Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1366 - 581: Liu Xin’an’s Resolve (Part 2)

Liu Xin'an listened carefully to Park Jinyoung's words, froze, and his expression gradually turned subtle.

It sounds...like there's something to it.

He actively chose to propose to Bae Juhyun in the style of the entertainment industry, actually expressing his own thoughts—I'm willing to step into a field I once knew nothing about, just because it's your favorite domain...

And creating something personally expresses sincerity even more.

But the problem is...

Liu Xin'an's expression turned weird. He stared at his uncle, stayed silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help but quip: "But the song's production... "

"Of course, I'll handle it!"

Old foxes are always old foxes.

His uncle's resounding response made Liu Xin'an's expression even weirder.

"You're here just for this, aren't you?"

"Hahaha, kid, I'm Park Jinyoung, JYP, the legendary producer. I'm here to produce a song for you, and why would you be unhappy about it?"

"Well, saying it like that isn't wrong..."

"Where else can you go? You can't go to S-M, can you?"

"I'll keep it as a backup option... Uncle, have you eaten? If not, join me for a meal."

"Sure, have a drink?"

Liu Xin'an nodded, having many details he wanted to ask his uncle, and familial relations also needed maintaining.

"Alright."

———

"I'm off work... are you drinking?"

After finishing work, a tired-looking Bae Juhyun had just gotten into the van and habitually dialed a video call to Liu Xin'an.

When she smiled and spoke to Liu Xin'an, she immediately noticed the bottle of alcohol placed on the table.

Liu Xin'an on the other end heard Bae Juhyun's question, chuckled lightly, and slightly shifted the camera to include his uncle sitting beside him in the frame.

Knowing he was on camera, Park Jinyoung shrugged and smiled at the lens.

"Ah! Uncle! Are you at home?"

The phrase "at home" made Park Jinyoung raise an eyebrow: "Hmm... maybe I should come over when the lady of the house is present next time."

"Uncle!!"

Today's Bae Juhyun and Park Jinyoung were no longer in that past mentor-student relationship, so faced with the elder's teasing, she blushed and playfully scolded him.

This cute appearance was quite pleasing to Park Jinyoung. Meanwhile, the other members of Red Velvet in the car realized who Bae Juhyun was chatting with.

They quickly gathered around, politely greeting the legendary senior.

If they hadn't seen him, that would be one thing, but having seen him, they had to mind their manners.

"Hello, senior!"

"Good evening, senior."

"Senior!"

"Good evening, everyone. Would you like to join us for a meal?"

Park Jinyoung was known for being easy-going, so extending the invitation was in line with his character.

This was an invitation from a great senior, and they didn't know what to do, instinctively looking at Bae Juhyun.

Though it was an invitation to them, the one who would decide was definitely Bae Juhyun, Park Jinyoung's future niece-in-law.

It was already half-past eight in the evening. Originally, the plan was to go out for dinner tonight, but since someone invited them, and getting their faces known to Park Jinyoung was also a good opportunity, she readily agreed.

"So... can we just focus on eating?"

"Hahaha, of course. Come over. Uncle will treat you to barbecue."

"Okay~ We'll come over now. Thank you, senior."

"Thank you, senior~"

Five captivatingly beautiful women said their thanks in sweet voices, making one's bones feel a bit weak.

Park Jinyoung laughed so much that his eyes squinted into slits.

After a bit more chatting, Bae Juhyun hung up the call; her previously smiling face turned expressionless.

"Are we going to Xin'an's place?"

"Yes, please take us there. We'll sleep at my place tonight and you can pick us up here tomorrow."

Bae Juhyun calmly arranged her plans, then frowned in contemplation.

She was pondering why her uncle would be at their house at this time.

Usually, an invitation would mean her uncle inviting Liu Xin'an to his place. Why was it reversed today?

Her instincts told her something was up, but no matter how much she thought, she couldn't figure it out,

Fortunately, she soon chose to let it go.

Not being able to think of a reason was fine; she'd just ask Liu Xin'an directly later.

After all, Liu Xin'an wouldn't hide anything from her. In their relationship, would Liu Xin'an dare to hide things from her?

Impossible!

…

"It was nothing, really, just having a meal together."

Bae Juhyun widened her eyes, incredulously looking at the seemingly innocent, bewildered man in front of her.

This guy...

She didn't believe it!

Although she wanted to grab this man's collar and interrogate him right now, there were still many people at Liu Xin'an's house.

The members were okay, but mainly because there was still an uncle there.

Grabbing someone's collar in front of their uncle wasn't appropriate, so Bae Juhyun suppressed her curiosity, giving her boyfriend a radiant smile.

Since she was staying here tonight, she'd sneak over to Liu Xin'an later for a surprise attack!

With both Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun present, and Park Jinyoung having such a comfortable demeanor, Kang Seulgi and the others soon relaxed and were no longer so reserved.

Meanwhile, the barbecue was being served continuously, and the aroma of grilled meat quickly filled the room.

After eating for a bit, under Bae Juhyun's intimidating gaze, Kang Seulgi and the others bit their chopsticks, eagerly eyeing the sizzling beef on the grill.

"Are you controlling your diet because you have a comeback?"

Understanding the struggles of female artists, Park Jinyoung noticed the girls' dilemma, chuckled lightly, and asked knowingly.

"Yes..."

"S-M is really harsh, huh? Not even letting you have a proper meal?"

These words almost brought tears to their eyes.

S-M's management of artists was notoriously strict, yet such high standards created top-notch artists.

Red Velvet was one of them.

On the other hand, under Park Jinyoung's leadership, JYP wasn't as strict with their artists.

Well...more precisely, they weren't as demanding in terms of physical appearance.

At the very least, they'd let artists eat something before their comebacks.

The girls before him hadn't even eaten a half portion yet?

Saying they just sampled the taste wouldn't be an exaggeration.

He still found it hard to grasp S-M's philosophy, wondering if such strict dieting wouldn't harm the artists' health.

But it was the company's business, and he had no right to interfere, so he could only lament.

Then... he continued eating the beef heartily.

After all, he didn't need to maintain his figure~ at least, not right now.

"Did anything interesting happen in China this time? We haven't had the chance to ask Juhyun yet today!"

With the main characters all present, the girls' gossip instincts kicked in.

Son Seungwan's question directed everyone's gaze to Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun.

To be more precise, their eyes were all on Liu Xin'an.

Bae Juhyun was very tight-lipped; she wasn't the boastful type, so no matter how much the members coaxed, she wouldn't divulge anything.

Want to know? They'd have to watch the shows themselves, maybe even boosting its viewership a bit.

Knowing Bae Juhyun's nature well, they simply gave up on getting any intel from her and all turned to Liu Xin'an.

The sight of these curious eyes tinged with a hint of pitifulness had Liu Xin'an on high alert.

He spread his hands guiltily and mimed zipping his lips, then obediently looked at his girlfriend.

Seeing that Bae Juhyun was satisfied with a smile, he laughed cheekily.

"Aren't you curious, senior?"

Son Seungwan's eyes twinkled as she aimed her next move at Park Jinyoung.

Bae Juhyun might be able to control Liu Xin'an, but surely Bae Juhyun couldn't control Park Jinyoung!

What a clever little girl!
