The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 46

Jennie put down the little tortoise and went back to her own room, leaving Lisa alone to bask in his reverie.

Although the night was getting dark, the Woman didn't feel any drowsiness at all. She picked up the tortoise and flipped it upside on its back. Immediately, the tortoise began to wave its little limbs around, clumsy and completely helpless.

Lisa gently tapped his fingers on the tortoise's shell and mumbled absentmindedly, "Who let you be so mischievous? Who let you run around so much? Who let you get lost like an idiot all the time? You got sent back here anyway..." and you brought me such a big surprise too.

she really hadn't thought his confession would be so impromptu, or that the result would be so wonderful—Jennie actually agreed to let her pursue her!

"Little thing, I really should be thanking you for this." Lisa's voice began to soften as she stared amusedly at the struggling tortoise. Finally, she reached out and turned it back over.

If it weren't for this little thing, she probably wouldn't have gotten an opportunity to confess, which in turn gave her an opportunity to pursue his beloved. Lisa really should be feeling thankful towards this little thing.

She decided that if she succeeded in pursuing Jennie, then she would definitely find a partner for the little tortoise and allow it to also live its days in bliss.

.....

The next day, Jennie woke up to find that breakfast was especially rich. She saw not only her favorite steamed buns but also crystal shrimp dumplings, fish balls, and four types of exquisite desserts.

Off to the side was Lisa, showing an expectant stare that made her want to laugh. She thought that she looked like a big dog wagging its tail and waiting for praise.

"It tastes good," she said after tasting the dishes.

Lisa immediately revealed a trace of a happy smile and responded softly, "It's good that you like it."

Jennie raised an eyebrow and didn't reply, but her heart was filled with satisfaction.

She'd once asked the System if his exemplary culinary skills could be considered a secret, and the answer was no. Although it was something that very few people knew about, Lisa's culinary ability was a specialty, not a lifestyle habit.

"Jennie, I'll be going to Brother's company to talk about the business cooperation. Do you want to come with me?" she had just contacted Taehyung to set up a time. Since he had made up his mind to agree, he was quick to start up the process.

"I have a meeting to attend, so I can't." She wasn't worried at all about the cooperation. After all, it was between her own family members.

.....

Assistant Mina accompanied Lisa to the Kim family corporation. By the time they arrived, Taehyung's assistant was already waiting for them at the front desk.

"Ms. Lisa, President Tae has been expecting you. Please follow me to his office," the assistant said respectfully.

Lisa didn't say much. Under the curious and astonished stares of multiple people, she followed the assistant into the elevator.

There was virtually no one who didn't recognize Lisa or know of his fame, especially after she won the Starlight Award and became a household name. His fans were everywhere, even in the Kim family corporation. They'd been expecting Lisa to appear since the news that she was married to Jennie came out.

A few crazy fans had rendered the company's top executives speechless when they suggested making the year-end welfare reward a photo signed by Lisa.

"Heavens, did I just see the real-life version of Great Lisa? Did I go blind, or did my dreams come true?" After the elevator doors slid shut, the receptionist finally couldn't hold her excitement back anymore.

"That was definitely the real one! Aside from my Great Lisa, those handsome facial features and that kingly aura could only belong to my Great Lisa!" another fan exclaimed.

"Didn't you say President Taehyung was yours yesterday? And now it's Great Lisa? Heh, aren't you afraid of Miss Jennie coming to put you in your place?" the pretty receptionist huffed. Why are the all-handsome men yours? They're mine, okay?

"Hey, can you not bring up Miss Jennie right now? I used to think Jennie was the little princess of the Kim family, but over the past few years, she's been getting more and more impressive. She's even more well-known than President Tae! When I saw her last time, she was emanating a cold aura from head to toe. Just thinking about it makes me shiver, and yet our great and impressive Film Empress was able to take her as his wife!"

"Well, I don't think that's right."

"How is it not right?"

"Our great Film Empress is impressive, you're right, but I think she was the one who surrendered and not the other way around. Miss Jennie's skills... tsk-tsk, one word: unimaginable!"

"Hey, stop. Don't chat at work, focus!"

Before long, the news that Lisa had made his first visit to the Kim family corporation spread. The news attracted the attention of not only the company's employees but also people outside of the company. When Sunmi caught wind of it, she turned blue in the face and was said to have smashed everything that could be smashed in her room.

That came to show how big of a deal the visit was. It was a form of acknowledgment, and the result was exactly what Jennie, Taehyung, and Lisa wanted. Now, no one could deny that Lisa was a part of the Kim family.

Inside his office, Taehyung told his secretary to prepare a cup of coffee for Lisa. The two men, who were of different temperaments but equally brilliant, began to chat.

They were both very concise and efficient, so it took only half an hour for the negotiations to be finished. With this, the Kim family's newest tourist resort project welcomed its first partner. The Manoban Company that Lisa founded now stood on the same front as the Kim family corporation.

After the business talk was over, Taehyung led the conversation to a more personal territory, with the focus of the conversation being Jennie, or rather, Lisa and his relationship with Jennie.
