The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife | Book 3

471.Don't Like Old Men

Lisa's every word was clearly for her good, but she retorted sharply, saying that Lisa had a cold heart and had no empathy. Now that she thought about it, Krystal wished she could slap herself because her words were so hurtful.

"Kim Sehun was injured, and Miss Wang was anxious. It's normal for her to lose her sense of propriety for a moment," Lisa's smile did not change. She said plainly, "A few words of anger are nothing. Miss Wang, there's no need to apologize."

Seeing Lisa distancing herself, Krystal's heart clenched. Such politeness and distance made Krystal recall the first time she met Lisa. At that time, she felt that Lisa did not look like someone from the wealthy circle. She was too lively and too ostentatious. The socialites and noblewomen in the circle all confined themselves in a shell. They strictly adhered to the upbringing and etiquette of upper-class society, living like exquisite dolls.

...

However, Lisa was different. She laughed, scolded, and even hit people. She did not beat around the bush or put on a hypocritical smile when she hated someone. But now Krystal felt that Lisa could be like those people. Her standard smile was like a mask carved on her face. No matter her situation, she could maintain harmony on the surface. She was not angry, not sad, nor she cared. It made Krystal feel dejected.

It was as if a hole had been opened in Krystal's heart, and she could not say another word. Seeing that Krystal had no intention of continuing to speak, Lisa looked away and stopped communicating with her.

When Jackson saw this scene, he sighed silently. "Mrs. Jeon, Krystal is not sensible. Young girls are easily blinded by love. Don't take it to heart." As he said this, he looked at Lisa and smiled. "To express my apology, why don't you do me the honor of letting me treat you to a candlelit dinner?" His words were a little frivolous, and the way he looked at Lisa was affectionate.

Jungkook's face instantly turned gloomy. He leaned slightly to block Jackson's line of sight, and his voice was cold. "My wife isn't used to Mr. Wang's way of treating her to a meal."

"Mr. Jeon isn't Mrs. Jeon. How Do I know she doesn't like it?" Jackson looked at Jungkook with a smile and said, "I consider myself a gentleman and considerate. There has never been a female companion who said that it's not good to get along with me." He paused, the smile on his face widened, and he said meaningfully, "All aspects of the experience are outstanding." As he said that, he tilted his head and looked past Jungkook's body at Lisa behind him.

"Don't compare my wife with your women," Jungkook's face darkened. He said mockingly, "Since you want to have dinner with my wife, are you planning on preparing a bouquet of roses and letting the reporters take pictures of you having dinner together?"

Jackson was capable of doing such a thing. Therefore, Jungkook's words were both a warning and a taunt to Jackson.

Jackson smiled and did not mind Jungkook's taunts. "If Mrs. Jeon is willing to do me the honor, a bouquet of roses is probably not enough. At the very least, it needs to be roses in the entire restaurant."

Jungkook usually looked cold, but his reaction was big as it was related to Lisa.

Lisa pressed her temples and looked at Jungkook, who was seething with anger. She directly held his hand and said to Jackson, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Mr. Wang. Unfortunately, I don't like roses, and I don't like candlelit dinners." She paused and added, "Of course, I don't like old men either."

Jackson's eyes immediately widened. "Old? Are you talking about me? I'm only thirty-five this year!" He was indignant. "Thirty-five is the most mature and charming age for a man. How can you say I'm an old man!" To achieve his current achievements at the age of thirty-five, he should have been one of a kind in the world. Yet someone like Jungkook had taken his limelight. Jungkook took over the Jeon Corporation at the age of nineteen, and he even made the Jeon corporation flourish. Jungkook was a few years younger than him, but Jungkook's achievements seemed to be on the verge of surpassing his!

Even so, Jackson was still unwilling to give up. He even blew a kiss at Lisa in front of Jungkook. "Mrs. Jeon might not understand the charm of a man my age. That is something a man less than 30 years old can not have."

Jungkook, who was not even 30 years old, glanced at Jackson. His gaze was cold and icy.
