Jennie was still slightly stunned. The statement was kind of illogical since it came out of Lisa's mouth. Such a statement belonged to old chauffeurs instead! Jennie took a good look at Lisa and thought he was a person who pretended to be all high and pristine, but in actuality, his waters run deep.

Ah, men!

Jennie stood up and murmured that Lisa was bored, and then she ran upstairs to unpack her luggage. After stuffing her clothes into Lisa's wardrobe, she looked at their clothes side by side and finally came to realize that she was really stuck with this man.

Downstairs, Lisa stood by the French window and gave his grandfather a call.

A middle-aged man picked up the phone. "Is this Lali?"

Lisa acknowledged it and called that person 'Uncle Zhong' before asking, "Where's my grandfather?"

Uncle Zhong looked at the old man who was busy in the vegetable garden through the window. He said, "Old Master is picking tomatoes. He said that he wanted to make tomato sauce and send it over to you."

Lisa nodded and then looked upstairs. He then said, "Uncle Zhong, I have to trouble you to order some bacon and sausages over." That afternoon, Ha Ji-won made a dish of stir-fried bamboo shoots with bacon, and Jennie, who was afraid of gaining weight, ate a bowl of rice with that dish.

She was too skinny. Lisa had pinched Jennie's wrist before—it was ridiculously thin.

He needed to feed her well.

At the other end of the call, hearing this request left Uncle Zhong extremely stunned. He spoke with a puzzled tone, "I thought Lali doesn't like to eat bacon and sausages?"

Lisa smiled and said, "Someone else likes them."

Hearing Lisa's amorous reply, Uncle Zhong was so stunned that it took a while before his mind started working.

Someone...

What kind of identity must this person have?

Zhong Buhui didn't probe more. He said that he got it and chatted with Lisa for a while more before hanging up.

After a while, Aoyu Manoban returned from the vegetable garden holding a basket and saw Zhong Buhui in a daze beside the phone. He removed his straw hat and asked Zhong Buhui, "Why are you in a daze? Who called just now?"

"Old Master." Zhong Buhui turned around and had a strange expression on his face. He then said, "Just now, Lali called and told us to send some bacon and sausages when we send the tomato sauce over."

Aoyu Manoban said, "Oh. We still have them at home and can just send them. What's the big deal?"

"But Old Master, Lali doesn't like those." Zhong Buhui's eyes glowed as he said, "Lali said that someone else likes to eat sausages. Old Master, do you think something is up with Lali?"

Aoyu Manoban's eyes twinkled. "You're saying that little lad is finally in love?"

Zhong Buhui nodded and said, "I'm afraid so."

"Oh no, I gotta go have a look!" Aoyu Manoban exclaimed as he slapped his thigh in excitement. So many years had already passed since that little lad was dumped, and since then, his love life was stagnant. Aoyu Manoban was worried that Lisa couldn't move on from such heartbreak.

Who was this living God that saved his Lisa from hell—he ought to thank her!

...

The living God, Jennie, was sleeping upstairs. After smelling the pillow that had Lisa's scent on and having wild thoughts for a while, she eventually fell asleep.
