Chapter 123 Pei Yanzhu’s Confession
Early in the morning, Han Zhe slowly opened his eyes. Shen Youna was sleeping soundly on his arm with her long legs wrapped around him. Her sleeping posture was very indecent.

Han Zhe carefully moved her legs away, looked at her peaceful sleeping face, bent down and kissed her forehead lightly, then pulled out his arm. Shen Youna then made a soft humming sound, stretched out her hands randomly, turned over and fell asleep again.

He tidied up the messy clothes beside the bed, folded them and put them beside the bed, stretched, washed up, then went to the living room and drank a whole bottle of iced mineral water. Sitting on the sofa, looking at the bottles and snacks piled up on the coffee table, he couldn’t help rubbing his head.

The place where he is now is an apartment borrowed from a friend – of course, to be precise, this house will become Han Zhe’s own house when he goes to the company to sign in the morning. After Shin Yuna said that she wanted a quiet place to date him, Han Zhe immediately realized that he would have more real estate.

Han Zhe has not been wasting time during this period. He has saved a lot of phone numbers in his mobile phone. If he wants to buy an apartment urgently, it can be done with just a few text messages.

The newly purchased apartment is about the same size as Liu Zhimin’s apartment, both are more than 200 square meters, and are located in Gangnam District, which can be considered a high-end residential area. If nothing unexpected happens, this room will belong only to him and Shen Youna.

The price of a few billion is just two or three days’ money for George Han. For him, buying an apartment is no different from ordinary people going out to eat in a high-end restaurant.

After resting for a while, Han Zhe sent a text message to Xue Run’e, asking her to come here in the afternoon to clean up the apartment and change to a new set of bedding and personal items.

Naturally, she doesn’t have to worry about the funds, as she also has a supplementary credit card of Han Zhe, which she can use freely within the limit.

After putting down his phone, Han Zhe took a bottle of mineral water and returned to the bedroom. Shen Youna was still sleeping soundly, with her long hair pressed against her face, looking a little messy.

Han Zhe put the bottle of water on the bedside table, touched her face, tidied her messy hair, and then lay down again to play with his phone and wait for her to wake up. Shen Youna slept until lunch time when she finally opened her eyes in a daze. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Han Zhe beside her, blinked, and smiled sweetly. She leaned over very naturally and hung on him like a sloth.

“Awake? It’s almost twelve o’clock.”

Han Zhe touched her hair, put down his phone, turned around and hugged her.

Shin Yu-na buried her face in his arms, rubbed it, and whined like a puppy: “My throat is so dry.”

“I put some water next to you.”

After Han Zhe finished speaking, he saw her tilting her head back, pouting, and shaking her head: “Oppa, feed me.”

“understood.”

Han Zhe could only laugh and shake his head, and reached out to her sideways, but she playfully used her two arms to hold him and press him on her, letting out a cry of “Oppa, you’re hurting me.”

She had a pitiful expression, but her arms were still hanging around his neck. Her bright eyes blinked on her little face and she said, “Oppa, you have to compensate me.”

“Hey, do you want some water?” Han Zhe just smiled and ignored her. He reached out and gently pinched her face, then looked down at her. Actually, it was okay, each had its own flavor.

Shin Yuna’s cheeks were slightly red. She knew what he was looking at just now, and she said in a dissatisfied and coquettish voice: “Oppa, what are you doing? Do you dislike it? Didn’t you say you liked it yesterday?”

“I like it~” Han Zhe simply bent down and kissed her, and Shen Youna happily hugged him – it seemed that she wanted to be more intimate with Han Zhe than drinking water.

It was only after a short while that he realized and moved his face away, covering his mouth: “I haven’t brushed my teeth yet. Is there any strange smell?”

“No~ Okay, drink some water and wash up first. What do you want to eat later? If you keep going on like this, can you take responsibility today?”

Han Zhe just pinched her to warn her, and Shen Youna blushed and smiled: “No~ You need to rest for at least two or three days. But if Oppa asks me, Youna can also think of other ways to help you~”

She deliberately showed a charming look, but to be honest, her current look just made Han Zhe feel cute. He touched her face lovingly, and his mind couldn’t help but recall what she said last night and her passionate confession.

