The house was quiet for more than half a minute, before Cheng Taiqian slumped down on the sofa in a hazy state, his eyes still fixed on Bae Zhuhyun in front of him.
Pei Zhuxuan did not show too much guilt. She sat next to Liu Xin'an and hugged Liu Xin'an's arm affectionately.
Liu Xin'an felt uncomfortable, but at this time, it was impossible for him to take his hands out of Bae Zhuhyun's arms, so he just showed an awkward smile.
"Are you... kidding? Hidden camera?"
Cheng Taiqian still found it difficult to accept this, mainly because it was too absurd. He couldn't help but look around the room, hoping to find the presence of a camera.
It would be easier to say that these two people deliberately deceived him than to let him accept that all this was true.
"Ha...really."
Pei Zhuxuan lost her patience, she stood up abruptly, and then dragged her boyfriend up under Liu Xin'an's shocked gaze.
The height difference between 1.8 meters and less than 1.6 meters forced Bae Zhuhyun to stand on her toes slightly.
And Liu Xin'an's subconscious lowering his head to cooperate also made this beautiful scene appear in front of Cheng Taiqian.
This time, Cheng Taiqian really no longer doubted whether these two people had deliberately set up a trap to deceive him.
There is no need to be so big... He knows Pei Zhuhyun too well. In his impression, Pei Zhuhyun is definitely not such a person.
Well...but for now, he actually no longer dares to pat his chest and say that he understands Bae Zhuhyun.
The kiss didn't last long. After all, it was just to make Cheng Taiqian realize the reality. She didn't want to spend all her time explaining to Cheng Taiqian.
Instead of exhausting her words to explain, she might as well use another way of "exhausting her words" to prove it to Cheng Taiqian.
Facts have proved that this is very effective, quite effective!
"Did Brother Taiqian believe it this time?"
"...I believe it."
Cheng Taiqian seemed to have exhausted all his strength and fell down on the sofa. He looked at the two of them and showed a helpless smile.
"You guys...what the hell is going on."
"As you can see, Xin'an and I were originally lovers."
"Then the girlfriend in Xin'an's video..."
"It's me too, Brother Taiqian didn't see it~ Our confidentiality measures are really good."
The excited Pei Zhuhyun stretched out her hand to give Liu Xin'an a high-five. Liu Xin'an smiled bitterly and raised his hand to give Pei Zhuhyun a high-five.
"It's really good. Even I kept it a secret. It's really yours, Eileen."
Cheng Taiqian regained his usual composure, he frowned and stared at Pei Zhuhyun, gritted his teeth and said something that made Pei Zhuhyun a little scared.
The specific manifestation is that after hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan shrank her shoulders subconsciously, and then hid behind Liu Xin'an.
Liu Xin'an can no longer be a spectator here.
"Well, brother Tai Qian, you can't blame Zhu Hyun entirely. I am also responsible."
"...What you two are doing is too dangerous. Didn't you consider the consequences before doing it?"
Cheng Taiqian reached out and pinched the corners of his eyes, and then continued to scold Pei Zhuhyun who was hiding behind Liu Xin'an.
The familiar scolding voice made Pei Zhuxuan lower her head subconsciously, feeling pitiful.
"So I'm not here to confess to Brother Taiqian..."
"Axi...it's so early for you to confess. When did you two get together?"
Pei Zhuxuan didn't dare to say a word. She didn't know where she had thrown the lofty ambitions she had promised Liu Xin'an before.
Cheng Taiqian is also very scary when he is angry, and Xiao Pei is very timid and dare not face it alone.
She poked her boyfriend's waist hard, and then completely shrank her little body behind Liu Xin'an.
This is when your boyfriend comes in handy! Come on! Liu Xin’an!
Liu Xin'an had no choice but to smile awkwardly and answer honestly: "December 9th last year."
"Last year...it was more than half a year?"
"Um..."
Well, Cheng Taiqian was completely stupid this time, he even started (this chapter is not finished yet!)
318. False alarm
I wonder if my agent is not qualified enough.
He was actually kept a secret about such a big matter for half a year.
OMG...
"So the last time you appeared at the door of the dormitory was because..."
