Chapter 213: 185. Heaven is fair, you can only choose one between beauty and body (Please subscribe! Votes for the month!)

He whispered in a low voice, his husky voice bringing anguish to Bae Juhyun in his embrace.

Bae Juhyun had not yet experienced the painful feeling of a loved one leaving her side, so it was difficult for her to empathize with Liu Xin’an’s perspective.

But that didn’t stop her from feeling distressed for her boyfriend.

This was the first time Bae Juhyun had seen Liu Xin’an show such vulnerability.

The heartbroken Bae Juhyun gently patted Liu Xin’an, trying to alleviate her beloved’s suffering in this way.

It wasn’t until Liu Xin’an leaned into her ear and said something in a pitiful voice that she "poof" turned red in the cheeks.

"Hey, no funny business, if you keep this up I’m going to see Chenglu tomorrow."

She lowered her voice, trying to appear fierce.

However, Liu Xin’an just sighed, his large hand restlessly rubbing against the hem of Bae Juhyun’s pajamas.

Bae Juhyun took a deep breath, forcefully pulled the overly active hand out from under the covers, and then gripped it tightly with her own.

There, now she had control over both of Liu Xin’an’s hands.

She didn’t think about what had just happened but gritted her teeth and said, "I’ve noticed you’re getting naughtier, you used to be a timid ghost who needed me to initiate even a kiss."

"Cough, men evolve, it’s in line with the laws of nature."

"Cut it out, especially at your place - absolutely no funny business, otherwise, I’ll get mad, the very angry kind."

Knowing how nervous he was coming over, Liu Xin’an smirked and also gave up some of his more excessive ideas.

But...

"When do you plan on willing submitting?"

The seductive voice in her ear made Bae Juhyun flustered.

She bit her lower lip, not sure how to respond.

If it were up to feelings alone, they would have already taken that step.

But, well...

Before she really got busy, before knowing what Liu Xin’an might think of her hectic schedule... she didn’t want to rush and give herself away in a moment of passion.

Of course, she trusted Liu Xin’an a lot and didn’t think Liu Xin’an would become discontent with her increasingly busy schedule.

But... until she saw it with her own eyes, nobody could guarantee what the future would hold.

For a woman, some things are too important, she wanted to be intimate with Liu Xin’an, to stay by his side for life.

So if possible, she wanted to have a bit more time to fully trust him.

"Can you give me a little more time..."

Feeling she was in the wrong, Bae Juhyun proactively offered her lips in a pleasing, light kiss, after which she spoke in a pitiful voice.

"Then I’ll be in a difficult position."

"...I’ll help you then."

"How will you help?"

With her cheeks flushing pink, Bae Juhyun bit her lower lip, looked up, and gazed into his eyes, hers slightly moist.

"Whatever you want is fine, but not these few days!"

"You mean it?"

"I mean... Ah!"

Bae Juhyun subconsciously nodded, but the sudden attack made her exclaim in surprise.

"Let’s just sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow."

"...Hmph."

Bae Juhyun huffed, hugged the arm in her embrace tightly, and slowly closed her eyes.

She had been tired for a while, ever since she snuggled into his arms.

[Can a woman still grow after thirty?]

While eating a baozi, Liu Xin’an looked at the answer on his phone and then disappointedly closed the browser.

Fate is always fair, a person can’t possess both top-notch looks and a top-tier figure. That would be ridiculous, unless... they are a chosen one?

"You’re up?" As he was lost in his thoughts, his dad, wearing pajamas, came out of the bedroom and, upon seeing him, first paused, then asked.

"Yeah, wasn’t I going to burn paper offerings for Grandpa and Great-Grandpa?"

"You’re being proactive this year."

Liu Xin’an grinned, feeling somewhat wronged, "When have I not been enthusiastic?"

Liu Zhengjiang glanced at the other, knowing full well what Liu Xin’an was thinking.

