Chapter 423: Xiao Liu and Xiao Pei Return to Work
At eight in the morning, a drowsy Bae Juhyun unwillingly got woken up by the sound of her phone's alarm, struggling to open her eyes.
The person next to her on the pillow was already gone, something Bae Juhyun was quite accustomed to dealing with.
She squinted her eyes, reaching around the pillow, and after finding her phone, casually opened Liu Xin'an's chat window and pressed the voice key, her pink lips murmuring.
"Where are you..."
About a minute later, Liu Xin'an, who had already freshened up, pushed open the bedroom door and looked at the still half-asleep Bae Juhyun lying on the bed.
"Get up, don't you have to go to the office?"
"Um... can you ask Taekyon for leave for me? I don't know why, I just can't muster any energy."
Hearing his girlfriend's vague response, Liu Xin'an was shocked. He hurriedly sat by the bed and pressed his large hand against Bae Juhyun's forehead.
Then, looking puzzled, he bent down and pressed his forehead against hers.
The close-up of his handsome face made Bae Juhyun's cheeks inevitably redden, even though she was used to seeing her boyfriend, and she hurriedly pushed Liu Xin'an away: "What are you doing!"
"You don't seem to have a fever. Is your body feeling uncomfortable?"
Bae Juhyun paused, her eyes vacant, staring at Liu Xin'an. After a moment of silence, she sighed and lazily turned over.
"Get out, I need to change clothes."
"Your body..."
"I was just saying it, I'm just too lazy to get up."
"..." Liu Xin'an grinned, looking at his girlfriend's graceful back, and in frustration, gave her a slap on her round backside.
The clear slapping sound was accompanied by Bae Juhyun's panicked scream.
"Ah!... Hey! Are you crazy?!"
"You made me worry." Liu Xin'an had his reasons, he was really scared earlier by her random talk.
"I can't even complain a bit..." Feeling at fault, little Bae muttered, then very angrily threw off the blanket, revealing her pair of fair legs, and kicked angrily at Liu Xin'an.
"Out, out, out, I need to change clothes!"
"Since I'm already here, I'll help you change."
"Huh? What? Hey! No need... stop! Liu Xin'an!"
The bedroom resounded with Bae Juhyun's lamenting cries.
Ultimately, after a brief struggle, Miss Bae, realizing the unbridgeable gap in strength between them, chose to give up.
Liu Xin'an, knowing his limits, didn't take advantage of the situation while helping Bae Juhyun change.
It's not that she doesn't attract him, but rather he feared losing control.
If he got carried away, Bae Juhyun, who wakes up at eight in the morning, might not leave the house until eleven.
After changing into comfortable home attire, Bae Juhyun tied her long hair up. Since she washed it yesterday, she didn't plan to wash it today; she'd just wear a baseball cap later since her ad shoot wasn't until the afternoon, and she'd need to wash her hair again then.
Scooping a small spoonful of white porridge, Bae Juhyun blew on it to cool it, carefully placing it in her mouth, showing a satisfied expression.
"Will you be back tonight?"
"Uh, no, I won't be back. I won't be back for the next week, it's your punishment, punishment."
"What? Did I do something so wrong?"
Bae Juhyun didn't speak, just picked up some kimchi with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, then reached out to hold down her uncooperative long hair in front of her and continued eating her porridge.
Liu Xin'an gave a helpless smile and joined in on the silent game.
When it comes to patience, Liu Xin'an has never lost to Bae Juhyun.
Silently having breakfast together, it took about five minutes before the generally well-behaved Bae Juhyun couldn't hold back.
She kept glancing at Liu Xin'an, who was looking down at his phone, confirming that he really had no intention of paying attention to her, and she frowned slightly, showing a look of annoyance.
Then, her initially well-behaved legs under the table rose a bit, lightly nudging Liu Xin'an's leg.
Subtly completing this action, Bae Juhyun quickly sat properly, her expression and posture impeccable, as if that playful action had not been done by her.
Yet, to her annoyance, Liu Xin'an showed no response to her action. He just glanced at her, saw she was seriously eating breakfast, and resumed looking at his phone.
The boring mutual ignoring game continued until breakfast ended.
After breakfast, the very angry Miss Bae decided to just leave.
Then she got pulled into Liu Xin'an's embrace.
"Hey! Let me go!"
Faced with his girlfriend's scolding, Liu Xin'an revealed his rogue nature, firmly wrapping his arms around her slim waist.
Her body is indeed soft, but because she is too soft, sometimes he feared he'd accidentally hurt her...
"Alright, let me hold you for a bit. I'll miss you a lot since I won't be back for a week."
Liu Xin'an softly expressed his longing to her, which made Bae Juhyun reluctant to resist.
Although her body obediently quieted down, Bae Juhyun's mouth had her own opinion.
"Just now you were ignoring me."
"I had to finish breakfast quick so I could spend more time holding my little Bae."
