A smile crept across Lisa's face. It turned out that even strangers were also friendly. He had never noticed this before.

It seemed that he and Jennie had to hang out more often in the future.

He ordered some food and a cold snack for Jennie. Then he pushed it in front of her.

Jennie, who had been sweating profusely, was in a good mood when she saw the cold snack. She had just eaten hotpot, and she felt thirsty now. So she wanted to eat something cold.

When the hotpot was served, Lisa started to eat by himself. He seldom ate hotpot, but he was able to eat it in an orderly manner.

He was born with elegance, and there was an indescribable dignity in his every move. He was still calm and graceful while eating.

When Jennie raised her eyes to look at Lisa, she couldn't help but sigh softly and murmured, "HugeboyMino, you are a star with hundreds of millions of fans. But you are defeated by an ordinary man."

"What did you say?" Lisa keenly caught the name of another man in her words.

"I said you are more handsome than HugeboyMino" she replied with a smile.

"You mean, Mino?" This was the second time that he heard the name "HugeboyMino" from her.

"Yes." She nodded.

"Are you two close to each other?" He couldn't help but pry.

As he asked, the chopsticks with food in his hand also froze for a moment.

Jennie stretched out her chopsticks to help him put the tender beef into his bowl and said, "Yes, I've known him for more than ten years. Our relationship has been pretty good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped me out today."

She and Mino had known each other for more than ten years. Lisa had only known her for five years. And she said that she was always on good terms with Mino. So were they more intimate? A layer of solitude shrouded Lisa's body.

He was silent for a moment. It was a kind of silence that was very different from his usual silence.

"You and him..." He sat back for a few seconds to ponder. But he still couldn't find an appropriate way to ask her.

"We've met each other in the orphanage. Don't you think it's amazing?" Jennie laughed with a hint of carelessness. "After my mother passed away, my father married Chae-rin and brought her to our house with Krystal. Then my father sent me to an orphanage where I stayed for two years. It was only later that he decided to take me back home."

Lisa's heart tightened for no reason. Was she really sent to the orphanage by her biological father for two years? What kind of a father would do that?

Jennie was only in her early twenties now. She said that she had known Mino for more than ten years. This only meant that she was sent to an orphanage when she was a child. At such a young age, he had a happy and complete family. But she had to stay in the orphanage for a full two years.

How could her father be so cruel to her?

No wonder Ji-yong had always been siding with Chae-rin and Krystal. He was so unfair to Jennie.

Jennie was smiling brightly. There seemed to be no pain in her eyes anymore. But Lisa could feel the hidden pain in her heart.

"Jennie..." He put his dry and broad hand on the back of her hand. His voice was full of pity.

He swore that he would never let anyone bully her in the future.

No one had the right to bully his woman.

"It's okay. I am fine now." Jennie smiled brightly and continued, "When I was at home, I never concealed my aversion to Chae-rin and Krystal. But my only mistake was that I thought that my father would believe me no matter what happened. I always held that extravagant hope in my heart. But what happened proved that it was just all my illusion.

I was so stupid. How could I expect a man who sent his own daughter to the orphanage to please his wife to believe me without reservation?

Fortunately, I didn't suffer a lot in my two years in the orphanage. I even met many good friends."

Aside from Mino, she also met Jackson, Eun-ji , Daesung, and Hoony. Meeting those lovely friends was one of her fortunes in life.

When Jennie came to her senses, she realized that she had already said a lot of things. She seldom mentioned her past to others because she thought it was unnecessary.

Empathy was a rare quality. Not everyone had the ability to connect with other people's emotions.

But in front of Lisa, she unconsciously said those things. Everything seemed to come out of her mouth naturally.

Seeing that he was stunned, she covered her mouth and said, "What have I said? You will lose your appetite if you continue listening to these things. I'll just tell you a joke..."

"Jen Jen..." Lisa's voice was low but steady and powerful. He said slowly and affectionately, "You have a home now... and me. I will trust you without reservation, and I will believe in every choice you make."

The man sitting opposite her had deep obsidian-like eyes that could make people inexplicably attracted. He spoke slowly, and he looked so calm. So she couldn't dare to look into his eyes for too long. It was as if she was afraid of being sucked in.

Moreover, the words he said directly hit her heart, giving her a feeling that feathers were brushing it.

He said and did that. No matter what she did, he believed her even if the whole world doubted her.

Jennie was mesmerized by Lisa's gaze.

He was like a magnet, attracting her fiercely. She pinched her palm hard to wake herself up.

'Oh my God! This man... He is beyond my imagination. No, I can't go on like this,' she thought inwardly.

She rubbed her face, wondering why she had said those words to him just now. It had been over ten years. She didn't care about it anymore, but she still told him about it.

Seeing that Jennie was uncomfortable, Lisa let go of her hand and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to eat something more?"

"Yes!" Jennie nodded her head vigorously as if it was a way to restore her composure.

After eating, she finally forgot the embarrassment she felt just now.

She and Lisa went home with so many shopping bags. As soon as they entered the house, Luca rushed to her and hugged her thigh.

He said in a sweet voice, "Little cutie Jen Jen, I didn't accompany you last night. Don't be angry, okay? I was busy with social engagement, so I came back a little late."

Luca wanted to apologize last night. But when he came back, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep quickly. When he woke up this morning, Jennie had already left for work. He was so upset and spent the whole day wondering if he made her unhappy.
