PRINCESS IS GLAMOROUS IN MODERN DAY (CONTINUATION)

Chapter 197: Ten Thousand Lanterns for You

It was rare for Jungkook to get off work early, so he brought Haru back to the manor.

Jungkook held the little child's hand and disappeared from sight. No one had recovered from the shock of seeing Jungkook.

"I only saw the news last time. So Jungkook's son is really in this school."

"Who would have thought that my son is in the same class as his son? I couldn't tell normally. If not for what happened to Madam Wang last time... Sigh, speaking of that matter, how is the Wang family?"

"I heard that the Wang family hasn't been doing well recently. That Wang Kuan is from the branch to begin with. Why would the main branch of the Wang family care about him? Recently, his company is about to go bankrupt. Cheng Wu, who scolded Jungkook's son, was divorced by the Wang family. She's really living quite miserably now."

"Tsk, they're really bold to provoke Jungkook's son."

"We have to remind our child not to provoke that child from the Jun family. If he gets into trouble, the entire family will regret it."

........

He was delayed in picking Haru up and there was also a traffic jam. By the time he returned to the manor, the sky was already dark.

"You're back?" Lisa had just finished preparing the food and asked the servants to bring it to the table when she saw Jungkook walk in with Haru. "We're just in time for dinner."

"Mommy, did you cook again today?"

After receiving Lisa's nod of approval, Haru cheered and jumped up. "Mommy, I love the food you make the most! The food you make is the best in the world!"

Facing Lisa, Haru had endless praises.

When he sat at the table, Jungkook realized that there was a small bowl of noodles in front of him.

The strong fragrance of the soup rose from the porcelain bowl. The handmade noodles were soaked in the pale-colored soup very alluringly, and there was a chubby egg lying on the surface.

Jungkook was a little puzzled, but the habit he had developed over the past few days was that he could eat up anything Lisa did.

Jungkook immediately picked up the noodles with his chopsticks and was surprised to find that this small bowl of noodles was actually one entire piece. Without any doubts, Jungkook ate the long noodle.

There was not much noodles. After eating the bowl of noodles, the servant served Jungkook rice.

When Jungkook stretched out his chopsticks, he felt that something was wrong.

The dishes today were all my favorite.

Jungkook was not picky about food and was not particular about what he ate. In the past, the chefs in the manor had always provided his meals according to the recipes given by the nutritionist.

Furthermore, very few people in the manor knew Jungkook's true preferences.

Jungkook glanced at Lisa, who smiled. "Try my food and see if it's nice."

He stretched out his chopsticks and tasted them one by one. Jungkook nodded. "It's delicious."

Even the savory flavor was my preference.

A surge of warmth surged into Jungkook's heart, and his eyes turned much gentler.

Haru ate exceptionally quickly that day. Before Jungkook could put down his bowl, Haru quickly put down his chopsticks and ran upstairs.

Not long after, Haru ran down and placed a box in front of Jungkook. He looked a little embarrassed. "Daddy, this is for you. You can look at it when I sleep ~"

Jungkook took the box and acknowledged.

After Haru gave Jungkook something, he thought of the cartoon he had watched in kindergarten.

Only a brat would disturb his parents' private time. I am not a brat, and I am very obedient. Besides, the kindergarten was going to have a spring trip tomorrow, so I have to sleep early and wake up early. Thinking of this, Haru stopped pestering Lisa and obediently followed the nanny to wash up and prepare to sleep.

If it was a normal night, Jungkook would continue working in the study after dinner.

But today, Jungkook felt that Lisa was a little different from usual, so he did not go upstairs but waited by the side.

An hour later, Lisa's phone notification rang.

Lisa clicked on it. "It's ready."

"Let's go out for a walk," Lisa called out to Jungkook, who stood up and followed.

The manor was rather large, and an entire river surrounded the manor.

In the early summer season, the air was filled with the fragrance of plants.

In the past, the manor was always brightly lit. It was a little abnormal today. On the way, the lights were basically dark.

Lisa walked to a limestone slab near the water and stood still. There seemed to be something on the limestone slab, but at night, it was not very clear.

"This is?" The Lisa tonight made Jungkook a little puzzled, and he could not help but ask.

"When I was very young, there was a custom in my hometown." Lisa turned around and looked at Jungkook. "On a person's birthday, if ten thousand lanterns are lit, that person will live a peaceful life."

Lisa sighed. She only knew from the very complete document that Uncle Wang had given her that it was actually Jungkook's birthday today, but she had never heard Jungkook mention it.

Lisa secretly went to ask Uncle Wang. Only then did she know that ever since Jungkook's parents passed away, Old Master Jun was still in charge of the Jun Corporation at that time and had no time to care about Jungkook.

Every year, Jungkook would spend his birthday alone in the huge house. After a few years, Jungkook would no longer celebrate his birthday.

After such a long time, even Jungkook had forgotten which day his birthday was.

When people in the Xia Dynasty celebrated their birthdays, their relatives would usually cook a bowl of longevity noodles and then accompany them to light a lantern to pray for their blessings for their birthday.

There was no time to prepare more things, so Lisa used the method from her previous life to celebrate Jungkook's birthday.

"Happy birthday, Jungkook."

Just as Lisa finished speaking, light suddenly lit up at the bend in the river in front.

Lanterns floated over from afar in rows. There were more and more of them, as if they were endless.

Soon, the river was filled with lanterns. The originally dark night sky became bright under the illumination of these ten thousand lanterns.

Standing on the limestone, Lisa's eyes also became clear. She had a sweet smile and beautiful eyes.

Jungkook didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.

He wanted to hug this person in front of him tightly and embed her in his heart forever, never letting go.

That was what he thought and did.

Lisa was still wondering why Jungkook had no reaction when Jungkook pulled her into his arms.

Unlike the gentleness when he was drunk the last time, Jungkook held her tightly in his arms this time as if he had used all his strength.
