The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 2

Chapter 290: Yeji's Return (1)

Upon being enlightened by Naeyon, Jennie felt much better.

She found a book from the study room to pass some time while he busied himself with reviewing data from the New York branch office and talk on the phone with the people there. He spoke fluent English.

Jennie vaguely paid attention to his conversation. It sounded like a secretary was being moved over, then she recalled that previously when Ryujin had been transferred, he said that the branch office would send an assistant over. She seemed to have asked him about this before.

When he hung up, she closed the book in her hand and put it back onto the shelf. She walked to his side picked up a glass of water to drink her voice was still vaguely hoarse. "Are you planning to hire a man or a woman as your secretary?"

He put his phone aside, then reached around her waist and chuckled. "Haruto's alright. I don't need one for now. Whether it's a man or a woman, they're the same to me."

She shot him a glance of disagreement, pulled open the drawer and took her own phone out. "How can it be the same? Don't you know that office romance has always been a hot topic?"

"Who'd dare to think of the great Director Kim's Mr. Manoban? I think she's too tired of living!"

When she heard this, she smiled and shrugged mischievously. She looked at the time on her phone. It was already 3 p.m. in the afternoon.

"Tidy up and get ready to leave. It's already 3 p.m. It'll be just right if we go now."

...

Maple Residence was not too far to the airport with the highway. When they reached the airport, it was 4 p.m. on the dot. The husband and wife parked outside and made their way to the entrance of the airport.

There were not many people at the airport departure gate, so they could see very clearly from the outside.

The husband and wife had just stood there for a short while when Lisa's phone rang. It was Yeji telling them that she was about to come out.

"Yeji studied and worked part-time in France. She's been there for quite a few years now. She managed the night clubs for the branch over there. Besides being quite competent, she's also considered an experienced DJ. Previously, she was rebellious like my aunt. She's changed quite a bit in recent years. Later, when you meet her, don't be too shocked. She's a pretty great girl, just as straightforward as you and pretty silly too..."

When they were waiting, Lisa did his best to describe Yeji to Jennie, yet she could vaguely pick up some sorrow in his voice although his expression gave nothing away.

Jennie raised her brows and shot him a glance. She was about to say something when there was a commotion ahead. They looked up and saw that tourists had begun to walk over.

A stream of people quickly rushed up toward them. Jennie watched from afar. She subconsciously turned to look at the man beside her, yet he was just staring at a certain direction ahead. A bright flash of silver-gray greeted their sight.

With a petite and slender figure, she had trendy dark purple hair that went past her shoulders and a black hat worn tilted on her head. She wore silver-gray androgynous pants and a coat. Inside, she wore a long, white blouse and she had on a pair of sneakers. Her skin was as white as jade, and she donned huge sunglasses that covered almost her whole face. She also had earphones on as she strolled with a trolley case in one hand, and the other in her pocket.

While Jennie was checking her out, the girl had also seen them. She casually shrugged at them and then walked over in huge strides.

"Bro!"

Yeji stopped in front of Lisa and put her earphones away. She looked at Lisa before turning her gaze to the side and stopped abruptly on Jennie.

"Mmm. This is your sis-in-law, Jennie. She's Yeji." Lisa nodded as he introduced plainly.

The instant Lisa finished, Yeji examined Jennie for quite a while through her lenses. She looked up and down several times before slowly lifting her sunglasses.

Yeji's sunglasses had just been taken off when Jennie's eyes darkened while she still examined her.

Unexpectedly, on Yeji's delicate face was a scar that crossed from her right forehead all the way to her cheek. It was a very long scar. Even though the wound seemed to have faded from surgery, it still looked vaguely scary.

From the outline of her face, she should be a stunning girl, but with that scar on her face, she looked...

Her eyes were bright. Jennie seemed to be able to see the stillness from the grind she had been through all those years. She looked very peaceful.

Jennie took a few more glances at her and suddenly felt pity for her. Perhaps, it was because of the introduction Lisa had given her earlier.

No wonder every time Yeji was mentioned, Lisa's eyes would reveal an odd emotion. It must be because...

Moments after that, Yeji flashed a friendly smile at Jennie, then put on her sunglasses. Her voice was melodious, but she only spoke to Lisa, "Bro, I think I know why you haven't fancied other girls before this. So, it turns out that you like this type? Mmm... A beauty with a classic charisma... Exquisitely hipster! Bro, your taste is so unique!"

Yeji did not hide and immediately told Lisa her first impression of Jennie. As she said this, there was also a teasing smile on the corner of her lips. "At first, when I got Grandmother's call, I didn't quite believe it. I wanted to immediately come home to see which divinity my brother has fancied, but since you're willing to marry her and she received the confidence of the family, I thought that you must be a pretty great person, Sis-in-law!"

"Hello, Sis-in-law! I'm Yeji. It's our first time meeting today. Please watch over me after this!"

As Yeji spoke, her gaze turned to Jennie. She hurled a hand out sincerely to Jennie. The few rings she wore on her fingers flickered in the brilliant light.

When she heard Yeji say this, Jennie was confused.

A few seconds later, she slowly reached out her hand and gently shook Yeji's equally slender hand. Her beautiful face revealed a sincere smile. "Hello, just call me Jennie."

Yeji smiled gladly, a faint curve appearing on the corner of her pink lips. "I can call you that in private, but etiquette still needs to be observed. You're my sis-in-law. You can call me Ah Shi."

Jennie smiled and nodded. She had quite a good impression of Yeji.

Lisa took Yeji's trolley and put his other hand around Jennie's shoulders. "Okay, let's go home first. Grandmother and the rest are anxiously waiting. They've prepared food and drinks to welcome you home. Spend the next two days getting over your jetlag. The day after tomorrow, Moonbyul and the rest want to meet up."
