No wonder she’s a professional artist! Ready for business anytime, anywhere... But this time, that’s nothing to be proud of!
"If you cause trouble, the boss will scold me! Please, Juhyun unnie, spare me."
"Hehe, if you could give us a little extra portion..."
"I’ll give you extra, I’ll give you extra. Go upstairs."
Bae Juhyun had enough fun. She nodded and stopped messing around, then cooperatively led Liu Xin’an towards the stairs.
The second floor had several private rooms. The restaurant had many customers, and there were often some less affluent students who would come here to gather, so the second floor was thoughtfully prepared with many private rooms.
Hmm... Actually, Red Velvet had been here before too, but that was a long long time ago.
Leading the two upstairs was the same waiter who had gotten tongue-tied upon seeing Bae Juhyun. Hastily, he led Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an to the room door, and before Bae Juhyun could speak, the waiter hurriedly ran back downstairs.
During this time, Liu Xin’an keenly noticed the flushed face of the waiter.
Hmm... Just another fan captured by his girlfriend. He had seen this scene too many times.
"...Why do they run away when they see me? Am I a monster?"
Bae Juhyun innocently pointed at herself and then jokingly complained.
In response, Liu Xin’an rolled his eyes at his girlfriend.
"Overacting can be annoying, Ms. Bae Juhyun."
"Do you think I’m overacting, Xin’an?" Her exaggerated tone made Liu Xin’an wince.
Fortunately, before he could retort, Bae Juhyun, pinching her voice, felt embarrassed and got goosebumps.
"He left, so how are we going to order... And why hasn’t my mom shown up?"
Bae Juhyun looked puzzled at the doorway. The next second, the door to the private room opened, and the girl who had attended to them, named Jeongeun, appeared again.
Following her was the waiter who had run downstairs with a red face.
Seeing him again, Bae Juhyun’s playful side kicked in. Resting her chin in her hand, she waved at him with a grin, and as his face turned even redder, she burst into laughter.
"Stop teasing Donggeun, he’s only a sophomore."
"Oh~ So his name is Donggeun?"
"Ah! Hello, I’m Jang Donggeun... I’m 20 years old... Currently working here part-time!"
Called out by name, the young fan nervously bowed to Bae Juhyun and spilled out a string of information about himself.
"Hello, hello. Perhaps... Do you know me?"
"Of course, Irene from Red Velvet... But why is Irene here at our restaurant?"
"...The boss is Juhyun’s mom."
"Eh?!" Jang Donggeun exclaimed in shock.
Bae Juhyun was again amused by the young fan’s exaggerated reaction, forgetting that she herself was even more dramatic in such situations.
"You have to keep it a secret, okay?"
After talking with the young fan, Bae Juhyun looked at Kim Jeongeun: "Jeongeun, where’s my mom?"
"The boss went out. Should I contact her?"
"Oh, no need. We’re just here for lunch, we’ll leave after we eat."
"Umm..." Kim Jeongeun nervously glanced at Liu Xin’an.
Noticing someone observing him, Liu Xin’an instinctively smiled warmly.
This time, it wasn’t just Bae Juhyun’s young fan Jang Donggeun who blushed, but also Kim Jeongeun.
After all, Liu Xin’an’s looks were right there...
"Jeongeun, you can’t have any ideas about him; he’s my boyfriend."
"What! Juhyun unnie, you speak so strangely. I’ll have the kitchen put a lot of chili in your food. Liu Xin’an hasn’t seen Juhyun unnie embarrass herself, right?" Kim Jeongeun was flustered. She was merely admiring the handsome guy, how could she have any other thoughts... ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴovelfire.net
"You’ve grown up, getting bolder." Bae Juhyun sighed. Actually, it had been a long time since she saw Kim Jeongeun last. She hadn’t been to the restaurant when she last came with Liu Xin’an since they were still keeping their relationship a secret then.
The fewer people who knew about their relationship, the better.
"I’ll have a fried chicken set... Juhyun, as for you..."
Liu Xin’an was still thinking about how his girlfriend didn’t eat fried chicken.
But someone answered for Bae Juhyun.
"Ah! For Juhyun unnie, the usual, right?"
"Yes, please give us an extra portion of fried chicken~"
"Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you get the best ones."
Kim Jeongeun nodded, smiling as she responded, then left with Jang Donggeun.
"Is she an old employee?"
"Yes, she’s been working here for three or four years... She started working here during university, and now she’s graduated."
Bae Juhyun nodded, resting her chin in her hand and smiling sweetly at her boyfriend.
"Does it make you happy to have young girls curious about you?"
Liu Xin’an, looking at the menu, paused and felt a chill.
Uh-oh, it seemed like Juhyun’s jealousy had been triggered!
As for the reason... Probably because of that warm smile he had just shown?
Ever since they went public, Juhyun’s tendency to get jealous had skyrocketed, along with her possessiveness reaching an unbelievable level.
Honestly, Liu Xin’an himself didn’t know why.
Maybe after introducing him to her fans, more people recognized his excellence, so... She felt a sense of crisis?
