Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 132 Each with their own ulterior motives (Please subscribe)

"Shijun is already very good, really very good."

The older sister felt that if it weren't for her insatiable greed, Chen Shijun would be considered a top-tier and conscientious investor.

It was this occasional display of pity that fueled her burgeoning ambition, allowing her to gain a more secure foundation in the relationship even if she couldn't achieve her desired outcome.

Even though I've come to know his true nature perfectly over the years, I can still see the brighter side of his humanity. Time will eventually warm even the hardest heart.

"You don't need to flatter me, but you can rest assured that I always like to reward obedient people. Nu is a very obedient person, and I like him very much."

Chen Shijun really enjoyed being taken care of; among all the women, only Zheng Encai could give him this experience.

"I don't know if Yuan Ying has forgiven me. I've been wanting to find an opportunity to go to her book signing or something to apologize to her in person."

The older sister seemed to be in a good mood. She noticed that Chen Shijun had bought a lot of things at home, and she also spotted the gift boxes. After searching online, she realized that they must be for her younger sister's birthday.

Honestly, that one is really favored and has a smooth career. It's true that you have to become famous early. I guess by the time he finishes being an idol, he'll be the age to debut.

The eldest sister debuted at the age of 24. There is a saying that great talents mature late, but in the end it seems that being late did not lead to success. She only ended up entertaining people with her looks.

Although Chen Shijun was extremely extravagant in his spending, she knew it wasn't because he liked her that much, but rather because he always treated submissive women this way.

"Then it's better not to see you. I reckon that girl Yuan Ying doesn't want to see you either, and she might even say something unpleasant."

Sometimes, Chen Shijun didn't want her to be too cautious, to cross the line between obedience and endless flattery. He hoped to help her maintain her composure, otherwise there would be no point in further disciplining her.

"Yes, I'll be careful and won't make things difficult for you, Se-joon."

Even so, Eun-chae could not have known that there would be no shortage of conflicts in the future, and that little girl who was much younger than her would not let her off easily.

August was still very hot, and the members of IZ*ONE finally managed to coordinate a day of time that they could all do as they pleased. Ahn Yu-jin was especially eager for this.

This wasn't just Xiaoyuan's birthday party; it was also part of our own celebration. The sisters brought balloons, air pumps, and all sorts of ingredients early on, all to give their two younger sisters a wonderful birthday.

"I didn't slack off at all. I got up early this morning to get ready. I'm definitely a big contributor!"

With a large group of people, there are bound to be various problems. Currently, the biggest problem seems to be that there aren't enough people in one car.

This time, Captain Eunbi paid for a minibus out of her own pocket, and the entire bus was filled with laughter and chatter.

But Xiaoyuan suddenly felt something was off. Why were all these women dressed so beautifully? Were they celebrating their birthdays or going to a beauty pageant?

How can they work and handle ingredients dressed like that over there? And they've all put on makeup so deliberately.

For example, Kim Chae-won, who's trying to take credit here, is getting up so early really just to pack her luggage? Why does your makeup look so exquisite?

"I remember there was a swimming pool there! I even brought my swimsuit this time, I..."

Faced with Xiaoyuan's somewhat unfriendly gaze, Caiyuan stopped talking and sat down in front of his sister with a chuckle.

"We're well-prepared this time; we're even going to the valley. I even brought my camera." She knew perfectly well that the girl was jealous, so she quickly came over to calm her down. But for the girls, it was a rare time to relax.

As one of the best-preserved ecological areas in the capital region, the stream meanders and the valley scenery is beautifully intertwined with the dappled forest leaves.

Although it's not yet late autumn and you can't see the red maple leaves yet, Chen Shijun's villa is located by the lake, so the beautiful scenery is definitely there.

"My oppa has been very busy and working very hard lately, so please don't bother him when the time comes. You know his work is very important."

Xiaoyuan seemed to want to give a heads-up, but seeing her sisters covering their mouths and laughing, she immediately realized that her thoughts had been seen through, and couldn't help but laugh along with them.

The journey of more than an hour always passes quickly, because we set off early enough that the morning mist on the lake still seemed to have not yet dissipated.

Chen Shijun wasn't completely unprepared; the villa's terrace had been renovated, including pumpkin-shaped balloons and crepe paper wreaths hanging from the eaves, making it look like a very thoughtful arrangement.

There were even colorful light signs and some photos of Xiaoyuan, and of course, An'an was also included, which made the girls exclaim in surprise.

Yuan Ying felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She never expected Chen Shijun to be so thoughtful, even posting his growth trajectory from childhood to adulthood on the corridor.

Chen Shijun was dressed very casually this time, wearing black shorts and a white T-shirt, with big sunglasses on his face. He dressed very simply, but the members felt that he was a modeling freak like his sister.

When everyone came up to greet them, Kim Minju bowed deeply from a distance, clearly showing a different mindset than the other sisters.

Chen Shijun was actually very curious and wanted to ask her why she was so afraid of him, even though she hadn't shown any ill intentions towards him.

Look at Captain Eunbi, she performed very well, very poised and generous. Her makeup today looks very similar to Eunchae's from certain angles, and they both seem to have an older sister vibe.

"Director Chen, thank you so much for your help this time. We'll pack everything up before we leave."

As another protagonist of this birthday party, Yoo-jin and Chen Shi-jun have always been in a state of mutual support and even chatted for a while last night.

But today, the dog has to act like a stranger in front of the man, which is quite strange, though of course, it has to do the same in front of Xiaoyuan.

"Youzhen and Yuanying have known each other for a long time, which is a special fate. I hope that we can celebrate our birthdays together today and that such days will continue for a long time to come."

Chen Shijun also found it very strange. These two were trainees in the same batch, and sometimes the coincidences made him feel like it was mystical.

Not only are their birthdays August 31st and September 1st, but the months of their births also complement each other. This coincidence is seen by fans as a destined match, and even Xiaoyuan's mother once jokingly said that the two are a match made in heaven.

Moreover, the shared memories of becoming famous at a young age are also very precious. From trainees to members of debuted groups, from practice rooms to music show stages, they experienced adolescence together in the high-pressure idol career.

However, this is partly due to company marketing; the two actually have very different personalities and are not as close as fans imagine.

Even so, Chen Shijun felt that the relationship between the two was at least that of "fellow travelers," the kind of relationship that didn't need to be deliberately maintained but could resonate with each other at certain times.

"Oppa! Let me see what gift you gave me! I've been looking forward to it for so long."

While the siblings were showing their deep affection, Youzhen could only appear very reserved. In her heart, she couldn't help but envy Yuanying. This girl had actually become more and more mature, but she could still rely on Chen Shijun like a child.
