Volume 4: Counterattack: Bright Star Road Chapter 267 A Man's Ultimate Ideal
At noon, at Jiang Zhentai's home, sisters Lin Yuner and Lin Xiuxiu prepared a table full of delicious dishes to entertain Yuan Xudong.
Everyone sat around the table and ate in silence. The atmosphere at the table was a bit awkward. Yuan Xudong was Jiang Zhentai's boss, but Jiang Zhentai was Yuan Xudong's brother-in-law. This relationship was indeed a bit complicated. Yuan Xudong was embarrassed to call Jiang Zhentai brother-in-law, and Jiang Zhentai didn't dare to really ask Yuan Xudong to call him brother-in-law. He had to lower his head, eat, pretend to be deaf and dumb and let things take their course.
Of course, compared to this somewhat awkward interpersonal relationship , Yuan Xudong has another more troublesome issue, that is, he was only concerned about his own comfort last night, and slept all night with the beautiful Lin Yoona in his arms, without considering whether Jiang Zhentai would tell others about his relationship with Lin Yoona. If Lee Elijah or Song Eun-hee knew about it, Yuan Xudong felt that he might be chopped off and become the Makoto Ito of the Republic of Korea. He might even be made into a film and television drama by Korean bigwigs after his death, and used as a negative example to publicize how corrupt and incompetent the prosecutors of the Republic of Korea are. How can they manage the huge Republic of Korea when they can't even tame a few women?
"Xudong Oppa, this is the sweet and sour pork ribs I made. How do you like it?"
Sitting side by side with Yuan Xudong, Lin Yoona picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into his bowl, smiling gently.
"Okay, thank you Yoona!"
Yuan Xudong glanced at Lin Yuna and smiled.
"You're welcome, Xudong Oppa, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"
Lin Yuna smiled gently.
"good!"
Yuan Xudong picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs and tasted them. They tasted really good. He didn't expect Lin Yuner to have a talent for cooking. While eating the sweet and sour pork ribs, he looked at Lin Yuner and smiled:
"It tastes great, Yoona. I didn't expect you could make such delicious sweet and sour pork ribs!"
"That's good. If it tastes good, eat more. I'll make it for you every day, okay?"
Lin Yuner picked up two more pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs for Yuan Xudong and smiled gently, which made Lin Xiuxiu, who was sitting opposite her, roll her eyes. Obviously, she made all these dishes by herself, and Lin Yuner did nothing but make trouble. She even scrambled the eggs and burned them. Of course, she knew that her sister wanted to leave a good impression on Yuan Xudong and had no bad intentions. She could learn these things from her slowly, so she simply did not expose her in front of her. Unfortunately, Jiang Yuner, who was sitting next to her, said without restraint:
"Aunt, mom said it's wrong to lie. You'll be tongue-twisted by the King of Hell. These dishes were obviously made by mom alone. You don't know how to cook at all. Why do you say you made this sweet and sour pork ribs?"
"Um?"
Hearing Jiang Yuner tearing down her stage, Lin Yuner glared at her and said:
"I made this sweet and sour pork ribs with your mother, okay?"
"You're lying. You don't know how to make sweet and sour pork ribs. This is the sweet and sour pork ribs my mother made. I can taste the flavor!"
Jiang Yuner stared back at Lin Yuner without showing any weakness. The two girls, one big and one small, confronted each other like fighting cocks. Lin Xiuxiu, who was standing beside them, knocked on the bowl with chopsticks to warn and mediate:
"Okay, both of you shut up and eat quietly. Can't you see there are guests here?"
"Got it, Mom!"
After looking at her mother Lin Xiuxiu, Jiang Yoona lowered her head, picked up rice with chopsticks, and stared at Lin Yoona opposite her with her big black and white eyes, as if she was saying with her eyes that her aunt was lying.
