Chapter 441: 272. Happy Birthday~ (Thanks to Master Huan Yu for the Silver Alliance Hierarch! 5/40)

On March 28th, the day before the birthday of Mr. Liu Xin’an’s dearest girlfriend, Ms. Bae, the hairpin he had been waiting for nearly half a month finally arrived.

His first two gift preparations had brought Bae Juhyun no small amount of pressure, so this time Liu Xin’an chose an exquisite hairpin inlaid with Purple Crystals.

The hairpin’s overall design was both small and exquisite. Choosing jewelry was quite difficult for someone like Liu Xin’an who was a real straight-shooter when it came to these matters, so he took Li Chenglu’s advice in selecting it.

Of course, he definitely paid for it himself.

Looking at the small hairpin in its delicate jewelry box, Liu Xin’an finally showed a relieved smile.

Before he got the delivery guy’s call, he was genuinely worried the gift wouldn’t arrive in time for Bae Juhyun’s birthday, but fortunately... it was still on time.

The price of this gift wasn’t as extravagant as that bracelet, probably because the hairpin was smaller and used fewer gemstones...

Initially, Liu Xin’an even thought about making one by hand.

But after realizing the effort required to handcraft such a delicate hairpin... he had to give up.

It wasn’t that he was admitting defeat, but the learning cost was too high, and he still needed to prepare those two little figurines.

To handcraft a hairpin in seven days just wasn’t realistic.

With the gift in hand, Liu Xin’an finally mustered the courage to call his girlfriend.

And then...

"Um... I might not make it tonight. I have a performance review, and it may be very late by the time it’s over," said Bae Juhyun with a hint of apology in her voice, causing Liu Xin’an to wear a puzzled expression.

A performance review? That was a new topic for Liu Xin’an.

Do artists also have performance reviews?

"A review? Do you guys have those?"

"Of course."

"Your company really knows how to pick the timing," he grumbled reluctantly, and then he heard the unmistakable laughter of the woman on the other end of the phone.

Bae Juhyun definitely wanted to complain as well, but who could help that it coincided with today.

"Let’s meet tomorrow night then. You have a schedule with Nayeon tomorrow, don’t you? Good luck~"

As an agent, Liu Xin’an had already mastered the job very skillfully. In essence, it was not an especially difficult task. As long as he did his job well, prepared everything in advance, and was quick-witted at the event... Liu Xin’an was acting very naturally these past few days, not at all like someone who was temporarily covering a job for a few days.

At the same time, he hadn’t forgotten the main goal of doing this job.

Having been bouncing around various variety show recording sets during this period, Liu Xin’an had certainly soaked up plenty of theoretical knowledge.

Of course, this was just theory. How much he could actually perform once he got on stage was still an unknown.

But Liu Xin’an was confident he could handle everything.

"Okay, what would our Juhyun like to eat tomorrow?"

This was his first time participating in Bae Juhyun’s birthday. He had inevitably missed the previous thirty, but he didn’t want to miss any of the ones in the future.

"Um... I want to eat Chinese and Korean food!"

Since his girlfriend had made a request, Liu Xin’an naturally wouldn’t refuse.

He nodded with a smile, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately called his mother.

If combining Chinese and Korean cuisine, then it was best to choose the most representative food eaten on birthdays in both countries.

But considering the vast resources of his own country, Liu Xin’an decided to follow the customs from his side.

In Jin City, usually, the day before one’s birthday is marked by eating dumplings, at lunch on the birthday one eats longevity noodles, and in the evening, one would dine out.

Dining out here wasn’t practical, so Liu Xin’an planned to make a Jin City-styled longevity noodle meal for Bae Juhyun.

As for the Korean dish... naturally, it would be seaweed soup.

He was familiar with the dish as his mother would also make it for his own birthday, so seaweed soup was not a stranger to Liu Xin’an.

The longevity noodles, however, were a bit more challenging for him.

"Why call me?"

"Mom, how do you make longevity noodles?"

Liu Xin’an got straight to the point, and his own mother’s reply was also brief: "Ask your godmother."

"Beep beep beep..."

The quick hanging up of the phone made Liu Xin’an’s mouth twitch. He sighed and then dutifully called his godmother, who was Li Chenglu’s mother.

His godmother was much more amiable than his biological mother, and soon Liu Xin’an had the exact method for making longevity noodles recorded in his phone.

Overall, it wasn’t difficult, but one aspect was somewhat troublesome.

That was finding the right sauce, which wasn’t so easy here.

Fortunately, before leaving, Liu Xin’an had turned to the stores that Snow Cat had recommended to him, and he managed to buy all the necessary ingredients smoothly.

Afterwards, time slowly marched on to the day of Bae Juhyun’s birthday as Liu Xin’an waited.

Of course, even if he couldn’t be the first person to be up close with her on her birthday, Liu Xin’an still made sure to be the first to send his birthday wishes and to be the first person she saw that day.

"Happy Birthday, our dear Juhyun~"

The gentle voice in the video call brought a beaming smile to Bae Juhyun’s face, and her expression made Kang Seulgi, who was also there celebrating Juhyun’s birthday, roll her eyes.

It was really childish, so childish!

After an affectionate chat, Bae Juhyun softly scolded Liu Xin’an, telling him to rest soon, with a reluctance to end the call.
