Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

The quick-thinking host pulled out a microphone and handed it to Liu Xin'an. He quickly waved his hand to refuse, but his gesture brought displeasure from the audience. Helplessly, he had no choice but to take the microphone and said softly, "If I say I was just passing by, would you believe it?"

Not to mention the audience, even Liu Xin'an himself couldn't hold back his laughter after saying such a lie.

"Alright, even I don't believe it. Mainly, I saw the event announcement online. As a fan, how could I miss such a big event? So... could Ms. Irene sing another song?"

"Oh!! Well done, Mr. Liu Xin'an!"

"Encore! Encore!"

His words excited the audience even more. Usually, it's rare to see a top star at such a small event. Bae Juhyun's appearance indeed exceeded everyone's expectations.

Since Bae Juhyun was already there, of course, the audience wanted to hear a few more songs.

Bae Juhyun didn't refuse this small request. She smiled and nodded. After thinking for a moment, she decided to sing without accompaniment, directly performing an a cappella version of their breakout song "Psycho."

The popularity of this song was beyond question. Even without accompaniment, the audience below cooperated in singing along in unison, creating such a grand scene that Bae Juhyun's voice couldn't be heard at times.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin'an kept his mouth shut, afraid he might also start singing out loud.

Soon, the song ended, and the audience was satisfied this time.

After waving goodbye to the audience with a smile, Bae Juhyun quickly slipped off the stage. She shook hands with the event organizers who came to thank her, telling them not to worry, and then calmed her breathing as she got into a nanny van backstage.

"Thank you so much, Irene! If it wasn't for you, I would have been done for!"

The little assistant was so excited that she was almost incoherent. She stood in front of Bae Juhyun, bowing and thanking her profusely, making it seem like Bae Juhyun was bullying her.

Bae Juhyun smiled and shook her head, then looked out the car window, seemingly searching for something.

"I've already informed the staff to tell Mr. Liu Xin'an that we're here. He should be over soon."

Despite today's little mishap, being an assistant at S-M usually means you're not just someone with no judgment at all.

Seeing Bae Juhyun's searching gesture, the little assistant quickly realized what Bae Juhyun was looking for.

Her words made Bae Juhyun pause, and then a smile appeared on her delicate face.

"Thank you."

"No problem. I'll head out then, Irene, you should rest a bit. Are you heading back to the company with me, or with Mr. Liu Xin'an?"

Bae Juhyun thought for a moment and shook her head. "I'll go with him. You can head back first."

"Ah! Got it!"

Although she was eager to hear some gossip—after all, the issue involving Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an was still a hot topic, and the two had just publicly announced their relationship yesterday—plus, they both appeared on Seoul streets today. Audience members were already sharing today's events online.

But gossiping about the private lives of company artists was a big no-no for an assistant like her. Despite her curiosity, the little assistant made herself get out of the van and obediently stood guard at the door.

Soon, Liu Xin'an appeared in Bae Juhyun's vision, accompanied by staff members.

The little assistant greeted him and said something to him. Then Liu Xin'an walked straight toward the nanny van. After checking that there was no one around, he finally opened the rear seats of the van.

Then, he was greeted with a helpless eye roll from Bae Juhyun.

"What are you doing? You're acting as if you're sneaking around. We've already gone public!"

Being immediately teased by his girlfriend made Liu Xin'an feel a bit awkward. However, things seemed to be just as Bae Juhyun had said. Even if fans saw the two of them in a nanny van, nobody would gossip.

They were, after all, a legitimate couple!

"Ahem, why didn't you pick up Jinhee's call?"

Bae Juhyun paused and instinctively looked at her bag beside her. She picked it up and muttered, "I guess I didn't hear it. Why didn't you tell Jinhee I had something urgent?"

"How would I know you had something urgent? I only found out you were here after calling Taekyon." Liu Xin'an shrugged and answered. Hearing his response, Bae Juhyun was stunned. "I did tell you, though."

"When did you tell me?"

"Uh, on WeChat."

"I didn't get it."

They both stared at each other for a moment before simultaneously taking out their phones.

Liu Xin'an was quicker, finding their chat history first and showing it to Bae Juhyun as proof.

Bae Juhyun was a bit slower. When she opened the chat, she saw a big red exclamation mark next to the message she sent and looked shocked.

"You blocked me?!"

"...What are you talking about? Why would I block you?"

Liu Xin'an twitched his mouth. Was he crazy? Why would he block Bae Juhyun for no reason?

"Oh, I guess you didn't. Maybe the connection was bad because I was going through a tunnel... Haha~ Were you worried about me, so you came to look for me in person?"

"Yeah, Jinhee said she couldn't reach you, so I asked Taekyon." Liu Xin'an replied while fiddling with his phone. Before he could finish, he got an odd look on his face from a notification. "By the way, your company suggested we keep a low profile for a while, right?"
