Chapter 77 This is my younger sister Ji-Soo

e who's not optimistic I'm guessing 13%," Kim Ji-won said after looking around, a little embarrassed.Min-min plays a spoiled, bad-tempered chaebol daughter in the drama, but Kim Ji-won is actually qui...Seeing this, the attacked Ki Jingyuan didn't do anything awkward either. He reached out and embraced the other person, slightly bending his legs.

After he responded, she noticeably felt the other person's body relax significantly, as if they had let out a breath.

The two of them were at the corner of a hallway in the hotel, no one around and the lights dim. All they could hear was the rumble of the elevator going up and down in the distance.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally separated. Jung Soo-jeong let go of his hand and lowered her tiptoes. She first glanced around shyly before seeming to remember something, quickly turning her gaze back to Ji-seong's face. She lightly pouted her lips, staring stubbornly into his eyes with a look of defiance.

"Whether or not you have a girlfriend, it doesn't matter. If you do... I'll just push her out."

Jeong Se-gyeong forcefully patted Chi Gyeong-won's chest and then, looking somewhat cool, walked directly towards the elevator, leaving Chi Gyeong-won with just her back.

She knew she couldn't hold back her emotions any longer if she stayed.

"Indeed, he is a worthy senior."

Pool Jingyuan sighed in admiration, chuckled softly, and followed behind.

They didn't speak as they waved goodbye to each other and returned to their respective rooms, but a subtle and ambiguous atmosphere lingered around them.

…………

EXO left the next day, reportedly flying back to the peninsula for a short stay. They participated in several program recordings before heading to Xia Guo for a few days of activities.

In the following days, Chi Jingyuan and Zheng Xiujing got along quite harmoniously. There was no awkwardness at all, much more natural than their previous attempts to get closer. However, there were no intimate interactions after that day.

Zheng Xiujing later felt that she was a little impulsive that day, and she couldn't be sure of Ji Kyung-won's thoughts. She had been rather conflicted these past few days.

As for Chi Jingyuan...

After several days of filming, the first few episodes of "The Heirs" shot in LA have officially wrapped up. The crew packed their things and flew back to the peninsula together.

The SBS and the production team left some staff in LA, and there will be some additional outdoor shoots here after the drama is finished. We'll need to come over then.

However, Chi Jingyuan's villa can be considered a place of retirement after achieving success.

The fact that the villa actually belonged to their family wasn't widely circulated. The few crew members who knew about it kept it under wraps, and the actresses who happened to know also remained silent, treating it as a secret between themselves and Chi Jingyuan, a unique bond of sorts.

However, many people on the crew are quite perceptive. Although they don't know the specifics, they each have their own guesses.

Another several hours of grueling time passed, and the plane landed at Incheon International Airport on the peninsula. As soon as Ji-yeong stepped back onto solid ground, he felt like a completely different person.

Afterward, the production team announced a two-day break to allow the actors some rest and time to tidy up. They will return to set the day after tomorrow to continue filming.

This drama, "The Heirs," is confirmed to air officially on the SBS Wednesday-Thursday slot starting October 9th. It will take over the time slot currently held by the popular drama "Master's Sun."

Before the official broadcast, we need to produce a few episodes in advance. There is still a month left, and the time is not very tight, but it's also not very generous.

Looking at Jeong Seo-jeong being taken away by her manager, she kept turning back occasionally, clearly showing reluctance. Ji Kyeong-won smiled and waved goodbye to her, then got into the car and drove home.

He just talked to the company on the phone, EXO is doing activities in Xia Guo these two days and will be back the day after tomorrow. It doesn't make sense for Ji Kyeong Won to rush to Xia Guo now.

Just like the crew, the company luckily gave him two days off, and he will return to activities with the group after they come back.

Of course, because of the TV drama filming schedule, there are quite a few schedules that Park Ji-won definitely won't be able to attend. This will depend on the coordination between the company and the production team at the time.

