Aside from her grandfather, parents, and brother, Lisa’s family also included that seemingly virtuous sister-in-law of hers. In Lisa’s past life, she never paid attention to her sister-in-law because that woman wasn’t close nor intimate with  Lisa’s older brother.

It seemed that when he married Chou Nayeon, he had been thinking along the same lines as Lisa; it was about time, and there was that odd family rule to consider. Therefore, he’d simply found himself a docile wife with a suitable family background.

After the marriage, the husband-and-wife pair didn’t interact much. They later moved out of the manor, further reducing Lisa’s chances of seeing that woman.

Only, who would’ve expected that woman to be another one of the Choi family’s chess pieces? The Choi family wanted to infiltrate and then consume the Manoban family—how wishful!

Chou Tzuyu, Chou Nayeon, and the entire Wang family… Lisa kept this debt firmly in her heart.

In the evening, most of the Manoban family members returned. Grandpa Manoban, Father Manoban, and Mother Manoban filed in. Nothing could be done about her brother Yoonhi since he was busy abroad. As for Nayeon, her whereabouts were a mystery.

However, Lisa wasn’t worried as she peacefully ate dinner with her grandpa and parents.

Grandpa Manoban was a very lively elder, and he was also the fondest of Lisa. While they were eating, he couldn’t help but ask, “Lili, where’s Jungkook? He didn’t come back with you?”

“We’ll come together next time.” Today, she came back on impulse, so she forgot to bring Jungkook along.

Her response surprised Grandpa Manoban. Every other time he asked a question like this, he would either receive a rejection or just plain silence. Lisa’s response this time made Grandpa Manoban’s eyes shine.

Cheerfully, he said, “Then I’ll wait for the two of you to come back and see Grandpa. Jungkook is a pretty good child.”

No one in the Manoban family was stupid. They were aware of how the relationship was between Lisa and Jungkook. Despite their traditional family rules, the Manoban family was actually a very open-minded family.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed Lisa to marry Jungkook , who had been a newcomer at the time of their marriage. Not to mention, he was an orphan.

Father Manoban and Mother Manoban were both listening from the sidelines, and their eyes also began to shine with anticipation.

Mother Manoban said, “That’s right, bring Lili here and have him sign a few autographs for me. The little rascals in my company adore him. Oh, yes, and I heard that he professed to you today on his official webpage? Hehe, if you ask me, I’d say that it’s time for the two of you to disclose your relationship already. That way, people will stop coming to me asking if you’re married yet. They all want to introduce you to a boyfriend.”

Father Manoban chimed in, “Yeah, when do you plan on disclosing it and letting our friends celebrate a bit?”

Very few people knew about the marriage between Lisa and Jungkook. Nayeon was the only reason why the Chou family knew about it.

“Not now. I’m a bit busy right now,” Lisa responded with uncertainty. She disliked formalization. She and Jungkook were married, so they were husband-and-wife. To her, it was as simple as that. There was no need to make a great show out of it.

As for whether or not their relationship should be publicized, Lisa had never thought of it before. However, she switched over to focus instead on the other piece of “news” she’d heard from her mother just then.
