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

Chapter 539 I'm here to advance the progress, not to stop you.
"Didi"

Two seconds later, the door opened under Chen Yan's inexplicably nervous gaze, and a petite figure walked in.

Upon seeing who it was, Chen Yan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The figure walked in, and when it saw Chen Yan standing at the entrance, it paused in surprise.

Just as I was about to greet him, I saw him suddenly breathe a sigh of relief and blink his eyes.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Chen Yan with a half-smile.

"Xiaoyan, you seem a little nervous. What's wrong? Are you hiding someone at home? Is it inconvenient for anyone to know?"

Chen Yan was both amused and exasperated: "No way, what could it be? Is there anything I don't want people to know?"

He was indeed a little nervous just now, because he was afraid that the person who came was Jessica Jung.

Nervousness is instinctive; after all, he did have slightly impure thoughts.

At this moment, Krystal Jung walked over to Chen Yan's side and greeted him when she saw him at the door.

“Sunny unnie”.

"Oh, Soojung."

Now it was Lee Soon-kyu's turn to be stunned.

She really didn't expect Krystal Jung to be here.

Oh, so Xiaoyan was nervous just now because she was afraid the person coming was Sika.

"Nuna, why are you here?"

Lee Soon-kyu changed her shoes and walked into the house: "Oh, I came back to get something. I thought it was still early, and you should be home too, so I came up to stay for a while."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Krystal Jung next to her, a strange smile flashing in her eyes.

Noticing the unnie's gaze, Krystal's eyes instinctively darted away, feeling embarrassed that her thoughts had been seen through.

Chen Yan then explained, "Xiujing and I went to the gym together this afternoon and just got back. I'm about to cook, so Nuna, why don't you eat something with us?"

"Okay."

Lee Soon-kyu smiled and nodded: "Anyway, we have to train tonight, so I'll have a big meal first and then let it digest it later."

"Okay, Noona, you and Soojung go sit in the living room, I'll go cook."

Watching Chen Yan walk into the kitchen, Lee Soon-kyu turned to look at Jung Soo-jung beside her.

He looked at the girl for two seconds, then his smile suddenly widened: "It's a good thing Jessica has a schedule and can't come, otherwise she would probably have gotten really angry."

"Onie~"

Sensing the teasing tone in the unnie's words, Krystal blushed instantly and couldn't help but let out a coquettish sigh.

"Hahahahaha."

Lee Soon-kyu smiled and took the girl's hand, leading her to the sofa.

After sitting down on the sofa, she looked at Krystal Jung and hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Soojung, don't be too hasty. Jessica won't accept this so quickly. She's still in a wavering phase. If it were her who came earlier and saw you suddenly appear at Xiaoyan's house, she would have a stress reaction."

Krystal pursed her lips.

After hearing what Lee Soon-kyu said, she realized that she did seem to be a little anxious.

It wasn't that she was eager to marry into the family, but rather that she was eager to make Chen Yan realize that he liked her, but she seemed to have somewhat overlooked Jessica's feelings.

If it had been Jessica instead of Sunny who came in, she probably wouldn't have been able to control her emotions, and she might have really lost control.

As she pondered this, she couldn't help but lower her head, like a child who had done something wrong.

Lee Soon-kyu chuckled at the sight and leaned closer, saying, "I'm not saying you did something wrong, I'm just saying you need to be careful with your approach. You know Jessica, she's the type who responds better to gentle persuasion than force."

“You can’t confront her directly. You have to take it slow and steady. For example, you can come to Xiaoyan’s house now, but you have to tell Xika first in a subtle way that you will be with Xiaoyan today.”

“Going home might upset Jessica. You could just mention meeting up at the gym. That way, Jessica will at least be somewhat prepared.”

Krystal's eyes lit up, she nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Soon-kyu with eager curiosity.

"Unnie, is there any other way?"

Lee Soon-kyu smiled, didn't try to be mysterious, and continued talking to the girl.

For example, if you have the opportunity, you can talk to Jessica about topics related to Chen Yan. Over time, Jessica will be less resistant to hearing about Chen Yan from you.

This is called "boiling a frog in lukewarm water," or you could say it's desensitization therapy.

Now that Jessica Jung has made a decision to some extent, she can no longer resort to drastic measures like before.

We need to switch to gentler methods; using strong medicine might backfire.

Like a taut string, you need to loosen it a little; if you keep it taut all the time, it will eventually break.

The two chatted for a while in the living room, and finally, Krystal Jung looked at her unnie with an excited and grateful expression, as if she had been filled with knowledge.

"Okay, thank you, unnie, I understand."

