Yoongi looked back at Jinhwan, sat down on the sofa expressionlessly and turned on the TV. "She is taking a nap after having lunch. I'll tell her you are on a business trip when she wakes up."

Jinhwan nodded. "Okay, she hasn't recovered. Don't wake her up. I'm going upstairs to pack."

Yoongi nodded. Lalisa who was driving to the airport must be very grateful if she knew her biological brother was so thoughtful.

Yoongi was relieved after seeing Jinhwan out. Then he felt funny when he recalled how nervous he was just now.

He took his cell phone and sent a message to Lalisa in WeChat. Then his cell phone dinged. He thought it must be Lalisa's message, so he turned on WeChat with a smile. But when he saw who the message sender was, he paused and then clicked on the message.

Jennie: Yoongi, are you available tonight? Let's have dinner together?

Perhaps because Yoongi didn't reply to her message for long, soon the second message of hers popped out.

Jennie: Didn't you say you owe me one? Then pay me back tonight.

Yoongi looked at the message. It had been quite a while before he replied: I'm free. You name the place.

Jennie: Okay, I'll send you a message after I make reservation.

Yoongi: Okay.

...

Jennie looked at the short reply and frowned unhappily. It had been quite a while before she put away her cell phone and said to her assistant, "Book a table in a restaurant with fewer customers."

The assistant nodded, signaled the make-up artist to put on makeup for Jennie and said, "There is a good Chinese food restaurant on the riverside. It's a membership restaurant, so it doesn't have many customers. I'll book a table now."

"Wait a minute." Jennie stopped her assistant from making the call and said with a frown, "Book a table in a restaurant with expensive and bad food."

Her assistant gave her a questioning look, but the latter just looked at her. She could only nod. "Okay, I'll do it now."

Jennie closed her eyes and let the make-up artist put on the makeup for her.

...

Lalisa and Jungkook put on the skin masks in the car. Jungkook didn't use the skin mask he used before but used a common-looking one. Although this skin mask couldn't cover up his domineering aura, he didn't stand out that much in the crowd with this skin mask.

Lalisa looked at him and laughed. "Why did you change your skin mask?"

"I showed up in France with this skin mask and some people have seen my face, so I can't use it again." Jungkook touched the skin mask on his face. "This is newly developed by Long Xiao. No one will recognize me when I wear it."

Lalisa shrugged. "I don't mind as long as you stay by my side." Then she took his arm and closed her eyes for rest, asking, "How did Grandpa Qin get Qin Yeri out of the police station? It must have taken him a lot of effort."

"Well, it didn't take him much effort, but..." Jungkook looked at Lalisa and lowered his voice. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Lalisa paused, opened her eyes and looked at Jungkook in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Jungkook looked into her eyes and tightly held the uninjured hand of hers, asking hoarsely, "Why didn't you tell me Qin Yeri had a part in the air crash killing you?"
