In the corridor on the ninth floor, Li Chenghao stood behind Pei Zhengxian and raised his head to avoid looking.
Bae Zhengxian entered the password and opened the door, calling Li Chenghao: "Come in."
Li Chenghao nodded slightly and followed Pei Zhengxian into the house.
After closing the door and taking off his shoes at the entrance, Li Chenghao heard a familiar voice coming from the direction of the living room.
"Dad, is dad back?"
Pei Zhuhyun ran towards Pei Zhengxian, who had taken off his shoes, and got directly into Pei Zhengxian's arms, caring: "Why have you been here for so long? Dad, have you not encountered any trouble? If anything happens, you must tell me, I really
Knowing Li Chenghao, I can beg him."
Maybe it’s because Bae Zhengxian is standing directly in front of Li Chenghao because his height and figure are almost the same.
It may also be that Bae Joo Hyun never expected that Lee Sung Ho would go home with his father.
The moment Bae Jung-heon held Bae Joo-hyun's shoulders and turned aside to look away, Bae Joo-hyun saw Lee Sung-ho standing at the entrance of his house holding a black plastic bag in his hand.
Li Chenghao only said three words: "Excuse me."
Pei Zhuxuan subconsciously raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, took a closer look at the entrance to the entrance, confirmed that Li Chenghao was really standing there, then quickly turned to look at Pei Zhengxian, pointed at Li Chenghao and then pointed at Bae Zhengxian and asked: "Dad,
What's going on now and why is he standing there?"
"Silly girl, President Li is the guest I invited, why can't you just stand there."
With that said, Pei Zhengxian waved towards Li Chenghao and said: "President Li, please come in quickly."
Bae Zhuhyun was completely confused, her eyes slowly moving from right to left following Li Chenghao's steps.
Watching him sit on the sofa in the living room, he also saw his father take out a cigarette and hand it to Li Chenghao. It was not until he heard the sound of a lighter that Pei Zhuxuan came back to his senses.
"No, why is President Nim with my father?"
After taking a puff of cigarette, Li Chenghao felt that the family atmosphere was quite good, and no one stopped him from smoking in the living room.
Spreading his hands, he said, "I chatted with my uncle for a long time in the afternoon, and I happened to have no place to eat in the evening, so my uncle invited me to his home as a guest."
Pei Zhuxuan raised her hand and waved the air a few times: "Dad, can you go to the balcony to smoke?"
Pei Zhengxian then chuckled and said, "President Li, let's go to the balcony to smoke. This girl won't let me smoke when I'm at home."
Li Chenghao originally thought that Pei Zhengxian was the undisputed master at home. After all, the men of his generation were very chauvinistic, and women almost only did housework at home.
At the very least, Li Chenghao's mother did not dare to have any objections in front of Li Zaixian, even though her mother was also a wealthy daughter.
balcony
Pei Zhengxian blew out a puff of smoke: "That girl doesn't understand the benefits of smoking at all."
"Maybe"
"How long has President Li been smoking?"
He held a cigarette between his thumb and middle finger on his right hand, and shook the ashes lightly with his index finger: "Me? If you really want to say it, I should have started smoking when I was fifteen."
"Fifteen years old?"
"If there is such a thing, let's not mention it."
Li Chenghao didn't want to mention his childhood in front of outsiders. Just like the last time IU saw the old injury on his arm, Li Chenghao had been asking himself if he had said anything wrong.
He doesn't like others to look at him with sympathy after knowing what happened to him when he was a child.
He doesn't need anyone's sympathy, and he won't use his bad experiences as a child to gain sympathy and care from others, especially the women around him.
"First thing in the morning?"
Li Chenghao replied naturally: "Light a cigarette and go to the toilet."
"First thing after dinner?"
"Light up a cigarette and enjoy the magical time of having a cigarette after a meal."
“What goes well with soju?”
"cigarette"
Bae Zhengxian raised his left hand, and Li Chenghao was stunned for a moment before raising his left hand.
There was a "pop" sound from the balcony.
The old man and the young man happily high-fived each other because they had the same smoking habits and understanding of smoking.
Pei Zhuhyun stood at the door of the kitchen and was dumbfounded.
I have lived for such a long time and encountered many new things. I never thought that one day I would see my father so happy because he found a like-minded smoker.
Looking at Li Chenghao again, he was smiling happily.
Bae Zhuhyun thought that Li Chenghao was a man of few words, at least when he was in contact with her, Li Chenghao said very little.
But at this moment, Li Chenghao was chatting with his father without interruption.
look back
Pei Zhuxuan looked at her mother who was serving dishes in the kitchen: "Mom, I'm shocked now."
My mother was always in the kitchen, and because of the sound of cooking, she didn't know her husband had come home.
Asked Bae Zhuhyun: "What impact?"
"Dad, he..."
"Is your father home?"
"Oh, I didn't come back alone."
Hearing this, my mother hurriedly wiped her hands with her apron and walked towards the kitchen door while saying: "You kid, why didn't you say hello to me when dad brought guests back? It's so rude to not say hello."
.”
Walking to Pei Zhuhyun's side, my mother also saw the two people standing on the balcony.
The height and figure were very similar. Fortunately, it was not completely dark outside. I recognized that the person standing on the left was her husband Bae Zhengxian, and the person standing on the right was a young man.
"Who is it, the young man smoking on the balcony with your father?"
Pei Zhuxuan took a deep breath: "Ha, Mom, the name of the young man smoking with his father on the balcony is Li Chenghao."
Mom was shocked: "Who?"
"Lee Sung-ho, the second son of Chairman Lee Jae-hyun of CJ Group and the president of TVN Broadcasting Bureau."
Before she finished speaking, Pei Zhuhyun's mother had already walked quickly to the balcony.
He said from a distance of about ten meters: "I'm sorry, I was cooking in the kitchen just now and didn't notice the guests coming. I'm really sorry."
Li Chenghao nodded hurriedly, and his right hand holding the cigarette stretched back and forth in a somewhat bewildered manner.
"Hello, I am Li Chenghao. I have taken the liberty to disturb my aunt tonight."
An aunt called Bae Zhuhyun's mother and she didn't know how to respond.
Bae Zhengxian pointed at Bae Zhuhyun who was standing at the door of the kitchen: "Honey, President Li and our Zhuhyun are friends."
"What?"
Mom looked back at Pei Zhuhyun, accepted the reality and said with a smile: "What kind of fate is this? Since President Li is a friend of our Zhuhyun, you should treat it as if you are back at your own home. You guys smoke first, and I will prepare the last dish."
vegetable."
After walking a few steps, my mother stopped again and looked back at Bae Zhengxian: "Hubby, do you have enough wine at home? If not, let Zhuhyun go buy some."
Pei Zhengxian told his wife that they had bought wine on the way back and were waiting for her food to go with the wine. His wife hurried back to the kitchen.
Silently giving a thumbs up, Li Chenghao whispered: "Uncle is awesome."
Pei Zhengxian regained his face and laughed: "I still have status at home. Anyway, since we have this kind of fate, we must have a good drink tonight."
And at this time
Bae Zhuhyun, who was standing in a daze at the door of the kitchen, was also called by her mother to help.
She also blamed Bae Zhuhyun for not telling her earlier that she and Li Chenghao were friends. If she had known earlier, she would have prepared two more dishes to go with the wine tonight.
This is the first time that Pei Zhuhyun's friend of the opposite sex has come to the house as a guest. It would be wrong not to entertain him.
