Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

Chapter 9: Milk Candy

"Thank you." Lisa's eyes curved into crescents. She did not have any prejudice or fear towards Jungkook, and she treated him just like how she would treat other people.

In this courtyard filled with flowers, Lalisa carried a mystical and indifferent temperament.

To think that Jungkook, who normally would not waste any time at all, was actually killing time in the courtyard.

There had never been so many forms of entertainment in the Great Xia Dynasty. As a result, Lisa could spend the whole day reading quietly. She got someone to bring over the Shakespeare Collection that she found in the study that morning.

The advancement of mankind was not only the advancement of technology but also the development of literature and art. Since she had chosen to take over the acting career of the owner of the body, she had developed an interest in such works.

When he saw the book in Lisa's hand, Jungkook's eyes turned darker. No one could tell what he was thinking.

When Lin Jing rushed over with the pile of documents, he saw Jungkook, who had always only travelled between the office and the meeting room, actually accompanying Lalisa in the courtyard.

The handsome Jungkook was deep and cold, while the magnificent Lalisa was relaxed. Under the sunlight, the two of them seemed especially harmonious.

It shocked the swift and decisive special assistant so much that he tripped when he got out of the car.

Adjusting his glasses, he tidied up the documents in his hands and resumed his meticulous image as a special assistant.

"Young Master, all the documents for today are here."

Other than taking a glance at Lin Jing when he came over, Lalisa did not pay attention to what Lin Jing was doing at all.

"Mm, leave it here. Go back to the office first. You'll be in charge of the meeting later." Jungkook took the document and glanced at Lisa, who was still engrossed in her book.

"Yes, Young Master."

The young master had always hated Miss Xia. 'What has happened in the past two days?' He glanced at the elegant and outstanding Lalisa, who had an unmistakable aura.

Indeed, rumours couldn't be trusted. Lin Jing sighed in his heart. Miss Xia was really different from the rumours.

There was going to be a good show to watch. Lin Jing glanced at Jungkook without batting an eyelid, then glanced at Lisa. The corners of his lips curled up, and he smiled like a fox before quickly leaving the villa.

Unlike what Lin Jing had imagined, Lalisa was too lazy to speak while reading, and Jungkook would never take the initiative to start a conversation with someone.

So the two of them spent an afternoon in the courtyard with a strange type of calmness.

Until the car that brought Haru back appeared at the entrance.

The little dumpling had obtained first place in the kindergarten's Mathematics paper, and the prize was a few candies from the kindergarten's teacher. Children would always give their favourite things to the person they like.

Once the little dumpling received his reward and got into the car, he immediately thought of going home to tell Lisa about the good news, before sharing the candy with her.

As soon as the car came to a stop, the little dumpling opened the door immediately and ran out of the car. However, when he saw Jungkook sitting in the courtyard, his face was immediately scrunched up into a grimace.

Upon hearing the commotion, Lalisa looked up and saw the frowning Haru. It was clear that he was afraid of Jungkook.

She was tickled by how pitiful Haru looked. She waved at the little dumpling, "Haru, you're back."

Haru hesitated between approaching Jungkook, but he thought of his Mommy's warm embrace. Then, he made up his mind and ran towards Lisa.

Jungkook's eyes flashed with displeasure when he saw how anxious the little dumpling was, and he was just about to say something.

By then, the little dumpling had already leapt into Lalisa's embrace. His eyes were filled with a deep attachment to Lisa. Lisa gently embraced Haru, and both of their faces, which had a little resemblance, wore a warm smile.

For some reason, Jungkook couldn't bring himself to blame him anymore.

"Mommy, look. I won first place in arithmetic in kindergarten today. The teacher rewarded me with this." As Haru spoke, he took out a few milk candies from his school bag and handed them to Lisa. The hopeful look in his big eyes practically screamed, 'Praise me.'

Lalisa stroked Haru's head. "That's great!" She put a milk candy in her mouth and fed one to Haru. The sweet and fragrant taste instantly filled her mouth.

Feeling undeniably satisfied, Haru snuggled into Lisa's arms. There was still a candy left in his hand, and he looked carefully at Jungkook.

Perhaps because his mother's presence gave him a sense of security, Haru slowly ventured up to Jungkook and said cutely, "Daddy, this is for you."

Seeing his biological son who had always been afraid of being close to him speak to him so softly, Jungkook felt a rare sense of helplessness.

Upon seeing that Jungkook stayed silent, Haru, who had mustered his courage to go over, hung his head in disappointment and was about to retract his hand.

The milk candy in his hand was gone. Haru looked up in surprise and saw Jungkook holding the milk candy awkwardly. Somehow, the milk candy with the golden monkey printed on it did not match the cold and imposing Jungkook at all.

Lisa burst out laughing. Although Jungkook looked cold and aloof, he actually wanted to treat Haru well. It was just that he did not know how to communicate with children.
