Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 509 Should the "Mother's Status Through Her Son" plan be implemented?

Lee Soon-kyu's idea was simple.

If you've done it, just admit it. You've gone to such lengths; it would be going too far to keep it a secret any longer.

What she said to Chen Yan in the car just now was just a joke, meant to betray him.

Hmph, that guy just made her drink milk that she doesn't usually like.
Her plan was actually to come back and find an opportunity to tell Kim Tae-yeon and the others about it.

Of course, she was very tactful in her words. She mentioned that she had stayed with Chen Yan last night, intending to hint at it rather than blurting out, "I slept with Chen Yan last night."

If that's really the case, then what's the difference between that and just going straight for those three people and unleashing your ultimate attack?

To her surprise, the three of them, including Kim Tae-yeon, simply blinked upon hearing her words, and then...
And then there were no other extra expressions.

"Oh, is there anything else?"

Kim Tae-yeon's tone was perfectly normal.

Lee Soon-kyu was a little confused: "No, I meant I stayed with Xiaoyan last night."

"Unnie, we all know about this. There was thunder last night, and Chen Yan went to take care of you. It's normal for you two to live together."

As Yoona took boxes of breakfast out of the packaging, she replied with a normal expression.

Jessica Jung, who had already sat down next to him, couldn't help but yawn again.

"Taeyeon, Sunkyu is done talking. Go and wake up the others for breakfast."

"not me."

The shells that were expected to be quite lethal turned out to be duds, which Lee Soon-kyu found hard to accept.

She was about to explain further, saying that she and Chen Yan had slept in the same bed last night, but the words caught in her throat as she realized what she had said.

"Wait, did Xiaoyan already tell you about this?"

Jessica Jung unpacked the disposable chopsticks, put a piece of French bread into her mouth, and nodded.

"Yes, around 1 a.m. last night, we all received a message from Xiaoyan saying that he wanted to stay at your place tonight."

Around 1 a.m. last night
Lee Soon-kyu suddenly opened his eyes slightly wider.

Could it have been when Xiaoyan went to the bathroom and took a shower before going to bed last night?

So at that time, did he secretly send messages to Taeyeon and the others in the bathroom?

Having figured everything out, she gritted her teeth.

Damn it, this bastard has betrayed me.

It turns out he had already informed Taeyeon and the others, which explains why he was chatting so enthusiastically with her in the car earlier.

So you were just playing along with my act, weren't you?

Secretly making a mental note of Chen Yan's name, Lee Soon-kyu snapped out of her reverie, glanced at Kim Tae-yeon and the others, and pursed her lips.

"Tch, this is boring. I was actually thinking of complaining to you guys."

Yoona sat down opposite her and smiled, "Unnie, Chen Yan definitely wouldn't hide something like this from us."

Lee Soon-kyu puffed out his cheeks and didn't emphasize again that he and Chen Yan had slept in the same bed the night before.

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah are both shrewd people. They can deduce a lot from the fact that the man suddenly messaged them in the middle of the night saying that he wanted to stay at their house.

As for Jessica Jung, she can ask Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah.

Some things are better left unsaid, as a sign of respect for each other.

Now she's more curious about when Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah noticed that something was off between her and Chen Yan.

So she asked directly, "When did you realize that something was off between Xiaoyan and me?"

Lin Yoona took a sip of porridge, looked up at her, and blinked her beautiful doe eyes twice.

“It started when Unnie mentioned on my birthday that you had ginger milk curd at home.”

"That's it? It's just going out for a late-night snack, what's there to be suspicious about?"

Yoona shook her finger: "On this matter alone, there's really nothing to doubt. But Taeyeon unnie and I have been observing you guys. Although unnie wanted to hide it, Chen Yan didn't want to hide it from us. We know our man well, so we quickly realized something was wrong."

As she spoke, she glanced at the unnie's chest, then scooped up a spoonful of porridge: "Starting from a certain point in time, Chen Yan has been looking at the unnie's chest much more often."

