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

Chapter 292: Yeji's Return (3)

Yeji smiled. She sat down near Hae Sook and responded, "When Brother first returned, I wanted to come back with him, but my matters over there weren't settled yet, so I had to stay a while longer."

"It's time you came back. Your grandmother and I have retired. We've been idle and you shouldn't rush to get to work too. Accompany us for a few days. Your grandmother's missed you for a long time." The person who spoke was Do Kyung.

"I've already told Sis-in-law to arrange for some work for me the day after tomorrow. I've been relaxing for the past few days over there, so I've rested enough. I'll accompany the two of you a lot more after this. Don't worry, Grandfather and Grandmother!"

Yeji shrugged and beamed. "I'll go to the kitchen to see what delicious things Mother has cooked."

Yeji was about to get up, yet she had not taken a step when someone at the door called out, startling her. "Hello, Master Ryujin!" She subconsciously turned to look at the door, and indeed, Ryujin who was dressed in a black, well-ironed suit was walking in as he greeted the servants.

Maybe it was because he noticed Yeji's gaze that Ryujin instantly glanced up at her too. Their eyes met and it was as if the air suddenly froze.

Despite her shock, she eased back after a while. Ryujin had regained his senses and said softly, "Everyone, come out to take a picture. The Master and Missus are already waiting outside."

Hae Sook and Do Kyung wanted to have a family picture. After all, it had been quite a few years since the whole family gathered, and Jennie had just joined the family, so a photograph of the whole family was very much needed.

"Okay, coming!"

"Let's go take a picture!"

Hae Sook and the rest beamed and stood up as they pulled Yeji to go out.

At the moment, on the dark green lawn of the Manoban residence's front yard, the servants had already prepared a row of stools. Lisa was standing underneath a tree on the side and flipping through the document that Ryujin had just delivered while Jennie stood by his side.

When Jennie saw him frown, she did not steal a look and just asked in concern, "Is it about Movie City?"

Lisa slowly closed the document and handed it to her, raising her brows and staring at him in shock. Her eyes flickered with a dazzling gleam. They sparkled incisively.

Lisa sighed, his extraordinarily handsome face revealing a rare smile as he chortled. "The company's matters are no secret to you. In fact, this isn't related to the company either."

As Jennie listened, she felt her heart warm although she did not take the document. She could not help but chuckle softly. "Then, what about things apart from company matters?"

When he heard this, Lisa shot her a side look. This little girl seemed to be trying to trap him a lot recently.

Noticing how she seemed to suddenly turn stiff, he suddenly reached out and put his arm around her. He leaned over and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. "I'm waiting for you to get to know me better."

Startled, Jennie slowly looked up at him and was about to say something when she suddenly felt a flash before them.

She was dazed for a moment, then she turned to see Hae Sook and the rest were grinning as they watched them. When she thought about what just happened, Jennie felt her face turn hot. Her delicate fair face could not suppress the blush as she turned away shyly and glared at him.

"Bro, Sis-in-law, don't just hide aside and display your affections to each other. Come over and join the picture!" Yeji winked at them, then put on her sunglasses and smirked.

Hae Sook, Do Kyung and the rest sat down on the seats in front. Chittip and Marco sat too. With Ryujin, Yeji, the butler, and all of the Manoban residence servants, there were close to 30 people altogether. In one look, you could see that the lawn was filled with people.

Lisa then smiled and released his long arms around her shoulders. He tugged her to walk over and stood on the side while he looked straight at the camera in a relaxed and calm posture with his arms around her. Jennie smiled gently, silently going along with it.

After the photographer started counting, there were several sounds of the shutter, then the family photo was done.

At this moment, the sky was about to turn dark and the background looked a little dull.

The dinner was rather harmonious. Itt was clear that everyone doted on Yeji, yet Jennie did not fail to notice that Ryujin, who was made to sit beside Yeji, seemed absent-minded. His gaze fell onto Yeji from time to time. His intense gaze kept jumping about and Jennie could tell that something was going on.

Lisa and Jennie did not stay over at the Manoban residence. She could vaguely tell that he did not seem to quite like staying at the old residence.

At that moment, the car was speeding back to Maple Residence, with him in the driver's seat.

She sat silently beside him for a long time before she suddenly turned to him to ask, "Does Ryujin like Yeji?"

He turned to her and said calmly, "Is it that obvious?"

Jennie nodded, muttering, "I can see that Ryujin looks at her in a different way. Anyone can tell..."

"You could even tell just from his gaze?" He chuckled.

"The way he looked at Yeji was just like how Father looks at Mother, so..." Jennie said softly, unable to help a smile from spreading across her face. "Do you ever realize that even though Father and Mother usually look quite imposing, I keep finding the way they interact to be very magical. To say that they have mutual respect in their marriage seems to be very appropriate."

As he listened, Lisa's expression eased too. "Father is a very steady and practical person. Back then, Mother fancied Father because of his refined charisma, his humorous speech, and his versatile abilities. I heard that back then, Father was once Prince Charming to Mother. You know how Mother's like too. Only Father can make her surrender. Perhaps, this is the key to maintaining the relationship between them."

"Prince Charming to her? No wonder I keep feeling like they... Naeyon told me that all women hope that the man they like will be someone that they or a lot of people can look up to..." She muttered softly.

"Someone you can look up to? Your friend really has thought it through. She definitely has the potential to be a relationship consultant," Lisa replied with a chuckle.

Jennie nodded. "I said this to her before this too... but, what actually happened between Ryujin and Yeji? I can tell that Ryujin really likes Yeji while Yeji... It doesn't look as simple as it does on the surface. In fact, during dinner, Grandfather and Grandmother keep intentionally mentioning the two of them together..."
