Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?
Chapter 110. Official Meeting with Red Velvet

Chapter 110: 110. Official Meeting with Red Velvet

The next day at noon.

Even though she was on a break, Bae Juhyun couldn’t just stay at home all the time, or hang out at Liu Xin’an’s place endlessly.

Besides, Liu Xin’an also had to livestream and work, so early this morning, Bae Juhyun drove to the company.

Of course, she still didn’t have any schedules or work at the moment. What she needed to do was to adjust her mindset, keep in shape, and work hard to improve herself during this period.

The rest of the group members arrived one by one after noon.

After having lunch together, everyone naturally started talking about meeting Liu Xin’an in the afternoon in the practice room.

"Please be normal, don’t let Liu Xin’an think we’re weird."

"Weird? Are we?"

Son Seungwan felt confused by Bae Juhyun’s words. What did she mean by weird... Were they really that odd?

Bae Juhyun nodded, looking at Son Seungwan with a regretful expression.

"I mean you, Seungwan."

"Huh? Am I that weird?"

Son Seungwan exaggerated her expression, pointing to her own face and seeking the other members’ opinion.

But to her disappointment, everyone just nodded heavily.

Okay, Son Seungwan temporarily accepted this fact.

"Hmpf!" That was her response to Bae Juhyun.

"Just don’t be too rowdy, especially you, Kim Yerin!"

"I’m not rowdy at all."

Kim Yerin smiled obediently, trying her best to show her well-behaved side.

She actually managed to scare Bae Juhyun.

"The rest of you... Just try to be normal. Don’t treat him like my boyfriend, just like a fan at a fan meet."

Bae Juhyun thought for a long time before finally finding a suitable analogy.

However, Kang Seulgi strongly opposed this notion.

"Juhyun, can you even do that yourself?"

"Me? Do what?"

"Treat Liu Xin’an like a fan at a fan meet."

Today, not only did Bae Juhyun have to introduce them to Liu Xin’an, but it was also Red Velvet’s first official meeting with Liu Xin’an... Well, that did sound strange, but it was indeed the case.

They had fooled Liu Xin’an quite a bit. Now, after revealing their identities, it was necessary to officially get to know each other.

Whether they were ordinary people or celebrities.

Since Red Velvet was getting to know Liu Xin’an together, as the leader, Bae Juhyun couldn’t be excluded, right?

Kang Seulgi’s question left Bae Juhyun not knowing how to respond.

To be honest, she couldn’t do it herself either.

But with her sisters staring intently at her, how could she say something so embarrassing?

It’s just for an afternoon... It should be fine, right?

Feeling confident, Bae Juhyun nodded confidently.

"I can do it."

"Okay, what if you can’t?"

"... What does it mean to fail?"

"Like, not acting strange as you would at a fan meet."

"Uh... For example?"

Son Seungwan, propping herself up with her hands on the floor, muttered, "Kissing, hugging, lifting up."

"Yes! That!" Kang Seulgi’s eyes lit up, picking up where Son Seungwan left off.

Just as she finished speaking, Son Seungwan noticed Bae Juhyun’s icy stare.

She was left speechless, forcing a sheepish laugh and then making a zipping motion on her lips to indicate she wouldn’t talk anymore.

But the words... were already out.

---

At 5 p.m., Liu Xin’an bid farewell to his livestream audience, then quickly gathered his things and headed to the kitchen.

He had already bought the meat and other essentials for the BBQ in the morning and stored them in the fridge.

Now he just needed to take everything out.

During the livestream, Bae Juhyun mentioned that they would arrive around six. It was only five, so he had an hour to prepare.

After all, it was his first time meeting his "in-laws." More accurately, it was their first official meeting, so Liu Xin’an took it seriously.

After sorting the meats and putting them in the fridge to chill, he then prepared the BBQ grill.

He wouldn’t start grilling just yet, just getting everything ready.

Once done, Liu Xin’an sat on the couch and pulled out his phone to catch up on his girlfriend’s variety show clips.

Honestly, watching these shows over the past few days had sparked his interest in local variety shows.

He had to admit, their entertainers were quite intense, not to mention the different levels of entertainers and their hard work, unlike those back home.

Maybe that’s why local variety shows felt so awkward?

At least after watching these variety shows, Liu Xin’an felt that way.

Lost in thought, the doorbell ringing snapped Liu Xin’an out of it.

Could they be here already?

But didn’t Bae Juhyun know the house password?

Without thinking much, Liu Xin’an got up from the couch and went to the door.

He didn’t check the peephole since there weren’t many people who came to his place besides Bae Juhyun and her members. The only other person was Li Chenglu.

But Li Chenglu’s post this morning showed he had gone to Busan...

When he opened the door, the sight of five stunning beauties made Liu Xin’an feel dizzy for a moment. Finally, he set his eyes on his girlfriend and smiled gently.

