She knew the man had always been the jealous type and had always treated her like a personal collection. However, she had disappointed him by causing trouble outside, and he would never forgive her for that...

Jennie's reaction was funny to Lisa. He placed his hand on her waist, his chin on her crown, and spoke with a clear, graceful manner, "Little Nini, do not put yourself in harm's way in the future!"

"I was so worried..."

It was rare for a man like Lisa to be emotional. In most
situations, he was overly calm and even cunning!

During the Spring Festival, Jennie had seen the side of Lisa she had never seen, one who was playing with power and navigating between politics with ease!

Usually, he was in charge of the development of Country Z's energy resources and technology. The aristocratic family of the Southeast Region was led by him, the younger generation treated him as a role model, and even the elites of the older generation would need to have some respect for him!

A man like this was, at this moment, holding his Little Nini and purring, displaying the sensibilities of a normal man.

As he was talking, his breathing was uneven. Jennie pressed herself to his chest and listened to his strong rhythmic heartbeats, and hesitated.

She thought he was going to teach her a lesson, but his tenderness caught her by surprise!

If he was going to be rough, she could still resist. However, the gentler he was, the more panicky and flustered she was. Like a child who made mistakes, they would revolt against criticism, but might bawl their eyes out if they were treated with kindness.

"Lili, I..."

Jennie's eyes reddened as she hung her head powerlessly on the man's chest. She felt a sense of safety that she had not felt for a long time...

Since the time she had heard Hanbin's words in the cemetery, well as when she found out that the evidence for her court case reversal had always been with Lisa the whole time from Yeji, she had been in a knot for a long time. Now that she was in his arms, all those concerns seemed to have disintegrated. She wished that time would stop so she could stay in this dream forever...

Lisa held her in his arms tightly. He had no doubt that human society was filled with vileness and kept imagining what could happen if the perpetrator had become aggressive or that if Chaeyoung did not manage to save her.

This woman did things behind his back, things that had sent him into worry spells retroactively. How could he criticize her in this situation?

"That man, where did he touch you?"

In the middle of their tender reunion, he asked.

Jennie was startled. "Which man?"

"You idiot!" Lisa was a little mad and poked her on her forehead, "That pervert in the subway!"

Jennie realized what happened and replied in surprise, "You can't do anything there, can you?"

"He touched my woman, why can't I do anything about it?!"

As he exclaimed, Lisa began strolling in the room. The
handsome man was feeling really uncomfortable, unlike the gentle Third Young Master L just a moment ago...

Jennie frowned, her head aching!

"Lisa, let it go. He's just a normal office worker. Since we've already sent him to the police, they will handle it. It would complicate things if you stood up, wouldn't it?"

Jennie was worried. If words get out, everyone would know she was part of the Manoban Family and her old well-documented case from three years ago would resurface. It was due to good luck that her colleagues did not recognize her, and she did not want Lisa to ruin that for her.

Lisa gave it a thought and suddenly blamed Huai, "Did Huai make you go out and catch the pervert?"

Jennie was silent as a cicada in winter. If she involved Huai, things would only get worse.

Huai intended to send them away. If Lisa demanded, Huai would definitely apologize and happily send them away.

Jennie immediately apologized by muttering, "We did it
ourselves, Big Brother Huai had nothing to do with it. Flushing out the trash of society is the responsibility of every citizen, we're fine, aren't we, so can you stop inquiring about it?

She tugged at Lisa's sleeve as she requested. Jennie
recalled Yan Jun's words on the road. Pouting, wheedling, and acting cute was important in situations like this!

"Hmph, you always had excuses like that. I think you're suited to be a college counselor!"

Hearing her soft voice, the haze inside Lisa's heart slowly
dissipated as he said, "I can let that go. However, if there are similar situations in the future, I'll forbid you from being a reporter. If you have to go outside like this, it would be better if you help out Manoban family business!"

Hearing Lisa's advice, Jennie was not happy. She
grumbled. "I have zero business skills, are you trying to make me bankrupt Yuan Family?"

"Tzuyu's method of handling business was pretty good, you both were old friends, so maybe you can learn from her!"

Lisa had that idea for a while now, but since Jennie wanted to do what she was good at, he did not stop her.

However, the more he let her does what she wanted, the more reckless she had become. After the fiasco this time, what could be next?

Jennie took a deep breath, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes as she said, "I like being a reporter. If I have to listen to you on even this, what's the difference between that and being stuck at home?"

Her cheeks flushed red. Seeing her unspeakable grievance, Lisa lost his imposing stance. He tightened his grip on her and comforted her. "I won't impose this on you, but you shouldn't let me be worried as well. This is only a warning, you have another chance!"

Jennie exhaled in relief. However, she still felt a little tingle in her heart. How could she manage this in the future when she still had to investigate about Nancy and Somi...

...

Lisa and Jennie exited their tea room and noticed that
there were no large movements in the other room. It was strange, did the two already stopped their quarreling?

Due to the style of decoration in the private club, they were using Japanese sliding doors. Lisa and I approached the door, knocked, and asked, "Jisoo, do you need help? Are you done with your little chili?"

A scruffy voice came from inside. "We're still at it!"

There was a faint shuffle in the room that sounds like the fight was still going on.

Jennie and Lisa shared a glance, not understanding the
situation!

A woman's faint sniffle was heard as she cursed, "Jisoo, you bastard..."

Jennie was shocked and was prepared to open the door when Lisa stopped her and laughed, "Miss Red Demon, did you want to save Miss Black Demon?"

Jennie was in no mood to joke with Lisa. She asked urgently, "What is Jisoo doing to Chaeyoung?"

Lisa smirked mysteriously and pulled his woman close to him.

"They were a man and a woman, like dry branches with fire. What else can he be doing to her?"

Jisoo had not been getting some action for such a long time. Now that he had gotten his hands on Chaeyoung, he must have picked her bones clean.

Jennie was even more restless at the sound of that. She hollered from the outside, "Chaeng, do you need help?"

"Third Young Master Manoban, can you take your girl away? If you can't control her, I don't mind letting you two inside to observe!" Jisoo became even gruffer with a hint of panting....
