Chapter 280: 218. The Belated Surprise (Thanks to the Second Sister’s Alliance Hierarch 6/8)_2

Liu Xin’an was indeed adept at preparing low-fat meals, but to be precise, it was his steak and chicken breast techniques he excelled at.

As for vegetables... Liu Xin’an always thought they were fine as long as they were edible.

"I even added garlic, look," Liu Xin’an used his chopsticks to fish out a tiny piece of garlic from the stir-fried greens, eliciting a collapse into laughter from his girlfriend.

This time she was convinced that Liu Xin’an truly couldn’t cook.

"Don’t you think this dish tastes bland, like it has no flavor at all?"

"It’s okay, maybe my standards aren’t that high?"

"So, now it’s my fault?"

Bae Juhyun, annoyed, forked up the whole steak. Suddenly feeling that this was unbecoming, she used her knife to push the steak back onto her plate, then elegantly cut the beef into pieces, eating the neatly sliced morsels daintily.

As for that portion of greens...

Let Liu Xin’an eat that himself.

One steak was completely sufficient for her.

After uploading the video Bae Juhyun shot along with the footage from the GoPro to the computer, Liu Xin’an realized a critical issue.

The video, originally intended as a couple’s vlog, featured only himself throughout.

Bae Juhyun only appeared in it through her voice, which was highly recognizable—fans could identify it instantly.

If he changed the tone of her voice...

It was a video titled "couple’s vlog" that turned out to be a "Liu Xin’an’s life vlog."

That’s not a selling point!

A faceless couple was supposed to be faceless, not without a body.

In the end, the video was dragged by Liu Xin’an into a folder labeled "Scrap."

Not to delete it, but possibly to use it later.

"What’s wrong? How will you edit it? When can it be posted?"

Bae Juhyun, who didn’t understand Chinese, was full of curiosity. She stood beside Liu Xin’an, leaning over, and pressed him for details about the video.

Liu Xin’an shook his head, resting his elbow on the table and his palm against his face, tilting his head to look at the inquisitive Bae Juhyun.

"The video won’t work, it’s unusable. It’s supposed to be a couple’s vlog, but you barely appeared in it, and even your voice needs to be altered. Posting it will only dissatisfy our fans," Liu Xin’an said.

"Really?"

Bae Juhyun was a layman in this area, so she wouldn’t hastily offer suggestions.

But she felt it was a pity to waste the video—it recorded their first trip to the supermarket... was it just going to be discarded like this?

Maybe it was the disappointment in Bae Juhyun’s voice which made it hard to bear, because after a few seconds of contemplation, Liu Xin’an looked at her.

"We could post it on a secondary account, just as a record of our lives, how about that?"

"Oh!!"

His suggestion struck right at Bae Juhyun’s heart.

The woman, who had been eagerly anticipating the completion of the video, raised her hands joyfully like a child and cheered softly.

Then she spontaneously hugged her boyfriend, letting out a "hehe~" laugh.

"Won’t it affect your work?"

Although she verbally expressed concern for Liu Xin’an’s work, her happiness was so evident that there was no way Liu Xin’an would refuse to indulge her.

"No, it won’t. It’s not a particularly difficult edit. I can get it done tonight... by tomorrow," Liu Xin’an said.

Originally, Liu Xin’an planned to start editing right away. Such a short video wouldn’t take too long; he could finish editing and adding subtitles in about an hour.

But considering that she would have to go to the company early the next morning and that they wouldn’t see each other for three days after that...

In their rare time alone, he didn’t want to miss any of it so carelessly.

"So, when it’s time to post, will you or I do it?"

Bae Juhyun had never been so excited about posting anything on Instagram as she was about this. She took out her phone and opened the app.

Still faced with screens full of incomprehensible Chinese characters, she got somewhat anxious and grabbed Liu Xin’an’s large hand, gently shaking it.

"I’ll post it. Tomorrow I will log into the secondary account on the computer and then post it. Don’t worry, I’ll show it to you before posting," Liu Xin’an reassured her.

Liu Xin’an remembered Bae Juhyun expressing her desire to watch his videos a long time ago, but due to the language barrier, it was hard for her to understand them.

So this time, Liu Xin’an planned to add subtitles in both Chinese and Korean.

