Chapter 146 How can I not be tempted?
Bigbang's journey is to the stars and the sea. Just like all actors have an Oscar dream, all singers have a Grammy dream in their hearts, and of course Bigbang is the same.
It is said that a man has established himself at the age of 30, and 30 is indeed a watershed. When G-Dragon was 30, he was already considered a winner in life by many people, with a successful career and a happy family. But there was a big surprise waiting for him at the age of 30: the title song of his new album, which he composed independently, was nominated for the Grammy Award for "Best Rap Song". Although it was just a nomination, it was already the greatest affirmation for G-Dragon.
Big Bang thus took the first step toward conquering the world. They subsequently signed with an American agency, becoming the world's first influential Asian idol group. However, Big Bang's Grammy journey wasn't so smooth. Year after year, they were nominated, yet year after year, they missed out on the Grammy Award. VIPs seemed accustomed to this yearly disappointment, constantly reassuring Big Bang that just being nominated was already great, and they remained proud of their idol. Perhaps everyone had given up a bit, but when G-Dragon finally took home a Grammy, everyone was stunned.
When G-Dragon became a prominent representative of South Korea's youth, he was still young, just 35. A man under 40 isn't considered old. While the entertainment industry thrives on youth, this rule doesn't apply to the internationally renowned Big Bang. Among Big Bang's members, G-Dragon already has a wife and a daughter. TOP is married but not planning on having children, Daesung is engaged, and Taeyang has a steady girlfriend. Seungri remains a playboy, with a constant stream of beautiful women chasing him, making him reluctant to give up the forest for a single tree. No one is in a rush; their thirties are the time to enjoy life to the fullest. It's easy to imagine that, having achieved all this at just 35, G-Dragon's allure will only grow even greater.
A reporter from Time magazine interviewed G-Dragon and asked him what he felt about being the first Korean to win a Grammy Gold Record Player. G-Dragon just smiled. He was not surprised at his success at all because he had such strong support behind him. The reporter then asked if this strong support came from the spectacular number of VIPs behind him. G-Dragon shook his head and said that the person who gave him motivation and even provided him with such a broad stage was his wife, Mrs. Quan.
No one can deny that Big Bang's current achievements are inevitably related to Jing Rong. Otherwise, Big Bang would have ceased to exist long after they were discharged from the army. But now, Big Bang's international status has far surpassed the help Jing Rong initially brought them, so unknowingly, people's name for Jing Rong has also changed from President Xue to Mrs. Quan.
But no matter whether it is Chairman Xue or Mrs. Quan, the outside world is still very optimistic about the relationship between Quan Zhilong and his wife that has remained unchanged for ten years. This couple gave them a lot of positive energy back then. They were moved, expectant, and worried back then, but seeing them walking steadily and undeterred for more than ten years, they have become calm and it has become a habit. They were the national couple ten years ago, and they are still the same ten years later.
However, as one of the protagonists of the national couple, G-Dragon has become increasingly unhappy recently. For more than ten years, he has insisted on training his skills in speaking sweet words, and every morning he wakes up and says a different confession to Jingrong, such as "I love you forever", "Until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble", and "Forever". These are all small matters. G-Dragon's goal is to move South Korea, but he did not expect that he has persisted for so long, enough to move the world, but has never received a similar response from his wife. It is really tiring.
Quan Zhilong, who was full of ambition in his career, was very dissatisfied with this. The day after he got the golden record player back, he planned to hear his wife's confession of love. To this end, Mr. Quan did many things. The stupidest one was to hold up three Chinese characters and ask Jingrong: "Wife, how do you pronounce these three words?"
Jing Rong was reading a document. When he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at the notebook in his hand, then curled his lips and said, "Funny."
Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this just three words?" So, he shouldn't have written it wrong, right? Quan Zhilong took another look, and finally insisted that he was right. He looked at Jingrong with his head held high, his eyes full of accusations.
"I'm talking about you." Jing Rong was not polite at all. Quan Zhilong couldn't even play dumb. He held his chest with his hands, like Xizi holding her heart. "Wife, how could you do this!"
Jing Rong just glanced at him without saying anything, lowering her head to continue processing the documents in her hands. Quan Zhilong, unwilling to be lonely, moved over and hugged her from behind: "Honey, we haven't gone on our honeymoon yet. I have time to accompany you recently. Tell me where you want to go?"
"Are you sure you have time?"
"Of course." Quan Zhilong held Jingrong in his arms and said slowly, "There's never enough work to do, so we might as well enjoy life while we have the chance. I promised to take you on a honeymoon, but for various reasons, it never happened. Now, we can have some fun... well, how about traveling around the world? Just the two of us."
Jing Rong was also quite tempted, but still a little hesitant: "Bao Er's side..."
"She's already this old, and she still has her parents. What is she afraid of?" Quan Zhilong's tone slowed down again, as if he was painting a very beautiful picture in front of Jingrong with his words. "We've been married for so many years, and we still haven't had a good time together as two people..."
