183: Chapter 183 T-ara's home delivery attempt rejected

As soon as Park Ji-yeon asked this question, the private room instantly fell silent. Everyone's eyes focused on Liu Zijun, filled with different expectations.

Liu Zijun put down his chopsticks and said in a flat tone, "You are all very beautiful, each with your own charm."

Park Ji-yeon was persistent, leaning in closer until she was almost pressed against him.

"Oppa, you're such a smooth talker!"

"Then what does Oppa think of me? Am I cuter than Senior Choi Sulli and Senior Yoona?"

Liu Zijun leaned back slightly to create some distance, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

"Ji-yeon, stop messing around."

Park Ji-yeon was stunned by his gaze, then pouted aggrievedly. "Oppa, I was just asking."

Seeing this, Lee Ji-hyun quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

She picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass for Liu Zijun.

"Ji-yeon just admires you too much; Ji-Jun, please don't mind her."

"Come, let's have another drink as an apology for Ji-yeon."

Her fingers brushed against Liu Zijun's again, intentionally or not. The ambiguity in her eyes was almost overflowing, and even her way of addressing him had changed.

"Oppa, actually I've always admired you. You're handsome, capable, and so good to the people around you."

Liu Zijun picked up the wine glass but didn't drink. He just looked at her and said, "Lee Ji-hyun, did you forget what I said last time?"

His tone carried a hint of vigilance and detachment, causing Lee Ji-hyun's face to stiffen for a moment, a flash of resentment crossing her eyes.

However, she forced a calm smile and leaned her body closer to Liu Zijun's side.

"Regarding what you said last time, I've also said that I don't mind."

Liu Zijun looked at the two great beauties flanking him and smiled.

Suddenly, he pinched Park Ji-yeon's chin and said, "This little girl's face is indeed very beautiful!"

Park Ji-yeon's body trembled, but she didn't pull away; instead, she leaned in even closer.

"What a pity! You look tough on the outside but you're a softie inside; it's quite funny!"

Then he turned his head to look at Lee Ji-hyun, reached out to wrap his arm around her waist, pulled her into his embrace, and glanced shamelessly at her chest, saying, "Are you trying to lead me into a ditch?"

"Lee Ji-hyun, even if I did something to you, I won't take responsibility for you like I do for Sulli and the others. You still don't mind?"

Lee Ji-hyun's whole body trembled, and she said with a dazed look in her eyes, "I don't mind! I've said it before, I don't mind at all!"

Liu Zijun pushed her and Park Ji-yeon away and laughed, "But you see, I mind!"

"Why bother wronging yourselves like this?"

"If it's for women, I'm not lacking any. I don't want you to do things you'll regret later."

Lee Ji-hyun was somewhat dismissive; she truly didn't care. Her only grievance was this man's repeated rejections.

Park Soyeon finally couldn't help but speak up, breaking the awkwardness.

"Alright, don't just drink. Eat some meat; it'll get cold in a while."

She placed a piece of grilled meat on Liu Zijun's plate, her eyes carrying a hint of apology.

Liu Zijun looked at Park Soyeon and nodded slightly in response.

He knew that Park Soyeon was someone who could restrain herself, but she seemed unable to withstand the obsession of the other members.

Park Ji-yeon nodded in agreement. "Oppa! We all really like you!"

"Look, whatever Sulli and the others can do, we can do too!"

These words were like a bomb, instantly exploding in the private room.

Lee Ji-hyun also said directly, "What I said before still stands. As long as you need me, I can do anything. Compared to Choi Sulli and Im Yoona, I'm not lacking anything."

Liu Zijun's expression gradually darkened. He had realized long ago that this dinner wasn't a thank-you meal at all, but a long-premeditated 'confession'.

He looked at these women before him, each with her own hidden motives, and his heart was full of helplessness.

He just hadn't expected that even after he had made things so clear, these women would still be so stubborn.

Liu Zijun put down his wine glass and said in a serious tone, "I know what you mean."

"But my feelings for Sulli, Yoona, and Yejin aren't a whim, nor are they something that can be easily replaced."

"You are all excellent artists and deserve someone better, rather than getting involved in someone else's relationship like this."

Park Ji-yeon was about to say something, but Park Soyeon covered her mouth!

They had eaten and drunk enough.

Liu Zijun intended to leave.

The girls all looked at Liu Zijun with some discouragement.

Ham Eun-jung was the most rational one. She suddenly said, "Ji-Jun! Let me take you back?"

Liu Zijun looked at her and nodded.

After the two left, Park Soyeon looked at her somewhat dejected sisters.

She said somewhat speechlessly, "Ya! You guys are being ridiculous. You clearly know what the situation is, yet you keep throwing yourselves at him?"

"Is it fun for several women to sleep with one man together?"

"Even though Liu Zijun is indeed excellent, he also said he can't give you anything. Are you still willing?"

"What will you do in the future? Be his mistress for the rest of your lives?"

Park Ji-yeon pouted and suddenly pinned Park Soyeon down. "We'll worry about the future later!"

"So what if I become his woman?"

"So what if there's no formal status?"

"Look at Im Yoona and Son Ye-jin, isn't it the same for them? They don't have a formal status either, yet they're just as happy!"

Park Soyeon pushed Park Ji-yeon away and gave her two hard slaps on the butt.

"Aish! I'm done with you all. Do whatever you want!"

"Especially you, Jeon Bo-ram. I know you and Eun-jung are still sensible. Don't be like those three crazies!"

Jeon Bo-ram slumped weakly against Lee Ji-hyun, glanced at Park Soyeon, and then sighed.

Park Hyomin hugged her long legs and said softly, "unnie! Aren't we lucky to have met a man like him?"

Lee Ji-hyun didn't speak, but a faint smile curved at the corner of her mouth.

When she was pressed against Liu Zijun just now, she clearly felt the changes in his heartbeat and body.

This dog man talks all grandly, but his body is honest.

Besides, the Entertainment Industry is a giant melting pot.

For Liu Zijun to be able to consider their future is truly rare.

If it were any other man, they would have found every possible way to get them all into bed long ago.

They might even end up like those less fortunate girl group members who are merely playthings for the Chaebols!

They in T-ara hadn't gone without hearing about such disgusting things.

And while Liu Zijun is a playboy, he is truly responsible and treats his women well.

One only needs to look at Choi Sulli, Im Yoona, and Son Ye-jin; their current career momentum is becoming unstoppable!

Lee Ji-hyun was confident that T-ara would also become more and more popular, but all of this was likewise brought about by that man.

Even without those reasons, Lee Ji-hyun was already head over heels for Liu Zijun.

This man—I, Lee Ji-hyun, am going to have him!
