Chapter 23, exclusively released...
Just laugh it off...
Forget it, I can't laugh at all.
Quan Zhilong came to comfort Jiang Yalin, but ended up comforting himself and becoming withdrawn. He really didn't know what kind of impression he had left on her.
However, he wasn't really angry. In fact, he felt that Jiang Yalin's willingness to say such things to him meant that she was close to him. Otherwise, why wouldn't she say such things to others?
Jiang Yalin: ......
"Alright, you seem to have a good attitude, so I won't say anything more. Just be yourself."
Watching Quan Zhilong about to leave after speaking, Jiang Yalin breathed a sigh of relief, because she felt that if he didn't leave, she would be burned through by two burning gazes on her back.
Kang Ji-won... is so annoying!!!
Because of the fans' online antics, Kang Ji-won successfully turned her suspicions back to herself. Luckily, she's been particularly busy lately, otherwise, with the three female leads taking turns on stage, she would definitely have figured something out.
Compared to the other three female leads, this fourth female lead doesn't give off a very good impression. I'm really afraid that she might do something irrational after learning certain things.
Although she loves watching dramas, she has to be careful not to ruin Kwon Ji-yong's career. After all, he's supposed to be a world superstar. Who knows if she can still get some luck from him if he doesn't become a world superstar? She doesn't dare to gamble on that. So she cares about Kwon Ji-yong's career even more than he does.
She, Jiang Yalin, will absolutely not allow anyone to ruin Quan Zhilong's career!!!
"You two seem to have a good relationship. He was quite worried about what happened to you..."
Today, Jiang Zhiyuan, who has become a gofer, suddenly appeared behind Jiang Yalin like a ghost and said this in a low voice.
If I hadn't known that she was watching me the whole time, her sudden attack would have been quite frightening.
Turning his head, he looked at Jiang Zhiyuan speechlessly. Did this girl really not know that she was not likable at all? She had even ruined the original owner of this body's good reputation because of this day.
"Isn't it normal for him to care about me? After all, I'm his assistant. If I really leave, won't he have to get used to a new assistant?"
It sounded perfectly natural, and Kang Ah-rin's reaction didn't seem wrong at all, but Kang Ji-won just felt something was off. She felt that Kwon Ji-yong was being too concerned about Kang Ah-rin.
Are they really okay? Kang Ji-won has a feeling they're secretly dating behind her back, but she can't find any evidence. She's furious, but there's nothing she can do...
Jiang Yalin was too lazy to argue with the person in front of her. It was obvious that she was already stuck in her own beliefs and wouldn't listen to any explanations. However, she wouldn't tell the other person that Quan Zhilong had someone else in order to prove that she was no longer dating him.
While some people are unhappy about YG Entertainment's apparent indifference towards Kwon Ji-yong having a beautiful assistant, most are indifferent.
After all, the people in this circle are the same few people, most of whom are veterans of the fandom. They're used to this kind of thing, and they even secretly think that if the pretty assistant's eyesight isn't bad, she might choose to date the eldest member of Bigbang rather than the leader, since they're only comparing looks.
However, it's important to understand that humans are diverse species; some are rational while others are not. But so far, things haven't reached that point, so Jiang Yalin is still quite safe.
After another busy half month, Jiang Yalin really felt that working in the entertainment industry, whether in front of or behind the scenes, was really inhuman. It was exhausting. Even though she didn't need to handle external communications and only needed to be responsible for Quan Zhilong, she was still dizzy from being so busy.
So she desperately needed food to replenish her energy, and as soon as she got off work, she rushed to the Chinese restaurant near the company.
When she entered the Chinese restaurant this time, she was surprised to find that the business had really improved. It wasn't packed with customers, but it was much better than before. At least when she went in, there were no seats left to choose from, only a corner seat.
As soon as Jiang Yalin sat down, a waiter came over with the menu. Perhaps because there were more people, Fang Zhixia called the waiter over and ordered a dish of minced pork and eggplant, pickled pepper beef, a seaweed soup, and a bowl of rice, quickly finishing her order.
