Peninsula diplomat: My second life with a top celebrity

The conversation didn't immediately get to the main point; both sides simply chatted about some minor details.

Jung Do-hoon sat opposite Minatozaki Sana, taking small bites of rice. He really had no appetite, his mind filled with the doubts that had accumulated over the past few days.

A complete hangover remedy recipe, skillful massage techniques, and seamless kitchen teamwork...

Many details don't match up with the Minatozaki Sana from her previous life.

How come Minatozaki Sana, who was 27 years old, was so good at something that she was 25?

Could it be...

Zheng Daoxun thought of a possibility, and just thinking about it made his heart race and his mind wander.

Is it possible that Sana Minatozaki is also a reborn person, since he is a reborn person?

However, Sana Minatozaki's answer was rather vague—"I was just doing it based on my feelings."

Indeed, rebirth is a phenomenon that is far beyond the explanation of modern human science, and saying it would only make the other party think that you are talking nonsense.

"Dohoon, why did you choose to become a diplomat?"

Sana Minatozaki was starving, and even stir-fried cabbage with rice tasted delicious to her, but her mind was still on the man across from her.

To be honest, when he asked that question, Sana Minatozaki had a moment of self-doubt and even panic.

Yes, why is she so skilled?

It was as if she had been in a relationship with Jung Do-hoon for many years and had retained all the memories and habits from that time.

If she were to reveal that she had been having so-called "precognitive dreams," would Jung Do-hoon believe her? He would probably just think she was talking nonsense.

Ah, the most painful thing in this world is probably not having a bitter pill to swallow, but being unable to even make up a decent lie.

"Actually, before going to university, I hadn't really considered becoming a diplomat. It was more of a coincidence, I guess? When I was studying abroad, the embassy contacted me and wanted me to do an internship for a while, just some paperwork. Gradually, I became interested." Zheng Daoxun put down his chopsticks. "People tend to have path dependence, right? If you can do something well, you'll naturally gravitate towards that direction. I felt I could be a good diplomat, so I embarked on this path."

"Why would we ask a college student like you to help out at the embassy?" Minatozaki Sana wasn't really that concerned about Jung Do-hoon's desire to become a diplomat; it was all just an appetizer before getting to the main point.

However, it's always good to learn more about Jeong Do-hoon from the various details.

"You should remember Counselor Jin Yongxian, right? He's the one in Indonesia. He's my senior."

"I vaguely remember... By the way, may I ask a question?"

Zheng Daoxun nodded slightly; he was still able to handle the current problems with ease.

"Then why did you choose a foreign girlfriend? Isn't that something you diplomats are most averse to?"

Sana Minato slightly raised her eyes, stopped eating, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes. Her question seemed like a test.

If you were to ask Jung Do-hoon about his past life, the answer would simply be, "Because I like him."

But looking back now, it's hard to say the answer.

If Sana Minatozaki were a reborn person, asking this question would be like rubbing salt into a wound.

Knowing full well that their ending is filled with regret, why ask such a pointless question? Do you feel that they wasted each other's youth?

Jung Do-hoon took a deep breath. If Minatozaki Sana was also a reborn person, she wouldn't have looked so bewildered when she first met him.

That kind of unfamiliarity can't be faked.

After careful consideration, Jung Do-hoon still believed that Minatozaki Sana was probably asking about the French woman, Sophia.

"We've hit it off, and... dating doesn't necessarily mean marriage, right?"

Sana Minatozaki pursed her lips and nodded nonchalantly: "So it's just for the novelty?"

"I suppose so. Who told you about this?"

There was an unexpected bonus? Sana Minatozaki was stunned for a moment, but her mood didn't improve.

Does he mean that he is currently dating, or has dated, a foreign girlfriend?

"So you also have path dependence in relationships, but as for who said it... I'm afraid it's not convenient to tell you." Minatozaki Sana's voice trembled slightly as she secretly took a breath.

"Kim Young-seon, right? That big mouth..." Jung Do-hoon rubbed his temples helplessly. "They'd only been dating for less than a month, so she couldn't really be called his girlfriend."

Jin Yongxian...

It's a shame that Zheng Daoxun was trying to help him move up a bit more, but he ended up revealing his romantic history.

What was Sana Minato's purpose in inquiring about this news from Kim Young-seon?

Even if Kim Young-seon couldn't control his mouth, he wouldn't bring up his relationship with Sofia, would he?

"I'm not sure who said that." Sana Minatozaki took a sip of water, having lost all interest in small talk. "Let's get back to the point. Why did you accidentally break into my house twice?"

Zheng Daoxun had already thought of the answer to this question in his mind.

Lying is definitely useless. If Sana Minatozaki is determined to verify, the lie will eventually be exposed.

Moreover, Jeong Do-hoon really couldn't come up with any lie to cover up his actions.

However, the best lies are those that are a mix of truth and falsehood.

Jung Do-hoon knew that the apartment had other tenants before Minatozaki Sana rented it, so he paused for a moment before speaking:

"Actually, this place... used to be my home a long time ago. So sometimes when I drink too much and my memory gets confused, I end up here. I'm really sorry if this has caused you any trouble."

"It's okay, just explain the problem clearly. I'm not... that petty." Minatozaki Sana sighed.

She couldn't think of many ways to dig out more information at the moment.

"I'm giving you a reasonable answer now. You still seem ambiguous about my question." Zheng Daoxun readjusted his mood. As a diplomat, he wasn't used to one-sided intelligence output—

I always have to get something out of Sana Minatozaki.

"What's the problem?"

"Since you've never learned how to massage the stomach before, how did you become so skilled?"

In fact, even if Sana Minatozaki made up a lie, saying that she was taught by a teacher at the company, she believed she could get away with it.

only……

Faced with Zheng Daoxun, she preferred to keep it a secret and had no intention of lying.

Moreover, a plan was quietly brewing in his mind.

Perhaps she could reveal some shocking information and see how Jung Do-hoon reacts.

Anyway... she could say afterwards that she was just joking.

"You might not believe it, Dohoon-ssi... I've been having a series of dreams lately, and the male protagonist in those dreams seems to be you. Maybe I learned it from my dreams."

As soon as Sana Minato finished speaking, Jung Do-hoon's face darkened.

How could he not believe it? He himself was a reborn person.

Sana Minato's words can be seen as a euphemism for rebirth.

He could also explain all his actions by saying that he recently had a dream about the future.

The question of "why do you date a foreign girlfriend?" that Minatozaki Sasha asked can be interpreted from a completely different perspective.

You knew perfectly well that I only chose you because I liked you, and in the end, you were the one who dragged your feet on marriage and missed the best window of opportunity.

Why do you have to rub salt into the wound?

"I understand. That's all for tonight. I'll head back now." Zheng Daoxun said with a stern face, getting up to leave.

Sana Minatozaki watched his departing figure and blinked blankly.

She hasn't figured out yet what she said that offended Zheng Daoxun.

But there was no time to think it through. Sana Minatozaki got up immediately, not even bothering to change her shoes, and chased after him.
