I'm Secretly Married to a Bigshot [ JenLisa adaptation ]

Chapter 28

“Thank you.” Jennie gestured to the door. “I shan’t walk you out.”

Krystal pursed her lips and glared at her for a full minute before finally taking her leave.

…

When the door closed, Jennie wasn’t sleepy anymore.

She wasn’t in the mood to sleep after Krystal bothered her like that.

Although she didn’t care much about Krystal herself, it was still upsetting to be targeted and attacked this way.

This interaction with Krystal completely changed Jennie’s impression of her.

She’d already sensed Krystal’s unfriendliness towards her during the meal before. But with the others around, Krystal acted rather normally.

She hadn’t acted overboard.

But just now…

That sense of overpowering jealousy and mean words really ruined her image as a rich girl.

Although she didn’t scream like a shrew, that jealous look on her face was awful.

Even if her background was good, and her looks were nice, the way she presented her bitter envy really looked bad on her.

Thinking about how this was all because of Lisa, Jennie couldn’t help but feel upset at him too.

This was his fault, why was she the one who had to bear the brunt of it?

In this moment of unhappiness, she sent a text message to Lisa: [Men are all pigs, hmph.]

…

Lisa was in the study room when he heard his cell phone vibrate. When he saw that it was a text message from Jennie, he immediately opened it.

It read: [Men are all pigs, hmph.]

Lisa was speechless.

He didn’t understand what she meant and quickly replied out of curiosity: [?]

Jennie responded instantly too: [Lisa, tell me, do you like me?]

Lisa was slightly stunned by her question.

He read the message from her over and over again, wondering why she would ask such a question.

He’d probably wondered for too long, for Jennie sent in another reply impatiently: [Forget it, you don’t have to answer me. Take it that I didn’t ask.]

Lisa furrowed his brows.

He asked: [Are you alright?]

Jennie: [I’m fine, it’s nothing. Carry on with your work, don’t bother about me.]

Lisa eyed his cell phone for a few seconds and then turned towards his unfinished document. He shut his laptop and walked out the door.

He found that something was off with Jennie.

She should be asleep by now.

But she’d sent him a message instead. And a strange one at that.

He was worried.

When he opened the door, he saw Uncle Zhang standing outside with his hand reaching out, as if he was about to knock on his door.

“Second Young Master.” Uncle Zhang quickly greeted him.

Lisa nodded and asked, “Uncle Zhang, is anything the matter?”

Uncle Zhang nodded. “Second Young Master, I just saw Miss Krystal coming out from your and Young Madam’s room. Miss Krystal didn’t look too good. I’m worried that she and Young Madam might have had a conflict, so I came to inform you.”