Lee Soon-kyu smiled and patted her hand: "Think about it again yourself. I'll go to the kitchen to get a glass of water."

"it is good."

Watching the unnie walk towards the kitchen, Krystal Jung's beautiful eyes sparkled.

It wasn't just because she received guidance from Lee Soon-kyu that she became more confident in winning over Jessica later.

It was also because she knew the attitudes of these unnies; the unnies in the family clearly supported her joining the family, and would even help her when appropriate.

In this way, the only real obstacle left is Jessica.

hum!

The girl couldn't help but wrinkle her upturned nose and hummed twice.

Not counting Bae Suzy who hasn't reached base yet, the situation is clearly 6 vs 1, and the advantage is on my side!
Stop it, Jessica. Your family is full of Yan Jing fans.

Lee Soon-kyu walked to the kitchen door and saw Chen Yan skillfully chopping vegetables on the cutting board.

Her eyes darted around, and she pushed open the door and went inside.

Hearing the noise, Chen Yan turned his head.

Lee Soon-kyu smiled at him and said, "Let me pour you a glass of water."

"okay."

He walked to the other side, skillfully picked up a cup, and poured a glass of water for himself and Jung Soo-jung.

Lee Soon-kyu didn't leave the kitchen immediately. Instead, she took her glass of water, walked over to Chen Yan, and leaned against the counter, watching him.

Seeing this, Chen Yan stopped what he was doing and looked at her in confusion: "What's wrong, Nuna?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to see you, is that not allowed?"

Chen Yan smiled, his eyes sweeping over the woman's broad chest: "It costs money."

Lee Soon-kyu noticed his gaze and gave him a reproachful look.

"You charge a fee? I've never seen you or Taeyeon charge a fee."

"Taeyeon and Noona have them too, just in different positions."

Chen Yan blinked and immediately began to speak.

"Pooh!"

Lee Soon-kyu spat, put down her water glass, and walked over to him.

Looking up, she noticed the noticeable height difference and said irritably, "Lower your head."

Chen Yan smiled and turned around, obediently lowering his head, his eyes fixed on the older sister.

The next second, a soft touch came from my lips, along with a sweet scent.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Lee Soon-kyu immediately looked down.

A large hand withdrew somewhat reluctantly. She raised her head, pursed her moist lips, and looked at him with a hint of reproach.

"You're charging illegally, Xiaoyan."

Chen Yan smiled back: "It just mischievously ran over there on its own. I'll discipline it properly, Nuna."

Listening to him spout nonsense with such a straight face, Lee Soon-kyu inwardly spat again, but on the surface he smiled and said:

"Are you satisfied with the payment, Xiaoyan?"

"Of course I'm satisfied." "Hmm, since you charged illegally just now, shouldn't you give me some compensation?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan's eyes darted around, and he was about to lower his head.

Lee Soon-kyu, however, stuck his index finger to his lips.

"I don't want this."

A sly smile flickered in her eyes as she asked with a grin, "Can you tell me what your feelings are for Soojung?"

"Forehead"

Chen Yan was momentarily stunned, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, before he smiled somewhat awkwardly:

"What? What are my feelings for Soojung? What do you mean, noona?"

Lee Soon-kyu pouted; from his reaction, she already knew the answer.

She lightly tapped the man's lips twice with her index finger, but did not answer Chen Yan's question.

"Anyway, as long as you can handle Jessica's side, Taeyeon and I have no objections."

After saying that, she removed Chen Yan's hand from her waist, picked up the glass of water she had poured for herself and Jung Soo-jung, and turned to walk out of the kitchen.

Reaching the door, Lee Soon-kyu paused, turned to Chen Yan, who was still standing there somewhat dazed, winked, and smiled:
"Good luck, Xiaoyan!"

Some things shouldn't be said too explicitly. If they are, Xiaoyan might act recklessly, and it wouldn't be good if she provoked Xika.

Moreover, Sika's side probably also needs Xiaoyan's stance.

If things were explained clearly, Xiaoyan would accept it too readily, while Xika might find it even harder to accept.

Why is it that I've been agonizing over this for so long while you're completely unaffected?

So, that's all the advice she could give; the rest is up to Xiaoyan's own understanding.

Li Shungui left without a trace after accomplishing his task, concealing his merits and fame.

Chen Yan stood there for a while before he came to his senses. He frowned and muttered, "Was I that obvious? They all noticed? But I don't think I ever showed them that I liked Xiujing."

After a moment, he sighed again, glanced at the kitchen doorway, and smiled through his tears.

It's precisely because I felt I couldn't handle Shikanuna that I haven't taken any action, Nuna.

