Naeyon took a deep breath and sighed. "I know. Aunt Son's incident had a huge impact on him as well as Krystal's drama, and now, the whole Chaerin scandal along with the death of your grandfather... It must've been tough for him. I'd probably have broken down if I were him taking all of these in alone."

"Father cares about Mother a lot. As for Mother's attitude towards him, she did feel his loneliness," Jennie mumbled quietly as she looked up. "Let's not talk about this. I'll go and see what Jeongyeon's cooking."

"I asked him to make some of your favorites. Come, let's go and take a look! But I bet this man isn't anywhere as good as your husband at home."

"As long as he's cooking, it's great!"

...

When Lisa arrived at Imperial Sky Entertainment City, Seulgi and Moonbyul were already waiting for him inside the room.

"What took you so long?" Moonbyul asked as he poured Lisa some wine.

"Jennie went to her friend's place and I sent her over." Lisa put his coat aside and then sat down beside Seulgi.

"Professional nanny now, huh? I've never seen you be this nice to us before. What a huge difference in treatment!" Moonbyul started teasing him.

"Moonbyul, how can you compare yourself with Jennie? She's his wife. Are you? You've always been complaining a lot. I suggest that you should get married as well. I thought you'd be the first to get married among us, and now Lisa has topped you!" Seulgi teased Moonbyul back. He lowered his body and told Lisa quietly, "Did you know that when I picked him up from his place just now, his father was telling him off to find someone to get married quickly? His family found him a lot of blind dates, stewardess, teachers, models, and more, yet he didn't like any of them. Don't you think his standards are too high? I think there are several that suit him! Elder Lee said he's complaining that their hair isn't long enough, that they don't have that gentleness of silky, long hair..." Seulgi could not help but laugh.

Lisa raised his brows and looked at Moonbyul with a grin.

"The stewardess is pretty good. Don't you like girls in uniform? The model is great too. She's got a nice body and is the only daughter..."

"Seulgi, if you say another word, I'll do this to you!" Before Seulgi could finish, Moonbyul picked up the knife and fork on the table and stabbed the salad viciously!

Seulgi backed away slightly as he exchanged glances with Lisa.

"I'm telling the truth here and just giving you a reminder. I'm being forced as well. My parents are arranging something for me soon. This is all Chen's fault. With you suddenly getting married, our parents are freaking out. They were never this desperate before. You're at fault here!"

"You guys just aren't determined enough. You two have been diving in the sea for many years. Don't you guys have someone in mind? And now I've overtaken both of you!"

Lisa sipped some wine calmly as he looked at them. "I remember that you two have always had better luck than me. If I can be this lucky, what makes both of you think you'd do worse?"

"We weren't really worried before, but suddenly we've turned 30! Actually, we're not that old, are we? I'm only 32 years old. It's the prime of my life! The elder made it sound so serious. If he really makes me angry, I might just get married to a random woman just to shut their mouths up!"

Moonbyul was really frustrated. His elders at home were spreading the news, so now all his colleagues knew he was 32 and did not even have a girlfriend!

Besides feeling pretty angry about it, he felt very embarrassed! He wanted to protest, but it would be futile.

His elders were not easy to deal with. He might get by with just a scolding, or it might escalate into a good beating.

Moonbyul felt that although the elder was a leader in high position during work, he acted like a caveman at home. He would use violence frequently at home, and if he resisted, the elder would say he was having high blood pressure and a hard time breathing.

"Don't be a reckless young man!"

Seulgi smiled. "Who knows if you might meet your true love in a few days?"

When he spoke, his eyes looked at Lisa who seemed pretty calm and did not really show any emotions.

"How do you feel? I heard you're flying off tomorrow. An early honeymoon?" Seulgi put on a grin. "After messing everything up here, you're going abroad to have fun. I'm afraid you're the only one who can do this. You're not leaving them any chances at all. Aren't you worried that the Yues and the Hans will go after you?"

"I'm about to ask what Seulgi just asked as well. There are too many obvious shreds of evidence that you went straight for Yueying this time. With Yueying almost done for now, I heard Kim Group and Yueying have been working together from some time ago, so why aren't they doing anything? Is there some kind of mistake?" Moonbyul voiced out his doubts.

"There should be some action soon, no?" Seulgi glanced at Lisa and laughed. "Hasn't Ryujin given you any news? Moonbyul and I made sure it's around Los Angeles. Unfortunately, we still can't catch Kim Joon yet."

Lisa put his glass down slowly while Moonbyul offered him a cigarette. As he was about to take it, he suddenly waved his hand and declined.

"We can only investigate. Kim Joon was the one who encouraged the bond between Kim Group and Yueying, and Jisoo was in-charge. I don't know what intentions they have or what they're trying to achieve, but I want to find out."

"I find it unbelievable as well. Even if Yueying is related to Glory World, I'd feel that it's normal if he uses Yueying to threaten you, but after what you did, Yueying has become an empty shell. Why are you so sure that they'll do something?" Moonbyul glanced at Lisa doubtfully as he asked quietly.

"Maybe it's just bait." Seulgi frowned slightly.
