Chapter 122 Quiet and Lively
There is a saying that the person who knows you best is often your opponent. This also applies to G-Dragon and Jung Yunho. Jung Yunho has always had a generous personality, but no matter how generous a man is, it is impossible for him to not care about his rival in love. With more attention, Jung Yunho naturally got to know G-Dragon better, so when the party atmosphere was the most lively, G-Dragon stood in the middle with a smile and announced some news, he was really not surprised at all.
Because Jung Yunho had specifically asked Jingrong if G-Dragon had any other intentions for holding this party. Although Jingrong denied it, she was not completely clueless. She naturally understood G-Dragon's character. Taeyang was also not too surprised by this. Apart from him, everyone else was shocked. G-Dragon put his arm around Jingrong's waist and smiled: "Everyone should come when the time comes."
There was a moment of silence, followed by a heated discussion. If people had known Jingrong was pregnant, they wouldn't have been so surprised by G-Dragon's marriage announcement. But the truth was, not many people knew about Jingrong's pregnancy. Aside from the entire Big Bang cast, Zhang Zhiyao, Cui Yingya, Jin Lina, Zhang Jingran, and Zheng Yunhao and his friends, everyone else was in the dark. They'd assumed that even if Jingrong and G-Dragon reconciled, it was just a relationship. Why were they getting married so suddenly? Were they kidding?!
Cl had just whispered to her teammates, sharing the secret she had promised Jingrong not to reveal, when she turned around and heard Captain Quan announce such a news. Suddenly, she didn't know what expression to use. She silently stared at Captain Quan's cheerful face, thinking that she was still too naive and had always underestimated Captain Quan's bottom line. He even threatened to jump off the building. Is it really that simple for him to just reconcile with Jingrong? It's like asking for reconciliation and proposing in one go! In fact, if possible, Cl really wanted to say to Captain Quan - you actually proposed by jumping off the building. It's so awesome. Do your family know? Do your fans know? Do your exes know?
Speaking of which, where has the time gone? CL couldn't help but shed a few bitter tears for Captain Quan. Captain Quan, who used to be the girl president and the housewife killer, now doesn't rely on his unparalleled charm to pursue girls, not his handsome face and confident posture, not his proud talent and super high fame. Even with his seemingly deep affection and endless sweet words, he couldn't impress the other party. His way of pursuing is to threaten them at all costs. Threats! It's only been a short time. Captain Quan, who used to have countless beauties come to him with just a finger, now chases his girlfriend without the other party's consent! And he threatens not only Jingrong to accept him again, but also Jingrong to agree to marry him. Damn, this is already forced marriage, okay? Captain Quan uses this method to find a wife. It's really embarrassing for them YG!
CL wanted to cover her face countless times. Her resentment was definitely not noticed by the smug Captain Quan. So slowly, CL's eyes shifted from Quan Zhilong to Jingrong next to him. Captain Quan was so arrogant, so they should not be friends. She was more curious about Jingrong's thoughts. In her opinion, Jingrong should not be someone who would be easily threatened. Even if Captain Quan threatened to jump off the building, Jingrong would at most agree to start over. How could she directly agree to his request to marry because of Captain Quan's threat? However, if she was willing to get married because she really loved Captain Quan, then they would not have needed to break up before. After the breakup, Jingrong did not even have a relaxation period and went straight to Zheng Yunhao's passionate affair - so cool that she had no friends. Even if she said that she really loved Quan Zhilong, who would believe it?
After much deliberation, Cl finally came to a conclusion. The reason was simple: Captain Kwon was a master jumper. He completely overturned the previous story and rewrote the ending. It couldn't be more exciting! Cl felt that if it weren't for Captain Kwon's jump, the person standing here announcing the marriage would probably be Jung Yunho. After all, the outside world called them a match made in heaven. Even the queens no longer rejected Jung Yunho and Jingrong's relationship, and even constantly urged Jung Yunho to take his wife home as soon as possible under his tweets. Thinking of this, Cl couldn't help but imagine: if Jung Yunho didn't give in and also dragged Jingrong to jump from a building, giving her two choices: either be with him or die together, then wouldn't Captain Kwon's home advantage be gone? In this case, who would Jingrong choose in the end, or would she choose neither? Would Captain Kwon still be as proud as he is now?
