Two days later, inside the coffee shop next to MBC TV station.
It was the same spot where Liu Zaitian and Liu Zaisuk had sat a few days ago. However, today, although Liu Zaitian was still quietly sitting in his original position, the person sitting across from him was not Liu Zaisuk.
Ding Ling Ling~~~
As the glass door of the coffee shop was pushed open, the wind chimes hanging from the ceiling jingled, and a tall figure immediately caught Liu Zaitian's eye, who had been watching the entrance.
"Jing'en, over here!"
Liu Zaitian stood up and softly greeted the figure who was looking around for him.
"Liu Zaitian, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you!" Walking over and sitting down in front of Liu Zaitian, Luo Jing'en said softly.
"It's fine, I just got here myself. What would you like to drink, Jing'en?"
Indeed, this Luo Jing'en was the future wife of Liu Zaisuk in the world Liu Zaitian had lived in before, and she would later become his sister-in-law, the MBC female anchor. Coincidentally, when Liu Zaitian first returned to the country, he had visited the friends he had made in Korea one by one, following the list of addresses given by Liu Yu. One of those families was the family of the woman sitting in front of him now.
In other words, Liu Zaitian had already known Luo Jing'en from that time. When he first saw Luo Jing'en, he was quite surprised, but after realizing she would become his sister-in-law, he deliberately deepened their relationship.
Thus, without Liu Zaisuk's knowledge, Liu Zaitian had quietly been in contact with Luo Jing'en.
"Regular coffee is fine. And, Liu Zaitian, what did you call me out here for?" Although she came from a wealthy family, Luo Jing'en was not picky about what she drank. However, she was more concerned about why Liu Zaitian had mysteriously called her out.
"Before we talk about that, I want to ask you a few questions, Jing'en!"
"Ask me a few questions?" She smiled and looked at Liu Zaitian with a playful glint in her eyes. "Go ahead, let me see what you're up to today."
Because of Liu Zaitian's deliberate efforts to befriend her, over time, Luo Jing'en had grown quite fond of him, the son of her father's friend. Now, she treated Liu Zaitian like a younger brother.
"Hehe, first question: Do you have a boyfriend? Please take this question seriously and answer honestly!" Liu Zaitian asked with a grin.
"Um~~~ No, I'm still single." Luo Jing'en answered without hesitation. However, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on her lips. "I get it, Liu Zaitian, you're not planning to introduce me to a boyfriend, are you?"
Liu Zaitian broke out in a cold sweat at her playful smile. "Jing'en, you're so smart!"
"Thank you for the compliment, but I don't think you should waste your time. I'm a confirmed bachelor, and I have no interest in those idol pretty boys." Before Liu Zaitian could continue, Luo Jing'en directly refused.
"Not an idol pretty boy? Then...?" Luo Jing'en suddenly thought of Liu Zaitian's current profession, and a possibility popped into her mind. "Liu Zaitian, you're not trying to set me up with a comedian, are you?"
Luo Jing'en thought Liu Zaitian was planning to introduce her to a comedian.
"How could I!" Liu Zaitian puffed out his chest, looking completely righteous. "For someone as beautiful and accomplished as you, Jing'en, I would only introduce you to a man of high moral character and excellent education."
However, as he spoke, Liu Zaitian bent down, putting on a servile face as he flattered Luo Jing'en. "Of course, he might not look as good as those idols, but I can guarantee that in terms of character, you won't find a better man in all of Korea."
"Oh~~~? If you say so, I'd like to meet him." To find someone like that in all of Korea? That's quite a bold claim!
"(*^__^*) Hehe… Jing'en, aren't you curious about who I'm introducing you to?" He continued to flatter her.
Liu Zaitian admitted that the longer he stayed on "Infinite Challenge," the thicker his skin became. Actions like being cute and affectionate, which he hadn't done for years, now came naturally to him.
"What's there to be curious about?" Luo Jing'en responded with a blank, cute expression.
O(╯□╰)o
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me, who are you planning to introduce me to?" Seeing Liu Zaitian's disappointed look, Luo Jing'en smiled and took a sip of coffee before slowly speaking.
"Jing'en, what do you think of... my brother?" Liu Zaitian looked at Luo Jing'en with anticipation.
"My brother?... Liu Zaisuk!???" Luo Jing'en's eyes widened in shock. Despite thinking about it, she never imagined that Liu Zaitian would introduce his own brother to her.
However... if that's the case...
Instantly, countless images of Liu Zaisuk hosting shows flashed through Luo Jing'en's mind.
"Yes, my brother. Jing'en, I'm not exaggerating. My brother's character is known to all of Korea; he is an exemplary man. And you, Jing'en, are beautiful, educated, and have a good temper. That's why I thought of introducing my brother to you." Liu Zaitian's mouth was like honey, spouting all sorts of flattery.
Luo Jing'en, meanwhile, slowly sipped her coffee and listened to Liu Zaitian's endless praise. Of course, if her left hand, which was trembling due to nervousness, weren't on the table, it would be perfect.
Liu Zaitian, who was constantly observing Luo Jing'en's reactions, noticed this.
A hint of joy began to spread in Liu Zaitian's eyes.
"Jing'en, I'm not lying to you. My brother is a man of unwavering commitment in relationships. Once he decides, it's for life. And you, Jing'en, are also very cautious about relationships, which is why I thought of introducing my brother to you. But now, it's up to you. If you agree, I'll call my brother, and you two can chat and get to know each other. If you like him, you can continue. If not, you can send him away without any problem." Liu Zaitian patted his chest, making a promise.
Now, it was up to Luo Jing'en to decide.
Slowly putting down her coffee cup, Luo Jing'en looked at Liu Zaitian, meeting his hopeful gaze, and finally nodded slowly.
