PS: I just came back from spending some alone time with my wife, cough cough …
— — —
There wasn't much left in the bottle of red wine, and it was quickly emptied by the two of them.
Li Juli's mind was in a mess. If she was just drunk earlier, she was really a little drunk now. She kept hanging on to Tang Jinyan and refused to get down.
It was as if once she left his arms, she would have to face the annoying reality again. The scene of being "forced" to drink with him and get drunk together would be shattered in an instant.
"Do you … want it or not?"
Li Juli half-closed her almond-shaped eyes and whispered in his ear, "If you want it … I can give it to you … as long as it's something you like …"
She was really drunk. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked such a childish question.
After her father's last words, if he still wanted it, even if it was just once, it would be tantamount to breaking off relations with the Li family of High Yang.
Even if he didn't care about it, she shouldn't be such a femme fatale.
But she still said it.
Tang Jinyan was silent for a moment and replied in a low voice, "You'll give it to me if I like it?"
"Yes, yes … as long as you like it …"
"What if I like the whole T-ara?
Will you be my pimp? "
It was as if a bolt of lightning struck Li Juli's mind. Her whole body quivered, and in an instant, half of her drunkenness dissipated.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Tang Jinyan's expressionless face. She slowly left his arms.
At this moment, the two of them remembered their previous conversation.
It wasn't just Li Juli. If he really wanted it, it would be difficult for the whole T-ara to escape from his evil clutches.
Li Juli was worried that such a thing would happen, so she deliberately tested him. But in the end, the response she got made her sink.
Tang Jinyan said in a low voice, "If I do it because I like it, then you, Li Juli … will you still like me?"
Li Juli closed her eyes and suddenly felt a little funny.
She liked him because of his sobriety, his self-control, and his bottom line. However, she liked him so much that she was blind. Instead, she hated him for being so sober and insisted on getting him drunk … But if he really was no longer sober, what would she do?
Li Juli finally laughed. "Humans are really interesting animals."
Tang Jinyan also smiled. "Don't be so philosophical.
Go back when you're sober. "
"Yes." Li Juli stood up. Her body was still slanted from the alcohol.
Tang Jinyan reached out to support her. Li Juli naturally let him support her and even leaned on him.
The two of them walked out of the room side by side calmly. On the surface, they looked like a young couple who had just finished a date.
"Should we go back and tell Soyeon?"
"Actually, it's fine if Soyeon knows. She almost instigated me to do it."
At this moment, Li Juli was more sober than anyone else. "But Soyeon didn't think about one thing … She can give it to anyone but T-ara. Otherwise, the fans will cause a huge uproar. The aftermath of the team's ostracization is still there. The sisters in the same team are starting to fight for men again?
T-ara can stink the whole street. You won't be able to turn the tide again. "
"That's why people always face all kinds of restrictions and constraints in this world."
The two of them walked out of the club. Tang Jinyan stopped and looked at the stars in the sky. His voice gradually lowered. It was so low that Li Juli could barely hear it. "It's easier said than done …"
Li Juli was silent for a while. Suddenly, she said, "At least you don't have to worry so much in front of me in the future.
I … feel bad. "
Tang Jinyan smiled. "Not hate?"
"Hate, but also feel bad."
*****
November 11th, Singles' Day.
The Seoul New Village Corporation, which was a combination of foreign trade, construction, real estate, logistics, commercial buildings, and entertainment agencies, was officially established at the original location of the Seoul New Village Corporation. The political and business elites of Seoul gathered together to celebrate the establishment of this corporation that appeared overnight, but in reality, it was just a shell company.
The guests who came to celebrate included the important leader of the New World Party, Lee Jae-hyun, the chairman of the famous CJ Group, and important leaders of various departments.
From the looks of it, this shell company's level was even higher than Jeju Island's Tang Dynasty Company.
In fact, although this company's benefits were far from Tang Dynasty Company's, in Tang Jinyan's heart, this company's level was higher than Tang Dynasty Company's.
This was because this was his foundation. Without his identity as Tang Jiu, he was just a rootless duckweed. No matter how well Tang Dynasty Company developed, it would only be a wedding dress for someone else.
The company's opening ceremony also invited a popular idol to perform.
The chairman of the company, Baek Chang-soo, had his own entertainment agency, so the artists for the opening ceremony were very simple. C-JES's famous female artist, Song Ji-hyo, was the emcee. Her co-emcee was the famous actor, Lee Jung-jae. From this, it was obvious that Lee Jung-jae would join C-JES.
As for the guest performers, C-JES's pillar, JYJ, had to go on stage without a doubt. Since JYJ was going on stage, Baek Chang-soo didn't consider inviting other groups under S-M. Girls' Generation naturally wasn't invited this time.
The invited guests were YG's PSY Uncle Bird, JYP's 2PM, DSP's KARA, and CCM's T-ara.
T-ara's arrival made the media very excited. The coverage even outshone Uncle Bird.
There was no other reason. The chairman of the New Village Group was Tang Jinyan. His girlfriend was T-ara's Park Soyeon. Their relationship was known throughout the country.
This time, the boyfriend's company was finally opening, and his girlfriend was going on stage to sing!
This was so loving, right? Just the recap of their relationship alone took up half of the page. Not only was the old grudge of Tang Jinyan beating up a reporter for Park Soyeon brought up, there were even bolder ones who covered the incident of Tang Jinyan causing a ruckus at DISPATCH's board of directors. They only omitted the fact that he was a gangster and stabbed people with a knife. They simply pointed out that he was there to seek justice for T-ara.
On Singles' Day, the newspapers and the internet wantonly used this kind of relationship to torture single people. The majority of single people protested, but most of the protests were mixed with blessings. They said that it was rare for a couple to be tested, and that they deserved to reap the fruits of their love.
In this atmosphere, just as Tang Jinyan stepped into the waiting room, Park Ji-yeon stopped him at the door. "Don't torture single people!"
Seeing Park Ji-yeon clenching her fists angrily, Tang Jinyan couldn't help but laugh. His gaze swept past her head and looked inside. Li Juli was striding over.
"Don't mess around." Li Juli knocked Park Ji-yeon's head. "You're the one being tortured?"
Park Ji-yeon covered her head and looked at Li Juli. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but couldn't.
"Ji-yeon …" Tang Jinyan looked like he was trying to coax a little girl. "You can find a bouquet of roses and throw it on me. Together with the person standing next to me, it'll feel like a certain scene is replayed. All the anger of tormenting single people will disappear."
Park Ji-yeon was stunned for a long time before she realized that he was referring to the MV "Lies" that everyone debuted. Wasn't it just her and Li Juli acting jealous?
The little girl wanted to smile, but suddenly Park Soyeon's voice came from behind. "If that's the case, do I have to slap you in the face for a more perfect reenactment?"
Tang Jinyan looked in the direction of the voice. Park Soyeon was leaning on the side with her arms crossed. Her eyes moved back and forth between him and Li Juli, and the smile on her face was extremely playful.
Tang Jinyan smiled. "Let's go home and slowly shake it off."
Park Soyeon sighed faintly. "I can't shake it off. My heart aches."
