Only then did the people snap out of their respective dazes and left. The brief interlude was over.
While watching Leo eating his meal, Jennie studied Suzy and Minho. Suzy was talking in a low voice with Minho. Jennie frowned. She had discreetly planned to ask Xiao Jingyao to investigate Minho's background. Since she had asked him to stay, she had to know his background so that she could have some peace of mind.
Jennie had this thought in her mind. However, soon, she could not care much less because while she was thinking about it, a familiar silhouette slowly got close to the outlet entrance.
"The person over there..." The person looked like the one she had criticized without hesitation before. He was... Young Master Ye!
Jennie's entire body shuddered. She cussed herself for being an idiot. The person did not look like Young Master Ye. In fact, he clearly was Young Master Ye!
The moment Jennie recalled their experience in the restaurant that had not ended well, she wanted to scoop Leo up and left the place. However... she was late.
"Jennie, what a coincidence to see you here!" Seulgi had sharp eyes and immediately saw the mother-son pair sitting at a corner. He took the lead to greet them and thus, stopping Jennie's wicked hand from reaching out to Leo.
"Uncle Seul." Leo was quite happy when he heard Seulgi's voice. He looked up and waved his little hand at Seulgi.
"You're here too, Leo. How are you? Did you miss me?" Seulgi smiled as he walked over to the mother-son pair and spoke softly.
Leo nodded intensely and said softly, "I do!"
"Good boy!" Although Seulgi was talking to Leo, his gaze never averted from Jennie.
Looking at her son's happy face, Jennie heaved a sigh. She knew well that she could not avoid him. So, she looked up and smiled politely at Seulgi. She said, "Indeed, what a coincidence! Mr. Kang, Do you have a sweet tooth too?"
A hint of rejection was heard from Jennie's words. Knowing that Jennie was still mad with him because of the incident last time, the corners of Seulgi's lips curled upward to form a slightly bitter smile.
In fact, Seulgi's appearance had not been a mere coincidence. Ever since he was shot down by Jennie during the contract negotiation, Seulgi had thought of coming to her to offer his apologies.
Unfortunately, Jennie did not plan to give him an opportunity to do so. Whenever Seulgi made a call to Kim Enterprise, hoping that he could meet up with Jennie and discuss the contract, he was always rejected. In the end, the person was so frustrated by Seulgi's daily calls that he directly told him that Jennie did not plan to sign the contract with him. If there was nothing else, he hoped that Seulgi would not call again.
Only then did Seulgi realize the seriousness of the issue. At the same time, he also knew that he was literally helpless if Jennie did not want to meet him at all.
Seulgi did not block the entrance of Kim Enterprise anymore just to meet up with Jennie. If he were to do that again, he might anger Jennie just like last time.
Ever since the lesson he had learned last time, Seulgi noticed that he became warier about everything related to Jennie. He was afraid that if something went wrong again, she would have an even poorer impression of him.
Just because Seulgi cared about her, that was why he was so particular about everything related to her. It had been many years since Seulgi felt this way.
It had taken him great efforts to ask someone to check on Jennie and finally found out that apart from working in Kim Enterprise, she had her own pastry outlet, which she often came to check in on during her leisure hours.
Ever since then, Seulgi had been visiting this outlet every day. He ordered a cake, a cup of coffee, or a glass of fruit juice and each time, he stayed for the entire afternoon all because he wanted to bump into Jennie for once.
However, Jennie had been bothered by several idiots recently and was constantly caught up in trouble. It was only today that she could spare some time and took Leo out to visit the kindergarten and her outlet as well. Therefore, she ran into Seulgi.
Seulgi composed himself. He smiled faintly and said, "The pastries taste good. But, I don't buy them for myself. I buy them on my sister's behalf. She likes the pastries and cookies here. I happened to pass by here today, so I plan to buy some for her."
"You have a sister?" Jennie froze. If she remembered correctly, Seulgi was the youngest son in the Kang family, right? He seemed to have an older brother and an older sister, but he had never mentioned that he had any younger sister.
Seulgi seemed to know Jennie's thought, he smiled faintly and explained, "She's my cousin, not my biological sister."
Jennie was suddenly enlightened. "So, that's how it is."
Right after Jennie finished her words, she did not continue. The atmosphere between them turned awkward.
After some time, Seulgi faked a cough. He planned to seize the opportunity to explain the incident last time. "Jennie, about the incident last time, I..."
"Mr. Kang, you're here! Today's cookies are freshly baked from the oven, and they are still very warm. Would you be having the usual?" Shuangshuang abruptly appeared and interrupted Seulgi's words. Jennie was a little caught by surprise. "Do you come here very often?"
Seulgi was slightly stunned. He smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I come here quite frequently."
"Mr. Kang, I never thought you would so thoughtful for your cousin."
'If you want, I can be more thoughtful for you than anyone else,' Seulgi looked at Jennie and thought to himself.
Shuangshuang was also a little surprised when she heard their exchange. "Big Sister Jen, do you know each other?"
"Yes."
"No."
Seulgi and Jennie spoke at the same time. However, both of them gave different answers.
Upon hearing Jennie replied that she did not know him, a hint of upset darted across Seulgi 's eyes.
Jennie blurted out out of nervousness because she wanted to refute him. Right after she spoke, she sensed something was wrong.
"Do you, or do you not know each other?" Shuangshuang was confused by their answers. She looked back and forth between the two in a puzzle.
Jennie faked a cough and replied, "We've met each other a few times. It's all about business dealings."
"That means you two know each other!' Shuangshuang looked like she was not aware of the bizarreness between the two, or perhaps, she noticed but deliberately ignored it. She walked up to Jennie's side and said with a smile, "Big Sister Jen, Mr. Kang is our regular customer. He often comes here to contribute to our business. You see..."
With Shuangshuang's intervention, the atmosphere between the two was not as awkward as before.
Jennie understood the underlying meaning of Woo-hee's words. She cooperated with her and said, "Since he's our regular customer, give him a discount for all his goods." After all, he was bringing her business. What a waste if she did not earn from him.
Shuangshuang silently cast a glance at the two, "Alright, I'll pack for Mr. Kang now. You guys can take your time to chat."
As soon as Shuangshuang left, Jennie rose up and said to Seulgi, "It's already late. I have to go home now. Leo's grandpa and grandma are waiting for him to have lunch together at home."
