Rebirth of the Film Empress' Beloved Wife [JenLisa Adaptation]

Chapter 55: Worrisome

At four in the afternoon, Lisa finished her work with the stylists and gave Jennie a call.

“Jennie, are you going to have dinner at home? I’m cooking tonight.”

“Where are you? Are you home yet?” Although the two worked in the same company, their commuting times were different due to the fact that their jobs were different. Not to mention, a good part of Lisa’s work was done outside of the company.

“I just finished my work, so I’m still at the company. Are you? Do you want to go home together?” she asked expectantly.

Although Jennie had agreed to let her pursue her, the truth was that aside from making more delicious food, she didn’t know what else she could do. She had already given Jennie her heart, but she was a beginner at pursuing.

Despite that, their relationship did undergo some changes. With her approval, Lisa became more confident in front of her. When conversing, she would ask Jennie more questions like the one she had just asked. Lisa was definitely not as cautious as before.

“See you in the parking lot.”

Jennie still had a lot of work to do, but that wasn’t anything new. Her workload had always been endless, and therefore, she decisively chose to get off work.

Naturally, they both had a car of their own, and just as Lisa was trying to decide which car they should take, Jennie arrived at the parking lot. Their cars were parked a good distance away from each other, but she was standing closer to Jennie's car. When she saw Jennie come in, she quietly put her car keys back into her trousers pocket.

“Let’s ride home together,” Lisa suggested.

“Okay.” She didn’t think much and got into her car. Lisa quickly sat down in the front passenger seat and patiently waited for the car to start moving, but it remained in place. She turned to look at Jennie and saw that she seemed to be thinking about something.

“What’s wrong?” she asked with concern.

“You drive.” Since Jennie's rebirth, a lot of her habits and preferences had changed. One example was that she no longer enjoyed driving, which was most likely due to that car accident she had in her past life.

“Alright.” Lisa naturally wouldn’t refuse. She immediately switched seats with her and happily drove home.

Leaving work with Jennie, driving Jennie's car, taking Jennie home… It was an unbelievably warm and wonderful feeling. A smile lit up her face as she drove.

The instant they entered the villa, they saw the little tortoise lounging on the living room sofa. It was lying on a big green tortoise doll, which created an adorable contrast of size. Lisa's smile grew bigger.

“Stupid tortoise.” Jennie walked over and flicked the tortoise with her finger. She thought about how busy she had been and noted how comfortable the little thing looked.

… She really didn’t like this tortoise.

When Lisa saw her flick the little tortoise, she somehow got the impression that Jennie was playing with it, like an indifferent girl teasing her silly pet. So cute… she really wanted to take a picture.

“Jennie, why don’t you take a picture with Cutie?” she asked as she shrugged out of her jacket and went to take a seat beside them.

Jennie raised an eyebrow and shot a slightly disgusted look at the tortoise before saying arrogantly, ”Who would want to take a picture with this stupid little thing?” She even reached out and flipped the tortoise over on its back as she spoke, satisfied by its clumsy flailing.

Once again taken by how cute she was acting, Lisa agreed indulgently, “It is a bit stupid, but it’s also pretty cute.”

The “stupid” tortoise tried to flip itself back over, but it could only spin around and around, appearing more and more stupid with every turn.

Later, they enjoyed a lavish dinner. Lisa spent nearly an hour preparing four dishes, soup, and two small plates of dessert. Jennie was extremely satisfied and ended up eating a little too much.

After the meal, she stood up and walked around the villa, but it did little to help alleviate her discomfort. Lisa finished cleaning up and left the kitchen. When she saw Jennie moving around, she suddenly thought of an idea.

”Want to take a walk outside?”

“Okay.” Jennie had just thought of that too.

It was their first time taking a walk together. The night was cold, but fortunately, they had both dressed appropriately. However, Lisa was a little disappointed by this. She wouldn’t be able to play out the classic scenario of removing her jacket and giving it to Jennie to warm her up…

Because they lived in a villa, there were no other people in the area. As they walked, they were shrouded in silence.

Lisa didn’t want Jennie to think she was a boring person, so she racked her brain for something to say, but she couldn’t think with the cool scent of Jennie's body filling her senses.

Meanwhile, Jennie was thinking about how dumb Lisa was.

There was such a good opportunity in front of her, but she wasn’t grabbing it. She didn’t even know to hold her hand! If she kept trying to chase her like this, how long was it going to take her to catch up?

She was very worried about Lisa, but it wouldn’t be appropriate to call her out. How could such a decisive woman cower like this?

Of course, she could take initiative for Lisa, but she believed that since she had given the woman a chance to pursue her, she shouldn’t take the initiative too often. If she did, then it wouldn’t be Lisa doing the chasing anymore, it would be her.

But still, she felt a bit dissatisfied.

This woman had clearly told her that she liked her and wanted to pursue her, but why hadn’t she made any moves? Aside from making extra food for her, there was nothing else. No dates, no gifts, no sweet talk, none of the stuff described in books. It really worried her.
