Chapter 92 Special Way of Getting Closer

  According to Choi Hyo-jin's instructions, Cho Kyung-yeon needs to pick up Han Hyo-joo an hour before the hotel reservation and head to the restaurant together.

  But plans can't keep up with changes, and when encountering traffic congestion, Chu Jingyan was also helpless.

  Living alone in Seoul for study and work, Ha Hyo-joo is luckier than other girls of the same age as she can live in a single apartment specially arranged by her company.

  It's very comfortable, and the location is not bad either. Compared to living in a basement or being crowded with several roommates in a school dorm after graduation, choosing to be an actor and now having some fame, Han Hyo-joo's decision to come to Seoul and struggle was wise.

  Sitting in front of the dresser, Han Hyo-joo looked at herself in the mirror. Tonight's makeup was a bit thicker than usual, and her skin, which was originally very fair, now looked even more translucent.

  That night's encounter with the stranger didn't have much of a psychological impact on Han Hyo-joo.

  As for why I agreed to the invitation of that tall man.

  Han Hyo-joo believed that it was because she was very curious why the person who had a bright red abdomen, pale face and obvious injuries would send her an invitation that seemed to be very funny.

  Han Hyo-joo could tell that it was absolutely Chu Jingyan's first time to ask a woman out on a date in front of people, his words were not fluent, and his language was not as concise and clear as before, just like the rumors said, maybe this little man's private life was really very clean.

  Maybe it was because I had a few drinks that night and was feeling somewhat excited and eager for trouble.

  Or maybe it's because of living a life arranged by agents and companies for so long, responding to Chu Jingyan is a small release.

  Han Hyo-joo, who had some regrets from the second day of waking up, was going to find an excuse to get out of this date.

  But found no contact information for Chu Jingyan. Completely fell into a passive situation.

  Then that stubbornness in his heart suddenly surged up for no reason, what's the matter, can eating a meal still make me look good? I'd like to see what this little man who is only two years older than me can do.

  Moreover, if she didn't consider her own constraints, Han Xiaoju didn't want to admit that she seemed to not mind Chu Jingyan.

  With this mindset, Han Xiaoju waited for Chu Jingyan's phone call.

  But the agent's accusations didn't appear in my imagination, as if everyone had forgotten about this matter. An actor with a very promising career should absolutely not be seen with a man in public.

  But what's wrong this time?

  Han Xiaoju was very puzzled, and with it came even more curiosity about Chu Jingyan.

  Pretty girls are mostly proud, and Han Hyo-joo is no exception. Even if she has to smile at everyone because of her work, she can still have fun with friends and has a lively personality.

  But pride is pride, so Han Xiaoju was very curious why she agreed to Chu Jingyan even if it was just for a moment.

  Even if he looks very good-looking, what's the point?

  Too many examples have proven that good-looking men are often useless.

  So for herself why she would so readily agree, Han Hyo-joo really hopes that at today's dinner with Chu Jingyan, she can get the answer she wants.

  Ding.

  The message arrived, and Han Hyo-joo walked to the window to look down. A black Mercedes-Benz sedan was quietly parked there. This fool had two weeks of preparation time, but he only sent two text messages.

  A reminder to himself not to forget tonight's appointment and he will come to pick him up personally.

  A reminder to himself that he was already waiting downstairs.

  Han Xiaoju felt that Chu Jingyan had completely broken her understanding of dating, and she was completely passive. When the first text message arrived, she started to dress up seriously, and when the second text message arrived, she had already walked to the entrance and started putting on her shoes.

  These black high heels just became one of her many shoes yesterday.

  It was bought specifically to go with this black dress.

  Han Hyo-joo didn't want to say that she subconsciously placed great importance on this date, but in fact, it was indeed the case.

  The apartment chosen by the brokerage firm for its artists is generally located in a quiet area, and Han Hyo-joo's fame has not yet reached the point where reporters would be lurking around her home at all times. Having less fame also has its advantages.

  Riding the elevator downstairs, Han Hyo-joo saw that Choo Kyung-yoon had somehow gotten off the car and was standing beside it. Perhaps feeling a bit unnatural, he subtly adjusted his tie.

  Then their eyes met and they both burst out laughing at the same time.

  It's really awkward because one is overdressed and the other is underdressed.

  Anyone with eyes can see that both of them have put in a lot of effort into their styling today, but the contrast is just so big.

  She wore a black mini dress, the sleeveless and strapless design showcasing her smooth white shoulders. The hem just reached her knees, revealing straight and slender legs, and she walked in front of Chu Jingyan wearing those eight-centimeter high heels, Han Xiaoju found that she still had to raise her head slightly to meet Chu Jingyan's gaze.

  "Thanks, Director Chu, for coming to pick me up." This time, Han Hyo-joo didn't bow.

  "Thank you, Miss Han, for agreeing to meet. Chu Jingyan nodded and then said somewhat awkwardly, "Also, if you don't mind, I really dislike the color of this tie, can I take it off?"

