Chapter 39

"Too early, it's not appropriate!" Honest people don't lie, but when they do, everyone believes them.

Now, Soo-young understood, "Yes, Seung-lin oppa's family has many rules, and Seung-lin oppa is quite introverted. Three months isn't a long time, and we both have our own jobs, so we haven't really gotten to know each other well... Meeting the family really isn't appropriate..."

"So, are you saying you shouldn't be an idol anymore, since you don't even have time for a relationship!" Although she accepted this explanation, Mrs. Choi still grumbled...

...

Finally, the marriage pressure on Choi Soo-young seemed to have passed for now, but she still needed to inform Lee Seung-lin. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, it would be awkward, and they might even have to put on a show!

Originally, Choi Soo-young should have called Lee Seung-lin, as she was the one involved. However, since they had only known each other for a short time, despite getting along well, it wasn't that comfortable. So, this difficult task fell to Choi Ji-jung.

Watching his cousin leave, Choi Ji-jung felt a bit desolate. This isn't my business, so why should I get involved...

...

The phone rang, and Lee Seung-lin was annoyed. Who could this be, calling at such a time? Don't they know I'm busy?

What was Lee Seung-lin doing? Cooking!

What's so special about cooking? He was so busy, his hands were full, and sweat was dripping from his forehead...

To be fair, Lee Seung-lin could cook, even if it wasn't particularly delicious. It was enough to satisfy his own stomach!

Earlier, when it was mentioned that Yoo Jae-suk was very hungry, that was because he was starving...

Now, Lee Seung-lin wasn't cooking for himself. He was looking at cookbooks and A4 recipes he had printed from the internet, clearly putting in a lot of effort! For whom? Of course, for his precious son, Huh-huh.

Lee Seung-lin only learned this from his mother recently. Huh-huh had just turned one and could eat soft foods... Luckily, his mother reminded him, otherwise, Lee Seung-lin might have kept Huh-huh on a bottle until elementary school...

"BABA!" Huh-huh seemed hungry, clapping his chubby little hands and calling out.

Lee Seung-lin had planned to finish cooking before answering the call, but the person on the other end seemed very patient, and the phone kept ringing.

"Good boy, don't worry. Your Uncle Ji-jung is calling, and your porridge will be ready soon!" Lee Seung-lin answered the call irritably, "Hello, Ji-jung, what's the rush? I'm busy making porridge for Huh-huh!"

Making porridge for Huh-huh... I didn't even answer the phone... Men can be jealous too... How evil (Oh no, I'm being influenced by a certain reader who claims to be androgynous)...

"There's something I need to ask you for help with!"

Choi Ji-jung felt extremely frustrated today. Not only did his cousin put him in a difficult situation, but listen to the voice on the other end, "Come, good boy, try Dad's cooking... It's good, right? I tasted it myself, it's quite delicious... Hey, don't touch it yourself, it's hot. Dad will feed you, come, ah..."

After a long time, when Choi Ji-jung thought he had been forgotten, he really had been forgotten, "Hey, Ji-jung, you're still on the phone? Oh, right, you said you had something to say. What is it? I still need to do the dishes and take Huh-huh for a walk to get some fresh air... I'm telling you, the kid is growing, and he needs exercise..."

What's wrong with him? The kid hasn't been born for just a day or two. Why has he become a full-time dad? I should go see him in person, this phone call isn't getting anywhere, "Wait for me, I'll come to you!"

...

In the park near Lee Seung-lin's house, he shouted excitedly, "No, absolutely not!"

The people around looked at this familiar "full-time dad" and wondered why they never saw the mother. They thought it was two men (again influenced by a certain reader, just a joke, this plot only appears in this chapter)...

As for why Lee Seung-lin was so agitated, everyone gossiped and filled in the blanks on their own. Is this the beginning of a breakup...

Feeling the strange looks from the people, Lee Seung-lin thought it was because his voice was too loud and gave them an apologetic look, "You want me to be Soo-young's shield and pretend to be her boyfriend? I absolutely won't agree to that." He added, "Besides, I already have a son. Do you think Soo-young can find a single dad in your family?"

"Not biologically!"

Oh, you're ruthless. How could you come up with such a reason? My son looks just like me. I knew he was my son the first time I saw him... Speaking of which, why did you go to the hospital first? Were you checking something?

Knowing the guy was stubborn, Lee Seung-lin tried a different approach, "Huh-huh, look how bad this uncle is. He says you're not my biological son and wants to find you a mom, even if it's fake. But you don't want a mom, right?"

Huh-huh was very cooperative... He stretched out his little hands toward Choi Ji-jung, "MAMA"

Lee Seung-lin was about to cry. Son, have I ever taught you to call someone mom? Think about how long it took for you to learn to call me "BABA"...

Choi Ji-jung found this little nephew increasingly adorable and happily picked up the little guy...

The crowd's eyes sparkled. Is this the beginning of a role reversal...

They had been downstairs for a long time. It was time to take the little guy home. He needed to think of a good reason to get rid of this stubborn guy, "Alright, let's go upstairs and talk!"

Watching the harmonious and warm family of three, the crowd felt relieved. They must have made up, and true love prevails... Even if it's a bit strange for two men to be together, it's okay...

"Help her!" Back upstairs, Choi Ji-jung still insisted.

Lee Seung-lin was frustrated, "Huh-huh, do you think your uncle is mentally unstable?"

"HU~HU~!"

Lee Seung-lin excitedly said to Choi Ji-jung, "See, my son can say his own name..."

But that's not what we're discussing... "Let's get to the point!"

Fine, you saw through me... "You said one of the main reasons your family is pressuring Soo-young to get married is because her group has no future, so they don't want her to continue. Right?"

"Exactly!"

Lee Seung-lin knew that the plan he had for Xiao Shuijing wouldn't work with Choi Ji-jung. It was all based on everything going perfectly, and if one thing went wrong, the outcome would be different.

However, he had a recent worry that might not only help Soo-young but also solve his own problem, "Do you know Yoo Jae-suk?" Getting a nod, he continued, "He's getting married on the 6th of next month and asked me to write a congratulatory song and perform it. This wedding will be a national event, and I need a duet partner. Let Soo-young do it, and she'll definitely become famous!"

He was confident in the quality of the song, even though he didn't write it. It had been tested by 1.3 billion people in China, and he was proud of it!

Seeing Lee Seung-lin trying to avoid the issue, Choi Ji-jung had no choice. This was a good idea, but it needed Soo-young's consent. So, he sent her a text with the address and let her come and talk about it herself!
