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

Li Zhengxian has been a bit worried these past few days.

After so many years of waiting, he finally has grandchildren! And one after another, in just over two months he gained three grandchildren and a granddaughter, which should have been a good thing for Li Zhengxian.

To be honest, Li Zhengxian was so excited the night Kang Kang and Xiao Wu were born that he couldn't sleep.

Upon learning that Zhuangzhuang and An'an had been born with serious illnesses, the old man was so anxious that he barely slept all night.

After finally getting both children better, Li Zhengxian discovered that another problem had arisen.

First of all, Bae Joo-hyun and Jessica Jung have already taken Kang Kang and Xiao Wu back to their mansion in Seongnam City, while Im Yoon-ah is taking Zhuang Zhuang and An An to a nursing home for postpartum care.

As a result, Li Zhengxian has to travel between the two places if he wants to see the children.

Of course, this is not a big deal.

But Kang Kang and Xiao Wu's 100-day celebration is only a little over two weeks away. What should we do? What kind of celebration should we hold?
What should we do for Zhuangzhuang and An'an's 100-day celebration three months from now? What scale should it be?
If this happened in ancient times, it would be much easier to handle. The legitimate son has his own methods, and the illegitimate son has his own methods.

However, since her beloved son is not married, these four children are theoretically considered illegitimate.

Holding a lavish 100-day celebration for an illegitimate child? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?
Even if they are illegitimate children, Kang Kang and Xiao Wu are still Li Zhengxian's eldest and second grandsons, whom he has longed for for many years. It is only right to hold a grand 100-day celebration for them.

However, both Lee Jung-hyun and Kim Bo-young preferred Lim Yoon-ah to be their daughter-in-law.

Zhuangzhuang will be the eldest grandson of the Li family in the future. If Kang Kang and Xiao Wu's 100-day celebration is too big, will it be unfair to the eldest grandson?
The old man was conflicted no matter how he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more conflicted he became.

So Li Zhengxian simply came to the sanatorium, first to see his grandchildren, then pulled Li Zhixuan to the study and asked directly, "Son, who are you planning to marry? Have you thought it through?"

"No," Li Zhixuan replied crisply.

Not yet? Five women are pregnant, three have given birth, you have four children, and you still haven't decided who to marry?

Li Zhengxian grew anxious: "Then how do we calculate these children? Who's the legitimate son? Who's the illegitimate son?"

"Oh dear!" Li Zhixuan was speechless. "You're being too feudal. The Great Korean Empire has been gone for so many years, why are you still doing this? They're all my children, why distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children?"

"This is a rule passed down from our ancestors, and it must have its reasons. If we don't distinguish between嫡子 (legitimate sons) and 庶子 (illegitimate sons), then to whom will the Li family's legacy be passed on in the future?"

"They all share the surname Li, and they're all children of the Li family. Let whoever is suitable take over. Does the heir have to be the legitimate son? Well, the eldest brother is the legitimate eldest son, are you comfortable entrusting the Li family's legacy to him?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengxian was speechless. If the ancient system of primogeniture were strictly followed, then Li Zhixuan would have no chance of inheriting the Li family business.

"What about Kang Kang and Xiao Wu's 100-day celebration? Who should we invite?"

"Just hold it at home and invite close relatives and friends. In a while, we can do the same for Zhuangzhuang and An'an's 100-day celebration. There's no need to make a big fuss."

"Sigh! Okay. You're the father, so I'll listen to you. I'm going to see the baby now."

Li Zhengxian still felt that the current situation was not quite right, but he didn't have any good ideas, so he could only listen to Li Zhixuan.

Lee Jung-hyun went to see his grandchildren, while Lee Chi-hsuan went to spend time with Jeon Bo-ram.

Jeon Boram is thirty years old. Although she is not considered an older pregnant woman, she is the oldest in Lee Chi-hyun's family.

Her due date was still more than a month away, while Bae Joo-hyun gave birth prematurely a month before her due date.

Kang Kang was born prematurely and had jaundice. Zhuang Zhuang and An An were born with neonatal sepsis. Of the four children, three were born with illnesses.

That's an extremely high probability!

So Jeon Boram needs to be taken care of carefully, and hopefully she can give birth to a healthy baby.

That night, Li Zhixuan slept in Quan Baolan's room.

The next day, because it was the weekend, Li Zhixuan didn't go to work.

He spent the morning at the nursing home with Lim Yoon-ah, Jeon Bo-ram, and their two children. After lunch, he went back to his home in Seongnam City.

When he got home, Bae Joo-hyun, Jung Soo-yeon, Park So-yeon, and Park Min-young had just finished dinner and were chatting together.

Seeing her man return, Bae Joo-hyun's face lit up with joy, and she said, "You're back just in time. I was just about to call you."

