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

273

Minho turned his head and looked at Suzy before answering in a serious tone (with no trace of his usual playfulness), "No one will want someone that continually doubts themselves."

Minho always provided strong answers and this time was no different.

He used a roundabout way to point out that Suzy's current state wasn't great. At the same time, he also avoided answering Suzy's difficult question by playing Tai Chi around it. It wasn't a matter of whether he wanted someone like her. Instead, in her current state, no man would want someone that doubted themselves like that.

Suzy almost forgot Minho's identity at Manoban Entertainment was both the Artists Director and PR Director. His responses had always been unquestionable, making it impossible for others to argue against him.

So, she let out a laugh before sitting quietly for the rest of the car ride.

She didn't like the feeling of uncertainty and didn't like to hide things. Most importantly, she was scared. She had been scared for a long time.

Perhaps, he felt the car had been quiet for too long, so Minho cleared his throat before saying, "You're home..."

"In that case, thank you. No need to walk me to the door..." As soon as she finished talking, Suzy got ready to leave the car. However, Minho suddenly did something that surprised even himself. He leaned over and stopped Suzy by the hand before explaining in a serious tone, "I helped Zhen Manni up, but...I never thought of her as a woman."

Suzy was stunned for a moment; she was surprised that Minho had actually tried to explain things to her. So, she was also not in her right mind as she asked, "Then, who do you think of as a woman?"

Minho let go of Suzy and replied, "My daughter..."

Suzy glared at Minho for a second before opening the door and stepping out of his car.

Minho gave a slight laugh as he waved goodbye to Suzy before driving away from the apartment.

As for Suzy, although her anger hadn't been completely subdued, at least Minho explained himself to her.

However, it was quite tiresome to tread lightly around each other...

Meanwhile, she couldn't help thinking about the classmate that introduced her to Brott. Did she do it on purpose, or not?

If it was on purpose, then she was quite a conniving person.

In the end, Suzy decided not to tell Jennie about how the 'potential date' had turned into an interception by Minho. She wanted to keep it to herself...

...

The next morning at Hyatt Regency.

Whenever Jennie had no jobs scheduled, she would personally pick out clothes for Lisa.

So, at this moment, Lisa was standing practically naked in front of the wardrobe mirror as Jennie brought him one outfit after another.

Lisa ended up wasting half an hour on this. But, seeing Jennie's expression of enjoyment, he decided to dotingly comply.

"I have something to do tonight, afterward I will head directly to the banquet from there. Jisoo will come pick you up so we can meet at the entrance and head in together."

Jennie was in the middle of helping Lisa do up his buttons. Seeing Lisa's perfect body, she couldn't help but be reminded of his scrawny opponent. Although she didn't want others to see her husband's body, if one single glance could guarantee instant victory, it wouldn't be much of a loss, right?

Lisa lowered his head and looked at the expression on Jennie's face. Actually, Jennie didn't need to say anything for him to already know what she was thinking...

He was well experienced at witnessing his lover being insulted. Every time it happened, he'd feel like spewing up blood from all the vented up anger. It was because of this understanding that he didn't want Jennie to suffer because of him.

"All good?"

Jennie nodded her head as she stood on her tiptoes and placed a habitual bite on Lisa's shoulder. This was a secret gesture between the couple. Regardless of whether Jennie was happy or sad, she would bite him like this.

At the same time, regardless of whether Lisa was hurt inside or not, it would not show on his face. He simply pulled Jennie into his embrace and placed a kiss on her forehead before putting on his jacket and leaving their home in a satisfied manner.

Jennie stood by the window and watched as Lisa's car pulled away. She placed her hand upon her racing heart. She didn't understand why, even after so long, as long as she was with Lisa, her heart rate would increase like they were still newlyweds.

As she turned around, Jennie spotted the entertainment newspaper sitting on top of the table. As she thought about the shamelessly boastful Johnny Suh, she felt slightly unhappy.

Tonight, he was Lisa's opponent. As for Jennie, her competition tonight were the model twins.

However, to Jennie, she didn't expect much from them.

The meeting this time was aimed at calling a truce between the two parties, so it was expected that the media would be present. But, according to the Lisa that Jennie knew, he would definitely get revenge before calling a truce.

So, she suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for tonight's meeting. But, as the thought of Lisa's second uncle came to her mind, she felt a little anxious.

That afternoon, Jennie was getting ready at home when Rosé brought over some news to Hyatt Regency, "Jennie, I heard people from the gay social circles have been making phone calls to Manoban Entertainment. This is all because of that jerk from Star King!"

"Since you know he is a jerk, then all we have to do is give him a slap in the face. There's no need to feel bothered by him." After speaking, Jennie tried on a simple Qipao.

As soon as Rosé saw her, she froze in awe, "Jenjen, I don't see you wear Qipaos often...it's really beautiful on you."

Jennie was still a little anxious as she adjusted the Qipao on her body, "Do I look too proper?"

"Since you will be meeting an elder, your outfit is just right..." Rosé nodded in approval. "I must say, my brain will always lose to yours. You always make the right choices. The older generation has always been strong on patriotism. With the sight of you, you don't know how nostalgic you will make them feel."

"Would it be too deliberate?"

"You weren't even this nervous when you appeared on the runway of a top brand," Rosé glanced at her and comforted, "You honestly look perfect."

This time, even Lisa didn't expect Jennie to wear a Qipao. Even though he knew his wife was always switched on.

...

7pm. The sky was dark while snow drifted from the skies.

Inside the high-class venue, the Suh family and Lisa's second uncle had already arrived on time. As for Lisa, he was running about 10 minutes late.

Second Master Manoban quickly explained, "Because of the snow outside, I heard there is quite a bit of traffic. That's why he is late."

Father Suh smiled casually, "That's a common issue. I don't mind waiting for a little."

On this occasion, Johnny did not bring his flirtatious model twins, he simply stood around looking impatient. He knew deep down that Lisa was deliberately late and wanted to make them wait.

Inside the banquet hall, apart from the two families, there was also a whole heap of reporters standing at the entrance. This entire banquet was just for show and Johnny felt he had merely spoken the 'truth'; Lisa was 32-years-old and had never been with a woman, who knew whether he was really interested in men?

Quarter past seven, Jennie wrapped herself in a black coat and arrived at the high-class venue with Jisoo.

Lisa had also just arrived. As soon as he saw his beloved wife, he grabbed her hand and hooked it on his arm, "Don't be nervous. In a moment, I'll do all I can to please you."
