Chapter 290: 223. Daughter! He’s going to have a daughter too! _2

"Another daughter, you aren’t even married yet, and you’re thinking about having kids?"

Liu Xin’an was clever enough not to chat with his mom, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t come to him with things.

Mrs. Park let out a dismissive snort, strongly protesting Liu Xin’an’s way of making big promises.

It’s not that she was creating trouble out of nothing; Liu Xin’an was the one who insisted on bringing up the topic of children.

"Uh... well, I have a girlfriend now, so you don’t need to worry," he said.

"I’m not in a hurry, but you shouldn’t wait too long. Juhyun’s job will probably keep her busy for a while, and having kids too late isn’t good for her health!"

Park Jinsuk was anxious, but she knew some things couldn’t be rushed. She herself was born and raised in such a family environment.

And compared to the next generation, focusing on the current generation was more important.

Juhyun’s work was something Park Jinsuk had come to understand more about recently. After all, she was the future daughter-in-law she approved of, so she naturally paid extra attention.

Asking Jinyoung about these things was the fastest way, and Jinyoung always answered his sister’s questions honestly.

Strengths, weaknesses, current situation, and future development—Jinyoung had sorted it all out for her.

Based on Juhyun’s current popularity, although last year’s incident of arguing with staff caused her to lose some casual fans, her main fan base remained. And S-M had already stepped in quickly to clear up the entire incident.

Those who were turned away by such gossip were never really Juhyun’s audience anyway, and those who liked her wouldn’t be driven away by something like that.

With such popularity, Juhyun could remain active in the entertainment industry for at least four to five more years.

If she transitioned to a different role, this period might extend even further.

But Jinyoung thought the likelihood of that was low. He knew Juhyun’s situation—the biggest draw for her was her looks.

Kids who came out of S-M didn’t have bad appearances, after all, S-M was famously known as a "flower field."

But when it comes to looks, women over 30 cannot maintain their beauty the same way they did when they were young without some adjustments.

These days, plastic surgery was nothing new. Their agency, JYP, even had a dedicated beauty clinic they worked with.

No one could resist the passage of time; it’s just that well-maintained celebrities didn’t look their age.

Once her looks faded, Juhyun, who wasn’t particularly outstanding in variety shows, would likely find it hard to transition.

During these years of fame, she should earn the money for the rest of her life. That was Jinyoung’s analysis of Juhyun’s current situation.

When he heard his mom bring up this topic, Liu Xin’an turned to look at his uncle at the door. First, he gently set down the little Park Young’eun in his arms, then peeked at his other sister, who was sweetly sleeping in the crib, and lowered his voice again.

"Uncle, I have something to ask you. Let’s talk outside."

"Sure."

Jinyoung didn’t refuse and nodded, turning to leave the nursery first.

Liu Xin’an followed closely. His mom didn’t come out either. Needing a grandchild to hold, she was temporarily satisfied holding her brother’s daughter.

To be honest, even she was thankful that the two little girls didn’t look like her brother.

What a blessing indeed.

"What do you want to ask?" Jinyoung asked, sitting on the couch, legs crossed, eyes narrowed to slits as he looked at his nephew.

Liu Xin’an coughed, and after organizing his thoughts, he spoke slowly, "How many more years can Juhyun be an artist?"

The envy he saw on his mom’s face weighed on his mind. At his age, he had to consider what people his age should be doing.

No one said that marriage and kids were a necessary stage in life, but now that he had found someone he wanted to spend his life with, having children became an inevitable part of his future.

He still held to his principle that he wouldn’t force Juhyun to give up her career. Before she was his girlfriend, she was her own person. He had no right to make her abandon her career.

But if Juhyun could indeed stay active for many more years, then late marriage and parenthood would be a problem Liu Xin’an had to face.

Given that this question pertained to his future life plans, Liu Xin’an thought it was best to take it seriously.

This wasn’t the first time Liu Xin’an had asked Jinyoung about it. They had touched on similar topics in occasional messages before, but usually, it was in passing. It was the first time he was this serious about it.

Seeing his nephew’s serious expression, Jinyoung also put away his smile and adopted a more serious demeanor.

"As for Irene, I don’t think she or her group has been greatly affected by this recent turmoil."

"Hmm?"

Liu Xin’an was startled. She had been on ice for a year, yet it hadn’t affected her?

"Don’t be fooled by Irene’s current lack of work. Her popularity accounts for more than half of Red Velvet’s, besides... she hasn’t had any decent, proper solo activities."

"... What do you mean?"

"S-M likes to balance the popularity within the group, giving more opportunities to those with less popularity and reducing the exposure of the popular ones."

"Why is that?" Liu Xin’an was baffled. This didn’t seem to make sense. Pushing the less popular up while holding back the more popular... what’s the goal?

"If I could understand it, I would’ve accepted Lee Sooman’s offer back then." Jinyoung shrugged, indicating he didn’t understand it either.