"what's up?"

"Look at this news."

As she spoke, Bae Joo-hyun handed her phone to Lee Ji-heon. Lee Ji-heon took the phone, sat down next to Bae Joo-hyun, and then put his arm around her while looking at the phone.

The phone screen displayed a news article: a resort on Jeju Island was struggling financially and was up for sale. The resort comprised over a dozen individual villas, which could be purchased as a package or separately.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan turned to Pei Zhuxuan and asked, "You want to buy a house?"

Bae Joo-hyun shook her head: "It's not that I want to, it's that you want to."

"I want to?" Li Zhixuan frowned in confusion, then asked as if he had figured something out, "Which one have you chosen? Or do you prefer this resort? I'll have someone buy it right away."

"Ugh!"

Hearing Li Zhixuan's words, Pei Zhuxuan was happy inside, but on the surface she sighed and said helplessly, "The saying 'pregnancy makes you stupid for three years' refers to pregnant women, not men, right? Why are you acting so silly today?"

"what?"

Li Zhixuan was stunned, then looked to Zheng Xiuyan and the others for help.

In contrast, Jessica Jung and the other two all smiled without saying a word.

Li Zhixuan had no choice but to ask Pei Zhuxuan, "What exactly do you mean?"

Bae Joo-hyun took Lee Chi-heon's hand and gently poked his palm, saying, "You've built a logistics industrial park and a film studio in Jeju Island, which shows how much you value it. In the future, you'll probably start other businesses in Jeju Island, right? In that case, shouldn't we settle down here in Jeju Island? Staying at resorts every time we go isn't very convenient."

Li Zhixuan had previously mentioned to Lin Yoona and Bae Joo-hyun that he would send his children to study in China in the future, but he had never mentioned developing Jeju Island into his own territory to anyone.

Therefore, Lee Chi-hyun was pleasantly surprised by Bae Joo-hyun's current idea.

"How come you're so clever? *kiss*"

Seeing Li Zhixuan kiss Bae Joo-hyun, the women around them were a little jealous.

"Hehe~"

Bae Joo-hyun smiled happily, then said with a hint of smugness, "If I'm not quick-witted, I'm afraid I'll lose favor~"

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Jessica Jung immediately turned to Park Min-young and asked, "Is she talking about me?"

Park Min-young shook her head: "No, who would cricket in front of others? Right?"

The final "right?" was not directed at Bae Joo-hyun, but at Lee Chi-hyun.

Li Zhixuan nodded, then looked at Bae Joo-hyun and said helplessly, "Ms. Big Head, I suggest you make things clearer. Who has fallen out of favor?"

Bae Joo-hyun shook her head: "Not yet, but I need to be vigilant, just in case." "Come on!" Lee Chi-hyun reached out and pinched Bae Joo-hyun's cheek as if punishing her: "It's one thing for others to say this, but you have the nerve to say it? Aren't you afraid of inciting public outrage?"

"That's it!"

Li Zhixuan's words were unanimously agreed upon by Jessica Jung and the other two.

Bae Joo-hyun is one of the two giants. If she is worried about losing favor, then how can the remaining twenty-odd people survive?

Is she worried? She's clearly just showing off!
Bae Joo-hyun was also afraid of provoking public anger, so she obediently leaned against Lee Chi-hyun's chest and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan touched her face and then said to them, "I'll have someone go check out this resort first, and then we'll go and inspect it in person when we have time. If it's suitable, we'll buy it."

Jessica Jung immediately said, "There's no time like the present, let's do it today."

"what?"

"What 'huh'?" Bae Joo-hyun feigned displeasure and gently pinched Lee Chi-heon's ear. "We're heading to Jeju Island now, understand?"

"So sudden?"

Jessica Jung said unhappily, "We haven't gone out to play for almost half a year, and now this is happening all of a sudden?"

"What about the child? Are you taking him or not?"

"Of course I won't bring it!" ×2
Both mothers said in unison that they disagreed with taking the children with them. Bae Joo-hyun added, "Are you crazy? They're only two months old. What would you do with them? They don't know how to play, and you'd have to take care of them. Just let them stay at home."

Bae Joo-hyun loves her son very much, but after more than two months, she really can't stand Kang Kang's tendency to cry so much.

It's one thing for him to cry at home, but when we go out to play, we take Kang Kang with us. He cries wherever he goes. How are we supposed to play then?
Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to bring children.

As for the trip to Jeju Island, Bae Joo-hyun and the others had just discussed it when Li Zhixuan arrived home.

Because of pregnancy and childbirth, Bae Joo-hyun and Jessica Jung have been staying in Seoul for almost half a year since their trip to Jeju Island on the Lantern Festival.

