Chapter 675: 350. S-M Is That It? (Thanks to Illusion Feather for Silver Alliance Hierarch! 18/40)_3

There was no doubt he was disappointed, but this disappointment hadn’t yet affected their relationship.

Besides...

This was also the first time he had seen Bae Juhyun crying so beautifully.

He wasn’t stupid or blind, he could tell the difference between intentional indifference and accidental forgetfulness.

If Bae Juhyun truly didn’t care last night, leading her to forget his birthday, she wouldn’t have needed to be so terrified.

Besides... with her lousy acting skills, if she could actually pull off last night, she might as well go straight into the film industry!

After watching Liu Xin’an leave, Bae Juhyun refocused her attention on her phone.

During the time she chatted with Liu Xin’an, the group chat had already switched to other topics.

Bae Juhyun watched for a while and then, with a strange expression, her small hands tapped on the phone screen. Very quickly, she sent out a message.

"You guys are all in the dorm, why are you still chatting on the phone?"

At first, no one replied to her. After about ten seconds, a silly younger sister typed a response.

"Oh right"

Hmm... classic Kang Seulgi.

---

Even though she had already gone public with her relationship with Liu Xin’an to the members and a few high-level executives in the company.

They definitely couldn’t get away with coming and going to work together openly.

Standing at the door, Bae Juhyun looked up at Liu Xin’an who stood at the entrance, her eyes falling on his big hand.

Specifically, on the ring she had given him.

"The fans already noticed. Is it really okay for us to keep flaunting it like this?"

What they could confirm was that even if the fans noticed, they couldn’t directly admit it.

They had to hold out until Bae Juhyun completed her comeback. Then, during the lull, they could continue her momentum by publicly announcing their relationship. This was the best approach.

Of course, going public meant losing fans, and this was unavoidable.

"Everyone has already noticed. If I don’t wear the hairpin during today’s shoot, wouldn’t people think it’s even weirder?"

Bae Juhyun’s reply demonstrated perfectly what it means to be caught between a rock and a hard place.

It was weird to wear it, but even weirder not to wear it.

"Okay, you have a point, but..." Liu Xin’an raised an eyebrow, lifting his left hand to display the ring Bae Juhyun had given him.

He didn’t know which hand was better for wearing the ring, so he chose according to his preference.

"I won’t keep teasing your fans."

After hearing Liu Xin’an’s words, Bae Juhyun pouted, clearly wanting to show off more in front of her fans.

"You want me to wear it?"

Bae Juhyun nodded vigorously.

Liu Xin’an spread his hands, giving a playful smile, "No way."

"Hmph! I’m heading to the company. Ugh, everyone will definitely bombard me with questions."

The mere thought of it gave Bae Juhyun a headache.

The members weren’t the issue; the real headache was Manager Kim’s interrogation.

"Poor Juhyun."

"Not at all, we should be thanking you. Make sure to save one evening for us. Everyone wants to treat you to dinner."

With their own fame, they definitely wouldn’t have received this invitation, which would significantly boost their reputation.

This gift... honestly, a big meal just couldn’t repay it.

She could only do her best to return the gesture.

After all, Bae Juhyun could settle this grand gift pretty well herself; worst case, she could just give herself to this guy~

"Do we really have to be this formal?"

"Yeah, save some time, okay?" Bae Juhyun’s pouty plea was something anyone would find hard to resist.

Liu Xin’an was no exception, and he naturally couldn’t resist.

"Fine, fine, I’ll listen for your call. Whenever you say, I’ll be there."

"Mwah~ Bye-bye~"

After blowing a happy kiss, Bae Juhyun waved goodbye to Liu Xin’an.

Liu Xin’an watched her leave, then went back to the living room, sitting down and taking out his phone.

There was still time before he needed to go to SM in the afternoon. This morning’s gym session had been replaced with another kind of morning exercise, so he was rather relaxed now.

He dialed a number, "Old Dai, thanks. When you come to Seoul next time, let me know. I’ll treat you to dinner."

"No problem. Did I scare Miss Irene?" The man on the other end of the call laughed and asked.

Remembering Bae Juhyun’s shocked expression last night when mentioning it, Liu Xin’an couldn’t help laughing.

"More than just a scare. Panicked would be an understatement."

"Haha, it’s too bad I couldn’t see it for myself. Don’t forget to remind her to reply early."

"Don’t worry, even if I don’t remind her, her company will take it seriously."

When Liu Xin’an mentioned SM, the man on the other end paused for a few seconds.

Liu Xin’an seemed to understand what he was waiting for, and he spoke in a lower voice, "If we encounter any trouble in the future, we’ll need your help."

Soon, the man’s voice came through clearly.

"As the Second Secretary of the Chinese Consulate in Busan, it’s our duty to help our compatriots."

Both men chuckled knowingly.

SM?

Really?

If they thought they could trick him, they were underestimating him.
