It was at that moment that Taehyung, who had been waiting outside, knocked on the door of the room and asked, “Lili, are you ready? The party has already started and Dad called me, telling us to be quicker.”

Lalisa wanted to take a look at herself in the mirror, but she quickly responded upon hearing Taehyung’s words; she opened the door and said with smile, “I’m ready, Brother, let’s go.”

Taehyung, who was standing outside the door, gaped at her. He moved his lips and asked suspiciously, “Are you… Lili?”

Lalisa was baffled. She looked at Taehyung and nodded. “Of course. What’s wrong with you, Brother?”

Taehyung shook his head blankly and replied, “Nothing… I’m fine. It’s just… you look a bit different from just before.”

Lalisa had seen herself wearing this dress when she was in the styling salon and knew she looked more attractive than usual wearing it, so she thought she really was ‘a bit different’ and said casually, “It’s probably because of this dress.”

Taehyung didn’t believe her words. Could a dress completely change a person’s figure?

Could this princess dress change her facial contour?

“Brother, what are you waiting for?” Lalisa wondered why Taehyung was standing motionless, since he had seemed to be in a hurry just now.

“Let’s go.” Taehyung held out his hand to Lalisa and smiled. “Miss, may I have the honor of escorting you in?”

Lalisa smiled, held his arm and said, “Sure, my perfect gentleman.”

The two meandered to the banquet hall and along their way, many guests and waiters turned their head to look at them.

“Is that Third Young Master of the Min Family? Who’s the girl beside him? She looks like a little princess!”

“I didn’t expect that Third Young Master of the Min Family had a girlfriend! Look, she is in such good shape!”

“Oh my god, is that Third Young Master of the Min Family? He is really handsome!”

At this time, a large number of journalists had arrived. They rushed up to Lalisa and Taehyung and aimed microphones and cameras at them. “Third Young Master, is this your girlfriend?”

“I wonder which family this young lady is from.”

Lalisa was very puzzled upon hearing their words. Why did they say she, whose figure was almost boyish, was in a good shape?

Were they blind?

Besides, please keep your eyes open—I am not a little princess but a queen, alright?

Taehyung was worried that Lalisa would feel uneasy at the questions from the media; however, he looked up at her only to see that she was obviously absent-minded and looked idle, so he couldn’t help but laugh…

At this time, the crowd suddenly quieted down. Taehyung turned around and saw his parents arrive supporting his grandpa. Seeing them, Lalisa, who had been holding his arm, immediately released him and went up to them. Taehyung shrugged and said to the journalists, “You’ll soon find out who she is.”

Yeji had seen Lalisa wearing this princess dress before, but she froze when she saw Lalisa. Lili looked much prettier than she had in the styling salon, even though she was wearing the same dress… No, she looked almost perfect now.

Although she couldn’t see anything wrong, she felt that Lalisa had suddenly become beautiful.

Soohyun also hadn’t expected Lalisa to look like a real princess after putting on makeup. He raised his eyebrows and fondly stroked Lalisa’s hair as he said, “My little princess, Dad almost can’t recognize you.”

“Me neither.” Grandpa Min laughed.

Lalisa was the sort of person who would be kind to anyone who was kind to her. Hearing their words, she joked cutely, “Grandpa, Mum, Dad, do you mean I’m too ugly to be recognized by you?”

“No! You’re too beautiful to be recognized by us,” Grandpa Min replied with mirth.

He was very glad that his granddaughter wasn’t devastated by the fact that her biological parents didn’t want her.

At this time, the journalists who had been surrounding Taehyung all came over to them. “Mr. Min, we heard that you have very important news to announce today. May I ask what it is?”

Seeing that his parents and sister were surrounded by the journalists, Taehyung forced his way into the crowd and said to them with a smile, “My dear media friends, let’s ask questions one by one. Don’t rush. We’ll have ten minutes.”

Beaming with smiles, Soohyun stepped forward, raised his hand to silence the journalists and began to talk. “Today we are holding this press conference, because we have some good news to share.”

At this time, Yeji walked forward with Lalisa. Soohyun held Lalisa’s hand and said with a smile, “This is my daughter, Min Lisa. When she was born, somebody took her away from us due to an old grudge. After searching twenty three years for her, we finally found her again! Today I’d like to introduce her to you all.”

