Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

"If Juhyun were at home, she originally wanted to come along, but I felt bringing her here might cause a lot of trouble if she's seen with you, uncle, so I didn't let her come."

Liu Xin'an's explanation made sense, and Park Jinyoung nodded, then playfully teased, "I heard S-M has plans for Red Velvet to shoot a variety show in China."

It's no surprise to Liu Xin'an that his uncle knew about this; after all, Park Jinyoung is the head of JYP, and if he didn't have such ways, that would be quite disappointing.

"Yeah, given my relationship with Juhyun now, if they can come to China, it might be very beneficial for their future."

"Wow~ Next year sure seems like it's going to be Red Velvet's year."

Even Park Jinyoung couldn't help but marvel at how S-M managed to take a bite out of the Chinese market in this way.

"This year, you and my dad should drink more, being his brother-in-law, how could he not help you?"

Liu Xin'an naturally joked with Park Jinyoung, which made Park Jinyoung burst into laughter, his face wrinkling.

Laughing and chatting along the way, Liu Xin'an soon drove back to the familiar small town.

It was Park Jinyoung's first time in Jin City, and he was very curious about everything around him.

Nevertheless, the truly curious ones were the two little ones.

The lively atmosphere of the Spring Festival is no joke, and the roadside stalls kept drawing exclamations of "Wow~" from the two little girls leaning against the car window. Li Chenglu, finding them increasingly adorable, quickly spoke up, "How about we go let off some firecrackers later?"

Young'eun and Youyun, who had always lived in Seoul's city center, certainly didn't know what firecrackers meant.

"What are firecrackers?"

"They're toys that make a crackling sound. Want to play with them?"

"Yes~"

"Then we'll go play with them soon!"

Listening to Li Chenglu's coaxing, Liu Xin'an coughed, "Take it easy, don't let them get hurt."

"Don't worry, even if I blow myself up, I can't possibly hurt them." Li Chenglu patted her chest, full of confidence in response to Liu Xin'an's concern.

Finally, the car stopped in front of the familiar home.

Waiting outside, Park Jinsuk quickly walked out to personally greet the brother and his family coming from afar.

"Oh my, you've had a hard time, you've had a hard time~"

"Sis." Park Jinyoung smiled as he hugged Park Jinsuk, then looked at Wu Xiu nearby, greeting in his half-familiar Chinese, "Hello, Wu Xiu Sister."

"Hello, hello… Don't mind me, go ahead with what you need to do."

Wu Xiu knew this was a time when Park Jinsuk needed to attend to Park Jinyoung's family first, gently pushing Park Jinsuk, signaling her to not worry about her.

Just then, from inside, a sweat-covered Bae Juhyun heard the lively commotion and quickly paused the music, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and hurriedly ran out from Liu Xin'an's house, bowing nervously to the group in the courtyard.

"Senior, it's taxing for you to come all this way!"

Her formal greeting drew a bemused smile from Park Jinyoung. Looking at his future niece-in-law, he said, "Irene, we're all family, no need for 'senior'; you can call me uncle like Xin'an does."

"Ah! Okay! Hello, uncle, I'm sorry I couldn't be with Xin'an to pick you up at the airport!"

Her visible nervousness and discomfort were understandable; after all, Park Jinyoung was as formidable as Lee Sooman in her eyes...

Even if Liu Xin'an's uncle wasn't Park Jinyoung but Lee Sooman, she would be equally nervous and uneasy.

"Alright, let's go inside first."

The group walked into Liu Xin'an's house.

After a brief tour, Liu Xin'an helped his uncle settle his things.

Since Park Jinsuk had lived at Park Jinyoung's house for a while, even though they had traveled far this time, his aunt didn't feel awkward at all and naturally went along with Park Jinsuk to chat in the living room.

Little Young'eun and little Youyun followed Li Chenglu, eager to explore the firecrackers she had mentioned, and upon asking Park Jinyoung, they happily followed Li Chenglu to play.

Now only Liu Xin'an, Park Jinyoung, and Bae Juhyun, who seemed uneasy, were left.

"Were you practicing?"

"Yes, we'll be making a comeback soon."

"Oh, then it seems we need to alter the comeback schedule for our company's talents; Red Velvet is quite strong this year."

Park Jinyoung's compliment made Bae Juhyun smile lightly; it was an honor for Red Velvet to receive praise from this legendary figure of the Korean entertainment industry.

"By the way, uncle, you and my aunt haven't eaten yet, right?"

Continuing to chat wasn't ideal; better to let Park Jinyoung eat first.

Of course, since Park Jinyoung's family came all this way, they couldn't be given leftovers; a fresh lunch had to be prepared.

"Hmm, where's your dad?"

"As for my dad, he'll be back tonight. It's year-end, so he's quite busy. Once you've settled in, we can head out for lunch."

"Alright, let's go out then." Park Jinyoung had no objections, nodded, and got up.

Then he looked once more at the still somewhat tense Bae Juhyun, offering comfort, "Irene, relax, at home I'm just your uncle, not your senior."

"Yes!"

Bae Juhyun nodded vigorously, doing her best to relax, but…

That's easier said than done!

Beside them, Liu Xin'an tried hard to suppress his laughter, having realized something.

The tension seemed to be coming not just from his girlfriend.

His uncle also appeared somewhat awkward due to Bae Juhyun's tension.

Hmm… A very curious scene indeed.

He had to hold back; he mustn't laugh out loud!
