Jennie saw that he looked like he had been rejected by Irene and asked Lisa, "It's very boring to be alone with Irene, right?"

Lisa curved his lips and lied against his will. "Sister Irene is a pretty easygoing person. I just want to be with you."

"Don't lie to me. Do you think I don't know what kind of person she is?"

Lisa didn't continue this topic and asked Jennie, "Does your stomach hurt?"

Jennie's menstrual cycle had come. Her abdomen felt slightly uncomfortable but not painful. She shook her head. "No."

"That's good. Let me bring the tea over." Lisa handed Irene a cup of tea in the living room with a respectful attitude.

Irene had no intention of reaching out for the tea. Her cold eyes stared straight into Lisa's. She suddenly asked, "When Jennie was 8 years old, she was bullied by a male classmate for the first time. How did I avenge her?"

Lisa quietly stared at Irene. He knew that Irene was trying to intimidate him—this was also within Lisa's expectations. As if his curiosity was piqued by her words, Lisa lowered his head and asked, "How did you get back at him for Jennie?"

Irene was expressionless but her words were rather frightening. "I hid a snake in his bag. He was bitten and nearly amputated..."

Under Irene's cold gaze, Lisa praised her without a change in expression. "Sister Irene did a great job. Anyone who bullies Jennie deserves retribution." Lisa felt that this was not enough and added. "It wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say that they should be struck by lightning."

Irene snorted. "Lisa, I don't care who you are or what position you have. Since you married Jennie, you must treat her with respect and love forever. If you dare to bully her..." Irene accepted the tea but didn't drink it. Instead, she poured the tea into a potted plant on the table.

She put down her teacup heavily and said, "I won't splash you with water, I'll splash acid instead."

Despite being intimidated by Irene's actions, Lisa's expression didn't change. He smiled slightly and turned to look at Jennie behind him. Lisa even said with a gratified expression, "Our Jennie is fortunate to have such a loving elder sister."

Hearing this, Irene couldn't help but look up to Lisa.

He's pretty capable.

Jennie, who had been quietly standing behind Lisa and listening to their conversation, secretly glanced up at Lisa, then looked at Irene who was leaning against the sofa like she had no bones. She suddenly turned and ran into the washroom.

Hearing the sound of movement, Lisa turned to look. Seeing that the door to the washroom was closed, Lisa's eyes showed some helplessness.

Irene pursed her lips and said insincerely, "You've grown up!"

Jennie entered the washroom, turned on the tap, and burst into tears.

This feeling of having a family to back me up is just too good.

Jennie came out with slightly reddened eyes. But Lisa was considerate and didn't ask her the reason to avoid embarrassing her. He just pushed the cup of passionfruit tea to Jennie and said, "The tea is getting cold."

Jennie lowered her head and took a sip of sweet and sour fruit tea.

At this moment, Seulgi came downstairs after laying out the bedsheets. He walked over to Irene's side and sat down. Seulgi's heart ached slightly when he saw the potted plant. It's my favorite potted plant!

Irene noticed his pained expression and looked down on him. "Does your heart ache?"

Seulgi asked her, "Did you splash it?"

Irene said, "My hand was trembling and I was careless."

You were shaking in such an accurate manner.

Irene was in low spirits and wanted to rest. She stood up slowly and glanced at Jennie who was drinking fruit tea beside Lisa. Without asking anyone's opinion, she said resolutely, "Jennie will sleep with me tonight."

Jennie didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Irene's arrangement. She put down her teacup and quickly stood up. "Irene, it's tiring to go upstairs. Let me help you up." Jennie supported Irene as the two of them slowly made their way upstairs, leaving Seulgi and Lisa in the living room looking at each other.

Seulgi glanced at Lisa quietly and said, "I only have one guest room at home..."

One of them was bound to sleep on the floor.

Lisa also had a complicated expression. He looked up and scanned the surroundings of Seulgi's house. He couldn't resist complaining. "Such a spacious house with only two rooms. You're really extravagant."

Seulgi said, "I never thought that one day in my own home, I would need to fight with an adult male for the guest room." In other words, Lisa was the unexpected guest.

Lisa was no pushover either. "You are Zeus Airlines' spokesperson and I'm the boss of Zeus Airlines..." He was hinting at something.

I am your sugar daddy and the bed belongs to me.

But Seulgi was no saint either. He said, "Jennie will listen to Irene, and Irene will be mine sooner or later." I'm a man who can flirt with Irene!

Lisa admitted defeat!

The two of them refused to sleep on the floor. Seulgi and Lisa stared at each other. A moment later, Lisa relented. He spoke first. "I'm very obedient in bed. I don't kick people."

Seulgi added. "I don't snore either."

"Alright!"

The two of them went upstairs. After washing up briefly, Lisa and Seulgi slept separately on each side of the 1.8-meter bed.

The two long-legged men were sleeping on the same bed and it looked rather cramped. Lisa shifted his head on the pillow and didn't hear any sounds from the master bedroom next door. He felt somewhat helpless. "Your house's soundproofing system is quite good." I can't even eavesdrop.

Seulgi wasn't sleeping either. He was playing with his cell phone. He naturally knew what Lisa was referring to. He said, "It has been many years since the two of them chatted. There will definitely be endless things to talk about tonight."

Lisa acknowledged, but he wanted to know what they said and if they were talking about him...

The happiest people on earth were Jennie and Seulgi now that Irene was awake. "Irene is awake. You have finally gotten what you wanted."

Seulgi gave a bitter laugh. "No..." Thinking of how Irene rejected him, Seulgi couldn't even bring himself to smile bitterly." I confessed to her but she rejected me and said that she treats me like a brother... There's still a long way to go. I have to slowly woo her. "

Lisa pitied Seulgi's plight. "You still have a long way to go."

Seulgi wanted to cry.

It was 10pm and it was time for Lisa to sleep. Lisa turned his cell phone to silent mode and said, "I am going to bed."

Seulgi said, "Good night."

Lisa switched off the lights.

The room suddenly turned dark. Seulgi's pupils constricted. He tried to suppress his fear but failed. He called out softly, "Mr. Manoban."

Lisa didn't open his eyes and asked, "Hmm?"

Seulgi asked, "Can I turn on the lights?"

Lisa asked, "It's not good for the eyes to turn on the light when you sleep." The big boss of healthcare was very protective of his own health. He definitely couldn't have such a bad habit of leaving the light on at night.

Seulgi was very embarrassed. "I am afraid of the dark."

Lisa was speechless.

Indeed, any pot should be accompanied with its compatible cover. A coward like Seulgi had to be dealt with by someone as ruthless as Irene.
