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

Chapter 332: Back To West Park (3)

Jennie slowly turned her head to look up at the sky which had darkened. She then nodded. "Mmm, I'll go home then. See you tomorrow."

"Okay," Hyunbin answered in a lowered voice.

Jennie did not say anything anymore. She just turned to open her car door and get in.

In the evening, when the husband and wife reached the Shen residence, Ye-Jin was just about done preparing dinner. Yong-Gun had also returned rather early too.

Lisa only discussed the wedding matters with Yong-Gun and Ye-Jin after the meal. However, Jennie did not know what they talked about. She went to her room to pack her things. She picked a few books and was planning to bring them back to Maple Residence.

When she was done and went downstairs, they were finishing up the discussion. They sat on the sofa leisurely and drank tea while they chatted idly. In fact, Jennie noticed that Yong-Gun seemed to be rather interested in the South River project, having learned more about it through Lisa. It appeared that he was interested to collaborate.

When she sent the couple out, Ye-Jin suddenly said to Jennie, "If you have time, go back and visit him."

"Mother..." Jennie muttered softly.

"We've done all that we should, all just to live with a clear conscience. Just ignore all the idle gossip. If you've done it, other people will be able to see it. Go home and rest this weekend. You've been looking better recently," said Ye-Jin indistinctly with a smile.

Jennie subconsciously touched her little face as her rosebud pink lips pursed gently. She smiled at Ye-Jin. "I've been doing a lot of those things that are good for my health."

"Eat more. Your body is quite weak. Once you're better, you should have a child. You're already 27. In a few more years, you'll be at an advanced maternal age. Don't worry about the trouble. It's best to have two of them. Anything else can be discussed. Plus, their childhood will be less lonely."

Ye-Jin unexpectedly rattled on a list of advice to Jennie. As she spoke, her beautiful eyes flickered with a gentle ray of light as if she was reminiscing something. The corners of her lips curled up. "Back then, your father and I wanted to give you a younger brother or sister, but he was worried that my body wouldn't be able to handle it, so I only had you..."

Jennie quietly listened and did not say anything. For some reason, as she listened to Ye-Jin say all of this, her heart felt heavy.

Perhaps it was fortunate that they did not have another one. Such suffering was enough for her to go through alone, so why would she let a younger brother or sister suffer too?

...

On the way back, in the front passenger seat, Jennie did not say anything. Her mind kept flashing with the intertwining faces of Kim Jiyang, Hyunbin, and Ye-Jin. Their words kept echoing in her ears.

Lisa, who had been focused on driving, did not disturb her. Instead, he let her have some peace and quiet.

As she pondered, she soon fell asleep and did not even know that they had reached home until Lisa came to open the door and was about to carry her down. She woke up with a start and got down from the car by herself.

They had just shut the door when the sound of car honking came from behind. Jennie turned her head subconsciously and saw that it was Haruto and the rest. They were probably bringing the prepared gifts over.

"Master, Missus, I hope you're having a good night!" Haruto got down from the car and greeted them. "Master, the items are prepared."

"Just put them into the car," Lisa said, then tossed his car keys to him. Haruto accurately caught them.

"Okay, Master!"

Then, he immediately ordered the two bodyguards in black suits to move the things from one car to the other.

Haruto hesitated and suddenly said softly, "Right, Master, I have some news..."

"Speak," Lisa calmly replied.

Haruto subconsciously looked at Jennie, then continued, "Krystal went to Yueying this afternoon. She went with Kai, in fact. The Vice President of Kim Group, Jisoo, went over too. The three of them just went to Pearl Lake for dinner and Krystal is getting familiar with Yueying's affairs. She's straight up taking on the role as CEO of Yueying."

When Lisa heard this, his eyes dimmed. Jennie turned to look at him and vaguely caught a flash of cold light that went past his eyes.

Naturally, hearing such news, Jennie's expression turned rigid too. When he saw this, he reached out to put an arm around her shoulders and chuckled. "What's wrong? Are you exceptionally unhappy?"

Jennie's long eyelashes fluttered for a few moments and she sighed, "Why do I feel like Krystal and I are like cat and mouse?"

Lisa's handsome brows raised up. He looked at her in bemusement and his eyes were filled with admiration as he said gladly, "Missus, your comparison is extremely fitting! Krystal's a smart mouse while you're a dumb cat! Every time the cat catches the mouse, they keep thinking about adding some seasoning to enjoy happily. Unexpectedly the mouse escapes every time..."

"What kind of analysis is that? But, to be honest, don't you think most people in the world are like me? The relationship between stepmother and stepsister is always like a cat and mouse. Are we just naturally-born enemies?"

"Human relationships need to be managed too. Do you think it's all so simple? Okay, let's go home. It won't take too long before that position is yours," Lisa spoke rather nonchalantly and confidently.

...

The next day, the Kim family were at West Park.

Hyunbin did not go out as he always did. Usually, whether it was a rest day or not, he would not be home. When Chaerin saw him around, she was shocked.

A few days ago, she had briefly discussed Krystal and Kai's marriage matters with Huang Ziyao. It was hard to meet him, so she wanted to chat a little, yet she had just walked to the door when Hyunbin, who had just finished his call inside, walked out.

Chaerin stopped in her steps.

"Hyunbin..." Chaerin softly called out for Hyunbin.

Hyunbin turned around and closed the door. He looked indifferently at Chaerin, calm and distant as always. "What is it?"

"Later, the Han family and Krystal will be coming back for lunch. At the same, we want to discuss Kai and Krystal's wedding. My father has finally persuaded Elder Han. The Kim family hasn't had a happy occassion for a long time. Now that there is one, we have to make it grand! What do you think?"

As Chaerin spoke, her eyes swelled with anticipation and she looked at Hyunbin silently.

However, Hyunbin just frowned. The people from the Han family were coming over? Kai and Krystal?

What about Jennie and Lisa? Would they not feel uncomfortable?

As he pondered about this, Hyunbin's expression darkened and his features sank.
