Chapter 1303 What are you afraid of her for?

"Would you like to touch it?"

She looked at Jennie in front of her, her rabbit teeth showing in a grin. She was still the same carefree and supportive person she had been before, and her tone was very natural, as if she was just asking because she cared about her.

But the moment she heard those words, Lim Nayeon felt as if a clear and refreshing stream had suddenly broken through her defenses and flowed through her entire body, washing away her original hot and aggrieved emotions.

All the frustration and resentment found an outlet in this one sentence.

That was absolutely awesome!

Lim Na-yeon is not without a temper. On the contrary, although she looks cute and often behaves childishly, she is not actually gentle and can be quite irritable when she gets angry.

It's just that she's rather timid and mostly in a state of feigned anger. When her temper flares up, she doesn't care about anything else and throws a few tantrums, but she chickens out soon after. Plus, she doesn't hold grudges, so her emotions often come and go quickly.

But today really made her feel terrible. It was supposed to be a birthday celebration, but Jennie had been showing off openly and subtly from beginning to end, especially just now when she was practically blatantly arrogant. She had been feeling very uncomfortable for a while.

She didn't get angry simply because they were friends... but more importantly, she lacked confidence.

Jennie couldn't refute a single point she made; Jennie possessed things she simply didn't. Even if they had a huge fight, what would change besides making her look more pathetic and pathetic?
But now... Lin Na-yeon's back is ramrod straight.

The time has come for the rabbit to borrow the tiger's might!
"Ah ah……"

Upon hearing this, Jennie felt her face and her entire body burning with an indescribable embarrassment that instantly spread to every inch of her skin.

She had said those words to Nayeon herself just half an hour ago, with a sweet and warm smile on her face, looking like she just wanted to share her favorite thing with her best friend.

And now... Lim Nayeon's face has the exact same smile as hers just now, the only difference being that she doesn't have those shiny, bite-like rabbit teeth.

...So what if you have big front teeth? Damn it.

But upon seeing Nayeon's familiar smile, Jennie, already embarrassed, suddenly felt a surge of anger. Her face flushed red, her nostrils flared slightly, and the smile she had been barely maintaining vanished completely.

Even though she was the one who started showing off and subtly criticizing others for a long time, Jennie thought it was perfectly normal. Wasn't that how they always interacted?

Or rather, this is how she interacts with everyone around her, even since she was a trainee.

However, at this moment, Nayeon suddenly gained the upper hand and even retaliated in the same teasy manner. Jennie couldn't stand it anymore and was so angry that she almost turned on her on the spot.

If this were a member of BLACKPINK, or Nayeon who was just feeling resentful half an hour ago, she would have already snapped back without even opening her mouth.

But now... seeing the bag in her hand, and thinking about the relationship between Rabbit Teeth and Chi Jingyuan, her heart tightened, and she felt inexplicably apprehensive.

...She was genuinely afraid of Chi Jingyuan.

Don't be fooled by her boasting and bravado just now; she was only indulging in empty talk in private. In reality, her mother and the senior male colleagues at the company, such as Lee Seung-ri, had all told her that Ji Kyung-won was not someone to mess with, and she had also heard some rumors about him teaching people a lesson.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have shamelessly tried to get close to Chi Jingyuan when he treated her with disdain and ignored her.

But now I'm hesitant to start cursing.

But if she pretended not to hear it, she couldn't swallow her anger.

"Unnie...I..."

Jennie froze, unsure whether to curse or pretend to be dead, feeling incredibly stifled.

"Omo, let me see!"

Just then, Kim Jisoo broke the deadlock. She ignored the two people on the other side and stared intently at the Gengar bag in Lim Nayeon's hand, her eyes shining. She immediately reached out and touched it.

"The leather material feels absolutely amazing!"

As soon as she got her hands on it, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and she became even more enthusiastic as she fiddled with it, her hands exerting a slight force as if she wanted to snatch it from Lim Nayeon's hands.

When Kim Jisoo heard that an assistant had given Lim Nayeon a gift, she didn't really care. But when she heard that it was from Ji Kyung-won, she was a little surprised and curious, since she had never heard of any relationship between the two of them before.