It's not that Cl can't stand Captain Kwon being well, but it's so shameless for him to be so impatient to show off his affection in front of these single girls! It's obvious that he is trying to attract hatred, so since he dares to show off, they dare to be envious and jealous. Thinking of this, Cl couldn't help but look at Jingrong with a little more eagerness, and it was also very complicated. She didn't really have much emotion to congratulate them, but she felt more sympathy for Jingrong. Captain Kwon had been with Jingrong for almost a year without letting Jingrong make their relationship public, and right after they broke up, Jung Yunho and Jingrong were in a big way. No matter how you look at it, Jingrong really loves Jung Yunho, so Jingrong was already with his true love...
Jing Rong couldn't possibly not feel Cl's intense gaze. She looked back and saw Cl's face with an "I understand" expression. She paused, and suddenly thought of the question Cl had asked her before. She thought Cl was joking, so she smiled ambiguously. Now it seems that she was joking, but perhaps Cl was not joking with her... Jing Rong thought, and immediately turned her head to glance at G-Dragon. If one day he found out that his friends viewed their marriage in this way, he wondered if he would still be able to laugh.
Jing Rong's subconscious reaction further confirmed Cl's suspicions. She couldn't help but clench her fists. "Fuck, even forcing someone to marry him is such a great idea! Captain Quan is so awesome!" Cl's own imagination refreshed her worldview.
G-Dragon's sudden announcement, which he thought was great news, shocked many people. Like CL, President Yang couldn't accept this sudden news for a while. Although, last time G-Dragon told him in the office in front of his teammates that he and Jingrong would get married soon, President Yang just smiled and didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, even if G-Dragon had the ability to make Jingrong change his mind about him, even if Jingrong really wanted to marry him, it would not be done in a short time - last time G-Dragon also said that the matter between Jung Yunho and Jingrong was very It will be resolved soon. It has been more than a week and there has been no movement. Therefore, President Yang believes that G-Dragon and Jing Rong cannot get married at least before the matter between Jung Yunho and Jing Rong is resolved. The matter between Jung Yunho and Jing Rong is not something that can be resolved just by saying it. It even affects whether Jing Rong can sit firmly on the position of president of Xue Group. President Yang knows that Jing Rong is not someone who will give up everything for love, otherwise she would not have to break up with G-Dragon and be with Jung Yunho. No matter how much she likes G-Dragon and how anxious she is to get married, it is impossible for her to get married before resolving the issue of her engagement with Jung Yunho.
But no matter how shocked he was, this was indeed the truth. When President Yang saw G-Dragon announce the news, Jingrong didn't show any expression, but he also didn't show any surprise or other emotions, which showed that this matter was discussed by the two of them. Zheng Yunhao was also smiling gently beside him. Kim Jaejoong and Shen Changmin even congratulated Jingrong and G-Dragon! In other words, without his knowledge, even the issue of Jingrong and Zheng Yunhao's engagement was now resolved!
President Yang's eyes flickered between Jingrong, G-Dragon, and Jung Yunho several times, but he couldn't make out what was going on. He just thought that maybe he was really old and didn't understand the world of young people anymore. G-Dragon announced this "joyful news" to everyone, making them excited for a long time. After everyone had congratulated them, President Yang said he had something to do and had to leave first. When G-Dragon called to invite President Yang in the afternoon, the other party said that he couldn't stay too long. In fact, G-Dragon thought it would be great if President Yang could come, and of course it didn't matter if he really couldn't come, so he didn't try to persuade him to stay. He stood up and warmly said he would see him out.
"No need, it's not like I don't know the way." President Yang glanced at the people who were having a great time and said with a smile, "You guys go ahead and have fun."
