Li Juli did not argue with Tang Jinyan. She took the room card and rushed into the hotel to take care of her father.
Tang Jinyan held Park Soyeon's hand and said with a smile, "Don't blame me for disturbing your practice. I always feel that there's no use in practicing all day long. Your body is the most important. Work and rest should be balanced."
Park Soyeon laughed and said, "You're full of fallacies."
"Hmph, I can't stand to see you guys not caring about your lives."
Tang Jinyan held her hand and walked in a random direction. "The Model Worker Group. I used to admire you a lot. Now that I think about it, you've been squeezed to the limit by the company. Your labor force has been squeezed to the limit. You guys work hard without complaint like old cattle."
Park Soyeon said helplessly, "We have more schedules and more income. From this point of view, it's a win-win for the company.
President Kim is actually a good person. He looks better than many companies when it comes to profit sharing. "
"Yes, yes, yes. It's a win-win for your pockets. It's just that you lose everything."
Park Soyeon said softly, "Okay, I know you're worried about me."
Tang Jinyan said, "You have to know that we haven't even gone on a date … hmm …"
He fell silent halfway. Park Soyeon knew that he was thinking of Jung Eun-thi.
Maybe he and Jung Eun-thi had gone on a date. For a person like him, it was very likely that he had only gone on a date with Jung Eun-thi in his life. It was normal for him to be reminded of the past.
She also missed one point. Tang Jinyan had only gone on a date once in his life.
She said softly, "Then let's have a good date today. I don't care about practice or anything."
"Ha …" Tang Jinyan smiled and said, "I suddenly feel that it's really good to be in a public relationship. You don't even need to wear sunglasses. You can openly walk hand in hand with me on the street. No one can say a word."
Occasionally, there would be passers-by who recognized her and pointed at them. Some people even took out their phones to take photos. When they saw them looking over, they all smiled kindly.
Park Soyeon also laughed. She didn't think that her idol's love could be exposed on the street without any concealment. What she got in return were the kind expressions of passersby. It was really like a dream.
This was also an anomaly. Even if an idol's relationship was announced, they wouldn't dare to be so ostentatious. This was because there would always be many fans who were sad that their idols were in love. Being too ostentatious was disrespectful to the fans and rubbing salt on the fans' wounds. Only when the idol had been in love for many years and everyone had already accepted it, would they be open about it.
Her situation was rather special. From the beginning, there didn't seem to be many fans who were dissatisfied. Even if there were, it was a very small number. Everyone seemed to have tacitly agreed to this matter.
Facing everyone's gaze, she suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "Actually, there are times when I'm dating you secretly …"
Tang Jinyan blinked as he recalled the day of his birthday when Park Soyeon had accompanied him to the hotel for dinner, wrapped up like a mummy.
If he really wanted to talk about it, that was their first date, wasn't it?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel that it was somewhat interesting. "And that was the first time in my life that I had a meal alone with a woman. Could it be considered the first date of my life?"
Park Soyeon smiled slightly.
Fate was here. There were some things that came before Eun-thi.
Actually … there was really no need to back down, right?
She finally said what she should have said a few days ago. "OPPA, my parents know about us.
They didn't object. "
Tang Jinyan's footsteps paused for a moment before he continued walking. "Did you tell them about my background?"
In fact, he had been suspicious for a long time. His and Park Soyeon's relationship had been reported in the newspapers and on the Internet. There was no way that Park Soyeon's family didn't know about it. In the end, not only did they not say anything for so many days, they didn't even visit Park Soyeon when she was in the hospital. It was really illogical.
In his mind, Park Soyeon's family knew about his identity and didn't agree to her being with him. Park Soyeon was trying her best to deal with them.
But he didn't expect her to say that she didn't object today.
"I did."
Park Soyeon smiled. "I told them that you were a very famous triad boss. They were very nervous at first and asked if I was being threatened."
"Oh?" Tang Jinyan was interested.
He knew that Park Soyeon's family wasn't very well off. Back then, her grandmother and uncle fell seriously ill one after another, causing the family to be overburdened. They couldn't afford the crucial expenses of an artist's debut.
But overall, they were still a well-off family and had some connections in society. After all, not everyone could recommend themselves to Mnet.
To a certain extent, this family was somewhat similar to Jung Eun-thi's family. They looked at problems more from the perspective of a normal citizen. They were different from Li Juli's father, who naturally hated and resisted the triads.
He really wanted to know why such a family would agree to let Park Soyeon follow him.
"I just told them everything you did for me. After they heard it, they said, 'Zhao Yan, this man is quite reliable. It would be great if he could clear his name …'" Park Soyeon said. "Then I said, 'He's clearing his name. He's already the president of a legitimate foreign trade company!'"
"Heh …" Tang Jinyan pinched her nose. "Fake military orders. Who said I wanted to clear my name?"
Although he said that, his tone didn't sound displeased. Park Soyeon hiding something from her family was common sense. It would be strange if she told them everything.
Besides, in the eyes of ordinary people, he really did want to clear his name. Park Soyeon's words weren't completely wrong.
Park Soyeon wrinkled her nose. "That day when I was in the hospital, they wanted to come over to see me and meet you.
At that time, I … I didn't want you to meet them face to face, so I didn't let them come. "
Tang Jinyan couldn't help but laugh. "They were in a hurry to see me?"
Park Soyeon rolled her eyes at him. "They were afraid that their daughter would be played by the triads, so they dumped her. Who wouldn't be worried if they didn't see it with their own eyes …"
"Even if they saw it with their own eyes, how could they understand a person's heart?" Tang Jinyan shook his head and smiled, but his heart was suddenly relieved.
It was already not easy for ordinary people to accept his background as a triad. It made people feel much better.
As for whether he would clear his name in the future, what did they know …
Park Soyeon laughed. "I don't care. Anyway, you can't dump me."
Tang Jinyan couldn't help but laugh. "I'm just afraid that Big Star Park will become famous in the future and won't like a little hooligan like me."
"Oppa …" Park Soyeon said faintly, "I know what I'm saying is ridiculous and mushy to you. Perhaps it's just words of love that can't be realized. But I still have to say it … even if you're just a little hooligan, I'm still going to follow you."
Tang Jinyan looked into her eyes seriously and said solemnly, "I believe you."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Park Soyeon was no longer satisfied with just holding hands. She hugged his arm and leaned against it. She didn't say anything and just walked slowly.
As they strolled quietly on the streets, Tang Jinyan felt that the restlessness of last night was gradually calming down. He could no longer recall the restless feeling of tossing and turning in bed last night.
He whispered, "Come home with me tonight."
"Mm … okay.
I'd like to see what your house is like too. "
As they walked, there was a commotion in front of them. A group of people seemed to be watching something. They could vaguely make out that someone was carrying a camera and seemed to be filming.
Similar scenes were common in the streets and alleys of South Korea. The people were already used to it. The two of them didn't make a fuss and walked over to take a look.
As soon as they walked out of the crowd, Tang Jinyan's tall stature quickly caught sight of the situation. His expression suddenly changed and he stopped in his tracks.
Before Park Soyeon could see clearly, she felt his hand tighten around hers. She turned to look at him in confusion and saw his expressionless face.
"Let's go. There's nothing to see," Tang Jinyan said slowly as he pulled Park Soyeon away.
Park Soyeon felt that his voice was trembling when he said that. She thought about it and quickly understood.
She didn't need to look to know what kind of film crew this was and who was in it.
Juli, oh, Juli, you jinx …
Seeing that Tang Jinyan was trying his best to put on a blank expression, but his arms were obviously tense, Park Suk Yan held his hand and sighed inwardly.
