Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 193 My sister is your sister
Chen Shijun's ruthless felling of the tree surprised An'an, but he had no reason to lie to her. Thinking of this, she even felt sorry for the captain.

"Stop guessing, let's eat. Will our sensible An'an forgive Xiao Yuan?"

The man felt that Xiaoyuan had done something very wrong. Although it hadn't reached the point of breaking the trust, it was perfectly normal for him to have some reservations.

"Oppa, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm her older sister. How could I possibly have a conflict with her over something like this? It would sound terrible if word got out."

The Starship Twin Towers are in such a mess because of a man; this kind of thing is really going to have explosive effects, An An thinks it's terrifying.

"Compared to her older sister, she has been spoiled since she was a child and is used to being the most pampered one. Sometimes, An An has to be more tolerant of her!"

Xiaoyuan is the younger sister at home and also the younger sister in the group. Although she often acts like an adult now, it is impossible to change the inertia of so many years in a short time.

"I don't understand, oppa is such a gentle man, why is Minju unnie so scared?"

An An thought to herself, although a person may not be as simple as he seems, based on her interactions with him, Chen Shijun is definitely not a scary man.

Furthermore, Minju denied Chen Shijun's ulterior motives towards her, which only made things more confusing. They could only cautiously ask the man for his opinion on Minju.

“Minju-xi… She is very beautiful and has a great personality. She is somewhat lacking in skills, but we will help her improve together.”

Chen Shijun's opening remarks were full of official jargon and platitudes, which was clearly not what An An wanted to hear. It was common knowledge among all the fans that he was terrible at both singing and dancing, and the assessment that he was just a pretty face was also quite objective.

“Oppa is so dignified. Minju unnie was so nervous last time. After we got back, she kept saying that oppa was too intimidating.”

The big dog's words made the man chuckle. Eunhye said that Kim Minju was a girl who appeared gentle on the outside but was actually strong on the inside, and that she was a soft girl at heart. She wondered if women were accurate in judging other women.

"Does Minju see me that way? Maybe he doesn't understand me. Sometimes, having a serious face can lead to misunderstandings."

He didn't know the girl knew about his affair with her captain; he simply thought she had frightened him at the time, which was quite normal. Secretary Li had once told him he should smile more, otherwise, when he was expressionless and lost in thought, he looked as terrifying as a cold-blooded animal.

It just so happens that he was also born in the Year of the Snake, but Chen Shijun scoffed at such remarks. Could Liu Zhimin, who was born in the Year of the Dragon, possibly fly? If anyone should fly, it would be him who made her fly.

Dinner ended in a slightly complicated atmosphere. The two of them pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out why Minju was afraid of Chen Shijun. In the end, they could only laugh at each other.

When Chen Shijun signed the bill, he didn't even glance at the amount. Although this young girl wanted to treat him to dinner, he couldn't really let her pay.

As he got up, Chen Shijun very naturally picked up her coat and draped it over An Gougou's shoulders. This was actually a habitual action for men. Even without any flirtatious intentions, his fingers still brushed against the back of her neck and shoulders.

"Let's go, I'll see you off."

Seeing that this girl was probably out of her mind, Chen Shijun chuckled and pushed her into the passenger seat of the car. The small space was filled with the pleasant scent of aromatherapy.

An'an stared nervously at the fleeting night view outside the window, her fingers gripping the seatbelt tightly, as if trying to slow the car down.

"I feel like I'm doing something wrong, I feel so sorry for Wonyoung! That girl will definitely kill me tonight if she finds out I secretly ate with oppa."

Although Yuan Ying had deceived her first, An An wasn't completely indifferent. However, she knew that the jealous man was extremely possessive, and if he found out, he would definitely cause a scene for a while.

"Haha! Youzhen, you're really funny. Xiaoyuan isn't like that at all. She'll only be angry for a little while."

No matter who tells him what Won-young is like, Chen Shijun always thinks it's an exaggeration. He thinks he knows what kind of girl she is, and he's not that petty. "Even so, I'm very happy today. I ate some delicious food, and I even had the trouble of having oppa bring it back for me."

The car didn't drive directly to the dormitory building, but stopped on a quiet side of the road a block away. An'an said she was going to buy something before going back, so Chen Shijun turned off the engine.

The streetlights cast dappled shadows through the car window, and the little girl's warm smile before she put on her mask was very inspiring.

"Oppa is very happy today. You know, having meetings and socializing with those company executives is nothing compared to having a meal with the beautiful An-an."

Chen Shijun stated that he was telling the truth, and that he had just held a new meeting with that fat pig and some senior executives today. He found Fang Shihe's ambivalent nature and his tendency to prioritize personal gain over important matters made him increasingly contemptuous of him.

"Oppa! I admire you a lot, but I don't want to make Wonyoung angry."

This contrast is indeed quite novel; at least Chen Shijun has never seen this girl act coy in front of the camera before.

"I'm so honored. An'an, please take good care of your sister. My sister is your sister too. Please be well, okay?"

Chen Shijun suddenly reached out and gently straightened the hat on her head, then casually stroked her head. Even through the fabric of the hat, the girl felt her face turning red.

"Be careful, pretty girls can easily run into trouble when they're alone at night. Go back to your dorm after you've finished shopping."

The man finally withdrew his hand, resuming his calm and gentle tone, which made An'an nod like a chick pecking at rice. Then, without looking back, she quickly walked into the block.

Actually, the girl didn't buy anything. It wasn't until she rushed into the dormitory and leaned against the cold mirror that she started to gasp for breath.

Her flushed cheeks, large, watery eyes, and slightly messy hair hidden under her hat were reflected in the elevator mirror, revealing just how unsettled Yoojin was.

"Xiaoyuan, of course I'll take care of you. You're my good little sister. Oppa said his sister is my sister too!"

Yu-jin even felt a sense of what Chen Shi-jun meant when he said they were a family. Perhaps she had stepped into a dream, or perhaps the situation was far more complicated than she had imagined.

"You're back? I thought you went home today."

As soon as An'an opened the bedroom door, she saw Minju holding a glass of water, having made a drink of some unknown substance. An'an, unsure if her face was flushed, turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly.

Chen Shijun joked that she wasn't actually wrong; although she hadn't been drinking, she felt a bit drunk, which led her to do some things that were very different from her usual behavior.

However, the older woman in front of her was a smart woman. She could sense the difference in some details. In order to disrupt her judgment, An'an chose to hug her to tactically interfere.

"What are you doing! My water is spilling on the bed! I won't have anywhere to sleep tonight!"

Minju felt that she had given a terrible answer. The big dog's sudden jumping on people always bothered her, but there must be something fishy going on.

She went out looking so beautiful today, and came back so happy, while I only had some suspicions. The subtle change in my expression resulted in this guy pestering me. There's definitely something wrong with this.

She shoved the girl away forcefully, trying to project an air of authority as an older sister, though it was uncertain whether the girl was actually afraid.

"I could tell when you left today that you've really found a boyfriend."
