The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife | Book 2

204.Hyunjin Is Back

“Madam!” The butler called out with a smile, “look who’s here!”

Lisa subconsciously turned her head, and her eyes lit up. She couldn’t help but laugh in surprise, “Grandma!”

“Grandma, you’re here!” Hearing the commotion, Jieun cheered, “that’s great! We’re all celebrating the new year together!”

“Hello, grandma,” Tzuyu and Yeonjun greeted Grandma obediently. The lively atmosphere made grandma smile so much that she couldn’t close her mouth. She pulled Tzuyu and the others along and nodded.

Lisa smiled as she tilted her head to look at Jungkook standing at the side. “Didn’t you say you work overtime at the company? Why did you bring grandma back?”

“I’m trying to please my wife,” Jungkook’s pitch-black pupils reflected the falling snow outside the window as he smiled. “I hope you will remember to give me more rewards in the New Year.”

Lisa lifted her head and looked into his eyes. Her heart moved. At this moment, the door was pushed open. After not seeing him for a few months, righteousness replaced the arrogance on Hyunjin’s face. Even when he returned home, his back was still straight, and he walked with an awe-inspiring presence. However, the moment he saw Lisa, a broad smile bloomed on Hyunjin’s solemn face. He called out, “Sister-in-law!” A moment later, he looked at Jungkook and greeted him, “Brother.”

Jungkook glanced at his younger brother, who had almost been reborn. The young man who used to fight and had Assistant Chen go to school every few days to deal with the teacher had grown up. His posture was upright and full of righteousness. He nodded in satisfaction.

Tzuyu let out a low cheer and ran over to stand in front of Hyunjin. “Brother, you’re back!” She eagerly took the coat and walked around Hyunjin.

Jieun and Yeonjun also came over and called out, “Brother.”

Hyunjin first patted Tzuyu’s little head, then opened the suitcase to take the presents and handed them out. After receiving the New Year Presents, Tzuyu and the others were very happy. They excitedly surrounded their grandmother, who had also received the presents, and opened them together.

After receiving the last small gift box, Hyunjin paused for a moment. He grabbed it in his hand and walked in front of Lisa. His throat tightened. “Sister-in-law.” After not seeing her for half a year, their sister-in-law was still beautiful and bright. When she looked at him, it calmed his mind. After experiencing the baptism of gunfire and blood, his heart suddenly calmed down at this moment. With the fragrance of the dishes in the air, Hyunjin subconsciously loosened his straight posture. He opened his hands and revealed the box in his hand. There was a rare bit of shyness on his face. “Sister-in-law, this is my gift to you.”

Hyunjin was a little nervous. He looked carefully at Lisa. Hyunjin was clearly taller than Lisa by more than half a head, but Hyunjin always had a pitiful look on her face. He was like a puppy waiting for praise.

Lisa looked at him silently before opening the gift box. Inside was a small tank made of bullet shells. The craftmanship was a little rusty, and the base was slightly unstable.

“This… this is not worth much,” Hyunjin, who would not be nervous even in the face of a life and death situation. Suddenly, he felt uneasy as he carefully said, “I made this myself. They are all bullet shells that I have used before. I, I have a few days of vacation this time. If sister-in-law doesn’t like it, I will go buy other gifts for her in a few days.” At the end of his sentence, he felt a little dejected. He knew that the things he made were a little ugly.

A person as exquisite as his sister-in-law should be treated well. They should give her the best things in the world. However, these bullet casings were from Hyunjin’s gun during his first battle on the battlefield. The first thought that came to his mind when he held them in his hands was to give these bullet casings to his sister-in-law.

Lisa carefully weighed the small model in her hand. After more than half a year of living, the thin calluses on Lisa’s fingertips had faded away. Her white fingers became more delicate, and she did not fit in with this cold small tank model.

The glow in Hyunjin’s eyes gradually dimmed. He felt that he was so stupid and didn’t know what gift to give her.

“You made it yourself? I like it very much,” Lisa finished looking at it. A bright smile blossomed on her face. She didn’t force herself to hold the model in her palm. “Later, get someone to make a display cabinet for me and put it in my room. I want to put it in the middle of the display cabinet.” The first thing Hyunjin gave her was the spoils of the war he joined. How could she not like it?

Lisa hugged the little tank and looked at it lovingly. She couldn’t bear to let go.
