Chapter 198: 178. It’s not surprising Bae Juhyun (Thanks to the great Alliance Hierarch Saiya Yao! 8/8)

The excited woman embracing him was called Wu Xiu, and she was Li Chenglu’s mother.

At last, her godson, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, had finally returned, which made her, the godmother, incredibly happy.

She took Liu Xin’an by the arm and led him towards the house.

"Come in and sit down first. Changhe, Xin’an is back."

She called into the house, and soon, a muscular man walked down from upstairs. If his own father looked like a refined and decisive business elite, then Li Chenglu’s father, Li Changhe, with his muscular figure...resembled a fitness coach who teaches people how to work out.

The relationship between the two fathers is actually similar to that between Liu Xin’an and Li Chenglu; they grew up together as close friends from childhood.

The only difference is that he and Li Chenglu are a man and a woman, whereas Liu Zhengjiang and Li Changhe are just two old men.

"Xin’an, come over and let Dad see how you’ve been keeping up physically."

A man with such a muscular body naturally considers working out an essential part of his life.

Liu Xin’an’s fitness routine was developed under the guidance of his godfather, Li Changhe.

"Don’t worry, godfather, I definitely haven’t been slacking off."

"That’s good. How long are you staying this time?"

"I’m planning to return on the fifth."

"The fifth?" Li Changhe was taken aback. He remembered Liu Xin’an’s job wasn’t as demanding as his daughter’s, and the lad had a lot of freedom at work; there was no need for him to return so soon, "Why are you going back so early?"

"Um... actually, I’ve started dating a girlfriend over in Korea."

"Ha?!" x2

Their simultaneous exclamations left Liu Xin’an somewhat startled. What’s this about, neither of them knew?

"Godfather, godmother, you didn’t know?"

"We didn’t know, nobody told us."

Liu Xin’an fell silent. Should he say that his parents, as well as that girl Li Chenglu, all knew about it?

He felt it was not good to betray anyone.

If he really had to prioritize...

"Hasn’t Chenglu mentioned it to you two?"

"That unfortunate girl doesn’t even bother to make a single phone call. Your godmother and I plan to disown her."

"...How many times have you said that now?"

Li Changhe might sound harsh, but in reality, this muscular dad was an absolute daddy’s girl when it came to his daughter.

Ever since she was a child, whatever Li Chenglu wanted, he would always have it ready for her the next day.

His complaints now are probably more out of sadness because Li Chenglu doesn’t contact him often enough.

In fact, it’s not really Li Chenglu’s fault; for a daddy’s girl like Li Changhe, even three calls a day probably wouldn’t satisfy him.

But at the very least, Chenglu would call home every two or three days. She even called this morning... saying she would arrive on the 29th in the afternoon.

"Let’s not talk about that unfilial girl."

"She hasn’t come back yet?"

"She said she would be back in Jin City by the afternoon of the 29th."

"Where has she gone off to again?"

Don’t assume that close childhood friends are in frequent contact; the truth is, Liu Xin’an and Li Chenglu only occasionally called each other when they needed something.

Of course, because they are childhood friends, their relationship never feels the slightest bit unfamiliar, even without regular contact.

"It seems she went off to Neon, there’s some business-related work that called her over there."

"Well, can’t be helped, she’s really busy around this time of the year."

"By the way, it seems like she still doesn’t know you’re back, why don’t you let her know?"

"No! Don’t tell her! That inconsciable girl hardly thinks of coming home (meaning she doesn’t know to come back), don’t call her. Let’s see how she reacts when she comes back on the 29th, it’ll serve her right."

The old tsundere, Li Changhe, stopped Wu Xiu’s attempt to grab the phone with his hand.

The woman wasn’t angry but chuckled and put down the phone.

The bickering between her husband and daughter at home was their family’s prime entertainment, and she was the number one fan.

"Let’s eat together today; I saw my mom seems to be making dumplings."

"Sure, I’ll come over later; we fathers need to have a good drink."

"Got it, godfather!"

———

"Ah..." Bae Juhyun sighed softly.

She had somehow managed to get through the first day without Liu Xin’an.

The feeling of counting the days with her fingers had, yet again, crept up on her, leaving Bae Juhyun on the verge of tears.

She had slept soundly last night, probably because Liu Xin’an knew she wouldn’t rest well without him, so they hadn’t ended their voice call yesterday and had left it on all night.

Listening to Liu Xin’an’s gentle voice, Bae Juhyun had fallen asleep without realizing it.

But she awoke abruptly around three o’clock in the night.

She could hear Liu Xin’an’s even breathing through the phone’s speaker, but the coldness by her side forced her to face a fact.

A reality called "Liu Xin’an is not here."

After realizing this, Bae Juhyun couldn’t sleep no matter how hard she tried.

She wanted to wake up the man sleeping soundly on the other end of the call, but she knew it was wrong, so she resisted and just lay quietly, listening to Liu Xin’an’s breathing.

Then she tried hard to fall asleep again.

But that proved difficult.

Some truths, once recognized, are not easy to deliberately forget.

Like this, the sky imperceptibly brightened.

She hung up the voice call, not wanting to wake the man on the other end with her movement, and then began her day with forced vigor.

...Of course, when she said work, it consisted of attending Pilates classes to maintain her figure, dance classes to remember the choreography, and singing lessons to improve her vocal skills.

Even though she often takes on the role of a rapper in the group, her voice is quite good, and the company has considered whether to have her study singing more, so she can later take on jobs like singing OST tracks for TV dramas.
