Liu Xin'an has naturally experienced many times of urging marriage.

Now it is 2022, and for Liu Xin'an, who was born in 1993, in another year, he will officially enter the 30-year-old mark.

He was born in a humble town on the coast of Jincheng.

Since it is a small town, some of the more "traditional" customs in the town also deeply affect his family.

He and Li Chenglu are relatively hard-working, and his father didn't give him such a good life and family background from the beginning, so at the beginning, Liu Xinan and Li Chenglu were both studying in a small town elementary school.

It's all elementary schools in small towns, and in terms of admission rate... Those who are willing to work hard can be admitted to high schools in the coastal city.

But the environment of the primary school in the town was not good, it was not a particularly wealthy era at that time, and many of the children's parents were working outside the home, and the teaching of the children was not so comprehensive. Therefore, the vast majority of students in primary school are only admitted to one of the small towns, which is not so good in junior high school.

Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu were very competitive at that time, and they both went to a good school in Binhai City in junior high school and high school, so they were admitted to a good university.

But most of the peers in the small town actually just stop at secondary school, or even junior high school. Then, I worked early, got married and had children...

It is no exaggeration to say that most of Liu Xin'an's classmates in elementary school have already had offspring, got married and had children.

Because of this, Park Jung-sook, who has been living in the town, naturally thinks that Yoo Shin-an should complete the life event of "marriage" at the age of 24 or 25, just like his peers.

Concepts are not so easy to explain.

Liu Xin'an was urged to marry by Park Zhenshu, and was urged to marry by his father Liu Zhengjiang. Dad, godmother, seven aunts, eight uncles, and all kinds of grandparents have urged marriage. But...

Today he was actually urged to marry by his girlfriend's mother. Still urging in an extremely serious tone.

How can this not make Liu Xinan feel a kind of disobedience?

"Ahem.. Huh?"

He first choked on his own saliva, coughed in embarrassment, and then made a puzzled sound.

Then, he realized that his reply was easily misunderstood, so he hurriedly waved his hand to negate his reaction just now. "No, it's not that I don't want to marry Joo-hyun, don't get me wrong."

"I know, it's a little strange for me to ask."

Pei's mother did not misunderstand Liu Xin'an's meaning, how much Liu Xin'an doted on Pei Zhuhyun, this is what she, as a mother, has always seen in her eyes.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at Pei Joo-hyun's excited look when she mentioned Liu Xin'an, it is enough to see how much her daughter relies on the man she identifies herself.

A year and a half of love is not a short time, and she also understands that for artists, especially idols like Bae Joo-hyun, marriage is the end of their careers.

No one is afraid of money.

Can't be made public... Secretly tied the knot first, it shouldn't be nothing, right?

What Liu Xin'an and Pei Zhufa didn't know was that the last time their parents met, there was actually a serious discussion about this matter.

Well... She must have agreed very much with the two children to settle down like this, that is, Pei's father was a little awkward.

But I can understand it, marrying a daughter is such a thing... For any father, this is a very serious matter.

But Pei's father also knew that it was his daughter's blessing to meet Liu Xin'an, so even if he was reluctant, he still held Liu Zhengjiang's hand with a "heroic" face.

It's like he's going to get married...

To get a certificate with a foreigner, you have to go to the embassy to go through some formalities.

The embassy is very confidential, so there is no such thing as the marriage news being revealed by the staff. If you have such an advantage, why not just take advantage of it?

"I think... You're not the same age as Joo-hyun

It's too young, so let's go through the procedures first, and it's okay if you don't tell the fans, so that I, your dad, and your parents will feel a lot more at ease."

Pei's mother's earnest words once again made Liu Xinan choke on his own saliva.

"Ahem.. Are you and Dad worried that there will be some conflict between me and Joo-hyun?"

In this regard, the concerns of parents in both countries are the same. Without that title, everyone will never be able to put their minds at ease. Best... One more child!

Although the idea is more traditional, having a child can be regarded as a concern. The older generation often starts with the worst-case scenario.