Jing Rong hesitated for a moment, but his heart finally overcame his hesitation. He nodded and said, "Give me half a month and I'll arrange the company's affairs."
"Okay." Quan Zhilong kissed her cheek, "I'm planning the route, so no one is allowed to follow us this time."
Jing Rong smiled lightly, hooked her arms around Quan Zhilong's neck, and kissed him back on the corner of his mouth. Quan Zhilong put his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss. When their lips parted, Quan Zhilong's baby voice, which had not been heard for a long time, resurfaced, and he said very aggrievedly: "You have never said that to me."
"Which sentence?"
"That's what I said!" Quan Zhilong was very aggrieved. "Don't you love me anymore? Have you changed your mind?"
In response to Quan Zhilong's unreasonable behavior, Jing Rong had only two words: "Stop it."
During the half month of preparing to spend time alone together, G-Dragon was not idle at all. He jumped up and down and insisted that Jingrong say those three words to him. Jingrong didn't cooperate, which made G-Dragon very frustrated. He gradually lost interest in work. Captain Quan, who should have been full of energy, naturally became noticed by others. BB Agency has been developing very well in recent years. Batches of potential newcomers have been running to their company. Among them, Jeavill, who has become a little queen of the music scene after only half a year of debut, is the one who cares most about this matter.
Jeavill and G-Dragon were in the same company. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they often ran into each other. The girl was just twenty years old. It was said that she came from a good family, was pretty, and was good at talking. She was currently developing very well, so she had a good relationship with Seungri. So when she came to Big Bang's office, no one noticed. G-Dragon was just racking his brains over how to finally pry open his wife's mouth, which was as tight as if it was covered with 502 glue. An employee who usually had no interaction with her suddenly came over. G-Dragon naturally thought she had something important to do, but he didn't care too much. He saw Jeavill greet him and said without waiting for her to explain her purpose, "Is there a problem at work? Seungri is in the office today, you can go directly to him."
The girl bit her lip lightly, seeming a little hesitant and nervous. Finally, she bowed to G-Dragon with determination: "Sorry, Oppa, I have something to talk to you about."
"What do you want to talk to me about?" G-Dragon closed his notebook and looked at the little girl across from him calmly. Jeavill's cheeks flushed slightly at his gaze, and the shy girl also had a unique charm. She lowered her head slightly, and the girl whispered, "Oppa, have you been a little unhappy recently?"
G-Dragon was stunned for a moment, as if realizing something. He then noticed the girl's slightly delicate attire, and frowned slightly. He was about to open his mouth to send the girl away, but she continued with all her might, "I know your life now isn't as happy as everyone thinks!"
Jeavill's sudden words left Quan Zhilong stunned. He thought he had been hit on the point and was in shock, so he didn't mind and continued, "The outside world thinks you and your wife are in love, but that's not the case, right? You only got together because you had a child. I also know that before you planned to get married, you had actually broken up. The rumors about your wife and senior Jung Yunho at that time were actually true... Two people who don't love each other will not be happy if they are forced together. Now your daughter has grown up and become sensible. You don't need to sacrifice your own happiness for her. You need to find your own life again..."
Quan Zhilong really wanted to ask, "I don't even know that my wife and I don't want to be in love. How did you infer that?" But Quan Zhilong was stunned by the girl's bold and unconventional remarks. He couldn't recover for a long time and failed to interrupt the girl's free expression in time. Jeavill felt that the momentum was good, so he spoke more and more passionately: "Although you often say that your current achievements are all inseparable from your wife's help and support, she did give you some help, but now you don't need it anymore. You are already the pride of the Republic of Korea... Besides, even if you need help in these areas, my father is the president of Park Group, and my uncle is the Minister of Culture..."
Before the girl could finish her impassioned speech, the person outside the door had lost his patience and kicked the office door open with a loud "bang", demonstrating the intruder's anger. Quan Zhilong and Jeavill looked over and saw Quan Xijing glaring at them with red eyes. Behind her was Jingrong, who seemed to be smiling, and Taiyang, whose expression was neither good nor bad.
At this moment, G-Dragon's psychological interaction was extremely weird. He was not nervous about being "caught in a cheating match", but rather felt fortunate - fortunately, the person next to his wife was his good friend Taeyang and not the big mouth Seungri, haha, otherwise if Seungri made this matter known to everyone, G-Dragon would have lost his reputation for the rest of his life!
Although it was the first time that Quan Xijing saw such a classic situation in real life, she had a very high emotional intelligence and knew what was going on immediately. She walked in angrily and glared at Jeavill, who was only a few years older than her and used to call her "sister" when he came to the company: "I used to like you so much, but I didn't expect you to be so, so..." Although Quan Xijing is young, she has good self-cultivation. She is a little arrogant, but there are no sharp or vulgar adjectives. Moreover, she can't accept this situation. After all, the last second, she was still angry because she knew that her father was so disloyal and planned to abandon her and take her mother to have a world of two, and it was a world of two that lasted for a long time. She rushed over to settle accounts with Quan Zhilong, but when she saw such a wonderful plot, Quan Xijing felt terrible.
