Chapter 69, exclusively released...

"And what was his reaction?"

Although he already had a bad feeling, Lee Joo-hyuk still followed up with the question.

Jiang Yalin stared into his eyes and spoke each word clearly.

He did not back down.

After saying this, Lee Joo-hyuk couldn't quite describe how he felt, but he was definitely uncomfortable.

Although he knew before that he liked Jiang Yalin, that was before Jiang Yalin was his girlfriend. Now that they are dating, even if Quan Zhilong likes Jiang Yalin a lot, there are some things he has to restrain himself from. He can't express his feelings, and he also has to avoid certain things.

"Did you kiss?"

It's clear that Lee Soo-hyuk is actually in a bad mood right now, but he's acting too calmly, as if someone has touched his toy. He's unhappy, but not furious.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Yalin felt a chill run through her.

Aren't you angry?

“I’m very angry, but I don’t want to take it out on you, and I don’t want you to see me lose control.”

It was clear that Kang Ah-rin was also in a bad mood at the moment, but Lee Soo-hyuk assumed that she was unhappy because she had been offended, completely unaware that her unhappiness stemmed from his overly indifferent reaction.

Are these two dating? Why is this happening? They seem to be talking about someone else's business. A big question mark appeared on Kang Ji-won's forehead after seeing this.

Yes, even an outsider could sense the awkwardness between the two of them, so why didn't Lee Soo-hyuk himself feel it?

"What you were worried about didn't happen. I regained control of my body in time. Okay, I still have work to do. Whether you go find Quan Zhilong or stay here alone is up to you."

After Jiang Yalin finished speaking, she turned and left. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, her dissatisfaction would overwhelm her reason and make her act in ways that were not her own.

Oh dear, are these two breaking up? Tsk tsk tsk... What a pity, it would have been so much better if I had experienced breaking up before.

Forced to remain silent, Kang Ji-won's inner monologue was quite dramatic. Kang Ah-rin was speechless after hearing it, and her dissatisfaction with Lee Soo-hyuk's reaction lessened considerably.

Watching her turn and leave without a second glance, Lee Soo-hyuk stood there frowning for a long time before finally turning back to find Kwon Ji-yong.

Not noticing that the people behind her were following, it would be a lie to say that Jiang Yalin wasn't disappointed. Although she kept saying that she didn't really like Lee Soo-hyuk and that she was only with him because she was attracted to his body, people are emotional beings. After spending a lot of time together, even if there were no feelings at the beginning, feelings would develop over time. That's why she was even more disappointed when he didn't catch up.

[Kang Ya-rin is completely clueless about romance. Right now, she should be throwing herself into Lee Soo-hyuk's arms, crying and complaining about Kwon Ji-yong's little schemes, then half-coquettishly, half-accusingly saying that his emotions are too bland and he can't even handle romance. She's really wasting such a handsome guy.]

Honestly, at this moment, Jiang Yalin really didn't want to talk to Jiang Zhiyuan or listen to the so-called plot. She could unilaterally silence her, but she couldn't stop the plot from being transmitted.

"sorry."

When Kwon Ji-yong saw Lee Soo-hyuk looking at him with a stern face, he probably understood that Kang Ah-rin might have told him about that matter, so he apologized without hesitation.

“I understand that you like her, but she is my girlfriend now. You can’t mess with a friend’s wife. I hope you can understand this principle, and I also hope you can cherish our friendship.”

Lee Soo-hyuk's heart was actually very complicated at this moment. Facing his friend of many years, he couldn't bring himself to say anything too harsh to criticize him, but his friend's previous behavior was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, making it impossible for him to ignore it.

"I...."

Faced with his friend's accusations and warnings, G-Dragon gave a wry smile. In fact, emotions are the hardest thing to control. If one could control one's emotions, there would naturally be fewer cases of unrequited love in this world.

"I think you've been spoiled by those women. When you suddenly meet someone who doesn't treat you well, you naturally become curious and can't help but focus your attention on them. Maybe you've misunderstood your feelings."

This is what Lee Soo-hyuk has been most looking forward to: his girlfriend and his best friend, both of whom are hard for him to give up.

"Maybe. Don't worry, I'll find a girlfriend as soon as possible. Maybe if I have someone to rely on, I won't like her that much."

Lee Soo-hyuk couldn't make any judgment about his behavior of dating another girl in order to get rid of his feelings for Kang Ah-rin.

Because he doesn't support such behavior, to put it nicely he's a playboy, to put it bluntly he's a scumbag, irresponsible towards a relationship and towards that girl.

