Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

"Can Uncle and Auntie drink soju?"

Since they were having a set meal, not drinking a bit of soju just didn't feel right, so she ran back to clarify first.

"Yes, they can."

"Great, then I'll have them serve the soju."

Bae Jinhee nodded and left the room again, returning shortly with a bottle of drink.

"Xin'an oppa, you should drink some too. I'll drive later."

The only one who wasn't under any pressure was Bae Jinhee, so she naturally took on the task of driving, allowing Liu Xin'an to drink and make toasts freely.

"Alright."

"Xin'an, the bottle of Moutai you brought me last time, I finished it. It was really amazing!"

The mention of alcohol sparked the interest of Bae's father.

After all, it was his first time trying such strong Chinese liquor. Although he got drunk every time he had a little, the feeling of that intoxication was much more exhilarating than getting drunk on soju.

"If you like it, I'll get a few more bottles later. Coincidentally, I have a friend doing this business here, can get quite a few at cost price."

"That sounds great."

"Interested in Chinese liquor?" Liu Zhengjiang asked curiously.

Bae's father let out a sound of agreement.

"Xin'an, get some from your Uncle Zhang later, he has good liquor."

"...You're treating Uncle Zhang's treasures like inventory?" Liu Xin'an was amused and exasperated, his own father was indeed quite straightforward.

"He can't drink much, keeping them is a waste. You go and get some."

"Alright, anyway, I probably should go see Uncle Zhang later."

"Ah! I'll go too, I should pay my respects as well." Bae Juhyun chimed in, after all, she was the one who needed to thank Uncle Zhang the most.

"How about work, going well?"

"Yes! Thanks to Uncle's care, we're really doing well now." Bae Juhyun responded with a cheerful smile.

"That's good. Right now, the two of you have quite an influence in both countries. You and Xin'an must be cautious in speech and conduct, don't give anyone any leverage. If possible, advise your colleagues and your company too."

Liu Zhengjiang spoke with a bit of seriousness. It's no exaggeration to say that if Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an's relationship lasts until next year, as celebrities, they will inevitably become a bridge for cultural exchange between the two countries next year.

If everything goes well, next year will definitely be a fruitful one for Bae Juhyun, or rather, Red Velvet.

The fear is that there might be issues halfway through.

Nowadays, there are many people looking out for the two of them, but if these young ones themselves aren't careful, it could be troublesome.

"I understand, you can rest assured."

Bae Juhyun's assurance made Liu Zhengjiang feel much relieved, then he turned his gaze towards Liu Xin'an.

"You too, I'm more worried about you than Juhyun."

"You're not assured about me?"

Liu Zhengjiang glared at his son: "Your job has more potential for issues. Juhyun only appears in public a few times a month, while you're livestreaming daily. And those comments in your chat, I just can't even, don't let yourself get swayed by them."

"Don't worry, I've been a streamer for years, I can handle it."

This conversation left both Bae's father and mother a bit puzzled; although they knew about their daughter and Liu Xin'an's work, they really didn't quite grasp these details.

Liu Zhengjiang noticed Bae's father's confusion. After sipping some water, he slowly began explaining: "Next year marks the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Their relationship is likely to be valued by those at the top, and if handled properly, Juhyun can benefit significantly."

"Oh! So that's how it is..."

"So these two kids need to be cautious with every word and action, just in case unscrupulous media make a fuss over a few words, creating bad influence would be troublesome."

Benefits and risks often coexist.

As they chatted leisurely, the set meals Bae Juhyun pre-ordered were served one by one.

Set meals, plainly speaking, are Korean guest meals, usually chosen for occasions specifically for entertaining guests.

A large table full of dishes surprised Liu Xin'an and Liu Zhengjiang, who rarely experienced this style of dining.

Of course, even though it sounded fancy, almost half of the dishes on this table were various small dishes and kimchi...

The soju was served, and Liu Xin'an perceptively poured some for the two fathers, then he looked over to his own mother and Bae's mother.

"Shall we have some too?"

"Sure."

The two mothers quickly reached a consensus, and Liu Xin'an promptly filled their glasses.

Afterwards, a smiling face appeared before him.

Also appearing was an empty glass.

Bae Juhyun slid her cup over to Liu Xin'an, playfully winking.

"I want some too."

Liu Xin'an sighed and filled Bae Juhyun's cup, then lowered his voice.

"Just this one, you have to take it slow."

"Why?" Bae Juhyun questioningly lowered her voice as well.

"Your tolerance is... unpredictable. Do you really want to get drunk in this setting?"

Getting drunk and embarrassed was a minor issue! Especially since they were all family here.

What Liu Xin'an was really worried about was her being drunk and leaving him to face questioning from both families alone.

Yes, if nothing goes wrong, the next topic will inevitably be about their relationship.

"I have a strong tolerance, don't underestimate me!"

Bae Juhyun unwillingly leaned closer to Liu Xin'an's ear, speaking in an irritated tone.

Before Liu Xin'an could retort, his own mother's teasing voice made the two of them, who were whispering, quickly separate.