"Because Zhuhyun was not feeling well, I went over to take care of her."
"Then...Shengwan and Seulgi also..."
Cheng Taiqian was so tired that he was actually concealed by the five artists under him.
"I'm sorry, Brother Taiqian... We were also afraid that you would directly tell the company about me and Xin'an, so we chose to hide it from you."
"Then if you tell me now, aren't you afraid that I will call the company now?"
"You...do you want to fight?" After hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan stood up quickly. If Liu Xin'an hadn't reached out to hold her, she might have really rushed over and snatched Cheng Taiqian's mobile phone.
Liu Xin'an could see that Cheng Taiqian here was just talking angrily.
It is inevitable to be angry. It would be strange not to be angry when someone close to you deceives and conceals it.
What's more, Sung Tae-cheon is originally the manager responsible for the work of Bae Zhuhyun and others. When it comes to love... the first person to tell it should be the manager.
Liu Xin'an hurriedly spoke out to comfort his girlfriend, acting as a mediator.
His comfort also made Pei Zhuxuan calm down a little. She pursed her lips and sat pitifully behind Liu Xin'an again, leaving Liu Xin'an speechless again.
If he had known earlier, he would have recorded Bae Zhuhyun’s previous bold words in advance!
What a shame!
"Huh... let me clear my mind. Xin'an, you and Irene confirmed your relationship in December last year. So when did you meet?"
Cheng Taiqian was able to conclude that before Pei Zhuhyun's accident, she had little chance to get to know Liu Xin'an.
In other words, the only time she could get to know Liu Xin'an was after the accident, when she was completely idle.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At that time, he did not put too much energy on Bae Zhuhyun, mainly because he wanted to let Bae Zhuhyun have a good rest...
Unexpectedly, this person gave him such a big job.
It was so big that he still has a hard time recalling it.
"Well...when did we meet?"
Pei Zhuxuan poked her head out from behind Liu Xin'an, poked Liu Xin'an's waist, and asked the man curiously.
Liu Xin'an replied instantly: "Early November."
"Oh~ we actually confirmed our relationship in more than a month. You are so casual, Liu Xin'an~"
"Ahem, cough, cough." Cheng Taiqian's cough interrupted Pei Zhuhyun's joking. The next second, Pei Zhuhyun, who had a playful look just now, retracted behind Liu Xin'an again, acting like a tortoise.
This person really doesn’t take him seriously!
"It took more than a month to confirm the relationship...I'm not talking about how you are, Xin'an, I'm just angry that this girl is so irresponsible."
"It's not that exaggerated..." Pei Zhuhyun muttered under her breath.
"Have you ever thought about the serious consequences it would have on Redvelvet if the affair between you and Xin'an was exposed at that time!"
Cheng Taiqian really didn't expect that Pei Zhuxuan would dare to talk back. He got angry and yelled, but Liu Xin'an could clearly feel the body of the woman behind him trembling violently.
At this moment, Liu Xin'an's temper also rose. He first reached out and squeezed Pei Zhuxuan's trembling little hand, and then looked at Cheng Taiqian with cold eyes.
Being swept away by Liu Xin'an so coldly, Cheng Taiqian's anger also calmed down.
He took a deep breath, exhaled it, raised his hand and pinched the corners of his eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited."
Liu Xin'an didn't say anything more, he just turned around and reached out to caress his girlfriend's cheek, then whispered softly into Pei Zhuhyun's ear to comfort her.
Biting her lower lip, Pei Zhuhyun gently pushed her boyfriend away. With red eyes, she stood obediently in front of Cheng Taeqian, then bowed respectfully and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Taeqian (this chapter is not finished yet!)"
318. False alarm
I know that my decision at that time was very rash...so Xin'an and I have always been careful and cautious...I'm really sorry."
The slightly trembling voice also made Cheng Taiqian's last anger subside.
Just as Bae Zhuhyun said, the two people's confidentiality measures were so good that even his manager, who was very close to Bae Zhuhyun, didn't know about it, which proved... that Bae Zhuhyun was not just motivated.
She still considered the consequences.
Although I don’t know how the two of them managed to hide the news so thoroughly at that time, but...