But Lee Soon-kyu's older sister just told me to keep going, which seems to mean she's not only not against me, but is actually encouraging me.

This doesn't make sense. Don't they know that if they mess with Soojung, things might get out of control on Jessica's side, and things might fall apart at home?

Chen Yan frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Here's some water for you, Soojung."

"Thank you, Ernie."

Reaching out to take the water from Lee Soon-kyu, Jung Soo-jung thanked him and asked with some curiosity:

"Unnie, what did you and Chen Yan talk about in the kitchen?"

This unnie has been gone for almost ten minutes; she definitely couldn't have just gone to get some water.

Lee Soon-kyu sat down next to her, glanced at her, and then turned back to the television.

"It's nothing, I just chatted with Xiaoyan for a bit and we kissed."

"what?"

Krystal Jung was a little dumbfounded.

She never expected that this "unnie" would kiss Chen Yan in the kitchen, and even say it so directly.

Lee Soon-kyu turned to look at her and smiled, "Isn't it normal for couples to kiss? You have to get used to this kind of thing, there are so many people in the family."

"Okay, I get it now."

Krystal Jung nodded, her pretty face slightly flushed.

It's not that she can't accept it; if she really couldn't accept it, she would have quit long ago.

Moreover, when Lee Ji-eun, that unnie, kissed Chen Yan in front of her last time, she didn't feel anything.

It's just that what Lee Soon-kyu said was too sudden and direct, and she didn't quite react yet.

And
Krystal glanced at Soon-kyu's chest, which was slightly damp, with her five fingers clearly visible.

A kiss is fine, but why did you have to hit me?

The girl's blush deepened, and she looked down at her chest.

A certain hand also visited here this afternoon.

but
How dare fireflies compete with the bright moon?

Ugh! You're so useless!

"But, Soojung."

Lee Soon-kyu suddenly spoke again.

"what?"

"Does Xiaoyan not know that you like him yet?"

Krystal pursed her lips and nodded: "Yeah, I'm afraid if he finds out, he might deliberately avoid me because of Jessica."

"You don't have to say it directly. Give Xiaoyan a more obvious hint and let him figure it out himself."

Lee Soon-kyu turned to look at her and said meaningfully, "Sometimes, when you understand each other's feelings, you can avoid a lot of misunderstandings and even work together to solve a lot of problems."

"Oh, I see, unnie."

After agreeing, Krystal Jung frowned slightly, her face showing a thoughtful expression.

Seeing this, Lee Soon-kyu smiled, didn't disturb her, and turned back to watch TV.

Both of them have their own concerns and dare not speak frankly. If they continue to probe like this, who knows how long they will have to keep doing it?

She needs to push things forward a bit so that the family can settle down sooner, and then she can feel at ease.

"You can eat now."

Nearly an hour later, Chen Yan's voice came from the kitchen.

"Okay, here I come~"

After responding, Lee Soon-kyu and Jung Soo-jung got up and walked towards the restaurant.

They helped bring out the dishes and set out bowls and chopsticks, and the three of them quickly sat down.

"Hmm~"

Lee Soon-kyu picked up a piece of stir-fried lettuce and put it in her mouth, nodding involuntarily: "Delicious."

Looking at the table full of food, Krystal Jung across from him couldn't be happier with her joy.

Because she ordered all the dishes on the table, and she and Chen Yan bought the ingredients together at the supermarket.

The three of them enjoyed their dinner in a harmonious atmosphere.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Lee Soon-kyu subconsciously glanced around, then suddenly remembered something, paused slightly, and turned to look at Chen Yan.

"Xiaoyan, you renewed your lease for this apartment for another year, right?"

Chen Yan nodded: "Yes."

Kim Tae-yeon helped him rent this house last year when he graduated from university. The rental period started in June and lasted for a year.

It's almost October now, and he renewed his lease with the landlord for another year at the end of June.

"However, I plan to buy a house at the end of the year, and then you can have your own room. I estimate that you will need to renovate it according to your own ideas. Taking that time into account, you can move in around April next year, which will be around the same time as your lease here expires."

Lee Soon-kyu nodded.

She knew that Chen Yan had made a lot of money just from "Roar," and that he had mentioned the plan to buy a house ahead of schedule to them before.

She rented her own apartment on the 9th floor in April of this year, so the timing is just right; she can move out next year.

Listening to their conversation, Krystal Jung lowered her head slightly, and her chewing movements slowed down a bit.

I'm planning to buy a house by the end of the year.

She remembered that Chen Yan had mentioned at Lin Yoona's birthday party that he wanted to buy a big house that could accommodate eight or nine people.

There should be one of her rooms in this house, right?

Yes! We absolutely must have it!
