Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 727 - 368. Mid-Autumn Reception (Thanks to Illusory Feather for being the Silver Alliance Hierarch! 27/40)
Chapter 727: 368. Mid-Autumn Reception (Thanks to Illusory Feather for being the Silver Alliance Hierarch! 27/40)
Because it was a very formal occasion, Bae Juhyun and the others chose extremely conservative and serious outfits for the banquet.
She styled her smooth black hair into an updo, wore a blazer over a plain white shirt, and paired it with tailored khaki wide-leg pants and stilettos.
The light makeup and this sharp outfit made her already cold and elegant temperament even more captivating.
Her younger sisters also dressed in light-colored formal wear. After all, it was a proper banquet, and they certainly couldn’t dress too casually.
They had actually attended many large and small banquets, but this kind of banquet was truly a first for Bae Juhyun and the others.
Even though they had debuted for seven years...
"I wonder if there will be other celebrities besides us."
Sitting in the nanny van, Kang Seulgi let out a long sigh, easing the slightly heavy atmosphere inside the car.
"Juhyun unnie, did you ask Liu Xin’an about the other guests attending the banquet?"
"No, he probably doesn’t know either. Asking him wouldn’t help." Bae Juhyun shook her head and glanced at Seong Taekyon, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, and spoke up.
If it were before, she might have continued to keep it a secret for a bit longer. But now, with the banquet time just around the corner and Liu Xin’an also attending, there was no point in hiding it any longer.
She might as well acknowledge it straightforwardly.
Her answer was entirely heard by Seong Taekyon in the front passenger seat. Despite being prepared for this, Seong Taekyon couldn’t help but turn to look at Bae Juhyun when he heard her mention the topic.
"So, this event was indeed arranged by Xin’an for you?"
Bae Juhyun raised her eyes to look at Seong Taekyon, who was staring at her. Her cold and elegant appearance made him a bit hesitant to make eye contact.
Putting everything else aside, just Bae Juhyun’s outfit and her flawless pretty face, combined with her slightly aloof demeanor when expressionless, created an intimidating presence.
"Yes."
"Oh my... Who exactly is this boyfriend of yours?"
S-M had been trying to probe into Liu Xin’an’s background for a while, but their investigations always seemed to hit a snag at a critical moment. Once or twice might be a coincidence, but it happened more than once.
It was hard for Seong Taekyon to imagine that the man who seemed so comfortable and natural to be around had such formidable power behind him...
But wait, if Liu Xin’an indeed had immense power behind him, then why... would he be content with being a small-time streamer?
It didn’t make sense!
Seong Taekyon’s curiosity was shared by Kang Seulgi and the others, but on the matter of protecting their partner’s privacy, Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an thought very similarly.
"Actually, I don’t know much either. If he wants to tell you, he will do so himself."
Bae Juhyun smiled, her answer giving everyone endless room for imagination, and then...
"You’re so good at pretending, Juhyun unnie."
Son Seungwan’s merciless tease immediately broke Bae Juhyun’s cool facade, and her infectious laughter quickly echoed within the car, gradually dispelling the previously heavy atmosphere. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"You’ve been in the industry for so many years. I can’t go in with you for this event, so you must listen to Irene. Absolutely do not say anything out of line, understand?"
Despite still marveling at Liu Xin’an’s abilities, there was one thing that made Seong Taekyon quite relieved.
Since Liu Xin’an would also be attending this event, he wouldn’t have to worry so much about Bae Juhyun and the others.
Based on his understanding of Liu Xin’an, this man would certainly take good care of them.
"Don’t worry, Taekyon oppa, we’ll be careful."
"Okay, Irene, I’m counting on you."
"Alright." Bae Juhyun took a deep breath, lightly pressed her lips together, and then nodded firmly.
The vehicle soon stopped near the consulate. There weren’t any media around since the event was hosted by the Chinese Consulate, and no media dared to risk taking sneaky photos.
However, when Bae Juhyun was the first to open the van door and step out, some other guests attending the event recognized this celebrity who was currently making waves in South Korea.
After getting out of the car, Bae Juhyun extended her hand to help Kang Seulgi, who was following closely behind, and after assisting all four of her sisters out, she took a deep breath and walked ahead of them toward the consulate’s main entrance.
After softly stating her name and purpose, the tightly shut gate opened, and a staff member appeared before them, smiling and saying in Chinese, "Welcome."
Bae Juhyun also smiled and replied with a "Thank you," then led the members through security checks and officially entered the main venue for the event.
The venue was grand and imposing. After passing through a long corridor, a beautiful building came into view for Bae Juhyun.
"What should we do? I suddenly feel really nervous."
At this moment, with no familiar Seong Taekyon leading them, the overwhelming sense of uncertainty instantly made Bae Juhyun and the others tense up.
Son Seungwan quickened her pace to get closer to Bae Juhyun, whispering to her.
In fact, Bae Juhyun was very nervous too, but with Seong Taekyon not around, she was the leader of the group. So she didn’t show any panic or tension, instead turning to smile at her younger sisters who were looking at her.