This overseas shoot lasted almost half a month. A lot of things happened and I met many new people. Seeing the streets of the peninsula again, Ji Jingyuan suddenly felt very fresh. He looked at the scenery outside the car with excitement and was in a good mood.

………………

Have you gone back to see your parents How are they doing lately

On the water bed, Erge was lying sprawled out, his voice languid as he spoke.

"They look so healthy and happy, it seems like they live a more joyful and carefree life than us."

"Beside him, a similarly posed Ki Jingyuan closed his eyes and replied with a hint of envy in his voice."

A few hours ago, Chi Jingyuan returned home and his second brother rushed back as soon as he received the news. The two brothers sat there chatting about their recent experiences for a while. After learning that he had been taken here by his second brother after his two-day vacation.

He said it was a high-end leisure club and he brought his brother here to relax because his brother has been busy filming and traveling back and forth recently.

It's definitely relaxing, the whole set of spa treatments, like hydrotherapy, massages, etc. Qi Yuan feels that all his physical fatigue has been swept away, he lies lazily on the water bed, feeling soft and weak throughout his body, closing his eyes makes him feel sleepy.

After a busy schedule, it's really nice to have a break like this, I enjoy it very much.

"Oh, Mom and Dad, they're just like this. They haven't even gotten that old yet, and they dump everything on us while they relax and retire! It's so infuriating..."

Whenever Ji Jingxu talks about this, he feels unbalanced inside.

Closing his eyes for a moment, Chi Jingyuan shook his head and opened them. He took a look at the surrounding decor.

The ceiling was white, with pale-colored wallpaper along the walls. A few modern paintings hung on either side. The lighting was bright but not harsh, casting a soft glow throughout the room.

The decor, from the rooms to the entire venue, is simple yet elegant, giving off a relaxed and comfortable vibe.

"Do you guys usually come here when you're tired"

After scanning his surroundings, he asked a question.

"That's not quite true. While the quality here is decent, it's not particularly high-end. Middle to upper-middle class folks can afford to shop here occasionally."

Er Ge let out a breath, sat up and looked over, his voice becoming increasingly strained as he spoke: "The few clubs we usually go to are quite high-end, serving only specific groups of people, not open to the public. However, I guess some services there might not be to your liking, so I brought you here. It's closer to home."

"If you're interested, I'll take you there next time."

In the end, he raised an eyebrow at Ji Jingyuan, his smile turning mischievous again.

"Thank you, no need. This is fine." Chi Jingyuan glanced at him obliquely.

He knew exactly what Chi Jingxu meant without even thinking.

“If you like it here, I'll give you my card later. Come over yourself when you have time.”

Ji Jingxu stretched and stood up, preparing to leave. "I understand, running errands as an artist is pretty tiring. It's good to relax when you have free time."

"By the way, you can bring your girlfriend along. There are activities for couples."

"The girl before broke up with her boyfriend and is not currently dating anyone."

"

Tsk, to say such things… You're my brother, I don't know you well enough

"

Saying that, Ji Jingxu changed his clothes and beckoned to the back: "Let's go, have dinner together tonight, and I'll introduce you to some friends."

Chi Jingyuan, hearing this, also got up and stretched languidly. He changed his clothes and followed slowly at the back.

…………

Chi Jingxu strode out of the room, taking eight-character steps towards the elevator. Just as he passed the corner, three women came face to face with him: a middle-aged woman accompanied by two young girls.

He glanced at it and found he didn't recognize it so he didn't pay attention.

This club is a notch below the others I frequent, and you probably wouldn't meet anyone you know here.

Unexpectedly, just as Chi Jingxu was about to step aside, the oldest woman among them saw him and was taken aback. Her face showed surprise. After looking at him carefully for a few moments, she suddenly spoke, “Perhaps… it's Chi Jingxu, Director Chi”

"Um, I, may I ask who you are... "

Suddenly being called, Ji Jingxu was also a little surprised. After looking over, he found that he really didn't have much impression, but he still politely asked a question.

