Chapter 312: 229. Reliable! So reliable!

The next morning.

Just as Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan had predicted, when Kang Seulgi said she was going to participate in an event and Son Seungwan mentioned she would tag along, Bae Juhyun didn’t suspect a thing. She even thoughtfully prepared lunch boxes for both of them.

Because Son Seungwan casually mentioned they wouldn’t have anything to eat for lunch.

As both the captain and the older sister, Bae Juhyun couldn’t let her younger sisters go hungry.

So she naturally prepared her signature sandwiches. By the time Son Seungwan finished washing up, there were already two lunch boxes on the table.

"Oh! Thank you, Juhyun unnie."

"Hmm, it’s nothing."

Bae Juhyun’s soft words filled Son Seungwan with guilt.

Thinking about it more carefully, the person she and Kang Seulgi were about to meet was in fact Bae Juhyun’s boyfriend, who was the one waking up early to prepare brunch for them.

And they were doing it behind her back.

She hoped Liu Xin’an really had a legitimate reason for needing to meet with her and Kang Seulgi. With the serious tone and the preparation of lunch for their visit, both she and Seulgi believed it wasn’t something that could be discussed briefly over a phone call.

"Seungwan?"

Noticing that Son Seungwan seemed lost in thought, Bae Juhyun waved her hand in front of her face, pulling her back to the present.

With a caring smile, she added, "What’s the matter? If you’re hungry already, you can eat now."

"Um, it’s just that I suddenly realized how gentle you are, Juhyun unnie. You’ll definitely make a wonderful wife one day."

Son Seungwan hugged the sister who had taken care of her ever since she joined the company, using an affectionate tone to compliment Bae Juhyun.

The compliment made Bae Juhyun uncomfortable. She wore a helpless smile and lightly pushed Son Seungwan’s forehead with her hand.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to eat now?"

"No! I want to eat at noon."

She flatly refused, since she and Kang Seulgi had been eagerly anticipating Liu Xin’an’s steak for days. From the videos Bae Juhyun had shown them, though Juhyun herself never appeared on screen, they could always hear her satisfied murmurs off-camera.

And they did catch glimpses of the steak—just because Bae Juhyun wasn’t on screen didn’t mean the steak wasn’t.

Liu Xin’an even included a close-up shot of a steak slice, which looked so tender it made their mouths water just thinking about it.

As she spoke, Son Seungwan swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Then, a piece of sandwich was shoved into her mouth.

"If you’re hungry, eat. Don’t hold back; I’ll make more if needed."

Son Seungwan: ...

After reluctantly finishing the sandwich, Kang Seulgi, who had gone to wash up after her, emerged ready.

Seeing Son Seungwan’s constantly darting eyes, her familiar peer Kang Seulgi quickly put two and two together.

She didn’t know the specifics, but Son Seungwan’s expression indicated she was plotting something.

So she decided not to eat anything Son Seungwan offered, nor respond to any topics she brought up.

The best way to avoid getting duped was to ignore her entirely.

Then, she took the sandwich Bae Juhyun handed her, took a bite, and finally understood Son Seungwan’s feelings.

Wait, weren’t they supposed to be eating steak later?

Why were they having sandwiches?

Carrying the lunch boxes lovingly prepared by their eldest sister, Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan went downstairs and climbed into Kang Seulgi’s car.

"Why did Juhyun unnie prepare sandwiches for us?"

Kang Seulgi gripped the steering wheel, took a deep breath, and questioned the evasive Son Seungwan sitting in the passenger seat.

It was strange for Juhyun to suddenly get up and make breakfast.

It had to be something she said.

"Juhyun unnie loves us. Do you doubt her feelings for us?"

"Come on, Juhyun unnie isn’t here right now. And who doesn’t know her love for sleeping in? Would she get up just like that without you saying something?"

"Seulgi, you know me so well!"

Son Seungwan tried to deflect with a surprised expression.

But reality showed her she was thinking too much.

Luckily, a small piece of sandwich wasn’t enough to make them full.

As for the remaining sandwiches in their bag, they couldn’t bring them back nor throw them away. These were lovingly prepared by Bae Juhyun first thing in the morning.

So Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan planned to give them to Liu Xin’an later.

For now, they headed to the company to show their faces, so if Taekyon noticed they were missing, he wouldn’t go asking Bae Juhyun.

That confrontation would definitely blow their cover.

Kang Seulgi didn’t feel like making up an excuse.

After hanging around the company for a while, ensuring that anyone Bae Juhyun might encounter today would know they had already been there, Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan hurried downstairs.

Their goal was to make sure everyone knew they had come to the company, so if they disappeared later, no one would be curious about their absence and ask Bae Juhyun.

Most would just think they had gone somewhere else.

Without realizing it, it was almost ten in the morning. Bae Juhyun was expected at the company before eleven, planning to stay through the evening.

They planned to have lunch with Liu Xin’an and hoped to be back by mid-afternoon.

Completely avoiding detection.

Kang Seulgi was familiar with the route to Bae Juhyun’s house, as she had often gone over during Juhyun’s tough times, worried about her mental state.
