Hyun-joo simply watched as Lisa and Jennie left. She did not look pleased; she had never expected that Lisa would dote on his wife to this extent.

"Hyun-joo, your coming days don't look great," the old professor scoffed. He was too arrogant to take Lisa's words seriously, "If you don't teach them properly, this woman might end up destroying the Manoban Family."

Hyun-joo did not respond. Her eyes simply glazed over with an icy coldness.

...

On the way home, Lisa scanned Jennie up and down; he was afraid that she may have been injured in some way. He had been traumatized by all the previous times that Jennie had been schemed against.

"I'm fine," Jennie said as she held onto Lisa's hand, "I'm perfectly fine."

"In future, if she invites you somewhere that you don't want to go, regardless of the circumstances, you can directly reject her," Lisa was obviously still upset by the way that the old professor had humiliated Jennie.

Jennie nodded her head. However, she suddenly remembered the other issue at hand: Hyun-joo had tried to find out the gender of her baby. So, she quickly recalled the entire situation to Lisa.

After Jennie was done, Lisa did not respond for quite some time. He simply placed his hand on top of Jennie's protruding belly, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the magical connection between him and his child.

"Noted."

What he meant by this simple word was that Jennie did not need to get involved, he was going to find a capable person to investigate this matter in detail.

"No matter what she wants to do and what she plans to do, you don't need to be afraid..."

"Have I ever been afraid?" Jennie's lips curved slightly as she leaned her head against Lisa's chest.

Lisa lowered his head. Just as he was about to place a kiss atop her ink-black hair, Jennie's phone interrupted his intended action.

As soon as she noticed that it was a phone call from Rosé, Jennie immediately sat up and answered.

It had been a long time since she last saw Rosé, so she wondered how she was doing.

"Jennie..." Rosé was cheery as usual. However, she sounded slightly on guard, "Where are you right now? Is Boss there with you?"

"Of course he is," Jennie nodded.

"Great, then I'll just go ahead with what I want to say. It's like this, a famous French director is currently in Beijing auditioning for an oriental actress. It is for a drama that will be produced early next year. Plenty of famous actress are vying for the role. I asked the director's assistant if it's OK for you to audition even though you are pregnant and he said he doesn't mind; it is common for foreign actresses to do that. So, do you want to give it a try? I was too afraid to ask Jisoo about it, so I directly came to you," Rosé said quietly into the phone.

"You must have heard how dramas with multiple seasons are in trend right now. So, the popular drama 'The Headless Doctress' that everyone has been fighting for a role in, is currently preparing for its third season!"

Jennie let out a laugh, "Are you that afraid of Jisoo?"

"Jisoo doesn't want me to affect your pregnancy...but...I think I'm actually your lucky charm. For example, a while ago, if you hadn't come with me to do a medical exam, you wouldn't have known that you were pregnant. If you hadn't known, then you wouldn't have discovered Nancy's scheme."

Taking this into consideration, Rosé was indeed lucky.

"Let me think about it."

"In that case, I'll first forward you an email with information regarding the drama, as well as a copy of the script."