“Oppa, I like you, aren’t you aware of that?”

“I want Oppa to be my man. Oppa will be responsible, right? Although Oppa is a philandering man, he won’t make me sad or regretful, right?”

“I want Oppa to hold me tight”

‘I like you more than Yoo Ji Min’

Words like these were straightforward and emotional. She didn’t need to drink a few glasses of wine at all. She just kept confessing and acting coquettishly under the pretext of drinking to confirm Han Zhe’s feelings.

Looking at Shin Yuna in front of him, she has obviously become more intimate at this moment. From her unwillingness to let go of Han Zhe, it can be seen that she is attached to him.

All Han Zhe could do was hug her gently and touch her face:

“No need to be like this. Let’s wait until Yuna is well again. Oppa, I’m already satisfied to have you by my side now.”

His words moved Shen Youna even more. She bit her lower lip lightly, touched Han Zhe’s face with both hands, and gently clamped her long legs around him: “But isn’t it because Oppa is looking at me that he became like this?”

“Liu Zhimin, no, if it was Sooyeon, what would you do now? Oppa, just tell me the truth.”

Shin Yuna looked at him without blinking, her eyes full of love for him. The girl’s heart was like transparent glass, beautiful and clear.

“You don’t have to learn from others.” Before Han Zhe finished speaking, Shen Youna reached out and pinched his lips, chuckled and said, “I’m not trying to be a smart guy. I just want to be Oppa’s favorite girl, so I want to do this.

What Liu Zhimin can do for Oppa, I can do too!
What Sooyeon can do for Oppa, I can do too! “

She said this in a firm tone, and then she shyly buried her face in his arms, letting him lie on her and hug her, and she took the initiative to kiss him in his arms: “Oppa, teach me~ I am willing to do anything for Oppa”

“Because I like Oppa the most.”

“Sarangheyo~Oppa~”

Her confession seemed to never tire – candid, passionate, and direct.

Han Zhe’s eyes became softer. In fact, before meeting her, Han Zhe was still somewhat hesitant. It was because they had been together for so long that he was a little worried. Would he still be as moved by Shen Youna as he was by other girls? Or did he really regard her as a lovely sister?

But Shin Youna used her own way to make Han Zhe understand his thoughts. He really had a good impression of Shin Youna, and he could not bear her direct attack at all – just listening to it made him feel excited and touched.

“I got it.” Han Zhe touched her hair, and then bit her ear to teach her the method. Shen Youna certainly knew something, but she just didn’t know how to put it into practice. After hearing his words, she blushed and boldly began to experiment with these things between men and women.

Her immature movements and shy expressions, her bright eyes that are sometimes bold and sometimes shy, every move is very unforgettable.

After a long time, Shen Youna didn’t even have time to act coquettishly. She ran to the bathroom with a red face to wash herself. After coming out, she hugged him even more enthusiastically and refused to let go. She was wearing a black dress, which was obviously a mature outfit, but she even wanted to sit in his arms and let him feed her when she ate. This clingy attitude, or this type of girl, was the first time she had seen it around Han Zhe, and it was also unique.

After eating at home, she didn’t want to go back at all. She just clung to Han Zhe and acted coquettishly. She would be happy even if she could only stay with him for one more second. Seeing this, Han Zhe decided to take her out for a walk. Although they couldn’t go to crowded places due to their fame, they drove around Seoul, rented a quiet campsite at a campsite to eat barbecue, and went to a drive-in theater to watch a movie at night.

For Shen Youna, the fact that Han Zhe could spare a whole day to play with her was enough to satisfy her. In the evening, she stayed with him for more than half an hour in the parking lot before reluctantly returning to the dormitory.

As for the early birthday gifts, Han Zhe of course received them – including some incense and the like sent by other members of ITZY, and Shin Yuna’s gift was even more thoughtful. She knew that Han Zhe had no shortage of things that could be bought with money, so she sent him a jar of hand-folded paper cranes.