His words sent the journalists into a great uproar. Many of these journalists still remembered the breaking news of Soohyun’s wife being pregnant with their fourth child. In the end, however, Soohyun only had three sons, so many people had guessed that their fourth child was stillborn. No one had expected that he would drop this bombshell today!

The journalists immediately went crazy and they all rushed forward. “Excuse me, Mrs. Min, are Mr. Min’s words true?”

Since Soohyun worked in the municipal government and didn’t hold any position in Min’s Group, people called him Mr. Min and called Hyunbin President Min, so as to distinguish between them.

Yeji nodded with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. “Yes, thank God, I finally found my daughter again.”

“Mr. Min, you must be very excited seeing how you’re smiling so happily!” A journalist suddenly turned to Grandpa Min and asked.

Grandpa Min hardly appeared in the media and it was rare for him to answer questions from journalists, but today he made an exception. He smiled and replied, “Yes. I thought there was no hope, but God gave me such a surprise! I’m very happy that my granddaughter came back home.”

Suddenly, a journalist asked, “Mr. Min, can you tell me who adopted or, to be exact, abducted Miss Min?”

A grim gleam flickered across Soohyun’s eyes and he silently bore in mind the name of the newspaper this journalist belonged to.

Right then, Lalisa suddenly stood out. She smiled at the camera with soft eyes, but her gaze caused the journalist to feel a chill on his back. Lalisa said gently, “It’s a trauma of my parents that I was abducted. I hope you won’t try to reopen their wounds. As for my past life?” Before she could continue, however, Lalisa suddenly felt a hand seize her. She turned around and found it was Yeji. She smiled at her and said, “I have got nothing to hide. I was abducted to a mountain village in City W.”

“I grew up in the mountains. You can’t imagine what I used to be, and I couldn’t imagine back then that this was my home.”

Seeing how she acted naturally and at ease, not at all like a child who grew up in the mountains, the journalists became more excited. “Excuse me, Miss Min, how did you feel when you learnt that you were actually a descendant of the Min Family?”

Lalisa frowned. To be honest, the moment she found out that she had become Min Lisa, she had felt as if struck by a thunderbolt.

“I felt upset and nervous, wondering whether my parents would like a child who grew up in the mountains.” Lalisa paused, turned to look at Soohyun and Yeji, and smiled as she continued, “But then I found that my concern was really unnecessary because my parents love me, really love me.”

A journalist wiped away his tears and said with righteous indignation, “Those human traffickers should be brought to justice! Or be shot. They’re really heinous!”

In the banquet hall, Jiwon looked gloomy as she said, “What will they announce at the press conference?”

“Let’s go over and have a look? I’m worried that girl may say something improper.” Hyunbin frowned. “If Soohyun makes a false charge against us at the press conference, we’ll be in trouble!”

“A charge against us?” Jiwon snorted coldly. “We won’t admit it. Besides, Soohyun wants to recognize that girl as his daughter himself, and we didn’t force him! Since he likes it, he shouldn’t regret it!”

Hearing their words, Tzuyu, who was standing quietly on one side, secretly smiled. ‘Look, Lisa, your parents don’t care about you at all. They are even ashamed of you! Can you still compete with me?’

Hyunbin could tell his wife was annoyed by Lisa from her tone. He frowned and asked, “Who pissed you off?”

Jiwon was angry at the mention of Lisa. “Who else but that hussy? Brought up in the countryside, she is just as vulgar and unreasonable as those village women! She even dared talk back to me in the hospital! I wish I didn’t give birth to a child like that!”

Hearing this, Tzuyu quickly came over to appease Jiwon, saying in a low voice, “Mom, don’t be angry. Maybe Lili was angry with me, so she spoke to you like that. It was all my fault.”

Seeing Tzuyu being so considerate, Jiwon looked a little bit better. She patted Tzuyu’s hand and shook her head. “It has nothing to do with you. She is too mean. Anyway, she has finally disappeared from my sight. It’s enough for me to have a daughter like you.”

After saying that, she smiled and her face softened. “By the way, what about Mingyu? Has he come?”

Tzuyu’s face was filled with a happy smile at hearing Liu Mingyu’s name. She nodded and replied, “Yes, I just spoke with Brother Mingyu on the phone. He’s on his way here.”

Jinhwan, who was standing not far behind them, frowned upon hearing their conversation.

On the other side, the press conference was delayed for a few minutes as the journalists had asked too many questions. Suddenly, a journalist said, “Miss Min is truly a worthy descendant of the Min Family. Even though you lived in the countryside for so many years, you still look noble and graceful.”

