Chapter 38 Don't be too clingy with a man...
After a long-awaited meal together, Kwon Ji-yong took a sip of ginseng chicken soup, turned to Han Yoon-sung, and asked, "Are you going to a public party?"
Han Yunxing was still sleepy, her mind blank, sipping her soup slowly. It took her a while to remember which event Kwon Ji-yong was referring to.
"I don't have time~" Han Yunxing pouted and pretended to wipe away tears as she looked at Kwon Jiyong: "How many days will Oppa be staying? I'll go see the summer exhibition."
Alright, hearing this, Kwon Ji-yong also followed Han Yoon-sung's example, wiping away non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers.
"No time."
"I will stay in Seoul for two more days."
Kwon Ji-yong returned to Korea to attend a Chanel public party, and he missed the brand's summer exhibition in Seoul afterwards.
Kwon Ji-yong had almost finished eating, so he put down his spoon, propped his head up, and looked at Han Yoon-sung next to him.
Han Yunxing was clearly not fully awake yet; after exchanging a few words, she immediately fell into a daze again.
A spoonful of soup, raise your hand, blow on it, open your mouth, and drink it; a piece of meat, raise your hand, open your mouth, and chew...
Pfft, the amplitude of their hand raises is almost the same.
Han Yoon-sung's soulless eating made Kwon Ji-yong laugh.
"Our Yunxing is like a little robot, so cute~"
Kwon Ji-yong laughed and then rested his head on his arm, while his other hand reached out towards Han Yoon-sung's head, ready to pounce.
This guy's sense of humor is a mystery. Han Yoon-sung was jolted awake by the laughter. Noticing Kwon Ji-yong's little scheme, she gave him a "bang" with the hand that wasn't holding the cutlery.
Kwon Ji-yong's eyes widened, his raised hand suddenly fell, and he said in a low voice, "Sniper, you have to take responsibility for my hand."
Seeing his dramatic act, Han Yunxing pursed her lips to suppress a laugh, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"I'm going to Kalin Tower to help Oppa find Senzu Beans..."[1]
Han Yunxing couldn't hold back her laughter as she spoke, bursting into uncontrollable laughter. She buried her face in her hands, feeling incredibly embarrassed. What was she saying?
"Haha, Senzu beans? Kiyo~"
Kwon Ji-yong was charmed by Han Yoon-sung's quirky thought process, and his eyes welled up with a thin layer of mist when he smiled.
Han Yunxing's car arrived first. Seeing Kwon Ji-yong and Iye having a long-awaited parent-child interaction not far away, she walked over and patted the kitten's head.
Kwon Ji-yong just overheard the phone call and knows that Han Yoon-sung is about to leave.
Thinking about how long it would be before they could meet again in person, he playfully placed Han Yunxing's hand on his head, tilted his head back, and said to Han Yunxing, who was leaning slightly forward, "Yunxing, try to think about me more often~"
Startled by the sudden movement, Iye gently jumped onto the shelf next to her, stretched out a paw to lick her fur, and patted her tail lightly, looking down at the two of them.
"To be fair," Han Yunxing said, recalling her conversation with Lee Joo-hyuk yesterday. A dimple appeared on her lips as she smiled. She felt the soft hair beneath her hand and stroked it as she had with Iye. "Okay."

Han Yunxing was in a good mood when she finished work in the evening. Han Mingyou's car would arrive in a while, so she sat in a chair and scrolled through her phone.
Photos from Chanel's public party began circulating online, and upon clicking on the pictures, Han Yoon-sung was drawn to Kwon Ji-yong's look.
Hmm, this hat and bag are nice.
Just as she was thinking about trying it out in Kwon Ji-yong's walk-in closet, Han Yoon-sung sensed someone approaching her.
She looked up from her phone screen and saw Jiang Canxi walking over with two cups of coffee.
"Wow, thank you!" Han Yunxing took the cup from Jiang Canxi and patted the back of the chair next to her to indicate that he should sit down: "Aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep if you drink coffee tonight?"
"Noona! I'm holding milk." Kang Chan-hee shook the cup in her hand, urging Han Yoon-sung to take a sip.
