Liu Xin’an had just started speaking when he was pulled aside by Bae Juhyun.
"Uncle, Auntie, you both take a rest first. Xin’an and I will go confirm the restaurant we’re heading to later."
"Sure, you both go ahead."
"Alright, if there’s anything, you can call me or Xin’an directly."
After Bae Juhyun finished speaking, she quickly dragged Liu Xin’an out the door.
Then, while Liu Xin’an was still a bit confused, she had already taken him back to his room.
"Don’t talk nonsense. How could it be possible to have Uncle and Auntie go find my parents?"
Seriously, Liu Zhengjiang and the others came at her father’s invitation. In other words, Liu Zhengjiang and Park Jinsuk were actually here as guests.
There’s no reason for guests to actively go and find the host...
Liu Xin’an was stunned for a moment, then he nodded in sudden realization.
In this regard, he was indeed less careful than Bae Juhyun.
"So, should we go find your parents now?"
"Let’s wait a few minutes. Let your parents rest a bit first. No need to rush... What was with that car just now?"
"It was the consulate’s car, I think."
"... That’s quite excessive."
"There’s no way around it; they’re here on official business. That’s why I didn’t have you go to the entrance with me."
"You didn’t tell me it was because of this..." Bae Juhyun complained helplessly, and just as she finished speaking, her vibrating phone made her instinctively check it. Then she returned to the door and let Bae Jinhee in.
"Mom and Dad are already up. Should we go find them now?"
"Uh, let’s wait about ten more minutes. His parents just got here, let them rest a bit first."
Bae Jinhee nodded, then had a gossip-filled expression.
"Auntie and Uncle are so handsome and beautiful, and their demeanor is so good too."
"My parents? Really?" Liu Xin’an looked puzzled, as he never thought his parents had anything special.
Hmm... In terms of looks, if Liu Xin’an said he didn’t think he was that handsome, wouldn’t that be a bit too pretentious?
"Yes, maybe it’s because you’ve spent too much time with Uncle and Auntie, so you can’t notice it yourself. Right, Juhyun?"
Bae Juhyun nodded, as she actually could see this point, just like her sister said.
That kind of naturally refined and gentle demeanor isn’t something possessed by ordinary people. At least, to be fair, Bae Juhyun herself couldn’t achieve the kind of calmness that Liu Xin’an’s family had.
Bae Jinhee looked at Bae Juhyun, then at Liu Xin’an, and finally, her gaze landed on their interlocked fingers, and her expression suddenly turned teasing. Read full story at novel-fire.net
"By the way, I didn’t see you in your room when I was sleeping earlier."
"I came over to his, why?"
"You can’t stand being apart for such a short while? Aren’t you two a bit too sticky?"
Bae Jinhee’s teasing made Liu Xin’an a bit embarrassed, but Bae Juhyun didn’t think so.
On the contrary, she proudly raised her interlocked hand with Liu Xin’an.
"I’ll come over at night too, so you can sleep on your own."
This overly straightforward remark made Liu Xin’an blush, while Bae Jinhee looked on with disdain.
"Tsk, it’s sickeningly sweet."
After resting for a few minutes, the three of them walked out of Liu Xin’an’s room and went straight to the room of Juhyun’s parents.
As Jinhee mentioned, Juhyun’s parents had woken up from their nap and were waiting for them.
"Xin’an, are your parents here already?"
"Alright, let’s head over now. Both of them speak Korean, right?"
Liu Xin’an nodded, then led Bae’s parents, along with Bae Juhyun and Bae Jinhee, to his own parents’ room door.
Although his back was to the four members of the Bae family, Liu Xin’an seemed to sense their nervousness, so he gently knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened, and his father appeared in front of him.
Liu Zhengjiang looked surprised to see them, but soon, a gentle smile appeared on his face as he opened the door and welcomed them inside.
As they entered the room, Bae’s father was the first to speak: "It’s so kind of you to come over even with your busy schedule, my apologies."
Liu Zhengjiang smiled: "Not at all. The matter concerning these two kids is currently causing quite a stir between our two countries. As parents, we really should make time to meet. Next time you have the chance, you must come to China and visit. This time, let me be the one to invite you, brother."
I must say, the innate friendliness and warmth of the Chinese people eased the awkwardness of the meeting between both sets of parents.
At least, for Bae’s father, Liu Zhengjiang’s words made him feel quite comfortable, and addressing him as "brother" instantly bridged the gap between them.
After all, from the start, he was indeed a bit nervous.
The meeting between the two mothers was more natural than that of the fathers.
Park Jinsuk first observed Juhyun’s mother, then with an expression of admiration: "To have raised two such beautiful daughters, it’s surely because you have a mother who’s even more beautiful than them."
No woman doesn’t love hearing compliments, and a smile rose on the face of Juhyun’s mother as she touched her own face, feeling rather shy.
"Oh, your skin is great too. Do you do anything special for maintenance?"
"Not really, just wash and moisturize the face daily."
"That’s wonderful, I’m really envious."
"You’re not bad yourself..."
The warm exchange between the four elders left the three younger ones staring in surprise.
Watching how their chat showed no sign of stopping, Bae Juhyun instinctively glanced at her equally bewildered boyfriend beside her.
After a moment of silence, she stood slightly on tiptoe and whispered into Liu Xin’an’s ear.
"Your uncle and auntie are really impressive..."
Even she could tell that throughout the conversation, it was Liu Zhengjiang and Park Jinsuk who dominated the chat.
Liu Xin’an nodded along, his surprise no less than Bae Juhyun’s.
