The Wife Is A Superstar 3

Chapter 552 - Grandpa Wants To Know!

Jiyong straightened to his full height and walked using his long legs to reach Jisoo's side in just a few steps.

"Let's go, CFO Kim. Don't keep my sister waiting."

Jisoo pursed her lips, annoyed that the man kept on calling her sister as his sister. But no matter how annoyed she felt, she decided not to say anything. She could sense that the man was vastly different from the straightforward Jennie and Sir Jian. Jiyong was a man whose real depth couldn't be measured based on his outward devil-may-care persona. She would only lose badly if she decided to pit herself against someone as enigmatic as him.

So she ignored him—or tried to. All of her senses were focused on his presence. She started walking ahead of him, but in just a moment, their positions were reversed. His legs were longer than hers. Now he was walking in front of her while she struggled to keep up with him.

Then she noticed something peculiar. He could've already left her behind. However, he was deliberately slowing his pace.

Was the man waiting for her?

"Mr. Kwon, there's no need to wait for me. I can find my own way," she told him.

"Like I told you earlier, a woman shouldn't walk alone in a dark and empty place like this," he replied without looking back at her. "It would greatly inconvenience my sister if something were to happen to you. Even she wouldn't be able to quickly find a person to replace you as the CFO on such short notice."

The corners of her mouth turned down. Here she was thinking that the man was finally acting like a gentleman to her, but it turned out that he was just doing it because he wanted to rub his close relationship with HER sister, Jennie, to her face.

Later, they returned to the noisy, lively and cheerful grand hall together. Their arrival wasn't noticed by most of the people but it didn't escape a certain old man's sharp hawk eyes.

The two went their separate ways. Jisoo headed to where her sister, friends and colleagues were discussing the Orchidia Beauty products with the enthusiastic beauty influencers who attended tonight's grand launch. Jiyong returned to his spot beside Grandpa.

"There you are, Jiyong my boy! Where have you been? I want to know! Your beloved grandpa had been so bored waiting and waiting for you! I almost fell asleep!"

"Sorry, Grandpa," Jiyong murmured, picking a spring roll from the old man's plate on the table and tossing it into his mouth. "I had to go out for a bit to listen to my subordinate's report."

"Well? What's the report?! I want to know!!!"

Jiyong told him about the trespassers his subordinates and Lisa's men blocked from slipping inside the party.

Grandpa nodded hearing what happened.

"Good job on raising such disciplined subordinates, my boy! Your beloved grandpa is so proud of you! Bahahaha!"

Then the old man "patted" his grandson's back. The loud thuds sounded disturbing, like some of Jiyong's internal organs might explode from the force.

The surrounding guests looked alarmed and concerned for Jiyong. However, when they looked at him, he just continued swiping food from his grandfather's plate and eating like everything was normal. Seeing his bulky body under his tailored tuxedo suit, the onlookers could only conclude that his muscles were so big and hard that he had become impervious to regular pain. After being assured that he would be okay, they stopped paying attention to the grandfather and grandson.

"By the way, my boy! Your beloved grandpa saw that you returned with Ruby's sister. So tell this old man right now! Is she your type? Is she? She is, right? I want to know!!!"