"Good~"

This response left Bae Juhyun quite satisfied. She tilted her head up and gave Liu Xin’an’s cheek a gentle peck before revealing a heart-capturing, stunning smile.

Just as Liu Xin’an was about to deepen the kiss, the vibration from the cell phone in his pocket caused Bae Juhyun to subconsciously stand up.

She glanced at her phone, and after showing an apologetic smile to Liu Xin’an, she answered the call.

You just can’t ignore a call from Kang Seulgi.

She might have something important to say.

The thwarted Liu Xin’an didn’t get discouraged. He spread his hands and swiveled the gaming chair to face the computer screen.

Once he heard the sound of Bae Juhyun closing the door behind her, Liu Xin’an pulled open the drawer and took out the small box he had acquired that afternoon.

With a "pop," the small box opened, revealing a gleaming silver bracelet lying quietly inside, sparkling under the light.

That was the main reason he had insisted on going to the bathroom earlier.

Realizing that he had indeed neglected to surprise the woman he loved with little tokens, Liu Xin’an chose not to foolishly apologize to Bae Juhyun or make any empty promises.

He preferred to express his apologies through actions, along with his sincerity.

However, how to deliver this belated surprise became a bit of a headache for Liu Xin’an.

After some contemplation, he simply slipped the small box into his pocket.

For a top-tier straight man like him, creating a romantic atmosphere was more toe-curling than straightforward.

Rather than that, he preferred to casually help Bae Juhyun wear the bracelet he had taken a liking to at first sight.

Bae Juhyun’s wrists were slender and her skin was pale; he thought the bracelet would look really good on her if she wore it.

So, he bought it.

In the living room, Bae Juhyun was still chatting with Kang Seulgi on the phone. Knowing he would startle her, a person naturally sensitive to her surroundings, he coughed softly after he walked out the door.

Seeing Bae Juhyun instinctively turn her head to look at him and adorably scrunch up her nose, Liu Xin’an also revealed a happy smile.

He walked quietly towards Bae Juhyun, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa.

Bae Juhyun pointed at her phone, signaling that she was on a call, and cautioned Liu Xin’an not to mess around. freeweɓnøvel~com

This man might be up to some mischief; she had to be careful.

However, Liu Xin’an merely sat beside her and gently took her free hand.

Bae Juhyun wasn’t bothered by it. As long as he behaved, he could squeeze her hand all he wanted.

"Really? Did the senior really say that?"

"Wow, that’s going to be interesting! I will have to ask about it tomorrow."

"Hehe, of course, I’m curious, but maybe you’ll have to be the one to speak up; I wouldn’t dare."

"Hmm... Okay."

Liu Xin’an couldn’t hear what they were discussing, and that wasn’t his goal anyway.

Taking advantage of Bae Juhyun’s engrossment in her phone conversation with Kang Seulgi, Liu Xin’an took the small box out of his pocket.

He quietly opened it and took out the bracelet that he felt was a perfect match for Bae Juhyun’s wrist.

As he gently gripped Bae Juhyun’s wrist, the astonishing slenderness made Liu Xin’an wonder if a little force would be enough to break the delicate arm.

Of course, that was not something he would ever attempt.

"Seungwan has already recorded three songs, huh? I’ll have to go listen tomorrow. Maybe..."

Bae Juhyun continued to chat casually on the phone with Kang Seulgi.

But midway through her conversation, a cold sensation on her wrist caused her to momentarily lose focus.

Instinctively, her eyes fell upon the source of the cold touch, and the sight of the gorgeous bracelet left Bae Juhyun in such shock that her lips parted slightly.

Blinking her eyes in bewilderment, Bae Juhyun turned her puzzled gaze toward the man beside her, who still held her hand.

"A gift, though it’s a little bit late."

Liu Xin’an’s gentle voice sounded in her ear, instantly unleashing the surge of love from the bottom of her heart.

She lifted her smiling face excitedly, looked at the beautiful bracelet on her wrist, then glanced at the man beside her, and joyfully threw herself into his embrace.

Meanwhile, the cellphone she left on the sofa was still broadcasting Kang Seulgi’s confused voice.

"Juhyun? Hello?"

"No signal?"