Lalisa slightly raised her eyebrows and smiled as she said, “I’m flattered.”

“That’s all for today, thank you.” As Soohyun said this, their bodyguards briskly walked over and escorted them out.

Upon spotting the girl who was walking with Soohyun, Mingyu, who had just gotten off his car, was stunned at her beauty.

“I didn’t expect Lili to perform so well and to not have any stage fright.” Soohyun looked at Lalisa with a bright smile. The more he looked at Lalisa, the more he was satisfied with her. He was almost bursting with laughter in his heart. He wanted to see how his brother, who took a fish eye as a pearl, would look like after he learnt that the daughter he abandoned was actually a great girl.

Lalisa smiled. A scene like this was routine for her in the past.

But Lalisa certainly wouldn’t say that. She smiled sweetly at them and said, “I was telling myself that even if I said something wrong, Mom and Dad would stay by my side.”

Grandpa Min grinned from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly. “Good, very good. Soohyun, be good to Lili and I’ll make it worth your while.”

Soohyun’s face became clouded at hearing Grandpa Min mention that matter again. “Dad, what are you talking about? I’ve told you that I’m really not interested in your company and I won’t work for it. But if you want my son to work in the company, I don’t mind.”

Taehyung almost jumped to his feet at his father’s words. As if facing a great crisis, he rushed over to them and said pleadingly, “Grandpa, please don’t force me to work in your company! I have a job I love, so I’m not going to work there!”

Yoongi and Jimin had come out to see how the press conference was going, only to hear their grandpa say this. Their reactions were almost identical to Taehyung’s. “Grandpa, we don’t want to work in Min’s Group either. Uncle and Brother Jinhwan manages the company very well. If you really want to reward us, give us money. Nothing is better than money for us!”

Taehyung nodded in agreement with Yoongi and Jimin. “Yes, Grandpa. Apart from money, we want nothing else. A position in Min’s Group would merely be a burden to us!”

Grandpa Min got a headache at the sight of their reactions. Although Hyunbin and Soohyun seemed to get along well, they didn’t like each other, which was why Soohyun didn’t want to work in Min’s Group and he didn’t allow his sons to do so as well. Min’s Group still existed because Soohyun worked in the government and his father-in-law was a widely-respected general. The company’s rivals dared not attack them because they feared the power behind it. However, Grandpa Min clearly knew that Soohyun protected the company for his sake. Once he died, the company would be taken over by Hyunbin and Soohyun wouldn’t shield it any more. At that time, Min’s Group would be finished.

Grandpa Min scowled.

Lalisa was also surprised. She had only ever witnessed the descendants of rich families scramble for family properties, and she herself was murdered for this reason. Why did Soohyun and his sons take the family property as a burden?

Just then, Yeji suddenly said, “Today is the welcome party for Lili. Let’s go in.”

“Yes, Grandpa, how can you forget the…” Jimin suddenly stopped speaking, stared in astonishment at Lalisa and asked, “Who is this beauty?”

Yoongi recognized Lisa first, and a surprised gleam flashed through his eyes.

Taehyung burst into laughter and gloated, “I really want to bring Lili to the party and show her to some people.”

His brothers all nodded. Yes, then they could see how those people, who treated Lili with contempt this morning, felt regret.

Knowing what they were thinking of, Lalisa gave a sly smile and said, “Are you going to take me along as a zoo animal? No way! I’m gonna charge them for taking a look at me.”

“Hahaha…” Everyone was amused by her words.

“Okay, Lili and your brothers will go upstairs—the banquet hall has two floors—and when the party starts, you come down.” Soohyun planned to give Lalisa a debut fit for a princess and make her the focus of attention as soon as she showed up.

The Min brothers immediately stood up and said in unison, “That’ll be great.”

Jimin glared at his two brothers as he said, “Why are you guys so excited? Are you as handsome as me? I’ll be Lili’s escort!”

“Get out of here!” Taehyung kicked at him and said, “I’m a hundred times more handsome than you, alright? Besides, I’m only two years older than her as her third elder brother. We’re the closest in age. I’ll be her escort!”

“Humph.” A snort of disdain came from Yoongi, who shot a piercing cold stare at his brothers. Staring at the two who were busy arguing, he said coldly, “I’m the eldest brother, so I’m the most qualified.”

