Kim Eunji saw in her peripheral vision Darren and Derek was about to step out from the place they were hiding. But Kim Eunji threw a subtle warning signal towards them.

She turned back and raised an eye brow when she saw that Jin Li Rong was smiling evilly towards her.

"Boys! I want her to be completely ruined before the night falls!" Jin Li Rong commanded them.

They were the most notorious thugs in the area. And there were a total of ten people all in all. And seems like the bald man was their leader.

"Yes Lady Jin! Ha! Lady Jin! I can see that this pretty lady here is really pretty! Tsk! Tsk! Miss, if only you use that face for good and not dare seduce Lady Jin's fiancé, you won't be in this situation now. Now! We'll teach you a lesson! Boys, we hit the jackpot!" Excitement was evident in the eyes of the perverted bastard!

However, Kim Eunji remained unaffected and even looked at them with disdain.

"Jin Li Rong, I'm impressed that you're able to let them in despite the heavy security." Kim Eunji commended her. She then turned her attention towards the ugly gang.

She could see them carrying weapons underneath their shirt.

Kim Eunji was not bit intimidated by this kind of threat at all.

"First, do you know the consequences of your actions now? Do you know who I am?" She tried to talk to them which was really unnecessary.

"Miss we don't care who you are! What matters to us is that you did something unfavorable to Lady Jin. Now your fate is on our mercy!" The bald man said.

"Is that so?" Kim Eunji commented.

"Now, if you're going to willingly accept your punishment, we'll make sure that you'll be having a good time as well."

The boys laughed hysterically but before they could even continue their celebration, Iris came in.

"Mistress, what's going on?" Iris asked her.

"Well, someone wanted to ruin me today so that she could take Nathan away from me." Kim Eunji simply explained.

"They're obviously courting death!" Iris seriously said with anger evident in her eyes.

"Can you manage to do this? Just don't kill them. Breaking their bones would be fine. Don't worry, I have enough evidence to prove that this was all self-defense." Kim Eunji asked Iris.

"Don't worry Mistress. I can manage. Please stay on the side and wait for me to be done here. This won't take long." Iris said and started to attack the enemies.

Kim Eunji can defeat them but she didn't want Nathan to worry about her.

And she knew Iris could handle them well.

She looked at Jin Li Rong who was standing on the corner with an angry face looking back at her.

After five minutes, Iris was done beating up the thugs.

The bald man suffered the hardest blow. His frontal teeth were gone because Iris kicked him on the mouth.

They were all groaning in pain and was cursing both Iris and Kim Eunji in their hearts.

Kim Eunji signaled Derek to call the police to arrest them.

Kim Eunji checked Iris if she had suffered any injuries. Someone had a knife and almost stabbed Iris. Good thing she had fast reflexes as well.

Aside from minor scratches on her arms from blocking their attacks, Iris didn't have any injuries in her body.

She looked at Jin Li Rong who was glaring at her with hatred. Her minions were also the same. They could not believe that Iris would be able to defeat them easily.

"I won't let you get away with this." Kim Eunji said her parting words as she left the scene with Iris walking beside her.

Out of frustration and anger, Jin Li Rong pick up a stone and threw it towards Kim Eunji's leaving back. The stone was big enough to knock Kim Eunji unconscious if hit in the critical spot.

Iris managed to push away Kim Eunji and luckily avoided being hit by it. But unfortunately for Iris, she wasn't lucky as the stone hit her shoulder.

"Iris!" Kim Eunji yelled in panic and rushed towards her.

"It's okay Mistress, I'm fine." Iris said while holding her shoulder.

Kim Eunji's aura changed as she looked at Jin Li Rong. Slowly, she took a step towards her making the latter to back away.

"Wh-at are yo-u doing? Help!" Jin Li Rong suddenly became terrified as she looked at Kim Eunji's terrifying aura.

Kim Eunji grabbed her arm and held it tightly. Her grip tightened which made the latter to yelp in pain.

However, the pain didn't end there as the next thing she felt was the stinging pain on her left cheek.

**Pah!***

Kim Eunji slapped Jin Li Rong hard. Jin Li Rong didn't fall as Kim Eunji didn't let go of her arm.

"That was for trying to hurt me and this—" *Pah!* "—was for hurting Iris."

"And last but not the least—" *Pah!* "—for trying to take my husband away from me!"

She then harshly let go of Jin Li Rong's hand which made the latter to stumble on the ground. Tears were already streaming down her face.

Kim Eunji then took her phone from her pocket and called someone.

After the first ring, the call connected.

"J, your dear sister had attempted to harm me by hiring the local thugs in the area outside Imperial Uni." Kim Eunji did not beat around the bush.

Upon hearing J's name, Jin Li Rong stiffened and automatically looked at Kim Eunji.

Kim Eunji hummed then looked at Jin Li Rong and a devil's grin flashed on her beautiful face.

"Of course not! They're not even worthy of my single drop of sweat. I had let Iris to handle them which she successfully did. However, your sister didn't stop there from trying to hurt me. She pick up a stone and threw it towards my direction. Good thing Iris pushed me right on time. But unfortunately, she got injured on the shoulder. So tell me J, how should I punish her?"

A moment if silence passed by and Jin Li Rong was actually trembling.

"Well, I was thinking of bringing her to the police station together with her accomplice. Alright! I'll leave her punishment in your care. But J, I want a satisfactory result tomorrow."

