Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Han Hyo-joo was taken aback not only by everyone speaking at once, but also by Lee Seok's immediate apology: this made her realize that at most the two of them were just "fake lovers," and Lee Seok clearly had no intention of seizing this opportunity to take things a step further with her, a top Hallyu star.

With this in mind, Han Xiaozhou somewhat reservedly extended his hand and said, "Please speak first..."

Using honorifics also created distance between them.

Lee Seok keenly sensed these things, but Han Hyo-joo's position in his heart was clearly not as high as that of Lim Se-ah and Jung Soo-yeon. The latter two women were the ones he needed to deal with at the moment, so he didn't have time to consider Han Hyo-joo's feelings.

So he proceeded methodically, "Please allow me to apologize first. I'm sorry, Miss Han, you must have seen what happened just now. That three-star crown princess was very assertive, so..."

He shrugged and didn't say anything more.

Han Xiaozhou wasn't an innocent girl, so after regaining her composure, she responded to Li Shuo with a calm expression, saying it was okay while tentatively asking, "It's getting late, so... shall we part ways here?"

If the man is interested, he will naturally try to keep her, and she can consider staying. After all, she just rejected Zheng Shirong for Li Shuo, which is already a sunk cost.

To everyone's surprise, Li Shuo nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll bring Nan Guili along another day and treat you to dinner!"

At that moment, Han Xiaozhou almost vomited blood: If you're going to refuse, then refuse. Why did you have to say you wanted to bring Nam Gyu-ri? We're just friends on the surface, can't you tell? Besides, even if you think we're friends, if you really had feelings for me, shouldn't you have left Nam Gyu-ri behind and secretly asked me out?

Even though she had a great attitude, she had been pursued by countless elite men and regarded as a super goddess for many years. Therefore, the huge sense of loss at this moment left Han Xiaozhou unable to recover for a long time...

After Han Xiaozhou calmed down from the profound shock, she saw Li Shuo walk to a parking space by the roadside and get into the panda-colored Porsche 918. After their meeting, Han Xiaozhou later specifically looked up the price of the car, which was over a million US dollars, leaving her speechless and giving her a further understanding of Li Shuo's wealth...

The panda-colored Porsche 918 was also a novel toy for Li Shuo, so even though it was only a short distance away, he had to start it up and drive from the main entrance of the department store, around the street to the side entrance, and then park it in front of the glass door of a coffee shop, which was the resting place that Xu Ji had arranged for Zheng Xiuyan.

"Oh dear!" "Oh my God!"

"This car is so cool!"

The sports car certainly caused a stir. In South Korea's materialistic society, such a top-of-the-line luxury item is an absolute killer weapon!

This caused Li Shuo to attract a lot of attention when he entered. Unlike the environment in China, there were several South Korean beauties with dyed yellow hair and pretty clothes who took the initiative to ask for Li Shuo's phone number.

"Sorry, I have a girlfriend!"

Lee Seok chuckled and declined the advances of the two groups of beautiful women who were eager to approach him. He strode over to Jessica Jung, who had witnessed his popularity and his rejection of the other women. Jessica Jung's pretty face lit up with a bright smile. As he approached, she sat down in a chair, stretched out her arm, and then grabbed Lee Seok's neck, forcibly pulling him down...

"Boom"

This was a unique kind of forced kiss. Although it was called "forceful," Lee Seok simply lowered his head to follow the force, but it was definitely Jessica Jung who initiated it...

The girl's kiss was incredibly sweet, especially for a reborn man like him who, due to her identity as a young girl, still harbored an unusual craving for her. It was a dreamlike, satisfying feeling of "finally obtaining the goddess of my dreams," something that ordinary beauties could not provide, even for Lu Ailin, whose looks were almost perfect in Li Shuo's eyes...

Of course, feelings can change depending on mood and novelty, so at that moment, Lee Seok would loudly proclaim, "Soo-yeon, I like you, you're my favorite girl..."

After their lips parted, that's exactly what Li Shuo did...

Under the influence of sweet words, he spent more than half an hour with the girl in the coffee shop. Later, the panda-colored 918 caused a stir, and many people even took photos and uploaded them online. Meanwhile, the news of "the three-star crown princess having a fierce battle with an unfamiliar overseas tycoon in a department store" also spread online first. With the two combined, Li Shuo was on the verge of becoming a celebrity...

Fortunately, guard number 3 outside the coffee shop spotted paparazzi using long lenses to take photos. He not only stopped the paparazzi but also promptly informed Li Shuo.

Li Shuo decisively grabbed Zheng Xiuyan's wrist, led her to the back door, and instructed her as they walked, "Someone's taking pictures, put on your gear..."

When idols go out, they naturally wear a hat, sunglasses, and scarf—a three-piece set. Upon hearing this, she immediately followed suit, her heart racing as she rushed towards the back door with Lee Seok. After exiting the back door, she was led by bodyguards through a maze of turns before finally getting into an "inconspicuous" Mercedes-Benz S-Class...

"Wow, this is so exciting, hee hee!"

After getting into the car, Jessica Jung patted her chest with lingering enthusiasm, sighing and laughing.

"What's with that 'I want to do it again' look on your face?" Li Shuo looked at the girl, both amused and exasperated, and questioned, "As an idol, isn't being chased by paparazzi a common occurrence?"

“But this time is different. Those paparazzi are definitely here to take pictures of you, Oppa. I was just passing by... Besides, before, when we were being chased, it was always a group of us, and I didn’t feel anything when I was in the team. This time it’s just the two of us!”

"Uh, okay!"

Li Shuo chuckled, reached out and pinched the cheek of his idol who was shouting loudly, then said with "disgust," "Oh dear, such a beautiful young lady, she lost all the collagen in her face in order to lose weight!"

Idols' body management is purely about being extremely thin, so most of them have pretty bad figures. Well, Jessica Jung is a little better, but Seohyun is practically flat-chested.

"Ugh, I'm the heaviest in the team, okay? I'll let you in on a secret, I weigh 47kg!"

"Tsk tsk, you have one month to gain 50kg, or you're not allowed to kiss me!"

"Ah~ no way! I've gained 6 pounds in one go! Good heavens, you might as well kill me!"

"So we're not going to gain weight?"

"Where's the kiss?"

"Of course it's not allowed!"

"No, I don't want it!"

The two chatted and laughed, when Jessica Jung, embarrassed and annoyed, stood up and pounced on Lee Seok, baring her teeth and claws, saying, "Since that's the case, I'll take this opportunity to get my future kisses back..."

As he spoke, he naturally launched another offensive...
