MR. Jeon, The Heart Bandit | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 50

Blankly, Lisa raised her right hand.

She had slapped Tzuyu so powerfully that palm was red, leaving her pained and itching.

There was heartache in Jungkook's eyes. "Doesn't hurt?"

"Huh?"

Jungkook's gaze was searching with a trace of overwhelming affection. "Should I blow it for you?"

....Had he lost his mind?

Lisa almost refused by reflex as Jungkook began to lower his head, but quickly smiled blissfully when she caught Tzuyu's murderous glare in the corner of her eye.

"Yeah!" She nodded and pouted. "It's like her face is metal....it hurts so much...."

She was going to annoy Tzuyu to death! Oh, yeah!

Jungkook paused then. Before this, Lisa would be acting like a wild kitten baring her claws to scratch her victim, but suddenly she was acting girly instead.

That was the first time he saw her she acting spoiled. Her plump lips resembled something ripe for the plucking it was soo cute.

His stomach tightened, the impulse to trample all over her rising within him.

However, he expected that she would walk all over him instead. And she did threaten before to end his manhood....

Instead, he smiled and gently tap her cute nose. "Be nice. Leave that to me next time"

His curving brow and eyes stirred gentle waves in her heart, while his thin lips arced beautiful like a cresent moon over the night sky.

Lisa was caught in his charms once more.

That part, Tzuyu almost died from not breathing. Her mouth hung open while her entire face was fully of envy and disbelief.

She wanted him to help her get even, not be thrown into the muck!

"Jungkook...." She sobbed, her tears flowing freely.

She was unaware that Jungkook was most irritated by crying women.

On the other hand, Lisa simply said, "I'll take my leave"

She had great timing and clearly sensed that Jungkook was about to get down to business.

Jungkook watched her leave until she was gone out of sight. There was a softness in his gaze one second, and iciness the next.

Even his voice was sub-zero.

"Come with me"

****

In the reception room, Tzuyu was about to throw herself in the seat beside Jungkook, but his cold glare startled her and left her scuttling to the opposite seat.

"Jungkook, why have you asked for me?"

Her posture, with her legs tightly closed, her hands tugging at the hem of her own skirt and biting her own lips in anticipation was not a force any man could resist.

But Jungkook did not even glance at her.

"I gave you a chance, Tzuyu"

"Jungkook....what did I do? I've done nothing!"

"How do you think an artist who can't perform would end up?" Jungkook smiled so coldly, that her heart thumped loudly.

"Jungkook, are you going to smother my career?"

"Not quite"

Tzuyu breathed a sigh in relief, but Jungkook grinned vaguely. "I'm just the kind of person who likes to give others a taste of their own medicine"

Tzuyu did not seem to catch the hint, and began to cry again. "Jungkook, what have I done wrong? I really did not do anything, so please don't treat me like this, okay? Couldn't our relationship withstand a mere someone like Lisa"

Jungkook furrowed his brow. "Who is this person who has feeling for you?"

Believing that her one-sided love was reciprocated....was she not fantasizing a little too much?

"I don't believe you. You wouldn't have agreed to marry me if you didn't have feeling for me!"

It appeared that Tzuyu had quite the stubborn streak. Jungkook found it repulsive to remain in the same room with her, and even questioned how he could stand her existence before.

He swiftly stood up, turned and left without a moment of pause.

"Jungkook!"

Tzuyu trued to give chase, but was stopped by Bang Chan.

He paused for a moment, before coldly saying. "Just a reminder: It's in your best interest to nit provoke President Jeon's woman"

President Jeon's ....woman?

She was his woman once too!

"Are you talking about Lisa?" Tzuyu gritted her teeth while clenching on her own skirt.

Bang Chan did not answer her question. "All you have to know is that President Jeon has prepared a great gift for you tomorrow, and you should watch yourself"

Tzuyu felt as wretched as being humped by a dog at Bang Chan's words.

When she was still Jungkook's fiancee, Bang Chan was as obedient as a husky. Now that she was not, he was an utter snob.

Unacceptable!

Tzuyu glared at him. "You don't have the right to speak to me like that!"

Where did he even rank? He was no more than a wage slave. What was he being smug about?

Bang Chan lowered his head impassively. "Certainly, I don't have the right to speak in this manner with the great Miss Tzuyu"

Tzuyu instantly regained some composure at those words, with her expression softening as well.

However, Bang Chan added, "However that is what President Jeon has instructed me to say. You should take it up with him if you're upset"

That tone....so lowly and in need of a beating.

Tzuyu felt as if her chest was about to explode in unvented indignation.
