✔Every Vicious Woman Needs a Loyal Man [Taennie Adaption]

chapter 24

Not everyone was comfortable with maintaining status quo. For some people, another meaning of contentment was that they were not enterprising.
As an ambitious person, how could you be contented?
Kim Namjoon was not a person who was willing to be contented, and he was fighting for more his whole life.
If you talk about what was the most contented thing for him so far, then it would be making Jennie fall for him.
There was no woman in the world that he couldn't get. He was like a hunter lying in wait in the jungle. Although he was quiet and not moving, his trap had already been set earlier. All he had to do was wait for the prey to be hooked.
Whether it was Lin Fei or Jennie, they slowly fell into his carefully arranged trap, step by step. Their every mood, and every change of mind, was within his control.
They probably didn't know that all of this was what he deliberately wanted. He loved this feeling of when everyone was drunk and only he was sober. Standing on a high platform, looking down on these stupid women from God's angle; even when he was dreaming, he could awaken with laughter.
Jennie falling for him was an accident, but it was a beautiful accident. Then, what he had to do was to let this accident continue.
Some people may say that he was too stupid and did not know to seize the opportunity to fully capture this woman.
No, the ones who say that he was stupid were, in fact, stupid. Such a woman should be strung along in his hands; not letting her get it, yet not letting her lose it. In this world, the most unstoppable love was one that you couldn't get.
Kim Namjoon was very self-aware. He knew that what Jennie fell for, was only an image that she imagined. Therefore, he never got close, and the distance created an illusionary beauty, and also implied a loss.
Moreover, the most important thing was that only by stringing along this woman, could he then make another person unable to let go completely.
Have to say that, men understood men the best. Kim Namjoon had thoroughly understood Taehyung's mentality. If he really made his move towards Jennie, then Taehyung will either give up in despair, or cut off ties. The former was too cheap on Taehyung, and the latter would cause both sides to suffer.
Therefore, it was the best choice to keep stringing Jennie along and make Taehyung suffer but unable to let go completely.
Moreover, Taehyung knew his mentality exactly and was even more unable to let go.
It was a pity that Taehyung was too concerned about Jennie, so even if he knew the purpose of Kim Namjoon doing this, he was not willing to let Jennie be in pain. He could only keep it in his heart. Furthermore, according to Jennie's resolute attitude, she would probably think that Taehyung was sowing discord? How interesting.
Taehyung, you have beaten me in everything, but only lost because of a woman.
The Kim family were foreign businessmen who made a fortune in real estate in this city. Therefore, local businessmen could not stand the Kim family. In the first place, if they wanted to develop and expand, it should also be done by their own people. Where was there any room for outsiders to share a piece of the cake? Kim Namjoon thought that that was simply a fallacy. This bunch of people were short-sighted, and didn't know how to seize business opportunities, yet they blamed others? What kind of logic was this!
When Kim Namjoon was a child, he could never find an answer. He clearly treated those people very well, but in the end, he was always isolated. Later, he figured out the reason and felt very disgusted with the local businessmen.
From young, Kim Namjoon was compared with Taehyung and those group of people, comparing their strengths against his weaknesses. How could Kim Namjoon be convinced? Living in the shadows of those people, Kim Namjoon naturally looked upon Taehyung and those group of people with hatred.
Among them, whom he hated the most was Taehyung, who was always self-righteous and had always considered everyone else beneath him.
Now, with an opportunity to make Taehyung suffer, how could Kim Namjoon give up.
Everything developed as expected, and Jennie was trapped in his hands and could not escape.
However, not long ago, Jennie suddenly changed, and he was caught off guard. But, he had already expected this day and thought about the countermeasures. Eventually, this woman will not be able to escape from his hands.
He did not go and pester her, but he made other arrangements.
He believed that with his understanding of women, Jennie was just showing a little temper, and her purpose was only to test his intentions.
In the full bloom of the fireworks, he knelt on the ground covered with roses and pleaded with her: "Jennie, please give me a chance to protect you forever."
He revealed a confident smile. He knew the answer without even listening.
---------------------------------------
Jennie held onto Taehyung's hand and walked slowly down the road of the countryside.
At the beginning of July, the Park family's clothing company held a large-scale design competition. The huge sum of prize money made countless people flock to the competition. As an assistant to the design department head, Jennie was naturally requisitioned to do labor.
For the whole half a month, she was so busy till her feet hardly stood steadily on the ground. She looked at design drafts until she wanted to vomit. The small fats on her that was originally grown by Taehyung was shrunk quickly, and her fleshy chin became a sharp chin, making Taehyung feel so sorry for her.
After the busy period, the dense Jennie finally realized that she seemed to have deserted Taehyung and felt a bit guilty. She specially took a few days off and the two of them went to the holiday village outside the city to enjoy a world for themselves.
The deserted Taehyung was naturally very happy. Unfortunately, Ruan Si Nan learnt of this news, and forcefully changed their two-people world to a many-people world, angering Taehyung.
On this day, as usual after eating dinner, the few of them walked along the river to digest their food.
Ruan Si Nan and the others were not so extreme and only followed behind from a distance, leaving space for the young couple.
In recent years, the city had developed rapidly. Although they have realized that the environment was important and had begun to make the environment greener, but after all, it has lost a natural atmosphere. Breathing in the countryside's smell of mud and grass and listening to the sounds of the insects in the grass, Jennie felt that her state of mind was very peaceful. She said to Taehyung: "Staying here feels so comfortable, I almost don't feel like going back".