"It's quite a distance from here to the parking lot, so I'll take you there." Quan Zhilong was still smiling so hard that his eyes were almost invisible. President Yang glanced at Jingrong beside him and nodded, "Okay then."
G-Dragon and President Yang walked out of the brightly lit villa hand in hand. Unlike the bustling atmosphere inside, the outside of the villa was peaceful and quiet. The starlight was not too bright. Fortunately, there were streetlights in the yard. Living in such a peaceful scenery must be a very happy thing. President Yang smiled at G-Dragon and said, "Not bad, the environment here is really nice."
Quan Zhilong smiled, revealing his full mouthful of white teeth. Seeing this, President Yang smiled again, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. When you first came to the company, you were still skinny and small. It feels like just a blink of an eye, and now you're getting married and having children. Time flies."
Hearing this, G-Dragon put away his beaming smile and said seriously, "If you hadn't taken me in at YG Entertainment, there would be no G-Dragon, and I wouldn't be where I am today. Brother, you've saved my life, and YG means something different to me. Although I haven't said it before, I've always kept it in my heart."
President Yang stopped and looked at the person next to him steadily. Although it was dark, the seriousness in G-Dragon's eyes was clearly visible. President Yang suddenly remembered that when he first met this boy, he was only in his teens, thin and small, with only handsome looks. However, the pair of clear eyes full of determination on his green and chubby face made him stop for a moment. It really seemed like a blink of an eye, as if it was just yesterday, the little boy who looked like a dumpling had grown into a man today, still firm, but more steady, and a hint of maturity unconsciously revealed between his brows, which made people couldn't help but feel trust in him. President Yang has always considered himself a talent scout. He's discovered many talented individuals throughout his life, but if you ask him which discovery gave him the greatest sense of accomplishment, it's definitely Big Bang and G-Dragon. He's proudest of three things: forming Seo Taiji, founding YG Entertainment, and personally nurturing and shaping Big Bang into the K-pop sensation it is today. Of these, G-Dragon is the one he's invested the most time and energy in, and the one he holds the highest expectations for. President Yang's expectations for G-Dragon were far from what they are now. Back then, he even dared to let G-Dragon, only a few years into his career and in his early twenties, take full responsibility for the debut of 2NE1, a girl group he also had high hopes for. Others assumed he was laying the groundwork for 2NE1's future, with G-Dragon in a nominal capacity. In reality, only those within the company knew the extent of G-Dragon's nominal responsibility. President Yang was taking a risk, entrusting the future of the girl group to a seemingly childish boy. Facts have proved that his adventure was not wrong. The energy in G-Dragon needs to be continuously tapped, and his demands on him will never stop, but will only get higher and higher.
Therefore, it is obviously inappropriate to describe the relationship between President Yang and G-Dragon as president and artist. The relationship between them should be that of both teacher and friend. He almost watched G-Dragon grow up, and spent a lot of effort to cultivate him as if he were his own child. He was also strict with him like all teachers, but he is only a dozen years older than G-Dragon, and sometimes they get along more like friends in private. Although President Yang is becoming more and more like a businessman, he can't help but covet him when he recalls these. Whether from the perspective of feelings or interests, G-Dragon is the top Korean idol he has poured his heart and soul into creating, and he is an all-round talent. Even if Big Bang does not choose YG in the future, he hopes that G-Dragon can stay. Whether in front of or behind the scenes, he believes that G-Dragon can thrive, and he is also willing to provide him with such a world.
Thinking of this, President Yang's eyes became even more profound. After a while, he said earnestly, "Although you may not agree with my actions sometimes, everything I do is for your own good. You're going to get married and have children soon, so I think you'll understand my good intentions. If you really want to get married, I won't stop you. I wish you happiness. But Jiyong, even though you're getting married, you're both still young. Focus on your careers. Don't have children too soon; it will really hinder your progress."
President Yang said something that many men actually thought. After he finished speaking, he patted Quan Zhilong on the shoulder and without waiting for his reply, he turned and walked towards his car, waving one hand behind his back as a farewell to Quan Zhilong. Quan Zhilong was stunned and thus missed the best opportunity to tell President Yang the truth.
