Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1382 - 589: The Outsider Li Chenglu (2)

If he's looking for Liu Xin'an, Seong Taekyon could have easily called Liu Xin'an directly. Why did he need to go through her?

Despite the tension, she still had to make the call.

Liu Xin'an accepted the phone handed over by Bae Juhyun with confusion, and this action made Liu Xin'an sense something amiss.

He got up, took Bae Juhyun's phone, and walked willingly to the livestream room.

As the sound of the door closing echoed, Bae Juhyun shivered slightly, and the feeling of nervousness kept spreading in her heart.

"Don't worry, Juhyun. I'm sure nothing will happen."

Kang Seulgi reassuringly wrapped her arm around Bae Juhyun's fragrant shoulder, while persistently stroking the long hair of her fragile-hearted sister, using her own way to soothe the other's nervousness.

After speaking, she exchanged a glance with Son Seungwan.

Son Seungwan understood instantly, taking out her phone and starting to browse various fan forums and communication platforms that fans use to contact artists directly.

You could say this was an unprecedented super event in entertainment history.

An immensely popular actress, and moreover, a super beauty in the hearts of countless men, Bae Juhyun was actually going to fix a show together with her somewhat outsider boyfriend...

Isn't this a big deal?

Back in the day, "We Got Married" faced opposition from many fans of the actors, but now, Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an are participating in an actual couples variety show.

Not the kind of show on the market now, which carries the name of a dating show, but is actually greasy.

Nor is it the kind of false romantic relationship.

So naturally, as fans of the protagonist of this big event, Bae Juhyun's fans are filled with mixed emotions.

The majority of fans over in China actually support it. After all, the one who won over such beauty is one of their compatriots, and moreover, Liu Xin'an is a decent, scandal-free, excellent man.

Son Seungwan started browsing forums and other platforms intending to find some fan support to help Bae Juhyun relax, but the more she read these complex comments, the more unsettled she felt.

However, she couldn't show too much awkwardness at the moment, so she forced a relaxed smile, but before she could speak, the door of the closed livestream room swung open again.

The open door and the man walking out drew everyone's attention.

The object of the gaze, Liu Xin'an was momentarily stunned, then, puzzled, turned around, seemingly imitating everyone else's actions, to look behind him.

"All eyes are on you, what did Taekyon say?" This silly moment made the impulsive Park Sooyoung unable to resist, so she hurriedly asked.

"He told me to remind you all to eat a little less, especially you, Kang Seulgi, and Kim Yerin."

Being singled out for criticism made the two of them furious, but soon, the two sitting together, eating potato chips, were silent.

Being angry with chips in hand really carries no persuasion... where did Seong Taekyon put surveillance on them?

How creepy!

"... Is that all?"

"What else? I thought Taekyon was going to discuss some serious matters, but that's it."

Liu Xin'an shrugged helplessly, while handing back the phone to Bae Juhyun.

Afterwards, his gaze fell on Bae Juhyun, whose expression wasn't very good.

The slightly furrowed brows and that piteous look indeed tugged at one's heartstrings.

Liu Xin'an, understanding why Bae Juhyun was nervous, instinctively performed an action, opening his arms and gently pulling her into his embrace.

Simultaneously, he softened his voice, and his somewhat coarse large hand gently caressed the overly smooth, cute face of the woman in his arms.

"What's wrong? You look quite lost, are you unhappy because Taekyon didn't ask me to pay more attention to you?"

"What are you saying... Did Taekyon really say only that?"

"Of course, would I lie to you?"

Bae Juhyun looked up, seriously gazing into Liu Xin'an's eyes.

The truth is, he hadn't really lied to her, but precisely because of that, she had no idea what Liu Xin'an would be like when he lied.

In other words, even if Liu Xin'an were lying to her now, she wouldn't be able to tell.

She was still willing to trust Liu Xin'an.

Since Liu Xin'an said all was well, it represented that Seong Taekyon hadn't conveyed any bad news to Liu Xin'an.

This also represented that the reactions from the fans at present were all within the company's expectations.

Bae Juhyun was quite confident in the company. Since they had said so, she decided not to think about it anymore and even managed to shrug away from her boyfriend's embrace.

Her sisters were all present, being so close and cuddly with Liu Xin'an was not appropriate!!

———

"So, you mean that's all?"

Among everyone present, the one who understood Liu Xin'an the best was Li Chenglu.

This was something even Bae Juhyun, sharing the bed, couldn't compare to.

Thirty years of familial bonds allowed Li Chenglu to detect the unease in Liu Xin'an's expression in an instant, even though he masked it well.

Seong Taekyon certainly said something to Liu Xin'an, Liu Xin'an merely didn't want to tell Bae Juhyun, not wanting her to feel anxious.

Since Liu Xin'an didn't tell Bae Juhyun, and Seong Taekyon contacted Liu Xin'an solo, it indicated this wasn't something Bae Juhyun needed to know.

But here's the thing, why did Seong Taekyon specifically choose to contact Liu Xin'an through Bae Juhyun?

It's quite odd.

While slicing cucumber strips, Liu Xin'an glanced at Li Chenglu, then casually passed over the green beans next to him.

"Why?"

"Just process them, you like eating these."

Li Chenglu twitched her lips corner, but complied.

As Liu Xin'an said, it's a side dish she likes. Noodles without green beans and bell pepper eggs just lack soul!

Ah, the noodles Liu Xin'an made weren't traditional zhajiangmian, strictly speaking, it's more like dalue noodles... Just at home, it's always called that out of habit.

Getting off track.

"Just the two of us, tell me."

"Taekyon instructed me not to respond to this matter during the livestream if possible; currently, fan emotions are unstable and until the show officially airs, we can't lead the public opinion."

"... So S-M is confident about your show, that the opinion would reverse after airing, rather than spiraling out of control?"

"No doubt, S-M and I are confident the show will satisfy everyone's needs, even the fans."

"Really don't know where your confidence comes from. Then why was it necessary for Taekyon to call Juhyun, rather than contact you directly?"

"Just to give her a heads-up."

"Really absurd."

"I think so too."

"What secret are you two talking about?"

Son Seungwan's curious voice sounded from behind them, Liu Xin'an turned to glance at her, noticing her teasing expression, he also chuckled, briefly sharing what he had just discussed with Li Chenglu with Son Seungwan.

This person is truly smart, in terms of intelligence definitely on par with himself and Li Chenglu, so Liu Xin'an felt secure sharing it with Son Seungwan.

After listening, Son Seungwan didn't show a bit of shock, as if everything was within her expectation...

"I figured as much. Just now, I took a look at the forums and other platforms. How to put it... I don't know the situation in China, but over here the storm is quite big, comparable to when you and Juhyun went public."

"That serious?"

"Yes, but just don't respond. Once the show airs, it will all turn into praise for you and Juhyun."

Son Seungwan's assertive reply turned Li Chenglu's eyes green, is she the sole outsider then?

"Tell me quickly, what exactly was filmed that you guys are so confident in!!"

Being a fairweather fan, Li Chenglu's anxious look didn't evoke empathy from the other two.

On the contrary, the two exchanged a glance, then shared a perfectly coordinated wicked smile.

"You guess."

"You'll know when the time comes, Chenglu."

"Ah, dammit!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, are you swearing?"

"Oh my, foul language."
