Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1341 - 572: Return to China (Part 3)

Sure, here is the translation of the provided Chinese novel excerpt into English:

```html

Both of them are genuine workaholics, except for some particularly important matters, work always takes top priority.

Traveling obviously isn't a high-priority matter.

"Then why didn't you tell the truth in the live stream? I got a lot of questions from fans yesterday who were concerned about our relationship status."

"Uh... I just wanted to mess around a bit?"

"Ha... honestly, I really feel like punching you..."

Annoyed, Bae Juhyun swore, raising her cute, pink little fist as if she was about to punch Liu Xin'an.

But the gesture had no destructive power at all; on the contrary, it was incredibly adorable.

"Alright, don't mess around in the car."

Seong Taekyon gently reminded the two who were play-fighting. It's kind of awkward because Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an both understand Chinese, so S-M didn't even arrange a translator to accompany Bae Juhyun on this trip.

Oh, but for official work, they'd definitely assign her a translator, though it's more like assigning one for Seong Taekyon...

Seong Taekyon has always been the one coordinating with the production team and project team, not Bae Juhyun herself.

Additionally, accompanying them on the trip to China, besides the S-M staff and Liu Xin'an, was the film crew for the variety show starring Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun.

Ding Yu had initially requested to participate in this variety show's filming.

Now, it's time to fulfill that promise.

After a brief moment of silence, a ringing phone broke the quiet inside the car.

Leaning against the car window, Bae Juhyun threw a glance at Liu Xin'an because the ringing phone belonged to none other than the person sitting next to her — Liu Xin'an.

Just arrived in China, and the calls already?

It's definitely not Li Chenglu. If it were Li Chenglu, the first call would definitely have been to her, not Liu Xin'an.

As Li Chenglu would say...

"Why listen to a guy's voice when I could be listening to a beautiful woman's voice?"

Hmm... That was said with a Tianjin accent, and Bae Juhyun took lessons to understand it back then.

Liu Xin'an noticed the curious gaze from his girlfriend and returned it with a doting smile: "Old E."

Upon hearing the familiar name, Bae Juhyun withdrew her curious gaze.

But those cute ears were still perked up high.

Liu Xin'an decided to turn on the speakerphone, since no one accompanying them understood Chinese, not even the driver sent by the S-M Shanghai branch, who only spoke Korean.

"What's going on, coming back to the country without a heads-up to your friends?"

Old E's highly recognizable voice rang in the car.

Liu Xin'an raised an eyebrow and glanced at the camera that was still pointed at them.

"I'm filming right now, do you mind being heard?"

"Filming? What, a Vlog?"

"No, a variety show."

"What?!"

Old E exclaimed in surprise but quickly reacted casually.

Although he hasn't been on TV much, being a streamer means he's good at handling these situations.

"What kind of variety show? Airing in China? So you're filming here?"

"No, it's me and my girlfriend's variety show."

"Hi there~" As soon as he mentioned Bae Juhyun, she energetically greeted Old E on the phone.

She remembered this newlywed couple from her fan meeting in Xiamen quite well.

Especially since Old E's wife was her fan!

"Hello, hello... Welcome to China." Facing Bae Juhyun, Old E seemed a lot less at ease.

Bae Juhyun understood and quietly refrained from interrupting.

"So, you're here for work?"

"More or less, but if you have time and want to be on camera, you can always find me, and I'll treat you to a meal."

"No way, you're trying to use me for clout, aren't you... Ah, edit me out later, I don't want your fans coming after me."

"What nonsense." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

It's not as easy to joke around with Liu Xin'an as it used to be.

Ever since he publicly announced his relationship with Bae Juhyun, his popularity has skyrocketed at an alarming rate.

He's almost reached the point where there's a barrier between him and me, a gaming streamer!

"Then you can get back to your work, I thought you were here for a holiday."

"Not going to find me?"

"Nope, I'm still streaming."

"You're not coming to ride the wave of popularity of me and Irene?"

"I... I'll type angrily at you!"

After saying that, Old E hung up the phone.

Then, he sent a stream of "filthy language," and its content was hard to look at.

Liu Xin'an didn't feel offended at all, quite the opposite, he laughed heartily.

Trash-talking with good friends is just as normal as eating and drinking water.

Next to him, Bae Juhyun had an expressionless face.

As a woman, she simply couldn't understand what was going on inside these men's heads.

Hmm...

Very absurd.

———

The hotel was a beautiful, upscale hotel.

They had separate rooms, not sharing one.

Liu Xin'an helped push Bae Juhyun's luggage to her room's door, then smiled coolly and entered the room next door.

The room setup was quite ordinary, typical of a high-end hotel.

Liu Xin'an casually tossed his suitcase aside, and as was his habit, he first took out the electronic devices he had brought along.

He powered them on, connected to the internet, logged into Wechat and QQ, accessed Bilibili's backend, then lay down on the bed, scrolling on his phone.

Bae Juhyun would certainly take a while to get ready, and soon, they would go out for dinner, while the crew would take the opportunity to set up cameras in the hotel room.

Liu Xin'an had long gotten used to this familiar filming routine.

Bae Juhyun didn't keep him waiting long.

"Knock knock knock."

The sound of knock on the door startled Liu Xin'an, causing him to sit up from bed. Then he walked to the door, quickly tidied up his clothes, put on a warm coat, and opened the door.

It's already November, and it's quite cold in Shanghai.
