Chapter 728: 368. Mid-Autumn Reception (Thanks to Illusion Feather for the Silver Alliance Hierarch! 27/40)_2
"Just treat it like an ordinary banquet,"
she said, while her steps didn’t hesitate.
Soon, they had walked past the garden in front of the venue and officially entered the main hall.
Standing at the entrance to receive the guests was the wife of the General Consul who was hosting the event. Juhyun had pestered Liu Xin’an to prepare her for this, so she recognized at once the woman in the striking red dress with a gentle smile.
"Madam, hello, I am Bae Juhyun, it’s a pleasure to meet you,"
she discreetly waved at her younger sisters behind her and quickly approached the woman, greeting her in Chinese with a beautiful smile.
The familiar Chinese language elicited a look of surprise from the consul’s wife, but her smile quickly grew broader.
"Hello, hello, welcome. I’ve seen a lot of you on TV this summer. Congratulations to all of you,"
Bae Juhyun greeted her in Chinese, and the consul’s wife responded warmly in Korean.
Hearing the familiar Korean, Kang Seulgi and the others hurriedly greeted her and then stood obediently by Juhyun’s side.
"Madam knows about us too?"
"Of course. You’re just as beautiful as you are on television. How many good deeds must one do to have such a beautiful face?"
"You’re very beautiful as well, Madam."
"Hahaha." No matter the age or country, all women love to be praised.
Bae Juhyun’s compliment made the consul’s wife chuckle, and then she looked into the distance and called out, "Xiao Dai, your guests have arrived."
Juhyun understood some Chinese but had not learned this phrase.
While she was guessing the meaning of the consul’s wife’s words in Chinese, a man with a straight posture and a refined appearance, dressed formally, appeared before them.
Before Juhyun could speak, the man in front had already spoken.
"Thank you for accepting my invitation. I am Dai Zhiyuan, the one who invited you all here."
Juhyun was taken aback, then, shaking inwardly, she quickly replied, "Not at all, it’s us who should thank you for your invitation."
"Let’s go inside," invited Dai Zhiyuan. After noticing Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan gazing spellbound at a traditional ink painting nearby, he reminded them with a smile, "Feel free to take a photo with it if you’re interested."
"Really?"
"Of course."
Juhyun helplessly watched her sisters gather in front of the beautiful ink painting and then followed suit.
They took a happy photo with the painting, greeted the very gentle consul’s wife again, and then followed the man named Dai Zhiyuan to a relatively quiet place.
"Let me reintroduce myself." Dai Zhiyuan looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, took a deep breath, and said, "I am Dai Zhiyuan, the Cultural Consul of the Huaxia Consulate General in Busan."
After introducing himself, Dai Zhiyuan looked at Juhyun with a playful smile. "It seems Anzi... cough, Mr. Liu Xin’an didn’t tell you about me," he said.
The mention of Liu Xin’an’s name made Juhyun’s eyes light up.
By her side, Kang Seulgi and the others widened their eyes.
Though they had anticipated it, the moment the truth was revealed, they couldn’t help but feel shocked. freewёbnoνel-com
"Mr. Dai is a friend of Xin’an?"
"To be precise, I’m a fan of brother Anzi and sister Zhu... you," he replied.
"Wow..."
"Hmm, I’ll explain the details when Anzi, er, brother Xin’an comes over. For now, let me give you a tour of our consulate," Dai Zhiyuan suggested.
"Ah, sure, thank you very much."
After learning that Dai Zhiyuan was a friend of Liu Xin’an, the tension in Bae Juhyun eased considerably.
The others, who had been somewhat confused, also relaxed.
While they didn’t understand the exact situation, knowing he was an acquaintance of Liu Xin’an gave them some peace of mind.
-------------
In fact, Bae Juhyun and her party had arrived a bit too early. They had reached an hour before the banquet was set to start, and while Dai Zhiyuan was giving them a tour of the consulate, Liu Xin’an was just arriving at the entrance.
He wasn’t as nervous or cautious as Juhyun and her party. Perhaps because he knew most of the people inside were compatriots, Liu Xin’an walked naturally into the interior and cordially greeted the consul’s wife.
However, what shocked Liu Xin’an was how well the consul’s wife seemed to know him.
"Your father specifically called us today, asking us to take good care of you," she said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xin’an realized what had happened.
"Right, that beautiful Miss Bae Juhyun, she’s your girlfriend, isn’t she?"
The perfectly pronounced "Juhyun" made Liu Xin’an want to laugh. After learning about Bae Juhyun’s identity, he knew that her Chinese name should be Bae Juhyun according to her identity card. But...
"Juhyun" just doesn’t sound as nice as "Zhuhyun."
"Yes, do you know Juhyun, Madam?"
"Certainly, she and her group have been very popular here this summer. My child has been constantly watching their shows. If possible, could you get us an autograph?"
"No problem at all," Liu Xin’an readily agreed with a smile, and then he looked towards the interior with a humble smile, "I’ll head inside now."
