Chapter 187: 172. Pei·Never Give Up for Nothing·Juhyun (Thanks to the great Alliance Hierarch, Saiya Yao! 5/8)_2

Were you obviously taking sides? If he really argues with Bae Juhyun in the future, he has a reason to suspect that Kang Seulgi will rush over to beat him up...

Maybe realizing her answer was too quick, Kang Seulgi awkwardly coughed and cleared her throat: "Why don’t you go find Juhyun later, I think she misunderstood me and is sulking at home now."

"Hmm, I know, don’t worry. But I don’t know the password to Juhyun’s house, and if I knock, she might not open the door."

"Oh! 965567, that’s Juhyun’s house password."

Kang Seulgi very frankly revealed Bae Juhyun’s house password.

Her candidness made Son Seungwan next to her open her mouth in shock.

"Alright, don’t worry, Seulgi, I’ll let you know we’re safe later."

"Okay!"

The call ended, and on the other side, Liu Xin’an excitedly clenched his fist. He had finally gotten Bae Juhyun’s house password.

Kang Seulgi also breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could speak, she saw Son Seungwan’s piercing gaze.

"What’s wrong?"

"Did you just tell Liu Xin’an Juhyun’s house password?"

"What’s the big deal? Juhyun’s known Liu Xin’an’s house password for ages."

Kang Seulgi didn’t find it strange at all. After all, the last few times Bae Juhyun took her to Liu Xin’an’s house, she would always directly enter the password and go in.

It was obvious that Liu Xin’an’s front door had become just a formality for Bae Juhyun.

———

Since he now knew Bae Juhyun’s house password, Liu Xin’an wasn’t in a hurry to go over.

Multiple experiences had taught him that tonight, even if he did nothing, his girlfriend, who loved sneaking over, would likely come over in the middle of the night.

This happened in Shanghai, and it almost got exposed a few days after returning.

So Liu Xin’an didn’t believe Bae Juhyun would have enough pride not to show up tonight.

After putting his phone down, Liu Xin’an continued looking for the game he planned to stream these past two days.

Meanwhile, next door in the bathroom, Bae Juhyun lay comfortably in the bathtub, her fair arms playing with the water, letting the warm, pleasant water envelop her.

Taking a nice bath after being tired is very enjoyable.

Today, her body wasn’t tired, but her heart was.

Kang Seulgi’s teachings had been a wake-up call for Bae Juhyun. She was indeed too accommodating, continually erasing her own harsh words, then excitedly running to Liu Xin’an’s side, offering herself up.

Once or twice was fine, but if it happened too often, Liu Xin’an might truly see her as cheap.

In relationships, such behavior is a big no-no!

She was Bae Juhyun, famous actress Irene with many fans; she shouldn’t be so readily available!

Right!

She needed to elevate herself, at least to let Liu Xin’an know she was someone he couldn’t do without.

Yeah!

Starting tonight.

No matter what, she wouldn’t scurry to Liu Xin’an’s house tonight.

After making this promise to herself, Bae Juhyun stood up from the bathtub, her fair skin barely visible in the steam. Before the steam dispersed, the bathrobe’s presence cut it off.

She wrapped her hair in a towel and then stepped barefoot onto the bathroom floor, ready for her skincare routine.

Once everything was tidied up, Bae Juhyun, in a pink nightgown and her hair loose, walked out of the bathroom.

Glancing at the time, it was just ten o’clock.

Bae Juhyun picked up her phone and saw a missed call from Kang Seulgi. She hesitated for a moment before dialing back.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Juhyun..."

Kang Seulgi’s voice sounded a bit guilty, but Bae Juhyun didn’t notice as she sat cross-legged on the sofa.

After all, she was home alone and didn’t need to worry about her image.

"Did you call me?"

"Uh... I felt like I didn’t explain things clearly. I think I misunderstood you and Liu Xin’an."

"Misunderstood?"

"I thought you two had an argument."

Kang Seulgi decided to come clean!

"Huh? No, we didn’t argue."

"I know, I just called Liu Xin’an to ask about the situation."

"...Wait, wait, I don’t get it, what’s this got to do with him?"

Bae Juhyun’s thoughts, which she had just sorted out, began to tangle up again.

She understood each word Kang Seulgi was saying, but together they made no sense.

"In short, my advice was based on the assumption that you and Liu Xin’an had argued. Now do you understand?"

"...I get it, but we didn’t argue!"

"So, what I said earlier doesn’t apply!"

Alright, Bae Juhyun finally understood.

So she had been happy for nothing?

Realizing this, Bae Juhyun once again wore a look of dejection.

"So, do you know what’s been troubling me now?"

"Hmm... Liu Xin’an going back for New Year?"

"Yes."

This time, they finally weren’t speaking across cultures.

Once the frequency was rebuilt, Bae Juhyun changed her cross-legged posture and lazily lay down on the sofa.

It’s just a little misunderstanding, easily cleared up.

On this point, she was in sync with Liu Xin’an; there’s no way she would argue with him unless it crossed a line.

Quarrels and suspicions were the things she hated most, without exception.

"What do you think I should do, Seulgi?"

"...For something like this, I don’t think any of us can decide for you. The company will definitely find out."

The visa hadn’t expired, but the company always kept in touch with the airline.

She couldn’t secretly fly to China without the company knowing.

If she wanted to go with Liu Xin’an to China, she had to have a legitimate reason.

But finding such a reason was tough.

Last time she went under the pretext of a trip to unwind, so she couldn’t use that excuse again.

Traveling abroad twice in a month won’t be believable.

Moreover, that period was for the New Year.

Even if young people nowadays had little memory of the Chinese New Year, older folks still celebrated it.

The Spring Festival was spread from China to all of Asia, so countries influenced by Chinese culture had such customs.

Not to mention, they used to be a tributary state of China.

"I know... So I’m trying to get used to Liu Xin’an not being around during that time..."

Bae Juhyun sighed, making Kang Seulgi on the other end of the call think something was wrong.

After a few seconds of silence, Kang Seulgi suddenly exclaimed: "If you had a legitimate reason to go to China, would you be able to go?"

"It’s hard to find a reason. Should I just confess to Director Kim that I’m dating?"

"No, no, Director Kim hates liars. If he finds out you’ve been dating and lied about going to China for a vacation, he’ll be really mad!"

Despite his usual smiling demeanor, Director Kim could be terrifying when angry!

Kang Seulgi, unfortunately, had been scolded by Director Kim before.

So the memory was vivid.

"Humph, I know... By the way, since you called Liu Xin’an, what did you say to him?"

"I just briefly explained that I misunderstood your argument, and since you weren’t answering, I told him to explain it to you at home."

"Hmm? But I didn’t hear any knocking sounds."

Bae Juhyun was a bit baffled since she usually took a long time to shower. From entering the bathroom to talking with Kang Seulgi, over an hour had passed.

During that time, she hadn’t heard a single doorbell ring.

"I told him your house password."

Bae Juhyun’s eyes widened, and she abruptly sat up from the sofa, scanning around.

After a while, she lay back down, a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"He hasn’t come at all."

"Huh?"

Bae Juhyun found it odd too, so she put her phone down and checked each room in her house.

In the end, she confirmed a humiliating reality.

"He really didn’t come!"

"...Juhyun, I think you should reflect on whether you’re still attractive to Liu Xin’an."

"Hey!"

Kang Seulgi’s restrained laughter on the other end of the phone made Bae Juhyun break down.
