Chapter 401: Bae Juhyun Wants to Flaunt Her Love (Thanks to Second Sister, the Alliance Hierarch! 3/8)
"Wow, secretly playing mahjong!"
Li Chenglu casually teased after seeing the familiar scene in the room upon entering.
Once Park Jinsuk turned her head to look at her, Li Chenglu skipped over and hugged her godmother from behind.
"Mom!"
Since her biological mother wasn't present, Li Chenglu naturally omitted the "god" part.
Park Jinsuk beamed with joy, as it had been quite a long time since she last saw Li Chenglu. Li Chenglu was much busier than Liu Xin'an, being the top performer in the company. It wasn't uncommon for her to be out of the country for more than half the month, so seeing Li Chenglu made Park Jinsuk truly happy.
"Come over here and greet your sister Juhyun's family."
Li Chenglu exhibited a bright and cheerful smile, greeting Bae's parents, who looked a bit surprised.
"Hello, uncle and auntie. I'm Li Chenglu, and since I have known Xin'an since we were born as neighbors, we've practically been family since we were young."
No matter how many times Bae Juhyun heard about this relationship, she couldn't help but feel amazed.
Not to mention Bae's parents, who had just met Li Chenglu.
Of course, Bae's parents didn't show any strange reactions at this point, just nodding and smiling at this junior, and then proceeding with the usual inquiries typical of parents.
Questions like, how old are you? How's work? Are you in a relationship? And so on...
Li Chenglu answered them one by one, and after briefly explaining her situation, she pointed outside the door: "I'll go book a room first."
"Okay, hurry up then."
Park Jinsuk waved her hand.
Li Chenglu nodded, then dashed over to Liu Zhengjiang, giving him a big hug, and then turned around to follow Liu Xin'an out.
"Is it necessary to book a room? I could share a room with Jinhee, couldn't I?"
After exiting, Li Chenglu suddenly realized something. Since Bae Juhyun was sharing a room with Liu Xin'an, there was a bed available in Bae Jinhee's room.
Even though everyone wasn't short of money, it's always nice to save where you can.
Plus, her income... excluding the Bae family's income, was probably the least among them.
Though her job sounded quite prestigious, compared to public figures like Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun, her income was indeed much less.
"Who knows if Jinhee would mind, besides, Juhyun is always sneaking around here, her parents think she's sharing a room with Jinhee."
"Do you even believe that yourself?"
Yes, the self-deceiving excuse was ruthlessly broken by Li Chenglu, leaving Liu Xin'an embarrassed: "You spend your own money."
"Juhyun's treating, I'm the guest! Why should I pay!" Li Chenglu quite reasonably retorted.
"We're a couple!"
"It's not like you're married."
Liu Xin'an was speechless, then glanced at his girlfriend Bae Juhyun, who was already laughing uncontrollably, with twitching lips: "Whose side are you on?"
Liu Xin'an thought his girlfriend would laughingly hold him, resolutely standing by him.
Unexpectedly, Bae Juhyun unhesitatingly hugged... Li Chenglu's arm, and led her forward.
"Ignore him, Chenglu, this guy really wanted you to come."
"I understand, this guy's always been a bit arrogant."
"Damn it!"
...
It's undeniable that having someone who livens up the mood greatly enhances the atmosphere.
Bae family and Liu family members mostly had reserved and calm personalities, but once the lively Li Chenglu appeared, it instantly shattered the dull atmosphere.
Li Chenglu, who frequently attended social meals, was incredibly lively at the dinner table, calling uncle and auntie one after another, making Bae's parents very happy, and she didn't neglect her godfather and godmother either.
At a table for eight, Li Chenglu managed to take care of everyone.
Except for Liu Xin'an.
Their relationship was really like siblings; who goes out to eat and expects elder sisters to look after younger brothers?
Liu Xin'an himself didn't mind anyway.
The cheerful dinner quickly concluded, and Bae Juhyun finally got to sit at the mahjong table she had been longing for, replacing her own father.
Bae's father went with Liu Zhengjiang to enjoy a steam sauna, though he was indeed shy, Liu Zhengjiang, being a social adept, easily earned his trust, and the two chatted leisurely.
In the end, only Liu Xin'an returned to the room to diligently start his livestream work.
It's rather pitiful; despite coming to relax on vacation, he still had to start livestreaming work.
Being a streamer is as easy or as hard as it gets.
Most notably, there's barely any privacy...
[Hey, aren't you supposed to be traveling with Bae? Is it right to leave her to stream alone?]
The viewers on Bilibili were quite considerate; there were many news articles online capturing Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun together in Jeju Island, so everyone was aware that he was traveling.
"No worries, work still needs to be done."
Seeing more and more people asking, Liu Xin'an responded to reassure everyone.
[Really, I'm dying from crying]
