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

123-124

"But..."

She suddenly smiled and said, "Things would be different if I can find a man as outstanding as Prince Charming. If that happens, I guess I could spend some time being in love. But the chances of it happening are too slim. So, I think it's best I remain single."

"Mm, our Rosie is so outstanding. If you don't find a good enough man, how could he be fitting for you?"

Jennie nodded.

"It's better to be single than to be with a man who isn't suitable."

Jennie felt that not many men were good enough for Rosé.

Rosé was beautiful. She was 1.70m in height and had a great figure.

She was the sort of beauty that stood out at first glance. She and Jennie were different sorts of women.

Jennie was more simple and elegant, like a little goddess.

Rosé was like a cheerful fairy.

One was a passive kind of beauty while the other seemed more active.

They were known as the "Beautiful
Duo" by some boys in school.

Moreover, Rosé was a very independent girl.

Her family wasn't very well-off, and even her three years of college fees were earned on her own.

Her appearance was outstanding, and many online stores engaged her as a model.

Most of the clothing styles she modeled sold very well.

Hence, she was rather known in that field and made pretty good money out of it.

Although she wasn't a celebrity, her earnings were better than most average people.

...........

After their rest, they headed back.

When they arrived at their door, they saw a silhouette rushing out.

Jennie and Rosé had a scare.

Before they saw the person's face, they heard a polite voice, "Student Kim, Student Park, you're finally back."

Jennie and Rosé had no idea what was going on.

Wasn't that... the counselor's voice?

Both of them looked up and saw a polite, apprehensive man standing before them.

Wasn't that their counselor?

He looked so much less stern and firm than before.

His hands were clasped together and he looked as if he was facing two superiors rather than students.

Jennie and Rosé exchanged looks of confusion.

What was going on?

Why was the counselor acting weird?

And did he just address them politely, as if they were his respected elders?

Before they figured out what was happening, the counselor suddenly took a step back and bowed towards them.

"Student Kim, Student Park, I was in the wrong previously. It wasn't right of me to punish you for others' wrongdoings. After my self-reflection, I've realized my mistake. I will never make such a mistake again, so please give me a chance to correct myself. Please forgive me."

With that, he bowed again at them.

Both of them remained silent and in shock.

What... was going on?!

Why was the counselor doing self-reflection and apologizing instead?

Seeing that they weren't reacting, the counselor panicked.

"Student Kim, Student Park, I've really realized my mistake!"

"If you aren't satisfied with my apology, I'll go and run three rounds around the field too. No, I'll run five!"

Jennie was slowly recovering from her shock.

She had a speculation.

She recalled the call she had with Lisa a while ago.

Could Lisa have done something to make the counselor so afraid?

It seemed like this was the only possibility.

The counselor was about to go to the field to run upon saying that.

Jennie hurriedly stopped him.

"Counselor, please wait. Rosie and I don't blame you for it. You don't have to apologize to us, much less run around the field."

In fact, she didn't think that the counselor did much wrong, considering his position.

He couldn't possibly let things go after a fight broke out in the dormitory.

A reflective essay and a few rounds around the field weren't considered severe punishments.

"Really?"

The counselor was stunned for a moment before a look of agitation overtook his face.

He grabbed Jennie's hand. "Student Kim, does this mean you've forgiven me?"

"Uhh..." Jennie quietly slipped her hand out.

"Counselor, like I said, you didn't do anything wrong. We were the ones in the wrong for fighting in the dormitory."

The counselor looked a little upset now. "Student Kim, you're not forgiving me?"

Jennie. "... No."

"Then why did you say that?"

Jennie had nothing more to say.

"... Alright, I forgive you."

It seemed like he wouldn't let her off until she said it explicitly.

She didn't know what Lisa had said to scare this man so badly.

"Really? Student Kim, you're really forgiving me?"

"... Yes, I forgive you."

"What about Student Park?"

Rosé's eyes twitched a little before she nodded.

"Mm, I forgive you too."

The counselor placed his hand on his chest as if he had just escaped from hell.

He was practically tearing up.

"Thank you for your magnanimity."
Jennie was speechless.

So was Rosé.

"Please hold on."

The counselor was now in a more relaxed mood as he walked into the dormitory bedroom.

Jennie heard him say to Bai Xiao and the rest, "What are you girls waiting for? Hurry and apologize to Student Kim and Student Park."

"Why should we." Bai Xiao was getting furious.

"Counselor, this is unfair! You already said that Rosé was the main culprit. Why is it suddenly our fault now?"

Zhang Yuwei sneered.

"Even the counselor apologized to them. Some people are just too good at this... depending on their man to bully their schoolmates and even their teachers."

"That's right, Counselor. Are you being threatened?! Why are you afraid? You should expose them!"

"Keep quiet!" The counselor got angry.

"Nobody threatened me, don't talk rot! Apologize when I tell you to!"

"I won't!" Bai Xiao clenched her teeth.

"I'm not afraid of their threats. Come at me!"

"I actually want to know what she's capable of doing if we don't apologize,"

Zhang Yuwei said coldly.

"She can make the school expel us if she wants. In any case, it's not as if she hasn't done this before."
