Chapter 131: ```131. Heading to the Devil’s Metropolis (Thanks to the influential Alliance Hierarch Shatan! 3/5)```

That night, Liu Xin’an didn’t go to Bae Juhyun’s house to sleep on the sofa, wary of Li Chenglu.

On one hand, Li Chenglu’s angry outburst on the phone left a deep impression on him; it seemed like he had always viewed his childhood friend through old lenses. He ought to give her some space to grow.

Besides, he would be sharing a room with Bae Juhyun the next night anyway; one more day wouldn’t make a difference!

Bae Juhyun had all her documents ready, and neither Liu Xin’an nor Li Chenglu needed any paperwork, so Liu Xin’an smoothly bought the plane tickets.

However, considering Bae Juhyun’s identity, they couldn’t buy those cheap tickets for the economy class, where she would definitely be exposed among so many people.

So, they went with business class in the end.

Anyway, Bae Juhyun would be sitting with Li Chenglu, while Liu Xin’an, the official boyfriend, would sit alone on the side.

A peaceful night passed, and the next morning, as usual, Liu Xin’an got up early to go out for a workout. By the time he returned at noon, Li Chenglu and Bae Juhyun, who had been resting next door, were already sitting on his sofa.

Compared to the previous night, when the two were still somewhat unfamiliar, they were now chatting and laughing, having dispelled the initial awkwardness.

After all, language was no longer a barrier, and to Bae Juhyun, Li Chenglu no longer felt strange.

Moreover, Bae Juhyun’s personality contrasted sharply with her cool exterior. Only after getting to know her better would one realize she’s actually a deeply hidden comedian...

"You two are getting along well."

Hearing her boyfriend’s surprised voice, Bae Juhyun smiled: "Chenglu isn’t as weird as you said. She’s a beautiful girl."

In Liu Xin’an’s words, Li Chenglu had become some kind of bizarre monster. If it weren’t for him initially giving her such a strange image, she wouldn’t have taken so long to get along with Li Chenglu.

"Yeah, Liu Xin’an, how much did you complain about me to Irene?

If Bae Juhyun’s gaze carried a bit of slight reproach, then Li Chenglu’s eyes were much fiercer.

Her fierce look made Liu Xin’an believe that if Bae Juhyun weren’t there, she would roll up her sleeves and fight him right there...

"If you acted normally in front of me, would I see you that way?"

"I was afraid you’d fall in love with me."

"Ugh, I’m gonna puke. I’m going to take a shower."

"You jerk!"

As Liu Xin’an stepped into the bathroom, a throw pillow smacked against the bathroom door right after him.

Their amusing interaction made Bae Juhyun cover her mouth and chuckle. She now completely believed there was nothing between the two of them.

The previous night, before bed, she had talked to Li Chenglu and learned a lot about Liu Xin’an’s high school days.

From Li Chenglu’s words and actions, Bae Juhyun could clearly sense that Li Chenglu only had friendship for Liu Xin’an.

As a fellow woman, Bae Juhyun was highly certain of this feeling.

Since she didn’t see Li Chenglu as a rival, Bae Juhyun let down her guard and started accepting her boyfriend’s childhood friend.

With just a little understanding, Li Chenglu’s straightforward personality made it hard for her not to like her.

Moreover, they were both "self-reliant" types of women.

After washing off the sweat, Liu Xin’an came out of the bathroom wearing a white T-shirt, drying his hair as he walked.

Because he had just finished working out, his arm muscles were still slightly pumped, making his already striking muscles even more impressive.

Bae Juhyun knew her boyfriend had a great physique; she often touched him while cuddling in his arms.

Thinking about it, she seemed stranger than Liu Xin’an, who never got too handsy while holding her...

Ahem, that’s not important!

Her boyfriend’s overly fit body made Bae Juhyun a bit embarrassed to look at him. She averted her gaze, her cheeks turning red.

Li Chenglu, on the other hand, commented sarcastically: "Are you a fitness model or something? Stop working out so much. Too many muscles look weird."

Men just need a bit of muscle. Like Peng Yuyan, who had the perfect build in her eyes. Usually, Liu Xin’an had a similar build to Peng Yuyan, but now his muscles were pumped, making him Peng Yuyan plus...

Not attractive!

"It’s been a habit for years. I can’t change it even if I wanted to. Besides, I started working out because you pushed me to."

Liu Xin’an felt wronged. Back when he was weak and ill, Li Chenglu cried the most bitterly. Now she was complaining about it?

"But you’re not like before now..."

"Hey!"

Liu Xin’an quickly cut her off before she could finish.

Li Chenglu realized there was no need to tell Bae Juhyun about these things.