Without waiting for Pei's mother to answer, Liu Xinan smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I've already decided that Joo Hyun is the person I will work with for the rest of my life, let's get married... The main reason is that I am worried that the exposure will have a great impact on her, and this year is a very critical year for Joo-hyun, so neither I nor herself will allow anything to happen that will delay her own work."

"Yes..."

"Let me tell you secretly, S-M is working with the website I work on, and plans to launch a couple variety show led by the two of us."

"Ahhh

She knows a little about the entertainment industry, but not much, so she doesn't particularly understand the reason why Liu Xinan said this at this time.

Liu Xin'an also noticed this, and he continued to explain softly: "S-M will definitely not continue to push Joo-hyun's RedVelvet in the future, so if they want to continue to show themselves on their favorite stage, they need another opportunity."

"You mean to say. . . That's the opportunity?"

"The market for idol artists here is saturated, but in our country, this is still a blue ocean." Pei Mu was stunned for a moment, and then she waved her hand.

She was confused by Liu Xin'an, she didn't care about that, the money her daughter earned was enough for her to live a leisurely life, there was no need to be so motivated.

If it's your own, take it.

If it shouldn't be your own, let it go, this is the most basic truth. "I don't care about that, I just care, you..."

"Mom, this is Joo-hyun's dream, and it's also Joo-hyun's promise to Shiki."

Liu Xin'an interrupted Pei's mother's words, her voice was gentle, but it was full of trust and love for Pei Zhuhyun.

「.. I've wronged you, Xin'an."

Pei Mu understood this time.

From beginning to end, it was Liu Xinan who was always accommodating his daughter.

She took a deep breath, opened her hand and took the initiative to hug her future son-in-law.

Liu Xin'an smiled and hugged his future mother-in-law and gently patted the woman's back.

"It's okay Mom, I also like the way Joo Hyun shines on stage, she really was born to fit that stage." "Hey~"

"So you don't have to worry, and I promise, at most, for a year, I promise to call you Mom!" "Really?"

"That's for sure!" "Ahh

A chill that reached the top of his head instantly enveloped Pei Joo-hyun's body.

She subconsciously sneezed, then clasped her hands to her chest and subconsciously touched her shoulder. Well.. Goosebumps, weird!

"The air conditioner is too cold?"

Bae Joo-hyun sniffed, shook his head, and muttered in a glutinous voice, "It suddenly feels so strange, as if someone has calculated it."

"Calculation? Brother Xin'an?"

The appearance of Liu Xin'an's name made Bae Zhuhyun raise her eyebrows, she showed a surprised expression, and stared at Jin Yilin with a frown. "Yilin, do you have such a bad impression of Xin'an?"

"No, I'm referring to my calculation here... Do you think Brother Xin'an will suddenly come to see you and give you a super, super big surprise?"

Bae Zhuhyun snorted lightly, took out his mobile phone, woke up the screen, and angrily poked his finger at the handsome cheek of the man on the screensaver: "If he can do such a romantic thing, he will not be Liu Xin'an."

"Isn't Brother Xin'an romantic? The ones he gave you

Don't you really like everything?"

"People are not satisfied, Yilin, you will know when you fall in love." If Pei Zhuhyun said this, Jin Yilin might still believe it.

But these words came out of Jiang Shiqi's mouth, so... The credibility of these words plummeted. "Why do you say that you are so experienced, Sister Shiki?"

"I've watched a lot of TV series~" ".. The king of theory, isn't he?"

"Then you ask Sister Joo-hyun."

After speaking, Jin Yilin and Jiang Shiqi looked at Pei Zhuhyun together in tacit understanding.

The corners of Pei Zhuhyun's mouth twitched, and after thinking for a few seconds, he nodded calmly. Jiang Shiqi is right, people are not satisfied, and she is naturally no exception. "That's... You say, will Brother Xin'an suddenly come to surprise Sister Joo-hyun?" "Maybe..."

"Impossible, that guy's dedication is heavier than mine, if he comes to me, what should I do with the live broadcast?" Bae Joo-hyun gave a completely different answer from Kang Shiqi.

