Chapter 433: Hardworking" Bae Juhyun_2

"Hmm... do you want to eat hotpot?"

"Yeah!"

"OK, then I’ll go buy some ingredients and broth in the afternoon. What time are you guys coming over?"

Liu Xin’an agreed without any hesitation—he didn’t have many friends around here anyway. Although he was a homebody, he wasn’t to the point of not wanting any contact with others.

So having some liveliness at home actually made him quite happy.

Furthermore, since it was his beloved girlfriend’s suggestion, he had even less reason to refuse.

"Probably after seven in the afternoon. Do we need to bring anything?"

"Not at all, I’ll prepare everything. Just bring yourselves and an empty stomach... but you guys can handle spicy food, right?"

"Yeah, just not too spicy, Seungwan has a solo coming up soon, it’s better not to eat spicy foods."

"Got it, see you in the afternoon then."

"Okay~"

The second call he needed to make was also completed, Bae Juhyun didn’t plan to call Li Chenglu as well, just sent a message instead.

After waiting a few seconds without a reply, she took a deep breath, raised her hand to her face to stop herself from smiling.

She still had a tough battle waiting for her outside!

She had to act nonchalant, or she would end up getting swarmed by Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan!

No sooner had Bae Juhyun stepped out the door, trying to act completely normal, than she was stopped by Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan who had been waiting at the door for quite some time.

In an instant, Ms. Bae, who had maintained a poker face, broke down.

"Ah! Let go of me, what are you doing?"

"Spill it, how did you manage to arrange this? Did you ask the company for approval?"

"What? I don’t understand what you’re talking about!" The difference between the perfect acting displayed when she was anxious and the poor acting shown now was huge.

When they were in Director Kim’s office, Son Seungwan really thought Bae Juhyun was unaware of the situation, so she hadn’t initially thought that Juhyun had someone pull some strings.

But looking at Juhyun now, with an "I’m innocent, I didn’t do anything" expression, Son Seungwan, who knew her well, suddenly felt like a fool just moments ago.

"Juhyun, I can’t believe you kept this from us, I’m so sad~"

Son Seungwan’s response gave Bae Juhyun a headache, although she indeed hadn’t planned to tell the members, but well...she also hadn’t expected her boyfriend’s father would act so decisively.

He had managed it the day after they had talked about it.

Isn’t it said that the more capable a person is, the more they like to drag things out?

"Fine, let go of me. Ask whatever you want, if I know, I’ll tell you. That should be okay, right?"

Bae Juhyun knew that hiding anything was futile, so after struggling a bit to no avail, she looked utterly resigned.

"That’s more like it. So, how did you manage to get Director Kim to willingly let go and send you to China?"

"Because I had someone help."

"Who?"

"I can’t say," Bae Juhyun said firmly.

"Can’t say who?" Son Seungwan immediately followed up, then received a double intense stare from both Bae Juhyun and Kang Seulgi.

She chuckled awkwardly, cleared her throat seriously, "Spill it!"

"Really can’t say."

"... So you can answer yes or no, right?"

"Okay, but I can only answer five questions."

The scene gradually turned into a game.

Using a few yes or no questions to discern the truth of a matter is something often seen in Korean variety shows.

"Hmm... first, is this person who helped you someone close to you?"

After hearing Kang Seulgi’s question, Bae Juhyun thought for a few seconds and then nodded.

"Yes."

Liu Xin’an’s dad was certainly a very close person to her, potentially her future father-in-law. They might even live together in the future!

"Is it someone I know?" Son Seungwan asked the next question.

But this question didn’t really hold much substance. Anyone involved in an international trip would either be from the upper management or a proposal from a partner.

Excluding the former, as if Bae Juhyun had that sort of corporate backing, she wouldn’t need to be so cautious and troublesome.

As for the latter... other than Liu Xin’an, did Son Seungwan really have any Chinese friends?

Obviously not.

"Stop asking, Seungwan, your questions are so useless, you’re wasting chances."

"Huh, you think you’re smart, you ask then!" Son Seungwan was clearly not pleased but eventually just pouted in agreement.

She would let this one slide for now.

"Seungwan, you have the right to ask questions too~" Knowing she probably couldn’t withstand Kang Seulgi’s questioning, Bae Juhyun began to use her personal charm to internally dissolve their already weak alliance.

As expected, coming from their leader and good friend, her words carried some weight.

Son Seungwan’s gaze shifted, but before she could object, Kang Seulgi boldly covered her mouth.

"Third question, is it someone related to Liu Xin’an other than Li Chenglu?"

"..."

"..."

Bae Juhyun and Son Seungwan both looked silently at Kang Seulgi.

That counted as two questions, right?

After all the ruckus, Kang Seulgi still didn’t manage to pry any answers from Bae Juhyun’s mouth.

But one thing she was sure of, Liu Xin’an’s background was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

"Let’s go to Xin’an’s place for hotpot tonight, I already talked to him about it."

"Hmm, decided to go? You should have told me earlier; I would have eaten less for lunch."