...No, she remembered that a long time ago, Chi Jingyuan was a hater of this rabbit tooth, and he often complained about it to her in private.

So she was just curious about the relationship between the two of them, and didn't have much expectation for the gift.

From her perspective, what kind of gift could she possibly give for a birthday? Besides, she can't even come in person, so it's probably just a polite gesture.

But when she saw this bag... the moment her fingertips touched it, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The ivory-white canvas had a delicate and even texture, not the smoothness of ordinary leather, but a slightly rough yet comfortable feel, cool and luxurious, making her reluctant to let go.

Then there's that huge Gengar logo. To be honest, Jisoo didn't know much about Pokémon before, nor did she have a particular fondness for it, but after seeing this Gengar, she was instantly smitten. She grinned widely, looking mischievous... How could there be such a handsome and cute little creature?

Then there are the custom elements that Cui Zhichang just mentioned, which are full of Lin Nayeon's personal characteristics: the color of the bag's outer leather, the color of the lining, the rabbit zipper, and the tiny rhinestones that make up the number 95...

Unique and unrepeatable?
Aigoo...

She really loves this bag!

Jisoo was absolutely enamored with it; if it weren't for Nayeon eyeing it covetously nearby, she would have had the urge to grab it and run away.

Although a bag is just an item, it is different from other ordinary things for women. The meaning of a bag is different. In a sense, it is a representative of style, emotion and fashion, like a close companion or even an intimate lover.

Kim Jisoo felt a connection with the Gengar bag in front of her, since she also has a rabbit face and was born in 95!
Isn't it too much of a coincidence? Everything seems to have been made just for her!
As for the name 'Nayeon' embroidered in the logo... oh well, so what? She can just change the stitching; she can do it herself.
For a fleeting moment, my heart was filled with love and greed, and I felt a strong urge to possess it.

Fortunately, Kim Jisoo remained rational, especially since the watchful eyes of the rabbit-toothed man beside her never left her, so she suppressed her desires.

But the more I look at this bag, the more I like it.

Unlike Jennie Kim, she believed Jennie Kim must have fallen in love with the bag at first sight... It's really hard for any woman not to like it; the appearance alone is stunning enough, and the special edition completely hits the sweet spot for all women, not to mention the personal elements.

Jennie, however, was embarrassed and put in an awkward position because of her previous arrogance. Jisoo, on the other hand, didn't have this problem and expressed her surprise and envy very enthusiastically.

"This feels so nice to the touch, Nayeon, you should try it!"

"Wow, this is called... Gengar? Kiyo! Look at its laugh, that big lisp, (smirk) hahaha!"

"That bunny on the zipper, with its big grin, really... Nayeon misses you a little~"

"...Hehe, my teeth aren't that big at all!"

Jisoo and Nayeon were enthusiastically examining the bags, chatting and occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise, while Jennie stood awkwardly to the side, unsure whether to move or speak.

However, her attention was drawn to the side, and her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the bag.

She originally thought her paw pad bag was already very impressive, expensive, and fashionable.

But when she saw what Chi Jingyuan had given her, she realized that she was actually the frugal one...

Jisoo was right. Jennie really did fall in love with the bag at first glance, but not because of its shape. It was because of the elements related to Nayeon inside, such as the logo and her signature.

She doesn't even dare to imagine how she would show off a super popular custom-made item covered in her own signature to others...

However, she is actually more embarrassed now, not only because she was counterattacked after her attempt to smear others failed, but also because all the boasts she just made have been proven wrong.

She said that Ji Kyung-won was boring and never made any noise about his birthday, but then he turned around and gave Lim Na-yeon a birthday gift right in front of her, even though he wasn't there and had his assistant deliver it.

She had just shown off her bag when someone immediately gave her an even rarer one, much better than hers.

Are you all in cahoots and doing this on purpose?

She really felt like she had been tricked. Although she was somewhat wary of Chi Jingyuan and didn't dare to say anything, she secretly considered Lim Nayeon the culprit and felt very disgusted with her, feeling like she had been cheated on.

