Avoiding The Male Lead-2

...........

After Jungkook emphasized for the third time that he would not be sleeping in the guest room, Xin Lisa no longer wanted to deal with him.

He did not wait for her to respond either. Either way, no response means a yes by default.

Jungkook started up her car, and only then did Xin Lisa remind him, “What about your car?!”

“I can just wait for Assistant Wang to come deal with it.”

Huh, fine. Whatever makes you happy.

Xin Lisa adjusted herself on her seat and looked out the window, letting her mind wander. With Mo Bei’s attitude today, it was unlikely for him to agree to be on the show. It’s likely that she will have to re-plan the show again tonight.

Xin Lisa was absorbed in her thoughts, having no idea at all that Jungkook who was driving inattentively had been glancing over to her several times without leaving any trace.

By the time she finally caught him looking at her, she asked craftily, “What’re you looking at me like that for?” What’s with this situation? Is he going to talk or not?

Jungkook clutched the steering wheel leisurely and said, “The reason why I met up with Sheng Eunha was because she went to see Ji Eun several days ago.”

When Xin Lisa heard this, a frown emerged on her brow.

Jungkook caught those subtle movements and smiled, asking, “Is there something you want to say to me?”

Xin Lisa looked at him seriously and pondered deeply on it.

Jungkook raised the corners of his mouth silently. “There’s something I’ve actually always wanted to ask you.”

Xin Lisa seemed to be able to guess what he wanted to ask, so she brought it up first. “About me?”

“Yes.”

“Actually, I’ve always been thinking about whether I should ask you this, because I can’t be sure. How would you react if I asked you? That’s why I never asked after so long.”

Jungkook went on and said, “After Ji Eun was taken into custody, I had Assistant Want collect all the videos on the scene. Later, I found many of what Ji Eun had to say quite shocking. I’m not going to hide it from you, but I know everything about what she said to you when you went to see her as well.”

Xin Lisa’s gaze changed. So, after her meeting with Shi Shi last time, that captain sent him a copy of the recording as well?

“Why? Do you not trust me or what?”

Jungkook explained, “Many of Shi Shi’s actions are beyond our logic, but every time she sees you, she seems to become very agitated. Moreover, she only targets you. I’m just worried about you.”

Xin Lisa shook her head. She said, “So you met Sheng Eunha today because she found out from Ji Eun that I’m not the original Xin Lisa?”

“That’s right.”

“It’s true, I’m not her. You should be clear about that as well. However, the reason why I didn’t want to tell you that is because I think that statement is too ridiculous. I live in another world, so all the people I know in this world are from the contents of a book I’ve read before transmigrating here. I accidentally fell down the stairs while going down and hit my head. By the time I woke up, I was already in this world. Jungkook, I know about all of you inside this world, and I also know how the story of this world is going to develop. That was why I tried to escape at the very beginning.”

When I tried to stay far away from you, I was only worried that I would destroy myself once I get close.

Jungkook’s gaze moved slightly, motioning for her to continue.

“I don’t know from when Ji Eun became the author. In this world, I am not the only person possessing Xin Lisa’s body. She is the same. She wrote this book, but I don’t know why she turned into that. After thinking about it, the only possibility is because of me being in this world. She knows me and even hates me to no end. Otherwise, why would the supporting female lead have the same name as me? And she even ended up in a tragedy.”

Even though Jungkook could guess a few things from the dialogue between them, hearing her admit it herself still felt a little strange.

“So, what is the ending in the book?”

Xin Lisa smiled. “You and Sheng Eunha got together, and because of an accidental miscarriage of your first child with Xin Lisa, you got angry and made the Xin family perish. Meanwhile, because Xin Lisa ended up getting married to that scumbag, she finally died on the day she was caught with another man.”

After some thought, Jungkook understood. “So, that Lin Xukun is the man she ended up marrying at the ending of the book?”

Xin Lisa nodded.

Jungkook no longer had anything to say. He just looked forward.

If they had to talk about this, then it’s better to make everything clear all at once. Xin Lisa went on, “The timeline in the book stops two years after your marriage. You had a child with Sheng Eunha.”

Jungkook was silent.

She continued, “I don’t know how much of what Ji Eun said is real, and how much of it is fake. If this world really is as she says, stopping two years after you get married, does that mean we only have two years of happiness together?”

“That won’t happen.” Jungkook was certain. “This world is real"
