Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1304 - 560: Brainwashing Master Park Jinyoung (Part 2)

She loved teasing her man, but when they were together, she didn't dare do so, because she was always the one who ended up tired and sleepy.

But they weren't together now~

"So, tell me, what do you want me over for? And don't say anything inappropriate, or I'll get mad."

Being an old married couple, Liu Xin'an's intentions were clear to her.

Since she'd already figured it out, Liu Xin'an decided not to hide it anymore.

"Mom's been urging me to perform on stage with Uncle, and I figure she wouldn't have thought of this herself. So, I suspect someone whispered it to her."

"Whispered to her? Then it must be Dad, right?"

"Cough, cough, it's a metaphor, get it?"

"Ah, ah, ah! Don't say it, I don't want to learn! I don't want to know what metaphors and personifications are!"

These were grammar points that Bae Juhyun had recently learned and were enough to give her a headache just thinking about them.

"So... you're suspecting me?"

"A little, I've already tested Li Chenglu, and the only ones I could think of were her and you."

It was laughable and exasperating to Bae Juhyun, should she thank Liu Xin'an for putting her after Li Chenglu?

"It's not me at all, if I really wanted to see you perform with Uncle, I'd just tell you directly, wouldn't I?"

"If you asked me directly, I would have to listen."

"Would you not listen?"

Liu Xin'an went silent, then decided to change the subject.

Looking at it this way, Bae Juhyun was also ruled out.

Could it really be, as Bae Juhyun said, his dad?

No, no, he seemed to have gone in the wrong direction from the start.

Assuming he really did agree to perform with his uncle at his mom's urging, then who stood to gain the most from it...

Thinking along these lines, Liu Xin'an could come up with two suspects.

One, S-M, if it was around that time, it would coincide with when his and Bae Juhyun's variety show aired, and if he got a wave of publicity then, the show's buzz wouldn't be low, so S-M would be pleased to see that happen.

But the problem is, how could S-M have contacted his mom? Besides, his mom has always had an opinion about S-M; she was frustrated for a long time after Lee Sooman rejected her resume back in the day.

If not S-M, that leaves only one suspect.

Uncle!

Yes, there were times when Uncle gave him the same feeling as Li Chenglu.

Both were people who relished in the commotion.

If it were Uncle, then asking his mom to put pressure on him seemed to make sense.

Hmm...

Liu Xin'an could almost be sure now.

"Xin'an? Are you asleep?"

"Ah, no, I think I've figured out who asked my mom."

"Who?"

"Uncle!"

———

"Oh? Xin'an, how come you have time to visit today?"

They, as uncle and nephew, had seen quite a bit of each other lately, and now that their relationship was out in the open, Liu Xin'an coming and going here had become quite normal.

Even on the way over, several artists he didn't know greeted him.

Yes, they greeted him respectfully, leaving him embarrassingly awkward.

What? Why was it awkward?

He couldn't remember their names! How could it not be awkward!

The makeup was too intense. Liu Xin'an thought he'd memorized all the artists under JYP, but with makeup, many looked quite different.

Rather than call them by the wrong name, it was better to play dumb.

So far, this approach had been quite effective.

When Park Jinyoung saw Liu Xin'an, he didn't show a hint of panic, and he asked his nephew with surprise.

Liu Xin'an didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down in front of Park Jinyoung, grinning.

"Uncle, you're really something, asking my mom to put pressure on me."

"Ah~ I've been found out, huh."

"I wrongly accused two people before realizing it was you, Uncle."

"Two people... Chenglu and Juhyun?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Then you must have been seriously complained about."

Liu Xin'an's mouth twitched, Uncle still had the nerve to tease him.

"Uncle, are you really keen on having me perform with you?"

"Yeah, your show with Juhyun will be airing soon, and Juhyun will be making a comeback, and I've already gotten authorization from S-M. I wanted you and Juhyun to perform on stage with me. Just imagine, our whole family performing together on stage, how fun that would be!"

Speaking of it, Park Jinyoung couldn't contain his excitement.

Liu Xin'an pictured it as Park Jinyoung described and admitted it did sound fun and newsworthy, but... personal willingness was important.

"It's not that I'm completely against performing with you, Uncle. It's just that personally, I don't have enough confidence that I can do the performance well. For you, it's as natural as eating and drinking, but for someone like me who's never formally performed on stage, it seems a bit overwhelming."

Liu Xin'an's reasoning was quite convincing, except that at this moment, the person in front of him was Park Jinyoung.

He was an artist who loved music so much he devoted his career to it.

The stage?

Years of experience told Park Jinyoung it was not a place to feel nervous.

"With Juhyun and me there, we won't let you carry too much pressure."

"But..."

"Alright, Xin'an, I understand you. I respect your feelings too. I apologize for having mom pressure you. If you really don't want to perform on stage with Juhyun and me, it's totally fine. I just thought you are so interested in singing and so serious about dancing... it would be a pity if such a talented you didn't let your fans see it."
