"Huh? What happy thing happened?"

Looking at Bae Juhyun in the video call, Liu Xin’an showed a surprised expression.

The past two days he had been running around with his dad, delivering gifts, burning incense, visiting graves, and paying respects. He was so busy he was nearly exhausted.

Today was already the 29th. Tomorrow, the 30th, he still had to get up early.

So after lunch, Liu Xin’an found his girlfriend. Learning that Bae Juhyun was not busy, he made a video call to her.

"Hehe, guess~"

Just as Liu Xin’an said, Bae Juhyun was in a great mood.

Thinking about how she would be able to see Liu Xin’an tonight, she couldn’t help but get excited.

She bought the plane tickets right after Li Chenglu’s company agreed to let her join. The flight was at four in the afternoon, and it would almost be seven PM when they landed, but considering the time difference, they should land in China around 6:30 PM.

That meant in seven hours, she could see Liu Xin’an!

"Did the company assign you some work?"

Liu Xin’an thought this was pretty likely.

But Bae Juhyun shook her head and continued smiling at the screen.

Her charming, curved eyes were incredibly attractive. Her beautiful appearance made Liu Xin’an, who had been apart from her for over a full day, miss her even more.

"Then I can’t guess, did Jinhee and Auntie come to see you?"

"Nope, hmm... I can’t tell you right now, I have something to do."

"What?"

Liu Xin’an was a bit stunned. Was this the first time Bae Juhyun had been in such a hurry to end a call with him?

They hadn’t talked all morning. Though Juhyun didn’t mind, he definitely didn’t want to end the call with her so soon.

"Juhyun, we..."

"Hmm, wait for me, darling. I’ll call you back in a bit. I have something to do here."

With a "beep," the video call ended, leaving Liu Xin’an staring at his phone screen with a puzzled look.

Something was off about her, very off!

Something must have really excited Bae Juhyun.

But he couldn’t imagine what could make her so happy and excited.

Thinking back, ever since last night, he hadn’t seen any forced smiles on Bae Juhyun’s face.

Her every expression and smile seemed genuinely heartfelt.

Could it be... their time apart hadn’t affected Bae Juhyun at all?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Liu Xin’an slapped his face hard.

He had always said he hated unfounded suspicions. He mustn’t think like that.

Since Bae Juhyun said there was something to be happy about, as her boyfriend, he just needed to be happy for her.

As for her not having time to chat with him... courtesy demands reciprocity. He had been busy yesterday and today, too. It was only fair.

Thinking this way, Liu Xin’an found Li Chenglu’s number and dialed it.

Li Chenglu was also coming today, but he hadn’t asked yet what time Chenglu would be back.

If Chenglu had time, he’d drive over and pick him up.

Li Chenglu answered the call quickly.

"What’s up?"

"What time are you coming back today?" he asked curiously.

"Why, are you going to pick up your sister?"

Li Chenglu’s cheeky voice made Liu Xin’an’s mouth twitch. He regretfully took back his earlier thought; he didn’t even want to pick up this smug guy now.

"I was planning to, but now I don’t want to anymore. You can come back on your own."

"I wasn’t counting on you anyway. Thanks for your thoughtful consideration, though."

"... Cut it out. So, what time are you coming back? I’ll pick you up."

"Really, no need. I’ve got someone picking me up."

"Huh? Seriously?"

"Of course, seriously. Anything else? If not, I need to get ready and head to the airport."

Liu Xin’an dumbly said "Nothing," and then Li Chenglu hung up on him.

Holding his phone, Liu Xin’an lay down on the bed, showing a puzzled expression.

It was one thing that Bae Juhyun was busy, but why was Li Chenglu, too?

Feeling like he had been abandoned by the world, Liu Xin’an showed a helpless smile. He got up and went to his computer.

Since he hadn’t used it for half a year, many games and software needed updating.

He wasn’t planning to stream during this New Year, but... he didn’t expect to find himself with free time after being so busy.

Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well play some games.

Though his computer setup was a few years old, it was still good enough for streaming and gaming.

He turned on the computer, updated his streaming software, and sat there thinking about what game to play.

But what he never expected was that the two women who had just hung up on him were now together, laughing excitedly as if mocking him was the most thrilling thing ever.

"Did you hear how confused he sounded, Irene?"

Bae Juhyun stood by Li Chenglu, nodding her head quickly.

Although she couldn’t understand Chinese, she had clearly heard her boyfriend’s bewildered "What?" just now.

"Isn’t this a bit mean? If he finds out I secretly went to see him without telling him, will he be mad?"

"No way, he’ll be overjoyed. Didn’t you see how frustrated he was when he called me after you hung up on him?"
