Chapter 72

"Ha ha, anyway, I was just telling the truth. Even without me, the number of people had already reached the required amount, so I was just adding a little extra. No need to thank me!" Li Huan said with a smile. Back then, because of this matter, he almost ended up in a real tragedy. If it weren't for his stepfather's efforts, who knows what might have happened... He might have had to pick up someone else's soap.

But Li Huan had never regretted it. When the ten-thousand-person gathering was successfully convened, he was extremely excited.

"This isn't just adding a little extra. I really appreciate it. Can you give me your phone number? I'll contact Kim Jong-min. Although he's currently doing public service, there's still a chance he can come out. When that happens, we'll treat you to a meal, so please promise me!" Shin Ji said with genuine sincerity.

Li Huan thought about it. He had originally wanted to build a network of connections, so he didn't say much and directly gave his phone number to Shin Ji.

After some careful thought, perhaps it was true that Kim Tae-yeon had also been forced to attend the ten-thousand-person gathering, which is why she considered him a bad guy.

...

"Achoo!"

"Unnie, do you have a cold?"

"No, Hyun-ah, you have to believe me. That guy is really a delinquent!" Kim Tae-yeon, who had gone to the restroom to make a call, said anxiously after sneezing.

Although in her memory, she had no direct contact with Li Huan, he seemed to be the leader of the students who had coerced her into attending the ten-thousand-person gathering. At least, that's how it looked to Kim Tae-yeon, and she had even seen him being taken away by the police.

No matter what the situation was now, Kim Tae-yeon always felt that he wasn't a good person. Thinking back, he had even said he had choked Teacher Yoo Yong-jin. Such a lawless person definitely wasn't a good person.

Thinking about how the maknae had been sending messages on her phone recently, even though no one had asked, they could guess who she was messaging. Kim Tae-yeon was really worried that the maknae might be deceived or influenced by him, so as soon as she had a break, she hurriedly called Xu Xian.

...

Xu Xian found it a bit strange. She certainly didn't doubt Tae-yeon Unnie's words, but Kim Tae-yeon's account wasn't very clear. She only said she had seen Li Huan with over a hundred followers and that he had been taken away by the police, advising her to be careful.

Although she believed Kim Tae-yeon was telling the truth, after this period of interaction, Xu Xian felt that Li Huan was a good person. Although he seemed a bit hot-tempered in their conversations, he seemed to be a reasonable person. Besides, wasn't he a member of the Peace Guardians?

Xu Xian thought for a moment and replied seriously, "Thank you, Unnie. I'll be careful. It's time for class again, so I'll hang up now. We can talk more when I get home tonight!"

"Alright, be careful on your way back!" Kim Tae-yeon said like a mother before hanging up.

But Xu Xian, while saying that, was thinking that she should clarify this matter to avoid any misunderstandings. If Li Huan was really a bad person...

"What should I do?"

Xu Xian stared blankly at the silver medal in her hand, feeling a bit troubled.

...

After exchanging phone numbers with Shin Ji, Li Huan drove home. It wasn't until late at night that Jiang Min-kyung returned home.

Then...

"Oppa, today is the 13th!"

"Mm-hm!"

"Oppa, tomorrow is the 14th!"

"Mm-hm!"

"Oppa, tomorrow is White Day!"

"Mm-hm, mm-hm!"

"Oppa, do you even know what I'm talking about?"

"It's late, you should go to bed!"

And that was it... the conversation ended there.

...

White Day is generally considered an extension of Valentine's Day, originating in Rome in the third century.

According to legend, the Roman emperor established Valentine's Day to commemorate a pair of lovers who were to be executed on February 14 for violating a ban on love and marriage. A month later, on March 14, the couple pledged their eternal love, and this became known as White Day, which later spread to other countries.

Generally, on Valentine's Day, if the person who received a gift also has feelings for the giver, they will return a gift on White Day to express their affection.

This day is also a popular time for sales of products like roses, chocolates, and small umbrellas...

The entertainment industry is also very busy on this day, with outdoor performances and special concerts in the evening.

But for lonely singles, this day...

...

March 14th.

At 3 PM, in a high-end coffee shop on the second floor of a building in Gangnam's Samsung-dong.

"Hello, sir, is there anything I can get for you?"

Li Huan, dressed in a black suit, looked very mature and handsome. He pushed open the coffee shop door and walked in. The pretty waitress at the entrance smiled and asked.

"No, I have a meeting with a friend!"

Li Huan smiled and waved, then walked to the left side of the coffee shop.

Soft music played in the coffee shop, and although there were a few customers, it was quite empty. This made the place feel very quiet, and having a cup of coffee or afternoon tea here would be quite pleasant.

He approached a corner booth, which wasn't by the window, so the lighting wasn't very bright. With a potted plant nearby, it wasn't the best spot.

Seeing the woman in a black trench coat, wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, looking at her phone, Li Huan took a deep breath and walked over.

"Are you Miss Han Chae-young?"

Han Chae-young, who was in a state of confusion, felt a jolt when she heard someone call her name and quickly turned around.

Han Chae-young, originally named Kim Ji-young, is a South Korean actress born on September 13, 1980, in Seoul, South Korea. She learned piano from a young age and later studied clarinet and flute, growing up in an artistic environment.

In 1998, she entered DePaul University in Chicago to study finance. In 1999, she made her debut and played the role of the male lead's sister, Shim Ae, in "Autumn in My Heart." In 2004, she starred in the Sino-Korean drama "Beijing, My Love," which opened the Chinese market for her. In 2005, she was named the most popular actress of the year for her roles in "Dae Jang Geum" and "Only You." In 2007, she married businessman Choi Dong-gun.

The Han Chae-young in front of him was mostly disguised, but even though her face wasn't fully visible, as she slowly stood up, her tall and fashionable figure was still very eye-catching.

She wore a black pencil skirt coat, a purple dress underneath, and black stockings, looking very sexy. Her long, beautiful legs caught Li Huan's attention for a moment, but today was an important meeting, and he didn't want to get into trouble over small things.

"You're a super..." Han Chae-young couldn't continue after saying four words. Although it was uncomfortable to call him a "super handsome guy" on the phone, it was bearable. But now, face-to-face, how could she say it?

What surprised Han Chae-young was that, in her imagination, this guy would be like most entertainment reporters—creepy, haggard, or middle-aged. But she never expected him to be such a handsome and masculine man.

Of course, this wasn't the main point today...
