161: There are three of you, but I only have two bracelets.

Walking at the very front was Kim Jennie.

Today, she wore a boldly tailored black hip-hugging dress. The slender straps barely hung on her shoulders, perfectly showcasing her famous right-angle shoulders and exquisite collarbones.

Her expression carried her usual hint of laziness, but deep within her eyes, there was a trace of irritability that was hard to detect.

Following closely behind was Park Chae-young. Her long pink hair was particularly eye-catching. Wearing a loose white T-shirt and vintage jeans, she had a look of indifference, as if she wanted to get this over with quickly so she could go home and sleep.

Finally, there was Kim Ji-soo. She wore an elegant white dress and had a gentle temperament, like a lady from a prestigious family.

A proper smile was plastered on her face, but this was just her daily expression management; in truth, she felt a heartfelt annoyance toward what was about to happen.

They were Blackpink, global superstars popular all over the world, and idols frantically pursued by countless fans.

But now, they were like pre-arranged gifts. With a single phone call from their boss, Park Dan-chang, they had been packaged and sent to the residence of this mysterious Chinese man.

Merely to accompany him for a meal.

In the Korean entertainment circle, those few words could have countless interpretations.

The entertainment industry in Kimchi Country was glamorous on the surface, but the inside had long since rotted and was crawling with maggots.

There were also gaps in the status of female stars—one could say they were worlds apart!

Some were truly princesses held in the palms of capital, while others were merely exquisite toys to be toyed with at will by the chaebols.

Those well-known tragedies—Choi Sulli, Goo Hara, Jang Ja-yeon... all committed suicide because they could not endure the insults of the chaebols, and they had long since become shadows etched into the hearts of female stars in the industry that could not be forgotten.

There were even those like Lee Eun-ju, who, while on an award stage, couldn't even control her own body! All because a chaebol sat below the stage, using a remote control to determine her 'feelings'... However, a girl group with huge influence like Black Pink Group was a certified money-printing machine, so they were relatively much freer! Park Dan-chang was usually quite polite to them!

But today, he had broken precedent by demanding all three of them mobilize at once to 'accompany' a mysterious guest.

What exactly was the other party's background? Could it be a big shot connected to the military of Pretty Country?

All three had doubts in their hearts, even feeling a sense of trepidation toward an unknown fate.

They hadn't felt this way in a long time.

"Aish, seriously, what kind of person is it that requires the three of us to come and accompany him together?" Kim Jennie couldn't help but complain in a low voice, her dissatisfaction undisguised.

Kim Ji-soo gently pulled her, signaling her to be quiet with her eyes, and said softly, "Since we're already here, let's just make the best of it. It's just a meal, don't overthink it."

"If I had known, I would have been like Lisa and gone to Europe to do a striptease to escape this rotten country," Park Chae-young muttered under her breath.

"They play even more perverted games over there, and it's not easy to make it either. Alright, alright, let's go in and see what the situation is first."

With complex emotions, the three of them entered the villa together... Inside the villa's living room, the lights were bright and the luxury was extreme.

Cao Lang was currently sunk into a soft sofa, boredly scrolling through his phone.

Ever since he came to Kimchi Country, his short video app seemed to have been taken over by various Hallyu beauties; eight out of ten pushed content items were sexy beauties.

On the screen, Zheng Yin'an's dance moves were powerful and dynamic, perfectly hitting the beats as she danced to the currently most popular Ian March.

"The packaging is indeed quite good," Cao Lang said, looking at Zheng Yin'an on the screen. This girl seemed to be only 16 years old, yet she was already famous beyond her circle. Kimchi Country's star-making machine was terrifying.

These techniques could be learned from; Kimchi Country wasn't entirely useless.

Just then, Wang Qiang led the three women inside.

Cao Lang moved his gaze away from the phone screen and casually raised his eyes.

Oh?

He saw three familiar yet strange faces standing in the living room.

A trace of emotion appeared on Cao Lang's face.

As he was scrolling, the real people actually appeared right before his eyes.

This feeling was actually quite pleasant.

Kim Jennie, Park Chae-young, and Kim Ji-soo were also momentarily stunned the moment they saw Cao Lang.

This man... was much younger and much more handsome than they had imagined.

The cold and detached aura about him, mixed with an innate nobility, made even people like them, who were used to seeing all kinds of handsome male stars, feel their hearts skip a beat.

He could be described as having starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows, a face as fair as jade, carefree and unrestrained—extraordinarily handsome.

This was the grand beauty from the Great Eastern Country! Those Korean male idols couldn't compare to him at all!

At first glance, their hearts fluttered; at second glance, they began to fantasize about tonight's dinner; by the third glance, they were already thinking about what their future children would be named.

This was no exaggeration; women are creatures of visuals and attracted to the strong. Cao Lang's mysterious status made even their boss, Park Dan-chang, very respectful, indicating he was a figure at the very top of the chaebol pyramid.

"Divine Doctor Cao, you see..." Wang Qiang rubbed his hands, a smile on his face, breaking the brief silence in the living room.

"Chairman Park heard that you enjoy watching girl groups, so he specially arranged for three members of Blackpink to come and accompany you for dinner."

So it was arranged by Park Dan-chang.

Cao Lang understood instantly and couldn't help but find it a bit amusing.

He put down his phone, leaned back, changed to a more comfortable position, and slowly scanned the three women as if inspecting three interesting works of art.

"Chairman Park is very thoughtful," he spoke indifferently. His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

The three cold female stars instantly transformed into sweet girls and said in unison, "Annyeonghaseyo~ It's a pleasure to meet you, seumnida!"

"Sit down, sit down. I'm also very glad to meet you all." Cao Lang patted the sofa, signaling the three beauties to sit.

Park Chae-young usually didn't fight for things, but she was a certified fan of good looks and was the first to sit on Cao Lang's left.

Kim Jennie sat on Cao Lang's right, while Kim Ji-soo, still wearing her proper smile, sat opposite Cao Lang.

Cao Lang asked with a smile, "What did your Boss Park tell you? What did he ask you to do?"

"Oppa, Chairman Park said for us to come and accompany Oppa for dinner and have a deep talk about life with Oppa~" Park Chae-young blinked her big eyes and replied with a smile.

"I see," Cao Lang said thoughtfully.

"There is an old saying in China: a fine horse for a hero, and jewelry for a beauty. I have two bracelets here that I think are quite suitable for beauties to wear."

With a flick of his wrist, as if performing a magic trick, two exquisite bracelets appeared out of thin air in his hand. They were of great value—Bvlgari jewelry left over from before that Cao Lang had just taken out of his system space.

Wow! Oppa is so amazing!

Kim Jennie exclaimed as she held onto Cao Lang's right arm.

That startling softness pressed tightly against Cao Lang's skin, and a refreshing fragrance wafted into his nose.

"Oppa can actually do magic! So cool!" The other two didn't understand how he did it at all and also clapped in praise.

Unfortunately, I only have two on me. Who do you think I should give them to?"

Cao Lang seemed a bit conflicted.

However, the meaning of those words changed in the ears of the three women. It was as if he were saying that among the three of them, two were very beautiful!

The way to break the ice is first to stir the girls' emotions, and second to shift internal conflicts.

The three of them looked at each other, and for a moment, they all saw the desire for the bracelet in each other's eyes.