Now that they've had their babies and lost weight, they're ready to go back to work in a few days. Taking advantage of their last few days of vacation, they're thinking of going on a trip and maybe even choosing a location for their future home.

Bae Joo-hyun and the others seemed to be having a lot of fun, but Lee Chi-hyun felt there was really nothing fun to do in this run-down place. He was more concerned about the price of the resort.

It covers an area of ​​over 100,000 square meters and is priced at 150 billion South Korean won. The price is not expensive, but the location is average.

Whether or not to buy it is best to have a professional assess its value before making a decision.

Afterwards, while the women were shopping, Li Zhixuan inspected the logistics park and film studio, and then met up with Pei Zhuxuan before dinner.

At 6 p.m., Li Zhixuan arrived at a barbecue restaurant specializing in Jeju Island's signature black pork and, following the address given to him by Bae Joo-hyun, went to a private room and entered.

"Good heavens! So many people? What are you guys doing here?"

In addition to Bae Joo-hyun and her three friends, Kwon Eun-bi, Kim Dong-won, Mina, Heo Yoon-jin, and Jeon So-yeon were also in the private room.

Seeing Li Zhixuan's surprise, Quan Enbi explained, "We ran into Erin unnie and the others on the street, so we all went shopping and had a meal together."

Nodding, Li Zhixuan sat down between Quan Enbi and Jin Dongtian and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Jeju Island?"

Hearing this, Jin Dongtian curled his lip and said irritably, "What's the point of saying that? Do you even have time to come and play with us?"

Although it's not pleasant to hear, it's the truth.

Li Zhixuan spends all his time with his wife and kids or working; how could he possibly have time for his girlfriends? The day before yesterday, he even had to ask his wives for leave to be with An Youzhen.

In other words, Li Zhixuan's seemingly caring words about his girlfriends were completely meaningless.

But at least his attitude was good, right?

Kim Dong-won, that guy, just started arguing! So rude!
The most crucial thing is that there are so many people in this private room, and Tian Xiaojuan and Xu Yunzhen, two outsiders, are also there!
These women were happy to see Li Zhixuan get roasted, since there aren't many people who dare to publicly confront a scumbag, and this kind of spectacle is rare.

Seeing them snickering, Li Zhixuan looked helplessly at Jin Dongtian: "If you were to act cute towards me, I might have some time."

Upon hearing this, Jin Dongtian immediately wrapped her arms around Li Zhixuan's, rubbing against him while pleading sweetly, "Oppa~~~ Will you go diving in Phuket with me tomorrow? Hmm~~~"

This coquettishness is extremely exaggerated and cloying.

Li Zhixuan immediately got goosebumps, then quickly broke free from Jin Dongtian's embrace, shaking his head and saying, "No, no, there's no time."

"Hmph! I knew you were playing me!"

"So you're deliberately trying to disgust me, right?"

Ugh! I don't want to talk to you anymore!

"Hahaha!"

The women all laughed as they watched the two of them arguing like children.

"Okay, okay, calm down."

He made his girlfriend angry, and he had to coax her himself.

After he had appeased them enough, Li Zhixuan asked, "Which hotel are you staying at?"

Jin Dongtian replied, "We didn't stay in a hotel; we stayed at the resort we stayed at last time."

"We also booked the same resort, so let's stay together tonight."

"Sure, I have no objection."

Jin Dongtian not only had no opinions, she even had a plan for what outfit to wear tonight.

Afterwards, Li Zhixuan looked at Bae Joo-hyun and Jung Soo-yeon, asking for their opinions. After all, Li Zhixuan's main purpose in coming here was to spend time with them.

The two women exchanged a glance, conveying their opinions through their eyes. Then, Bae Joo-hyun smiled and said to Lee Chi-hyun, "Let's live together then. It'll be more lively with more people."

Kim Dong-won, Kwon Eun-bi, and Mina were all quite happy. However, Jeon So-yeon and Heo Yoon-jin were a little embarrassed because they weren't Lee Chi-hyun's women.

While eating, the two of them whispered something to each other. When they were about to leave after finishing their meal, Xu Yunzhen went to Jin Dongtian's side, while Tian Xiaojuan went to find Ming Jingnan.

They meant that they wouldn't live with Li Zhixuan and his family; the two of them would go live somewhere else.

In contrast, Kim Dong-won said, "There's no need. If we're going out together, we can stay together. You won't bother us."

Mina also said to Tian Xiaojuan, "Are you stupid? It's a rare opportunity to get close to the boss and his wife, and you don't cherish it?"

The "boss lady" here does not refer to Mina herself, but to Bae Joo-hyun.

Watching the boss and his wife's retreating figures, Tian Xiaojuan fell into deep thought...
