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

Chapter 291: Yeji's Return (2)

Outside the airport, after they loaded the luggage, Jennie drove while the siblings sat in the back.

Jennie rolled steadily out of the carpark. The Manoban residence had called to check if they had fetched her. Yeji answered the phone and spoke for a while before hanging up.

"Right, Bro, previously I told Bro Moonbyul to get me a driving license. Has he done it? I heard that in the past two years, it's been quite hard to get a driving license. The new rules have reduced in integrity, but I'm lazy to take the exams."

Yeji saw Jennie drive skillfully up front and immediately remembered about her driving license.

Lisa who was browsing on his tablet then looked up at her. He thought about it and asked Jennie who was driving, "Where did I ask you to keep it the other day?"

"It's in the second drawer on the left of your work desk. I've also helped you keep your cardholder. I'll get it for you tomorrow, Ah Shi!" Jennie was quick to get used to the term of endearment.

Yeji nodded and slowly took the sunglasses off to reveal her face. Her scar looked even clearer in the dim space. When Jennie unexpectedly looked through the rearview mirror, her long eyelashes fluttered a little. Although she looked quite gentle, that scar...

It ruined her beauty...

"I'll go over to Maple Residence tomorrow. You don't have to send it around. Mmm... And about my work..." Yeji spoke as she turned to Lisa again.

"Let your sis-in-law arrange it. We still need someone for the entertainment club at Imperial Sky Entertainment City. Previously, it was Ryujin handling it. I'm letting him handle the development of Movie City and you'll be the perfect substitute. Rest for a few days first, then let your sis-in-law organize things for you. She's more well-versed with matters there," Lisa calmly answered, yet there was a light that shifted in his still eyes as he looked at Yeji.

Yeji's gaze darkened in that instant too. She sighed and rubbed her temples. "Mmm, I'll go along with your arrangements then. Just don't let me idle around."

The instant Yeji finished, Jennie smiled and answered her, "You probably won't be free for long. The club's just opened for a short while. A lot of things aren't on track yet. I was going to get an experienced person to manage it for a while, and then let you handle it when everything's on course. Your brother says you're pretty adept at this, so the best person to handle this would be you."

When she heard this, Yeji shrugged and shot a side glance at the expressionless Lisa. "Sufficiently and reasonably utilizing resources. That's so like my brother. I'm used to it as well. I don't need much rest. Arrange for me to go to work the day after tomorrow. I've rested for a few days earlier when I was there, so I'm not that tired. Just give me a day to adjust tomorrow. There isn't much jetlag to get over anyway."

Yeji was also a workaholic. She was a DJ. In fact, her work of handling the club turned her days and nights upside down, so the time difference here worked out well for her.

"As you wish. If you don't want to stay in the old residence, I did leave you a villa on Ryujin's side. You can redecorate it according to the Mediterranean style that you like so much. Ryujin will be overseeing it, so it can probably fit your fancy. Do you want to move over and see how it goes?" Lisa responded softly, his line of sight never leaving the tablet in front of him.

Once Lisa said that, Yeji instantly fell silent again. Her lowered gaze seemed complicated. Then, she suddenly turned to look out the window and did not answer.

The considerably harmonious atmosphere in the car instantly vanished, and gloominess hung in the narrow space, filling it with a suffocating stillness.

Jennie did not say anything either. She glanced at the two people behind from time to time through the rearview mirror. She saw that Lisa was expressionless as always while Yeji looked down. She seemed rather lonely, paired with that scar. She actually looked a little...

Jennie silently averted her gaze and continued to focus on driving. She wanted to say something, yet she did not know how she could break the ice.

After a pregnant pause, she suddenly heard Yeji sigh softly, her clear voice colored with a sorrow that she had endured, "Brother, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I hope that you can stay out of whatever's between him and I. Once some things have happened, they can never return to the way it was before. Why do you have to care about it so much?"

"Yes, we can't return to how it was before, but I know very well what you're really thinking. Ryujin has never given up on you. You should know this better than anyone else." Yeji had just finished when Lisa's calm voice came through. His eyes that were deep as the ocean suddenly flashed with a cold light as he looked at Yeji.

Startled, the gleam in Yeji's eyes twinkled. She could not help but put her hand to her forehead and sigh deeply. She then turned to look out the window again, without uttering another word.

"Go visit Lingtian and Aunty tomorrow. You've been abroad for the past few years. Every year, Ryujin returns to mourn and offer prayers to them. Yesterday, I noticed that he was at Lingyuan Cemetery, but he didn't go up. I think he wanted to wait for you," said Lisa softly as he looked at her.

A mocking, bitter smile suddenly flashed at the corner of her lips. She put her sunglasses on again and muttered coldly, "What's there to mourn about? If they're dead, they're dead..."

"Yeji!"

Upon Yeji's brash attitude, Lisa immediately frowned. His gaze held a gleam of sternness as he silently stared at her.

"I'm just laying the facts out." Yeji lowered her voice now as she just replied with that single sentence.

Jennie could vaguely understand something. She thought that it should be about Lingtian. When she noticed the iciness between them, she spoke after some thought, "Ah Shi, is there anything you need? There's a supermarket up front."

Yeji then eased a little and looked at Jennie, shaking her head. "No, thanks. Everything should be prepared back home."

...

The mood was still a little awkward, and the stifled air remained all the way until they reached the Manoban residence. The joy of reuniting with the whole family flushed away the bitterness.

Inside the Manoban residence, Hae Sook and Chittip were pretty much done preparing dinner. When they saw Yeji, everyone's faces shone with rare happiness.

Hae Sook pulled at Yeji and started to nag, her eyes filled with deep concern. "It's marvelous that you're back! Rest for a while and just let your brother arrange everything. What's so great about a girl who keeps running abroad? You don't even have anyone to take care of you when you're sick. You are the one who ends up suffering."
