But she remembered this person saying she was never going to get married, right? Could it be... her family didn’t agree to the marriage?

"My dad is okay, it’s mainly my mom."

"Eh~"

Bae Juhyun looked surprised. Her impression of Li Chenglu’s mom had always been that of a gentle and kind woman. She never thought that woman would give Li Chenglu such a headache.

"Anyway, this year Liu Xin’an, you got off the hook. All the pressure is on me now."

Li Chenglu glanced enviously at Liu Xin’an. Ah, she wasn’t envious of Liu Xin’an having a girlfriend...

But thinking about it, she might indeed be envious of Liu Xin’an having an actress girlfriend like Bae Juhyun.

Oops, got sidetracked.

Actually, she was more envious of Liu Xin’an having a peaceful year this year.

Every year she had been urged to get married, but since she wasn’t the only one being urged, she could accept it.

Isn’t there a saying? Happiness is often built on Liu Xin’an’s misery.

When Liu Xin’an was urged to get married, she was happy.

When she was urged to get married, Liu Xin’an was happy.

Back and forth, didn’t it balance out!

However, her words did make Bae Juhyun a bit embarrassed. This pretty woman, who had just had a disdainful look due to the gunpowder smell on her hand, nervously looked up at Liu Xin’an, her unease noticed by the latter.

Liu Xin’an smiled and gently brushed his girlfriend’s bangs aside.

"Don’t worry, my parents understand your job. They won’t rush us into getting married early."

"Yeah, you two should fully enjoy your passionate love before considering stepping into the grave of marriage!"

"...Why do you sound like you have a lot of experience?" Liu Xin’an turned his head and looked helplessly at the pretending-to-understand Li Chenglu.

She, with her hands on her hips, looked arrogant, "I read it in a book!"

———

Just as Li Chenglu said.

Lunch was ready.

Although lunch was not as awe-inspiring as the New Year’s Eve dinner, for Bae Juhyun, who knew nothing about the so-called "New Year’s Eve dinner," this table full of dishes made her unable to close her mouth in astonishment.

Following the two of them to Shanghai last time had already left a deep impression on her regarding Chinese cuisine.

But honestly, she had never eaten authentic Chinese home-cooked food.

Even the dumplings from yesterday didn’t leave much of an impression on her.

But this table full of dishes was different.

Braise pork, braise fish, and a bunch of vegetarian dishes, meat dishes she couldn’t even recognize, and even a... can?

Is this considered part of lunch too?

She’d had lavish lunches at home, but her definition of lavish mostly involved all kinds of kimchi.

Seeing this table full of meat...

Bae Juhyun took out her phone, took a picture of the feast in front of her, and irresponsibly uploaded it to her group’s chat.

Then, she quickly turned off her phone.

As for the reactions of Seulgi and the others back home, she didn’t want to deal with that for now.

"We have kimchi at home too, Liu Xin’an, go get some kimchi."

"Oh."

Liu Xin’an had just finished washing his hands when he heard his mom’s voice. He turned and went into the kitchen, taking a lunchbox of kimchi out of the fridge.

He didn’t mind kimchi because his mom would occasionally make it too.

As for the taste... It wasn’t much different from what Bae Juhyun’s mom made.

When the kimchi was served, Bae Juhyun finally understood why so many Chinese people looked down on her country’s cuisine.

It was really shabby!

Is home-cooked food delicious?

It was truly so delicious that Bae Juhyun didn’t know how to compliment it.

But after finishing, the feeling of regret lingered in her heart. She felt she might have eaten too much and worried she might gain weight.

It seemed like every time she came to China, she had this worry. Could it be that the problem wasn’t with her but with Chinese cuisine?

Too dangerous! Too dangerous!

With these thoughts, Bae Juhyun sat on Liu Xin’an’s bed, tilting her head to look at the cat sleeping soundly on Liu Xin’an’s bed.

She had actually seen this cat yesterday, but it seemed not to like strangers. It had run away hastily upon seeing her, and she hadn’t seen it again until now.

Bae Juhyun didn’t know much about small animals. She had never raised dogs or cats.

Not that she didn’t want to, but because her job was too busy, she didn’t think she could take care of a small animal properly.

Raising one rashly would be irresponsible to the little ones.

Moreover...

She was quite scared of fluffy animals.

Bae Juhyun silently increased the distance between herself and the dark blue, adorably sleeping kitten. Her gaze gradually fell on the bookshelf that had piqued her curiosity since last night.

The photo album that had been haunting her thoughts for three days was still sitting quietly there.

Bae Juhyun glanced at the bedroom door, which was tightly closed at the moment.

Because of guests at home, to avoid revealing her identity, she had to come upstairs to hide.

Of course, it wasn’t her idea to come up here, but rather Park Jinsuk had asked her to.

She didn’t dare refuse Liu Xin’an’s mom’s request, so she obediently nodded and came upstairs, full of gratitude.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin’an and Li Chenglu were downstairs chatting with the neighbors.

Great, Liu Xin’an probably wouldn’t come up for a while.

She could sneak a look and then put it back exactly as it was, satisfying her curiosity without angering Liu Xin’an.

This thought grew stronger in her mind, and Bae Juhyun swallowed hard, stepping towards the bookshelf.

A few seconds later, she stood in front of the bookshelf.

During the video call, she hadn’t thought this bookshelf was so imposing. But seeing it now, she was truly amazed.

The large bookshelf was crammed with books, many of which looked worn and torn, clearly often taken out and read.

But since most of them were in Chinese, Bae Juhyun couldn’t understand them. On top of that, she already got a headache from reading. So, suppressing her awe, she reached out her small hand towards the photo album.

Just as she was about to touch the album, a "meow~" made her heart race, and she quickly jumped away.

Bae Juhyun turned around in horror and saw the cat named "Yuan Xiao" had woken up. It was now licking its fur with one leg up. When it noticed her gaze, Yuan Xiao paused and stared at her with its yellow eyes.

But after just a few seconds, Yuan Xiao ignored her and continued licking its fur.

Bae Juhyun let out a big sigh of relief and patted her chest in fear.

That scared me. She thought Liu Xin’an had come in.

Liu Xin’an had strictly told her he didn’t want her to see that photo album.

So if possible, she wanted to take a secret look without Liu Xin’an knowing.

Bae Juhyun swallowed nervously. This sneaky feeling made her heart race as she reached for the album again.

This time, she touched the album.

Just as she was about to smile, there was a "click," and the bedroom door opened from outside.

Bae Juhyun hurriedly tried to shove the album back, but as anyone with bookshelf experience would know, taking a book out is easy, but putting it back is not.

In her panic, she failed to put it back and instead, it fell to the ground.

With a clatter, the photo album opened, and a photo caught Bae Juhyun’s eye. But at that moment, she had no mood for it. She turned around and, head down, stammered, "I... I..."

"What are you doing, Irene?

Li Chenglu’s voice made Bae Juhyun freeze. She looked up at Li Chenglu standing in front of her, her face full of relieved joy.

"Ah! It’s just Chenglu!"

Feeling extremely fortunate, Bae Juhyun excitedly hugged Li Chenglu.

Awkwardly hugged by Bae Juhyun, Li Chenglu’s body tensed up.

After all, this was her first time having such close contact with Bae Juhyun....
