Chapter Ninety-Four: Please Have a Home-Cooked Meal
MC Lounge
Iu, reclining on the sofa, was in a daze with her phone in her arms.
The mobile phone screen shows Li Chenghao's phone number dialing screen.
Today is Sunday, and Lee Sung-ho is saying that he will be back today, and IU is not sure if he is still in Huaxia or has returned to Seoul.
Mom and Dad said to take it home for dinner on the weekend, IU called home and said that Lee Sung-ho had gone to China on a business trip, and his younger brother Lee Jong-hoon secretly leaked that Mom and Dad thought that IU was looking for an excuse to fool them.
Isn't it a business trip, don't you just go back to Seoul on Sunday, yes, then it's okay to invite you to dinner at home on Monday.
"Knock Knock"
Hearing the knock on the door, IU sat up straight, put her phone on the coffee table, picked up the magazine next to her, and read it.
"Please come in"
A crack opened in the door, and Han Teh stood outside the door and looked at IU: "Zhi'en, President Lee Sung-ho nim is back." ”
I chuckled in my heart.
Why is there a sense of excitement to hear the good news, it's strange that I didn't win the lottery when I didn't buy a lottery ticket.
The magazine covered half of IU's pretty face, and said lightly: "What does it have to do with me." ”
Han Te outside the door scratched his head, it's not impossible to say this, but between lovers, one of them should be very excited and happy after returning from going overseas to the sea.
Why did IU react so calmly, could it be that the two were having an awkward relationship?
Closing the door, Han Te straightened his collar, nodded to the three players passing by, and found a quiet unmanned lounge to lie down on the sofa and watch Bae Joo-hyun's live broadcast.
IU kept reading the magazine for about half a minute, and after confirming that Hant had left, he hurriedly got up and walked to the door of the lounge and locked the door with his backhand.
Ran back to the couch, picked up the phone on the coffee table, took a smooth breath and pressed the dial button.
President's office on the 7th floor
Li Chenghao supported the armrest of the office chair with his left elbow, touched the unshaved stubble on his chin with his index finger, and focused his eyes on the computer screen.
IU's morning stage performance of "Your Meaning" has been played for the third time.
The mobile phone was adjusted to vibrate, and Li Chenghao didn't notice it when IU called.
At the end of the first song, he picked up the mobile phone on the table and glanced at it, and saw that the caller ID was IU, Li Chenghao hurriedly grabbed the mouse and closed the video window.
Ahem
Clearing his throat, he answered the phone and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Hearing Li Chenghao's voice, IU asked with concern, "Is Ping An back?" ”
"Yes"
"It's hard to travel on business, isn't it?"
Li Chenghao's originally stretched brows instantly locked.
At this moment, is IU caring about herself?
has nothing to do, she must have something to ask for.
"Whose concert tickets are you going to have this time?"
MC Lounge
IU returned to the main page of her phone, opened the memo and said word by word: "I was very worried when you suddenly said that you were going to deal with things the night before, afraid that you would do something impulsive for me because of what happened at Kim Dong-eun's birthday party last time." ”
"I know that you went to China on a business trip, in fact, I haven't slept well in the past two days, what if you encounter any accidents on a business trip, can you handle it alone?"
"I don't know if you are in Huaxia as you are in Seoul, busy from morning to late at night every day, whether you eat on time, you must miss the food in Seoul over there."
"How long has it been since you had a home-cooked meal, I thought about it, you helped me so much, I want to repay you, so I want to treat you to a home-cooked meal, you will definitely not refuse me."
President's Office
The more Li Chenghao listened, the more confused he became.
I can hear the main line of the story, and the departure turn is finally set on the three words 'home-cooked meal'.
But there are two problems.
First, you have to ask yourself to do so much in front of a home-cooked meal, and it is likely that it is not an ordinary home-cooked meal.
Second, the pace and frequency of the words on the phone are so fast, it is not like expressing inner thoughts in real time, but like reciting lines that have been prepared a long time ago.
"Are you listening?"
Li Chenghao didn't answer and asked: "You just read it out, what lines from a TV series?" ”
was revealed to be a line read along, IU was a little flustered: "It's not a TV series line, I really want to thank you for taking us to the concert, that's why I invited you to a home-cooked meal." ”
Standing up and standing by the window, Li Chenghao tentatively probed IU: "Li Zhien, do you think you are very smart?" ”
IU replied hesitantly: "What do you mean?" ”
There is no confidence on the phone, on the surface it is a reward, but in fact, I dug a pit for myself to jump.
"What are you thinking, I don't know?"
Inexplicably, IU's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, probably because of the weakness of the heart, and he stammered more than just now: "I didn't think about anything." ”
"Home cooking? Your family asked you to take me back. ”
IU blurted out, "Shirley told you?" ”
Only she and Shirley know about this, and the only reason why Li Chenghao is so clear is that Shirley leaked the news.
This time she really wronged Shirley, Li Chenghao and her did not exchange any contact information, it can't be that Shirley wrote a letter to the TVN Broadcasting Bureau to send to Li Chenghao.
Li Chenghao, who was standing by the window, showed a smug smile, and really let him guess correctly.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess, suddenly saying something about home-cooked meals, the biggest possibility is that IU's family asked her to take her back to meet and understand.
After all, the two have been in a public relationship for a while, and it is normal for the family to have such a request.
On the contrary, there was no reaction from Lee Jae-hyun's side, this kind of indifferent chaebol family is a deformed and strange family, which also made Lee Sung-ho feel more relaxed.
Li Chenghao didn't let Shirley take the blame, and said: "I know what you're thinking, so why should I go home with you to meet your family?" ”
reason
In the past two days, IU has been pondering the reason repeatedly.
She really didn't sleep well, but she wasn't entirely worried about whether Li Chenghao ate on time or whether he would be too tired from work, but more looking for a reason that Li Chenghao could accept.
She thought of a reason to try.
"Article 9 of the lover contract: When Party A and Party B see each other's family members, they need to greet each other according to their identities as lovers;"
"Article 10 of the lover's contract: The gifts received by both parties belong to me;"
"Therefore, it was agreed in the contract to meet the families of both parties, and this time it was just to see my family first."
Justified
Lee Sung-ho accepted this reason, but: "It's okay to go, now I'm an actor, and you have to pay me for appearance." ”
IU instinctively protested: "You didn't give me an appearance fee when I had dinner with Kim Dong-eun and Han So-hee that day." ”
"Stop, you invited you to dinner that day, and I accompanied you, so you have to settle the expenses for that day."
What is this called, this is called stealing chickens and rice.
"And Kim Dong-eun's birthday party......"
Li Chenghao interrupted IU: "Time, address." ”