“Nonsense! Don’t put on airs!” The other two said together.

Seeing that, because of her new daughter, the family atmosphere had become more harmonious and that even her always serious eldest son was acting so cutely, Yeji couldn’t help but laugh. Lili was really her lucky star.

“Alright, stop quarrelling,” Soohyun suddenly said to the three bickering brothers. “It’s really hard to pick one from you brothers. Let me, her father, serve as Lili’s escort.”

“No way!” the three brothers said in one voice again.

“Haha…” Grandpa Min laughed. It was his first time laughing so hard in all these years. He looked at the three brothers and said with mirth, “How about this? All of you will be your sister’s knights tonight. Go then, knights.”

Yeji also nodded and said, “That’s a good idea.”

“Let’s go, sister.” Jimin was the most enthusiastic one among the Min brothers.

Lalisa nodded and replied, “Okay, let’s go.”

She gathered up her dress and walked up the stairs. When she passed a mirror wall, however, she came to a sudden stop. Staring at herself in the mirror, she was stunned!

Damn, where did this noble princess come from?!

She almost recognized Lili as herself!

Oh, my god! This devilish figure of hers!

And this makeup!

Was this the ‘perfect makeup’ 008 mentioned? Oh, my god, was it really just a makeup? Her cup size had changed from A to 32C! And what happened to her eyes and nose?

Why didn’t he tell me the effect in advance?

No wonder they had all looked so surprised at her!

She couldn’t even recognize herself!

Seeing Lalisa standing in a daze, Yoongi whispered to her, “Lili, what’s wrong?”

Lalisa recovered from her reverie and immediately shook her head. “I’m alright. Let’s go upstairs.”

Lalisa and the Min brothers went upstairs. At this time, Mingyu, who had finally managed to get away from the journalists, walked by. Spotting Lalisa, he raised his eyebrows. ‘Wow, what a beautiful woman!’

Just then, Tzuyu, who had been continuing to wait for him in the banquet hall, came up to him and grumbled in a flirtish manner, “Brother Mingyu, why don’t you come in?”

Mingyu withdrew his gaze and smiled at Tzuyu, saying, “I just took a phone call,” and then he affectionately put his arm around her waist. “Come on, let’s go in.”

Tzuyu nodded sweetly and replied, “Okay, let’s go.”

On her side, Lalisa went upstairs with the three brothers. From there, she could see the people in the banquet hall downstairs. Lalisa didn’t like socializing and her status was quite noble before, so she hadn’t needed to cope with such occasions at all. Now, looking at the people downstairs, she suddenly got a headache.

She just couldn’t escape these social engagements!

Seeing her grimace painfully, the Min brothers thought she got stage fright in the face of so many upper-class people of City A. After all, she was just a little girl who had never experienced such an occasion before. It was understandable that she got stage fright…

Taehyung comforted her with gentle words, “Don’t be afraid, Lili. Follow me and I’ll protect you.”

“Go away! Look at your skinny body, whom can you protect?” Jimin pushed Taehyung away and said to Lalisa lovingly, “Lili, I’ll protect you. You can count on me. I’m a black belt in Taekwondo.”

Lalisa raised her eyebrows and said, “Really?”

It seemed that if she wanted to improve her Martial Point, she could turn to Jimin for help!

As Jimin nodded complacently, Yoongi’s cold snort was heard again. Jimin turned furious at the sound. He glared at Yoongi as he said, “What? You have a problem with me? Come on, let’s fight!”

“Are you sure you can beat me?” Yoongi cast a sideways glance at Jimin. “Let’s PK now?”

Jimin immediately flinched. He hid behind Lalisa and looked at Yoongi with an aggrieved look. “You are only so cocky because you are a head of a governmental department!”

A head of a governmental department… Lalisa looked inquiringly at Yoongi.

Seeing that his words had attracted his sister’s attention, Jimin whispered to Lalisa, “Sister, I usually don’t tell people about this, but you are the only exception. Yoongi is the director of a department of the National Intelligence Bureau. He not only knows much of national intelligence, but is also a Kungfu master.”

“Jimin!”

Yoongi glared at Jimin and the latter immediately shut up.

Lalisa’s eyes lit up. It seemed that she could learn Kungfu from Yoongi!

However… Lalisa looked at Jimin and chuckled as she asked, “Sa, how many people have you told this secret to?”

Jimin scratched his head and replied, “I forgot.”

