Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

Chapter 272: Much Misses, Video Call

Over the years, Jungkook had been used to going on business trips. He had been flying around the world. This was the first time he had resisted going on business trips so much.

Jungkook originally wanted to bring Lisa along, but thinking that it would take nearly ten hours to go to France and that Lisa seemed to have a publicity event to do tomorrow, he could only give up on the idea.

He called the manor and Uncle Wang answered. He said that Lisa had gone to the swimming hall to exercise, so Jungkook hung up.

By the time Lisa came out of the swimming pool, the sky had already darkened.

Old Master Jun sent a letter saying that he wanted to bring Haru to the quad for two days and that he missed his great-grandson.

“Where’s Jungkook?” Lisa touched her hungry stomach, thinking that they would start eating when Jungkook returned.

“Young Master went to France for a business trip. He must be on the plane by now.” Uncle Wang asked the servants to serve the food as he replied.

“France? Okay.” Lisa had seen this country on the map before. It was very far away.

When she sat at the dining table and was alone in the huge dining room, Lisa felt a little uncomfortable.

It had been a long time since she had eaten alone.

She subconsciously reached for the glass of water beside her, but it was empty. In the past, Jungkook would always place a glass of warm water by her hand before meals. Lisa had no choice but to get up and pour herself a glass.

Lisa liked to eat steamed prawns, but this time, no one peeled the shells for her. Lisa was too lazy to do it herself, so she could only take a look at the prawn meat and drop the idea.

She picked up a piece of tofu and placed it in her bowl. The onions, ginger, and garlic on the tofu dripped onto the rice. Lisa recalled that in the past few days, every time Jungkook picked up food for her, he would first remove the onions, ginger, and garlic that she did not like before putting them in her bowl.

It was as if nothing she ate was as delicious as before. Lisa stopped after a few mouthfuls of food and went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of fruits upstairs.

Leaning on the sofa in the bedroom, Lisa watched the Happy Sheep and ate the fruits. She felt that the faint pressure in her heart had not dissipated, so she put her phone aside and entered the bathroom to take a shower.

On the plane that had already left China, Jungkook ate two mouthfuls of food and lost his appetite.

Lin Jing glanced at Jungkook's expression.

“CEO Jun, the phone on this private plane has been specially modified. It can communicate via voice and video call with the outside world. Do you want to call home and tell them that you’re safe? Madam might be worried about you.”

“Mm,” Jungkook replied, then threw down his chopsticks and sat on the other end of the sofa. He pressed the reception button for the guest cabin, then turned on his phone and called Lisa on WeChat.

“CEO Jun, I’m going back to the bedroom to eat.” After speaking, Lin Jing picked up his bowl and left the cabin.

Lin Jing felt that when he retired in the future, he might be able to write a book, “The Self-Cultivation of a Light Bulb Special Assistant”.

The phone rang for a long time. Jungkook was puzzled as to whether Lisa had fallen asleep. The music had almost ended, and Jungkook was about to hang up when the phone was picked up.

“Jungkook? Why is there signal on the plane?” Lisa was a little surprised. Didn’t they say that they could not call each other on the plane? Lisa had thought of calling Jungkook just now, but thinking that he might not be able to answer the phone, she gave up.

“I can do it on my side.” They had clearly been separated for a few hours, but Jungkook acted as if he had not seen Lisa for a long time. He glanced at Lisa a few times before noticing that she had just taken a shower. Her hair was still half wet. “Why didn’t you blow dry your hair?”

“Huh?” It was as if Lisa had just realized that her hair was wet. She reached out to touch it and felt a patch of coldness. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her tone carried an unconscious coquettishness. “You’re not here.”

The unconscious dependence and habit in her words made Jungkook’s heart ache and soften. He wanted to appear in front of Lisa now and blow dry her hair as usual, but now, he could only look at her on the screen.

After Lisa finished speaking, she felt that she was a little strange.

In her previous life, she was the one who her younger siblings relied on. No matter what happened, she would be the one to shoulder it. She had never relied on anyone else either. In the end, in the modern world, she was actually unwilling to blow dry her hair herself.

“Alright, go and dry your hair first. Be good. Don’t catch a cold later. I’ll wait for you.” Jungkook's tone was exceptionally gentle today.

Although he was usually very gentle to Lisa, Jungkook's gentle tone today was filled with doting. Just listening to him talk made Lisa blush and her ears heat up.

Lisa had interacted with many men in her two generations. She had good teachers, friends, relatives, and comrades, but she had never experienced such a scene when she interacted with Jungkook.

In Lisa's world, there had never been the concept of love.

However, she felt that her relationship with Jungkook seemed to be different from those in the past. This relationship made her panic, but there was also a hint of joy from her panic.

“Mm.” Lisa placed the phone aside and went to get the hairdryer. She had always been used to others blowing her hair. Lisa was still not used to it. It took her nearly twenty minutes to blow dry her hair.

Lisa picked up her phone again. On the other end of the line, Jungkook was reading documents with his head lowered. On the paper beside him, there was already an entire page of notes.

Lisa could not help but sigh. Only such a Jungkook could make the Jun Corporation reach its current scale.

“Why don’t you do your work first? I won’t disturb you anymore.”

“I’m not busy.” Hearing the commotion, Jungkook put down the paper in his hand and carefully looked at Lisa's hair. After confirming that it had been dry, a smile appeared in his eyes. “Why are you blowing it so messily?”

“Of course I’m not as skilled as you.” Lisa sat on the bed and found a comfortable position to lie down. Her clothes pulled open a section of her fair collarbone, making it shine under the light.

“Mm, when I go back, you don’t have to do it yourself.” Jungkook's tone was still filled with tolerance and pampering, just like how Lisa used to coax Haru. Lisa's ears inexplicably burned.

”What did you eat tonight?” Since Lisa did not speak, Jungkook changed the topic.

“Shredded pork, prawns, and vegetables.” After Lisa finished speaking, she seemed to be complaining. “I didn’t touch the prawns.”

Jungkook's heart skipped a beat. He knew why she did not touch the prawns.

The gentle net that had been quietly set up had already begun to slowly close.

“Wait for me to come back,” Jungkook only said this one sentence after hearing Lisa's words, but Lisa understood what he meant.
