Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1111 - 496: Newlyweds
Bae Juhyun and the others left the stage after saying goodbye to the fans.
If they stayed on stage watching everyone leave, most fans wouldn't go, which is something they've learned from experience.
The first thing Bae Juhyun did after stepping off the stage was to give her boyfriend a warm hug.
The intimate hug was brief, after all, while the fan meeting was over, their filming wasn't finished yet.
"You worked hard."
Liu Xin'an could clearly feel the warmth coming from Bae Juhyun's body. After all, she had been singing and dancing on stage for an hour, and she was quite uncomfortable, drenched in sweat.
Unfortunately, there was no bathroom available for them to freshen up.
"Where did you put the cake?"
"I left it at the store. There are too many people here, I was afraid it might get knocked over or something."
"You didn't sneak a bite, did you?"
"Of course not, how could you think that of me?"
Liu Xin'an smiled and shook his head, then pulled Bae Juhyun in the direction of the store.
However, he didn't take Bae Juhyun to the store immediately, because she was still covered in sweat at that time, and walking directly into an air-conditioned room would likely give her a cold.
After letting some of the sweat evaporate from their bodies, they finally returned to the store.
"Ah~ So refreshing."
The cool air enveloped them, and this comfortable feeling prompted everyone to express their amazement involuntarily.
It was now 9:20 PM, and the fan meeting had lasted 20 minutes longer than expected.
Once the heat-induced restlessness subsided, Bae Juhyun looked at Son Seungwan.
"Seungwan, how much did we earn today?"
"Hmm... How many orders were placed during the fan meeting?"
Son Seungwan didn't answer directly but looked at Liu Xin'an.
While they were performing, Liu Xin'an and the staff were in charge of taking orders.
She saw many fans holding drinks during the event, so it should have been a good haul tonight.
"282 cups."
"282 plus 225... We sold 507 cups today. At 6 per cup... over 3000."
"Wow~"
This amount of money made everyone exclaim in admiration again.
But soon, Liu Xin'an doused them with a bucket of cold water, laughing.
"To be precise, it's 2500, you earn 5 per cup, and I take 1 from that."
His unhurried words made everyone's breathing quicken.
Bae Juhyun even lightly punched him with her small fist.
"We gave you such a big surprise, and you're still asking for this?"
"Exactly, what do you need the money for anyway?"
"Ah! The cake, where's the cake?"
At the mention of the birthday, their growling stomachs shifted their attention away without needing Liu Xin'an to change the topic.
Kang Seulgi hurried over to the fridge; after finding the cake, she let out a cheer and quickly took it out.
Bae Juhyun didn't join in the fun over there because her small hand was being held by Liu Xin'an, and she couldn't break away.
It was evident that Liu Xin'an was genuinely surprised by the cake she had meticulously prepared. Normally, the cautious Liu Xin'an would never act so intimately with her in front of the camera.
"Come on, don't compete with us for this little bit of money."
As the group's leader, Bae Juhyun decided to put in some effort.
She interlocked her fingers with Liu Xin'an's and coquettishly said in a tender voice.
Liu Xin'an was, of course, just joking around, and just as they said, he didn't have much use for the money anyway.
But through this, he got to see Bae Juhyun's adorable side, which was worth more than anything.
"If you give me a kiss, I'll give it all to you."
"Ah, you're making me sound cheap. Do you think you can buy my kiss for that bit of money?" Bae Juhyun snorted lightly and complained with a smile.
"Then a kiss on the cheek."
Liu Xin'an lowered the bar a notch.
This time, Bae Juhyun didn't complain anymore. She gently cupped her boyfriend's handsome face, pressed her soft lips against it, and after a "mwah" sound, Liu Xin'an was satisfied.
And this moment was dutifully captured by the camera.
Lee Yeonju instinctively turned her head to glance at Seong Taekyon, who had lines of frustration across his face, with a faint smile on her face.
"Keep this part?"
Seong Taekyon sighed. He suddenly realized that this group show was essentially Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an constantly testing the boundaries of their fans.
From subtle actions at the start, to holding hands together recently, to now kissing in front of the camera as if it wasn't there...
If this keeps going, it might not be long before we see the two of them sharing a passionate kiss on camera?
The thought alone is terrifying.
"Let's keep it for now. This should be content for the later episodes, right?"
"Yeah, thinking of checking fan reactions before deciding?"
Seong Taekyon nodded. Right now, the bond between these two is so strong that they won't split up. Eventually, fans will get used to seeing them being intimate. Slowly familiarizing fans with it through these small tests is a good idea.
Reflecting on this, Seong Taekyon couldn't help but marvel at how fortunate it is that Liu Xin'an is a semi-outsider, and has also provided so much support to Bae Juhyun and the others' careers.
If it had been another industry insider who couldn't bring any benefit to Bae Juhyun and the others, this scenario playing out... the entertainment world might be in for a tumultuous storm.
He was well aware of just how much popularity Irene had under his management.
"But honestly, the way Irene and Liu Xin'an interact is the most natural I've seen among celebrity couples. Doesn't the company want to capitalize on this trend to promote them more? It would benefit Red Velvet, right."