But he did this only to get rid of his feelings for his girlfriend and to put her at ease, so he simply couldn't bring himself to say those words of advice.

Ultimately, humans are selfish and hypocritical creatures; everything they do is for their own benefit.

Thanks.

After a long while, he only said those two words. Upon hearing them, G-Dragon breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the matter was temporarily over with his good friend, and he could now observe him more closely.

"You didn't make that same expression in front of Yalin just now, did you?"

"No one would laugh if they heard about this."

Lee Soo-hyuk still didn't realize something was wrong and subconsciously replied.

"Did you say anything before you came to see me again?"

"What do you want to say?"

Lee Soo-hyuk belatedly realized that what Kwon Ji-yong said wasn't what he thought, and when he spoke again, his tone was hesitant.

"It wasn't you who turned around and walked away in front of your girlfriend with a dark expression..."

"I didn't. Yalin was the one who turned around and left. Even if I don't understand, I know that you can't just turn around and leave in front of your girlfriend."

Lee Soo-hyuk, who thought G-Dragon had misunderstood, breathed a sigh of relief at that moment. However, the other party's next words made his heart jump again.

"Didn't you go after them and try to comfort them?"

At this moment, G-Dragon's tone was tinged with disbelief, as if he couldn't understand how this guy could be in a relationship with someone, or how he could have caught Ya-Lin's eye.

However, upon seeing his face and recalling his physique, G-Dragon suppressed his doubts. What else could it be but a handsome face and a great body?

"I...she...so she's angry?"

This is obvious.

Kwon Ji-yong didn't say anything, but his shrug said it all.

After all, according to him, it was all Kang Ya-rin who brought it up. So Lee Soo-hyuk must have done something to offend her before that, which is why she thought of bringing it up to see his attitude.

However, to her surprise, Lee Soo-hyuk remained calm. Kang Ah-rin is probably starting to doubt whether Lee Soo-hyuk actually likes her.

"I think you should go and apologize to her now, and try to appease her."

Although he also liked Kang Ah-rin, he never thought of breaking them up and taking advantage of the situation. Kwon Ji-yong knew that the reason they couldn't be together wasn't because they were a couple, but because Kang Ah-rin didn't like him. If she had even a little bit of affection for him, Lee Soo-hyuk wouldn't stand a chance.

Although he didn't want to admit it, it was the truth, and Kwon Ji-yong's heart was filled with bitterness.

"Good brother, I'll treat you to a meal once I've sorted out this matter."

Although he still didn't understand why Kang Ah-rin was angry, Lee Soo-hyuk immediately decided to coax her.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Jiang Yalin throwing a tantrum. If she could throw a tantrum at him, it meant she considered him her boyfriend. Otherwise, what couple would be so polite to each other?

Wow, you're really something. You don't seem angry at all now. It's terrifying. I feel sorry for Lee Soo-hyuk. It's a shame he got such a heartless girlfriend. It's a pity for his first love... If it were Kim Min-hee, even though she was dumped in the end, she still couldn't forget him. That would definitely mean she gave him more emotional support during their relationship, not like her...

Jiang Zhiyuan's rambling successfully resonated with Jiang Yalin. It was that person again. Although she told herself not to care, no one can truly be indifferent, at least not someone who had only recently entered the workforce.

It was at this moment that Lee Soo-hyuk found Kang Ah-rin. Seeing her sitting alone by the window, staring blankly outside, for some reason, his heart suddenly clenched. It was a sharp pain, but also very painful. He inexplicably felt that her condition was related to him.

[Oh my god, he actually came?! Did G-Dragon send him? No, is that guy out of his mind? He clearly likes someone else's girlfriend and yet he's acting as their strategist. If I were him, I would have stolen her away right then and there!!!]

Kang Ji-won is so inexplicable. When she hates someone, she hates them to death, but sometimes she's also a little funny. Because of this scene where she reveals her inner thoughts, Kang Ah-rin almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Now, she's playing a melancholic girl.

"sorry."

Why are you apologizing?

Jiang Yalin is now curious about what Kwon Ji-yong said to her. He apologized to her as soon as he arrived. Does he understand why he should apologize?

"Although I don't know why you were angry at first, I know that your anger later was definitely because I was oblivious and didn't notice that you were angry. So I apologize and I will try my best to correct this in the future."

Jiang Yalin: ...........

Faced with the other party's earnest apology, Jiang Yalin was at a loss for how to respond; the feeling was quite inexplicable.

Do you... know a woman named Kim Min-hee?

[No, how did Jiang Yalin know about her?!]

"Kim Min-hee?"