Quan Xijing was at a loss for words for a moment, which gave the other party the upper hand. Jeavill tried to squeeze out a kind smile: "Baoer, don't worry, even if I am with Oppa, I will still treat you the same as before..."
When did I ever want to be with you! Hearing this, Quan Zhilong almost jumped up. Quan Xijing was also helpless against this girl's amazing behavior. She looked back at Jingrong with some embarrassment: "Mom, she, she is shameless..." Forgive Quan Xijing, this is the most "vicious" adjective she can think of.
Seeing that Quan Zhilong didn't express his opinion, Jeavill thought that after all, he had been married to Jingrong for so many years and he really loved Quan Xijing, so she couldn't say it. Jeavill was protected too well by her family since she was a child. She had never suffered any hardship or setbacks. She also maintained a pure nature in the entertainment industry. Naturally, she didn't want to make things difficult for her sweetheart. She immediately stepped forward, rushed over, and said to Jingrong, "Senior Xue Jingrong, I know it's not good to say this, but you don't love Oppa, why don't you let him go free and let him find his own happiness? You can also find your own life..."
When Taiyang heard the girl's bold remarks, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Quan Zhilong reflexively. Quan Zhilong didn't seem to care about what Jeavill said. Instead, he seemed very nervous about her behavior. He finally couldn't sit still anymore and hurried over, afraid to hear the girl's shocking remarks again. Jing Rong looked at Jeavill with a smile: "How do you know we don't have love? Can you tell whether there is love or not just by your eyes? Or do you think true love is invincible? Do you think that because you love Quan Zhilong, others must give way to you?"
Jingrong bombarded Jeavill with questions, and she was a little confused and silent for a moment. Before she could gather her strength, Yang Yang pulled her out without saying anything: "Jingrong and his family have something to say, so we won't disturb them..."
Jeavill was still struggling: "Sun-sama, Oppa..."
Jing Rong looked back at the girl's reluctant eyes, then turned his head to glance at Quan Zhilong: "Not bad, a girl who is worthy of being your daughter is showing her love so enthusiastically."
Jingrong's expressionless face was too oppressive. Quan Xijing found an excuse to go play with Taeyang and ran away, leaving Quan Zhilong in a panic as he faced the calm and unyielding Mrs. Quan. The words "ceding land, paying compensation, and kneeling on the washboard" flashed through his mind...
I won't go into detail about how Mr. Quan finally managed to coax Mrs. Quan into a happy mood. However, Mr. Quan was clearly adept at using any topic. That evening, after the harmony exercise, Mr. Quan hugged Mrs. Quan and began chatting. The conversation turned to the incident that morning, and Mr. Quan said with some resentment, "You see, it's because you never want to express your feelings that this misunderstanding happened."
Jing Rong could only laugh: "How can I express it? In front of that little girl?"
Quan Zhilong didn't care about Jingrong's aloofness at all, and continued to argue: "If you had told me that I had enough confidence in myself and was confident in public, would you have misunderstood that our relationship was not good?"
Jing Rong stretched out his arms, hooked them around Quan Zhilong's neck, and whispered in his ear: "Dear, how can I express it to satisfy you?"
"Just say those three words." G-Dragon became embarrassed.
Jing Rong pushed him away: "Go to bed early."
Quan Zhilong immediately clung to her, hugged her and shouted: "Wife, dear, baby, just say it..."
Jing Rong sighed in a very calm tone: "Does it make any difference whether you say it or not? Don't you know? Or... are you doubting it yourself?" Jing Rong remembered that when the girl said the first sentence to her in the morning, Yang Yang was subconsciously nervous, and her heart felt a little subtle. Yang Yang was indeed the person who knew her best, but it had been ten years. If there was no love, how could she indulge a man like this and spend ten years being so close to him without feeling bored at all?
There could be many reasons for the initial motive, but who could be so heartless? This man, so uninhibited and unrestrained, treated her with such care and attention, treating her like a treasure, putting all his love and affection on her and their daughter. He had been gentle and considerate for ten years, and... because he didn't want to be apart from her for even a moment, he used his daughter as a shield and did all these ridiculous and foolish things, thinking no one knew. How could she not be moved?
How can I not be tempted?
Quan Zhilong understood what Jingrong was referring to, but subconsciously kept it deep in his heart. He hugged Jingrong from behind, buried his head in her neck, and said in a muffled voice, "I just want to hear you say it yourself, those three words."
Jing Rong opened his eyes and looked at him for a long time. Finally, he obeyed and whispered, "I love you."
Although he knew that they loved each other, it didn't mean the same thing as when she said it herself. Quan Zhilong hadn't felt this excited for a long time. It made him even more restless than when he was on the Grammy Awards stage. Quan Zhilong hugged Jingrong tightly and whispered in her ear over and over again: "I love you, Jingrong, I love you, I love you..."
The author has something to say: I feel like I’m so handsome that I have no friends, right? If there’s another sequel, the story will be perfect.
