Not expecting them to really know each other, Song Mino was slightly shocked. He hurriedly asked Song Kang, "How is that person?"

Song Kang had only met Lisa twice. The first time was by chance, and the other time was at an official business meeting. That man called Lisa had attended the meeting with Kai. Although he was Kai's subordinate, Kai didn't treat him like an ordinary subordinate.

Song Kang also couldn't guess Lisa's true identity, but his intuition told him that this man called Lisa was not as mediocre as others thought.

Although Song Kang wasn't familiar with Jennie, they had met several times. Though Jennie didn't cling to the rich and powerful, she had a proud and arrogant personality. How could a man she liked be a nobody?

Song Kang could tell that Song Mino was not convinced. He frowned and warned Song Mino. "Idiot, don't provoke Lisa. Be careful not to get yourself in trouble."

"Ha..." Song Mino pretended not to hear him.

Meanwhile, Jennie went back to her room to dry her hair, after ending Nancy's call.

She sat by the bed and just couldn't fall asleep. As if they had telepathy, her WeChat suddenly lit up. Someone had sent a message. Jennie opened it and saw that it was Lisa. He had sent her a video.

Jennie opened the video.

Holding his cell phone, Lisa pointed the camera at the dazzling luxury goods stores in the extravagant departmental store. His deep, melodious voice rang out. "Baby Nini, do you have anything you want? Make a list with me. I'll buy it for you."

This was the first time Lisa took the time to shop during a work trip. After all, he already had a family and shouldn't return home empty-handed. Lisa didn't expect Jennie to reply either. After all, 8 pm at his location was 3 am at Wangdong City.

Kai said that all girls liked bags, especially beautiful girls like Jennie who pursued fashion. Lisa planned to pick a few nice-looking bags for her. He didn't know what kind of bags Jennie liked, but it was definitely the right choice to buy the best-selling ones in the store.

Little did he know that Jennie was still awake.

Jennie directly gave Lisa a video call. Lisa had just entered a store, when he heard the video call request.

He found it strange. Isn't Jennie asleep?

Lisa accepted the video.

Jennie leaned against the head of the bed. The lights were on in the room and she looked very drowsy. She called out softly, "Brother Lili."

Lisa frowned as he looked at Jennie's expression on the phone. "Did you not sleep or did you wake up?" He decided that after he returned, he would let Jennie memorize and copy the Manoban Family residence rules a hundred times so that she could get used to sleeping and waking up early.

Jennie answered, "Yes, but I dreamed of you again. I woke up feeling empty, lonely, and hot. I couldn't fall asleep."

Lisa instinctively said, "Why is it empty, lonely and hot? Shouldn't it be empty, lonely, and cold?" He thought Jennie had said something wrong.

Jennie shot him a coquettish look and said, "I miss you so I feel hot, understand?"

Lisa was speechless.

He instinctively looked left and right. After confirming that there were no Chinese around and that no one could understand him, the old man's agitated heart calmed down. "Don't seduce me." This is too cruel.

Jennie sighed. Her face fell as she said listlessly, "I had a nightmare."

Lisa picked up a bag, and was about to show it to Jennie when he heard this. He put down the bag and walked out of the store. He found a less crowded spot and stood there. Lisa studied Jennie's face carefully and realized that she looked slightly pale.

"What did you dream of?" Lisa sounded very concerned.

Jennie's heart warmed. She chuckled. "I dreamt of what I kept thinking about in the day. It's just a small fuss over nothing."

"What happened? Tell me."

After a moment of silence, Jennie told Lisa about her nightmare. "Nancy came to look for me tonight and told me some truthful words. Anyway, it wasn't anything heartwarming." She gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "She got drunk tonight and slept on our sofa."

"In the middle of the night, I had a dream. I dreamed that Nancy had drugged my drink. I woke up in pain at night and actually saw Nancy digging at my heart. I only realized that I was dreaming when I woke up." Jennie recalled that dream and still felt a lingering fear.

"When I got up and went downstairs to look for Nancy, I realized that Nancy had left without even saying goodbye. I'm really acting like once bitten twice shy, am I very useless?" Jennie was embarrassed to let Lisa know that she was so timid, just staying in the same house as Nancy scared her to death.

After hearing her story, Lisa didn't tease her. He said in a cajoling tone, "Baby Nini, I'll buy you a bag. Can you sleep early?"

Jennie raised her brows. "Bag?"

Actually, as a socialite, she would never mind having too many bags. But thinking of Old Master Manoban and Lisa's lifestyle, Jennie hesitated again.

Old Master Manoban was obviously a meritorious hero, but after retirement, he went home to farm and never asked about official matters again. Lisa was obviously wealthy, but he stayed in a duplex and drove a Volvo to help those who really needed help.

A truly wealthy person was never rich in terms of money. Instead, they were rich in terms of spirit. Jennie thought of how she had chased after luxury brands in the past and felt ashamed.

She wanted to be like Old Master Manoban, someone with a heart of gold and silver.

"Forget it, I don't lack bags." After thinking for a moment, Jennie said, "Brother Lili, can you bring me a beautiful stone? In the future, whenever you go on a work trip to a new place, bring me back a beautiful stone."

Lisa felt that this present was too shabby and it belittled Jennie. He said, "Change it."

However, Jennie said, "The gift might be small, but it's the meaning behind it that matters. How about this, you carve the word 'Baby Nini' on every stone. I can keep it forever." Every stone could be kept until the end of time.

Jennie hoped that Baby Nini could also act impudently in Lisa's heart for the rest of her life. This had nothing to do with love, but possessiveness instead. Jennie was trying to defend herself.

Lisa saw that Jennie didn't seem to be joking and agreed.

After chatting with Lisa for a while more, Jennie completely relaxed. She hung up the video call, laid down on the bed, thought for a moment, rolled over to the side where Lisa usually laid down, and fell asleep not long after.

Lisa returned to the hotel alone.

After showering, he sat by the bed in his pajamas and opened his laptop to play a video. If Jennie was here, she would definitely realize that this video was monitoring Lisa's master bedroom!

The video that Lisa was watching was a surveillance footage from 11pm to 3am that night. In the footage, Jennie was sound asleep under the thin blanket. Lisa dragged the progress bar until 2.40am, when he suddenly sat up straight.
