Meng Linlang was chatting happily with Lisa after entering the house.
Jennie was impressed. As expected of his sweet tongue!
Look at her darling! How obedient of him to call her "Aunty" the moment he saw Meng Linlang.
Unlike someone...
Until now, she had yet to hear the word "Aunty" from him.
After a short chat, Meng Linlang dragged Jennie aside to talk to her in private.
Meng Linlang took Jennie's hand and asked in a serious tone, "Jennie, let me ask you how are the Manoban elders treating you?"
She was alright with Lisa now, but she could not put her trust in the two elders of the Manoban family.
Jennie was married to Lisa after all, so it was no longer just a matter of the both of them anymore. Jennie would need to face the whole Manoban family. If they treated her the same way as before, how could she continue living in the Manoban family?
She had gone through a lot of tough times to be alive now. She would never allow her to suffer again.
"They are treating me well," replied Jennie quickly.
Meng Linlang looked doubtful. "Really? You don't have to speak well for them."
Jennie said helplessly, "It's true. They invited me over to their place and talked to me. They apologized and have been treating me really well!"
Meng Linlang was slightly relieved when she saw Jennie's genuine expression. "That's good then. At least, they still have their conscience intact."
Jennie nodded. "Mmm, don't worry about it, Aunty!"
Meng Linlang's heart almost melted when Jennie called her "Aunty". She spoke gently, "Jennie, what's your plan for the future? About your career and family?"
Jennie gave it some thought. "I've thought about this before. I was prepared to retire after I woke up this time. I want to spend more time with Lisa and Leo because I've been busy working and had too little time with them. Lisa has been really supportive of me doing anything I want..."
Meng Linlang nodded. "Then? I heard from Keer and Rong that you're coming out of retirement."
"Mmm." Jennie replied, "Something happened because of me. The most troublesome part is settled for now. While I'm coming out of retirement, I'll make sure my workload isn't as much as before, so I'll be able to balance both my career and my family."
Meng Linlang looked satisfied. "That's great! I'm actually against you retiring completely. A woman needs to have her own career."
Meng Linlang finally brought up her largest concern. "Then, when are you having your wedding with Lisa? And when are you going to announce your relationship to the public? Don't blame me for being so concerned. It was a special situation before, but the marriage between you two was too rushed! Marriage is a huge milestone for a woman!"
Jennie was a little guilty. "Actually, shortly after I met Lisa, he already proposed to me. We've just been delaying it because of my career. Not publicizing it was also due to my work.
"But it's different now. My fanbase was still unstable when I just started out. News about a marriage might affect me a lot, so I wanted to wait until my career plan had settled down, then I'd be able to announce the news of my marriage. It shouldn't take too long.
"I want to be together with him officially too!"
Her darling had been waiting for this title for a very long time...
