Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard || Taennie Adaptation

Chapter 130: Sealed With a Kiss

Jennie's eyes fired up. She did not respond.

Chanyeol had a mixed expression but nodded anyway, "I will do what I should do..."

"Jennie, I won't force you, but, think about it carefully..."

"No need to think. If we get exposed, I will take full responsibility. We are...inseparable," Jennie responded in a serious tone. Her voice was firm and did not contain a trace of doubt.

Momo looked at Jennie thoughtfully and smiled, "Then let's not worry about it anymore. By the way, have you guys seen the news about Hai Rui?" Momo poured them each a glass of red wine, "Two international superstars is a huge loss for Hai Rui."

Hearing the words 'Hai Rui', Jennie's expression became sad. All she could do was clink wine glasses with Momo, but she did not say a word.

"Jennie, in all honesty, have you ever considered joining Hai Rui?"

Nayeon wanted to laugh as she stood to the side, but she didn't dare. As if Jennie needs to go to Hai Rui! She is already the wife of Hai Rui's CEO and owns half of Taehyung's shares.

"Hai Rui is not a place that I can go to, just because I want to..." Jennie was aware of how strict Taehyung managed his business. A model like herself was common; she wasn't even worthy of mentioning.

"I've always wanted to go to Hai Rui...I want to...try out the role of the CEO's wife," Momo laughed. In reality, her words were 30% joke and 70% truth. It was just that, Taehyung was too hard to get close to; he never gave any woman a chance.

But, of course, they had no chance...

His wife was currently sitting right opposite Momo.

Jennie glanced at Nayeon, gesturing her not to reveal any emotions. Nayeon was annoyed as she stuck her tongue at her.

After their meeting with Momo, Chanyeol obediently escorted Jennie home, "Where do you live?"

"Hyatt Regency," Jennie replied. Seeing Chanyeol start up the car, she reiterated, "Don't forget what you promised me: You will not interfere with my private life."

"You don't need to put your guard up..." Chanyeol replied helplessly. "Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. Sehun and Yang Jing, on the other hand, aren't easy to deal with, so I will need some time to prepare."

"Those two have set up so many traps for our Jennie. Luckily, they haven't succeeded once," Nayeon exclaimed. "Do they think Jennie is easy to bully?"

This was exactly the reason Chanyeol admired Jennie. Even when surrounded by Yang Jing and Sehun, she was not suppressed. Instead, her popularity continued to rise.

"They owe me quite a lot..."

Jennie had heard about Chanyeol's relationship with Jihyo and was aware that he used to be close friends with Yang Jing. However, whatever happened between them, only they knew.

"Prepare yourself well for the Contract Signing Ceremony."

Jennie was the protagonist, so of course, she had to be well-prepared. Yang Jing had previously caused a commotion, so she wasn't going to let her get her way this time. As for Sehun...

...after what he did at the charity event and all the schemes he set up against her, she wasn't going to let him off easily.

After returning home and looking at the empty living room, Jennie was tempted to give Taehyung a phone call. But realizing it was 2am in the US, she didn't want to disturb him. In the end, Taehyung sent her a message first, "Are you home yet?"

Jennie's heart lit up as she replied quickly, "Did Nayeon tell you?"

"I was worried, so I made Nayeon report every little detail."

Jennie smiled as she held onto her phone and called Taehyung, "I saw the news about Hai Rui, have you made any progress?"

"The matter has been solved," Taehyung replied casually.

"When will you be back?"

"After I see a few more people," Taehyung sounded a bit tired.

"I miss you," Jennie was hesitant, but in the end, she gathered her courage and spoke with her heart.

Hearing these three words, Taehyung couldn't help but sit up in bed. He wanted so badly to wrap Jennie in his embrace. So, he didn't just think it. He immediately put his thought into action as he instructed Suga to help him book a flight and left the follow-up work for Asa to handle.

Taehyung had always dealt with matters quickly. After determining the value of the production crew for 'Deadly', he immediately negotiated with Asa, became the main source of funds for the film and took full control of the crew. Afterwards, he replaced the staff involved with the explosion, sent them a legal notice and demanded them to compensate for loss and injuries made to his actors.

After a busy day, he finally got some time to rest, but at that moment he received a phone call from Nayeon, "Big Boss, you are a real distraction to our Jennie..."

"Huh?" Taehyung didn't understand what she meant.

"Did you know Jennie's mind has been elsewhere ever since returning from the US? I asked if she was afraid of a second betrayal and do you know what she said?" Nayeon said proudly; it wasn't every day that she had the chance to tease the Big Boss.

"What did she say?"

"You should ask her yourself," Nayeon said playfully as she hung up the phone.

Taehyung bit his lip helplessly. Jennie's assistant really needed to be taught a lesson. In reality, he too was a bit distracted. Especially when Jennie wasn't by his side.

So, he picked up his phone again and sent her a message, "I will never hurt you, so...can you tell me what you told Nayeon?"

After seeing the message, Jennie was a bit confused. She remembered how she had told Nayeon she had fallen in love with Taehyung. Her face flushed red as she replied, "No, I can't."

"I feel we are thinking the same thing," Taehyung deliberately gave Jennie a chance to avoid answering him.

"What are you thinking?"

"I'll tell you when I get back. I might need to stay here for another week..."

Jennie's curiosity had been sparked. However, the thought of having to wait a whole week to see Taehyung again made her sad again.

Taehyung didn't explain anything. He gently convinced her to go to sleep. Jennie was extremely tired as she hugged Taehyung's pillow and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Chanyeol arrived to pick up Jennie. He had accepted the front cover shoot of a top-level magazine for her. However, as she headed downstairs, she heard the noise of the front door opening. In shock, she froze, thinking it was all a dream.

Taehyung put down his luggage and spread out his arms.

Jennie immediately leaped into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"I miss you, I like you, I...may possibly even, love you," Taehyung said as he kissed Jennie's forehead.

Hearing Taehyung's confession, Jennie was dumbfounded.

"I told you, I would tell you everything once I got back..."

Jennie pulled away from Taehyung's embrace; her eyes began to turn red. Even when she was betrayed by Baekhyun, she wasn't this emotional.

"Jennie, I will only say this once. Because from now on, I will express it through my actions. Let's seal it with a kiss. If you can feel my love, then let me know by giving me a kiss."

Jennie lowered her head and thought for a moment before lifting her head. Grabbing onto Taehyung's neck, she drew him in for a loving kiss...
