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

Chapter 40

“No!” Jennie quickly said. “It looks good on you.”

The man was a little taken aback. His lips then curled up as he asked once more, “Does it really look good on me?”

“Mm, really!” Jennie stuck out three fingers to show that she was speaking the absolute truth. “You look so good in this, it suits you! Actually, I feel like you can try out other styles. Of course, I’m not saying that you don’t look good in black and white. It’s just…”

She tried to find the words for it and continued, “You’re so handsome, anyway. It’d be such a waste of your looks and figure if you don’t try out other styles.”

Lisa stiffened for a while, his hand holding the cup of coffee suspended in the air. He then broke into an attractive smile and said, “So, you think I’m very handsome and have a good figure?”

Jennie didn’t know how to respond.

“How handsome?” The man leaned in closer and whispered by her ear. “Handsome enough to entrance you? Handsome enough for you to accept me right away so we can start properly dating?”

There was no response.

Jennie suddenly recalled their deal the previous night.

Lisa was supposed to pursue her.

And it was supposed to start today.

They weren’t a couple yet, supposedly.

She’d almost forgotten this.

Since he was supposed to be pursuing her, Jennie had to make things a little difficult for him.

How could she give in so easily?

She teasingly pushed him away and said, “Mr. Manoban, please watch yourself. I haven’t accepted your request yet, so don’t engage in such ambiguous acts.

“Do you know what this is called?

“Harassment.

“It’s a taboo for this period. Girls get turned off by this very easily.”

Lisa was speechless.

Jennie was very amused by his lost expression. “Don’t you forget, you were the one who said you wanted to pursue me yesterday. You’re not to get touchy with me until I’ve accepted you.”

Lisa was speechless.

“Oh, right. Since we aren’t a couple, we shouldn’t be sleeping together too. I’ll get Butler Lei En to move my stuff to the guest room later.”

Lisa was speechless.

He couldn’t hold it in any longer. He furrowed his brows and asked, “We’re sleeping separately?”

Jennie nodded. “Yup. Given our current relationship, it’s not appropriate to sleep together.”

Lisa’s frowned even harder. “I don’t feel like going on with this.”

He felt bad enough that he couldn’t be intimate with her.

Now he couldn’t even share a bed with her?

“You can’t do that.” Jennie was about to burst out laughing. “You have to carry out what you promised. Mr. Mo, do you not have this little bit of patience at all? Or… do you not have confidence in your own charm?”

Lisa looked at her strange act and sighed helplessly. “Then, you have to promise me something.”

“Mm, go on.” She wanted to know what it was.
