Jennie noticed Lisa's presence from the moment he entered. Because she had received the burden of the company from her grandmother at such a young age, she's always wrapped up in work, and always on edge. Her phone was never off, and she never entered a deep sleep.
Lisa's gentle and considerate actions made her want to remain asleep, for she didn't know how to react to being taken care of by a man; yet she also felt that to continue pretending to be asleep was inappropriate, she had to confront this situation sooner or later.
"Erm...... Did I wake you up?" Lisa returned to his senses and felt helpless. He felt that he was stealthy enough and didn't expect to wake her up.
Looking at Lisa silently, Jennie blinked and softly asked, "Jisoo should've asked you out, how is she?"
"What do you mean how?" Lisa was puzzled by how her first sentence was about Jisoo.
"She's in a bad mood today." Jennie replied.
"Of course it would be bad." Lisa sat on the stool on side of the bed with a smile, "After getting kidnapped, was she supposed to be in a good mood?"
"It's something else." Jennie replied with certainty.
Lisa wrinkled his eyebrows, and thought of the phone call Jisoo received while they were having dinner, "Is it regarding her family?"
"All I know is she has a family member coming, and she's in a bad mood."
"Indeed, she was in a bad mood, but it should be fine now." Lisa naturally wouldn't say that he embraced her in front of his wife, even if this icy lady doesn't care.
After Jennie replied with an "En" sound, she once again closed her eyes, which was a clear message that meant —— I want to sleep, you should leave.
Lisa bitterly smiled, he still had something to talk about, hence he said, "There's something else I need to tell you, which is also why I came. Don't get too agitated when you hear it, it's about Kim Woo Bin."
Jennie opened her eyes again, but she didn't speak a word, and just waited for Lisa to speak.
"He's gone mad, perhaps it's because he couldn't bear failing. He has entered a mental hospital." Lisa bluntly said.
Jennie's body clearly trembled, but she immediately turned her body away from Lisa, then said, "I got it, you may leave."
Lisa knew that she needed some time alone, so he left the room understandingly.

For the next few days, Lisa's life was tranquil and cozy, he continued to bring breakfast for the ladies in the office every morning.
After going through some ambiguous matters, he was now much closer to the three women, Nayeon, Tzuyu and Wendy. Occasionally teasing them and flirting with them till they coquettishly pout and hit him was of greatest pleasure to Lisa, other than his gaming career.
Knowing his place, Department Head Ma no longer harassed the ladies in the PR Department. According to Tzuyu, that old fella has already submitted his resignation letter to the board of directors and intends to retire after handing over his duties to somebody else.
Jisoo also returned to her usual work schedule, other than her original post, she also held the position of being the company's vice-chairman. Originally, there wasn't the position of a vice-chairman, because Jennie

was incredibly formidable and didn't need a vice-chairman or even an assistant.
However, once Jennie fell sick, many matters couldn't be concluded in the company. Therefore, Jennie issued a series of commands from the hospital, allowing the usual tasks to be decided by Jisoo, while the cold airport runway CEO's secretary Ningning assists.
Jisoo may be young, but many elders in the company were aware of her relationship with the previous CEO and the current CEO. Kim International could be considered as the private property of the Kim family, so Jennie's words always held enormous weight.
An interesting thing happened during all these occurrences. After discussion with fellow colleagues, many groups were formed to pay a visit to Jennie.
This was something beyond Lisa's expectations, because Jennie usually maintained a cold countenance with a look that says do not come near, practically no employee had dared to initiate a conversation with her. But unexpectedly, the moment Jennie was hospitalized, everybody fervently cared about visiting her.
In the PR Department, the ladies also prepared gifts that were meticulously selected. They sent various health and skincare products to the hospital, and even ordered a large bouquet of carnations.
One of the PR ladies even brought a camera with her to the hospital and took a photo of Jennie.
On this photo, without any makeup and under the bright lights, Jennie held a book in her hands, and looked at her employees with a limpid gaze. The attitude of a nonchalant beauty emitted from her bones made a bunch of female employees with tendencies to 'chase stars' shriek. They were incredibly envious that the CEO didn't need any makeup as her skin and face was so perfect, so much so that she may be prettier without makeup.
At this time, Lisa noticed something, beauties are always welcome, while beauties that issue paychecks are even more welcome!
Of course, other than the company's employees, many figures in Zhong Hai's business world took this opportunity to visit. Jennie, who had originally wanted to recuperate with a low-profile had to mentally prepare herself by drinking Chinese medicine while conversing with the smiling tigers that she usually tries to avoid.
As he needed to deliberately keep their husband-and-wife relationship a secret, the amount of time Lisa spent in the hospital drastically decreased. But right on the second week, as he sent new books to Jennie, Lisa ran into a visitor he didn't really want to meet.
The one who came to Jennie's ward, was someone who Lisa met twice, and who left unhappy memories, the police officer Bae Irene.
At that moment, Bae Irene was in casual clothes. She wore a white close-fitting short-sleeved Levi's T-shirt, causing her tall mountain range and slim waist seem more conspicuous. For her bottoms she wore dull blue denim shorts, below her long and fair legs with no excess flab was a pair of pink Nike shoes. She had neat short hair and a charming face that matched well with her tall and developed body. She didn't look a teeny bit like she had an identity of being the West Region Police Bureau Chief, and looked more like a well-developed housewife, a sexy city beauty.