Seeing Lalisa laughing happily, Yoongi finally let Jimin off. He walked over to Lalisa, reached out his hand and said to her tenderly, “Don’t be nervous.”

In fact, Jimin didn’t have a big mouth; only the Min brothers knew about Yoongi’s identity. Even the Yang Family people didn’t know about this, including their grandfather General Yang.

Lalisa realized that they said this just to help her relax. Warmth welled up inside her as she held onto Yoongi’s arm.

“Yoongi, you cheat!” Jimin and Taehyung immediately protested. “You should let Lili choose herself!”

Yoongi paused and looked back at his brothers. Their eyes lit up as they thought that they might have a chance. When they were about to ask Lalisa to choose, however, Yoongi’s cold voice burst their bubble, “Didn’t Lili just choose?”

Oh, my gosh! He was so bossy, just like she used to be!

She liked it!

“Min Yoongi, you’re shameless!” Jimin and Taehyung became angry.

Yoongi snorted coldly and replied, “Humph, I don’t care, because you’re not in the same league as me.”

Lalisa blinked. Why did this sound so familiar?

It seemed that she’d heard it somewhere…

Holding onto Yoongi’s arm, Lalisa walked downstairs step by step.

At this time, melodious music suddenly began to ring throughout the noisy banquet hall and the lights momentarily went out. Just when the crowd was wondering what was going on, a beam of light illuminated the siblings standing on the spiral stairs.

Almost all eyes fell on them.

Just then, Lalisa suddenly heard the voice of the system prompt in her mind…

[System: My dear queen, are you satisfied with the surprise I prepared for you?]

Lalisa raised her eyebrows. ‘Not bad.’

[System: Your Majesty, I’m glad you like it.]

‘Can you read my mind?’

[System: Your Majesty, don’t forget that we are bound now.]

‘OK, 008, you’re great!’

[System: Thanks for your praise. Now it’s show time!]

Lalisa smiled. ‘Keep your eyes wide open.’

Holding onto Yoongi’s arm, she looked below her like a queen gazing down at her people, so noble and lofty. Standing closest to her, Yoongi had been intending on supporting her lest she got a fall, but when he turned around and saw her charming smile and starry eyes, he couldn’t help but hold his breath.

He suddenly felt as if she might disappear if he exhaled just once more.

Lalisa knew what Yoongi was thinking because she was aware of her own charm. Somebody had once told her, “Your smile eclipses the entire world.”

If she were to smile with Lisa’s face, she would not get the effect she wanted; however, with the perfect makeup gifted by 008, she was a belle right now. When she smiled, everyone would be attracted by her.

Lalisa smiled and whispered to Yoongi, “Brother, let’s go.”

Staring at Lalisa who was almost shining, Tzuyu, who was standing in the center of the hall, clenched her fists so tight her nails went deep into her palms, but she seemed not to feel any pain.

Mingyu, who was standing beside her, was completely stunned by Lalisa’s beauty. ‘Who is this girl?’

Watching the girl gracefully walking downstairs like a princess, Jiwon mood was horrible.

At this time, the lights in the hall suddenly went on and a beam of light illuminated the stage. Soohyun was standing on the stage, and he looked at the siblings walking down the stairs as he said, “Thank you for coming to my father’s welcome banquet. Tonight we have good news to share with you—I have finally found my daughter, Min Lisa, and she will be returning to our family tonight. Let’s wish her a bright future.”

“So this is Mr. Min’s daughter. She is really beautiful.”

“My god, the moment she came down, I was almost stunned. She is gorgeous.”

“She looks so graceful, just like a real princess.”

“And the three sons of Mr. Min are also handsome. Oh, I felt my heart skip a beat when I looked at them.”

While the people were talking, Lalisa and the Min brothers had arrived in the hall. The crowd parted on both sides to make way for them. Lalisa nodded to them in greeting, and walked towards Soohyun and Yeji step by step.

The Min brothers escorted Lalisa to the stage and stopped. Soohyun took a step forward and reached out his hand to Lalisa, who gathered up her dress with one hand and gave the other to Soohyun. He took her hand and led her to the stage.

Soohyun led Lalisa before the microphone and stepped aside. Lalisa took a look at Soohyun, who thought she got stage fright and so encouraged her in a low voice, “Be brave, Lili.” Lalisa gently nodded and gave him a reassuring look in response, then she walked up to the microphone, bowed to the crowd with the most standard etiquette and said, “Good evening, everyone. I’m Min Lisa. Thank you all for coming.”