Lee Soon-kyu opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.

Damn, this bastard doesn't hide his thoughts at all, does he?

What kind of scumbag are you?

Suddenly, a hand landed on her shoulder.

She turned her head and saw Kim Tae-yeon looking at her with a strange smile, glancing at her legs.

"Sun-kyu, you can still practice dancing later, right?"

Lee Soon-kyu could tell from that smile that the little girl was acting up again, so she slapped her hand away in an annoyance.

"Go away, Xiaoyan and I didn't take the lower route."

Since Kim Tae-yeon asked the question herself, her answer wouldn't be considered an overreaction.

Upon hearing this, even Jessica Jung, who had been engrossed in eating her porridge, stopped what she was doing and looked at her with some surprise.

Lee Soon-kyu pouted slightly: "It's not safe at home without an umbrella, so it's better if you or Yoona do it first."

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah were slightly taken aback, then looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

That's right, Sunny unnie is really on point.

Because of what you said, we're canceling our prank plan.

What Lee Soon-kyu didn't know was that the reason Chen Yan was so cooperative with her in the car was because Kim Tae-yeon had sent him a message that morning.

[Xiaoyan, don't tell Sunkyu that we already know about you two. Yoona and I have other plans.]

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah's idea was to keep Lee Soon-kyu in the dark for the time being and prank her to get revenge for keeping it from them.

But since Lee Soon-kyu just said something so sensible, they decided to let it go.

But what none of the three noticed was that after Lee Soon-kyu finished speaking, Jessica Jung subconsciously lowered her head, her eyes flickering.

Even Sun-kyu said that, so should I still carry out my plan to gain status through my son? It seems a bit dangerous.

Lee Soon-kyu was unaware that her words had saved her from disaster and served as a warning to Jung Si.

She looked at Kim Tae-yeon and said, "Now that we've finished talking, Tae-yeon, go and wake them up."

"Row."

Kim Tae-yeon smiled and walked towards the nearest Tiffany room. Im Yoon-a lowered her head and continued eating her breakfast.

"Adu"

The phone on the table beeped with a message notification, and Lee Soon-kyu picked it up and glanced at it.

Xiaoyan: Okay, I will definitely pay the fare on time.

Slightly annoyed, Lee Soon-kyu glanced at the message she had just sent to the man reminding him not to forget to pay the parking fee, and immediately typed a reply.

Lee Sunny: I take back what I said above. I won't take it back anymore. You bastard, how dare you betray me? Taeyeon and the others know everything.

The message was read instantly, and Chen Yan's reply popped up a few seconds later.

Xiaoyan: Noona, I only told Taeyeon and Noona that I was staying at your house last night, I didn't tell them anything else.

Li Sunny: What's the difference between what you said and what you said? I don't care, I'm refusing to accept fares from now on.

Xiaoyan: Some things are beyond your control, Nuna, I choose to pay the fee by force.

The two exchanged flirtatious banter on their phones for a while, eventually ending the negotiation with the agreement that the fare would be paid at least once a week.

Lee Soon-kyu glanced at the nickname "Xiao Yan," clicked on Chen Yan's profile picture, and deleted the original nickname.

After thinking for a moment, her gaze unconsciously swept over her chest. She raised an eyebrow, tapped her fingers on the virtual keyboard, and a new nickname appeared.

Strawberry wholesaler

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yan, sitting in the JYP office, glanced at his newly set nickname, "Generous Strawberry Buyer," smiled with satisfaction, and then put down his phone.

As for the older woman's accusations of betrayal, he denied them.

You should know that Chen, that scumbag, got to where he is today by relying on just six words.

Sincerity, sincerity, and damn sincerity!

It was only right that he informed Kim Tae-yeon and the others last night.

Kim Tae-yeon and the others gave him a lot of freedom, basically allowing him to act first and ask for permission later.

But the ability to act first and report later does not mean that it is acceptable not to report at all.

