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

Perhaps it was Li Haorong who brought her good luck; her luck had inexplicably improved recently.

Since returning from her blind date, Song Ji-hyo's drama "Princess Hours" has become a huge hit, with its viewership rating rising from just over 10% at the beginning to nearly 30% now.

Then, she received an invitation from MBC to star in the new drama "Jumong," playing Ye So-ah, the first wife of Jumong, the founding king of Goguryeo.

Because dramas on the peninsula are filmed and broadcast simultaneously, Song Ji-hyo had to focus on filming during this period, to the point that she forgot to contact Lee Ho-young.

With the finale of "Princess Hours" finished filming yesterday, Song Ji-hyo finally had some free time.

I finally managed to get out of the house for a stroll today, and unexpectedly, I bumped into Li Haorong.

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

Upon hearing Lee Ho-young call her name, Song Ji-hyo quickly asked him to lower his voice.

Now that she's a supporting actress in a popular drama and has gained some fame, she gets recognized by fans when she walks down the street.

"You've become famous now? Why are you being so cautious?"

Noticing Song Ji-hyo's actions, Lee Ho-young smiled.

"It's alright, of course it can't compare to your incredible power, Chairman Li, acquiring companies everywhere!"

"You're still following me?"

Li Haorong was somewhat surprised that the other party could readily recount his recent business activities.

After all, who would care about the affairs of a stranger?

"I don't want to, but unfortunately, every time I go online, I see so much news about you! More than about me!"

Why does that sound a bit like jealousy?

While the two were chatting and laughing, Lee Qri was quietly observing Song Ji-hyo.

Based on their conversation, Lee Qri finally recognized her: "You are... Min Hyo-rin?"

Min Hyo-rin is the name of Song Ji-hyo's character in "Princess Hours," the ex-girlfriend of the male lead, Crown Prince Lee Shin.

Upon realizing that Lee Juri had recognized him, he quickly said, "Shh, keep your voice down!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Although Lee Qri had met similar people in the entertainment industry before, Song Ji-hyo was the first celebrity she had ever met.

"Now I truly believe you're famous!"

Upon seeing Lee Qri, Lee Ho-young was finally certain of this fact, as she recognized Song Ji-hyo.

"Hmph, it's alright!"

While feeling proud, Song Ji-hyo also felt a little disappointed, realizing that the other party had indeed not paid attention to her during this period.

"Oppa, I'm going to pay the bill now!"

What should I do when my boyfriend is chatting and laughing with another girl on the street?

Lee Juri chose to leave under some pretext.

After all, they wouldn't have a deep conversation if I were there.

They don't talk in depth; they'll likely chat on their phones after they part ways.

Li Juli couldn't control this kind of thing, so she simply created a better space for them to talk.

Sure enough, after Lee Qri left, Song Ji-hyo's words became much bolder:

"Wow, you're really something, cheating so openly. Aren't you afraid of being caught by the little princess?"

"It's okay, she knows!"

Upon hearing Lee Ho-young's words, Song Ji-hyo's eyes widened immediately.

"real?"

"Don't worry, I'm not lying to you!"

"This...is unbelievable!"

While Song Ji-hyo was shocked, she also became curious about the man in front of her:

What magic does he possess that makes Samsung's little princess not pursue his infidelity?

"However, don't tell anyone about my affairs with them!"

Hearing Lee Ho-young's instructions, Song Ji-hyo snapped out of her reverie and quickly nodded in agreement:

"I understand, this can't be let into Chairman Li's hands, otherwise you..."

"Actually, he knew about this too!"

"He...no...well, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Lee Ho-young's words again, Song Ji-hyo's mind nearly went blank.

"Don't worry, Chairman Li isn't blaming me. It's just that our relationship isn't suitable for public disclosure!"

"..."

At this moment, Song Ji-hyo admired Lee Ho-young immensely, while wondering in her heart: How did this man manage to do that?

That's the chairman of Samsung!

Shouldn't this kind of person, faced with their daughter's boyfriend cheating on them, just have someone kill him and bury him?

Does this mean that even Lee Kun-hee can't afford to offend Lee Ho-yong?

Are there such people on the entire peninsula?

After much thought, Song Ji-hyo could only think of the sun in the north and the Jeonju Yi clan, who had once been kings.

His surname is Li? Could he really be a descendant of the last king?

But soon, he himself laughed at the idea, realizing that he had come up with such thoughts only after filming so many TV dramas.

Li Haorong didn't explain further. Although Li Juli had sensibly given him a chance, he felt it wasn't appropriate to keep talking to a girl indefinitely, so he said:

"She's almost finished paying the bill, I'll go check on her, we can talk another day!"

"Inside!"

Song Ji-hyo nodded.

Watching Li Haorong's departing figure, her heart was in turmoil.

The gossip I heard today is truly astonishing.

While she was surprised, another question arose in her mind: if Li Haorong could get Li Yinxin to accept other people, why did he reject her outright when they went on a blind date?

Um, it seems it's because I brought it up first...

At that moment, Song Ji-hyo felt as if she had shot herself in the foot.

"Wait a minute, this is about becoming someone's mistress, why would I feel sorry for her?"

Song Ji-hyo felt like she was going crazy, so she quickly banished the inappropriate thoughts from her mind and turned to leave.

How could I possibly become someone else's mistress?

Although he was very energetic, he's recovered now!

-----------------

The restaurant where Jeon Boram treated Lee Qri to dinner, called "Wangbi's House," is located in Myeongdong, which is why Lee Qri came here to buy a gift.

But to Lee Qri's surprise, Jeon Boram actually waited for her outside the store.

"Ji-hyun~~"

When Jeon Boram saw Lee Qri get out of the car, she wiggled her short legs and came to Lee Qri, hugging her tightly.

Although Lee Ju-ri changed her name, she still used her original name, Lee Ji-hyun, at school.

Even her classmates didn't know the name Li Juli.

Releasing Lee Qri, Jeon Boram glanced at Lee Ho-young, who had followed her out of the car, and couldn't help but tease him:

"Huh? Why did you bring your family?"

"I just brought her here. You guys eat, I'm leaving now!"

When Jeon Boram teased him, Lee Ho-young didn't refute it, but accepted it generously and prepared to drive away.

But Jeon Boram had no intention of letting him off the hook and took the initiative to invite him:

"That won't do. Since you're here, why don't you come along?"

"Should I come along? That wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"

"What's inappropriate about it? I'm the birthday boy today, so I get to decide!"

As she spoke, Quan Baolan, seemingly afraid that Li Haorong would run away, actually took his arm and whispered in his ear while standing on tiptoe:

"And everyone who came today was a beautiful woman!"

"hiss……"

The two were in a rather ambiguous position, especially since the other person was holding their arm tightly.

Based on the sensation from his arm, Li Haorong thought to himself: I didn’t expect Jeon Boram to be so tall when lying down, even though she’s not tall when standing.

The other person was Lee Juri's good friend, and he couldn't just push her away, so he looked at Lee Juri for help, hoping she would say a word for him.

However, Lee Juri surprisingly smiled and said:

"Oppa, since Boram has invited us, shall we come together?"

Lee Ho-young was speechless. He looked at the sly glint in Lee Juri's eyes as she maintained her smile, then glanced at the fiery Jeon Bo-ram, and thought to himself:

Something's not right, something's not right about these two!
