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

193-194

"He's just a little bad-tempered, but it's not a bad person. He doesn't mean any harm to you, it's just his mood today, so..."

Chan was aware of the actual reason.

But it wasn't meant for Jennie to know.

Otherwise, Second Bro would skin him alive if he found out.

"It's alright." Jennie let out a magnanimous smile. "I don't mind it."

Chan was surprised to hear that. "Sis-in-law, you really don't mind it?"

Jennie modded. "Mm, we all have our bad days. I understand that."

That's what she said, but deep down she simply thought that she wasn't going to meet Ji yong much anyway.

It didn't matter whether he liked her or not.

"Thank you for understanding, Sis-in-law."

Chan already had a nice impression of Jennie when he saw her dimples earlier.

But now, he found that she wasn't just pretty, she was also a nice person.

If it wasn't for Nancy, Ji yong might find her a nice girl as well.

"I'll take my leave first then, instead of depriving Second Bro and Sis-in-law of your couple time."

Chan quickly glanced at Lisa but found that his expression was still rather awful.

He couldn't help but sigh a little.

It seemed like Fourth Bro really made Second Bro angry this time.

This... wasn't going to be easy to settle.

Chan's car was parked right opposite where they were. It was a flashy Lamborghini sports car.

Not too long later, a green sports car left the parking lot and sped out of the car park.

At the same time, Uncle Li had driven the black Rolls-Royce over.

He stopped the car and opened the door to the back seat for them.

"Young Master, Young Madam, please get on."

"Let's go."

Lisa grabbed Jennie's hand and led her in.

...

In the car.

Lisa said to Uncle Li, "Head straight to Lu Shan Gardens."

"Yes, Young Master."

Lisa then closed his eyes and rubbed his temple. He looked exhausted.

"Uh, Lisa..."

There were some things she didn't want to say with Chan around.

Now that there weren't outsiders anymore, Jennie felt a need to talk to him about it.

She felt some guilt about tonight.

Though she knew it wasn't really her fault.

But the fact remained that Lisa ended up being in conflict with his friends because of her.

Lisa opened his eyes slowly and looked at her.

"'Mm?"

The man's voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded especially alluring.

Jennie bit her lip and looked up at him a little apprehensively. "I-I'm sorry..."

Lisa was stunned by her words. "What do you have to be sorry about?"

"What happened tonight. It was because of me that you and your friends..."

"It has nothing to do with you." He cut her off.

"You don't have to apologize, you did nothing wrong."

"But..." Jennie sighed lightly.

"If it wasn't for me, you guys wouldn't have argued. I'm really sorry. If I had known that he didn't like me, I shouldn't have..."

"Shouldn't have done what? Shouldn't have come along with me?"

Lisa furrowed his brows and grabbed her hands.

He then pulled her into his arms and said, "Jennie, you're my wife and they are my best friends. I don't demand that they like you, but I need them to at least respect you. Otherwise, how am I to feel? If I don't let them know how angry I am this time, they'd only be more disrespectful to you in the future. I'd said that I won't let you feel aggrieved, so I'll hold myself to it. Fourth Bro knows that I care about you and value you, and he still dared to pull a long face at you. He wasn't just disrespecting you, but me as well. I had to teach him a lesson."

Jennie didn't quite know what to say.

She suddenly felt her heart pump faster.

He said he cared for her and valued her...

Whether or not he meant it, she had to admit that at this moment, she was touched.

Which woman wouldn't be?

Being able to feel that one's partner cared for them, valued them, and protected them in every way...

Especially when that partner was a man as outstanding as Lisa.

He was handsome and charismatic, with power and authority in his hands.

And yet, he treated her with such thoughtfulness.

If she could remain unfazed by all he had done, she wouldn't be human, she'd be divine!

But she wasn't.

So there definitely would be times she felt her heart flutter for him.

After all, a man like Lisa was too attractive.

After Lisa said that, he realized that Jennie was looking at him blankly.

She hadn't even blinked.

He held her chin up with his slender fingers and squinted.

"What are you looking at? Do you suddenly think your husband's especially handsome?"

Jennie nodded her head foolishly.

She then heard a jolly chuckle.

All the unhappiness she'd seen on the man's face had vanished. He was all smiles now.

"Since you find your husband especially handsome, why don't you let me hear you call me Hubby, hm?"

"Ah?"

Jennie blinked and snapped back to her senses when she saw his expectant eyes.

Then her cheeks started to burn as she stammered.

"W-Wait what? I didn't hear you clearly."

Ahhh.

How did she get so immersed by his handsomeness?

And he'd discovered it.

How awkward...

Jennie always felt like she wasn't the type of girl to swoon so easily.

In fact, no man had managed to make her swoon.

But... did she just expose that side of herself to Lisa?

It must have been because she hadn't been determined enough.

It was all this man's fault, for being too attractive.

"You didn't hear me clearly?" The man chuckled again.

"Mm, I'll repeat it then. Baby, let me hear you call me Hubby. We're already married and you haven't called me Hubby yet."

Her chin was still between his fingers, and her eyes were still on his face.

She felt as if her heart had been struck. It simply couldn't calm down.
