68 More heads are better than one (2/2)

”You…” Han Jie was furious. Her face was red from embarrassment, but she could only send a murderous stare at Han Jun's way.

Suddenly a hand wiped her eyes as if removing the glare. It was Suzuki Kyou's hand. ”What do we suggest we do then?” He asked clearly, not as bothered as the rest.

Han Jie frowned, ”Er… I thought we already decided to go out more? We go on dates, show the press we are a couple before the engagement.”

Suzuki Kyou hummed and smiled at her. ”That can be arranged-.” He said but was cut off as his phone suddenly ringed, indicating an incoming call.

Han Jie smiled, looking forward to the arrangements. She then took a bite of eggs.

While she was eating, Han Feng, Han Jun, and Suzuki Kyou had moved on to another topic, so she felt safe enough to zone out of their conversation. It was always best to let others do it and not involve her when dealing with a problem.

”What is to be done about the writer of the article then?” Han Feng asked Suzuki Kyou drawing Han Jie out of her fantasy land. He asked this as he was not aware that they also decided what to do with the Wang Jin's friend and that lawyers were already in it.

”I'll take care of it.” Suzuki Kyou said quietly.

Han Jun blinked at Suzuki Kyou. He was not happy that his uncle did not get more information from him. 'Was he too lazy to explain of he was dismissing us?' He thought to himself.

Han Feng raised a brow while looking at Suzuki Kyou. He knew Suzuki Corp was powerful, but did he think they were not good enough to help?

He also knew Han Jun had a quick temper and was about to speak rudely to Suzuki Kyou. So he was sending him knowing glances, but the other seems not to notice it.

Han Jun gritted his teeth and was about to make a cutting remark at Suzuki Kyou's supposedly high handedness when Han Jie interrupted him.

”Really? Thank you so much! That is good, and then, we can just stay home, relax and rest, right?” She asked softly with bright eyes while looking at Suzuki Kyou.

When Suzuki Kyou gaze shifted back to her, she chuckled nervously while bringing her napkin up to her nose again.

Han Jun glared at his cousin. He knew it was a smart thing to put it that way, as if they were using Suzuki Kyou as a free labor, but he was angry than 'Han Jie' had said something 'smart' before him.

'Well, she was just her usual self.' Han Jun thought brooding.

Suzuki Kyou continued to look at Han Jie from the minute she had begun speaking to him. Because of this, he had completely missed Han Jun, glaring at his cousin. So complete was his focus on her.

Han Jie started to sweat nervously but showed no outward reaction. 'He was the one who told us he will take care of it. What is his problem now?'

She then cleared out her throat before speaking, ”We can also help you if you want… Well, more heads are better than one.” Han Jie said, but in her heart, she was complaining.

'I want to go out incognito, okay? Can you just fix this on your own, because you are already amazing? I will just reward you with a massage later.' She thought to herself silently but did not have the courage to speak out any of it at all.

Han Feng had opened his mouth to speak when Han Jie spoke again. The idea was there, and it sounds so much better, but Han Feng was sure. He just wasn't sure how Suzuki Kyou would take it from anyone, Han Jie included.

But to their surprise, Suzuki Kyou inclined his head thoughtfully before nodding. ”I'll discuss it with you later when you have the time.” He said, addressing Han Feng briefly before his eyes went back to Han Jie.

Han Jie just blushed and buried her face deeper into the napkin.

Han Feng held in his sigh of relief. His daughter's idea had been good, and Han Feng was suddenly glad Han Jun hadn't blurted out the idea with his usual bite and sarcasm.

'Something happened.' Han Feng suddenly thought as he realized something different. He then looked between his daughter and Suzuki Kyou. Han Feng was suddenly sure that Suzuki Kyou was a good actor or they both cared for each other.