Looking at the cute and well-behaved Jiang Yuner, Yuan Xudong gave her a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and said with a smile:
"Yun'er is so good. If you want to be a good girl that everyone loves when you grow up, you must never lie, okay?"
"Okay, got it!"
Jiang Yuner nodded vigorously, and while eating the sweet and sour pork ribs that Yuan Xudong gave her, she looked at him and smiled sweetly:
"Thank you, Oppa!"
"You are not allowed to call him oppa, you have to call him uncle, okay?"
Hearing that Jiang Yuner called Yuan Xudong Oppa just like herself, Lin Yuner glared at her and tried to correct her.
"Just call me Oppa, just call me Oppa!"
Jiang Yuner glanced at and explained with a pout:
"Mom said that if someone is as old as dad, he should be called uncle, and if he is younger than dad, he should be called oppa. Oppa is so young, so of course I have to call him oppa!"
After that, without waiting for Lin Yuner to refute, Jiang Yuner looked at her parents and said:
"Dad, Mom, am I right?"
Jiang Zhentai, who was caught in the crossfire, chose to keep silent. Lin Xiuxiu glanced at Yuan Xudong and Lin Yuner, then looked at her daughter Jiang Yuner and said:
"Listen to your aunt and just call Prosecutor Yuan uncle!"
"But why?"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Jiang Yuner looked at her mother Lin Xiuxiu curiously:
"Oppa is so young, why should I call him uncle?"
"Why so many whys?"
After glaring at her daughter Jiang Yuner, Lin Xiuxiu gave the final explanation directly:
"Just call me whatever I tell you to call me, do you hear me?"
"I heard it. Really, why didn't you just say that earlier?"
Giving her mother Lin Xiuxiu a blank look, Jiang Yuner looked at Yuan Xudong and said happily:
"Uncle, thank you for buying me the Barbie doll and iPhone tablet. I have wanted them for a long time, but my dad refused to buy them for me. What a shame! He clearly promised to buy them for me, but he didn't keep his word!"
"Hey, Jiang Yuner, who said I didn't buy it for you? It was obviously your mother who didn't let me buy it, right?"
Hearing his daughter wrongly accusing him, Jiang Zhentai immediately spoke up to explain. Seeing that the father and daughter were singing the same tune, like a double act, Lin Xiuxiu couldn't help but roll her eyes and said:
"You only get so little salary every month. How can I buy her an iPhone? Will the whole family be starving for the next month?"
Hearing Lin Xiuxiu's outburst, Jiang Zhentai and Jiang Yuner both fell silent. Mother is the most important person in the world. Looking at this noisy and warm family, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but feel envious. While everyone was not paying attention, he leaned over to Lin Yuner's ear and whispered with a smile:
"Yoona, can we have a baby too?"
"What?"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xudong would say this at the dinner table. Lin Yuner's face suddenly turned red. She glanced at her sister and her family across from her, then leaned towards Yuan Xudong and whispered shyly:
"This matter is not up to me alone, you...you..."
"Me what?"
Seeing Lin Yuna hesitant, Yuan Xudong asked in a low voice.
"You...you have to work hard too. And...there's also a house...I..."
"I see!"
Before Lin Yuner could finish, Yuan Xudong smiled softly in her ear:
"How about this, I don't have time, so you ask your sister to accompany you to find a house in Jiangnan District, and when we find a suitable time, we can move in together, okay?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say this, Lin Yoona was extremely happy and felt that her life had become perfect in an instant. Houses in Gangnam District are the dream of almost all Koreans, especially young people wandering in Seoul. You should know that half of the people in Seoul rent houses for a long time. Their biggest dream is to have a house of their own, even if it is a small house of 30 or 40 square meters. Unfortunately, many people can't afford these dozens of square meters even if they work hard all their lives, let alone high-end apartments in Gangnam District, which are luxury houses worth billions of won.
Thinking this in her heart, Lin Yuner looked at Yuan Xudong and asked in a low voice:
"Oppa, then...should we rent a house or just buy a small apartment?"
