At this moment, Bae Juhyun couldn’t stay calm anymore. She let out a "Woo~" sound and hugged her boyfriend tightly, no longer saying any angry words, just quietly enjoying Liu Xin’an’s gentle embrace.

After a while, Bae Juhyun slightly struggled, and Liu Xin’an didn’t continue to hold her tightly. He loosened his arms, let her return to the bedroom, and then responsibly began cleaning up the dishes.

When he finished tidying up, Bae Juhyun had already changed her clothes.

"I’m leaving, don’t work too late. If I see on the monitor that you’re live streaming for six or seven hours straight, I’ll come back and beat you up."

Facing Bae Juhyun’s threat as she waved her small fists, Liu Xin’an showed an expectant look.

"Does that mean I’ll get to see you sooner?"

"...Alright, don’t say things that make me soften up. Why have you suddenly become strange like this? You weren’t like this before."

Liu Xin’an shrugged and spread his hands: "The internet says women these days really like ’little puppies’."

"What’s ’little puppies’?" Bae Juhyun, being a foreigner, definitely didn’t understand this trendy expression in the country. Liu Xin’an didn’t explain. He helped Bae Juhyun with her bag, took her small hand, and led her to the door.

After Bae Juhyun changed into her outdoor shoes and took the bag from his hand, she felt even stranger.

"Why does it feel like I’m going out to make money to support the family."

"Hahaha, hurry down. When you see Sooyoung and Yerin, remember to apologize for me."

"It’s best if you go and apologize in person for things like this."

Liu Xin’an caught the implication in Bae Juhyun’s words.

"As long as I’m free, I’ll come to see you."

Since they had already gone public, Liu Xin’an no longer needed to be as cautious as before.

He could walk boldly through S-M’s front door, report his girlfriend’s name, and then enter S-M’s premises...

Uh...

That still seems a bit too high-profile.

Anyway, he could now visit Bae Juhyun anytime, and Bae Juhyun wanted him to come and apologize in person for this reason.

If she didn’t have time to come back, Liu Xin’an surely would have time to come over!

This response made Bae Juhyun extremely satisfied. Standing on her tiptoes, she planted a kiss on Liu Xin’an’s cheek and then beamed a bright smile, waving at him.

"I’m off!"

"Mm, bye-bye."

With the "bang" of the door closing, the house fell into silence.

Liu Xin’an stretched his body, humming a tune only he could recognize as he leisurely walked into his live streaming room.

Bae Juhyun went off to work hard, so he should also strive to earn money.

In terms of fame, he certainly couldn’t catch up to Bae Juhyun in the short term, but when it comes to making money! He wasn’t any worse than Bae Juhyun!

He found the chat window with the manager, Zao Shui, and swiftly typed out a message.

"What are my business deals for this month?"

"?"

Zao Shui sent back a question mark and then followed up with another message.

"Very rare, so proactive. Let me take a look..."

———

"Hehehe~"

Park Sooyoung and Kim Yerin looked dejectedly at the few people in front of them who were standing with arms crossed, laughing non-stop, and let out a long sigh.

They couldn’t help it; they had trusted the wrong person.

Actually, it wasn’t their fault; it’s just, like always, in terms of understanding Liu Xin’an, they really couldn’t compare to Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan.

Yes, anyone with eyes could see that in terms of intelligence, Bae Juhyun might not outsmart Liu Xin’an, which was the reason they bet on Liu Xin’an.

But the problem was, whether it’s a show or a bet between couples, what you truly need is never just intelligence, but also understanding social nuances.

Would Liu Xin’an let his girlfriend lose in front of so many people?

Clearly, he wouldn’t.

Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan knew this deeply, which is why they straightforwardly chose the smarter Liu Xin’an, rather than Bae Juhyun.

Yes, they also believed Liu Xin’an is much smarter than Bae Juhyun, and precisely because he’s smart, so...

"Sister~"

"Stop it, acting cute is useless. When you two stood on Liu Xin’an’s side, you already betrayed me!"

Bae Juhyun snorted coldly. All four younger sisters should be on her side. What’s standing on Liu Xin’an’s side supposed to mean!

"Who knew your boyfriend would be so unreliable..."

"What?"

"Nothing! Absolutely nothing!"

The elder sister’s authority was still there. The two younger sisters quickly waved their hands, showing appeasing smiles.

Losing was losing; anyway, they were still young, so it was rightful for them to let their older sisters take the early shift with freshening up.

After all... they were young~

The two, who had a great relationship, exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding each other’s thoughts, and then both showed sweet smiles.

"So how was yesterday’s shooting? Was it his first time participating in our shoot?"

"Hmm, he adapted quite well. After all, he’s someone with strong adaptability. It should make for a very interesting episode."

The shooting atmosphere was great, but nobody could tell how the final edits would turn out.

It was unpredictable if JTBC’s post-production might mess it up... that would be troublesome.

"Can you spoil a bit for us?"

"How do I spoil it?"

"What were the questions you made each other guess? We want to guess, too!"

Bae Juhyun glanced at the few gossip-loving younger sisters, letting out a light laugh.

"Wanna know?"

"Yes!"

"You can see when the broadcast goes live later."

"Ah~ Can’t you tell us ahead of time? We won’t spread it around~"