"I also want to apologize. I yelled at you just now. I'm sorry."
Cheng Taiqian's submissiveness also made Pei Zhuhyun laugh out loud. She looked at Cheng Taiqian pitifully. Even though she was already 30 years old, she was still a little sister in front of Cheng Taiqian.
After all, she has been dealing with Cheng Taiqian since joining the company and setting up the Redvelvet project.
It has been seven years since their debut, and there are still a few years before their debut. After all, they have known each other for nearly ten years.
"Brother Taiqian is so fierce, I'm scared to death."
"You still have the nerve to say, I am really... If you were a male artist, I would have beaten you long ago."
"Wow~" Pei Zhuhyun exclaimed and hurried back behind Liu Xin'an, whose face was full of embarrassment.
The manager and the artist were on good terms, but he, who almost had a fight with Cheng Tai just now... turned out to be a different person inside and out.
Hmm...Liu Xin'an is very confused and helpless.
Fortunately, Cheng Taiqian is not the kind of person who is unreasonable and unforgiving, and Liu Xin'an's protection of the calf just now also made Cheng Taiqian very satisfied.
If Liu Xin'an hadn't said anything just now, he would probably have a much lower opinion of Liu Xin'an.
At least you should protect your own woman.
Of course, Cheng Taiqian was also a little scared, mainly because Liu Xin'an's muscles were not in vain.
It's really intimidating... I'm afraid he can't withstand a punch...
"Okay Xin'an, don't be embarrassed, there was nothing wrong with what you just did."
"What's wrong with Xin'an?" Miss Pei, who was fascinated by the lake, asked curiously. She kept shrinking behind Liu Xin'an, but she didn't know that Liu Xin'an's expression was so fierce just now.
"...Maybe they were going to rush up and beat me just now."
"Wow~"
Pei Zhuxun felt sweet in her heart. Regardless of Liu Xin'an's embarrassment and Cheng Taiqian's speechlessness, she stood up and gave Liu Xin'an a kiss, then hugged the man's arm happily.
"Okay, don't show off in front of me. Let's talk about what happens next. What else are you hiding from me?"
"It's gone, it's completely gone."
"Okay...let me think about it."
Cheng Taiqian was a little confused. It was okay not to know before, but now that he knew, he suddenly realized that this was an extremely difficult matter.
Liu Xin'an has already disclosed in front of fans that he has a girlfriend.
But at the same time, he was still flirting with his real girlfriend in front of unsuspecting fans.
Although fans are currently very satisfied with Bae Zhuhyun's partner, there are still some people who don't like this kind of thing.
If...he means if, one day the relationship between Bae Zhuhyun and Liu Xin'an is really exposed, those fans who have been praising it will be fine, but those fans who have opposed this approach from the beginning will turn black in an instant.
pink.
Don't question the possibility of this kind of thing, fans...are very extreme.
Moreover, the difference in nationality between the two people will also cause big problems.
The Chinese people hate them, and similarly...their compatriots also hate the Chinese people.
If it were revealed at this time that Bae Zhuhyun has a Chinese boyfriend... I guess fans would be furious again.
It's not impossible for Bae Zhu Hyun to leave Redvelvet because of some ridiculous incident.
"It's a bit tricky... If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have let you do it. Now you're stuck here. You can't get up or down..."
"Is it tricky?"
"Nonsense, how dare you expose Xin'an in front of fans, you will be angry (this chapter is not over yet!)
318. False alarm
The fans might just break through the company door, grab you, me, and Director Jin and beat them up."
"Eh?" Pei Zhuxuan showed a ridiculous expression. How could it be so exaggerated?
Of course it wouldn't be such an exaggeration, Cheng Taiqian was just using a metaphor.
"It's very difficult anyway..."
"Then...what should we do?"
"Don't argue, let me think about it."
Cheng Taiqian glared at Pei Zhuhyun angrily. After Pei Zhuhyun fell silent, he looked at Liu Xin'an.
"Xin'an, how do your water friends react to the current incident between you and Irene P?"
"Well... everyone is actually okay, mainly because Zhuhyun uses the identity of "Little Bamboo" to lead the rhythm. After everyone knows that "Little Bamboo" himself doesn't care, there is no particular resistance."
