Eunwoo’s face was red up to his ears as he struggled to pull his hand away.

But Lisa’s grip was as tight as an iron vise and Eunwoo’s hand was stuck.

Realizing that Eunwoo had scrunched up his face, Lisa asked in a concerned tone, “Mr. Cha, what’s the matter? Why are you grimacing? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

Lisa’s words made Eunwoo’s blood boil.

”Why are you not speaking? Mr. Cha, I am something of a medical practitioner myself. Why don’t I take a look at your condition?” Lisa offered flippantly.

”L-Let go of me!” Eunwoo roared in rage.

”Ah. Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Lisa acted like he had an epiphany and released his clutch.

Lisa’s sudden release caused Eunwoo’s body to lose balance. The taller man took several steps backwards in an attempt to stabilize himself. But he ended up plonking onto the ground, landing heavily on his backside.

”Mr. Cha, what’s going on? Are you alright?” Lisa pretended to be worried and came over to help him up.

Eunwoo shoved Lisa’s hand away and scolded, “Are you treating me like a fool?”

”Whoa. Mr. Cha, where did this even come from? I don’t understand what you are talking about,” Lisa noted with a smug.

”Why, you little!” Eunwoo gritted his teeth. He drew in a deep breath in an attempt to calm his nerves.

”I’m not gonna stoop to your level and argue with you.” Considering that Jennie was with them, Eunwoo replaced his angry expression with a gentle smile.

Lisa, too, did not want to bother bickering with the likes of Eunwoo. So, he took out his Aqua Rhyme Pill and presented it to Jennie.

”Miss Kim, we’ve known each other for some time already, yet I never had the opportunity to give you a present. This is my token of appreciation. I hope that you will accept it.” Lisa handed the box to Jennie.

Before Jennie accept the gift, Eunwoo could be heard jeering, “What’s with that shabby-looking box? Did you get it from the flea market? Judging from its appearance, it costs only a hundred dollars at most.”

”Nonsense!” Lisa shot Eunwoo a glare and continued, “I got this from the dollar store!”

Eunwoo snickered, “Wow. That’s really generous of you, Mr. Manoban. To think that you had the guts to give Miss Kim a tacky gift like that! Are you insulting her?”

”On the contrary, I like this.” Jennie stretched her hand to receive the gift box.

”Thanks a lot, Lisa. I really love it,” Jennie murmured as she grinned from ear to ear.

Eunwoo glowered angrily at the sight of Jennie’s unexpected happiness.

”Miss Kim, I brought you a gift as well,” Eunwoo declared in a supercilious tone.

”I heard rumors that you have been procuring medicinal herbs lately. After searching high and low in Chuzhou with my connections, I finally found a ginseng root that is over a hundred years old.” Eunwoo took out an exquisite gift box and handed it to Jennie.

Jennie took the gift box with an impassive look.

Upon seeing that, Eunwoo felt a little disappointed. But he was not a quitter. He asked, “Miss Kim, don’t you want to take a look at it?”
