"Master Manoban, it's interesting how he addresses you," Jennie asked boldly in an attempt to break the awkward silence in the car. The quiet atmosphere was stressing her out.

Lisa cast a glance at her and slightly lifted the corners of his mouth. Jennie was not sure if he smiled, nor did she know if he was in a good mood. However, she did not dare to look at him directly, she only peeked at him from the corner of her eyes from time to time.

"If you want to stare, you can just do it openly. It's not like I forbade you from doing so," Lisa said with his pleasantly clear voice. She was unsure if it was an illusion, but she could tell that he was mocking her from his tone.

She turned to look at him instinctively. His expression implied that he knew that he was good-looking, and he was used to people staring at him all the time.

Jennie was utterly speechless, "..."

"Louis's dad is my granduncle, he's also my great-grandfather's youngest son. When my granduncle was born, my great-grandfather was already 65 years old. My granduncle's only 39 this year," Lisa explained. "His dad went on a business trip and his mum's busy working on a huge case, so I'm looking after him today."

"...." Jennie looked at the chubby kid who was blowing bubbles with his mouth through the rear-view mirror. She just thought that Lisa's great-grandfather messed up his own family hierarchy.

"Big Nephew, where's my Japanese cuisine?" Louis was brought to the storefront of a Sichuan restaurant by Lisa. He could smell the spicy aroma and felt a sense of bitterness arising and said, "Your uncle's still young. He can't take spicy food!"

Lisa replied, "Hehe, a clueless ally wanting to eat Japanese food?"

"Big Nephew, is there any non-spicy meat? Something like ribs would be good," Louis asked resentfully.

Lisa was holding the menu in his hands. His eyes swept across steamed pork ribs on the menu, but he kept a straight face and replied, "No. They only serve spicy meat."

Louis was biting down and pulling on the handkerchief provided by the restaurant, "You're just lying to me because I can't read."

In the end, the dishes placed in front of Louis were non-spicy vegetables.

Jennie looked at him chewing on the vegetables with his teary eyes and sad face. She felt bad for him and discreetly ordered the steamed pork ribs.

Louis held a piece of steamed pork rib in one hand, chewing on it and staining his entire mouth with oil. He was touched. "Jenjen, you're the best indeed. There are actually non-spicy pork ribs on the menu but Big Nephew bullied me because I couldn't read. No wonder he's still single at his age."

Jennie did not know how to respond, "..."

Lisa said nothing as well, "..."

"It'd be great if you were Big Nephew's wife, then I wouldn't have to be abused by him all the time. I'd be so blessed to have a caring and gentle niece-in-law like you!" Louis was eating his ribs in immense satisfaction. "Do you want to consider him? My Big Nephew is rich and simple-minded."

"Ahem!" Jennie was stuffing steamed fish and bean sprouts together into her mouth but she choked on it when she heard that. The chili oil traveled to her throat directly, causing her to cough until tears came out from her eyes. She was gasping for air because she could not breathe, and her throat was in burning pain.

Lisa quickly poured her a glass of water, then he asked for a small bowl of ice from the waiter.

After Jennie resumed her normal breathing, he stuffed an ice cube directly into her mouth and said, "Let it stay in your mouth for a while. You'll feel better."

She felt his touch lingered on her lips and it made her numb. Her face was already red from all the coughing, but it was even redder now.

"I..." Jennie struggled to speak.

"What's wrong?" Lisa asked with his face looking concerned. He put his face a little too close to hers.

She felt like she was breathing in the air that he was exhaling when he talked. However, she could tell from his expression that he was genuinely concerned, so she did not know how to ask him to stay further away from her.

"There's a fishbone stuck inside my throat..." Jennie was mortified. She did not know it was possible to embarrass herself even during a meal.

Lisa took an empty teacup and said, "Spit out the ice cube. Let me see."

Her face was flushed red. She was so ashamed that she wanted to hide from everyone. It seemed unbecoming to spit out the ice cube in front of him.

"Hurry up. Don't get cut by the fishbone," Lisa urged. He got even closer to her without her being aware of it.

She had no choice but to cover up her mouth while holding the teacup, then she spat out the ice cube into the teacup.

Lisa pinched her chin with his long and masculine fingers. His eyes were fixed on her lips that were slightly opened.

Her lips were trembling intensely. He did not touch her lips, but her lips were already paralyzed. She could not help but think of the feeling when his fingertips brushed through her lips.

He was so close to her that she could feel him breathing on her lips, and his pointed nose seemed to be coming into contact with the tip of her nose.

"Open your mouth." She was overwhelmed by anxiety when she faintly heard his attractive husky voice.

Jennie felt like her head was about to explode. She pursed her lips even harder.

Hoo...Hooligan, what are you trying to do?!

"What are you thinking about? Open your mouth and let me take a look at the fishbone," Lisa said as he squeezed her chin.

She could feel her chin heating up and trembling, but she was unwilling to do as he said. It was humiliating to let a man look into her mouth. She felt embarrassed to let her dentist do so, let alone Lisa.

"I'll drink some water to see if it'll flush the fishbone down," Jennie murmured. He was standing so close to her, but she did not dare to speak.

She wanted to move her chin to escape his grip, but that made his grip even tighter. The extra pressure he exerted did not cause her any pain, but it was enough to keep her still.

"Just listen to me for once," Lisa said softly. Her face was burned by the heat of his breath, and his tone made her feel uneasy. He was talking to her like she was a kid!

"Nope!" Jennie blurted out instinctively. She was so embarrassed after saying that. Something must have gotten into her head for her to talk to him like that. She even sounded like she was flirting!

Jennie, you actually don't know him that well!
