I'm Secretly Married To a Big Shot [JENLISA] (1)

121-122

10 o'clock at night.

The huge field was practically empty.

Two petite girls ran around the perimeter.

After three rounds, even Jennie, who was rather fit for a girl, was panting hard as she took a seat.

Sweat rolled down her forehead in huge beads.

Their hair and clothes were completely soaked in sweat.

"Baby, y-you shouldn't have... come with me."

Rosé tried to speak while panting.

She was lying on the ground, unable to move.

Jennie lay down beside her and wiped some sweat off her own face, smiling.

"You wouldn't have ended up in such a conflict with them if you weren't standing up for me. I was the cause of all these, how could I leave you to do this on your own?"

"Moreover, I haven't had a good run in a long time. This doesn't feel so bad."

"Hahaha, it does feel pretty good."

They lay on the turf for a while as they caught their breaths.

It was only when their breathing slowed and regulated did they sit back up.

"Beep." Jennie's cell phone rang out.

She took her cell phone out of her bag and saw that Lisa had sent her a message.

Lisa: [Have you shifted to another room? How's the double-bedder room?]

Jennie tapped away at her phone screen: [Not yet.]

Lisa replied instantly: [Why not?]

Jennie thought for a bit before saying: [Something happened, so it's delayed.]

Lisa: [What is it?]

Jennie saw his reply and hesitated about telling him.

Before she came to a decision, someone grabbed her cell phone off her hand.

"Prince Charming, Jennie was bullied. Come and stand up for her!" Rosé recorded a voice message reply on her cell phone.

"Rosie, return it to me." Jennie reached for the cell phone helplessly.

Rosé sent the message before handing it back to her. She looked at Jennie seriously.

"Jennie, you have such an amazing boyfriend. Use him when you need to! We weren't in the wrong today, but we had to bear the consequences. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. They started this!"

"Did you not see their expressions just now? They were so smug."

Lisa called Jennie the moment she got her cell phone back.

Jennie was speechless.

He must have listened to the voice message already.

She side-eyed Rosé while receiving the call.

"Someone bullied you?" The man on the other end of the line sounded a little cold and dangerous.

"Uhh..."

Jennie wasn't sure how to answer him.

She didn't actually feel like she was bullied.

After all, she was doing well against the two of them in the fight before the attendant came to break them up.

"Say something." The man got even more serious.

Jennie told the truth. "I fought with them, and they ended up a little worse off than me. So... I don't think I was really bullied."

"You really fought with someone?"

Jennie was speechless. She could tell that Lisa's tone wasn't too pleasant.

He sounded angry.

Jennie didn't know how to respond to him.

She couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Was he angry at her for fighting?

On that thought, she realized that ever since their marriage, she had been causing all sorts of problems.

And each time, he would have to clean up after her.

Was he thinking that she was too much of a trouble?

Was that why he was getting angry?

"Um, are you... angry?" Jennie bit her lip and asked apprehensively.

If he really was angry with her, she would understand it too.

She tried looking from his perspective. If she had married a troublesome wife, she would probably be annoyed too.

The man's voice got even colder. "We've only just been apart for a while and something so serious happened. Do you think I should be angry?"

Jennie tightened her grip around her cell phone. As she guessed, he was really finding her too much of a trouble.

"I'm sorry." She truly felt bad about it and apologized meekly.

"I didn't do it on purpose, I know..."

Before she finished her sentence, the man's voice cut her off.

"Baby, I don't mean to blame you at all. I'm angry because you've been bullied the moment I left. I wasn't there for you when someone was putting you down."

"I said that I'd protect you well and wouldn't let you be aggrieved or hurt. But I failed to do that."

Jennie's eyes widened in shock.

He was angry... but not because she was causing trouble.

It was because he wasn't protecting her well enough.

She felt all warm and fuzzy in her heart when she processed it.

"It has nothing to do with you," Jennie said tenderly.

"You can't possibly be by my side 24 hours a day, watching over me. And you wouldn't know what to expect after you leave me. How could you be blamed for this?"

"Moreover, I really wasn't bullied by anyone. I'm so good at fighting, I'm the one bullying others."

Jennie regretted her words the moment she uttered them.

The man on the line seemed to be smiling.

"Good at fighting, hm? Baby, did you use to fight a lot?"

Jennie was speechless. She accidentally revealed something.

After a short moment of silence, the man sighed.

"Baby, I really wish you could be by my side 24 hours a day. That way, I'll be able to see you every minute and every second. Otherwise, I can't feel at ease."

...........

The call ended.

Jennie could feel herself burning up at her cheeks as she thought about Lisa's final words on the call.

He murmured in that deep alluring voice: Baby, I want to hug and kiss you so bad. Hubby misses you so much without Baby here.

Her heart was going numb from that gentle voice.

"Baby, what did Prince Charming say to you? Why's your face so red?" Rosé smiled cheekily at her.

Jennie turned away and snapped. "Go find yourself a guy if you're so curious. You'll know, then."

"Hmph, forget it." Both of them got up after enough rest.

Rosé patted the dirt off her clothes.

"Rather than waste my time dating some average man, I might as well figure out how to earn big bucks. Besides money, I'm not interested in anything."