After she was done talking with J, Kim Eunji didn't spare Jin Li Rong any glance.

"What happened to her?" Dr. Amanda asked as she looked at Iris's arms and bleeding shoulder.

"Some people were so tired of living that they wanted to harm me. Good thing Iris was there and stopped them. Saving me for another set of injuries."

Iris let Amanda to treat her wound. Minutes later, Alice came with a worried look on her face.

"I heard what happened. Are you okay?" Alice asked Iris.

"Oh?" Kim Eunji looked at Iris and then at Alice.

"Interesting."

"Mistress. It's not what you think. I..."

"EL, I know this is rush but I like Iris." Alice straightforwardly said.

Kim Eunji didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.

"Follow me?" Kim Eunji asked Alice.

Alice kissed Iris's forehead before she followed Kim Eunji outside the infirmary.

"Does she know about your father's arrangement?" Kim Eunji did not beat around the bush.

"She doesn't know, yet." Alice timidly answered.

"How long have you known each other?" Kim Eunji asked as just to clarify.

"Well, we chatted a week before I came here in a dating app. I was surprised to see her as your body guard and eventually we clicked." Alice explained.

You're so unbelievable Alice!" Kim Eunji gasped.

"I know. I tried to suppress my feeling but I just couldn't ignore it. Now, I have more reasons to reject the engagement that father had arranged for me." Alice answered firmly.

"I see. Iris...though I just met her recently, I knew she's a good kid ever since. So please don't keep her on the shadows. Be honest with her. Are you two dating now?" Kim Eunji straightforwardly asked her.

"Not yet. I only told her I like her. I know the kid is still confused. I mean, who wouldn't? But I plan to court her after I settled the things with my supposed fiancé."

Kim Eunji heaved a huge sigh of relief as she learnt that Alice was somehow clear towards her feelings.

"Okay. That's good. Just don't scare the kid. You kind of make her looked troubled back there." Kim Eunji told her.

The two walked inside the infirmary and Iris was looking at her with her guilty eyes.

"Alice already explained the situation so calm down, okay? I think you two should sort it out and let me know the progress. Whatever it is, I'll support you both." Kim Eunji then left to give the two the time they needed.

Evening came and it's time for dinner. The girls, together with Kim Eunji were heading towards the direction of the cafeteria when she saw a familiar silhouette standing near the entrance of the cafeteria. The man was a holding a bouquet of red roses on his hand.

Kim Eunji's heart skipped a beat.

The girls immediately squeal because of how romantic and sweet it was. Nathan slowly took his step towards her while Kim Eunji stood rooted on the ground.

"Tadaima!" Nathan smiled as he uttered the word which meant I'm home in Nihongo.

"Okaerenasai!" Kim Eunji responded which meant welcome home.

Nathan then claimed her soft lips while Kim Eunji could only hold onto the lapel of his suit for support. The kiss was a quick one and it took Nathan a lot of self-control to let go of her. He's afraid that they might not be able to eat dinner as they would end up in their villa eating each other instead.

"I'm hungry." Kim Eunji said as she could already feel her stomach rumbling.

"Alright. Let's eat." Nathan said as he guided her towards his car which was parked not so far away.

"Where are we going?" Kim Eunji asked in confusion.

"Students are supposedly not allowed to go out of campus you know." Kim Eunji added.

"Don't worry." was what Nathan told her.

They were driven towards this Korean restaurant inside the vicinity of the school.

Nathan had already made this arrangement beforehand.

"You really don't have to do this. We could just eat in the cafeteria you know." Kim Eunji said.

"Well, I just want to have a peaceful dinner with you. Is it that bad?" Nathan's response made Kim Eunji to be guilty.

"No, it's not. I'm sorry." Kim Eunji could see the disappointment in Nathan's eyes which made her to feel guilty even more.

"It's okay. I just want to make up with the meals that we have missed." Nathan said softly which made Kim Eunji's heart to break.

Nathan must have been thinking about what had happened that unintentionally hurt Kim Eunji.

"Okay. Then shouldn't we be eating now? I'm really hungry."

Nathan smiled especially when he heard her stomach rumbling. Seems like it was contagious as seconds later, his stomach followed.

The couple burst into laughter as they entered the resto.

The place was empty. Nathan had booked the entire place just for the two of them tonight.

The staff greeted the couple and led them towards the second floor where their table was romantically set-up.

"Thank you." Kim Eunji smiled at him.

"You're welcome wifey." Nathan smiled back.

The two enjoyed their romantic dinner peacefully.

Nathan would always place food on Kim Eunji's plate before he would eat his share.

And Kim Eunji would feed him with her chopstick whenever she could.

After their dinner, the couple went back to their villa.

Nathan had to answer some phone calls from his overseas clients so Kim Eunji decided to take a bath first.

Kim Eunji was soaking in the bathtub when she felt the door creaked open.

Kim Eunji had lifted her injured foot to make sure it didn't contact with water.

She opened her eyes and saw Nathan's naked body walking towards her.

She subconsciously gulped when her eyes drifted South and saw Nathan's arousal.

"Like what you see wifey?" Nathan teased her. She looked away as she tried to hide her red face.

"Why are you naked? Put some clothes on!" Kim Eunji told him which earned a smirk from Nathan.

"Wifey, have you seen a man fully dressed while having a shower?" Nathan reasoned innocently.
