Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star? Chapter 161 - 159. Time to Go Home2

True to form, Park Jinsuk’s first reaction was to think that Liu Xin’an was deceiving her again.

"Are you kidding ? This unlucky kid has been single for so many years, and oh, now he finds a girlfriend just a few days after going abroad?"

"It’s 2021, not even the sappiest family dramas would go down this path, and this kid is still pulling these childish lies on her?"

Moreover, a few days ago, Li Chenglu even went looking for Liu Xin’an. If Liu Xin’an really had a girlfriend, wouldn’t Li Chenglu have told her?

Everything convinced Park Jinsuk that this unfortunate child simply didn’t want to co ho early.

Upon hearing his mom’s scolding, Liu Xin’an revealed a triumphant smile.

Park Jinsuk knew him, and he knew Park Jinsuk just as well.

He just chuckled and offered no explanation.

After all, he hadn’t lied; it was just that Park Jinsuk herself didn’t believe him.

"I’ll tell you before I co back, how have you and dad been recently?"

"Every day I pray to the heavens that you hurry up and find a girlfriend to settle down."

"...I really did find a girlfriend!"

"Enough already, playing these gas with your own mother, huh? It’s fine if you don’t bring a girlfriend ho, but don’t think about doing that stupid thing young people do these days, renting a girl to act as your girlfriend. I don’t want to waste money!"

In Jinsuk, when a man brings a girlfriend ho, the man’s parents are supposed to give a eting gift.

"How do you know about all these ssy things?"

"I post about it every day in our WeChat group, haven’t you seen it even once?"

Liu Xin’an was silent; could he say that he had muted that group chat?

Apart from his own mother forwarding various unscrupulous marketing ssages, it was just his father’s occasional quirky poems.

Ah, Li Chenglu was also in that group, but like him, her last ti speaking in the group could probably be traced back to one or two years ago.

He had long known that debunking those rumors to his own mom was a foolish thing to do, and he didn’t expect Li Chenglu to actually do such a foolish thing.

And the result?

She was scolded by his mother, being poked at the nose non-stop.

The tech-savvy Park Jinsuk might not be able to outplay these two youngsters, but she sure had a barrage of solid principles...

"Well, mom, I’ve started live streaming, okay? I’ll let you know in advance when I’m coming ho, but it might be a bit late."

"Alright, alright, you do your thing."

"You and dad take good care of yourselves, okay?"

"Just bring a girlfriend ho and I’ll be completely satisfied."

At the end of the call, Liu Xin’an stared at the black screen of his phone, speechless.

This was a case of being told yet not believed, not believed yet always hoped for...

He also didn’t know how to get his mother to believe him.

Indeed, he had to bring Bae Juhyun ho to convince her.

Yes!

For his image in his mother’s eyes and to protect his father’s private savings—righteous as ever, Liu Xin’an thought, completely forgetting that the one threatening his father’s private money was actually himself.

"I’m done washing; you guys go ahead," said Bae Juhyun in a camisole nightgown, towel-wrapped long hair, walking out of the bathroom lively to her two younger sisters sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Those words made Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan subconsciously glance at each other, and thereafter, the two girls of the sa age tacitly extended their hands.

"Scissors..."

"Rock..."

"Paper!"

"Yay!" the victorious Son Seungwan excitedly got up from the sofa, arrogantly glanced at Kang Seulgi who looked annoyed, then trotted into the bathroom.

This playful scene made Bae Juhyun smile. She walked over to where Son Seungwan had just been sitting.

"Seulgi, I have sothing I want to talk to you about."

Upon hearing this, the downcast Kang Seulgi looked up, her brows raised with interest.

The thing that has Bae Juhyun troubled enough to need to talk to soone is probably about that person next door.

She truly never expected that her team leader sister, who is usually so resistant to strangers, would beco so easily distressed after getting into a relationship.

It really overturned many of her previous impressions of Bae Juhyun.

"Is it about Liu Xin’an?"

"Yeah... it’s because the Chinese New Year is coming up."

"Yeah," Kang Seulgi responded, indicating she was listening.

"He wants to invite to go back to China with him for the new year, which ans he wants to introduce to his parents."

Kang Seulgi couldn’t imdiately respond this ti, her brain froze for a mont, but she soon caught up.

"Is Juhyun sister troubled about whether or not to accept his invitation?"

"Right... I heard from Chenglu... the one who will go to China with us, that the New Year is a particularly important holiday for the Chinese."

In fact, they also celebrate the Spring Festival in Korea, since, a few hundred years back, before they had split from their northern big brother, they were a tributary state to China.

When the master celebrates a festival, how could they dare not to follow?

However, with the tis changing, the Spring Festival is no longer celebrated with much emphasis here.

Maybe so more traditional people care a lot about the Spring Festival, but the younger people... especially those busy artists like themselves, are not very clear about the significance of the Spring Festival.

"I have heard of it."

"Such an important holiday... and he’s invited , I really don’t know if I should accept."

Bae Juhyun, troubled, bowed her head; the fine hair on her forehead slowly fell due to gravity, slightly obscuring her exquisite face.

Kang Seulgi, with her legs crossed, leaned back lazily: "I think it’s too soon, you’ve only been in a confird relationship with Liu Xin’an for about two months, right? You’ve known each other... less than half a year, though you’ve already taken him to et your family, it still feels too quick."

"Quick? You an the pace is too quick?"

Kang Seulgi raised an eyebrow, her expression turning gossipy.

"How far have you guys gone?"

Bae Juhyun blinked in slight bewildernt, but she wasn’t naive, soon realizing what Kang Seulgi was insinuating, she rolled her eyes: "That’s none of your business."

"Wow! Have you kissed yet?"

"Ah!"

Bae Juhyun’s face turned red, being teased by others was one thing, but being teased by Kang Seulgi made her feel even more embarrassed.

"Cough, just kidding, what I an is, eting each other’s parents after just two months of confirming the relationship... isn’t that too soon?"

Bae Juhyun was so happy these days, and Kang Seulgi, who had always been worried about Bae Juhyun, naturally felt happy for her.

However, Kang Seulgi thought that Bae Juhyun being so happy now was just because they hadn’t encountered any disagreents between her and Liu Xin’an.

Despite never having been in a serious relationship, she had read many romance novels.

Passion often leads to rash decisions, she thought Bae Juhyun was currently in this stage.

eting parents or making impulsive vows... whether a relationship could last was dependent on how they handled disagreents after the fact.

Now hastily advancing things that were perhaps ant for six months or a year into the relationship...

She feared that if sothing truly went wrong between Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an one day, and they split... her sister, who appeared strong but was as fragile as paper, might not be able to handle the reality.

Not to ntion, in another six months, their coback plans would proceed, and by then, Bae Juhyun wouldn’t be able to spend as much ti with her boyfriend as she did now. Instead, she would need to fly around the country, even the world, attending various performances and events...

Distance doesn’t bring beauty, only misunderstandings.

By then, what would remain of Bae Juhyun’s current efforts?

"... Thinking about it, it indeed seems a bit quick."

Listening to Kang Seulgi’s reasoning, Bae Juhyun displayed a slightly silly expression, slapped her forehead in a manner very much like an uncle suddenly recalling a regretful incident, feeling very awkward.

"So...."

"But if I don’t go with him this year, by this ti next year, I’m not sure if we’ll have the ti."

Bae Juhyun’s words made Kang Seulgi pause.

"Ah, that’s... "

Indeed, it seems that’s the case.