Liu Xin'an told Cheng Taiqian about the situation of his water friends.
Cheng Taiqian's expression softened a little, which is good news.
The situation of friend Liu Xin'an actually gave him a brand new solution.
"Okay, I probably have an idea. I'll think about the feasibility of this when I get back. If there are no problems, I'll tell you how to do it later."
Now that he knows the true relationship between the two, as a manager, he must start preparing how to deal with it after the relationship between the two is exposed.
It is impossible to hide something for a lifetime. Sooner or later it will be exposed.
And Bae Zhuhyun has just signed a contract with the company, and at least Bae Zhuhyun will continue to work under the company's arrangements for three years.
There are too many uncertainties in three years, so it is necessary to prepare in advance.
"Thank you, Brother Taiqian!"
"Brother, thank you."
Bae Zhuhyun and Liu Xin'an gratefully thanked Cheng Taiqian.
Cheng Taiqian rolled his eyes and crossed his legs: "You two are really powerful, and how on earth did you escape from the hotel?"
Bae Zhuhyun showed a cute smile and her eyes wandered.
"It just... slipped out."
Cheng Taiqian sneered, and then looked at Liu Xin'an: "Xin'an, you are renting a house to make it easier for Irene to come here, right?"
We are all adults, so don't pretend to be this or that in front of him.
Liu Xin'an didn't cover it up either. It was already exposed anyway, so it would seem strange to cover it up any more.
"right."
"You dote on her... I don't have any objection to you two falling in love, but there must be a limit to everything. Don't let me play the trick of getting pregnant out of wedlock, you know?"
Pei Zhuhyun blushed with embarrassment, how could she do such a thing.
Crazy!
"Don't worry, brother Taiqian, it won't happen, absolutely not!"
"Really... Then I'm ready to leave. The amount of information is too big. I have to go back and sort it out first."
Cheng Taiqian shook his head, said helplessly, stood up, and looked at Pei Zhuhyun.
Bae Zhuhyun didn't even think about getting up, and her reaction made Cheng Taeqian understand what she meant.
"Now that I know, you feel more confident not to go back to the hotel, right?"
"Hey hey hey~"
This is indeed one of Bae Zhuhyun's goals. Whose cover can be more effective than that of a manager?
"I'm still very curious about how you two got connected. In my impression, you probably don't have much opportunity to get in touch with Xin'an, right?"
Cheng Taiqian still asked the questions in his mind.
Bae Zhuhyun and Liu Xin'an looked at each other, and Liu Xin'an finally answered Cheng Taiqian's question.
"I live next door to Zhuhyun's house now."
"...What a piece of luck. You've been waiting for a love like a home invasion, and it's such an outstanding guy like Xin'an."
"Hehehe~ Are you envious?"
"You're so envious. Just wait for me to settle the score with you later. I'll leave first."
Cheng Taiqian said something back, then turned and walked towards the door.
"I'm not going to eat. I'll think about it first when I get back. My head is very big." Cheng Taiqian waved his hand. He had no appetite for food.
And watching (this chapter is not finished yet!)
318. False alarm
As Cheng Taiqian walked away, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly remembered that there was one more important thing she had forgotten to ask. She hurriedly let go of Liu Xin'an's arm and ran towards the door.
"Brother Taiqian! You won't tell the company, right?"
Cheng Taiqian, who had just put on his shoes, turned around subconsciously. After seeing the anxiety on Pei Zhuhyun's face, he sighed and showed a gentle smile.
"I'll help you hide it for now."
"Woo~"
Pei Zhuxuan broke her guard, and she moved towards Cheng Taiqian, wanting to give the manager who had taken care of them for many years a hug.
Then, she was grabbed by Liu Xin'an and pulled behind her.
Not even an agent!
Cheng Taiqian also noticed Liu Xin'an's actions. He chuckled and looked at Liu Xin'an.
"When I'm not around, please help me take care of this girl. She's very slender. You must not let her down, Xin'an."
"I will, Brother Taiqian."
The two men looked at each other with eyes that only each other could understand.
And Bae Zhuhyun was full of questions, did the two of them really have any special way of communicating behind his back?