"You’re here?"

The affectionate tone made the girls around Bae Juhyun give teasing smiles in unison.

But as the subject of Liu Xin’an’s affectionate gaze and her sisters’ teasing looks, Bae Juhyun felt awkward...

She coughed lightly, glared at Liu Xin’an, and slightly bowed.

"Sorry for the intrusion."

"Uh... Ah! Come in!"

Even though they had been together for so long, he still found it hard to understand her from just one look.

But no matter what, the first thing to do was to invite them in.

Also... Bae Juhyun seemed a bit off.

"Sorry for the intrusion." X5

Liu Xin’an had prepared slippers for them a while ago.

The first to enter were Bae Juhyun, Kang Seulgi, and Son Seungwan.

Besides Bae Juhyun, Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan had already met Liu Xin’an several times, so they were "familiar faces."

But trailing behind, Park Sooyoung and Kim Yerin were meeting Liu Xin’an for the first time.

Even though they had seen photos of Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun on her phone, there was still a difference compared to real life.

Up close, Liu Xin’an’s impressive height and build gave off a slight sense of intimidation.

However, his bright smile quickly dispelled any tension.

Truth be told, Liu Xin’an was indeed a very handsome man.

Following Liu Xin’an into the house, the group stood in a line as Bae Juhyun led them.

Seeing Liu Xin’an’s puzzled expression, Bae Juhyun took a deep breath and whispered.

"1...2..."

"Juhyun, let’s forget it!"

Before Bae Juhyun could lead them on, Kang Seulgi couldn’t stand it anymore.

Okay, she regretted it.

Why did they think of treating Liu Xin’an like a fan anyway...

With Liu Xin’an looking so bewildered, if they really went through with it, he’d probably laugh at them forever.

"Hey! It was your idea!"

"Sorry, it’s just too embarrassing, I can’t take it," Son Seungwan said, folding her arms in resistance.

Bae Juhyun finally felt relieved. She glared at her sisters and then happily ran to Liu Xin’an, hugging his arm.

Familiarity enveloped Liu Xin’an, and he understood where the awkward feeling came from.

"Were you planning to greet me like fans at a meet-and-greet?"

"Ahem, that was the plan," Bae Juhyun answered awkwardly, glancing at her sisters.

"Let’s formally introduce ourselves. I’m the ’SNSD super fan’ Seulgi."

Kang Seulgi looked at the shameless couple in front of her and slowly introduced herself with a voice full of "emotion."

She successfully made the couple blush.

Okay, in a way, Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun... had indeed done many things to wrong Kang Seulgi.

Using her as a tool more than once, for instance.

"Alright, alright, if you ever have a boyfriend, Juhyun and I will gladly be your tools."

Liu Xin’an raised his hand to stop Kang Seulgi’s "grudge," while Bae Juhyun quickly nodded in agreement.

Kang Seulgi pouted; she would never find a troublesome boyfriend like Liu Xin’an!

Hiding his identity... Did he think this was some melodramatic novel?!

After Kang Seulgi, next was Son Seungwan, who had also dined with Liu Xin’an before.

This cheerful girl gave a bright smile, her corners of the mouth raising infectiously, making Liu Xin’an smile too.

"I’m Wendy! But you can still call me Seungwan."

"Okay, I’ll still call you Seungwan, Wendy sounds strange to me."

Son Seungwan grinned at Liu Xin’an’s reply. Strange or not, it didn’t matter; whatever Liu Xin’an felt comfortable with was fine.

With the two who weren’t meeting Liu Xin’an for the first time "pretending" to reintroduce themselves, it was now time for those who truly needed to introduce themselves.

Park Sooyoung gave an almost business-like smile, politely greeting, "Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Park Sooyoung."

"Oh! Hello, you can call me Liu Xin’an."

"Really?" Though she was asking Liu Xin’an, Park Sooyoung instinctively looked at Bae Juhyun.

Liu Xin’an was much older than her, and it wasn’t polite to call him by name directly.

But Bae Juhyun nodded, agreeing with Liu Xin’an’s statement.

Directly calling him by name was less rude compared to calling him "oppa," which Bae Juhyun found unacceptable.

Given her age, she would never have the chance to call Liu Xin’an "oppa"...

Lastly, it was Kim Yerin’s turn.

The youngest member, who had acted so well-behaved in front of Bae Juhyun, gave an elegant smile and bowed politely.

"I’ve always heard Juhyun talk about you. Finally, I get to meet you. I’m Kim Yerin, the youngest in the group."

Kim Yerin’s politeness instantly earned Liu Xin’an’s affection, though only the kind one would have for a younger sister.

After all, if he remembered correctly, she was six years younger than him.

But...

Little did Liu Xin’an realize, Kim Yerin’s obedient demeanor hid a fiery curiosity for gossip in her eyes.
