However, no one cared about Beomgyu's resistance.
"Haru will come back with me tonight, he still has school tomorrow." Jungkook looked unhappily at Haru, who was clinging onto Lisa.
Knowing that she would be leaving very early tomorrow, Lisa nodded in agreement.
"But I want to sleep with Mommy." Upon knowing that he was going to be separated from Lisa, tears slowly welled up in Haru's eyes. He couldn't bear to part with Mommy. A few anguished sobs burst out of his trembling lips.
Beomgyu looked at Haru's crying face and gloated inwardly. 'That little devil is going to be punished by his father.'
"Stop fooling around. You have school tomorrow. Let's go."
Jungkook walked up and held Haru's hand. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and looked at Beomgyu expressionlessly. "You too."
"..."
Beomgyu's gloating expression changed immediately. "I... Can't I go tomorrow?"
Jungkook glanced at Lisa's exposed legs, which were as fair as an exquisite piece of jade, and felt an inexplicable surge of anger.
"Either you leave now or you don't go at all."
Lisa didn't know why Jungkook was angry, but she still tried to ease the atmosphere by persuading Beomgyu.
"It's alright, go with him and help take care of Haru. I have to go out very early tomorrow."
Whatever struggles he had were futile. In the end, Jungkook held Haru's hand and left the apartment with Beomgyu, whose face was as wrinkled as a bun.
The boisterous house suddenly quieted down. Lisa sat on the carpet, holding a cup of tea as she looked out the window. The modern city was unlike the ancient times where everywhere would be closed once night fell. At night, the modern city lit up with countless neon lights, giving it a unique charm.
As she looked out the window at the myriad of lights outside, Lisa began to miss the little dumpling that had always clung to her. She wondered if they had arrived safely.
At this moment, the phone vibrated, and the screen showed a flashing black profile picture with a few stars on it.
The caller ID displayed one word, "Jun".
Before Haru left, he was especially reluctant to part with Lisa, so she had promised him a video call to coax him to sleep. It seemed that they had reached home safely.
Lisa smiled, put down the cup in her hand, and pressed the answer button.
"Mommy!"
A white and cuddly dumpling squeezed into the screen.
"Good boy. Have you showered?" Lisa gently responded.
"Yes, Mommy. The auntie at home helped me take a bath. I smell so good now. Smell me!"
With that, Haru put his arm in front of the phone.
"Yes, you smell good." Lisa's lips curled up at the child's adorable actions.
Beside Haru sat Jungkook, who was reading the documents on his computer seriously. However, although Haru had been chatting with Lisa for almost fifteen minutes, he was still on the first page.
"Alright, it's time to sleep. You have to wake up early for school tomorrow."
A low and attractive male voice could be heard. Lisa, who had wanted to talk to Lisa for a while more, realized that it was already very late.
"Daddy, can I sleep with you? I'm afraid of the little monsters."
Lisa had been watching Ultraman with Haru for those few days, and Haru needed Lisa to accompany him to sleep at night as he was afraid that the little monsters would catch him and take him away while he was asleep.
Jungkook, who had never been close to anyone, wanted to reprimand him, but when he looked down and saw the pair of wet eyes that resembled his own, he finally allowed it.
"Mommy, the song you sang yesterday was really nice. I want to hear it today too."
After being thrown onto the bed and stuffed under the blanket by Jungkook, Haru still held on to his phone to speak with Lisa.
"Okay, then lie down and put your phone aside. Mommy will sing. Be good and sleep."
Lisa had enjoyed listening to popular songs recently. The melody was easy to remember and the lyrics were catchy. Therefore, when she coaxed Haru to sleep, she often hummed songs that she had just learned.
"Mmm!" Haru obediently placed his phone by his pillow and closed his eyes.
Jungkook glared at him silently. He was so uncooperative when he was showering just now, unlike now. It was a pity that Haru's eyes were closed and he did not notice Jungkook's gaze.
Lalisa's clear singing voice came through the phone. Her voice was like a clear pool of water striking a spring as if it was the only sound that could seep into the depths of one's heart in this quiet night.
Slowly, Haru's breathing became calmer, and the singing on the phone became softer gradually. Lisa had slowly fallen asleep too.
Jungkook, who had been sitting quietly by the bed for a long time, gently took the phone from the pillow when he heard no sound from the phone anymore.
All that was left in the image was a clean and exquisite side profile. Her hair was scattered messily on the pillow. Lisa's long eyelashes were like a small arc fan, casting a shadow on her lower eyelids.
Jungkook was dazzled. He looked at her quietly for a while, then reached out to the phone and hung up the call.
The little dumpling curled up on the bed unconsciously, as though he was looking for someone to lean on. Jungkook, who was about to continue working overtime, lifted the blanket and fell asleep beside Haru.
Sensing a source of warmth, Haru's arms and legs wrapped around him.
It took him by surprise. Jungkook, who had never been so close to anyone before, froze for a moment. After a while, he reached out and hugged the soft little dumpling who was not even half his height.
The man's heart swelled with warmth as he took in the warm, milky scent emanating from the little dumpling's body. That was the natural bond that came with being related by blood.
The night finally quieted down.
==========
They were supposed to meet at the airport at half-past eight in the morning. However, considering Lisa's usual lazy habits, she probably wouldn't come until nine o'clock. Hence, Chen Yun ate leisurely before arriving at the airport.
Unexpectedly, the moment he entered the VIP room, he saw Lisa sitting quietly on a chair with sunglasses on, drinking tea.
She was wearing a white floral print shirt and a pair of white tight-fitting pants that made her legs look as slender as a pair of bamboo chopsticks. She also wore a pink windbreaker with long flower petals sleeves and a long belt around her waist, which made her look like a budding flower.
"..."
He knew that Lalisa was beautiful and she had always liked bold colours and a flamboyant style. After a long time, he had already gotten used to her style.
However, the current Lisa, although dressed in such a relatively monotonous colour, was as delicate and moving as a lotus in the rain, leaving one with an endless aftertaste.
"Hey, um, you're here so early?" He felt a bit guilty. In addition, he was surprised by Lisa's sudden change in style. Chen Yun approached her with some degree of embarrassment.
"Didn't we agree to meet at half-past eight?"
"..." He didn't know what to say.
"It's about time, let's go and check-in."
Until they had boarded the plane, Lisa was actually confused. After all, that was her first time going through ticket inspection and security checks. Fortunately, because the original owner of the body was lazy in the past, Chen Yun had to handle many things for her. Hence, no flaws were seen.
The plane gradually rose into the sky. Lisa recovered from her dizziness and looked outside, only to find that she was already in the clouds.
Large clouds were piled outside the window like cotton candy. When she was still a little princess, she often asked her mother what was above the clouds. Her mother told her that it was a place for immortals to live.
Looking at the clouds outside the window now, Lisa felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.
