Please! My relationship with the girl group leader is purely platonic.

Chapter 28 The peacock spreads its tail feathers?

Before the acting awards ceremony was even over, Kang Woo-jin packed his things and drove home. Mads Oh was sitting in the living room watching the live broadcast and was a little curious to see Kang Woo-jin coming home at this hour.

"Anders, aren't we filming tonight?"

"It was supposed to be, they said there would be a two-day holiday for New Year's Eve, but it took forever to tell us," Jiang Youzhen said, sounding rather annoyed. He put his bag aside and went to the kitchen to get himself a bottle of mineral water.

Seeing that Mads Wu was watching the live TV broadcast, he quickly looked away and said, "Dad, I'm going upstairs to wash up and go to bed."

"Okay, go ahead," Mads Wu nodded, but then he quickly remembered something and added, "Anders, did your mom send you a few addresses to choose from today? Did you reply to her?"

"I'm back. In Gangnam, across from the SM Entertainment building."

"That building... I remember it had an underground parking garage, and the location seemed so-so, the signboard wasn't very bright."

Jiang Youzhen paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Dad, there's an entertainment company across the street. So many artists come and go every day. Surely some of them will want to switch careers and become actors, right? That would mean more business opportunities for the studio, wouldn't it?"

Mads Wu found it increasingly strange. If that's the case, wouldn't it be more convenient to select actors if the company is located nearby?

But before he could even speak, Jiang Youzhen ran upstairs.

.

On the 31st, because it was New Year's Eve, the community became lively, and you could hear the sounds of children playing nearby.

Jiang Youzhen's room was right next to the main entrance, and he was a light sleeper, so he was woken up very early.

There was some noise downstairs, but it was just the sound of servants cleaning and tidying up.

Once you wake up, you have to get up. Jiang Youzhen got up, washed up, put on his workout clothes, grabbed his headphones, and went downstairs. There was a simple gym on the first floor, which was usually used by his family of three. His grandfather was old, so he would just walk around the yard to check his exercise.

His parents were already there when he entered the gym.

They really have to be self-disciplined... For middle-aged people, fitness is still the most important thing.

Normally, Kang Woo-jin would spend two hours working out at the gym when he had time, but today he had a date with a girl, so he halved his time.

After finishing their workout, Jiang Jingshu and Mads Wu went to a restaurant for dinner. Jiang Jingshu didn't have any plans for the day, so the couple decided to go shopping in the afternoon and, if possible, have dinner out before going home.

As for the son...

Anyway, he's grown up now, so let him take care of himself.

Once back upstairs, Jiang Youzhen immediately took a shower. After browsing in the dressing room for a long time, he finally chose a simple set of jeans and a light-colored sweatshirt to wear, and then casually ran his fingers through his hair.

Looking at the handsome young man in the mirror, Jiang Youzhen smiled with satisfaction.

After making sure he had his wallet, phone, and car keys, he grabbed his jacket and headed downstairs.

The family members were eating in the dining room. Jiang Youzhen greeted them one by one and sat down at the back. He suppressed the cheerful emotions on his face and pretended to be calm as he straightened his clothes and watch.

Mads Wu glanced at Jiang Youzhen a few times and quickly noticed something different.

My son knows how to dress up now?

Jiang Jingshu immediately noticed something was wrong. She looked at Jiang Youzhen and quickly realized what had changed.

"You're wearing hairspray, perfume, a watch you usually avoid, and a necklace. Yoo-jin, what's wrong with you today?"

Although Jiang Youzhen usually pays attention to his image, he would never be like this, displaying his peacock-like figure as if he wanted to make himself the most dazzling one even on stage.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youzhen hesitated for a moment before saying, "I made plans to have dinner and go shopping with some friends today."

Today is Saturday, and SM Entertainment has given the trainees a day off, both today and tomorrow. So Kim Tae-yeon has a lot of free time today, unlike last time when she only had half an hour to go back.

This time, the girl took the initiative to invite him, so Jiang Youzhen didn't want to just go through the motions and go on the date. His thoughts were almost written on his face. He wanted to have a good chat with the girl and deepen their relationship.

"No wonder, I've never seen you style your hair before, and you even used hairspray," Mads Wu chuckled, thinking to himself that his son must have been dating a girl.

But does his son have friends in China too?

Jiang Jingshu was equally puzzled by this. Did she make some good friends during her trip to the film set?

How come she didn't know?

The couple exchanged a knowing glance, seemingly gossiping or perhaps confirming something.

Jiang Youzhen saw what the two were doing, but didn't offer any explanation. Even if he did, they would just make fun of him about it.

He skillfully picked up the sandwich, and only after seeing that there was no jam or peanut butter spread inside did he feel relieved and start eating.

The family members have completely different tastes and preferences when it comes to food. My maternal grandfather prefers light meals and likes to have porridge with some pickled vegetables for breakfast, as well as whole grains, fruits, and seafood.

The father and son share the same taste; they both enjoy Western-style meals with a mix of meat and vegetables, and occasionally indulge in a treat.

Jiang Jingshu likes to eat a little of everything but not too much. Every mealtime, the family cook is the busiest and most stressed person because these people have such distinct dietary preferences.

Before they had finished eating, Jiang Youzhen took out the car keys he had borrowed from Mads-Wu earlier and asked, "Mom, do you need to use your Range Rover today? Can I borrow it for a bit? Dad's Challenger is a bit noisy."

Mads Wu's lips twitched when he heard this. He suppressed his strong inner resentment and thought to himself, "If you don't like it, then give me back my car keys!"

Why are you holding on so tightly?!

The family owns quite a few cars. Apart from her grandfather's old car which he uses occasionally, Jiang Jingshu herself owns three cars, plus Mads Wu's Challenger.

Jiang Jingshu likes European cars. In addition to her daily BMW E46, she also owns a Mercedes-Benz R230 and a modified Range Rover.

Driving a sports car was indeed a bit too flashy and noisy, so Kang Woo-jin learned his lesson and chose an SUV that was relatively more spacious and not as noisy as the Challenger.

Jiang Jingshu agreed. She originally thought it would be nice to have Mads Wu drive her around in this car today, but since Jiang Youzhen had already said so, she handed over the car keys.

"Okay, here's the car. I have other cars at home, so I'm not in a hurry. But... did you meet up with a girl? Is she an actress? Or someone outside the entertainment industry? Are you two officially dating?"

"Okay, Mom, don't be so concerned about my private life, it's weird."

Jiang Youzhen complained somewhat helplessly, but still replied, "I did make plans with a girl, but don't ask me anything else."

Before the elders could even ask any questions, Jiang Youzhen quickly finished his breakfast, making sure to drink his milk as well. He hurriedly told the elders, "I have to go out now," and then got up and ran off.

After getting into the car, he sent a message to Kim Tae-yeon, and received a reply a few seconds later.
