The books were messily strewn about since Yeji had flipped through them this afternoon. Usually, Ryujin would be the one to tidy them up because Yeji hardly cleaned up after herself.
Lisa swiftly picked up the books and put them back on the shelf as he said, "Look at you. I'm very glad that I'm not like you."
Yeji did not seem to mind. "Someone's going to pick them up after me anyway, so why worry?"
"Of course, you don't care. Since when does Ryujin read books like these?" Lisa stared at Yeji for a moment before picking up the book on architecture and flipping through it.
Yeji glanced at him. "He tried to study when you sent him to City B to work on the Movie City."
Lisa nodded and took a deep breath as he put the book back. "Ryujin has always been a serious person. Grandmother would be much more at ease if you were half as responsible as him. How was last night?"
Yeji shrugged, running her fingers through her black hair. "Still the usual stuff, asking me when I'll be getting married to Ryujin. They hope it'll be this year like what happened to you back then."
Lisa looked at Yeji. "What did you say? Ryujin isn't young anymore, and neither are you. Your sister-in-law married me when she was 26. Two years later and she's 28 now. She keeps asking me if she's getting old. Aren't women very sensitive about their age?"
"Sister-in-law is a typical little woman. Of course, she'd be different from someone who favors the single life like me!" Yeji chuckled.
Lisa rolled up the book in his hand and knocked her head. "Stop getting so cocky just because Ryujin is always there for you. When we gathered back at Maple Residence a few days ago, they talked about Ryujin and you. It all started over a decade ago, didn't it?" He gave Yeji a gentle glance.
Both Yeji and Manoban Limgmo were pretty introverted. They were close to Lisa since they were little, and they were close to Suho when he was still alive as well. As the big brother, Lisa was calmer and more mature in nature, so he hardly brought up such topics with them, but he did talk a lot with Moonbyul and Seulgi.
Nonetheless, Manoban Lingmo and Yeji totally respected him, and Lisa was caring towards them as an older brother.
Yeji nodded. "It's been over 10 years, plus around 5 or 6 years of a blank period. Brother, just let this happen naturally. We're still doing fine even though we aren't married. Didn't Grandmother want us to get married quickly before? They unofficially recognized our current relationship as of now, so it doesn't really matter to me if we get registered or not."
"How could it not matter? Although it isn't my top concern, you still deserve what you should get. I don't want to see you not having a wedding dress, a wedding ceremony, and all that."
He stopped his movements and stared deep into Yeji's eyes. "I hope to witness the scene where father leads your hand on the red carpet and hands you over to Ryujin. I'm sure our parents are looking forward to it as well."
Yeji could sense something in his words, so she sighed moments later. "I know what you mean. Don't worry. I'll always remember how great my family is. Whenever I feel sad, I always feel better the moment I think about you guys."
"No matter what, always remember that you're a daughter of the Manoban family, and we've all got your back, understand?" Lisa said.
Yeji gave him a serious nod as well.
The living room became much tidier after a while. Ryujin also came back home half an hour later, and the sky turned dark by the time Lisa started cooking. Ryujin helped him out and dinner was served at 7 p.m.
The siblings sat together for dinner.
Lisa was getting ready to go home soon after dinner, so Ryujin sent him to the entrance.
"Master, you rarely come over. You can stay longer if you want. Yeji is happy with you around, and I can send you back later," Ryujin said as he followed behind Lisa.
Lisa took a pause and then looked up at the sky. The moon was already up, emitting its silver glow over the horizon. He turned back to Ryujin. "I'll pass. I just came over to take a look at both of you. Your sister-in-law is still waiting for me at home. If you haven't thought about how to break the news to her, you can wait for a while. I haven't thought about how to tell our parents too. Besides, it's quite a sensitive period right now. Arrange for an agile bodyguard for Yeji soon. She probably needs one since she frequents the night club."
Ryujin hesitated for a moment, sensing Lisa's concern. "Master, did something happen?"
"Nothing much. I met Ji Shung today. He admitted his relationship with Yeji to me. I don't want to blame him for his past with my aunt. I just want Yeji to be happy in the future, and you know what you promised me before," Lisa shared while he looked deep into Ryujin's eyes.
Ryujin paused before quickly nodding. "Yes, I remember. I'll love her with my life."
"What did Ji Shung want from you?" He gave Lisa a worried glance.
"He knows I'm investigating him. He also knew that we know about his relationship with Yeji. That's all for now, but you should be prepared. I'll head back right now."
Lisa then continued forward. Haruto and the others were already waiting for him at the entrance.
"Yes, I understand," Ryujin replied quietly as he went forward.
"Alright, go back in." Lisa then got into the car.