She said that some of the paper cranes recorded her feelings at the time like a diary. Han Zhe secretly opened a few of the ones that seemed to have words on them, and found that it was true.

“It’s raining in Tokyo today. Does Oppa like rainy days?”

“The concert is over. I can only fold ten paper cranes for Oppa today.”

“I’ve gotten better at it. Now I can fold a lot of paper cranes in a day. I decided to throw away the ugly ones I folded before and replace them with better ones for Oppa.”

There were hundreds of paper cranes piled up in a large glass jar. I don’t know how long she took to stack them. The jar was very beautifully chosen, and the paper cranes inside were arranged in order of different colors. From a distance, it looked like a rainbow. Han Zhe appreciated her kindness and decided to put the jar in his and Shin Yuna’s home and keep it carefully.

It was not until Han Zhe’s birthday that Liu Zhimin sent him a message. During her comeback period, Liu Zhimin was under strict supervision and had a lot of schedules, so she couldn’t go out at all. She could only take advantage of the free time at noon to go to Han Zhe in person with a gift, but she only stayed with him for thirty minutes before they had to part.

She gave Han Zhe a Crayon Shin-chan phone case, which was said to be a custom-made one, and she bought herself an A-Dai phone case, which was also a custom-made one. From the look of the case, there was a sentence in the corner that was obviously hand-painted in beautiful, but obviously not very fluent Chinese.

‘May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands of miles apart.’

It was obviously bought as a couple’s item, and the words were probably handwritten by her.

However, there is no writing on Liu Zhimin’s post – she was probably worried that if she wrote the same hand-drawn text, it would be discovered by fans. Apart from anything else, these fans are good at observing whether their idols are in love or not.

On the night of his birthday party, Han Zhe just had a simple dinner with his family at home. Jiang Xiuyan prepared a small cake for Han Zhe. Han Zhe happily shared the cake with his family. After making a wish, he had a birthday party with laughter and joy that he hadn’t had for a long time.

After the birthday party, Han Zhe’s life became much more regular.

Although he has confirmed his relationship with Shin Yu-na and has agreed to get back together with Yoo Ji-min, they are both idols. Even if he wants to be with Han Zhe, he actually doesn’t have much time, not to mention that he has to go back to see his parents and family during the occasional holidays, so Han Zhe doesn’t feel that he doesn’t have enough time.

As time flies, Han Zhe’s career progresses in an orderly manner and his life becomes very stable.

When he was in the company, he would call Zhao Haiyuan to the office from time to time to enjoy their own world, and have her accompany him to work or rest. When he got home, he would often be with Jiang Xiuyan, occasionally teasing Secretary Jin and Bae Yanzhu, and taking the time to tease Xue Run’e.

It wasn’t until one day in June that Han Zhe’s life began to change slightly.

It was during the three-day holiday when Xue Run’e asked for leave to return to her hometown, saying that she was going to attend the funeral of a relative there.

Pei Yanzhu is sick.

“Really don’t need to go to the hospital?”

Han Zhe reached out his hand worriedly and touched Pei Yanzhu’s forehead. Her head was still hot and she looked a little dazed. She slumped on the bed, wrapped herself tightly, and there was a stuffy smell in the room.

“No, I’ll take some antipyretics and lie down for a while. If it doesn’t work, I’ll go to the hospital. Oppa, remember to ask for leave for me.”

She closed her eyes, hid half of her face in the quilt with a haggard expression, and said sullenly: “Oppa, don’t get too close. I heard that the flu is quite serious recently. Let me sleep a little longer.”

Han Zhe could only nod gently, and finally touched her head, and couldn’t help but teasing: “Look at you, your aunt never asks for leave all year round, and she only went home these few days to attend the funeral of relatives in her hometown. You are sick on purpose, right?”

“Oppa.” Pei Yanzhu stretched out her tone unhappily. She didn’t have the energy to respond to his teasing. She closed her eyes and said, “Can you please bring me some medicine? Antipyretic medicine and cold medicine?”

“I understand.” Han Zhe walked out of the room and talked to Jiang Xiuyan who was packing to go out to work. Jiang Xiuyan thought about it for a while and smiled meaningfully.

