The night was cool as water. After their passionate kiss, the two hugged each other on the balcony. Neither of them spoke as they enjoyed the moment away from the crowd.
After hugging each other for a few minutes, Pu Hyomin lowered her head and pushed him away. Her face was red as she said softly, "It's time to go in.
It's not good to be outside for too long … "
Tang Jinyan tilted his head and looked at her. She was quite interesting.
No matter how he looked at her, Pu Hyomin looked like a vixen.
Earlier at the sink, she had also taken the initiative to kiss him. She looked very free and easy.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized that Pu Hyomin was actually shy.
The two kisses were only a few minutes apart, but the feeling was completely different … A vixen and a weak girl who had just awakened to love. It was a strange feeling.
Pu Hyomin seemed to be a little flustered by his gaze. She lowered her head and hurried into the banquet hall.
As the host of the banquet, Tang Jinyan couldn't stay on the balcony. It was too rude.
He stood still for a few minutes and made sure that he and Pu Hyomin were far enough apart to not attract attention. Then, he adjusted his collar and walked into the banquet hall.
The hustle and bustle of the banquet hit him in the face. Tang Jinyan narrowed his eyes and put on a polite smile.
He quietly looked around. Pu Hyomin was laughing and joking with a girl he didn't know.
No matter who it was, in this society, they had to learn how to switch between different roles.
Tang Jinyan smiled and greeted the nearby Quanguang Town. "The Rolex in Quanguang Town's hands looks pretty good …"
"Hahaha, if Chairman Tang is interested, I can introduce you to an agent …"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Representative Quan."
"By the way, I haven't seen anyone from LOEN today?"
"Well … we haven't contacted LOEN about this project."
"LOEN is backed by SK Telecom and owns Me | On. Their IU is currently the most popular solo female brand. They are very beneficial to Chairman Tang's project. We should pay attention to them."
Tang Jinyan said seriously, "Representative Quan is right. Thank you very much."
Quanguang Zhen laughed heartily. "What kind of relationship do we have … but President Tang has been working with SBS quite a bit lately, hasn't he?"
"It just so happens that the series I invested in was from SBS, and this time, they invited Zhang Taiyou to direct the series. I personally don't have much of a relationship with SBS …"
"Eh, actually, it's nothing. But soon, your Lin Yuner's' The Premier and I 'will be competing against your' Heirs. 'I'm looking forward to the love and hate story."
"I didn't think of this beforehand. It was indeed an oversight.
In any case, if there are any projects next time, I will inform all the representatives first … "
*****
The banquet lasted from 6: 30 pm to 9 pm. When the guests left one by one, Tang Jinyan heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he was used to all kinds of social activities, he still felt tired every time he finished.
This kind of tiredness had nothing to do with physical strength. It all depended on whether you liked it or not.
Some people would never get tired of it, but Tang Jinyan always felt that it was torture.
When they left the hotel, Crow was already waiting for them at the door. "Where did Brother Nine go tonight?"
Tang Jinyan got in tiredly and leaned against the back seat. "T-ara's dorm."
Usually, his women rarely asked him out. Li Juli's "I'll wait for you tonight" was an extremely rare invitation. No matter what, he had to go.
Not to mention, he seemed to have made a breakthrough with Pu Hyomin tonight.
T-ara left earlier than him. When he arrived at T-ara's dorm, the girls had already finished showering and were lazily watching TV on the sofa in the living room.
When they saw him enter, they were not surprised. Obviously, Li Juli had already informed everyone that he would be coming tonight.
Originally, Park Suk Yeon wanted to tease him, but when she saw that he seemed to be very tired, her teasing mood was immediately replaced by distress. She went forward to take his coat and whispered, "Tired?"
"A little.
You know I don't like these kinds of social activities, but there are so many of them. "
Tang Jinyan slumped onto the sofa and leaned against Li Juli. "I'm afraid you'll be waiting for nothing. You won't be in the mood to do anything tonight."
Li Juli spat. "Do you think I like it?
It's best if you give up. "
Tang Jinyan laughed. "That won't do. There are six living widows in a room. It's a waste of resources."
"Bah!" Quan Baolan jumped up. "Don't be so disgusting. What does it have to do with me whether you give up or not?"