Her voice was sweet and melodious, like trickling water, and put the crowd in a serene mood in this hot summer night.

Thunderous applause broke out.

Lalisa waited until the applause stopped, and said with a smile, “Thank you for your presence, and your applause. Have a great time.”

Staring at Lalisa on the stage, Tzuyu wished that she would fall off and die instantly, but Lalisa still stood there being the focus of everyone’s attention!

No, it shouldn’t be like this!

She should be the focus of attention! She should be the only heroine tonight! She!

Lisa was nothing but a country bumpkin from the mountains. In the face of these people, she should be too timid to stand on stage and be laughed at by everyone, but shouldn’t be like this—behaving naturally and at ease like a duck to water and gaining universal popularity!

She was the most popular princess!

“Is she your cousin?” Mingyu’s voice broke Tzuyu’s reverie.

Tzuyu turned around only to see that Mingyu’s eyes were fixed on Lisa. She secretly gnashed her teeth and hated Lisa even more, but she still smiled at Mingyu and gently nodded, saying, “Yes, she is the long-lost daughter of my second uncle.”

Mingyu nodded and replied, “I see.”

Tzuyu smiled and nodded again. “Yeah, Lili suffered a lot all these years. Now she’s finally come back to our family. It really hasn’t been easy for her.”

Taking a look at Tzuyu, Mingyu was beguiled into thinking that she was truly concerned about Lisa. He patted Tzuyu on the shoulder with a smile and said to her tenderly, “You are just too soft-hearted. No one’s life is easy. After suffering comes happiness. She has become a popular princess and her sufferings have borne fruit.”

“Brother Mingyu, don’t say that. After all, Lili’s past life was miserable.” She then smiled as she continued, “But as you said, she’ll suffer no longer.”

Mingyu put his arm around her waist, gently touched the tip of her nose with a finger and said lovingly, “You are always so sweet.”

Tzuyu was relieved to see Mingyu still speak to her affectionately. She turned her eyes to Lalisa. “Lisa, even though you are in the limelight, so what? The man who is supposed to belong to you loves me, belongs to me, and you’ll never be able to take him away from me!”

However, Lisa on the stage didn’t even look at her.

Although Lalisa didn’t like to socialize with people, she had a way of responding to compliments, which was to stare at the bridge of the other party’s nose and smile sweetly from time to time.

Right now, she was staring at the bridge of somebody’s nose.

Many people came over to ask Lalisa out for dinner, but Yeji politely refused them for her.

As it was Yeji refusing them, they dared not be angry. With Soohyun’s current status, if he didn’t care about the shares of the company, he didn’t have to socialize with them.

After the party was over, Lalisa went back home. Upon returning to her room, she took off the princess dress and the perfect makeup disappeared automatically. Lalisa looked down at her flat chest and looked into the mirror, only to find that she had changed back to her former self and no longer sparkled.

Lying in bed, Lalisa turned on the system and asked excitedly, “008, how about my experience points now?”

[System prompt—your experience points are currently as follows:

Experience Point: 35/800

Martial Point: 0/100

Physical Point: 10/100

Face Point: 7/100

Figure Point: 1/100

Charm Point: 15/100

Revenge Point: 0/100

Wealth Point: 0/100

Face Slapping Point: 2/100]

Finding that her Charm Point and Face Point had increased so much after attending the dinner party, Lalisa jumped with joy. “Great, 008, I have so much experience points now.”

[System: Please keep trying and reach your goal as soon as possible.]

008 became that robotic system again.

Lalisa immediately noticed his change and raised her eyebrows. “Hey, I like you calling me queen or goddess.”

[System: But you don’t look like a goddess or queen at all.]

Lalisa jumped up angrily. “Hey, don’t look down upon me. At least I have the ambition to be a queen.”

Now she finally knew why 008 addressed her as “Your Majesty” at the dinner party. It was only because she had a queen’s aura, figure and appearance at that time!

How could 008 judge her solely by her appearance?! That was mean!

[System: I also have the ambition to be the best system in the whole universe, but the reality is cruel. Please accept the reality.]

Lalisa was angered by 008’s words. She slapped her princess bed hard and said resolutely, “Okay, I’ll show you how I become a goddess in the shortest time!”