“Is that so? Then Oppa, you must take good care of Yeonju these days. I just plan to stay at my mother’s place for two days. Her birthday is coming soon. Since I’ve been with Oppa, I’ve hardly lived with my mother anymore.
I don’t know if she’s doing well by herself, so I’ll stay with her for two days to see how she does.”

After Jiang Xiuyan finished speaking, she hooked her arms around Han Zhe’s neck, offered her red lips, smiled with her fox eyes, and pinched Han Zhe’s face after parting her lips: “Yeonju hasn’t had much chance to be alone with you recently. I saw her hesitate to speak several times. I guess she has something in her heart that she wants to tell you. It happens that even her aunt is not here these few days, so you can just stay with her and chat.”

After she finished speaking, she hugged Han Zhe tightly with some jealousy: “Say thank you to me!”

“Thank you, Xiuyan. I love you the most.” Han Zhe smiled and kissed her face, but she pushed him away in disgust: “I just put on my makeup. When I’m fully made up, just kiss my lips. I’ve told you so many times.”

She patted Han Zhe and let out a sigh, but she was reluctant to hug him and kiss him for a long time before she looked at her watch, picked up her phone, turned around and waved at him: “Then I will go home and stay for two nights before coming back. You should take good care of her at home these few days. Anyway, there is no difference between working at home and going to the company.”

“Got it. Slow down. Say hello to Auntie for me in the evening. When the new house is built, Auntie can come and live with you often.”

Before Han Zhe finished speaking, Jiang Xiuyan smiled and shook her finger at him: “No~ My mother will move in. Seeing so many women living in your house, she will definitely be very uneasy. Just be nice to me. I will take care of my mother’s affairs~”

Han Zhe could only nod and watch her leave before he found some cold and fever medicine from the medicine box and brought them to Pei Yanzhu’s room. After pouring warm water for her to drink, he pinched her still hot face and said, “If you don’t feel better after taking the medicine, remember to call me. I’ll be working in the study or watching TV in the living room. If you really don’t want to go to the hospital, I’ll ask the private hospital to prescribe the medicine and ask a nurse to bring it over for you to infuse.
What do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll make you something light, porridge? Or do you want to eat something else? “

Pei Yanzhu moved her face unhappily, not letting him pinch her, and crawled into the quilt, revealing only two pairs of tired eyes, looking at his face: “Is it okay for Oppa not to go to the company?”

“I’m the only one at home now. Who will take care of you if I leave?”

Han Zhe pulled the quilt for her, then walked into the bathroom, picked up her towel, wet it with warm water and wrung it dry.

Pei Yanzhu just whispered: “I can do it alone. It was like this before.”

“You are not alone now,” Han Zhe responded very naturally.

“.Yeah.” She turned over in bed, looked towards the sink, waited for Han Zhe to come over with a towel, and stretched out her hand, but was ignored by him.

Han Zhe pulled down her quilt a little and wiped her face with a towel. His movements were very delicate and gentle. Pei Yanzhu just blinked at him. After a while, she saw that he was going to continue to pull open the quilt, so she tried to grab his towel with a slightly red face: “No. Oppa, are you trying to be a hooligan?”

“It’s not like I haven’t seen it before. I still remember clearly what she looked like in a swimsuit when I went to the Maldives.”

Han Zhe smiled and joked, not letting her snatch it away. He was used to teasing her like this.

Pei Yanzhu’s face turned even redder, and she couldn’t help but raise her voice: “I’m just wearing pajamas, Oppa!!”

“Oh, I see.” Han Zhe blinked and realized that he had taken it for granted. He gave her the towel, but reminded her: “Wipe it first.”

He got up and walked to the bedside, looking at the scenery outside the window. After a while, he heard Pei Yanzhu whispered, “Okay.”

Han Zhe turned around, took the towel, and pretended to smell it. As expected, she widened her eyes in anger. He put the towel down before she could speak. Looking at her angry face, he couldn’t help laughing. He washed the towel with hot water before folding it and putting it on her forehead. “When I had a fever as a child, my grandma put a towel on me like this. I don’t know if it’s useful. Let me search it.”