The earlier he goes, the sooner he comes back, lest his little girlfriend... well, it’s not right to call her a little girlfriend, since Bae Juhyun seems to be two years older than Liu Xin’an anyway.

He was just concerned that Bae Juhyun might feel uncomfortable alone at home, being someone who’s been through it all, he understood these things.

When he brought Park Jinsuk home back in the day, he thought the same.

Get busy early, then you can come back early to spend time with her.

Before he knew it, his son seemed to be walking the same path as he did.

The same kind of foreign girlfriend...

It was just uncertain whether Liu Xin’an could grasp his own happiness.

"I’ve checked on your girlfriend, she’s quite honest, doesn’t have a shady past," he said.

"...You checked on her?" Liu Xin’an looked at his father in surprise, then with dissatisfaction.

Liu Zhengjiang wasn’t upset, he nodded and poured himself a cup of hot water, "You’re my son, I can’t let you be deceived."

"Sigh... Dad, what you’re doing is quite annoying," said Liu Xin’an.

"I know you dislike this approach, I do too, but I can’t gamble with my son’s happiness," Liu Zhengjiang replied.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Half and half, I guess. Her job makes it tough for you both to even think of marrying, let alone have kids for a few more years, right?"

Liu Xin’an fell silent, without any excuse to retort—Bae Juhyun’s job meant she couldn’t settle down early and have children like an ordinary woman.

Besides, his girlfriend was very career-oriented, and he did not want to interfere with her work.

"At most five years, I’ve looked into it. Her group might last another four or five years at best; afterwards... she probably won’t have it so hard."

"Five years, huh? You’ll be 32, she’ll be 35. When your child is eighteen, you’ll be 50..."

"Stop, stop, stop, it’s meaningless if you calculate it like that."

"I won’t meddle in your affairs; I’ve told you since the year you graduated, your life is your own. I’m just giving you some advice, but what you want to do is up to you to plan."

"Mhm."

"I’m going to change clothes, you eat up quickly too."

"Sure thing."

"Oh, and tonight I’ll tell you about your mother’s family history. I’ve been too busy these days, I totally forgot about it."

Liu Xin’an was taken aback, his face showing a thrilled expression.

"So you really forgot? And here I thought you were testing me."

"...Do I have the time to do that? The matter isn’t complicated, and there’s no harm in telling you, especially since your girlfriend is still an entertainer."

"Yeah, yeah... huh? Juhyun? What does she have to do with it?"

"You’ll find out tonight," Liu Zhengjiang left his son with a carefree silhouette as he went back into the bedroom to change clothes.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin’an sat there puzzled, biting into another steamed bun and taking another taste of the pickled vegetables.

Ah, this was his breakfast.

He gently pinched the white steamed bun, then showed a look of regret and sighed.

It’s too different.

After having the rather shabby breakfast, Liu Xin’an drove his father towards the outskirts of the small town.

Their family graves were located there; which is one of the reasons they continued to live in this area.

Grandmother passed away early, Liu Xin’an hardly had any memories of her, and after grandfather passed away, each year this home became less lively than before.

The passing of the elders seemed to have dispersed the family; in the past New Years, his eldest uncle, second aunt and others would come back from far away places, and the whole family would joyfully celebrate together.

But since grandfather left, these gatherings became less frequent.

Liu Xin’an, still unmarried, couldn’t quite understand this sentiment, but he knew at such times his father must be the one who suffered the most.

As a son, he had no place to comment, so he made it a point to stop working every New Year and come home to be with his family.

Incidentally, over the years, his fans seem to have gotten used to this habit of his...

Believe it or not, this filial persona actually gained Liu Xin’an quite a lot of fans!

As Liu Xin’an started driving towards the suburbs, the woman who was sleeping soundly in his room slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

A moment of panic set in as she took in the unfamiliar room but quickly regaining her composure when she remembered she was at Liu Xin’an’s place.

"Xin’an?"

Her voice echoed in the room, but no one answered her.
