Chapter 440: When a Super Senior Becomes a Senior (Part 2)
In other words, Bae Juhyun wrapped both of them up all by herself…
Bae Juhyun made breakfast, so the two elders definitely didn't need to busy themselves with cleaning up, which meant that the task of cleaning the dishes was quickly taken over by Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu.
And taking advantage of the gap while washing the dishes, Li Chenglu leaned over to Liu Xin'an and lowered her voice: "Don't you think Juhyun's acting really strange?"
Liu Xin'an really wanted to refute Li Chenglu, but Bae Juhyun's behavior was indeed unusually odd. He was silent for a moment and asked puzzlingly, "I didn't expect her to suddenly become so…"
For a moment, Liu Xin'an couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe his girlfriend.
At this point, Li Chenglu's response broke through his confusion.
"Diligent, right?"
"Right!"
"Usually, people act diligently only when they've done something wrong or want something. So which do you think it is with Juhyun?"
Li Chenglu's baseless speculation made Liu Xin'an roll his eyes speechlessly. He glared at his childhood friend, defending his girlfriend: "Don't lump Juhyun with you. You're the only one who acts diligently after doing something wrong. Juhyun is just being sweet."
"Tsk tsk, you're defending her now. Fine, I can't argue with you, but I still think Juhyun has some undisclosed purpose!"
Liu Xin'an could handle these words, and he directly splashed the water in his hand toward Li Chenglu.
Li Chenglu yelped and refused to show weakness.
Then…
The two of them got scolded head to toe by Park Jinsuk and Wu Xiu, getting poked in the forehead.

The uncle and aunt, along with two little cousins, would land at noon, so after having breakfast and tidying up the dishes, Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu took a spacious business car.
This car was arranged by Li Changhe for the purpose of facilitating guest pickups during the New Year period. It was perfect for Liu Xin'an to drive today to pick up Park Jinyoung's family.
Bae Juhyun stayed at Liu Xin'an's house, playing their new songs on a Bluetooth speaker, practicing with undivided attention.
Meanwhile, Park Jinsuk and Wu Xiu went to Li Chenglu's house to watch TV, giving Bae Juhyun a quiet environment.
The road to the airport was familiar to Liu Xin'an, and he didn't banter with Li Chenglu on the way, focusing seriously on driving the car.
At 11:30, Liu Xin'an parked the car and then looked at his phone.
"I'll leave the car here. Just bring uncle and his family here. Remember, keep a low profile. Don't expose uncle's identity."
Liu Xin'an's reminder made Li Chenglu grin. Park Jinyoung's recognizability was ridiculously high. Unless he was wearing a hat and mask, he wouldn't be so noticeable.
Just one item less… anyone familiar with Korean entertainment might recognize him.
"Do you think that's realistic?"
"Just try to be as low-key as possible. If exposed, it'll be a hassle."
Li Chenglu put away her phone and nodded. Knowing this, she agreed to come with Liu Xin'an.
Around the right time, Li Chenglu got out of the car and went to the airport exit to meet them.
Liu Xin'an patiently waited in the car.
After patiently waiting for about twenty minutes, finally, through the car window, Liu Xin'an saw Li Chenglu walking towards the car, holding little Young'eun in her arms.
Compared to last year, little Young'eun had grown taller. Of course, the little girl was as adorable as ever, making Liu Xin'an grateful she inherited her aunt's looks. Otherwise… he would really worry about little Young'eun and little Youyun's future.
The backseat car door was pulled open, and Liu Xin'an quickly turned around from the driver's seat to greet his aunt and uncle and the two little ones.
"Uncle, aunt, thank you for your hard work."
Park Jinyoung knew he couldn't trouble his nephew, so he had indeed done a full disguise.
But now that he was in the car, he freely removed his mask, showing his signature smile: "Xin'an, thank you and Chenglu for picking us up."
"No need to say that." Liu Xin'an modestly smiled, got out of the car, and helped Li Chenglu put the uncle and aunt's suitcases away. Since they were already in the car and there was a high chance uncle wasn't exposed, he didn't need to be so extra cautious.
After putting everything away, Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu got back into the car, buckling their seat belts, then couldn't resist chatting with the adorable little girls.
"Young'eun, Youyun, do you still remember your brother?"
Little Young'eun, just like before, was lively and cute. Even faced with Liu Xin'an's question, she could flash a cute smile: "I remember, it's brother Xin'an~"
This call from Young'eun made Liu Xin'an's cheekbones rise with glee. If the little girl wanted anything right then, he'd go to great lengths to get it for her.
Compared to Young'eun's lively cuteness, Youyun was just as shy as last year.
Fortunately, although shy, Youyun hadn't forgotten Liu Xin'an and looked at him eagerly, timidly calling him brother too.
"Alright, now brother will take you home."
Having picked up everyone, the next step was naturally to head back.
Park Jinyoung had no objection to that, and on the side, Li Chenglu was on the phone with Park Jinsuk, reporting that they had picked everyone up.
As the vehicle started softly, Park Jinyoung suddenly thought he hadn't seen Bae Juhyun and asked curiously: "Wasn't Irene coming with you?"