“What was your temperature just now? I searched online and found that if the temperature is above 38.5 degrees, use a cold towel. If it is lower than that, use a hot towel to cool it down.”

After Han Zhe asked, she just blinked at him, until he stared at her, then she turned her head away embarrassedly: “It’s fine now. When I had a fever as a child, my aunt had the same problem.”

He just smiled, sat on the bed, leaned against the headboard, and looked at her sideways: “As long as you feel comfortable, you can’t keep covering it, just make it a little better.
How about a light lunch, red bean porridge? Or white porridge, millet porridge, black rice porridge, etc.? Lean meat porridge, vegetable porridge is also OK, or a tomato stew?”

“What does Oppa eat?” Pei Yanzhu just glanced at him and tucked her face into the quilt again, leaving only her forehead and a pair of big eyes on the edge of the quilt: “Oppa, don’t you really like these light foods?”

“Me? Just eat whatever you want. At worst, I can order takeout. Okay, choose one.”

Han Zhe urged her, and she chose a simple millet porridge. Han Zhe smiled and gently touched her hair: “Then you lie down and rest. Put the towel aside when it gets cold. I will wash it for you and hang it up later.”

“understood”

She was unhappy about being treated like a child by him all the time.

Han Zhe just smiled and went to cook porridge.

Pei Yanzhu lay on the bed, watching him leave, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. She didn’t know what she was thinking about. She was blank for a long time until he came in with porridge, and then she realized that she seemed to have been in a daze for a really long time.

“Hey you?” He put down the bowl and spoon with a smile.

“No need!” Pei Yanzhu sat up weakly. Han Zhe touched her head and felt that the temperature had dropped a little. “Not bad. If you still have a fever, tell me and I’ll buy you some medicine.”

Han Zhe thought that he could use his fame and fortune points to buy some common healing potions or something. They would not be enough to treat a cold in one go. In the future, if he encountered minor ailments like headaches or fever, it would be much easier to just take the potions given by the system and recover directly.

If we expand our thinking a little bit, maybe if we can get involved in the pharmaceutical industry in the future, the value of each of these medicines exchanged from the system may be immeasurable. As long as they can be produced wholesale, even on a small scale and with lower efficacy, it is enough to create a unicorn company.

It was not very convenient to see Pei Yanzhu eating with the bowl in her hands, especially because the bowl became hot. She couldn’t hold it for a while and could only eat by the bedside table. Han Zhe simply got up and went to the kitchen to get a tray, put her bowl of porridge on it, and snatched her spoon.

“I’ll feed you. After you finish eating, you can take a nap. You should feel better when you wake up.”

Pei Yanzhu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and shyly put up her messy long hair behind her ears. Han Zhe knew that she was shy, so he stopped joking and fed her seriously. When she finished eating, he cleaned up the bowl and spoon: “You take a rest. If you have anything, send me a message. I’ll come to you at dinner time.”

“.Um.”

She lay down again, looking at Han Zhe’s back, biting her lips lightly, and fell into a dazed thought.

At this moment, it seemed that it was time to confess to George Han about something that had troubled her for a long time.

To confess the lie to him.

Pei Yanzhu now has some confidence – at least during the time when she studied with Jin Youzhen and worked hard, she believes that her abilities have really improved a lot, and she is not much worse than those elites who graduated from prestigious schools. This finally gave her some confidence, and she began to think about how to explain to Han Zhe the lies she had told in the past.

Would he think I was dishonest? Would he hate me for my lies? My life was good now, was it really necessary for me to confess this and add so much uncertainty?

Pei Yanzhu thought about it for a long time, but thinking of Han Zhe’s performance just now, she finally made up her mind.

Confess to Han Zhe today!

Confess that you never went to college.

Confess that he lied to his aunt and also lied to him. After all, he is a patient today. Even if he is not feeling well, Han Zhe will not be furious, right?
Thinking about it carefully, Pei Yanzhu has never seen him quarreling with the people in his family in anger. Whenever someone around him is unhappy, he can notice it in time and comfort them with a smile. Even if he does something wrong and makes others angry, he always has a way to coax them.