"Noona and GD are really close." Kang Chan-hee remarked as she glanced at the photo on Han Yoon-sung's phone.
Han Yunxing held the cup in both hands. Hearing Jiang Canxi's words, she looked up at the starlight in the sky, her eyes filled with gentle lake water: "Yes, we have a very good relationship."
Her voice was soft, like a bubble floating in the air, ready to burst without being poked.
It is precisely because of their good relationship that Han Yunxing is willing to accept this mediocre situation.
However, it's quite interesting to use the push-pull method to deal with Kwon Ji-yong.
Thinking about how Kwon Ji-yong had subtly asked her yesterday what series of emojis she was using, and how he almost directly said that she had been replying to messages rather perfunctorily lately, Han Yoon-sung's eyebrows relaxed and the corners of her mouth turned up.
When Jiang Canxi's manager came looking for someone, he saw his artist smiling foolishly and looking at Han Yunxing next to him.
After he greeted Han Yunxing, Jiang Canxi's manager returned to the car with a serious expression: "Canxi, you can't be dating right now, understand?"
Jiang Canxi didn't expect her manager to say these things to her, and scratched her head as she replied, "I know."
etc…
A blush rose to Jiang Canxi's face: "Yes, I like Yoon Sung-no-na, but definitely not..."
Just as the manager breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Canxi added, "How could I possibly be worthy of Noona?"
The agent's eyes widened: "What's wrong with him?! I have excellent taste! He's so handsome! And his acting is superb!"
"Yunxing is beautiful, sings well, and acts well..."
"The key is that he's incredibly easygoing!"
After Jiang Canxi forcefully typed in compliments for Han Yunxing, the manager's anxiety finally died down. He had been overthinking things lately, secretly keeping a close watch on her, never expecting that Jiang Canxi was actually a fan of the female celebrity.
"Brother! Why aren't you saying anything?"
The agent, with deadpan eyes, placed his hands on the steering wheel, ignoring the blond head that was leaning close to the driver's seat.
The light turned green, and he stepped on the gas and drove toward his residence.
*
The schedule was busy, and the reunion was always too short. Han Yunxing and Kwon Ji-yong exchanged a quick glance, which was their farewell.
Han Yunxing's life still revolves around three points: home, work, and living. But life is never static.
"Unnie? Really?"
Lying on the bed in the beauty salon that day, Han Yunxing was stunned by Zheng Chengyou's sudden words.
"Really? Whatever! I've already booked you to sing me a congratulatory song."
They had booked a private room for two, and now, hearing Han Yunxing's shocked tone, Zheng Chengyou awkwardly turned his head towards the person next to him.
Although he spoke very decisively, Jung Sung-woo added, "There will be time, right?"
"I'll sing!" Han Yunxing snapped out of her shock. "It was just so sudden, unnie. Is he good to you?"
The last time I met Kim Sung-ji was in March when we were filming "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook." We weren't even together back then, but in just four months, our relationship has progressed to the next level.
Han Yoon-sung turned her head to look at Jung Sung-woo beside her and said slowly, "Unnie, are you happy?"
Jung Sung-woo had a face mask on, but upon hearing his sister's concern, his usually clear eyes lit up with a sparkle as he smiled and said, "I'm very happy."
"Sigh, I regret not knowing his feelings sooner; I missed so much time."
Han Yoon-sung was feeling inexplicably sad about her best friend getting married, but after hearing Jung Sung-woo's sentiments, she felt an apology towards Kim Sung-chi: "Unnie, I always thought you two had a mutual crush on each other."
"And it's super obvious, even male leads in TV dramas don't fly back and forth to find you like this."
“How would I understand if you don’t tell me?” Zheng Chengyou said matter-of-factly. “I thought you were on a business trip and just happened to see me.”
"Also, did I have any obvious feelings for him before? We've always been friends."
Jung Sung-woo snorted and began to complain to Han Yoon-sung about how they decided to be together.
“I had no idea what to do at the time. I was planning to get married this year, so I started going on blind dates. I didn’t expect to fail on my first blind date.” Zheng Chengyou exaggeratedly gestured with his hands: “You have no idea how terrifying it is when two people sit down and introduce themselves, and a guy runs over and sits next to you and watches you cry.”
