The man waved back.

"Stay there. No need to walk so far to meet us here," Lisa spoke to the man on the phone. "We'll meet you there."

After the call, they drove and parked in front of the mansion. The man Lisa called "Eldest Brother" waited for them below the steps, a welcoming smile on his face.

"Stay there. I'll open your door," Lisa told her.

After both of them got out of the car, he held her hand and led her to the man waiting for them.

"Third Brother, you're finally here," the tall, thin man greeted them. He had a very amiable aura.

"Eldest Brother, thank you for having us," Lisa answered.

The two gave each other a one-armed manly hug, patting each other on their backs.

"Ahaha! What are you saying? You sound like a stranger. My brothers are always welcome in my home." He turned a curious look at Jennie. "And this beautiful lady is?"

Lisa wrapped his arm around her tiny waist before introducing her. "Eldest Brother, this is Ruby Jane, my girlfriend."

A surprised expression appeared on the man's face, even though he already suspected as much, seeing the couple's matching outfits and the way Lisa clung to her. Hmm... Who would've thought?

"Baby, this is Lin Mingyu. He owns this farm villa. He's one of my best friends."

She stepped forward with a graceful smile and offered her hand. Her actions were natural, smooth and elegant. Very much like a proper lady.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Mingyu accepted her hand and shook it, silently impressed at her noble bearing. "Hello, Ruby Jane. A pleasure to meet you too. Welcome to my villa."

"Thank you. Your place is beautiful."

Lisa cleared his throat and pulled her close to his body, breaking their handshake.

Mingyu inwardly snickered.

"In our group, we call him Eldest Brother. You can call him Eldest Brother too," Lisa told her.

"Yes, that's right. Please don't be a stranger. Seeing that you're our Third Brother's girlfriend, I would be more than happy if you call me Eldest Brother as well."

Jennie looked at Lisa. Seeing him nod at her, she turned and smiled at Mingyu. "Alright. Thank you, Eldest Brother."

The three entered the mansion. The interiors were all wood and big stone bricks, giving a rustic elegance to the place. Although the house was massive, it still felt like home; warm and cozy.

"I suggest to eat lunch first before touring the villa," Mingyu said.

They agreed with him, especially Jennie who was looking forward to finally eating a proper meal.

They were about to head off to lunch when they heard a car horn outside.

Mingyu frowned. "Sorry. Wait here for a moment. Let me see who it is." Then he went outside.

Lisa embraced Jennie while they waited. He pointed at some things in the living area and shared some interesting stories about them.

"Third Bro! I heard you're coming here today. Where are you?" A loud male voice called out from the entrance.

"Stop shouting, Fourth Brother. Third Brother is not deaf," another male voice spoke.

Mingyu: "Hai. Why are you two here today?"

Lisa scowled while Jennie tilted her head to the side. The first voice sounded familiar to her.

"Ahahaha! Why are you being like this, Eldest Bro? Aren't we brothers always welcome here? You mentioned the other day that Third Bro will be coming here today so here we are! We haven't hung out together for a while so―"

"Your presence is not needed here today. Leave." Lisa's cold voice was like a whip cutting mercilessly at the voice's owner.

The three men ahead stopped. Mingyu smiled helplessly, feeling a little guilty.

"Third Bro, how can you be so heartless? We just want to...eh? Jennie, is that you? Why are you here?"

"Teacher Wang?" Jennie exclaimed in surprise. Then she turned to Lisa. "Oh, right. You mentioned that Teacher Wang is your friend."

Mingyu: "Ah? What? You know each other?"

Jackson: "Of course we know each other. Jennie is my beloved Systema student."

Lisa's face turned black, his eyes cold; his voice low and dangerous. "Jennie? Beloved?"

The two new arrivals finally noticed that Lisa and Jennie wore matching outfits and that their arms were around each other's waists.

Jackson: "Eh? Jennie, why are you with Third Bro? And why are you both dressed like that? Wait, don't tell me..."

Lisa: "Go away. I'm here on a date with my girlfriend."

Jackson: "G-girlfriend? Ah what? Ahahaha! I think there's something wrong with my ears today. Maybe I forgot to clean them."

Mingyu looked at his stupid friend and shook his head. "Hai. Good luck."

The other man who also just arrived stepped forward. He had a similar cold appearance like Lisa, but looked more approachable. His sharp eyes looked amused. He gave a slight smile and extended a hand to Jennie. "Hello. I'm Haruto. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, too. I'm Ruby Jane," she smiled at him and shook his hand.

Lisa pulled her to him again, breaking the handshake. He nodded at Haruto. "Second Brother."

Haruto: "Third Brother, you hid her well. We had no idea that you already have a girlfriend."

Jackson: "F*ck! Are you for real? You're really Third Bro's girlfriend? Jennie, why didn't you tell me?"

Jennie: "I didn't know that Teacher Wang and Lisa are friends―"

Lisa: "Hm? What did you call me?"

No way. Oh no no no! She was sort of alright saying it in front of Wonjae, but not in front of all these people she just met. Absolutely no way.

Lisa: "Baby girl, what are you supposed to call me again? Hm? We already talked about this, didn't we?"

Jackson: "Hey, Third Bro! Are you bullying my beloved student?"

Lisa glared at him so viciously that Jackson immediately shut up, feeling cold sweat on his back.

Lisa: "Say it again. Properly this time. Come on, baby girl. Don't be shy. These are all my brothers."

She pursed her lips at him.

He kissed her forehead, encouraging her, but his eyes remained insistent.

Jennie: "I didn't know that Teacher Wang and...and my...my honey are friends..."

This was so stupid! If only she wasn't meeting his brothers for the first time, she would've already punched Lisa's face.