So, this time, he should be very gentle and forgive me, right? No matter how bad it is, he won’t let me get out of his house, right?

Pei Yanzhu sighed deeply, but because she had made up her mind, she tossed and turned more and more. Not to mention that she had a cold and a fever, she was probably too nervous to fall asleep even if she took sleeping pills. In the end, she could only lie in bed for another two hours. Then she got up, put on her clothes, washed her face, tied her long hair into a simple ponytail, and looking at herself in the mirror, who was bare-faced and a little haggard and pitiful, Pei Yanzhu hesitated and decided not to put on makeup.

She also knew Han Zhe to some extent – he was very soft-hearted towards women, and if he did something wrong, it would be better for him to look pitiful.

After hesitating for a long time, Pei Yanzhu finally decided that it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one. If Han Zhe was really angry, she would pretend to be sick and act very uncomfortable to beg him. He would definitely feel sorry for her, right?
With such a mood, she reluctantly found a sweatshirt and trousers and ran out, following the sound, and walked to the study, where music was playing. Pei Yanzhu stopped and listened for a while – another girl group, can’t this oppa have a little style, don’t the chaebols on TV listen to classical music?
She hesitantly knocked on the door.

“Yeonju? Come in.”

Han Zhe’s somewhat unexpected voice sounded, she pushed the door open, and saw Han Zhe sitting in front of the computer looking at him.

“what happened?”

Han Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly.

Pei Yanzhu walked to his side slowly and said, “It’s just that. There are some things I think I should talk to Oppa about. There has never been a suitable opportunity before. It’s rare that no one else is at home today.”

“Confession? You can do this at any time. I will consider it carefully.” Han Zhe smiled and supported his chin, but his eyes were looking at her with sparkling eyes. Pei Yanzhu felt as if all her thoughts were seen through. She pursed her lips and did not dare to look at his face.

Just seeing her guilty and uneasy look, Han Zhe couldn’t help but frowned slightly: “Did you encounter any trouble? Or did you get into trouble?”

“No.” Pei Yanzhu’s eyes were wandering. Finally, Han Zhe saw that she couldn’t say it, and then he suddenly remembered… Ah!
The incident that determines whether Kim Mi-so will permanently work with sexy secretary skin has been triggered!
Han Zhe almost forgot about Pei Yanzhu’s matter – in his opinion, after living together for such a long time, Pei Yanzhu was no different from his relatives. Even if the relationship was not between a man and a woman, it was much closer than that of an ordinary oppa and sister, and even closer than the relationship between Shin Yu Na and him before.

Her true nature has long been clear to everyone. Apart from her occasional inferiority complex and her delicate and sensitive nature, she is essentially a kind, lovely and strong child.

Han Zhe didn’t urge her, but just turned off the music that was playing randomly in the study, put his hands on his chin and looked at her quietly.

Pei Yanzhu hesitated for more than a minute before whispering cautiously: “If I say that I have done something wrong to Oppa in the past, can Oppa forgive me?”

“What? You’re dating another man behind my back?” Han Zhe deliberately looked angry.

Pei Yanzhu quickly shook her head: “No! I didn’t! How could I…”

Halfway through her words, she realized something was wrong and stared at him angrily: “It has nothing to do with Oppa even if I date someone. Oppa gets girlfriends faster than I handle my work! And they never break up after they start dating. Oppa and I are just in a work relationship!”

“Really? That’s right.”

Han Zhe pretended to smile and said, “Then, Secretary Pei, what mistake did you make?”

He propped up his face and squinted his eyes to look dignified: “If it is a mistake made by the company, it must be handled impartially.”

“It’s not just a business mistake for the company.”

Pei Yanzhu said this while watching his expression carefully. Although she knew that he was deliberately teasing her at the moment, once he really confessed, this might become true!
So, after struggling for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, walked to Han Zhe, and bowed slightly.

“I’m sorry, Oppa, I lied to you!”
