Chapter 209: 183. Bae Juhyun Dies of Embarrassment on the Spot (Please subscribe! Vote for monthly tickets!)_2

Liu Xin’an gave her a gentle smile, then coughed and cleared his throat.

"Let’s eat first."

He was truly hungry, or else he wouldn’t have run out from downstairs to knock on the car door as soon as he saw the familiar big G car stop from afar.

Of course, this statement nearly made Bae Juhyun exclaim out loud.

Without introducing some background, her boyfriend is just thinking about eating?!

She never noticed how enthused this jerk was about eating before.

Desperate, Bae Juhyun sneakily pinched Xin’an’s large hand with her small one, attempting to remind him this way.

But before her intentions were conveyed, Liu Zhengjiang, whom she had always been apprehensive of, adjusted his glasses, "Right, let’s eat first, we can talk after the meal."

After speaking, he turned his face towards Bae Juhyun, whose expression was tight, and revealed a kind smile.

"Miss Bae Juhyun, right? I’ve heard Xin’an mention you, if you don’t mind, I’ll just call you Juhyun directly."

"Ah! Yes! Whatever you prefer, uncle."

"Hmm, also, my Korean might have a strong accent, you might discern some of it."

"Not at all, Uncle, your spoken language is great, I wouldn’t doubt you if you told me you were a local from Seoul."

Liu Xin’an looked at Bae Juhyun by his side, surprised. It seemed he was seeing his girlfriend being... somewhat ingratiating toward someone for the first time.

Could it be that when he visited Bae Juhyun’s home, she also saw him in the same way?

Oh my, was his image completely ruined at that time?

Realizing this, Liu Xin’an suddenly began to feel a tingling on his scalp.

"Enough chatting for now, I’m the only one in the room who can’t understand, let’s come over and eat quickly."

Li Changhe was holding two plates, one of which contained sliced pig’s head meat and some other cooked foods.

The other plate contained leftover dumplings.

"Right, let’s eat first, just treat it like you’re at your own home, no need to be so tense."

"Yes!"

Though she said she wasn’t nervous, both Liu Xin’an and Li Chenglu, who knew Bae Juhyun well, could see she was almost so nervous that she was clumsy.

The accompaniment of a boyfriend was very important at a time like this, something Liu Xin’an was well aware of, so he stayed right by his girlfriend’s side the whole time.

Though he still had a lot to discuss with Bae Juhyun, it seemed there was no chance for that now.

He needed to get her to relax first.

The two families, five people in total, took their seats around the dining table at Li Chenglu’s house.

Liu Xin’an sat close to Bae Juhyun, directly opposite the elder pair, Li Changhe and Liu Zhengjiang.

As for Li Chenglu?

She casually took the main seat.

Since it was all family, there were not so many formalities to worry about.

"These are all Chinese dishes, Juhyun, are you used to them?"

At the dining table, Liu Zhengjiang actively chatted with the nervous Bae Juhyun in a very kind manner.

The elder’s care made Bae Juhyun subconsciously nod her head, as she picked up her chopsticks with a well-behaved smile.

"Hmm, no problem, I can eat them."

"What a beautiful girl, yesterday when Xin’an showed your photo to me and his mom, we both suspected he was lying."

"Dad..."

Bae Juhyun found the slightly embarrassed Liu Xin’an quite novel as she supported the conversation with an "Eh~" sound, curious about her boyfriend’s somewhat awkward demeanor.

She always had this curious premonition that during this trip to China for the New Year, she might see sides of Liu Xin’an that she hadn’t seen before.

Like his current awkwardness.

Liu Xin’an always gave her this impression... right! Like the relaxed demeanor his father just showed her.

But after returning home, Liu Xin’an seemed a bit... weaker than usual?

This was the best word Bae Juhyun could think of to describe Liu Xin’an at the moment.

Indeed, it was weak.

It seemed easy to bully.