  Han Xiaoju took a look at Chu Jingyan's floral green tie and knew that this outfit must have come from a professional, but in the past, Chu Jingyan had always worn shirts and slim-fitting trousers. This unconventional dress was really his first attempt.

  Han Hyo-joo couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, then nodded: "If you really can't bear it, take it off."

  Chu Jingyun helped Han Xiangru open the car door, raised his hand to look at his watch, and found that there was still plenty of time. The two then headed to the New Luo Hotel.

  As the only world-class hotel alliance in Seoul, Korea's native large hotel, Shilla's facilities are not only complete but also perfect, located in a golden area with a constant flow of people. It was good that I had followed Chen Shuo here several times before, so Chu Jingyan was quite familiar with this place.

  Hand over the car key to the service staff at the entrance, Chu Jingyan took Han Xiaoju into the hotel.

  Bai Jiming's VIP card is a VVIP, which can enjoy any service at will. The French restaurant of Xinluo Hotel has a reserve of more than 600 kinds of wine, absolutely rich and arrogant.

  Sitting in the designated seat, next to it was a floor-to-ceiling window, outside of which was a bustling night view. Before Chu Jingyan could speak, Han Xiaoju said: "I'm here for the first time, so don't ask me what I want to eat, because I've never had authentic French cuisine."

  Chu Jingyun's hand holding the menu hovered in mid-air as he listened to Han Hyo-joo's words, and smiled: "I'm also for the first time."

  After finishing, he returned the menu to the waiter and asked him to bring today's recommended dishes. Then, only Chu Jingyan and Han Xiaozhu were left alone together.

  The restaurant was quiet, with customers scattered sparsely around the hall, and soft music lingering in their ears. Chu Jingyan took a sip of water and looked at Han Xiaozhu.

  "I know you must have many questions, now you can ask."

  "Why me?" Han Hyo-joo asked.

  Han Xiaoju asked why Chu Jingyan's first date was with her, not someone else. The two of them have met a total of four times, including today, and the number of words they've exchanged might not even exceed ten sentences.

  So Han Hyo-joo was very curious why it would be her?

  Chu Jing thought for a moment and said with a hint of shyness, "To be honest, it's not very good manners to say this, but that day I just found you particularly pleasing to the eye, so I asked."

  Han Hyo-joo blinked her eyes, what is this answer? But looking at his expression, it really doesn't seem like he's lying.

  It doesn't matter anyway, asking this question is meaningless. If she really thinks about it deeply, Han Xiaoju herself doesn't even know why she agreed to Chu Jingyan's words.

  "The second question," Han Hyo-joo asked after a pause, "When did you get my contact information?"

  "It's been a long time ago." Chu Jingyan replied truthfully.

  "How did you get it?"

  "Business secret, cannot be disclosed."

  Han Hyo-joo: “I think I've become more confident in my acting abilities.”

  Han Hyo-joo continued to ask: "So can I understand that you had an idea about this date and were confident?"

  "This is really not true." Chu Jingyan hastily denied it. If he admitted it, how would he listen to himself? It all sounded like a conspiracy.

  "This must be a no," Han Hyo-joo said, "otherwise I would feel particularly cheap and easy to get."

  Chu Jing spoke at this moment like a shy little boy, hehe smiled and said: "Miss Han's words are serious, whoever looks our way will think it's a perfect match, you and I are willing, how does it feel like an evil tyrant forcing a civilian girl when it comes out of your mouth? I'm not an evil tyrant."

  Han Hyo-joo's facial expression was a bit stiff as she tried to maintain her elegant demeanor.

  Why doesn't this guy play by the rules? He has no respect for his opponent at all.

  "Alright, alright, I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Otherwise, it's always like you're feeling so wronged, and that makes me uncomfortable too. You know what I mean?"

  Han Hyo-joo was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously nodded her head.

  "Moreover, if you carefully observe, we have a lot of commonalities."

  "What's the common point?" Han Hyo-joo looked puzzled and didn't understand.

  "For example, we all look very good-looking." Chu Jingyan raised one finger.

  Han Hyo-joo found herself unable to refute.

  "You are considered a tall and slender woman, I am also barely considered a tall man, this is another one."

  Han Hyo-joo still can't refute it.

  "And our skin is pretty good too."

  Han Hyo-joo: “I think I've become more confident in my acting abilities.”

  "Our eyes are all wide."

  Han Hyo-joo: “I think I've become more confident and comfortable in my own skin.”

  "Haven't you noticed that our two noses look especially alike?"

  "That's enough!"

  Han Hyo-joo let out a low growl, her mouth slightly open, her breathing somewhat heavy. She was clearly not used to Chu Jingyan's aggressive advances. If she were facing Xiao Feipo or Zheng Xiuyan instead, she would have definitely laughed it off without saying a word.

  Can't even handle this much, how weak.

  Chu Jing spoke with a subtle smile: "Miss Han, calm down and don't be too excited. I just want to bring our relationship closer, which will help the development of the next plot."

  Han Xiaoju dryly laughed and said: "Director Chu's methods are really something special."
