Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 140 Half-Clothed Woman
"If Xiaoyuan finds out, I'm really finished. Can Director Chen please have some understanding for me?"

Actually, Chen Shijun was quite considerate and even brought some mosquito repellent, otherwise my butt would have suffered tonight, which would have greatly affected my experience.

"How dare you mention Xiaoyuan? When you were seducing her oppa, why didn't you think about how you would explain it to her? Don't you think that's hypocritical?"

Chen Shijun didn't actually intend to humiliate this rather proud woman; he just couldn't help himself sometimes. Besides, this guy always brought up Xiao Yuan's sore spot.

If you really feel you can't explain yourself, you shouldn't have gone down this path. It's too late to say anything now that things have come to this point; it will only make Chen Shijun feel ridiculous.

Consort Eun had no choice but to hold onto a sturdy tree with both hands. Looking back at the man's eyes, the reflection of the moonlight through his glasses filled her with fear, as if he were a villain in a TV drama.

"I'm ashamed! But if Xiaoyuan throws a tantrum, Director Chen will be in trouble too! Please be nice to me, I promise I'll behave from now on."

Just like Minju, Eunbi has always harbored a fear of Chen Shijun, but now she has come to understand where this fear comes from.

Chen Shijun's composure seemed so extreme that it felt out of control, but her desire for wealth and fortune through risk still led her to take that step.

Although the man usually exudes a refined and pleasant aura, in this contrast of being out of control, it seems that everything is just a facade.

Chen Shijun was unaware that his micro-expression management, developed to cope with the risks of information exposure in society, had become ingrained in his entire aura. It wasn't the kind of expressionless face that was like a stoic mask, but rather a very normal one.

However, sometimes being too normal can be unsettling. There are even more advanced micro-expression manipulation techniques. The new generation of elites are no longer satisfied with hiding their emotions, but have turned to actively and specifically designing expressions to manipulate others.

As expected, where there is a market, there will be people who will study it. Chen Shijun knows that this industry is currently experiencing a period of rapid development, although most people don't need it.

“Yuanying is my smartest and most sensible younger sister. She is much smarter and more open-minded than any of you.”

Chen Shijun thought that the girl in front of him was good in every way except that she was a bit too stubborn. But that was also one of the fun things about her. She wanted to be reckless but ended up being hesitant and timid.

"That little girl, Xiaoyuan, isn't very smart to be possessive!"

Consort Eun was slightly displeased with the man's behavior of belittling her by mentioning Yuan Ying. She tried to vent her frustration in a coquettish tone, but the man tightened his grip, causing her face to contort in pain.

What do you mean by being open-minded? It's because you're there to back me up. If I had an oppa of your stature to back me up, would I still be conflicted?

"That's my sister, it's none of your business. What does a child know? Didn't you ever throw tantrums before?"

Chen Shijun's despicable behavior made Consort En cry with anger, but the man showed no remorse whatsoever. She knew this was a warning shot, a way to set some rules for her from the very beginning.

Neither of them felt there was anything wrong with this method. Even Consort Eun felt it was a legitimate right to harm, which emboldened Chen Shijun to consolidate his authority even more.

My legs felt numb as I leaned forward, and I could only use my hands to support myself against the trees in front of me. The trees, which weren't very thick, swayed and leaves kept falling down.

But at this moment, her stubborn nature resurfaced. Although Consort Eun generally understood what she should do, she couldn't help but want to argue back.

"A younger sister? This younger sister is no simple character. Director Chen, are you prepared to deal with her?"

In the darkness, Chen Shijun frowned suddenly, his good mood instantly soured, and the hands supporting Consort En's waist tightened their grip.

Captain Eunbi knew she had misspoke and should have shut her mouth immediately, but somehow she ended up saying what she wanted to say.

"Or does Director Chen plan to watch her grow through her love life and eventually give her a grand wedding?"

She was as bold as she spoke, but as guilty as she felt afterward. Consort Eun thought she must be crazy, and that she might have wasted her time taking this shortcut.

Thinking of this, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Chen Shijun caught her quickly.

"Wow! Is this how you ask for favors?" Although this is in the mountains, it's not so easy to earn money standing up. Chen Shijun didn't expect that it was just a simple fling, but it seems that this woman has gone a bit too far.

Enraged, the other party bit him, and this resistance made Chen Shijun feel that the beating was meaningful. But what did it mean to back down after biting him?

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now. Please forgive me, Director Chen!"

Because her legs were weak, Eunbi squatted on the ground and looked down at the man. Chen Shijun's sinister and terrifying expression under the night sky reminded her of some horror movies.

"You don't need to worry about my affairs. Xiaoyuan is responsible for her own future. What do you mean by saying this?"

He grabbed the woman's collar, making her stand up shakily. She involuntarily backed away, leaning her back against the tree trunk, her eyes red-rimmed as she repeatedly apologized.

“I won’t say it again. Director Chen, please forgive me. Director Chen, you must forgive me.”

Suddenly realizing that his lower body was dangling in the air, Chen Shijun felt as if he were about to pierce a tree. Although he was wearing clothes, his back was still painfully poked by the weight.

"Of course I will forgive you. It's not that I won't forgive you, but I will forgive you slowly, gradually, and in an orderly manner."

The thumb plunged into her mouth without any hesitation. Princess Eunbi was even afraid that the other person's large hand would crush her chin, so she could only try to gain forgiveness with pitiful eyes.

Chen Shijun was not about to let this woman off easily. There was no such thing as a shortcut. Look at what Eun-chae did. You, the younger version, still have a long way to go.

"With such disobedient words, you've already deserved to die in Director Chen's eyes," Chen Shijun said, venting his anger without restraint.

Yuan Ying was naturally unaware that Chen Shijun was venting his anger on her behalf. As the last one in IZONE, the girl was quite satisfied.

Moreover, he had almost completely controlled all the ambitious people, giving them no chance whatsoever, such as this big dog and Kim Chae-won, but he didn't dare to relax for even a moment.

"What's wrong? I've never noticed you being this clingy before."

Caiyuan felt a little embarrassed. Your little scheme was too obvious. Was it really necessary to do this? Did you think I would do something outrageous in such a tight time?

"No, it's just that I feel unnie is very reliable. You must have had a hard day."

Xiao Yuan knew she couldn't hide her little thoughts from others, so she simply stopped trying to conceal them. However, her possessive behavior towards her food made the other older sisters secretly laugh.

"Whoever becomes your sister-in-law in the future is really in trouble. You're just making things difficult for them."

"Yes, yes! No wonder Director Chen is still single. His wife must have been driven away by Xiao Yuan."

"What kind of sister-in-law acts like this! But for Director Chen, I'm willing to endure this torment."

"If I could become Mrs. Chen, I would accept having a wicked sister-in-law like Xiaoyuan."

"You're dreaming. You're probably thinking that once you become Mrs. Chen, you'll start to punish Xiao Yuan! I'm different. I'll listen to the maknae."

"I can listen, and I can hit wherever the maknae points."

Fortunately, the sisters' teasing interrupted the awkward atmosphere, and Yuan Ying breathed a sigh of relief. However, their discussion was getting more and more outrageous.

"How about we ask Director Chen later who's the prettiest in our group besides Xiaoyuan? There's nothing wrong with that kind of question, right?"

Caiyuan's suggestion seemed perfectly reasonable, but it also left all the members speechless, looking at each other as if they were studying the feasibility of the matter.
