Married to a Millionaire

Chapter 29

There was a clingy stuffed cat in the hospital. Its owner had gone abroad and left the cat in their care. Jennie skillfully bathed and blow-dried the cat. After the grooming session, the adorable stuffed cat nestled in her arms and rubbed against her. Jennie tried to put it in a cat cage, but the stuffed cat extended its four paws and clung to the cage door, turning its head to Jennie and meowing as if pleading.

The pitiful look in its eyes filled Jennie's heart with guilt.

"Alright, Jennie, go and have your meal," Nurse Zhao passed by the door, noticed the situation inside, and walked in, taking the stuffed cat into her own arms. Without being put in the cat cage, the stuffed cat became slightly obedient, but it still turned its round head and kept looking at Jennie.

"Then, I'll leave now." Lisa was still waiting outside for her. Jennie patted the stuffed cat and bid farewell to Zhao with a smile.

As she walked out of the hospital, it was already dark outside. Jennie looked around and found Lisa at the bicycle parking spot. He was sitting on the back seat of her bicycle, facing outward, engrossed in his phone like an ordinary college student waiting for his girlfriend.

The thought of Lisa sitting like that for two hours made Jennie feel especially guilty, so she hurriedly went to find him.

Hearing footsteps, Lisa turned his head and saw his fiancee, who had kept him waiting for two hours. His gaze seemed to be glued to her face, and he kept looking at Jennie as she walked up to him.

"Didn't I ask you to go back first?" Jennie felt guilty and lowered her head.

Lisa put his phone in his pants pocket and remained seated. He didn't stand up or say anything. Jennie mustered up the courage to raise her head and met Lisa's deep gaze, as if he was silently questioning her. Jennie lowered her head again and explained softly, "I was afraid you would be unhappy with me doing part-time jobs, so I didn't tell you."

She looked like a child who had done something wrong, both pitiful and obedient, making people want to hold her. Lisa resisted the urge to embrace her and locked his dark eyes onto hers, saying in a deep voice, "You knew I wouldn't be happy, yet you still did it. Deliberately defying me?"

Jennie pursed her lips.

Lisa's gaze shifted to her rosy lips. "How long have you been doing it?"

"For a little over half a month."

Lisa smiled, but his laughter was cold. "How many hours a day, and how much is the salary?"

Jennie confessed honestly.

Lisa immediately said, "From now on, I'll give you an additional 1,500 each month. Don't do it anymore and focus on your studies."

As a college student, some majors had lighter coursework, but Jennie's major had many difficult courses, and Lisa didn't want her to work too hard.

"You're already giving me enough. I want to earn money myself, and I enjoy this job," Jennie avoided eye contact and her guilty expression turned into determination. Besides that, Lisa also noticed her familiar stubbornness and a touch of unhappiness.

Not wanting to provoke Jennie's stubbornness head-on, Lisa changed his tone and said, "If Grandpa knew you were doing part-time jobs..."

"Don't tell him," Jennie bit her lip and smiled mischievously.

Lisa's resistance to the matter was defeated by her smile. Ignoring the hospital staff walking across from them, he hooked his big hand around Jennie's waist and pressed her forehead against his, gazing into her startled eyes. His voice was hoarse and low, "Bribe me, or I'll call Grandpa immediately."
