After sending off the youngsters, Lisa and Kai boarded the same car to head back to the office.

Kai shifted in his seat before turning around to ask Lisa something. In a small voice, he asked, "Mr. Manoban, when did you get attached?" As Lisa's closest colleague and friend, how could Kai not know that Lisa had a girlfriend now?

He was no longer Lisa's confidante.

Lisa replied, "Over the past few days."

Kai mulled over this. There was only one possible candidate. Thinking of how Ms. Jennie cut her beautiful hair to gain Mr. Manoban's fancy, Kai felt Lisa finally met a real adversary. "Is it... Ms. Jennie?"

Jennie was gorgeous and bold. Mr. Manoban might not resist if she was truly determined to woo him.

Lisa glanced at Kai. His lips curled up in a faint smile. "Mmm."

Kai took a deep breath.

His voice was cool. "It's only been a few days since Ms. Jennie started wooing you, and you agreed just like that?" Where did your backbone go?

Lisa replied, "I would have agreed, eventually. Why wait?"

The earlier he agreed, the earlier he could enjoy the benefits. Lisa couldn't be bothered to explain this concept to Kai.

Lisa's honesty completely stunned Kai.

That's right. Since Ms. Jennie would have him eventually, why not just lay down now and enjoy?

Kai was struck speechless. He was huddled in his seat as he brooded over some things when Lisa's cell phone suddenly vibrated. It was a WeChat message. He then realized that Lisa's cell phone had been vibrating more than often. Also, he would immediately take it out to look every time it vibrated.

[ Jennie: Brother Lili, my mother asked me to bring you back home for a meal tomorrow. ]

[ Jennie: She said that she wanted to size you up and see if you are suitable for me. ]

'Size me up?'

Lisa was not at all afraid at the thought of having to face his future mother-in-law's scrutiny tomorrow.

As Lisa fiddled with his cell phone, he thought, 'There's nothing bad about me at all. I have a car and a house. My parents are both dead. I don't have any ambiguous relationship with anybody else. There is no gossip about me. I am the perfect suitor!'

...

The next day, Lisa promptly arrived at the hospital at 7:40 a.m.

Jennie had already changed clothes when he arrived at the ward. Since she was wearing a neck brace, it was not convenient for her to put on a dress. Hence, Jennie wore a deep purple v-neck silk shirt paired with a white A-line skirt.

By the time Lisa arrived, Jennie was sitting by the side of the bed holding up a mirror with her left hand and using an eyeliner with her right hand. Lisa stood at the door, looking on with interest at his girlfriend putting on makeup.

Was this the responsibility of being a famous influencer? She had to put makeup on even when she was being discharged from the hospital in a neck brace?

Jennie heard Lisa's footsteps. After finishing her eyeliner, she turned gracefully and waved at him. "Brother Lili, look. What do you think of the line on my eyes?"

Lisa had no idea what lined eyes should look like, but he still walked over.

Standing in front of Jennie, he lowered his head to stare at her.