Watching President Yang drive away in style, Quan Zhilong spent a long time in the deserted parking lot. He touched his pocket and remembered that he had quit smoking. Quan Zhilong simply walked back to the villa hall with his hands in his pockets. The departure of him and President Yang did not cause the party atmosphere to decline. It was still very lively inside. However, Quan Zhilong searched the hall for a long time but did not see Jingrong. He saw Zhang Zhiyao and the others chatting on the sofa where Jingrong had sat before, so he raised his foot to ask her if she had seen Jingrong. However, when he passed by Kim, he frowned, then reached out and took the cigarette from Kim's hand, and then pressed it in the ashtray next to him. Kim was stunned and watched him put out his cigarette before he thought of complaining. He opened his mouth, but Quan Zhilong said seriously: "Sorry, smoking is not allowed in our house."
"That's too much. Don't you smoke too?" Kim's face was full of indignation. Yang Shenghao, who had just taken out a cigarette, put it back silently after seeing this. Li Xiuhe also knew that Jingrong was pregnant, but he didn't plan to reveal it before Quan Zhilong announced it, so he reached out and put his arm around Kim's shoulder: "But Zhilong has quit smoking now. He doesn't even drink alcohol."
Hearing this, Kim looked at Quan Zhilong with a pair of puzzled eyes: "You don't smoke or drink, are you crazy?"
"He just had an epiphany. There's no end to suffering, but turning back is the shore." Lee Soo Hyuk said something incoherent and profound, leaving Kim confused. Then he pointed to the stairs and said to G-Dragon, "Looking for your wife? I saw her going upstairs."
The word "wife" made G-Dragon's heart blossom. A smile immediately spread across his face. He nodded to his friends and turned to walk upstairs. Even his back looked so cheerful that Kim couldn't bear to watch him: "They haven't even gotten married yet, and he can't wait to become a wife slave. What will happen in the future?"
Yang Shenghao slowly interjected, "I predict he'll become a very filial husband and father."
Kim didn't catch the underlying meaning and simply shook off the goosebumps with a look of disgust. "Ah, if he's really that useless, we must keep our distance from him from now on! It's embarrassing for us." Although Captain Kwon announced that he was about to get married, in Kim's opinion, marriage didn't mean having children. Captain Kwon might be willing to end his beautiful single life and couldn't wait to enter the siege of marriage with Jingrong, but why would he consider having children before he's had enough of their own world? So, his friends were just being too worried about the dad thing!
As for Kim’s blind optimism, I have five words for him - you are too naive!
Li Xiuhe just smiled meaningfully.
G-Dragon went up to the second floor and didn't see anyone in the living room. Then he gently pushed open the door of their bedroom, and a dim light poured out. In the bedroom he designed, on the big bed he chose, Jing Rong was sleeping quietly with the quilt in her arms. The bed was very big, and her whole body and her whole life took up less than one-third of the area, leaving a large empty space, which made Jing Rong look even more petite and pitiful. G-Dragon's heart softened. He closed the door and walked in quietly. He didn't take off his coat, but just took off his shoes, leaned back on the bed, and then carefully moved Jing Rong's head to his legs, half-hugging her, stroking her long hair that was spread on the quilt and on his legs, while quietly looking at her sleeping profile. After thinking for a while, G-Dragon turned off the bedside lamp, and the room was suddenly dark, but the curtains were not drawn, and the faint starlight outside the window could be seen. In such a quiet night, he hugged Jing Rong, even if he just sat there, he only felt that the years were quiet and his whole heart softened into a pool of water.
The silence upstairs was in stark contrast to the bustling downstairs. People like Taeyang and Zhang Zhiyao knew that Jingrong was pregnant, so they naturally knew that the most important thing for her now was to get enough rest. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and Jingrong was sleeping upstairs. G-Dragon went upstairs to watch over her out of worry. This was not a big deal. The other members of Big Bang could fully assume the responsibilities of the host, and with Zhang Zhiyao and Zheng Yunhao helping out, the others just complained a few times that Captain Quan was too unreliable as the host, and then enthusiastically jumped into the new round of the game.