Seeing Liu Xin’an’s slightly embarrassed look, and Bae Juhyun’s somewhat less tense demeanor, Liu Zhengjiang decided against teasing his son and instead kindly picked up a piece of meat.

This piece of pig’s head meat was originally intended for Bae Juhyun to try, but he suddenly remembered how terrified his wife had looked at the sight of pig’s head meat long ago. Ultimately, the piece of meat ended up in Li Chenglu’s bowl.

Li Chenglu, completely unaware that she had become Bae Juhyun’s "spare tire," happily flashed Liu Zhengjiang a sweet smile.

"This is meat from the head of a pig, can you handle it?"

Bae Juhyun nodded. That was fine by her; she wasn’t particularly fussy about food unless it was something really strange.

Like insects, for example.

She had heard that Chinese people ate insects but did not know whether Liu Xin’an’s family did; at least, she had never heard Liu Xin’an mention anything about eating insects while in Seoul.

"I can handle it."

"Then try this."

This time, giving Bae Juhyun the meat came without hesitation.

Bae Juhyun glanced at Liu Xin’an, imitated him by using chopsticks to pick up the meat, dipped it into the vinegar sauce, and then slightly opened her mouth.

The novel taste and flavor combined with the sour vinegar elevated her spirits.

It was indeed a very delicious cured meat, and it seemed quite suitable as an accompaniment for drinks.

Of course, Bae Juhyun definitely would not mention soju or beer at this time; she was nervous, not foolish.

"This is really tasty."

"As long as you like it. Here are some dumplings; you’ve had dumplings before, right?"

"Yes, I’ve tried them. I had them a while ago when I went with Xin’an to Shanghai."

The bit of information Bae Juhyun inadvertently revealed caused Liu Zhengjiang, whose eyes were partially obscured by glasses, to squint. He looked toward Liu Xin’an, who almost choked on his saliva, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

This was something he and Park Jinsuk had never heard of.

It seemed his son had kept quite a few things from them.

The rules at Liu Xin’an’s family table were not as numerous as those at Bae Juhyun’s family table, but as a first-time guest, she was still somewhat uncomfortable.

Nervous, she dared not reach for the pig’s head meat and sausage that were a bit far from her, sticking instead to the meat dumplings in front of her.

Fortunately, Liu Xin’an took care of his girlfriend by shifting those cured meats closer to her, allowing Bae Juhyun to taste the flavor of the meat once again.

Everyone seemed very considerate of Bae Juhyun’s feelings, so they all conversed in Korean, which she could understand.

Only Li Changhe was a bit troubled, as he was the only one who did not understand Korean.

After politely answering a few questions, Bae Juhyun suddenly felt something was off.

She thought about it for a moment and quickly realized what was wrong.

"Um, aren’t the aunts coming back to eat together?"

She had yet to meet Liu Xin’an’s mother and Li Chenglu’s mother.

If seeing Liu Xin’an’s father made her nervous, then the thought of meeting Liu Xin’an’s mother, whom she had not yet seen, made her both nervous and scared.

Li Chenglu had briefed her beforehand, telling her that Liu Xin’an’s father was a very calm person who hardly ever got angry and was very amiable.

Now that she had actually met him, Bae Juhyun saw no discrepancies between Liu Xin’an’s father and the descriptions she had received from Li Chenglu.

Could she then assume, as Li Chenglu had described, that Liu Xin’an’s mother was a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart?

Just thinking about it made her feel like she was about to tremble with nervousness.

"Ah, your aunts are out playing mahjong. Juhyun, do you know how to play mahjong?"

"Ah? I don’t, I’ve heard about it, but I haven’t learned."

Bae Juhyun put down her chopsticks and waved her hand apologetically; where would she have learned that?

However, if Liu Xin’an’s mother liked playing mahjong...

She was willing to rush and learn this so-called mahjong in the next few days to make a good impression on Liu Xin’an’s mother!

Never doubt the determination of an artist who has successfully debuted.

It’s just practice! And she was very good at that!