[System: Ding-dong… Since the host has passed the test of determination, the system specially gifts you a set of Refine Facial Treatment Essence. Click to accept and use.]

The corner of Lalisa’s eyes twitched as she said, “Oh, what a surprise!” Lalisa reached out her hand and clicked OK.

The corner of Lalisa’s eyes twitched again as she saw a complete set of Refine Facial Treatment Essence suddenly pop out on the bed. They were almost all skin care products, from soup to nuts!

Randomly picking up a bottle of lotion, Lalisa studied it only to find that she couldn’t understand the language on the bottle, so she asked, “008, where were these products produced?”

The skin care products she previously used were the best ones in the world, and she had thoroughly researched all luxury skin care products on the market because of her strict requirements on these sorts of goods, but she had never heard of this brand!

[System: Refine Facial Treatment Essence is the best skin care product of the highest grade and was specifically developed for Min Lisa based on the skin test on her.]

Recalling the exciting effect had by the ‘perfect makeup’, Lalisa asked with twinkling eyes, “What effect will the skin care products have?”

[System: It will grant you hard-to-resist charm.]

“Hoho.” Lalisa sneered. He might as well not have said this!

Knock knock.

Yeji’s voice rang from outside the door, “Lili, may I come in?”

Lalisa quickly put the skin care products on the table and ran to open the door for Yeji. “Mom, what’s the matter?”

A guilty gleam flickered across Yeji’s eyes when she found that Lalisa was still in the clothes that she wore when she went to her home this morning. She handed over a pair of pajamas to Lalisa and said, “Lili, sorry, I was thoughtless. I forgot that you don’t have pajamas and other clothes. Let’s go shopping tomorrow and I’ll buy you some clothes.”

Lalisa looked down at her clothes that were indeed a little shabby, so she nodded without pretense. “Okay, Mom, let’s go shopping tomorrow. Anything else?”

“You…” Yeji looked at Lalisa and shook her head. “Nothing. Have a good rest. I will wake you up tomorrow morning.”

Lalisa nodded and accompanied Yeji out of the door, and then she returned to her room and began to apply the skin care products onto her face…

Lalisa got up very early the next morning. After running 20 laps in the garden downstairs and stretching, she began to pull up her ligaments in the garden.

Afterwards, she started working out using her previous fitness regimen.

She decided to exercise Min Lisa into a second Kwon Lalisa.

She was Kwon Lalisa, who would never give up or resign to fate.

At this time, the Min brothers came to the balcony of the second floor one after another, each holding a cup of coffee and watching Lisa working out downstairs.

Taehyung drank a cup of coffee, leaned leisurely against a Roman column, and said with a faint smile, “Don’t you find that our sister is very special?”

Jimin nodded and replied, “Yes. Very different, very interesting.”

Yoongi took a sip of coffee and didn’t speak. She really was different. If it were any other girl, she would have felt ill at ease for a long time after joining a new family. She might have even been anxious to guess what each of them were thinking, or have tried to fit into the family.

But it was as if she had grown up in this family.

Seeing that Yoongi was silent, Taehyung immediately taunted, “Yoongi is always mild on the outside but wild on the inside. Now he must have a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he just won’t say anything.”

Jimin shrugged and said, “He’s always like this.” With that said, he turned his eyes to Lalisa and said with great interest, “Look, the fitness regimen she’s using is very professional and… have you noticed that this is Michael Fankel’s fitness regimen, of which only 10 sets were released and each sold at the price of 200,000 USD? Then it was bought out by the Empire Group’s princess Kwon Lalisa and was lost to the world. Why does she know this fitness regimen?”

Taehyung raised his eyebrows. “What did you say? Fankel?”

Every fitness enthusiast knew of Fankel, who was the most popular fitness instructor in the world, and the aerobics he composed was a blessing to countless women. As long as you used his aerobics, you would surely have a perfect body!

Lalisa looked up from her workout and saw the Min brothers standing on the balcony chatting. She smiled at them and greeted, “Hi, good morning.”

She acted very naturally.

Yoongi nodded and replied, “Good morning.”

At this time, Jimin and Taehyung saw Lalisa’s face and chest…

“How… how…” Pointing at Lalisa, who was walking into the villa, Taehyung stammered in shock, “How did she become like this?”

Jimin nodded. “Yeah, why did she become a ‘flat’ bean again?” And a dull flat bean at that!

Yoongi snorted and said, “When was she not like this?”