Only the buddies could help Captain Kwon greet the guests, but after playing until the early hours, the buddies were exhausted and everyone had dispersed. At this point, the host should at least show up to see them off, right? Following Taeyang's hint, Seungri found a moment to sneak upstairs and gently knocked on the door outside G-Dragon's bedroom. Then, partially opening it, he poked his head in and whispered, "Hyung, are you there? Everyone's getting ready to go home."
With a click, the bedside lamp came on, and Seungri saw G-Dragon sitting on the bed, and Kyungyoung lying on him, seemingly asleep. Seungri opened his eyes wide and mouthed to G-Dragon, "Is sister-in-law still sleeping?"
Quan Zhilong nodded, motioning him to go downstairs. Seungri pointed downstairs, then quietly closed the door for them and turned to go downstairs. Quan Zhilong carefully moved Jingrong's head back to the pillow, but when he was halfway, Jingrong turned over unconsciously. Quan Zhilong paused, said nothing, and quietly lifted half of the quilt, got out of bed and put on his shoes. He just looked down to see if his clothes were messed up when Jingrong suddenly sat up. Quan Zhilong was startled and hurried over to hug her: "What's wrong?"
Jing Rong had just woken up and was still a little dazed. He opened his eyes and looked at Quan Zhilong for a long time before mumbling, "They seem to be still downstairs?"
Quan Zhilong naturally knew who she was talking about, so he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, they are all going back now, you continue to sleep, I will go downstairs to see them off."
Jing Rong was very sleepy, but he didn't accept his suggestion. He yawned slightly and said, "It's okay, I'll go down with you."
Quan Zhilong looked at her suspiciously. Jingrong pushed him away and wanted to get out of bed. She had just seen someone smoking downstairs, and she wasn't alone. So she came upstairs at the suggestion of Taeyang. She had only planned to rest in bed for a while, not sleep, so she was still wearing the same home clothes she had worn during the day. She put on her shoes, tidied up her messy hair, and then she was ready to go out. Quan Zhilong watched her movements from the side. After she finished, Jingrong stood opposite him and urged, "Hurry down, you have to come back to take a shower later."
"What if you catch a cold if you take a shower so late?" Quan Zhilong frowned. "Can't you take a shower the next day? I won't hold it against you."
"I still dislike you." Jing Rong answered without thinking, reaching out to pull him up from the bed, "Hurry up, if you're afraid it's too late, you might as well hurry up and see the guests off."
"Then just hurry up for a few minutes, okay?" G-Dragon didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't dare let Jingrong push too hard, so he was half-heartedly pulled up by her. When they went downstairs, the hall was already a mess of cups and plates, and the whole room was filled with the smell of alcohol. When Jingrong came to the last table, she almost stepped on a bottle of wine. Fortunately, G-Dragon held her tightly. G-Dragon frowned slightly and took Jingrong to the side door. The wind was a bit strong, just enough to blow away the strong smell. Some people were already drunk, some were half drunk, and they were supporting each other in twos and threes. G-Dragon didn't need to say much, just to see them out. Jung Yunho didn't drink much, he was still sober. He stood at the door and exchanged a few words with Jingrong. Then, when he was about to help these careless brothers leave with Kim Jaejoong, someone hugged his thigh. He looked down and saw Zhang Zhiyao, who always had a queenly aura, hugging his leg like a pillow, with his eyes closed and his cheek rubbing against his trouser leg! Zheng Yunhao's worldview was also destroyed. He immediately bent down and tried to move the person away. Even though Zhang Zhiyao was asleep, he was still domineering. She didn't want to let go. Even the owner of these legs couldn't shake her. Zheng Yunhao raised his head helplessly, wanting to find help. It turned out that Cui Yingya was half leaning against Jingrong with her mobile phone constantly "clicking", muttering to herself: "What a classic picture, I must find the best angle to save it. I believe Zhiyao himself will not want to miss it! Ah, I am indeed the nation's best girlfriend. I have really moved South Korea!"