No matter how she said it, she was also a real girlfriend, and the credibility of her answer was much higher than Jiang Shiqi's answer. "But that's Liu Xin'an... I don't know, but that guy hasn't done anything like this."

"So... Do you want to bet?"

The gambling ghost group - RedVelvet is officially launched. "What are you gambling again?"

Sun Shengwan, who has been offline, finally appeared.

She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and curiously sat down next to a few people.

The hot air on her face made Jiang Shiqi show a disgusted expression, but Sun Shengwan didn't care about it, and even she took the initiative to move closer to Jiang Shiqi even more, and at the same time showed a very bad smile.

"Yikes!! It's all sweat!"

"What's the matter, isn't it time for you to sweat and rub it on me?"

The reasonable rhetorical question made Jiang Shiqi wilt, there was no way, after all, she did it first.

"Bet on whether Brother An will come to find Sister Joohyun." Jin Yilin told Sun Shengwan the content very intimately. didn't think about it, Sun Sheng didn't think about it.

"Will come unconditionally."

And her categorical answer also aroused Pei Joo-hyun's desire to win.

Yes, she always has an explosive desire to win in such inconsequential places. "Huh? Hey, I'm his girlfriend, how much do you know about him?" "What do you think, Sister Joo-hyun?"

"Definitely not coming!" "Bet?" "Bet!"

The corners of Sun Shengwan's lips were raised, and he put on a very handsome smile. Fish...

Hook it~

Yes, how could the cautious Liu Xin'an make such a decision when he knew nothing about Bae Joo-hyun's itinerary.

Surprise, must not be discovered, in order to be called a surprise.

In order to make his trip foolproof, Liu Xinan is destined to need someone over there to help him cover at all times..." Tool man".

First of all, the tool man must be smart. Secondly, you have to be able to look at the eyes.

At last... I have to make sure that this person is not double-minded.

To sum up, Liu Xin'an can only find one person, and that is Sun Sheng.

Yes, in fact, Pei Zhenxi's sentence before is more appropriate for Sun Shengwan.

He communicated with Sun Shengwan privately and calculated that if Pei Zhuhyun's matter was exposed, he and Sun Shengwan would really not be able to eat and walk around.

Fortunately, at present, there is no chance of exposure.

Relying on poor information, Sun Shengwan doesn't mind making some extra money for himself, and Liu Xinan is also happy to keep it secret for himself, no matter what, they are also grasshoppers on a rope, so there is no need to kill each other.

Liu Xin'an harvested the space and time with Bae Joo-hyun, Bae Joo-hyun reaped surprises and love, and she.. Harvested the joy of winning the bet, this wave! This wave is a win-win-win!

"And what's the stake?"

She continued to play the set, and Pei Zhuhyun, who was already on top, didn't notice that Sun Shengwan's victory was in hand, she thought about it a few times

Seconds later, the choice was given to Sun Shengwan.

"You say."

"Well, I have a store in London that I've always wanted to go to, anyway, our last stop is London, if I win, Sister Joo-hyun will invite us to dinner, okay?"

The store that can be favored by her will definitely not be cheap in terms of price. But for today's Bae Joo-hyun...

Isn't it money?

How much can you eat? How small the amount of food this group of girls is, she knows it very well in her heart. "Okay, then if I win, you'll have to pay for the children."

「OK！ But since it's a gambling contract, you can't disclose this matter to Liu Xin'an." "Hmph, I'm not going to do such a tasteless thing."

"What is the word?" "It's a deal!"

The two small hands touched lightly, making a crisp slapping sound. Jiang Shiqi and Jin Yilin, who were watching the excitement, hurriedly clapped their hands.

The two of them made a lot of money, and no matter who wins, they can both get a meal. Such a bet... If they can, they hope to have as many as possible in the future!

Of course, Sun Shengwan was calculating Bae Joo-hyun, why didn't Pei Joo-hyun agree after careful consideration. For her, whether she wins or loses, she earns it.

Win and eat a meal for nothing. Lost...

Liu Xin'an has come over, can she still pay?

Of course.