When Bae Irene appeared at the room's door, Lisa suspected that he was seeing things, but when he then looked at the profound smile on Bae Irene beautiful face, Lisa was convinced he didn't see a ghost this night.
"A rare guest, Police Chief Bae has come." Lisa smiled and greeted.
"I know that you actually don't welcome me, but I'm here to see Jennie." Bae Irene glanced at Lisa, directly walked to Jennie's bedside and looked worriedly at her, "I told you not to work so hard, but you just wouldn't treasure yourself."
It was obvious Jennie recognized and was familiar with Irene, because she revealed a slight but rarely seen smile. Pointing at what was in Irene's hand, she asked, "Is that a present for me?"
In Irene's hand was a gift for a patient, but it wasn't fruits, wasn't flowers, and more so wasn't some thousand-year-old ginseng from the Baekdu mountains, or wild Yunnan lingzhi.
It was a box of glutinous rice balls.
"Yeah, I at least know you this well, you've always liked eating this since you were young, so I didn't bring anything else." Said Bae Irene, she then put the beautifully wrapped sesame glutinous rice balls onto the bedside table.
"Thanks." Jennie softly said.
Irene pouted, then pretended to be angry as she said, "There's no need for thanks, I didn't intend to come at all previously. You have no conscience, you didn't even inform me, your sister that you got married, being childhood friends was all in vain."
lowered her head and didn't make a sound, she chose to remain silent.
Irene seemed to understand her character, then minding her own business she said, "But I truly never expected, that the man you asked Lawyer Zhang to bring away that day would become your husband, when did you guys begin dating? Why was I totally in the dark?"
Jennie continued to lower her head in silence, the fact was she herself didn't know what to say.
Irene knew that there was no way to continue this topic, and helplessly pouted, "Fine, you've always been like this, keeping silent the moment you bump into a crucial question. There's one more thing I came here to tell you about, your grandpa says he misses you, and wants you to take good care of yourself."
Hearing the word "grandpa", Jennie abruptly raised her head and coldly said, "I don't need his concern, moreover I don't have a grandpa, I haven't since a long time ago.
"Actually, Grandpa Kim has his own difficulties......" Irene bitterly smiled and tried to explain.
"Joo Hyun don't talk about that anymore; I don't want to hear it Jennie turned her head away.
Lisa, who sat by the side listening to their conversation was rather baffled, Jennie had a grandpa. But why hasn't she spoken a word about him before? Moreover, she and Irene have known each other since they were young, so the two parties' relationship should be good. In addition, Irene even knew of matters regarding Jennie's grandpa, so it's obvious that Irene knew quite a lot of secret matters.
However, looking at Jennie's expression, it seemed like she doesn't like that grandpa of hers very much, rather, there was intense rejection. According to reason, after her grandma passed away and her father went insane, if this grandfather existed, he would be her only living kin, but why would she loathe him so much?
Seeing that Jennie was in a bad mood, Irene sighed. She could only drop the subject. She mentioned some of the greetings from the elders in her family, then got up to leave.
Noticing Lisa standing by the door, there was a glint in her eye as she said, "Jennie's husband, do you mind sending me out?"
"Erm......" I knew that it wouldn't be anything good. Lisa muttered inside, while there was a smile on his face as he said, "Of course, Bureau Chief Bae, please."
After Irene walked to the door, Lisa planned to find an excuse to slip away, but Irene called out to him, and got straight to the point as she said, "Lisa, I have something to ask you."
"Is Bureau Chief Bae inquiring a suspect?" Lisa bitterly smiled.
Irene wore a grave expression, she didn't seem to be making a joke, "So what if I am, that day, at Chen Dehai's house the Chen Residences, those things were done by you, right?"
"Chen Dehai? Chen Residences? What's that?" Naturally, Lisa immediately denied, and feigned ignorance.
"Don't play dumb, when you passed by that area that day, it was the same time as when the suspect left the scene. Furthermore, according to reports from our police insiders, that murderer's reported appearance is fundamentally the same as yours."
"Bureau Chief Bae, I don't have the slightest idea of what you're talking about." Lisa raised his hands, "There must be evidence before you speak, I'm a good citizen that follows the law."
Irene snorted then said, "Don't try to con me, it doesn't matter whether you admit to it or not, the day will come where I find proof and send you to jail. As for why you married Jennie, I will also investigate the truth. If you dare to do anything excessive to Jennie, look out for your head! Even if I don't punish you, if you harm Jennie, you will die without even knowing how you died!"
Lisa swallowed his saliva, smiled and slowly said, "There's no need to exaggerate so much, right? How can marrying a wife be so frightful, I admit that my wife is a little prettier than others', but is it my fault for being kind and honest?"
"Shameless." Irene glared at Lisa for a moment, then turned around and left in a jiffy.
Lisa breathed in a breath of relief, distressed about how to handle this beautiful lady officer. He slowly walked back into the ward, but the moment he entered, he saw an incomparably cute scene.
