Chapter 42 Yoona's Invitation
Inside the villa, less than a minute after Jessica Jung left, a commotion was heard from the second floor.
Jessica walked out of Chen Ran's bedroom, and the whole house quickly returned to its original state after the merger.
Chen Ran looked at Jessica coming downstairs and asked, "So, do you think I successfully covered up the brand name issue earlier?"
"I don't think so."
Jessica calmly shook her head: "Jessica isn't really stupid. Once she goes back and calms down, she'll definitely realize something's wrong."
"But it's okay. If something's not right, then something's not right. At worst, I'll just meet with her."
Jessica walked to the dining table and sat down in the spot where Jessica Jung had just been sitting.
"Seeing how unwilling she looked just now, I actually have some things I want to say to her. I'll find a suitable time to meet with her and talk about it next time."
"Okay, I'll heat up your food for you."
---
More than ten hours later, it was past 11 p.m.
The Girls' Generation dormitory was brightly lit, and everyone was gathered in the dining room, creating a lively atmosphere.
Today is the birthday of Yoona, the second youngest member of the group.
"Wow, our Yoona is 24 years old (Korean age is calculated by adding one year to the traditional Chinese age system), happy birthday."
Wearing a birthday hat, Lim Yoona pouted and said, "Yuri unnie, I would be even happier if you didn't mention our age."
Choi Sooyoung, standing next to Lim Yoona, put her arm around Yoona's shoulder and laughed, "You're 24 now, Yoona's a grown woman, have you been thinking about dating?"
Yoona smiled sweetly: "Not at the moment."
Although she has many suitors, including some good ones, she currently has no interest in dating.
Seeing that Choi Soo-young was about to speak again, Kim Tae-yeon interrupted her in time.
"Alright, alright, let's eat the cake, but be careful not to eat too much, we still have plans for tomorrow."
What's wrong with these people these days? They're always talking about dating. It's so tiring for her to be the team leader.
While sharing the cake, the group also gave Yoona the birthday gifts they had prepared.
Jessica Jung handed over the gift she had prepared, and Yoona accepted it with a smile.
"Thank you, Jessica unnie~"
She put the gift aside, her beautiful eyes suddenly darting around. She glanced at the people eating cake nearby, then leaned close to Jessica Jung's ear and whispered:
"Unnie, did you go to Chen Ran's house today to give him a birthday present?"
Jessica Jung nodded: "Yes, I also had lunch at his house and we chatted about some things."
"Oh, I saw you were carrying a script when you came back. Was it written by Chen Ran?"
"Yes, Chen Ran asked me to bring that to Xiujing so it will be convenient for her audition."
"oh."
Yoona nodded without asking if she could borrow the script to take a look.
She cannot watch it unless she gets the screenwriter's permission.
She was considering whether to contact Chen Ran and ask if there was a suitable role for her in the script.
Although SM Entertainment planned for her to become an actress from the beginning and has always provided her with resources in film and television.
However, the resources available were really lacking.
Aside from the 08 drama "You Are My Destiny," which really made a splash and gave Im Yoon-a the representative role of Se-bi, and won the Best New Actress and Popular Actress awards in the TV category at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards.
However, the subsequent resources were really not good.
The drama "Love Rain," which she co-starred in with Jang Geun-suk in March of this year, had dismal ratings, and there has been a lot of criticism online.
So Yoona wanted to try to find some resources on her own.
She had previously considered asking Chen Ran about the script, but unfortunately, they weren't really familiar with each other.
We've only met twice, exchanged no more than three sentences, and barely talked.
It would be a bit awkward and presumptuous to contact them without a suitable opportunity.
Im Yoona thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, today is Chen Ran's birthday too. It's perfectly normal for me to send him a birthday greeting.
The two share a special connection: they were born on the same day, month, and year.
She took out her phone, opened Kakao, found Chen Ran's profile picture, quickly edited the good news, and sent it over.
The message was sent but is currently unread.
Yoona put away her phone, but noticed that Jessica Jung next to her was frowning slightly, clearly thinking about something.
She asked, puzzled, "Jessica unnie, what are you thinking about?"
"Um?"
Jessica Jung snapped out of her reverie upon hearing the voice: "Oh, it's nothing, I was just thinking about what Chen Ran said to me at noon."
"What are you saying?"
"It's about things like starting a fashion brand."
As she spoke, Jessica Jung frowned and said softly, "But I always feel that Chen Ran is hiding a secret, a secret that is related to me."
This was an intuition she had after returning from Chen Ran's house today.
"It's a secret related to Unnie."
Yoona repeated it, a thoughtful look on her face.
Chen Ran, from the very beginning, was shrouded in mystery and had a clear purpose.
If Jessica Unnie, who has the most contact with him now, says this, then it proves that Chen Ran really came for Jessica Unnie.
So what exactly is this secret?
What impact will this ultimately have on Jessica Unnie?
Is it good?
Is it still bad?
A series of questions popped into Yoona's mind.
She suddenly felt that, whether for her own script resources or for Jessica Unnie, she should find a reason to meet with Chen Ran.

Inside the villa.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, Chen Ran walked out of the bathroom and back to her bedroom.
He walked to the bedside and picked up the phone from the bed.
The screen lit up, showing that Yoona had sent him a message ten minutes earlier.
Chen Ran raised an eyebrow slightly and opened the message.
Lim Yoona: Chen Ran-xi, happy birthday! Today is also my birthday, we share the same birthday! [cake][cake]
The chat interface between the two was very clean, with only the messages they exchanged after adding each other as friends covering the chat background.
Chen Ran typed back: Thank you, and happy birthday to YoonA-xi too.
Once the message is sent, it immediately shows as read, and new messages pop up in the chat interface quickly.
Im Yoona: Although this might be a bit presumptuous, I'd like to ask if Chen Ran is free tomorrow afternoon? I have something I'd like to discuss with Chen Ran.
Chen Ran was slightly taken aback.
Did Yoona ask him to meet?
"What are you doing? You look so surprised?"
Jessica's voice suddenly rang out.
Chen Ran turned her head and saw Jessica, dressed in a beige lace nightgown, leaning against the door with her arms crossed.
"Yoona just messaged me, asking to meet tomorrow afternoon."
"Oh." Jessica raised an eyebrow slightly, then turned and left.
Chen Ran looked at her back with a puzzled expression, then looked down at the message he had read. After thinking for a moment, he replied: I'm free tomorrow afternoon.
Lim Yoona: Okay, see you tomorrow afternoon. I'll send the address to Chen Ran tomorrow.
Chen Ran replied with an "okay".
Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded.
He looked up and saw Jessica had come back, holding a water glass in her hand.
She walked to Chen Ran's bedside.
Then, slowly lift the glass and tilt the rim of the glass.
"Whoosh!"
The water instantly soaked Chen Ran's blankets and sheets.
Chen Ran was stunned.
He looked at the wet blankets and sheets, then at Jessica.
No, you don't hide anything from anyone now, right?
"hing~"
Jessica met his gaze defiantly, gave a soft snort, and turned to leave again.
Chen Ran looked at his bed, sighed softly, and followed her.
