene of the clouds and fog dissipating and the Guanyin Buddha shining with golden light after your bow."

As he spoke, the old monk looked at Lin Yoona, then put his hands together and bowed to her solemnly, saying, "The two children in this lady's womb are no ordinary people. Congratulations to the two benefactors for having descendants."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan and his companion were overjoyed and quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, Master."

"Please don't stand on ceremony, gentlemen. The mountain path is rugged and steep, so please proceed with caution."

Upon hearing this, Lim Yoona seemed somewhat disappointed and quickly said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

"The donor is very polite."

After bowing to the two of them again, the old monk turned and left.

The couple politely returned the greeting and then left the main hall.

Once outside, Lim Yoona immediately looked at her man with a puzzled expression: "What did that master mean? First he said our babies are no ordinary people, then he said the mountain road is rugged and steep. Was he implying that our babies' growth process would be somewhat tortuous before they could achieve great things?"

“You’re overthinking it.” Li Zhixuan said with a wry smile, “When people say our child is no ordinary person, it’s just a lucky saying. We come to their temple to offer incense, so isn’t it only right that they say a few nice things to us? That’s called providing emotional value, and that’s how they make money.”

Yoona didn't believe it and retorted, "But he knows I'm carrying twins."

"With such a big belly, anyone with a little knowledge can easily guess that you're carrying twins."

"So he was referring to the rugged and steep mountain roads?"

"This is just stating a fact: the mountain road is indeed rugged and steep."

"Uh... okay, I thought I'd run into some amazing master."

Im Yoona was immediately disappointed, and her mood became somewhat low.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan quickly comforted her, saying, "There aren't that many masters in this world. Most so-called masters are just charlatans. What our children will become depends mainly on how we raise them. There are no born saints."

Yoona nodded and said seriously, "You're right, but I really did see Guanyin wink at me last time."

Li Zhixuan immediately gave his wife two thumbs up: "This means you are blessed by Guanyin, so you will definitely be able to give birth to two safe and healthy babies."

“Yes!” Yoona nodded in strong agreement.

This is similar to the idea that a twitching left eye signifies wealth, while a twitching right eye is an involuntary, intermittent spasmodic twitch caused by the orbicularis oculi muscle and facial nerve controlled by the brain.

Whether Guanyin exists or not is not important at all. As long as Lim Yoona feels that she does exist and is happy about it, that's enough.

Where shall we go for fun later?

"Let's go to the beach and enjoy the tranquility of summer."

"You can feel tranquility at the beach in summer? Are you sure?"

"Couldn't you find a less crowded beach?"

"okay!"