"What do you think?"
Seeing the desire in Lin Yuner's eyes, Yuan Xudong sighed inwardly. No matter whether it was a star or an ordinary person, whether it was Chinese or Korean, it seemed that everyone wanted a house. No wonder the housing prices were getting more and more expensive. If everyone wanted something, how could the capitalists not raise the price? Sighing in his heart, Yuan Xudong looked at Lin Yuner and smiled:
"Just take care of these things as you wish. I have no objection. There are still several tens of millions of won in the card. Leave several tens of millions of won for me to use in an emergency, and give you the remaining 2.3 billion. That should be enough, right?"
"That's enough, thank you Xudong Oppa!"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xudong would be so generous to her, almost handing over all his assets to her to manage. Touched, Lin Yuner hugged Yuan Xudong's neck in front of the whole family, kissed him on the cheek twice and said happily:
"Oppa, thank you, you are so nice to me!"
"Hey, Lin Yuna, what are you doing?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuner would kiss Yuan Xudong at the dinner table. Lin Xiuxiu covered her daughter Jiang Yuner's eyes and looked at Lin Yuner and scolded her:
"Lin Yuna, come on, could you be more reserved?"
"Sister, I'm moving out!"
"What?"
"I'm moving out!"
Lin Yuner hugged Yuan Xudong's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and looked at her sister and brother-in-law opposite her and said happily:
"Xudong Oppa said that we are moving to Gangnam District and buying a small apartment!"
"Really?"
When Lin Xiuxiu heard that her sister was going to move to Gangnam District, Seoul was so small, she did not feel any pain of separation. Instead, she was sincerely happy for her sister:
"Yoon-ah, that's great. Gangnam is the best place to live in Korea. I really envy you!"
"Sister-in-law, Prosecutor Yuan, congratulations. I will help you when you move!"
Jiang Zhentai on the side laughed.
"Thanks!"
"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Next, everyone drank and ate while discussing the house in Gangnam District. Just when everyone was discussing heatedly, Jiang Yuner said something that made Yuan Xudong very happy. She looked at her aunt Lin Yuner and asked in confusion:
"Aunt, does your agency allow you and uncle to date? Can you really live together? What if you breach the contract?"
"I……"
In fact, Lin Yuner had thought of this problem a long time ago, but she just thought that as long as she could keep it a secret for a day, as long as it was not reported by the media, there were too many celebrities who were dating in private, or even got married and had children, and the company would not investigate it so thoroughly. Of course, if such a thing were to be brought to the table, she would have to pay liquidated damages, or even be hidden by the agency and quit the entertainment industry forever. It would also hurt her good sisters in the same group with her. After all, they were a team, and they would prosper together and suffer together. Thinking of this, Lin Yuner was a little confused. She didn't want to give up her dream of becoming a star since she was a child, and she didn't want to hurt others. At the same time, she was reluctant to break up with Yuan Xudong, so she could only ask him for help pitifully:
"Oppa, what should I do?"
I have someone above me. Minister Han Qiang knows people in the entertainment industry. Besides, there are so many negative materials in the database. Any one of them can make Lin Yuner's agency compromise. Yuan Xudong thought so in his heart, but his face was calm and said:
"Yoon-ah, how about this? Let's buy a high-rise apartment in Gangnam District and you move in alone. When I have a chance, I will sneak over to see you. Isn't it better to not let others know about our relationship?"
"But……"
"That's it!"
Without waiting for Lin Yuner to finish, Yuan Xudong looked into her eyes and said:
"Unless you are willing to give up everything you have now, give up Girls' Generation and start over, are you really willing?"
"Oppa, I...I..."
Seeing Lin Yuner stammering and unable to speak, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"It's okay. It's just a secret relationship. When you become a big star, I will be the man standing behind you. In a few years, maybe a director will take notice of us and make a movie about us. How about calling the movie "My Celebrity Girlfriend"?"
"Fuck you, you disgusting person!"
