The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 4

Chapter 628: Always Be This Happy? (2)

When she received Jennie's nod, Yeji went to get the door.

Jennie answered the call, and the man's deep voice immediately came through. "It's me. Have you had lunch?"

"Not yet. I was just preparing some food with Yeji," Jennie responded.

"Mmm, eat more, but I need you to help me do something. Go to the study room. On the second shelf, in the hidden grid on the third row, there's a folder with an 'X' on it. Take it down and hand it to Jisoo. He should be reaching Maple Residence right now." His deep and magnetic voice came through, astonishing her.

Jennie glanced at the screen by the door and asked in puzzlement, "Document folder? Hand to Jisoo? Since when did you become this close to him?"

"Didn't I tell you that there's no such thing as an eternal enemy but only eternal benefits? This is men's business. Don't worry about it. Go upstairs right now and bring the thing to him, hmm?" His gentle voice contained a smile.

"I smell adultery, Mr. Manoban!" she teased as she walked upstairs.

Lisa rarely heard her tease him, so she went along with her and said softly, "If there really was adultery, it wouldn't be with him. Don't you think this is cheapening your Mr. Manoban's taste? Hmm, has the little thing been behaving?"

"It's been kicking up quite a fuss. If you were back, it could probably understand what we're saying since it can usually feel the things I say to it. Right, it's going to be the VP of Kim Group, Wang Qin's birthday soon, but I haven't decided on what gift to give. Clearly, you're up to taking care of Jisoo's face, so what do you plan to do?" Jennie recalled what Jisoo had mentioned to her.

"Don't worry. Ryujin's prepared it. Just go over with him then and bring Solar along."

...

When the door slowly opened, Jisoo was a little surprised to see the icily arrogant and unruly Yeji standing inside. He raised his brows, yet you could not read any emotions on his face. "Why is it you?"

Yeji's expression turned cold too, obviously she did not like seeing this Jisoo, she answered coldly, "Why can't it be me?"

Jisoo shrugged as his gaze fell on Yeji, quickly stopping on the scary scars on her face. A mix of emotions flickered in his eyes.

When she noticed his gaze, Yeji only shot him a warning glare as she turned away. She twisted to her side and allowed him a small gap to enter.

Jisoo then looked away. A pity that he did not even realize he felt crossed his expression. He thought about it, then answered, "Consider it a slip of the tongue, Miss Manoban." He then walked right in with huge strides.

While Yeji was weirded out by his attitude, before she could think any further, Jisoo had already walked past her. Then, his lazy voice drawled, "Is Jennie not around?"

Was he there to look for Sis-in-law?

Vigilance flashed in Yeji's eyes as she closed the door and quickly followed him.

"Why are you here?"

It was a vigilant and repelling tone which would startle and annoy anyone, yet Jisoo did not seem to feel it at all. He slowed down his steps and when Yeji walked up to him, he suddenly spun around to watch her. His eyes that carried a hint of a demonic smile was questioning. "What's wrong? Ms. Manoban, are you still unhappy about the last time? We don't have much of a grudge between us. I'm now a good friend of your brother's and your sis-in-law's confidant. Can't you just be nice to me? When Suho was still around, you weren't this prejudiced against me, were you?"

Brother's good friend and Sis-in-law's confidant?

Nonsense!

Yeji shot him a glance. She did not forget that this man did bring Lisa a barrage of trouble.

When he saw her ignoring him, Jisoo stopped talking and continued to quicken his steps as he walked in. He had just stepped into the living room when he saw Jennie walking down with a folder.

"Lisa sure is quick." Jisoo stood near the staircase as he looked at Jennie in amusement.

"He told me to pass you this."

Jennie handed the folder to him without any questions. Her husband had his reasons for doing things, so this must be about a collaboration.

Jisoo took it and had a brief look before looking up at Jennie. When he saw that she was even frailer now, he could not help but ask in concern, "It's only been a few days, but you've turned skinnier. Aren't you worried that a certain Mr. Manoban will be sad when he gets back?"

When he said this, even Jisoo found it unimaginable that he would actually care for someone so calmly. In fact, it was his former rival's woman. Had this been in the past, Jisoo would definitely have thought that he was experiencing a mental lapse or that he was possessed.

However, now that he said it out loud, it all felt natural.

In front of this husband and wife, Jisoo could not seem to pretend. He became what was under the mask, his true self.

When Jennie heard his concern, she was not angered. Lisa had told her a lot about Jisoo. Setting aside the grudges between him and Lisa, he was actually not that annoying of a person. At least, Jisoo had never truly made things hard for her. Otherwise, if he did not plan to let her go back then, she would not have made it out of West Park with her injuries.

After that, she had been in contact with him several times, and her impression of him slowly changed.

"I can barely manage all the work. I've given you what I need to. Oh, lunch has just been prepared. Do you want to have some before leaving?" Jennie asked courteously.

"How rare of you to ask me to stay for lunch, but there's no need. I've just had lunch with a friend before coming over. Apart from coming for this, I also wanted to remind you not to forget about my mother's birthday banquet." His low and gentle voice sounded quite calm.

Jennie nodded. "Don't worry. I'll be there personally."

Jisoo was relieved. Unexpectedly, a plain gentleness gathered in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on her beautiful face. After a long while, he smiled and said, "Thank you! If possible, I really hope that you will always be this happy and stay away from all those troubles, but don't worry. Apart from Lisa, I'll also be a friend and protect you. You must know that apart from Lisa, I, Jisoo, am a very chivalrous, kind man too."

Jennie thought it was a little weird. She wanted to ask something, but Jisoo had abruptly turned to leave, waving the folder in hand.

"Bye! See you at the banquet!"
