Chapter 200: 179. Li Chenglu! Bae Juhyun’s God! (Please subscribe! Vote for monthly tickets!)

"He already went back?" Li Chenglu showed a shocked expression after hearing this answer from Bae Juhyun.

Bae Juhyun nodded, continued to lift the bowl of mixed rice from the table, and sat cross-legged on the sofa, giving Li Chenglu a glance.

"He left yesterday afternoon."

"Wow, I thought he was leaving on the 29th! I planned to go back with him, but he left first..." Li Chenglu muttered unintentionally, then suddenly realized something was off. "Juhyun sis didn’t go with him?"

Wait a minute, Liu Xin’an left, so why is Bae Juhyun at Liu Xin’an’s place?

This question caused Bae Juhyun’s movements to stiffen as she was eating mixed rice. She sighed, put down the spoon in her hand, placed the mixed rice to the side, and then hugged the cushion in her arms.

"I can’t go. I don’t have a suitable reason to ask the company for leave. If I board the plane rashly and the company finds out, it will cause trouble."

It wasn’t the right time to reveal her relationship to the company yet. She had to report her dating matters to the company. This wasn’t something that could be hidden. To make time to spend with her boyfriend in the future, she had to report it and adjust her schedule.

But the timing wasn’t now.

She had to wait until they returned in August.

By then, with the achievement of the comeback, she would have the confidence to confess to the company.

After all, she had been an artist for seven years, and the company had already launched a new generation of girl groups. At 30 years old, it was normal for her to be dating.

"True enough. Ah~ why didn’t he at least tell me? I came all the way over here for nothing."

"Hmm... Chenglu, where did you come from?"

"Me? I flew in from Neon after finishing my last job. I initially thought of coming over to find you and Liu Xin’an, and then go back with both of you..."

Bae Juhyun pressed her lips together in silence. She understood Li Chenglu’s good intentions. He didn’t choose to fly directly from Neon to China and instead came here first, just to be a "tool" to provide cover for them. Unfortunately... she couldn’t go over.

Seeing Bae Juhyun’s melancholy expression, coupled with the fact that she was at Liu Xin’an’s house, Li Chenglu quickly realized the reason behind everything.

She suddenly showed an excited smile, then coughed.

"Irene sis."

Bae Juhyun, who was playing with the cushion by pressing her chin on it, was taken aback and instinctively looked up at Li Chenglu, who was sitting not far away.

The smile on the other person’s face surprised her.

"What’s up?"

"Hypothetically, I mean if you had a legitimate reason to go to China, would you want to?"

Bae Juhyun nodded without hesitation. These days, besides going back and forth between the dormitory and the company, all she did was attend classes and prepare some lunch boxes for her younger sisters.

If she had the chance to fly to China to spend the New Year with her boyfriend, she would definitely say yes without hesitation.

"Of course, it’s just because I don’t have that reason that I can’t go."

"Well, now you have that reason."

This statement left Bae Juhyun a bit confused.

"Reason? What reason?"

Finding a suitable reason had troubled her for almost half a month. If it were that easy to find, she would’ve already applied to Manager Kim and boarded the plane to China with Liu Xin’an yesterday.

Li Chenglu let out a triumphant "hmm hmm," then pointed to her own face and playfully winked.

"Me!"

———

"Going to China again?"

Manager Kim looked slightly surprised as he raised his head, staring at the innocent expression on Bae Juhyun’s face in front of him.

This was already... who knows how many times Bae Juhyun had come to see him recently.

Even during the busiest times and comebacks, this Red Velvet’s leader, Irene, wouldn’t visit him this frequently. Why did she seem to be seeking him out more and more lately, and... Hadn’t it been less than a month since she said she wanted to go to Shanghai in China?

"Yes."

"What’s the reason this time? To relax? Travel? It can’t be for work, can it?"

"Do you remember the fan I mentioned last time who does simultaneous interpretation?"

Manager Kim nodded. He remembered. Someone fluent in six countries... Actually no, it should be seven countries now.

Finding a professional simultaneous interpreter fluent in seven languages was rare. Moreover, he had investigated that person, Li Chenglu, who was indeed a renowned figure in the interpretation field. If one were to add a few more years of experience, this genius interpreter’s future would be limitless.

But what does this have to do with Bae Juhyun?

Is she going to bring this fan to work for their company? They did need interpreters, but not someone this professional!

"Did this fan invite you?"

"Yes, it’s currently New Year in China. She found out I don’t have any necessary work these days, so she invited me to experience the New Year’s atmosphere in China."

Bae Juhyun recited the script exactly as Li Chenglu had taught her to the leader in front of her, who had a deep expression, making his emotions unreadable.

As for Manager Kim, he still didn’t quite understand the meaning behind her words.

So... it’s still a trip to relax?

"That’s still travel, isn’t it?"

"I overheard her mentioning she has some connections with the higher-ups at Bilibili..."
