Chapter 414: 263. Versailles Xiao Pei

"Um! Got time? You’re unable to reach Xin’an? I was just talking to him on the phone..."

Bae Juhyun still couldn’t figure out why Liu Xin’an’s dad would contact her. She assumed it was because she had been talking to Liu Xin’an on the phone just now.

But since he couldn’t get through, he contacted her.

Otherwise... what else could it be?

"Oh, no, I’m looking for you."

"Looking for me?"

"Yes, if it’s convenient now, how about having a chat with me?"

Bae Juhyun didn’t answer immediately. She looked around and realized that this wasn’t a particularly private environment.

It was fine if it was a short chat with Liu Xin’an earlier. But seeing how Liu Xin’an’s dad seemed serious about having a conversation, Bae Juhyun thought for a short while before responding.

"Uncle, could you give me a few minutes? I want to find a quieter place... I’ll call you back shortly."

"Sure, go ahead."

"Um!"

Bae Juhyun carefully waited for Liu Zhengjiang to hang up before rushing to the practice room.

Under the curious gazes of her members, Bae Juhyun ran into the dressing room, but soon peeked her head out again, staring at the younger members outside.

"I have a very, very important call to make. If Taekyon oppa comes by later, cover for me for a bit."

Was there a more reassuring place in the company than the practice room dressing room?

Definitely not.

Moreover, with the members covering for her, Bae Juhyun felt that if it was here, she could definitely properly answer Liu Zhengjiang’s questions.

Meanwhile, Bae Juhyun’s head was also a mess.

She still couldn’t guess the reason why Liu Zhengjiang was contacting her. Not long ago, this uncle had personally said he acknowledged her as family.

It wasn’t related to this... then what could it be?

Bae Juhyun stopped making wild guesses and quickly dialed back. After a few seconds, the call was answered.

"Hello."

"Ah, uncle, I’ve now found a more convenient place to chat with you. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Rather than overthinking, she decided to calm herself and listen carefully to what could be her future father-in-law’s words.

"Yes, Xin’an has a program collaborating with their website. You mentioned it before, do you still remember?"

"Huh..." The sudden topic made Bae Juhyun momentarily freeze. She paused for a moment, then quickly nodded, her voice full of respect. "Yes, I know about it. What’s going on with it?"

"I heard from Xin’an that this program is closely related to your work, but it seems you can’t participate. Is that the case?"

"Yes... due to some personal reasons, I can’t be part of this project..." Mentioning this almost made Bae Juhyun cry.

It had been troubling her for a very long time.

Since hearing from Son Seungwan yesterday that the activity had been finalized, she had been thinking of how to find a reason to join the shoot.

But unfortunately, such a reason was hard to come by, and so far, she was still clueless.

"Hmm..."

The thoughtful sound from the man on the other end of the phone made Bae Juhyun a bit nervous.

"Uncle..."

"If you can’t join the shoot directly, how about coming along?"

Bae Juhyun gripped her phone tightly and forced a smile, "That would be difficult too. Currently, my relationship with Xin’an isn’t known to the company, so I can’t find a suitable reason to persuade my company to let me go. It’s really bad that I can’t be there in person for such an important job of Xin’an’s..."

Bae Juhyun instinctively expressed her apologies to the man on the other end of the phone. Although she didn’t know why Liu Xin’an’s dad knew about these things, she felt she hadn’t fulfilled her duties as a girlfriend.

No matter what, she had to show her stance first in front of Liu Zhengjiang.

But the steady voice of Liu Zhengjiang that came through her ear stopped her apology.

The man’s voice was gentle, and upon listening closely, she could even detect a hint of a smile.

It was the concern and care of an elder for the younger generation.

Bae Juhyun sensed it.

"Juhyun, do you want to go?"

"...ah?"

"He’s worked hard for this job. If possible, I also hope you can witness Xin’an’s efforts and his rewards. So, Juhyun, do you want to go?"

Liu Xin’an was indeed very much like his father.

Both were good at observing people’s hearts.

Both could touch the softest parts of others’ hearts.

As if seeing through her stubbornness and strength, Liu Zhengjiang used a gentle voice that Bae Juhyun found hard to resist, peeling away the shell around her tender heart.

"...Well, I want to go." She sniffled, sounding like she was whining to her own father.

She wasn’t usually like this, but this elder made her feel so relaxed and warm.

"Then let uncle help you this time. Your company is S-M, right?"

"Yes... huh? How would you help me?" Bae Juhyun instinctively responded, then was somewhat shocked and asked the man on the other end. But realizing her tone might seem offensive, she quickly bowed to the empty dressing room, "Ah, no, I didn’t mean that... Sorry, uncle, I was just too surprised."

"Didn’t Xin’an and Chenglu tell you about me?"

"Uh... Xin’an only told me you’re a senior executive at a big company. I don’t know the specifics..." Bae Juhyun cautiously answered, telling the man on the other end everything she knew.
