Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

"No way, Mom, you're as beautiful as Juhyun!"

Li Chenglu was the first to chime in, and then Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun also cheered together.

Even Park Jinyoung had a dazed expression on his face.

"My sister is so stunning!" he shouted, pulling out his phone to take a bunch of pictures of his sister.

Park Jinsuk was amused by Park Jinyoung's actions, and she too slightly lifted her skirt as she walked down from the second floor.

This time it was still Liu Xin'an who went to greet her. Seeing his own happy mother, Liu Xin'an couldn't help but gently hug the woman who had taken care of him for nearly thirty years.

"Mom, it suits you so well, you're really really beautiful."

"Hahaha, of course, do you know how many people tried to court me back in our town?"

Having shed her initial shyness, Park Jinsuk returned to her usual self.

Liu Xin'an led his mom to the sofa to sit down, then once again reached out to hold Bae Juhyun's small hand on the other side.

On his left was the excited chattering of his family, and on his right... was the woman he loved most now.

This feeling of contentment and happiness made him emotional, so while no one was paying attention, Liu Xin'an leaned toward Bae Juhyun's ear, and with her eyes full of laughter, he slowly uttered the words he most wanted to say to her at that moment.

"Juhyun, thank you."

"Hee hee~"

———

The only thing that made Liu Xin'an speechless was that his mom was already complaining about how inconvenient the Hanbok was after less than half an hour of being happy.

The Hanbok indeed is quite inconvenient; mainly, they have to wear a petticoat to make the long skirt puff out.

But the puffed-out long skirt takes up a lot of space, making everything really inconvenient.

"At least hold on until Dad comes back, okay?"

Liu Zhengjiang missed seeing his wife looking ravishing in the Hanbok because he got called away by a phone call and wouldn't be back until noon.

"Oh, Juhyun, don't get the wrong idea, I really love this outfit. I'm planning to wear it when you and Xin'an get married, but... it really is inconvenient."

Bae Juhyun quickly nodded, of course, she did not misunderstand Park Jinsuk's intentions, in fact... she found it quite troublesome too.

Once Liu Zhengjiang comes back and she performs the big ceremony for her future father-in-law, she'll have to take off the Hanbok herself.

After all, she also wants to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

There's no way she'd really let her boyfriend prepare dinner for so many people by himself.

"I understand, Mom, I actually find it a bit inconvenient too..."

"How about... we change out of them?"

Having already found that feeling from her hometown, Park Jinsuk was very satisfied.

As for wearing it for Liu Zhengjiang... they're an old married couple, why bother?

Besides, with modern technology, isn't there something called a phone?

The photos had been taken long before!

"Just wait a bit longer, Dad will be back soon."

Liu Xin'an still wanted to try convincing his mom.

But Park Jinsuk waved her hand dismissively, stood up, and didn't forget to pull Bae Juhyun along.

"Come on, Juhyun, let's change clothes."

"Huh?"

Bae Juhyun didn't dare to persuade her, so she could only look at her boyfriend, trying to get Liu Xin'an to say a few words on her behalf.

But Liu Xin'an knew his mom's temperament very well, and once Park Jinsuk had made a decision, it wasn't an easy thing to change her mind.

Helpless, he could only nod to Bae Juhyun.

Seeing this, Bae Juhyun had no choice but to cooperate with Park Jinsuk and went back upstairs.

After working so hard to prepare for so long, they only wore them for just over half an hour... but at least her intentions were conveyed, she could feel that today, Park Jinsuk was indeed very very happy.

Even happier than the day she won a lot of money playing Mahjong.

Watching his mom and Bae Juhyun disappear from view, Liu Xin'an let out a long sigh.

He didn't really care if his mom changed her clothes or not; he just wanted to see Bae Juhyun in that outfit a bit longer!

Bae Juhyun in such attire really had the feel of a classical beauty. Although he took quite a few photos, nothing beats seeing the real person!

He's planning to buy more sets of Hanbok for himself and have Bae Juhyun change into them at home.

A real-life dress-up doll, success!

"Old Li wants me to drag you along tomorrow," Li Chenglu suddenly said.

Liu Xin'an was surprised, but he quickly realized who Li Chenglu meant by 'Old Li.'

"The gathering?"

"Yeah, now that you've gone public with Juhyun, that group can't wait, probably eager to gossip once you get there."

"I'm not interested, not going."

Liu Xin'an decisively declined. If he weren't dating Bae Juhyun, he might have gone.

But now that he and Bae Juhyun have this relationship, he doesn't want to leave his beautiful girlfriend at home alone to meet up with those high school classmates he usually doesn't keep in touch with unless there's something going on.

As for bringing Bae Juhyun along... that's even more out of the question!

"I figured as much, handle him yourself then, I'm too lazy to reply."

"What's the deal? Is he bothering you?"

"Yeah, saying all sorts of weird things, thinking he's being charming..."

The harsh criticism made Liu Xin'an silently sympathize with his high school classmate.

Of all people to pursue, why go after Li Chenglu, a top-level looks filter...

"Looking at the current situation, it seems like Mom has fully accepted Juhyun as her future daughter-in-law," Li Chenglu suddenly remarked with admiration.

Liu Xin'an nodded with a smile, there's nothing bad about it, since Bae Juhyun could receive such wholehearted approval from his family, he was sincerely happy for her.

"Next year, you don't have to come back home, you should go to Juhyun's place."

At this point, even Li Chenglu, a fan, believed these two should be preparing for marriage.

Liu Xin'an didn't reply immediately; he merely looked up at the empty upstairs hallway and let out a light chuckle.

"I'll listen to her."

"Tsk tsk tsk, seems like it's not just Mom who's completely sure of Juhyun," Li Chenglu teased with a raised eyebrow.

And Liu Xin'an wasn't the slightest bit embarrassed, he shrugged, nodded, and smiled, saying, "She will definitely be my wife."