Taehyung smiled and said: "Didn't you just despise the food for being bad to eat?"
Jennie pounded him: "Can't you just agree with me!"
"Okay, then let's stay here for a few more days." Taehyung really complied.
Jennie pouted: "No we can't, I only took three days off. Plus, the weekend, it's only five days".
Taehyung suggested: "Then when you have time next time, I will accompany you to come here again".
"Okay." Im Yan smiled and nodded.
As Jennie walked, she swung her hand that was held by Taehyung, thoroughly enjoying herself.
After walking another stretch, she saw a faint light on the river surface. Jennie went closer to see and saw a few delicate paper lanterns floating on the river. The wick should be a light bulb, and the colors were all different. Floating on the river, it looked very beautiful.
Jennie pulled Taehyung along and quickly walked up towards the upstream of the river. She was very curious and wondered who would set off so many lighted lanterns onto the river.
The more they went up, the more paper lanterns they could see.
Going up further, she saw the opposite side of the river filled with lit candles. After seeing the words formed by the candles, Jennie was in a daze, because the words formed by the candles consisted of two letters, one symbol and one Chinese character. The first letter was I, the third was U, in the middle was a heart shape and inside it was a "Jennie" word. Jennie was stunned and she covered her mouth as she looked at Taehyung: "Did you make this?"
The look she had, had a little bit of surprise, and a little expectation. Although he did not want her to be disappointed, ultimately, Taehyung said regretfully: "It's not me".
Jennie wrinkled her small nose and looked behind her. She found that they had already lost sight of Ruan Si Nan and their group of people, so she smiled: "It must be Nan Gua {pumpkin} and Dong Dong playing with us". Only those two liked to fool around."
Taehyung responded with a sound ambiguously, not knowing if he was agreeing or disagreeing with her.
The two continued to walk along the river, there were paper lanterns on the river, and there were candles on the opposite side. They were beautiful and dazzling. Jennie kind of wished that it was Taehyung who did it already, but since Taehyung denied it, it must not be him. So, Jennie continuously rebuked him and said that he was not romantic at all. Therefore, Taehyung conveniently pulled out a wild flower from the ground and gave it to her. Jennie chased him for a round of beating but did not throw away the wild flower.
When they walked to the end and saw Kim Namjoon standing on the bridge, Jennie should have been surprised, but her heart was very calm.
Taehyung looked at her from the side. Jennie smiled at him, then broke away from his hand and walked to the bridge.
Both sides of the wooden fence of the wooden bridge was filled with pink candles and there were various colorful paper lanterns floating on the river. The words of confession on the river bank were formed by candles. Walking on the wooden platform laid with a thick layer of roses, it was like the most romantic confession in her dreams, beautiful and unreal.
When she walked to the front of Kim Jennie, he held a bunch of colored calla lilies, meaning "eternal", and knelt on a single knee in front of her. At the same time, countless fireworks burst in the sky.
In the midst of the splendidness, he said as if swearing an oath: "Jennie, please give me a chance to protect you forever".
In this situation, Jennie couldn't help but cover her mouth and tears fell.
She waited for so many years, but yet what she waited for at the end was her death. Now, this was all placed so simply and easily in front of her, really, how ironic. Kim Namjoon's friends were across the river bank and incited: "Lisa, quick promise Kim Namjoon."
"Promise him, Jennie."
He smiled at her and waited for a reply.
Jennie wiped her tears and revealed a smile. When Kim Namjoon thought she was going to agree, Jennue asked: "Kim Namjoon, why?"
Why did she chase for so many years and did not get results, and now she has given up, but he chased over to her so easily? He certainly does not love her, then why?
"Jennie, I finally figured out my mind during this time. I can't lose you, because I love you."
"What about Lin Fei?"
"Jennie, don't worry, I will tell her clearly."
The cost, she reckoned, was to let Lei Fei die, Jennie lifted her lips in mockery. As expected, this man was really fickle. Jennie looked behind. Taehyung stood under the bridge and looking at him, his complexion was pale as shone by the candlelight. Seeing her look over, he revealed a thin smile. This smile made Jennie's heart cannot help but to ache. Turning around, Jennie received that bouquet of calla lilies, and before Kim Namjoon could rejoice, she smashed them on his head. Then, she smiled and said: "What a shame, unfortunately, I don't like you anymore".
After that, she turned and left.
Jennie walked to the front of Taehyung and stuffed her hand in Taehyung's hand. While holding Jennie's hand tightly, Taehyung used his other hand to gently wipe off the remaining tears on her face.
Kim Namjoon looked blankly on as the two-people left hand in hand. She threw away his carefully prepared bouquet, but she held a stalk of vulgar wildflower, that did not even have any flower language to it, tightly in her hand.
Kim Namjoon's expression was as if the sky had fallen. He couldn't understand what exactly went wrong.
"Taehyung, I think it's so strange, why will Kim Namjoon confess to me?"
"Probably, he really found that he liked you."
"That's definitely not it. He, that kind of selfish person, won't truly like anyone." Jennie retorted disgustedly.
Taehyung just smiled and said nothing.
The truth was actually very simple, just because of jealousy.
However, Jennie did not need to know all that.
He should be glad that Kim Namjoon's confession was too late and be thankful that Jennie was willing to turn around.
This time, this man will really be out of their lives.
Moreover, he will never let him have a chance to come back.