Listening curiously, Bae Juhyun sensed the two were hiding something. She turned to look at her boyfriend, frowning slightly.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Hearing this, Liu Xin’an glared at Li Chenglu, who was covering her mouth innocently, then hurriedly sat down beside Bae Juhyun.

"It’s nothing big. I used to be in poor health, so I developed a habit of working out."

"Poor health?" Bae Juhyun was startled, quickly scanning her boyfriend with her eyes.

"That was in the past. I’m fine now. I used to be very weak and got sick easily. After that, I started working out, so I’m quite healthy now."

"Are you sure you’re okay?"

"Yes, don’t worry."

Seeing no guilt in Liu Xin’an’s eyes, Bae Juhyun reluctantly nodded.

---

They were going for about a week, so driving Bae Juhyun’s car wasn’t practical. Since it was a personal trip, she couldn’t ask the company manager for help, so...

"So you called me?"

Kang Seulgi knocked on Liu Xin’an’s door, first smiling at him, then looking exasperatedly at the sister who had completely turned her into a tool.

"I’m the only one in our group with a driving license besides you, so help me out, Seulgi. I’ll bring you gifts."

Kang Seulgi wasn’t upset. She was on a break, and driving them to the airport wasn’t a hassle, so she agreed quickly.

However, she didn’t forget to ask for her perks.

After some bargaining with Bae Juhyun, Kang Seulgi agreed to help in exchange for "Bae Juhyun washing her clothes for a year" once she resumed activities.

After the bargaining, Seulgi noticed a tall woman gazing at her with shining eyes.

"Who is she..."

"Seulgi! I’m a fan of yours!"

Here it was, Li Chenglu’s fan-girl mode.

Startled by the enthusiastic fan, Kang Seulgi stepped back instinctively, then gave the business smile Bae Juhyun knew so well.

"Hello, hello..."

Liu Xin’an couldn’t stand it any longer. He yanked Li Chenglu aside and awkwardly smiled at Kang Seulgi.

"Sorry, she’s my childhood friend and a fan of yours."

"Oh... So your friend is our fan, yet you didn’t recognize me or Juhyun?"

"Ahem, I don’t keep up with these things..."

"Amazing. Okay, let’s go. I’ll drive you to the airport."

Kang Seulgi shook her head in wonder, tossed her car keys, and spoke in a cool tone.

"This time, make sure to take pictures of the Oriental Pearl Tower for me. I’ve always wanted to see it but never had the chance."

Kang Seulgi actually wanted to go to Shanghai with them, but she had work here and her documents were not ready, so she had to rely on Bae Juhyun to fulfill this wish.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Bae Juhyun nodded: "Don’t worry, we’ll have a great time on your behalf."

"How did you convince Chief Kim to approve? Didn’t he suspect anything?"

"He did, but since I only go to the company or stay home, he can’t suspect anything."

"...True, who could imagine your boyfriend living next door."

Reflecting on their story, Kang Seulgi still couldn’t help but marvel.

Kang Seulgi was a skilled driver, and soon they arrived near the airport.

The airport was always bustling with people, so after Bae Juhyun was fully prepared, the three of them got out of the car.

Kang Seulgi didn’t even roll down her window. Waving to Bae Juhyun, Liu Xin’an, and the fan she didn’t know by name, she drove off.

A one-hour drive to avoid a year of laundry? Totally worth it!

"You and Juhyun find a hidden spot and wait. I’ll get the tickets, and then we’ll head to the lounge."

Since they were flying business class, they had a private lounge to wait in before boarding.

They had timed their arrival to minimize the risk of exposing Bae Juhyun.

Because the trip was personal, Bae Juhyun’s identity remained hidden until they boarded the plane.

Only a few flight attendants recognized the "goddess" on board, but they were trained to maintain passenger privacy, so they were unlikely to leak her presence.

No one would risk their job to expose a celebrity’s travel plans, right?

All Bae Juhyun had to do was sign an autograph and flash a beautiful smile to the flight attendant, successfully keeping her presence on the flight to China a secret.

"Irene, look this way!"

After the flight attendant left, Bae Juhyun heard Li Chenglu’s voice.

She instinctively looked at Li Chenglu, only to see a Polaroid camera aimed at her.

Reacting on instinct, she smiled beautifully, then realized something was off and playfully tapped Li Chenglu’s shoulder.

"What are you doing, taking pictures of me?"

Li Chenglu didn’t respond, just took out the photo, and after a while, the image appeared. She held it in her hands like a treasure.

"This is a true limited edition photocard, globally exclusive."

Amused by Li Chenglu’s words, Bae Juhyun suppressed her laughter, glancing at Liu Xin’an, who was sitting a little ways away.

Seeing that he wasn’t looking at her, Bae Juhyun pouted.

It was rare to travel together, and she couldn’t even sit next to Liu Xin’an...

But it was just a few hour flight; she could bear it.