That's why the notification message came about.

Besides, he didn't know he and Lee Soon-kyu would have a deeper conversation when he sent the message.

I sent the message because I felt that staying out late at night was a bit of a rip-off, so I thought I'd send a message to let Kim Tae-yeon and the others know.

Moreover, he originally just thought that Lee Soon-kyu's older sister might be scared at night, so he thoughtfully stayed to keep her company, without any other intentions.

But who would have thought that the older sister would dare to provoke him in such a situation?

If he doesn't take some action, where will he put his face as a scumbag?

So he decisively took action and got to know that woman truly heart to heart.

Recalling the events of last night in his mind, Chen Yan couldn't help but grin.

After a moment, he snapped out of his thoughts, turned on his computer, and began his workday.

As usual, I first opened Melon and glanced at the music chart rankings.

There are currently four songs on the chart at the same time.

The rankings of "Something" and "nonono" have dropped significantly on the charts, but this is normal, considering that both songs were released more than a month ago.

Even so, both songs still ranked relatively high on the charts.

"nonono" ranked within the top 20 on all the charts, while "something" ranked within the top 30.

The fact that it still maintains such a ranking more than a month after its release is partly due to Chen Yan's personal popularity and buzz.

Because of the songs "First Wisdom Tooth" and "Roar," online discussions about Chen Yan have been ongoing for the past few days.

On the music charts, "First Wisdom Tooth" and "Roar" are still neck and neck, taking turns sitting at the top spot from time to time.

Even if they aren't at the top of the charts, neither song has ever fallen out of the top five since their release.

Furthermore, on MBC's "Show Champion" last Wednesday, f(x) successfully took over first place from Apink, winning their first win of this comeback.

This phenomenon sparked heated discussions among netizens that very evening.

Because netizens had previously predicted that f(x) would take the first place trophy from Apink, just as Apink had previously taken the first place trophy from Girl's Day.

Now that this prediction has actually happened, everyone feels a sense of excitement and participation, more or less, from the success of the prediction.

f(x) lived up to the hype, winning first place on Mnet's M! Countdown, KBS's Music Bank, MBC's Music Core, and SBS's Inkigayo, sweeping all the music show awards for the week.

Seeing the phenomenal success of "First Wisdom Tooth," many netizens cheered and couldn't help but wonder how "Growl" would fare on music charts.

"Roar" has been released for a week, and starting this Wednesday, which is the day after tomorrow, the music show's performance will be officially included in the rankings.

With the album's title track selling 16 copies in its first week, netizens' expectations have already been raised.

The current trending topic "[Predicted performance of 'Growl']" at number 8 on the hot trending chart is the best proof of this.

While SM Entertainment's PR department undoubtedly played a significant role in this success, the album "Growl" did indeed garner considerable attention from the industry and the public after achieving 16 copies sold in its first week.

Clicking into the entry, Chen Yan looked at the comments below.

I'm making a bold prediction: EXO will soon take the number one spot from f(x), completing another change of leadership within the EXO dynasty.

The Tran Dynasty?

Upon seeing this term, Chen Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

Read on for the comments below.

[Upstairs, is this even a prediction? I bet an iced Americano that EXO will definitely take the number one spot from f(x) very soon.]

EXO's album sales are phenomenal, and their digital music sales are also impressive. It's hard to imagine them not getting a number one spot.

The key question now is how many number one spots "Growl" can achieve. With such impressive album sales, it should at least get seven or eight, right?

I bet two iced Americanos that there will be at least eight.

[If we're talking about who's the most awesome, shouldn't it be PD Chen? Since the end of June, he's truly dominated the music scene.]

Slowly sliding the mouse, Chen Yan looked at the comments and chuckled softly.

To be honest, he was also quite looking forward to the performance of "Roar" on music charts.

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah only told him about the approximate album sales of "Growl," without mentioning the song's performance on music shows.

It shouldn't be too bad.
