Peninsula: Starting with forming a group with the nation's little sister

Chapter 88 - Not even once! [Please continue reading!]

The dinner ended in a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

My parents knew the principle that "this place is not a good place to stay."

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, using the excuse that it was getting late, they grabbed Huang Lizhi, who still wanted to stay on the front lines to watch the drama unfold, and hurriedly left the villa.

Before they left, they gave their son a look that said, "Good luck to you."

Lin Yuan was so frightened that he hid in the kitchen, using the excuse of washing dishes to dawdle, not daring to go near the living room at all. His ears twitched slightly, trying to eavesdrop on the sounds coming from the living room.

Only Mieko and Lee Ji-eun remained at the dining table.

Lee Ji-eun had already stood up, preparing to say some polite words and then take her leave, but Mihoko gently tugged at her sleeve.

"Ms. Li, if you don't mind, let's talk alone." Mihoko's voice was still gentle, but now it had lost some of its previous sharpness and gained more sincerity.

Lee Ji-eun raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Mieko with some wariness.

Seeing her slightly tired but calm expression, he finally sat back down: "What do you want to talk about?"

Mihoko poured a glass of warm water for Lee Ji-eun herself and then sat down next to her.

She looked down at her protruding belly and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I was indeed a bit deliberate at the dinner table today."

But please understand, a pregnant woman, when facing the deepest, most cherished memory in her husband's heart, will instinctively think of their happy times, like a thorn in her heart.

"The white moonlight deepest in his heart?" Lee Ji-eun paused for a moment, then turned her head away with a self-deprecating smile. "Right now, he only has you and the child in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact me even once in all this time."

Mihoko turned her head and looked at Lee Ji-eun seriously. "Miss Lee, do you know? In his dreams, the name he calls out the most is still yours."

Lee Ji-eun felt as if her heart had been struck hard, and her hand holding the water glass trembled slightly.

Mihoko sighed softly and said helplessly, "He seems carefree and always cracking jokes, but he's actually more insecure than anyone else."

He always felt that not being able to give you a happy ending was his biggest regret.

Even now, whenever he sees news about you, his eyes involuntarily soften, then turn into a deep sense of guilt.

Mihoko reached out and gently covered Lee Ji-eun's cold hand: "I love him more than I love myself. So I don't want to see him live with this regret for the rest of his life."

Ms. Li, I don't mind if my child has another mother in the future, as long as he is happy, the family will be complete.

He's always been thinking of you; he's never forgotten. So... for his sake, and for your long-held belief, stay by his side.

Listening to Mihoko's heartfelt confession, Lee Ji-eun was completely stunned.

She initially thought that Mieko was a highly skilled "vixen," but she never expected that this woman's pride and magnanimity stemmed entirely from her deep love for Lin Yuan.

In comparison, my own stubbornness and awkwardness seem rather petty.

However, she found it difficult to accept the situation of two women sharing one husband.

Looking into Mieko's sincere eyes and feeling the warmth from the back of her hand, Lee Ji-eun's grievances completely crumbled at that moment.

She grasped Mieko's hand tightly and said reluctantly, "This is so unfair to you. You'll suffer."

Mihoko shook her head bitterly and looked down at her stomach.

Lee Ji-eun seemed to see the love that belonged to a mother.

"No, it was I who took him away. He, however, loves you."

"Is it worth it?" Lee Ji-eun asked rhetorically.

"It's worth it!" Mihoko looked deeply at Lin Yuan, her tone firm: "Because I love him, and I love our child."

I don't mind if he still has feelings for someone else, as long as I and our child are part of those feelings.

Lee Ji-eun felt her worldview shattered. Is this what a wealthy family is like? It's utterly absurd.

Even Mieko, the eldest princess of Sony, said in front of her that she would accept two women sharing one husband, a statement that shattered her long-held conviction.

Thinking about the power struggles among wealthy families that often appear in the news and on television, she seemed to understand a little.

Lee Ji-eun sat there silently for a long time, her mind filled with images of her happy life with Lin Yuan.

Should I listen to this woman and accept this...life of a chaebol?

In the kitchen, Lin Yuan had washed those bowls five times in total, and it felt like he had scrubbed the plates until they were practically peeling.

Just as he was debating whether to go in and get a rag to continue mopping the floor, the kitchen door was opened.

Mieko stood at the door, looking at him with a half-smile: "Alright, stop washing, you've practically worn the dishes out."

Miss Li isn't leaving tonight. I've already prepared the guest room; could you go see if there's anything I can help with?

"Huh? No, we're not leaving?" Lin Yuan stood there dumbfounded, his mind blank.

"What do you mean 'huh'? Go on." Mieko rolled her eyes at him, and as she turned away, a tear rolled down her cheek.

Lin Yuan walked out of the kitchen in a daze and saw Li Zhi'en sitting on the sofa.

The arrogant look on her face hadn't completely faded, but the coldness and resistance in her eyes when she looked at him were gone, replaced by a long-lost, sparkling tenderness.

Lin Yuan led Li Zhi'en upstairs, with only one thought in his mind: although the process was thrilling, it seemed that there was really hope for the future.

Although it's unclear what the two talked about, at least Lee Ji-eun wasn't as resistant to being around him anymore, which is a good thing!

The guest room is right next to the master bedroom, separated by a study.

Lee Ji-eun glanced around casually, her gaze finally settling on Lin Yuan.

She slowly approached Lin Yuan, her high heels making a clattering sound like a vengeful ghost.

Similarly, Lin Yuan's heart was beating rhythmically with the footsteps, and he kept backing away until he hit the wall and stopped.

"Ji-eun, what's wrong with you?"

He crossed his arms in front of his chest and turned his head away, not daring to look at her.

Seeing his timid appearance, Lee Ji-eun felt a surge of pride: This is the aura of IU, unlike that woman who speaks recklessly and spouts nonsense.

Bah! Shameless! I won't listen to her. I'll make that scoundrel come chasing after me.

*Pfft*

Lee Ji-eun pressed her hands against the wall, blocking him in the middle, and slowly moved her head closer until there was only a fingernail's width of space between them.

Lin Yuan could already feel the warmth emanating from her body, and unconsciously swallowed. "No...don't do this, I...I can't take it."

Lee Ji-eun looked down and saw that her breasts were bulging.

???

"Haven't you slept with her in so long?"

Lin Yuan nodded shyly.

Lee Ji-eun seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and she turned his head to face her. "Look me in the eyes and say it again, you guys really haven't done it even once in all this time?"

"No...no!"

"What about kissing?"

"Huh? That counts?"

"Never mind whether it counts or not, whether it exists or not."

Lin Yuan nodded fearfully.
