"What?" Kai stared at her in disbelief. "What did you just say?"
"I said let's cancel the wedding. There's no need for us to hurt and use each other anymore. Besides, isn't that what you truly wanted?" Jennie refused him straightforwardly and even mentioned what his heart's true desire leaned toward.
Kai felt choked up hearing those words from her mouth. Though he didn't like Jennie, he still had his pride and dignity as a man. Being rejected twice by the woman who looked at him so affectionately just a few months ago then, turning cold to him soon after, Kai felt like he was stepped all over.
"Jennie... Stop saying nonsense! The engagement between us was made by our parents. You can't just decide to cancel it just because you're being immature!"
"Immature?" Jennie asked in an extremely calm tone, "Do you think what you're doing right now isn't being immature, Kai?"
"What's wrong with me trying to get you to think clearly when you're being too reckless with your decision!" Kai stepped forward and glared at her. "Even if you want to cancel the wedding, do you think I will agree to it? Do you think your parents will let you humiliate the kim family?"
Kai didn't want to let go of Jennie. Without mentioning his lack of feelings for her, she was still the daughter of the kim family and currently, the heiress to her grandfather's business empire. He can't let her go just like this... He must tie her up to him!
"You must be doing this because of all the things you heard about me and Krystal!" Kai didn't believe that Jennie would suddenly have a change of heart and hate him. She must still be in love with him and was trying to play hard to get in order to have his attention.
Alright, he'll give her the attention she wanted the most!
Kai suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the building. Jennie was surprised by his action.
"Let go of me!" Jennie angrily scratched his hand that was tightly wrapped around her wrist. "What are you trying to do?!" She hissed at him.
"Doing what you really want!" Kai didn't tell her what he would do verbally. But Jennie already sensed that it must be something terrible... for example, forcing her to marry him.
Jennie didn't want him to create a commotion that would let everyone see her in this mess. And most importantly, she didn't want to be forced by him!
Her eyes turned extraordinarily icy and cursed Kai in her heart.
Without letting Kai get what he wanted, Jennie used all her strength to stop him and took her wrist back. When Kai noticed her resistance, he looked at her, but by the time his eyes landed on her face, a black shadow swung at him.
The next thing Kai knew was that a numbing pain was felt on his eyes. Jennie had punched him!
Stunned and speechless as well as dizzy by the pain he was feeling, Kai didn't react quickly as Jennie's anger still didn't disappear.
Staring coldly at him as if he had murdered her clan, Jennie icily said, "Kai... I never took you for someone who would force a woman to marry you! How shameless and reckless can you be? Or maybe that's how the Yang family teach their younger generation? On how to lord everyone else and think that everything in this world is within your palms?"
Without waiting for him to say anything, Jennie sent him another glare before turning around and left him groaning in pain. She vowed to make him regret crossing her first!
When Jennie pulled open the emergency exit door, an arm suddenly pulled her. Thinking that Kai had already recovered from the pain and was the one who pulled her, Jennie raised her hand again to score another hit.
But her hand was met with a palm, totally subduing her hand.
Breathing hard, Jennie looked up and saw Lisa's face. She was surprised for a moment.
"You..." her voice trailed as her hand was pulled and her entire body fell into his arms.
"Shh... It's alright. It's me." Lisa gently comforted her and let her slowly relax in his embrace. When she finally slowed down her breathing, he felt relieved.
It was the first time he saw her looking like she was frightened like a cat that pushed into a corner with its fur raised up and ready to claw at anyone who would strike at it. It looked adorable, but at the same time, Lisa was tremendously worried about her.
Lisa loosened his grip on her and raised her chin before planting a kiss on her lips. "Have you calmed down?"
Jennie hugged his waist and looked down, but his grip on her chin was tight and she was made to stare at him. "I'm sorry... I look like a mess right now."
Lisa shook his head. "No, you look beautiful even when you're angry."
Earlier, when she raised her hand and punched, Jennie knew she used a lot of her strength. Worried that she had hurt him, Jennie grabbed his hand that was gripping her chin and looked at it.
"Did I hurt you?" She knew how much force she applied into her punch.
As someone who had been trained by a master martial artist, her punch was too heavy for a normal person to take. Just look at Kai, just one punch and he was already down.
Seeing her worried expression, Lisa didn't know whether to laugh or not. However, he was also torn whether he should act as if it hurt or not and get her to take care of him.
At the end, Lisa was reluctant to make her sad and worried about him.
"I'm fine. My hands are alright and I can still carry you," as he said this, he already carried her in his arms and slowly walked to his car. The two of them looked incredibly sweet.
