Jennie's gaze followed Yong Gun's line of sight towards Lisa, yet she noticed that he remained calm and composed, standingneither servile nor overbearing. He simply allowed Yong Gun to stare, glare, and size him up.

"Are you Lisa Manoban? The grandson of those two old folks, Hae Sook and Do Kyung?" A while after, Yong Gun's aged and gloomy voice finally rang out, thickening the vaguely stifling and threatening vibe in the air quite a bit.

Jennie became even more nervous as she quickly went up and said, "Grandpa, this is our fault. We..."

"You're at fault? What did you do wrong?" Yong Gun's voice became even more stern. It was not at all like his usually loving, gentle self. She knew well that the matter this time had made him very upset. After some thought, she let go of Lisa's sleeve and walked towards Yong Gun. "Grandpa, it's our fault for getting married without informing you guys, but all of this was my idea..."

"Did I ask you? You stand aside. I'm asking him!" Yong Gun did not care and looked past Jennie, his sharp eyes falling onto Lisa again.

Lisa's expression was calm. He did not bat an eyelid as he sized Yong Gun up in response. His vigor did not lose out to Yong Gun's as he very coolly pulled Jennie over. Under Yong Gun's blade-sharp threatening gaze, he pulled Jennie to sit down.

"This was rather sudden. We've already received our marriage certificate, and now we're also a right and proper married couple. We don't want to explain too much. Grandpa, if you're unhappy, please come and talk to me. It has nothing to do with this silly one. I bewitched her into signing the marriage contract."

Lisa was the kind of person who was not eloquent at explaining. Being in the business circle for a long time now, he cared more about the outcome instead of the process.

His tone was deep and calm while his pitch-black eyes were filled with sincerity and a reserved manner. With his graceful and gentle demeanor, his composure amidst the tense situation unexpectedly made Yong Gun feel like he did not know how to vent his fury.

As he kept reflecting about it, Yong Gun angrily said, "Do we still exist to you two? Is marriage child's play? If it were not for your grandmother and the rest mentioning it, I'd still be in the dark right now."

"Grandpa, we were planning to go back to the Shen residence this weekend..." Jennie quickly tried to explain as she turned to look at Lisa. Her beautiful brows frowned slightly. "He's a very kind person. I just wanted to give myself a chance to start a new life."

Yong Gun's face sank. He fell silent for a while before he suddenly asked, "Why so sudden?"

His gaze went back and forth between Lisa and Jennie. When Hae Sook had called, he had told her not to trouble the children. Previously, he had also heard some things from the Kim family, so he knew about the news of Kai and Krsytal's engagement.

Even though Yong Gun did not pay much attention to the Kim family matters, he loved Jennie dearly. As for Jennie and Kai's situation, he more or less knewabout it.

As she listened, Jennie suddenly fell silent and the incidents that had happened replayed very clearly in her head again. From the way Sun Yeong looked like a bully making her sign those papers, Grandfather's cold figure by the window, Kai kneeling down to propose to Krsytal, and the way Sun Yeong had sent her right into Jisoo's arms...

As she thought about all of these, her beautiful face instantly turned pale. The wound on her shoulder that had already formed a scab seemed to begin vaguely heating up and hurting again.

Lisa suddenly turned to her. When he saw her pained expression, there was a flash in his eyes. "Because someone needs to assume responsibility for some things. At this point, I just want to be responsible for her. If it can make everyone more at ease, I'm willing to assume all responsibility."

While Jennie obviously understood the meaning of Lisa's words, Yong Gun did not. As he listened, his heart sank. He had very easily started to think otherwise, and his aged expression started to turn dark.

He stared at Lisa for quite a while before he said through gritted teeth, "How dare you bring this up? Can't you just hold it in? Wait till you've met the parents and settled marriage matters! Can't you young people just be as crazy as you wish after that?"

When Yong Gun said this, Jennie was startled and could not react immediately. She was stunned for a long while and did not understand what he meant. She subconsciously turned to look at Lisa. Noticing that Lisa's expression remained as usual and that there was a flash of clarity in his eyes, she wanted to ask something, yet Yong Gun's dissatisfied voice once again stuttered to ask, "You've got... news?"

Lisa's eyes very quickly blazed as he looked meaningfully to the dazed Jennie beside him and fell silent for a moment. He frankly answered, "I don't know. I'm worried that after we get the news, it'd be harder to explain, so we wanted to quickly get it done."

"You make it sound like you're so responsible. I'm a man too and I've been young and reckless but I wouldn't have made such a mistake!" Yong Gun looked irritatedly at Lisa.

While Lisa just looked at Yong Gun calmly, the two of them exchanged a look. It was a look that only could be understood between men.

Yong Gun glared at Lisa, then he turned his head the other way. "Hmph!"

Jennie reacted a little slowly as she looked at Yong Gun, then to the man beside her again. She did not know what they were talking about; they seemed to be speaking in code. She frowned for a while, then reached out to lightly touch Lisa's large hand, while he just lifted a hand to hold down her hand without even looking at her.

"Please, Grandpa, believe in my sincerity. Since I've married her, I will be completely responsible for her. Grandfather, Grandmother, and my parents admire Jennie very much. Now, we just hope to get Grandpa and Mother-in-law's affirmation," Lisa said in a deep and sincere voice.

"Grandpa, I sincerely wanted to marry him. It was also me who made him marry me immediately. We've been doing very well these past few days. I wasn't intentionally hiding it from you and you don't have to blame him. I'm the main culprit. He's just guilty by association." Jennie was worried that Yong Gun would say something that made things difficult for him, so she quickly said all of this. She did not know when she began to speak like Lisa.

"You're grown-up now. It's only been a few days and already you're defending him. Jennie, when did you mature?"

When Yong Gun saw the way Jennie was so protective over Lisa, he did feel slightly glad on the inside. Then, for some reason, he felt jealousy, regret, and at a loss.

With regards to Lisa, Yong Gun obviously knew him well. Back then, when Hae Sook had mentioned him, he had paid special attention to him.
