Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 2)

241

In regards to Lisa and Jennie's relationship...

The majority of the public simply spread rumors, but...no one dared to make a big fuss out of it because Manoban Entertainment's PR made it hard to determine how reliable the information was.

Because of her hip injury, Jennie ended up sleeping straight through the night. By the time she woke up midday the next day, her throat was dry and she couldn't speak. She could only make simple gestures with her hands to express her thoughts.

Lisa sat by her bedside with his arms around her as he examined her wounds. She had abrasions and soft tissue injuries which would take at least 15 days to fully recover.

Jennie lay on Lisa's body as she tried desperately to absorb his essence; it was like a nutrient she couldn't live without.

Lisa gently lowered her head onto his thigh and heart-breakingly brushed her hair out of her face, "Get better soon."

"Did you stay up all night again?" Jennie couldn't sit up, so she remained lying down as she questioned Lisa. Her eyelashes gently shook as she spoke.

"I'm not immortal, of course I had some rest," Lisa brushed his hand across Jennie's cheek. "Overseas, there is a contest that I've already signed your name up to..."

"What type of contest is it?"

Lisa's eyes followed the curves of Jennie body and stopped at her legs, "I'm not sure if you'll still be able to get a ranking. Let's not talk about it for now."

"Has Qin Yu stepped out to confess yet?"

"It appears she won't step out until 11:59pm!" Lisa was familiar with the psychology of people like Qin Yu; she wasn't going to easily admit defeat. So, there was no way she'd be willing to accept her fate until the very last minute.

"You deliberately put her through this torment, didn't you?" Jennie giggled as she grabbed Lisa's hand and intertwined her fingers with his.

Seeing Jennie in a relaxed mood, Lisa showed her a compilation of posts from netizens.

As Jennie flipped through the public's speculations, she suddenly felt a little nervous and confused, "Have they figured out everything?"

"Did you think, with me announcing I'm your manager, they'd still be so stupid?" Lisa chuckled. "As long as we don't respond to them, they will never have an answer! Right now, these people are using whatever methods they can to figure out our relationship. But...we'll just keep them guessing."

Lisa did not admit nor deny. He simply did what he should as a manager and protected the person he wanted to protect. As for Jennie, her mission was to focus on being a good model and keep working towards her dream runway.

"They will eventually find out..."

"Are you afraid?" Lisa asked.

Jennie shook her head. She was a lot more relaxed than when she first saw the speculation from the public, "No...I like the way things are headed. By handling things this way, it is a subtle way of letting the reporters know we are in charge; whether we want to announce our relationship is our decision."

Following on from Lisa's announcement as manager, the public's reaction towards their relationship included, those that wanted to dig up secrets, those that felt disdain, those that went around slandering them and, of course, fans that were gushing with girly romantic ideals!

"Oh my girly heart...Jennie is like a little kitty that is baring its teeth and showing its claws whilst being protected by an almighty tiger. They are so cute! I don't care whether they admit to it or not. I am determined to support this coupling..."

"Wow! Jennie's long legs and President Manoban's 1.9m figure is the perfect match. I didn't think much of the LM commercial before, but now that I look at it again, it's filled with love..."

"An almighty CEO actually lowered his dignity to become a model's manager. If this isn't love, I don't know what is!"

One of the fans even posted up a photo of Lisa stepping out to help Jennie after the awards ceremony and turned it into a manga drawing. The fans died from cuteness after seeing this.

"I'm really anticipating them announcing their relationship, yet I also want them to continue keeping it a secret. My thoughts are contradicting!"

"President Manoban, you like Jennie, don't you?"

"Someone with a cold and calm personality like Jennie needs to be loved by a possessive CEO! I'm satisfied!"

Jennie did not expect they would actually attract fans of their coupling. Upon seeing these comments, she couldn't help but feel happy.

That night, Jisoo arrived at Hyatt Regency with a box of letters and gifts, "These are from your fans. Some are for you and some are for the President."

"We received all this in less than a day..."

"It's to celebrate you having the world's most invincible manager and strongest bodyguard backing you."

Jennie smiled, revealing dimples on her cheeks.

"However, I can't believe these people actually had the courage to write letters to the president...It seems, with you as an excuse, the President no longer seems so intimidating and unapproachable."

Jennie retrieved the box from Jisoo; she was quite moved. Did this mean, from her position, she no longer had to look up at Lisa? Of course, in her heart, Jennie understood, she had gotten to where she was today because Lisa shielded her from the wind and rain. But even so, in these people's eyes, was she really worthy of being coupled with Lisa?

"What's written in the letters to Lisa?" Jennie curiously opened one of Lisa's letters and involuntarily let out a laugh.

"President Manoban...I'm too afraid to talk to you directly, but I want to tell you, you are extremely handsome!"

"Madam, whenever you're bored, you can pass time by looking through these letters," Jisoo helped Jennie place the box on the floor beside her so it could remain within her reach.

Afterwards, Jennie pulled out a yellow envelope. However, it did not contain a letter. It contained photos!

It was a photo of her kissing a man!

Jennie naturally knew who she was kissing in the photo. But, when the reporter took the photo, it was night time and he was far away, so he only managed to capture her back.

Jennie smirked as she saw the note attached to the photos, "Jennie, your lustful image will definitely be uncovered by us. Don't be so proud."

Jennie placed the photo on her bedside and waited for Lisa to finish work so they could admire it together.

The time was 8pm. Jennie flipped through the news and realized Manoban Entertainment had already pressured the organizers of the awards ceremony for an explanation twice. Actually, this was a disguised warning to Qin Yu; she didn't have much time left.

During this time, Qin Yu wasn't the only one that was suffering. Her manager was also pacing back and forth anxiously because he too was involved.

"This matter, did you clean up after yourself?" Qin Yu asked as she tugged at the pillow in her hands, "Did you know Manoban Entertainment has already released their second warning?"

"I'm not sure!" her manager panicked with a head full of sweat, "Even if I think I'm certain, I don't dare to underestimate Manoban Entertainment. After all, I'm sure you've heard about President Manoban's methods."

"The agency still refuses to represent me?" Qin Yu's eyes slowly swept over with an expression of defeat.

"Although the agency has been secretly competing with Manoban Entertainment over the years, they've never had the guts to be open about it...This time, Lisa obviously wants you to pay for what you've done. No matter how much you try to run away, you won't be able to avoid it...Qin Yu...go confess..."

"Jennie's injuries weren't light. If you want Lisa to stop looking into it, it's practically impossible."