...I never realized that Lim Nayeon, with her buck teeth, was such a scheming woman! What's with that smug look on your face? Those front teeth are so ugly and unfashionable; she might even have slept with Ji Kyung-won~
Just as she was cursing him viciously in her heart, she suddenly heard Lim Nayeon calling her name...

"By the way, how much would this bag be worth if it were sold?" Kim Jisoo asked curiously, admiring the bag.

"I don't know either." Lim Nayeon blinked, unable to contain her curiosity... She herself didn't know how to tell anyone?

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Jennie beside her, chuckled, and asked humbly with a studious look, "Jennie, do you know?"

I know you're a damn ugly rag...

Seeing Xiba Rabbit Tooth's unbearable expression, Jennie Kim finally couldn't hold back anymore. Her anger, which she had decided to suppress, suddenly erupted and she couldn't control it at all.

She stood up abruptly, glared at her fiercely, kicked off the chair, slung her bag over her shoulder, let out a muffled groan, and turned to leave.

"..."

Nayeon seemed not to have expected Jennie's strong reaction, and was startled by the movement of the stool, her head twitching and her whole body shaking.

After Jennie slammed the door and left, the private room fell silent, leaving only two girls with strange expressions.

Jisoo glanced at the closed door, not too surprised... She knew Jennie's temper too well; it was common for her to turn on someone at the slightest disagreement. She even thought Jennie should have gotten angry and left long ago, but she didn't expect her to have endured it for so long.

However, she looked at Lim Nayeon with some surprise in her eyes. She had never known Lim Nayeon for so long, but she never realized that Lim Nayeon had this skill. Every sentence she wrote was deadly.

“Nayeon, you…” She hesitated, unsure whether to praise her or what to say.

"I……"

But Lim Nayeon looked somewhat dejected and innocent, pouting slightly and explaining with a scrunched-up face, "Ani... I just wanted to talk back to her because she really went a bit too far earlier, she kept saying things like that."

"But this sentence... I really wanted to ask her about the price... I didn't know, Jenny is so knowledgeable, she should have known, I just asked without thinking too much about it~"

Although she felt relieved and happy after retaliating, Nayeon's habitual feigned anger backfired when she saw that she had actually angered Jennie and left. She looked back with a slight regret.

"..."

Kim Jisoo stared at her with wide eyes in surprise, and after a long while could only shake her head, making a playful smack with her lips.

She believed Lim Nayeon's words; after all, they had known each other for so long, and she understood Nayeon's personality very well.

But unexpectedly, Jennie Kim, who is well-versed in the art of manipulating people, was so angered by Nayeon, a novice, that she lost her temper and left.

Is it because Lim Na-yeon is a genius? Or is it because of that bag?

...Or maybe it's because of the person who delivered the bag~
"Hey, you tell me..."

After pondering this for a moment with amusement, Jisoo heard a hushed voice beside her. Looking up, she saw Nayeon had moved her chair next to her at some point, looking sneaky and looking worried. She whispered, "Do you think Jenny is really angry? I heard she..."

Jennie Kim is no ordinary idol; she comes from a wealthy family and holds a high position in her company.

Kim Jisoo understood what she meant, but she immediately looked puzzled and asked Lim Nayeon strangely, "You and Ji Kyung-won are such good friends, why are you afraid of her?"

"what?"

Lim Nayeon was taken aback by his words, blinked, pointed at herself, and reacted a little slowly: "Shouldn't I be worried about her?"

Do you even know who Chi Jingyuan is? You're on good terms with him, why are you worried about this? Didn't you see how Nini initially held back her temper after hearing that?
"Nonsense~"

Kim Jisoo nodded matter-of-factly, then rolled her eyes in annoyance, feeling that this bunny-toothed girl was showing off her network of connections and relationships.

She felt that the bunny teeth had become unattractive, so she pouted and snatched the bag from Lim Nayeon's hand in retaliation:
"Let me see your bag again~"

"Still watching?" Lim Nayeon's voice was clearly reluctant as she murmured, "I haven't even watched much of it yet."

"Take a look, don't be so stingy, Nayeon!"

"Okay... but Jisoo, did you wash your hands after you finished eating?"

"No... but I just wiped it with a wet wipe."

"!"

"give me back!"