"You cried?"
"Well, thankfully it was at night." Zheng Chengyou still felt speechless when he recalled the incident.
You might call Jin Shengchi a coward, but he went to someone else's blind date and got really close to them.
If you call him brave, he's never been straightforward in all these years, and even his actions of ruining other people's blind dates are inappropriate and manipulative.
"After I apologized to my blind date and saw him off, Kim Sung-chi started crying even harder." Jung Sung-woo was holding the drunk man at the time and wanted to just quit and pay the bill and leave.
"So, Yunxing, based on my experience, don't get too carried away by a man's persistent pursuit."
Seeing Han Yoon-sung's ears perked up, listening intently to him, Jung Sung-woo half-complained and half-sweetly gave Han Yoon-sung a heads-up.
"Unnie, but you're smiling so happily." Han Yunxing immediately saw through the insincerity of the person next to her.
The two finished their skin treatment while chatting and laughing.
Watching Jung Sung-woo being picked up by Kim Sung-chi, Han Yoon-sung smiled and shook her head, then sent a message to Han Do-eun.
[Oppa! Sungwoo unnie is getting married to Sungji!]
The person on the other end was probably still inspecting the construction site. Han Yunxing's phone only vibrated after she got into the car driven by Han Mingyou.
【？？？】
[…Oppa, didn't you realize that Seongji likes unnie?]
【？？？】
Han Daoen really couldn't understand it. At first, he thought that Kim Sung-chi liked Jung Sung-woo, but later the two of them said to the outside world that they were just good friends. After so many years, Han Daoen just felt that he had been overthinking it.
Now, upon suddenly receiving news that the two were getting married in a flash, Han Daoen snorted inwardly: My premonition was right after all.
The brother and sister exchanged information, and then Han Daoen was called away again. He hurriedly told her when he would return and then did not reply.
After returning to the company, Han Yunxing started another round of team meetings.
"Yunxing, let's go through the main entrance later. The children are waiting for you downstairs," Shen Lina said to Han Yunxing as she came up from downstairs and opened the door.
Han Yunxing, who had been staring at the computer, looked up and blinked in distress: "Unnie, is it sinful to eat stir-fried rice cakes at this time?"
The stars gathered downstairs chatted about their idol who hadn't been in the news lately except for work photos, while repeatedly glancing at the warmly lit window on the sixth floor.
When they saw someone waving at them, the group thought it was security guards coming to shoo them away.
Just as they were feeling disappointed that they wouldn't see Yunxing today, they saw Yingying's face peek out from behind them, smiling and waving at them.
"Yunxing ahhhhh!"
Han Yunxing tapped her finger lightly, making a shushing gesture.
"Keep your voices down, stars! I'm treating you to a late-night snack behind everyone's back!"
After the food was distributed, Han Yunxing and her fans squatted by the roadside, eating and chatting.
"I miss you! You never stream!"
"Where's the song?! Where's the comeback?!"
Han Yunxing coughed twice and secretly glanced at her manager and assistant standing next to her.
"There will be good news." Han Yunxing, under the wistful gaze of her manager, acted as a gossip.
Upon hearing this news, fans were overjoyed, but Han Yunxing had to remind everyone to calm down.
"It's still a secret between me and the stars~"
Han Yunxing extended her little finger and hooked it around the finger of the person next to her.
"There's also a live stream!"
One fan reminded Han Yunxing, earning admiring glances from the others.
Han Yunxing felt she hadn't met her fans' expectations, even for a simple live stream, they had to remind her: "Sometimes we finish work very late, is it okay to still do a live stream?"
Seeing Han Yunxing suddenly looking downcast, the fans realized what was happening and started praising her for what she had been doing lately.
"Yunxing, you're our vitamin!"
"I'd watch Yunxing's live stream no matter how late it is!"
"Yunxing, there's something called replay~"
The straightforward replay sister received bursts of laughter. Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Han Yunxing personally helped Han Mingyou collect the trash and watched the fans take a car home.
