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

Chapter 712: Delivery (2)

Amidst the crowd's applause, Lisa slowly walked onto the stage.

Her heart was throbbing as she saw him slowly close in on her. Her eyes were moving along with his figure, and she looked up slightly when he was right in front of her.

His eyes were as deep as the dark sea. He studied her for a long while before he put on a smile. Then, he lowered himself and whispered beside her ear, "Tell me what you just said again tonight..."

He ran his fingers through her slightly messy hair. Before she could react, he retracted his hands and grabbed the trophy from the host and handed it to her along with an exquisite looking gift box with some other prizes inside.

This girl was getting more and more daring now to the point that she just confessed her love for him in public without getting embarrassed. On the contrary, he was the one that felt embarrassed.

Jennie looked at him as she took the prizes from him. The crowd gave another round of applause with many people shouting for Lisa to confess his love as well. However, he just smiled and kissed her on her lips.

"Jennie, I've never won ever since I met you." He sighed before patting her head, and then the two of them walked off the stage.

Jennie beamed and just followed him as Haruto and the others quickly went over.

As they just walked out of the Imperial Sky Hotel, they saw Jisoo standing around casually by the staircase with both his hands in his pockets. He gave Lisa and Jennie a meaningful glance while Jimin stood behind him.

The first one to greet them was Jimin. He gave Jisoo a careful glance before he called out, "Chairman Manoban, Director Kim!"

Lisa nodded, but his eyes were fixed on Jisoo. He and Jennie slowly stopped their steps.

"Why aren't you going up?" Lisa asked him.

"I just don't want to. Kim Group's annual dinner is today as well, so I need to rush over later. I've received your gift from your assistant Haruto, and I'm here to deliver my gift as well."

Jisoo gave Jimin a quick glance, and Jimin swiftly handed the gift over. In reflex, Haruto went forward to take it.

"That's very nice of you," said Lisa as he helped Jennie to smoothen her creased sleeve.

Jisoo shrugged and smiled. "You're welcome. Are you free to talk somewhere?" He glanced over at Jennie beside Lisa.

Lisa gave it some thought for a while before nodding. He told Jennie quietly, "I'll be back after a while."

"Haruto, get your Missus into the car first."

"Yes, Master."

Jennie gave them a doubtful glance. After some hesitation, she just nodded and went towards the car.

In just a moment, only Jisoo and Lisa were left.

Jisoo took out a cigarette from his pocket but did not offer Lisa one since he knew he was not going to touch it. He let out a puff casually. "Kim Joon handed Fuhua a proposal as well. I'm sure you know about this already, don't you?"

Lisa's eyes darkened as he looked at Jisoo.

"Is Fuhua confident about winning the bid? The bidding will start after the New Year. While Fuhua has very strong real estate in City Z, from what I know, Kim Joon had an alternative plan even though he was trying to get to work with Fuhua. Are you sure Fuhua can win the bid?" Jisoo's tone sounded grim. He had invested everything into Fuhua and Glory World, thus this fight was important to him!

"Did you hear something?" Lisa's eyes darkened as he glanced at Jisoo.

Jisoo took a deep breath. His eyes were clearly struggling as he shot Lisa a complicated glance before bending over and sitting down on the cold staircase. "Why do you think Shasha came to Kim Group? Uncle Cho sent her here. Do you understand now?"

His tone got deeper. "Kim Joon has been visiting City B frequently. Shasha will be working in Kim Group after the New Year. I'm not sure what position she'll assume yet, but I'm sure she'll be involved this. She's changed a lot. To be honest, I have no idea which side of her is real now."

Cho Ji-Shung, huh?

A cold light flashed in Lisa's darkened eyes as he thought about that name.

"Fuhua will do its best. Don't worry. You won't fail even without this project. I'll make sure your wish gets fulfilled after you've chosen to work with me. I'd never abandon my partner. I'd just fight with them." Lisa's magnetic voice reached him as his dark eyes lightened slightly.

Jisoo nodded. "I'll hold you to your word then. That's all from me. Is there any news from Australia?"

"I'll let you know if I find anything. The New Year is coming soon. I wish you an early Happy New Year." Lisa then walked down the staircase.

Jisoo watched his back in surprise as he asked, "Lisa, you're still so calm, huh? Aren't you worried that all your preparation with Fuhua will go to waste?"

He had always been so calm and collected. Was he really so confident about this huge project, or did he simply not care?

Lisa stopped when he heard Jisoo's question. He answered without turning back, "I have a baseline for myself. It doesn't really matter to me as long as this baseline isn't breached. No matter how bad it turns out, it won't be so bad that I'd have to starve my family. What's so difficult about it?"

Jisoo could not react to what he said, and Lisa already disappeared when he came back to his senses.

He patted his own head and mumbled, "It doesn't matter? You have no idea what's going on! But he does make a little sense..."