Liu Xin'an had better come over.

If you can't get through. The joy of victory could not wash away her resentment. If Liu Xin'an really knows how to look at his eyes, come over quickly. She's really, really.. I miss that guy a lot.

"Ahh

No matter what, today is to visit the future father-in-law's family, even if Liu Xinan doesn't want to spend the night here, it is really difficult for him to speak.

It stands to reason that in order to reduce Bae Joo-hyun's suspicions, going back early today, and then pretending that he had just finished filming with Brother Yu and them is the best situation.

But..."To go?"

Pei's father's calm words made Liu Xinan swallow back the affirmative answer. "Uh... Just thinking about going out and walking around."

"Well, don't leave tonight, the bed and everything are made, you can sleep in Joohyun's room, and have a drink with me at night." Liu Xin'an grinned, nodded obediently, answered, and then got up and walked to the door.

There's no way around it now, I have to ask for leave for the live broadcast, but fortunately, he said hello to Brother Yu and Li Yuanjun yesterday, and when the time comes, he can directly say on the Internet that he has a shooting job, in this case... The reason for not broadcasting is also good.

But at this time, he still has to make a phone call to Bae Joo-hyun. You can't go all day without contacting your girlfriend, right?

This man sent him a message not long ago, just to hear his voice, but for fear of disturbing him to work. As soon as he went out, Liu Xin'an dialed Pei Zhuhyun's phone.

In just a moment, the phone was picked up, and the soft female voice made people feel happy. "Aren't you busy?"

"I just sent my friends back, and I'm going to edit the video in the evening, so I'm going to stop tonight's live broadcast for a day." "Ah~ Did you show them the video?"

Around noon, Liu Xinan really received a video from his girlfriend.

Of course, he also honestly forwarded this video to the two, and then got an excited reply from the two. The emoji is about to swipe the screen.

"Yes, they're excited." "Are you fans?"

"Not really, but you're an artist, and you don't have many opportunities to meet artists... Are you eating lunch?"

Liu Xin'an quietly shifted the topic to Pei Zhuhyun's side, but Pei Zhuhyun didn't think much about it, let out a soft "um", and then asked with a smile, "Do you want to see it?"

"Ah, I'm outside." "Huh? Out of the house?"

"Yes, come out and buy something, and I'll be back in a moment."

"Then I'll send you the picture! The pasta we ate today feels not as delicious as what you made~" The intimacy and longing in the words are not disguised at all.

Liu Xin'an heard it very clearly, he chuckled lightly, and pretended not to notice the other party

The meaning is like that, and he said very gently, "When you come back, I will do it for you every day."

"Okay~ Then I'm going to eat first, don't stay up too late, if it's too late, go to bed early, don't wait for me, you know?" "Got it."

"Bye-bye~" "Bye-bye."

The brief call ended quickly, and Liu Xinan breathed a long sigh of relief and looked up at the sky, which had already darkened a little. Just get through the day, and after that... He was about to get ready for his trip to London.

He crossed his fingers and counted the time, pouting.

There are still almost ten days to go... It turned out that Bae Joo-hyun went on a business trip abroad, and it was only five days. For the first time in his life, Liu Xin'an felt that time passed so slowly.

After the phone call, Liu Xinan returned to Pei's house.

When he went out to make a phone call, Bae Jinxi had already returned, and Bae Jinxi was wearing a cool T-shirt and shorts, sitting cross-legged on the sofa and watching the TV.

After seeing Liu Xin'an enter the door, she raised her eyebrows and asked narrowly, "Call my sister?" Look at how focused you are."

"You see me?"

"Uh-huh, I'm afraid my sister will hear my voice, so I didn't go over to say hello, what do you say? Is my sister suspicious?" Liu Xin'an shook his head and replied with a smile, "Not yet."

"Why temporarily?"

"It always feels... This time the surprise will be revealed." "Huh? Why?"

Liu Xin'an scratched his face and sat on the other side of the sofa, a little further away from Pei Zhenxi. "It's just that the feeling will be exposed."

"Uh... I don't understand."
