Chapter 552: 309. His Change

"There was a little issue, so I have to leave for a bit."

Since he started dating, Liu Xin’an had turned into a master of lying without batting an eye.

His lies always made his viewers shoot out question marks, knowing that he quickly answered the call out of worry for Bae Juhyun.

He picked up the phone so fast, he didn’t have time to turn off the microphone and camera.

Of course, even so, he sensibly didn’t reveal Bae Juhyun’s name. He covered it up by calling her "darling" instead of using her real name.

[Can you at least hide that doting smile on your face when you say that?]

[Is Juhyun back in the country? I understand a bit of Korean. It seems like Xin’an-ge is going to meet someone...]

Liu Xin’an merely glanced at the speculative comments in the chat and didn’t pay much attention. Waving at the camera, he turned off the live stream.

His girlfriend called saying she wanted to see him, was he supposed to let her down?

No way! Even if there were mountains of blades and seas of flames, he would go see her!

But what legitimate reason should he use to justify going over there...

He thought for a moment, glancing at the time in the bottom right corner of his computer.

It was already nine at night. Finding a proper reason to see Bae Juhyun at this hour was indeed tricky.

Just as he picked up the phone to call Seong Taekyon to concoct a lie and rush over to see Bae Juhyun, she called him first.

Liu Xin’an hurriedly and clumsily answered. This time, it was a video call.

As soon as he saw the beautiful woman on the screen, Bae Juhyun scolded him: "Didn’t you turn off the camera and microphone when you answered my call?"

"Uh... How do you know?"

"A fan sent me a private message asking if I returned to China. They said you left in a hurry. If you come running to see me now, how will you explain if you’re discovered?"

Of course, Bae Juhyun also wanted to see Liu Xin’an. But if by chance... she meant if, word reached Taekyon-ge, and he received Liu Xin’an’s call soon after...

That suspicious guy would definitely overthink things.

"Uh... What should I do then?"

"Dummy, wait there, I’ll come to you!"

"...Huh?"

"If you can’t come here, then I’ll go there. Duh! Wait for me, I’m heading out now."

"Huh?"

Before Liu Xin’an could react, the call ended.

Holding the phone, he blinked quietly and eventually burst out laughing, shaking his head helplessly.

This girl... Liu Xin’an used to be excessively cautious and got teased by Bae Juhyun for it. But today, it was Bae Juhyun being cautious while he wanted to act on impulse, and she ended up scolding him.

...

For Bae Juhyun, sneaking out of the hotel to find Liu Xin’an was no big deal anymore.

With her petite figure, she rarely attracted attention. Besides, the paparazzi who specialized in stalking celebrities mostly hung around the dorms rather than hotels, so the beautiful woman dressed in a khaki hoodie, jeans, and with her long hair tucked under a baseball cap easily slipped out of the hotel.

Even though it was already nine at night, Shanghai was still bustling. The swiftly passing cars on the roadside and the streetlights filling the streets gave Bae Juhyun a strong sense of security.

Briskly making her way to Liu Xin’an’s doorstep, she used her key card to open the door and excitedly announced her arrival.

"Xin’an!"

Her call quickly attracted a tall man.

"You really came?"

"Hm-hm, I said I would, so of course, I would."

Bae Juhyun proudly raised her head, her beautiful face hidden under the baseball cap, dazzling Liu Xin’an.

Before he could snap out of his daze, Bae Juhyun had already taken off her shoes and, walking on her socks, she reached the entrance.

With a few quick steps, she threw herself into his arms.

"I’m here to see you, Liu Xin’an!"

Hearing the excitement in her voice, Liu Xin’an raised an eyebrow and hugged her tightly. She instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist, making it harder for her to fall.

Supporting her legs, Liu Xin’an curiously studied her bright and cheerful face.

"Did something good happen? Why are you so excited?"

"I renewed my contract with the company!"

"Oh? Already settled?" Her answer made Liu Xin’an’s eyes widen. He knew his girlfriend had been stressing over the renewal for a long time and didn’t expect it to be resolved now.

"Yes, I just signed the contract. So I wanted to come see you."

Good news should naturally be shared first with the one you love the most.

Moreover... The significance of this contract renewal was profoundly important. It meant that Bae Juhyun had finally emerged from her darkest days.

She genuinely enjoyed her career and wished to continue on this path as an idol.

After all, she couldn’t act, wasn’t good at variety shows, and her singing was just passable...

If she didn’t earn more during this time, she would have to consider transitioning in the future.

Now that the contract was secured, at least for the next three years, she could focus on making money again!

With Liu Xin’an being so ambitious, she had to work hard too.