…
A storm was eliminated without a trace. During the period when Yoona got rid of the agency contract, Yuan Xudong did not have to worry about exposing the relationship between the two people for the time being. As long as Jiang Zhentai did not tell anyone or it was exposed by some gossip media, Yuan Xudong did not have to worry about Song Eunxi and Li Yiliya knowing. After all, the two of them were not in the same circle as Yoona and they would never come into contact with each other. In fact, the safest way was to deal with Jiang Zhentai. Yuan Xudong already had a general idea about this. At worst, he would be nicer to him in the future and give him the opportunity to be promoted and get a raise.
After lunch, everyone rested for a while and then decided to go to a nearby amusement park together. Jiang Zhentai and Lin Xiuxiu accompanied their daughter Jiang Yuner, and Yuan Xudong accompanied Lin Yuner. Lin Yuner wore sunglasses and a scarf for fear of being recognized. As a result, few people recognized her as a newcomer who had just debuted, which made Yuan Xudong laugh for a long time.
As night fell, Yuan Xudong and Lin Yuner, who had been playing in the amusement park for the whole afternoon, lined up to enter the Ferris wheel and sat down. As the Ferris wheel slowly turned, Yuan Xudong and Lin Yuner were getting higher and higher. Through the clear tempered glass, they looked down at the night view of Seoul, where the lights were just coming on. The prosperous lights of thousands of houses were fascinating. Yuan Xudong put his arm around Lin Yuner's waist and smiled:
"I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains. When I am awake, I will hold the power of the world; when I am drunk, I will lie on the lap of a beauty. Which of these two ancient poems do you like?"
Since Yuan Xudong was reading in Chinese, Lin Yuner didn't understand. She looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"Oppa, I like whatever ancient poem you like!"
"Yeah?"
Yuan Xudong hugged Lin Yuner's arms and said with a little force:
"I like the line 'When awake I hold the power of the world, when drunk I lie on the lap of a beauty'. Do you like it too?"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding slightly, Lin Yuner looked at Yuan Xudong, who was knowledgeable, spoke standard Chinese, and understood the obscure ancient Chinese poems, and smiled:
"Oppa, what does this ancient poem mean?"
"This ancient poem describes a man's ultimate ideal. In ancient China, a man's ideal can be divided into four stages: self-cultivation, family harmony, governance, and world peace. After world peace, one can hold the power of the world when awake and sleep in the lap of a beauty when drunk. It means that the world is peaceful, and people in high positions can drink the fine wine they like, and when drunk, they can still play and have fun with the people they like."
"What?"
Lin Yuner opened her eyes slightly and said:
"Isn't this just alcoholism and lust for beauty?"
"Who said that? This is a man's ideal. Do you understand the ideal?"
"Oppa, you... wuwu!"
Without waiting for Lin Yuner to finish, Yuan Xudong hugged her and kissed her. His hands were not idle either, but were placed where they should be to caress her. After a long time, they separated their lips. In the sky, Yuan Xudong looked at Lin Yuner, whose face was flushed and whose breathing was a little disordered, and smiled:
"Yoona, do you want to stay with me every day?"
"I want to..."
After saying that, Lin Yoona hooked her hands around Yuan Xudong's neck and took the initiative to kiss his face and lips. Yuan Xudong also responded to her enthusiastically.
Time passed, and when the Ferris wheel finally stopped, Yuan Xudong took the breathless Lin Yuner's arm and walked to the nearest hotel and checked into a king-size bed room. During the time, Lin Yuner sent a text message to her sister, then threw her phone aside and played a undressing game with Yuan Xudong. You help me take off one piece, and I help you take off one piece...
The lights went out, and Yuan Xudong hugged Lin Yuner and hid in the bed. Looking at Lin Yuner with her eyes slightly closed, Yuan Xudong leaned down against her delicate body and said gently:
"Yoona, do you like me?"
“Hmm~~”
