At this point, Jennie already said whatever she needed to say. It was up to Ha Jiwon to make the final decision, and there was nothing Jennie could do more.

"Today is my wedding day with Lisa. I'm going to go out for dinner with him tonight and have to get going." Jennie stood up and asked Ha Jiwon, "Mother, why don't I send you back first?"

Ha Jiwon shook her head in a daze. "You go ahead first. I'll sit here for a while more." Knowing that Ha Jiwon was in a foul mood, Jennie didn't dare to leave her alone for the fear of any accidents. Thus, she called the Lee family chauffeur and told him to come to the cafe to pick Ha Jiwon up at once.

After she had hung up, Jennie told Ha Jiwon, "I called the chauffeur. He'll come and pick you up within half an hour. Mother, you just wait here. I'll get going first."

Ha Jiwon solemnly nodded her head.

Jennie left the cafe. Long Yu, who was standing at the door watching a live-stream video, hurriedly switched off his phone. Jennie had a good hearing and heard the content of his live-stream video. After boarding the car, she asked, "You're watching Aoyu Number 1's live press conference?"

"Yup." Most men loved cars and Long Yu was no exception. Since he couldn't afford it, he could at least admire it.

Jennie asked, "The press conference hasn't ended?"

Long Yu replied, "It's almost ending already."

"How's the online audience reaction?"

Long Yu said, "Four words is enough to describe it." He intentionally paused for effect, waited for Jennie to look up curiously at him, and said, "Whole screen of damns."

Jennie couldn't help but smile. "Seems like it's rather well-received."

"But of course." Long Yu started the car and asked Jennie, "Miss Jennie, are we going home now or going elsewhere?"

Wanting to see Lisa, Jennie said, "Go to Crouching Dragon Building."

"Okay."

The Crouching Dragon Building was crowded that there were no parking lots available in the carpark. Jennie thought after the press conference for the new car ended, there would be free spaces, but after going a few rounds around the carpark, Long Yu still couldn't find a lot to park.

"Miss Jennie, why don't you alight first and I'll drive the car to the basement carpark at the business square?" Long Yu was getting impatient from driving in circles and had no choice but to trouble Jennie to alight first.

"Sure." Jennie alighted and found a shady position to stand. She whipped out her phone and sent Lisa a message to inform him to come down and meet her.

In the building, Kai and Lisa walked side by side through an arc-shaped corridor. The press conference had just ended not too long ago. The staff had merged the comments and messages from the online audience watching the live-stream video and sent them over to Kai.

Kai spent about ten minutes to finish reading the comments and messages. He shut down the iPad and said to Lisa beside him, "The press conference this time received much attention from the online audience. The total viewership of the press conference from various platforms had exceeded 5 million."

"Everyone's comments towards Aoyu Number 1 were all positive—they all looked forward to its launch. I think the sales for Aoyu Number 1 when it launches will definitely be astonishing."

Lisa nodded. This was already within his expectations.

After talking about work, Kai said, "Oh yes, M's general manager contacted me at the backstage just now to try to set up a meal with us." Not many people knew that Lisa was the boss behind M, only some. The top-management of M set up a dinner for them.

Lisa only went back to the office to patrol once every season and handed the daily operations to the general manager of M. After meeting Lisa, everyone wanted to get into his good books.

Lisa was about to agree when the phone against his thigh suddenly vibrated. "Give me a moment." Lisa whipped out his phone and saw Jennie's message. [ Brother Lili, are you done with work yet? I'm waiting for you at the square in front of the Crouching Dragon Building. ]

Lisa's brows raised slightly.

Jennie was around?

Lisa lifted his foot, changed his direction, and approached the window. He looked out and at the ground—there were many people at the square below, but he found Jennie easily.

Jennie was standing by the water fountain at the square, wearing an exaggerating hat to block off the sun. She was wearing a white lacy dress that exposed half of her nice shoulder. Although she was wearing a neck brace, she was still the most fashionable icon.

Noticing Lisa's movement, Kai also walked over and looked below the building. "What are you looking at?"

Wherever Jennie was, she was always the focus. Kai also had good eyesight and immediately saw Jennie, who was beside the water fountain.

"Isn't that Miss Jennie..." Kai wanted to comment on this but didn't know what to say. He made a face at Lisa, smiled, and teased him, "Miss Jennie is so aggressive in her pursuit. Mr. Manoban, will we be able to attend your and Miss Jennie's wedding at the end of the year?"

Lisa suddenly stretched out his left hand and lifted it before Kai.

Kai casually glanced and immediately saw the gold ring on Lisa's left ring finger.

He widened his eyes, and a word slipped out of his mouth—

"Damn!"

Lisa stuffed his left hand back into his pocket calmly. "Don't make a fuss."

Glancing at the stunned Kai, Lisa was in a good mood. He said, "As you can see, I got married this morning." Saying that, he patted Kai's shoulder in a friendly manner, and pretended to be solemn as he said, "Manager Jongin, you're also approaching your thirties soon—you should take charge of your love life."

Just because Lisa was a few years older than him, Kai always made fun of the fact that Lisa was single. But now that Lisa had turned the tables around and finally got rid of his single status by marrying someone, he finally turned the joke back on Kai.

Kai's lips twitched as he glanced at Lisa turning around and walking away in light steps, emitting an aura that seemed to say, 'I'm already married, singles please do not disturb.' Kai snapped out of his daze and shouted, "Are you still going to the dinner tonight?"

"Nope, gonna accompany my wife." Lisa lifted his left hand and waved it at Kai while back-facing him. Under the sunlight, that gold ring's glow was blinding.

The public display of affection made Kai slightly depressed.

...

The water fountain was in the shape of a crown. A little girl wearing a princess dress ignored her mother's screams, ducked under the fountain, and stood in the middle of the crown. She struck a princess pose, and said confidently, "How dare you not kneel upon seeing the princess!"

With a little girl staring at her, Jennie was speechless.

She simmered with laughter as she bowed slightly towards the little girl. "Your mighty highness, pleasant afternoon."

The little girl stared at Jennie's face and considered for a moment. She then seriously said, "You're pretty, so you don't have to greet me in the future."

Jennie couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When Lisa came over, he saw Jennie laughing and shaking her head. "What's so funny?"

Hearing Lisa's voice, Jennie turned around. She walked over, grabbed Lisa's hand to pull him to the water fountain. She pointed at that little girl, and complained pitifully, "Brother Lili, she bullied Nini."

Lisa was speechless.

That little girl looked at Lisa and then looked back at Jennie. She suddenly pouted, and ran to her mother crying and shouting, "Ah! Mother, that bad sister asked uncle to hit me!"
