The atmosphere in the airport was not looking good. Many of Jennie's fan club members were 'jenlisa fans'. But, Johnny had posted up the photos just before they boarded their flight. After the issue was left for 11 hours to ferment, Beijing airport was not an easy place for Jennie to get through. Especially when she walked out of the same terminal as both Lisa and Johnny...

But, it seemed, Lisa was well prepared. He covered Jennie and directly weaved Jennie through the crowd. By the time the crowd noticed, he had already escorted Jennie to the exit of the terminal. The people from Manoban Entertainment immediately stopped their car in front of them and the couple quickly stepped aboard. Before they were sucked into a black hole of cameras, the car turned around and drove out of the airport.

On the other hand, Johnny was stuck at the exit.

Faced with the reporters' questioning, Johnny chewed his gum disdainfully as he ignored them.

"President Suh, what relationship do you have with Jennie? Is it convenient for you to reveal it to us?"

"President Suh, were you and Jennie on a date?"

"President Suh, can you just comment a little on the incident?"

"President Suh..."

After noticing a reporter being knocked over by the surrounding crowd, Johnny stopped in his track, took off his sunglasses and finally turned around, "What you saw is the truth, I have no comments."

The reporters were stunned...

Was Johnny admitting to their claims?

Was he admitting that he was in a relationship with Jennie?

But, how was this possible? Jennie had Lisa beside her and everyone was well aware of the relationship between Manoban Entertainment and Star King. Although the two agencies weren't at the stage where only one could be left standing, they also weren't on good terms.

Johnny observed the reporters' and was pleased with their reactions. So, he let out a laugh as he put his sunglasses back on.

Under the cover of the airport security, he quickly left Beijing airport, leaving behind the dazed reporters who could only look at each other questioningly...

"Can Johnny's words be trusted? When has this spoilt heir's words been trustworthy?"

"Exactly! President Manoban hasn't said anything. What President Manoban says is the truth."

"But, the problem is, we can't even get the chance to see President Manoban!"

...

Jennie never expected, in the short 2 days that she was away from the country, she would return to the 'spectacle' she had just witnessed. As soon as she turned on her phone, it was overwhelmed with calls from Rosé and Suzy; both questioning her about the incident with Johnny. They wondered what kind of a spell she had been put under.

Rosé even asked whether she had cheated on Lisa.

Of course, Jennie was well aware that this was only a joke...

However, because her phone was on loudspeaker, Lisa heard Rosé's question and immediately grabbed the phone from Jennie's hand, "Even if it's just a joke, you should understand your limits."

Rosé nearly jumped out of her skin in fright, suddenly realizing that her words may have made Jennie uncomfortable. So she explained, "I didn't mean it that way."

"It's OK," Jennie retrieved her phone and comforted Rosé. She then looked at Lisa and asked, "Did you already know about this in advance?"

Lisa looked at Jennie in seriousness as he said in a slightly fierce tone, "What do you think?"

"I'm not sure," Jennie replied. Although she was aware that asking Lisa a question like this at this time would make Lisa uncomfortable, she had also promised she wouldn't keep anything from him.

"Jennie, I am not a God. I can't predict everything that is going to happen..."

"Over the past two days, I felt like I was in a lost state. My train of thought couldn't catch up to yours at all. This is why I had to ask," Jennie explained. "I can't catch up anytime soon and I don't want to sit around and wait..."

"I thought, even if I don't speak, at least our thoughts could be the same."

"At least, in front of outsiders, I want to be able to give the same response as you so they can tell that we are one unit."

Lisa took a deep breath. The slight bit of anger he felt had now dissipated. He hugged Jennie and explained, "If I had known Quan Ye was going to do this, I would have made it so he couldn't return to Beijing and cleanly gotten rid of him once and for all."

"I didn't protect you well enough."

"I think you are saying these words a bit too early," Jennie suddenly smiled, "I refuse to believe that you won't find a solution. I refuse to believe that you sent bodyguards after me just to simply guarantee my safety."

"Plus, we have always acted covertly, President Manoban."

Lisa also smiled as he lay Jennie's head on his thighs and ran his fingers through her ink-black hair, "What should I do? Previously, I could tolerate people saying one or two bad things about you, but these days...I can't stand to even hear one word."

"But, I'm already used to it..." Jennie replied gently. "From now on, every decision you make, you must tell me about it."

"In that case, if I was tell you that I expected Johnny to do something like this a long time ago, would you start an argument with me?"

"Likely," Jennie nodded, "We are two people that have been together for some time. Now that we understand each other more, we are bound to disagree on some things."

"After asking that question, I feel a little regretful. Ultimately, I put my own heart through pain."

Lisa lowered his head and looked at Jennie. In actual fact, he too would have answered the same way.

However, this was the Jennie that made him feel a sense of reality. Because she was honest and truthful.

"The bodyguards that were following you had pinhole cameras on them. After they discovered someone was stalking you and taking photos, they immediately contacted me. But, because the person following you didn't stick around for long and didn't make any rash moves, the bodyguards did not report on it any further."

"Mrs. Manoban, I was merely aware that Johnny sent someone to follow you. Who would have thought that he actually wanted to create fake evidence..."

"Do you have a video recording?" Jennie held onto this point.

"I need to confirm once we get home. But, the footage of you strolling on your own is definitely complete," Lisa replied.

Jennie let out a laugh; her mood was a lot better, "Do you want to take this opportunity to announce our relationship?"

"Because of Johnny? He's not worth it..."

Lisa was waiting for Hua Rong to make a move. Were they going to extort them or did they have other intentions? Lisa hoped they wouldn't take too long.

"Then let's unleash your strength and play with that b*stard."

"Do you think I should?"

Did Johnny consider who's woman he was messing with?

Of course, before Jennie closed her eyes, she said one last thing, "I feel disgusted having my name next to his."

"Understood."

Jennie did not hear this last word from Lisa. Even if she heard it, she would not understand the deeper meaning behind it. Because, from the moment they returned home, Lisa had already instructed Minho to release photos of him and Jennie that the public had never seen.

This suggestive action made the 'Jenlisa fans' overjoyed.

Lisa and Jennie's names quickly flew to the top of search rankings and overshadowed the photos Johnny had posted on social media.

As well as this, Lisa also gave Minho a phone call, "Keep mine and Jennie's name at the top of search rankings..."

"If Jennie sees this, she will feel a lot better."