While waiting to order, Jiang Yalin casually glanced around the restaurant. It was very much in line with the Korean culture; every table had at least two people. It was rare to see someone like her alone. Because she was so rare, her absence attracted a lot of attention. These gazes were varied, but most were filled with curiosity, perhaps wondering if Jiang Yalin was unpopular, which was why she was eating alone.
Just then, Jiang Yalin's eyes widened as she looked down at the door. She spotted Quan Zhilong, who had just said goodbye to her, leading Jin Zhen'er into the restaurant.
Quan Zhilong walked in fully armed, of course. As for why she was able to recognize him at a glance, it was simply because her eyes were like a ruler, and she recognized him immediately through the thick covering.
The moment Jiang Yalin saw this guy, she had only one thought in her mind—is this guy crazy?
Doesn't he know how popular he is lately?
The song "Lies" made BigBang an instant sensation in South Korea. Under such circumstances, bringing his girlfriend to a restaurant with a decent number of customers, is he afraid that others will not know that he has a girlfriend?
Jiang Yalin felt a headache coming on. Of course, the person with the most headache was probably her manager, since the manager was in charge of the artist. She called her assistant, but she was really just a nanny and couldn't manage anything at all.
never mind.....
Kwon Ji-yong probably didn't expect that the restaurant would be so popular after so long, so after seeing that the restaurant was packed, he hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to pack some food to take home and eat it.
At that very moment, Kwon Ji-yong happened to see Kang Ah-rin sitting in the corner, head down, chatting on her phone. After hesitating for a moment, he finally walked over.
Can we share a table?
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died...
She thought that if she hid and didn't let him see her, he would give up the idea of eating here. But who could have imagined that his eyesight was so sharp that he could see her from the doorway? Jiang Yalin started to think about what to eat to ruin her eyesight so that he wouldn't be able to spot her in the first second in the future.
Of course, this thought was just a joke, and only in her mind. Jiang Yalin would never ruin someone's eyes because of this one incident; she wasn't that evil. Maybe in a few years...
"Sure, I'm alone anyway."
With their consent, Kwon Ji-yong sat down opposite Kim Jin-ah. Looking at the two people in front of her, Kang Ah-rin suddenly became less happy about the food that was about to be served.
"Does Jiang Yalin like this store too? Zhilong just kept telling me that he knew about this store because of you."
Kim Jin-ah sat down and started a conversation, since it would be really strange if she didn't talk.
"Yes, because I really like Chinese food, and the owner of this restaurant is really good at cooking, I'll come and try it whenever I have time..."
Please, sister, she prefers awkward silence to forcing conversation when you don't know her well, so could you please just shut up...?
"Really? Then I'll have to look forward to it. Is it really as delicious as you and Zhilong said?"
"Nuna, would I need to lie to you? It's really delicious. If I weren't so busy with work, I would really like to eat here all day long."
Quan Zhilong joined in at this opportune moment. Just listening to their conversation, Jiang Yalin felt that it was really strange. However, their strangeness had been going on for more than a day or two. They were probably waiting for a trigger to explode, so that the two could break up naturally.
Of course, this is all predicated on the assumption that Kim Jin-ah will not pester him and will let go readily. However, judging from her current state, this may just be wishful thinking.
"What would you two like to eat?"
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Yalin looked up and saw Fang Zhixia smiling at Quan Zhilong.
As expected, she, as an NPC, is not worthy of the female lead's personal appearance. Only Kwon Ji-yong, as the male lead, is worthy of the female lead's personal appearance.
"The president's business is doing very well lately."
Kwon Ji-yong is someone who is very proactive when he wants to communicate with others. In addition, he really likes Fang Zhixia's cooking skills, so he said such a thing as soon as he saw her come over to order food.
"Thanks to you, business has been pretty good lately. What would you like to eat? It's on me today. If you're satisfied, Kwon Ji-yong, please recommend it to your friends."
This statement was perfectly watertight, at least Kim Jin-ah, sitting to the side, wouldn't have any suspicions about it, and would simply assume that the other party was giving him preferential treatment because of Kwon Ji-yong's identity.
Of course, there is a prerequisite: the restaurant owner must not look at Kwon Ji-yong with such a bright gaze, and must restrain the undisguised affection in her eyes. Otherwise, she really won't suspect anything.