Jingrong's mouth twitched. "My dear, are you really sure that Zhiyao will be very touched when she wakes up? You took so many pictures of her hugging a man, or a man she is not very familiar with, and touching his thighs?"
Best friends are unreliable, but luckily there is her brother next to her. Zhang Jingran had enjoyed her cousin's rare embarrassing side, and walked over with a smile. Together with Zheng Yunhao, they moved Zhang Zhiyao away in a few seconds. It's not exactly moving away. Zhang Jingran just sacrificed his thigh to let Zheng Yunhao hug him. Zhang Zhiyao is much more familiar with him than Zheng Yunhao, so it is not difficult. Zhang Jingran looked at his cousin who was hugging his thigh tightly, and smiled stiffly at Zheng Yunhao: "Sorry to make you laugh, my sister likes it this way when she is drunk..." Hugging thighs... It's so embarrassing.
Jung Yunho just smiled gently, "Hehe." I didn't expect that such a queen-like girl would have such a special hobby after being drunk. She wasn't like this last time.
Jing Rong seemed to see through Zheng Yunhao's thoughts, and just said lightly: "She is not drunk and hugging others' thighs, she is just pretending." It's a pity that this girl never wanted to admit it, and kept pretending to be drunk, so Cui Yingya was so excited to take pictures. In addition to keeping it as a souvenir, it is also the "evidence" to expose her tricks in the future.
However, because of this incident, the five members of TVXQ and Zhang Zhiyao and others left together. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the people in the hall were gone. Except for Top who was half drunk, the others in Big Bang were sober. After they helped Captain Quan send all the guests away, Seungri and Daesung supported Top together. Taeyang said goodbye to Jingrong and G-Dragon: "Jiyong, Jingrong, we are leaving too."
Jing Rong asked: "Your room is here, don't you want to stay here today?"
Without waiting for Taeyang to reply, Seungri said, "We won't disturb your world of two!" Then he looked at the top again and said, "Besides, there's no doll here for Big Brother to cuddle with before he goes to bed. We're afraid he'll get angry."
This was a huge difference from TOP's tall and stern image. Jing Rong couldn't help but smile before nodding and saying, "Okay, drive safely."
As she spoke, she and G-Dragon walked side by side behind them and sent them to the parking lot. Seungri drove, and Taeyang and Daesung moved Top to the back seat. Daesung also sat in, just enough for Top to sleep with his head resting on his legs. Taeyang closed the car door for them, then stood up and was about to walk around to the driver's seat. When he passed by Jingrong and G-Dragon, he paused for a moment, glanced at Jingrong with a complicated look, then waved to them and got in the car. Seungri also waved to Jingrong and the others, started the car, and then drove away.
Quan Zhilong hugged Jingrong and returned to the villa. The hall was still brightly lit, but the mess of cups and plates gave off a sense of loneliness after prosperity. The auntie who had just been hired seemed to have heard the guests leave and had come out of the room. She was cleaning the living room. When she saw Jingrong and the others return, she straightened up and said with a smile, "You guys are back?"
Jing Rong smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, it's already late. Let's rest first. We can clean up tomorrow."
Because it was Quan's mother who found the new aunt herself, and it was said that they were introduced by their aunt, the Quan family had some trust in the aunt who had worked in their family for many years, so they also valued the new aunt she introduced. Therefore, Jing Rong and Quan Zhilong were more polite to the new aunt than usual. However, Aunt Wang would not really forget her responsibilities because of Jing Rong's politeness. She shook her head and said, "It will have to be cleaned up sooner or later anyway. Clean up the house early so that I can sleep more peacefully. You guys should go upstairs and rest. The smell of alcohol is quite strong here. Be careful not to harm your health."
Hearing this, G-Dragon did not linger any longer. He smiled at Aunt Wang, told her to go to bed early, and then helped Jing Rong upstairs as if facing a great enemy.
