The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 69.3

"What are you guys talking about? You look really happy," Jennie asked as she eased into the conversation, taking a seat beside Lisa. She smiled, and he smiled back.

"We're talking about my new movie." Affected by the beautiful atmosphere, Lisa reached out and bravely took her hand in a gentle grip, catching her slightly off-guard.

If she wanted to, she could easily pull her hand away, but she didn't.

"Let's put Seulgi in charge of spreading publicity for the film. If the box office fails, make her pay for it." When it came to new films, Jennie's first thought was related to the box office. She was a businesswoman, after all.

"President Kim, you're joking. Would the box office for a film that the Film Empress is in fail? How could that be possible?" For the new film, Seulgi was full of confidence. Nothing would go wrong as long as Lisa had the leading role.

Jennie looked at Lisa and nodded in agreement.

Lisa was calm when she heard Seulgi's praise, but when she saw Jennie nodding along, she suddenly felt a little shy. The tips of his ears turned pink, and his grip on her hand tightened.

Her acknowledgment and praise were what she cared the most about and what she had been working hard for all along.

The banquet continued far into the night before ending. Jennie and Lisa stayed overnight at the Kim Manor again, in the same room with the same bed and the same blanket.

Although Lisa still felt a little awkward, the awkwardness was easily overshadowed by a feeling of warmth. Even without doing anything, she felt extremely happy and satisfied.

Under the blanket, Lisa carefully held her hand again, this time with a bit more strength than at the banquet.

"What happened with the Lee family and the Manoban family at the banquet today is bound to make the headlines tomorrow. You'll most likely be swarmed by reporters, so be prepared." Holding hands while they were lying in bed made her a little uncomfortable, but she didn't pull away. It was rare for her to take the initiative, and she didn't want to dampen Lisa's enthusiasm.

"I know." The humiliation of the Lee family and the Manoban family had undoubtedly reached the ears of the well-informed reporters already. Lisa didn't know how they would narrate it, but the public opinion would most likely be lead by Mother Kim's media company.

Still, she asked for confirmation. "The Dragon's Emissary will also report it?"

"Yes. We've already made preparations." A conflict between influential families would not only involve the four great families but also the major companies managed by the families. A single news report was capable of causing stocks prices to rise and fall. Since they were in control of the mouthpiece of the media industry, the Kim family would naturally use it in their own favor.

Lisa agreed, but she thought of a problem. "I want to try acquiring the two media companies controlled by the Lee family. That way, we won't have to worry about fighting against them for the public opinion."

Jennie showed a gratified smile. "I was thinking the same. It's about time for the Dragon's Emissary to do some expanding, and those two companies are decently sized. If we succeed, they can be integrated the Dragon's Emissary and allow the Dragon's Emissary to not only completely dominate the domestic media industry but also gain a foothold in the international market."

Jennie was obviously quite ambitious. The entertainment industry was intricately tied to the media industry, and Mother Kim had always been intent on passing the Dragon's Emissary to Jennie, who had thoroughly met up to her expectations.

"You're right. Right now, what the country lacks is a media company that can compete in the international market. The future of the Dragon's Emissary is bright and it has a chance, but..."

If she was going to inherit the Dragon's Emissary, then as her husband and a member of the Kim family, Lisa would also have to play a role. Going into the international market with such a large company was undoubtedly a huge responsibility. Moreover, his mother-in-law would be watching...

"But what? No confidence?" Jennie felt that she was understanding her more and more. She could tell what Lisa was worried about from his hesitant expression.

"I feel pressured, but I'm also confident." The pressure was not heavy enough to rob her of his confidence; furthermore, how could he retreat in the face of Jennie's challenge?

In front of Jennie, she had always felt a little inferior. But as a woman, especially a better wife, she couldn't always be feeling bad about herself.

"That's right. Do your best." Jennie nodded in satisfaction. She'd also noticed that she sometimes seemed a little insecure in front of her. Although she liked it when Lisa looked at her with such admiration, she also liked seeing her self-confident, high-spirited, and proud. She was the Film Empress who stood at the top of the entertainment circle, a woman who could look down on the entire world.

But of course, the woman who could look down on the entire world would look up at her. She felt honored and happy about this.

In her opinion, an individual's success depended on both her own power and power of her supporters. It was an absolutely wonderful feeling to be looked up at by a woman who was looked up at by countless supporters.

As the night progressed, the two drifted off to sleep. Their hands did not separate and instead drew closer.

Early the next morning, Jennie once again realized her dishonest sleeping habits because when she woke up, she found that she had burrowed herself into Lisa's arms again.

Unlike before, she was familiar with the sensation of his warm chest and his pleasant scent. As a matter of fact, she was even beginning to enjoy it.

Lisa opened his eyes when she sensed that she was awake. Lisa had actually woken up before she did, but she had stayed still because she didn't want to stir the little woman sleeping peacefully in his arms. Her sweet sleeping face was enough to make her forget the passage of time. Every minute seemed to drag on but pass quickly at the same time.

Lisa greedily took in her sleeping appearance and watched her slow stirring, engraving it in his heart.

"Morning." Her voice sounded lazy and particularly sexy, and her eyes contained a hint of drowsiness that made her want to hug her and give her a fierce kiss.

That was when Lisa's body stiffened and she shifted, trying to place some distance between them. Unfortunately, she couldn't because Jennie was still lying on her, so she could only bear with it and greet her.

"Morning." His voice sounded a bit deeper than usual, which Jennie also found to be extremely sexy. In the close proximity, she suspected that her ears had turned red.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a glint of mischief flashed through them. Suddenly, Jennie leaned in and planted a chaste kiss on her lips; once again, it came and went like the touch of a dragonfly's wing.

"Good morning kiss."

Jennie, who had just deliberately taken advantage of her Lisa, unceremoniously turned over and got out of bed. She stood by the bed and smiled at her.

She'd really moved too fast, so fast that it was over before Lisa could even react. Lisa pursed her lips in regret and looked at her with an increasingly intense gaze as she vowed to herself that she would steal the kiss back next time. she couldn't let the woman take the initiative every time.
