Chapter 73 Encountering Milk Dragon Again

The next morning.

Lin Yuan yawned as he walked to the refrigerator, opened it, took out a glass of ice water, and took a sip.

'Hoo~'

Cool!

Lee Ji-eun was wearing loungewear and holding a freshly baked loaf of bread topped with a poached egg. Milk was already laid out on the table.

"Breakfast is ready. Have you brushed your teeth and washed your face?"

"Everything's been tidied up." Lin Yuan pulled out a chair, sat down, picked up a piece of bread, stuffed it into his mouth, glanced at the tightly closed guest bedroom door, and asked, "Is Lizhi still not awake?"

"She went to practice at JYP, saying she's been too lazy lately and has gained weight." Lee Ji-eun sat down and ate elegantly in small bites, her gaze sweeping over Lin Yuan's phone beside her. "By the way, Dad said he wants you to go back home. Have you bought your plane ticket yet?"

"I've already told Xia Yuan, my flight is early tomorrow morning." He looked at Li Zhi'en, "What about you? Come back with me, it'll be a good way to clear your head, my mom keeps talking about you."

After listening, Lee Ji-eun opened her phone and checked the schedule. Looking at the densely packed schedule for her alone, she sighed helplessly, "Never mind, you go back with Xia Yuan. I can't find the time here. Remember to say hello to Mom and Dad for me."

She already regrets becoming a celebrity. Otherwise, given their current relationship, she might have been able to bring up marriage when meeting the parents this time. Unlike now...

And for some reason, she always felt that something was about to happen, and she felt uneasy, especially after Lin Yuan said he would book the plane tickets, this feeling became even stronger.

"Alright!" Lin Yuan didn't mind. After all, that's how artists' schedules are. Getting a good eight hours of sleep every day is a luxury. "I'll send the audio to the teacher in a bit. What are your plans for today?"

"I have a poster shoot this afternoon, so I'm free this morning." Lee Ji-eun swallowed her bread, slurped up some milk to smooth herself out, then rested her chin on her hands, staring intently at him. "Would you like to come to the supermarket with me later, my dear boyfriend?"

!!!

"Cough cough cough!"

Lin Yuan was startled by her strange address, and the milk in his mouth sprayed all over Lee Ji-eun's face, instantly making the atmosphere tense.

Lee Ji-eun froze for a moment, then shouted, "Hey! You...!"

He immediately grabbed some tissues. "I'm...I'm sorry, cough cough, let me wipe it for you." He carefully wiped away the white milk.

Lee Ji-eun stared intently at him, her eyes flashing with malice.

After wiping everything clean and confirming that there were no residues, Lin Yuan sat back down with peace of mind and continued eating.

"By the way, what are you going to the supermarket for? You can order takeout if you need anything at home. It would be troublesome if you got stuck in traffic."

Lee Ji-eun pointed to the miscellaneous items on the ground, "You only know how to buy dogs, but you don't even prepare dog food." Then she pointed to the refrigerator, "And, someone was sneaking food in the kitchen late last night, don't we need to restock?"

Lin Yuan immediately felt guilty. He had indeed been a little hungry after taking a shower last night, so he casually grabbed some snacks from the refrigerator. He didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.

"Okay, okay, let me finish eating, then I'll put on my hat and mask and we'll head out."

Hearing a satisfactory reply, Lee Ji-eun's unease subsided a little.

……

Half an hour later, the two men, fully armed, appeared in a nearby large warehouse supermarket.

Because it was a weekday morning, there weren't many people in the supermarket; most of them were housewives leisurely strolling around with their shopping carts.

Lin Yuan pushed the cart, while Li Zhi'en wore a huge fisherman's hat and a black mask, revealing only her bright eyes, and moved between the shelves like a cheerful little deer.

When she sees a snack she likes, she throws it into the cart without hesitation. In no time, the bottom of the cart is filled with all kinds of nuts, potato chips and cheese sticks.

"That's enough, are you running a convenience store?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but speak up to stop them, looking at the cart that was almost full.

"Aren't you going to eat any?" Lee Ji-eun retorted matter-of-factly, then grabbed another box of strawberries and put it in. "What if one day you get invited out to dinner by some pretty noona, and I'm left alone at home with nothing but these?"

Well, so that's what they were waiting for him to do.

Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly, pushed the cart to the pet supplies section to carry a large bag of dog food.

Just as he bent down to put the dog food into the bottom of the cart, Lee Ji-eun suddenly tugged at his clothes from behind.

She lowered her voice to a whisper, as if she were doing something wrong, and pointed across the street, saying, "Lin Yuan... look over there. Am I seeing things?"

Lin Yuan looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a petite figure wearing a beige trench coat and a mask standing in front of the fresh food shelf next door, holding a box of Korean beef and carefully comparing prices.

Seemingly noticing the gaze directed at them, the figure turned around in confusion.

Eyes facing each other.

For a moment, the air seemed to fall silent.

Those signature, gentle eyes that crinkle into crescent moons when they smile are filled with surprise.

"Park... Park Chorong?" Lee Ji-eun lowered the brim of her hat, her voice full of complex emotions.

Lin Yuan stood there, speechless for a moment.

Is Seoul really that small?

Park Chorong put down her things and walked over, bowing slightly to Lee Ji-eun. In her grandmotherly voice, she said, "IU sunbaenim, what a coincidence! You're here to buy things too?"

As she spoke, she secretly winked at Lin Yuan. Her eyes seemed to be electrified, and Lin Yuan immediately trembled.

Moreover, his girlfriend, Lee Ji-eun, a senior in the entertainment industry, was right next to him, which made him feel even more guilty. He then turned his head to look to the side.

Lee Ji-eun narrowed her eyes slightly, taking in the movements of the two of them.

She smiled and said to Lin Yuan, "We're almost out of tissues at home, go to the household goods store and get some."

Lin Yuan felt as if he had been granted a pardon and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, you guys chat first, I'll go get it right away."

After saying that, he pushed the fully loaded shopping cart and quickly disappeared from their sight.

Lee Ji-eun turned around, casually took off her mask, leaving only a baseball cap on her head, and asked, "Chorong-ssi, don't you have any schedules today? You're shopping alone?"

Although it was a public place, the corner was sparsely populated, and her delicate and highly recognizable national face was immediately revealed, carrying a subtle aura of a senior.

Park Chorong pulled down her mask, revealing a gentle smile: "Yes, IU sunbaenim. I usually run into you at the TV station or beauty salon, this is the first time I've bumped into you at the supermarket."

She glanced in the direction Lin Yuan had disappeared and said meaningfully, "You and Lin Yuan have such a good relationship, you even went to the supermarket together. I heard that Dispatch has been asking around about the LuMin group lately, you should be careful."

Her words were soft, and her unique "baby voice" sounded harmless, but the meaning behind them made Lee Ji-eun's eyes narrow slightly.

She's another tough opponent, even more difficult to deal with than Bae Joo-hyun. Her words are full of probing.

"We're dating, so it's normal for us to go shopping for groceries together." Lee Ji-eun asserted her ownership directly, with a "what's the use" attitude.
