Chapter 114 Visiting
Chapter 114 Visiting
Half an hour later, the car drove into the villa.
Lin Yuan was the first to push open the car door and get out, then helped Li Zhi'en.
After getting out of the car, Lee Ji-eun looked around and exclaimed, "Is this your new home? It's really grand!"
Park Jiyeon's mouth gaped open, wide enough to swallow an egg, her face filled with shock. She blurted out unconsciously, "This is so big and so beautiful! If I could live here, I'd never have a worry in my life!"
The air fell silent for a moment.
"Pfft x3"
Lin Yuan, Li Zhi'en, and Xia Yuan all laughed at the same time, which made Park Ji-yeon, who was always very generous on stage, blush.
Then he lowered his head and remained silent.
"If Jiyeon-ssi likes it, she should come visit more often."
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, let's go inside and chat."
Step into the bright and spacious living room.
Mihoko was sitting in the small garden, busy knitting a sweater, with a baby stroller beside her, in which Lin Tianqi was lying quietly asleep.
Mihoko would occasionally turn her head to look, a bright smile always on her lips.
Even Lee Ji-eun, who had always harbored resentment towards her, had to admit at this moment that this woman was indeed very beautiful and gentle.
Park Jiyeon, needless to say, is the youngest member of the group herself. She has been taken care of by her older sisters since she was a trainee, and she can feel the maternal love in Mihyeko even more.
At this moment, the nanny came out, greeted everyone respectfully, and called out, "Young Master!"
Lin Yuan waved his hand and glanced at the time. "Wang Ma, prepare some home-cooked dishes." Then he turned to Park Jiyeon and asked, "Does Jiyeon-ssi have any dietary restrictions?"
Park Jiyeon's heart skipped a beat. "I...I can't handle spicy food very well!"
"Their tastes are similar to ours."
Lin Yuan joked, "Wang Ma, then just make it normally, without chili."
"Yes, young master!"
After a while, Wang Ma brought some fruit and placed it on the coffee table.
Lin Yuan then stood up as well. "Ji-yeon-xi, please make yourself at home. I'll go call Mi-hye-ko. Xia-yuan, have the bodyguards bring Choi Jin-ri over. As for Choi-ko... just send her straight onto the ship. I won't go see her."
"Yes, young master!"
Upon receiving the order, Xia Yuan immediately took out her phone and gave the instructions.
Because the two were communicating in Chinese, Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon didn't understand at all, assuming it was just a work-related conversation and didn't take it seriously.
Lin Yuan walked to the glass door leading to the small garden, gently pushed it open, and with a gentle breeze, Mihoko's tender gaze also came over.
Upon seeing him, she put down her needlework, her eyes filled with smiles.
"You're back~" Mieko said softly, got up and hugged Lin Yuan's waist, looking up at him with a smile.
Lin Yuan kissed Mei Huizi on the lips, then put his arm around her and walked to the stroller. He looked down at Lin Tianqi, who was sleeping soundly.
The little guy smacked his lips and slept peacefully.
Lin Yuan helped him pull the small blanket he had kicked off back up, then said to Mihoko, "Ji-eun and her friend are here, go in and say hello."
Mihoko was slightly taken aback. "Why didn't you say so earlier?" She patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder in a mock reproach before leaving his embrace. "You really are something, leaving your guest behind. You have no manners at all."
Lin Yuan awkwardly touched his nose.
Mieko rolled her eyes at him and pushed the stroller into the living room.
In the living room, Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon were sitting on the sofa. When they saw Mihyeja pushing a stroller out, the previously noisy atmosphere instantly quieted down.
Lee Ji-eun's gaze fell on Mihye-ja with mixed feelings, while Park Ji-yeon craned her neck curiously.
"Hello, I'm Mieko. Welcome to my home." Mieko nodded slightly and greeted Park Jiyeon politely.
She was very familiar with Xia Garden and came there almost every day.
Needless to say, Lee Ji-eun is a love rival!
Park Jiyeon stood up the moment she saw Mihyeko, her hands sweating with nervousness.
She bent down straight and stammered a greeting, "Miss Mihyeko, I...I'm Park Jiyeon, you...you're so beautiful!"
"What?"
"ha?"
"Pfft."
Lee Ji-eun couldn't help but turn her head away and cover her mouth to laugh, while Lin Yuan, who was following behind, shook his head helplessly.
Mieko clearly hadn't expected this guest she was meeting for the first time to be so adorable.
She gently stepped forward, took Park Jiyeon's nervous hands, and whispered:
"Thank you for your compliment. Ms. Jiyeon is even more beautiful than on TV. I often watch Tara's stage performances. Please have a seat, don't be so formal, make yourself at home."
Feeling the warmth from Mihoko's palm, Park Jiyeon's nervousness instantly dissipated, and she sat back on the sofa, blushing slightly with embarrassment.
Mihoko turned around, and her gaze naturally fell on Lee Ji-eun.
The two women's gazes met in mid-air, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Lee Ji-eun looked at the woman in front of her, who was wearing a simple knitted sweater and radiating maternal glow.
My previously agitated heart miraculously calmed down at this moment.
"have not seen you for a long time."
Mieko spoke first, her tone calm.
"Long time no see." Lee Ji-eun took a deep breath and put on a polite smile. "Seeing you in such good shape makes me feel relieved."
"Thank you." Mihoko smiled slightly and pulled over the stroller beside her. "This is Tianqi; he just fell asleep."
Upon hearing the topic of babies, Park Jiyeon's gossipy nature and girlish heart were immediately awakened.
She cautiously approached the stroller and looked at the little one inside with fair skin, eyes closed, and smacking his lips. She was instantly charmed by his cuteness.
"Wow...so cute!"
Park Jiyeon cupped her hands around her heart, her eyes sparkling, and turned to wave at Lee Ji-eun.
"Unnie, come look! This baby is so beautiful! Her eyes and nose look like President Hayashi's, and her mouth looks like Ms. Mieko's!"
Lee Ji-eun's curiosity was piqued, and she moved over.
Looking at that tiny, soft life, her eyes unconsciously softened.
"If you like, you can hug him when he wakes up," Mieko whispered from the side.
"Really?" Park Jiyeon asked with delight, nodding repeatedly, her earlier nervousness completely forgotten.
Just as the three women were chatting quietly around the stroller in the living room, Xia Yuan walked in through the French windows with her phone in hand and whispered a few words in Lin Yuan's ear.
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes deepening for a moment, then stood up and clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention:
"Alright, everyone, stop staring at the baby for now. Ji-eun, Ji-yeon-ssi, have some fruit first."
Lin Yuan paused, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "Zhi En, I'll have someone send Zhen Li over. Let's talk things out face to face. Let's keep our distance from each other in the future."