In the mere two or three seconds he was spoken to, he straightened his legs that had been swaggering about in a zigzag pattern, and his entire demeanor underwent a drastic change. From the dissolute and languid air he had possessed while interacting with his younger brother, he instantly transformed into an elite individual who exuded an aura of authority.

"Oh, so it really is Chairman Ji Kyeong-seok. It seems I wasn't mistaken... I'm Jin In-hun, the husband of JINX company's Jin In-hun. We met at an EM banquet last time, do you remember"

When the woman saw Chi Jingxu, she immediately showed surprise and excitement on her face. She enthusiastically greeted him and introduced herself. The two young girls beside her remained silent, standing quietly by his side with their heads bowed. They occasionally stole glances at Chi Jingxu from the corner of their eyes.

"Uh…"

Ji Jingxu smiled, recalling something in his mind. After being reminded, he had a little impression.

It seems like I met her at a company cocktail party hosted by EM several months ago. We exchanged greetings. Her husband, Kim In-hoon, vaguely remembers her as being plump and running a small to medium-sized business.

But the impression was already fading. As one of the most distinguished guests at the dinner, he was greeted and toasted by many throughout the evening, and Pool Kyung-seok didn't stay long before leaving.

But since he had indeed seen her, he didn't say much. He wore a faint smile on his face and politely greeted her: "Yes, of course I remember, hello aunty."

Although wearing a smile, his tone was somewhat bland, carrying a hint of detachment and a deeply hidden arrogance. He didn't seem easy to approach and had quite an air of superiority.

Their family has always emphasized good manners. From Park Ji-seong to Park Ji-won, they both received similar upbringing and education. This respect is deeply ingrained in them.

However, etiquette is etiquette. Chi Jingxu's pride was even greater than Chi Jingyuan's. Knowing the other party's background, he naturally wouldn't be too close. The only people who could make him completely put aside his airs were his family and a few close friends.

"Oh my, the moment I saw you, I felt like I knew you. Turns out it was you, Councilor Chi! I never expected to meet you here, what a coincidence. What brings you here today..."

The women seemed completely unaware of the other's aloofness, instead sporting bright smiles and greeting them with warmth, familiarly bridging the gap.

“My brother happened to come back today. He’s been quite busy with work recently, so I brought him here to relax.”

Simply put, Chi Jingxu looked back with some confusion as to why Chi Jingyuan hadn't caught up for ages.

After a few seconds, Ji Jingyuan appeared from the corner of the corridor, dragging his feet while holding his phone and glancing at it. His fingers flew across the screen as he messaged someone.

Qi Jingyuan looked up and saw the situation in front of him. After pressing it one last time, he put his phone away, revealing a smile that was the same as Qi Jingxu's. He walked over to stand beside them.

The two girls beside the woman's eyes widened slightly upon seeing Qi Jingyuan's face, a look of shock flashing in their eyes. After stealing a glance at each other, they lowered their heads.

This is my younger brother, Jingyuan.

"Goodness! I didn't expect Chairman Chi's younger brother to be so handsome, and he seems familiar... Both the older and younger brothers are so good-looking. Ah jjia, hello, I'm..."

When the women saw Chi Jingyuan, they were also a little surprised. It wasn't that they recognized him, but rather that they felt that this child's image and temperament were truly admirable.

She heaped praise on Chi Jingyuan with genuine enthusiasm. After reintroducing herself, she seemed to remember something and patted the two girls beside her, introducing them with a smile: "Oh, I forgot to introduce you! These two are my daughters."

She pointed to the older one on the left and said, "This is my older sister, Ji-un."

Then, he pointed to the younger and shorter girl on the right, the one who had been most surprised by Ji Jingyuan just now:

This is my younger sister, Ji-soo.
