Avoiding The Male Lead-2

.........

Sheng Eunha hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Then, she looked up bitterly at him and called out, “Mr. Jeon.”

As soon as that unfamiliar greeting was let out, Sheng Eunha’s eyes turned red. They couldn’t go back anymore, they really couldn’t.

Her Jungkook had long drifted further and further away. His heart was no longer with her at all, nor did his gaze pause on her anymore. Even the simple glance from before was something she was unable to keep.

Sheng Eunha, you’ve lost. You’ve really lost to Xin Lisa. Even if this world had been created for you and Jungkook from the start, you still lost!

When Jungkook saw how pitiful she looked, biting her lip, he lost his temper instead. “Miss Sheng, please speak up if you have anything to say.”

Sheng Eunha paused for a moment. Once she managed to swallow that lump in her throat, she began softly, “I went to see Ji Eun. She told me that this world doesn’t really exist. It’s just a book she wrote. You and I are the male and female leads in this world, but because of Xin Lisa, the orbit of this world had a dramatic change. So, Kook-ah, Xin Lisa isn’t even the real Xin Lisa at all!”

Jungkook listened as she spat that all out while still retaining the air of a gentleman. Once he heard her shouting the name “Kook-ah”, he raised his brow slightly and his pupils darkened. Sheng Eunha immediately understood what went wrong and corrected herself, “Mr. Jeon…Everything I said is true!”

“Heh, if what you say is true, does that mean what Ji Eun says must be true as well? Sheng Eunha, you admit that you’ve been in contact with Ji Eun, do you? So does that mean you’re also involved with the things she did?”

“No!” Sheng Eunha cried out immediately. “You have to believe me! Jungkook, please!”

“Do you think I would have ended up investigating Ji Eun if I weren’t suspicious of you?” Jungkook stood up. “If you wish to continue on this madness with Ji Eun, then you better think about the consequences. As for what you said earlier, I don’t want to hear it a second time. I also do not want to hear it from anyone else. Miss Sheng, I hope your intelligence will not be dragged away by that imprisoned Shi Shi. You better watch yourself.” After he finished speaking, Jungkook got up.

Sheng Eunha quickly got up and chased after him, pulling his sleeve. “Jungkook, is it really impossible between us?”

“It’s impossible.”

His response to her was definite.

Sheng Eunha let go. She covered her face with her two hands and cried, sobbing so hard that she was no longer coherent.

Gone, gone, everything is gone! She really couldn’t get Jungkook back anymore.

Sheng Eunha cried her heart out, but she had no idea that a young man in a blue suit was watching the two of them from the railings on the second floor, nor the fact that his gaze never left Sheng Eunha’s person.

Not far away from him was Xin Lisa with her hair in a bun, dressed in a white shirt and a black pencil skirt.

Xin Lisa had invited Mo Bei to meet with her so they could talk about the show. Halfway through, he came out to pick up a call. Seeing that he had not returned despite waiting for quite a while, Xin Lisa told his assistant she was going to the bathroom but did not expect to see him leaning halfway over the railing, staring fixedly at a certain area downstairs, seeming extremely immersed.

Among crowds, he always seemed to stand out. Without the need to look for him deliberately, she could still notice his traces at first glance into a crowd.

Xin Lisa was also looking curiously at where Sheng Eunha were. Except, unlike Mo Bei, her posture was clearly more relaxed, and her expression was also not as tight as his.

From what she could see, Sheng Eunha had likely come seeking out Jungkook to talk about the old times, then tried to find a way to pull Jungkook back after that. However, jungkook must have shown no pity to the fairer sex and made the beauty cry.

Xin Lisa couldn’t help but shake her head. She had to make Jeon Jungkook sleep in the guest room tonight! Who asked him to accept her appointment?

After Mo Bei’s complex gaze lingered on Sheng Eunha who was sobbing with her shoulders shrunken for a moment, he finally said, “Host Xin, does this scene make you happy?”

These words were filled with an explosive taste.

Xin Lisa came back to her senses. To him, Sheng Eunha was someone he was afraid of doing wrong even if he cared for her in the palm of his hand. Thus, she quickly put away her smile and responded simply, “My apologies, Mr. Mo, I do not have any intentions of feeling happy over someone’s misfortune.”

Mo Bei stood there without moving and only turned around to look at her. “Even if you wish to, you have no right to do it.”

Xin Lisa smiled and explained, “I am only smiling about something else, I have no intentions of making fun of Miss Sheng. As for being happy over someone’s misfortune, I’m very sorry but I really do not have that intention.”

“So, Miss Xin, how does it feel to see your fiance still entangled with his ex?”

“Jungkook had no ex.” Xin Lisa corrected him, “He has never been together with her officially. If we had to name someone an ex, I would be the only possibility.”
