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

Li Haorong was awakened by a cell phone ringing.

He instinctively reached for his phone, but instead touched a long head of hair.

Li Haorong, who was already used to sleeping alone, woke up almost instantly.

Looking at Li Zhixian, who was as docile as a kitten in his arms, Li Haorong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the madness of last night began to surface in his mind.

Once Li Haorong made up his mind to take that step last night, everything fell into place naturally.

From Puxinge to their home, the two seemed to be glued together by superglue, inseparable.

Since Li Yinxin was staying with her family tonight, and Li Haoyang wasn't sure when he would be home.

So Li Haorong took Li Zhixian to her bedroom and then, in a way that was quite amusing, got her onto the bed.

The ringing persisted, finally waking the sleeping Lee Ji-hyun.

It is well known that rookie players often don't have good stats in their opening game.

Li Zhixian was no exception. Moreover, she not only lacked practical experience, but also hadn't learned much theoretical knowledge, so she needed Li Haorong to provide her with hands-on assistance!

In addition, Lee Ji-hyun's physical condition was clearly limited, and she even bled on the field, which greatly reduced the intensity of the game. There was no overtime, and the game entered garbage time early in the regular time.

Even so, the intensity of the opening match left Lee Ji-hyun exhausted. She forced herself to reach out and answer the noisy phone call.

"Feed?"

"Hey, Ji-hyun, you're still asleep?"

"Yin Xin unnie?"

Upon hearing Lee Yoon-hyung's voice, Lee Ji-hyun's mind finally cleared up a bit.

Li Haorong, standing to the side, couldn't help but hold his breath.

Even though he wasn't stealing or cheating, he still felt like a bastard lying next to Li Yinxin's roommate in Li Yinxin's house.

Yes, even this word can be deleted!

"Did you stay up late last night? You're still not up this late."

"Yeah, I'm off today, so I stayed up a little late last night!"

I recall that I didn't fall asleep until after 3 a.m. last night, and the wound is still aching slightly due to excessive abrasion.

"I really envy you. I can't sleep in at home. My family has to wake me up early every morning for breakfast..."

Li Yinxin chatted enthusiastically with Li Zhixian about everyday matters, which made things difficult for Li Zhixian. She wanted to hang up, but she couldn't put her phone down no matter what, afraid that Li Yinxin would become suspicious.

But as luck would have it, Li Haorong's phone also suddenly rang at that moment.

At that moment, Li Haorong's brain seemed to freeze, and he remained stunned for a full second before quickly turning over and turning off his phone.

Turning her head again, Li Yinxin, who had been talking incessantly on the phone, fell silent.

"Oh no, we're doomed!"

At this moment, only this one thought remained in Li Haorong's mind.

"You...we'll talk about it when I get back!"

After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Li Yinxin took a deep breath, said those words, and hung up.

At this moment, the two people still in bed faced each other calmly, speechless.

Seeing that Li Zhixian was worried, Li Haorong hugged her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's all my fault! I'll handle it in a bit!"

"No, Oppa, let's do it together!"

Li Zhixian puffed out her stubborn little face, looking very serious!

Li Yinxin returned even faster than expected.

Li Yinxin, who was staying with her family, was interrogated by her father and eldest sister from last night to this morning, which made her feel both irritable and exhausted. So she thought of her newly adopted younger sister.

However, her phone call brought her a bolt from the blue!

She could hear it clearly on the phone; the ringtone was obviously Li Haorong's.

Lee Ji-hyun hadn't gotten up yet, but Lee Ho-young was beside her. Anyone with a brain would know what had happened!

She felt betrayed, and almost instantly, anger ignited from the deepest part of her heart, gradually consuming her reason.

She didn't say anything to her family, and immediately drove off in her car.

However, today is New Year's Day, and the streets are almost like parking lots, so even though Li Yinxin has the skills of a race car driver, she can only move forward slowly.

And so, the journey that used to take half an hour took her more than an hour.

After such a long period of time, when she stood at her doorstep and took out her keys, her rationality returned.

What am I doing?

Why should I be angry?

What right do I have to be angry?

The thought that she and Li Haorong had no real relationship made her suddenly lose the confidence to face the two of them!

For a moment, she found herself standing there, feeling anxious and uncertain, fearing that once she opened the door, the scene would become uncontrollable.

After standing at the door for a long time and thinking it over, Li Yinxin finally made up her mind to open the door.

However, the scene inside the room left her somewhat dumbfounded; there were no unsightly scenes, nor a dull atmosphere.

Lee Ho-young and Lee Ji-hyun were both dressed in casual home clothes and sitting on the sofa in the living room.

The prepared filling was placed on the coffee table. The two of them scooped out a little with a spoon, placed it on the dough in their hands, and then wrapped it up.

How come this scene is actually somewhat heartwarming?

"What are you doing?"

"As you can see, let's make dumplings!"

Li Haorong's answer sounded like a pointless statement.

"No, you..."

"sit!"

Li Yinxin stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence. Li Haorong told her to sit down, and she actually obediently sat down!

"Listen up, I'm with Lee Ji-hyun now!"

Even though she was mentally prepared, Li Yinxin still felt a lump in her throat when she heard Li Haorong admit it so readily, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

Li Yinxin didn't know when it started, but Xin Xiubin gradually faded from her heart, and Li Haorong kept running around in her mind.

At first, Li Yinxin thought it was just because she had been in contact with him more.

But everything changed after that night when the two almost did something under the influence of alcohol.

Li Yinxin began to care about Li Haorong and what he was doing. She didn't need to do anything every day; just seeing him made her happy.

She thought the two of them would continue like this forever, until this moment, when she heard Li Haorong's voice, which sounded like a judgment, shattered her heart completely.

"Have I been dumped again? This time, I couldn't even tell you I liked you!"

Li Yinxin felt as if her heart had been soaked in bitter herbs; the bitterness spread from her heart to her throat, so much so that she choked for a long time before managing to squeeze out a few words:

"Wishing you happiness!"

Then, Li Yinxin got up to leave, but Li Haorong suddenly moved and hugged her from behind.

"You too! Let's be together?"

Only after losing something do we learn to cherish it.

Li Yinxin, who had already prepared herself for the loss, burst into tears upon hearing Li Haorong's voice, and a feeling of happiness instantly welled up in her heart.

However, overwhelmed by intense happiness, she vaguely felt that something was amiss, wondering if she had forgotten something.