Quan Baolan, of course, had allies. Among the three who did not board the pirate ship, Han Eun-kyung rarely spoke to these kinds of jokes. She just smiled faintly. Pu Hyomin was usually the main force to annoy Tang Jinyan. Logically speaking, she would quickly chime in to annoy Tang Jinyan.
However, after waiting for a long time, Quan Baolan realized that no one responded.
Quan Baolan blinked in confusion. Her gaze swept past Han Eun-kyung. Han Eun-kyung smiled slightly.
Quan Baolan could not be bothered with her. She continued to look at Pu Hyomin. She cursed in her heart.
Pu Hyomin quietly looked at Tang Jinyan, who was leaning on Li Juli's shoulder. Her gaze revealed extremely complicated emotions.
Quan Baolan realized that she had become a loner. Her presence was bursting.
Tang Jinyan laughed heartlessly. "A bunch of anti-concealment devices are really effective. Baolan's voice is the loudest now."
Quan Baolan snorted and covered her mouth with her small hand. She looked determined not to say anything.
The sisters all laughed. Even Pu Hyomin, who had something on her mind, was laughing happily. Quan Baolan glared at her. The meaning in her eyes was clear: Damn traitor.
Tang Jinyan said lazily, "Trying to go invisible again?"
Quan Baolan ignored him.
"You're really not going to say anything?"
Quan Baolan still ignored him.
Tang Jinyan said lazily, "How about I tell everyone a joke?"
Li Juli laughed. "Other than dirty jokes, what other jokes do you know?"
"Dirty jokes. Do you want to hear it?"
"Of course, do you think we're afraid of you?"
"Ahem."
Tang Jinyan cleared his throat. "A volcano suddenly erupted on a deserted island. After the incident, there was only a donkey and a rabbit left on the island. There were no other living creatures.
Fortunately, they were a male and a female. "
Everyone looked at Tang Jinyan, and then at Quan Baolan. Their eyes were full of smiles.
Weren't these two people the size of a donkey and a rabbit? And they were a male and a female … If there were no other living creatures, what could they do?
Quan Baolan glared at him.
Tang Jinyan continued, "I'm sure everyone knows what happened after that, so I won't talk about it. Anyway, spring came, and they couldn't take it anymore. They could only do that … In the end, the donkey realized that no matter how hard it tried, the rabbit wouldn't make a sound …"
"Pfft …" Park Ji-yeon burst out laughing, followed by the rest of the girls.
Quan Baolan's face was red, but she refused to make a sound.
Tang Jinyan sighed. "When it was done, the donkey asked the rabbit why it didn't make a sound. The rabbit scolded angrily, 'Your thing is already at my throat. I can't make a sound even if I want to!'"
Quan Baolan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. "You're the rabbit!
You're the one whose throat is at your throat! "
"Pfft … Ahahahaha …" The group of unscrupulous girls were rocking back and forth with laughter. Pu Hyomin almost rolled off the sofa.
Before Quan Baolan could chase after them in exasperation, Tang Jinyan picked up Li Juli, who was laughing so hard that she was paralyzed, and rushed into her room. He slammed the door shut.
Park Soyeon and Park Ji-yeon looked at each other and followed him in, their faces red.
The only ones left in the lively living room were the trio who had not boarded the pirate ship. Quan Baolan pointed at Pu Hyomin angrily. "Traitor, traitor!"
Pu Hyomin was still laughing bitterly. "You, you're digging your own grave. What's the point of a little girl fighting with a big black bear?"
"Hmph …" Quan Baolan returned to her room angrily. "I knew you guys weren't reliable. Sooner or later, he'll be at my throat!"
After Quan Baolan left, Pu Hyomin slowly stopped laughing. She turned to look at the room where Tang Jinyan had disappeared and sighed softly.
Han Eun-kyung smiled and said, "What's wrong?
You're really strange today. "
Pu Hyomin whispered, "Eun-kyung, I know why you like him but don't want to show it."
Han Eun-kyung's expression changed slightly. "You …"
Pu Hyomin sighed softly. "It turns out that when you're really moved, when you see him and them … it's not the panic or embarrassment you used to feel, but … you'll get jealous …"
