The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.

Chapter 126 We can't be together... Yeah, right!

"Clatter!"

When the lights are turned on, Song Ji-hyo's living room is instantly revealed.

A sofa, a coffee table, and a TV—that's all there is to the living room.

"The room is nice!"

Following behind Song Ji-hyo, Lee Ho-young carried a case of beer and a bag of fried chicken, looking around the living room.

"Nonsense, this place is small and old, what's so good about it?"

Despite what Song Ji-hyo said, she was actually very satisfied with the small apartment.

This place was bought with the money she earned from filming GG after her drama "Palace" became a hit.

Although she only paid the down payment and still has a monthly mortgage payment of 100 million, this is, after all, her first house.

Song Ji-hyo kicked off her high heels, put on her own Pororo cartoon slippers, and then squatted down to get Lee Ho-young a pair.

"It's much better than where I lived before—"

Lee Ho-young was halfway through his sentence when he looked down and saw Song Ji-hyo's pear-shaped buttocks. They were so damn beautiful!

Fortunately, Song Ji-hyo quickly turned around and placed a pair of slippers in front of him.

Looking at the slippers that were smaller than his feet, Li Haorong hesitated about how to wear them.

"Forget it, you don't need to wear it!"

Song Ji-hyo gestured for a moment, then finally gave up.

Lee Ho-young had been waiting for her to say something. He quickly avoided looking at Song Ji-hyo, put his socks on the floor, placed the beer and fried chicken on the coffee table, and then plopped down on the sofa.

Hmm? There's something there?

Then, Li Haorong pulled out an ominous sign from under his buttocks!

"Hey, don't touch that!"

Song Ji-hyo blushed and quickly took the ominous sign from Lee Ho-young's hand!

Looking at the trash on the coffee table and the clothes strewn on the sofa, Li Haorong couldn't help but sigh, "I have no problem with you saying you'd come to your new place for drinks, but couldn't you at least tidy up a bit?"

"Oh, who said I wasn't going to tidy up? I just haven't had the time!"

Despite saying that, Song Ji-hyo still quickly stuffed all the clothes on the sofa into the washing machine on the balcony.

However, when she was about to clean up the trash on the coffee table, she saw Li Haorong sweep all the trash on the coffee table into the trash can.

"Oh, don't forget to categorize them!"

Unlike China, countries like Japan and the Korean Peninsula have particularly strict systems for garbage sorting.

If you don't sort your garbage properly, the garbage truck will refuse to accept it when you take it out the next day!

"Alright, never mind that for now. Wash your hands, and we'll clean up together after dinner!"

Seeing that Song Ji-hyo was about to rummage through the trash can with her bare hands, Lee Ho-young quickly stopped her and pulled her towards the bathroom.

As a result, as soon as I entered the bathroom, I saw that it was also hanging there —

"Hey, don't look!"

At this moment, Song Ji-hyo was filled with regret. If she had known it would turn out this badly, she shouldn't have brought Lee Ho-young home!

After all that fuss, the two finally sat down on the sofa and started drinking beer!

As for the fried chicken, neither of them touched it.

"Crunch—Ice-cold beer is definitely the best!"

Taking a big gulp, Song Ji-hyo let out a long breath and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Is it really that big of a deal? It's just a beer. I didn't see you act this much even when we were eating at a Michelin-starred restaurant!"

Li Haorong, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but complain.

"What do you know? I don't like Michelin food, and sake isn't good either!"

I prefer sitting on the street or drinking at home!

Unfortunately, I need to control my weight, so I can't drink it often!

At this point, Song Ji-hyo couldn't help but sigh.

Don't be fooled by actresses' often-created "foodie" personas on TV; it's just a persona.

In fact, most actresses and female idols have to starve themselves to maintain their weight!

Especially for those like Song Ji-hyo who are prone to weight gain, they need to be mindful of their weight at all times.

"Actually, you don't need to work so hard!"

Seeing Song Ji-hyo working so hard every day, Lee Ho-young felt a pang of pity.

He knew that Song Ji-hyo's family was well-off.

Therefore, he didn't understand why she would still work so hard if she had such a way out? She even wanted to take on roles that involved nudity!

"And what about you? Your life is already pretty good, you don't need to work so hard!"

Song Ji-hyo's question caused Lee Ho-young to fall silent for a moment.

Most people around him thought Li Haorong was a winner in life, as if everything was going smoothly for him.

But only Song Ji-hyo could see the weariness in his heart.

Just when Song Ji-hyo thought Lee Ho-young wouldn't speak, she heard him say, "I just want my fate to be independent of others, and I also hope that those around me won't be controlled by others!"

Hearing Lee Ho-young say that, Song Ji-hyo knew how heavy the pressure he was under, and couldn't help but say, "Then my life is much simpler than yours. I just need to earn a lot of money through a job I love!"

You can do it!

Looking back to the future, even I have heard of her name; she must have already achieved her dream.

"You can do it too!"

Song Ji-hyo smiled at Lee Ho-young.

These seemingly casual words and the smile that appeared no different from usual made Li Haorong's heart tighten.

In Lee Ho-young's eyes, at this moment, Song Ji-hyo's face was bathed in a halo of light under the lamplight, making her look absolutely stunning.

Facing Lee Ho-young's gaze, Song Ji-hyo did not flinch, but instead warmly responded, as if they were both lost in each other's deep eyes.

Gradually, their figures under the lamplight overlapped.

Soon after, cheerful singing filled the entire room.

The next day, sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the glass, and Li Haorong slowly opened his eyes.

But then he saw Song Ji-hyo standing very close to him, staring at him.

He was taken aback at first, then recalled the madness of last night.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at you!"

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"If I look at you any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you anymore!"

Hearing this, Li Haorong's heart sank again.

Li Haorong cannot attribute last night's events to alcohol.

He knew Song Ji-hyo's feelings, and even though he had pushed her away once, she still refused to leave.

Under such circumstances, even if Li Haorong were heartless, he would not push her away a second time.

Now that it had already happened, Lee Ho-young would face it. So he put his arm around Song Ji-hyo and said, "Don't worry—"

"Don't worry—"

However, just as he was about to speak, Song Ji-hyo also spoke, and the two of them were momentarily stunned, then said together, "You go first!"

"You go first!"

Seeing this, the two exchanged a smile.

"Let me go first!"

In the end, Song Ji-hyo said, "I know your situation, so don't worry, I won't ask anything of you!"

I'm usually busy filming, so I don't have time to spend with you!

If you ever feel tired, just come and rest here for a while!

Hearing Song Ji-hyo's understanding words, Lee Ho-young felt as if his heart was being twisted and twisted, making it hard for him to breathe.

"How is it? Aren't you touched?"

"yes!"

This time, Lee Ho-young did not evade Song Ji-hyo's question.

"So—about last night's question—were you ever attracted to me?"

"Now let's talk about this—"

"explain!"

"have!"

Li Haorong answered honestly.

"When?"

"The first time I saw you!"

"Hehe, you pass!"

Hearing these sweet words, Song Ji-hyo smiled and nestled her head on Lee Ho-young's chest.

The scene of their first meeting couldn't help but come to mind.

The man on the phone at the seaside restaurant: He's handsome, a graduate of a prestigious university, and great in every way. It's a pity he has a girlfriend; we can't possibly be together—yeah right!
