Lisa felt that she had never spoken so carelessly.
Jungkook's heart sank at Lisa's words.
It seemed that the previous few intimate actions had finally aroused Lisa's disgust, to the point that she was resisting him to this extent.
"Then don't eat. Have some tea." Jungkook suppressed the gloom in his heart and forced a smile as he poured Lisa a cup of tea.
"That's not what I meant." Lisa herself did not know why her tone had suddenly turned bad. She had always been good at controlling her emotions.
"I know. Have some tea." Jungkook smiled and handed the teacup to Lisa. He picked up the bowl and quietly ate the food on the table.
Jungkook, who was wrapped in a fierce aura, actually looked a little aggrieved.
The food that Lisa prepared was for two people. Lisa didn't move her chopsticks much, and Jungkook slowly ate all the food that Lisa had prepared.
"Aren't you full?" Lisa was a little surprised.
"It'll be wasted if we can't finish it." Jungkook usually controlled his diet and did not eat much. Now that he had eaten two portions of food, he felt fine.
Furthermore, this was made by Lisa. He did not know if he would be able to eat her cooking in the future. Jungkook sighed silently in his heart. He naturally did not want to waste it at all.
After dinner, Lisa wanted to return to the manor.
Jungkook informed Lin Jing on his phone and postponed all the meetings in the afternoon. Then he looked at Lisa. "I happen to have nothing on in the afternoon. Let's go back together."
"Okay."
The car drove on the streets and suddenly passed by a cake shop. Thinking of Lisa's love for sweets, Jungkook got the chauffeur to get out of the car and buy one.
As she did not eat much for lunch, when Lisa smelled the cake, her appetite was aroused.
She scooped a spoonful and placed it in her mouth. The taste was slightly bitter. It tasted a little like plums?
Lisa lowered her head to look at the packaging on the box. As expected, it was green plum.
Upon seeing the words 'green plum' [1. The Chinese words for 'green plum' is the same as the first two words of 'childhood sweetheart' in Chinese.], Lisa recalled the words' childhood sweetheart 'and 'Brother Jungkook' that Zheng Fei had mentioned. She immediately lost her appetite and placed the remaining cake on the table.
"Are you unwell?" Jungkook asked Lisa in concern.
"I feel pretty good." For some reason, Lisa felt an unknown complicated emotion surge in her heart when she saw Jungkook.
Sensing the impatience in Lisa's tone, Jungkook clenched his fists slightly and stopped disturbing her.
After returning to the manor, Lisa leaned on the sofa and watched television. Jungkook did not go to the study to work, which was unusual. Instead, he sat by the French windows and looked out at the garden. No one knew what he was thinking.
Uncle Wang was experienced. With one look, he knew that the two of them had gotten into a fight. However, he could not interfere much with Jungkook's matter, so he could only worry in his heart.
Ding. At that moment, the phone by the sofa rang. Lisa picked up the phone. Before she could speak, the other party had already called out, "Brother Jungkook."
Lisa's expression turned cold and she put the phone aside. "Jungkook, it's for you."
Jungkook heard the commotion and came to answer the phone. He only listened for a second before hanging up the phone. He looked at the caller ID and saw the Zheng family's number.
Jungkook's eyes were cold.
It seemed that because the Zheng family's political career had been smooth sailing for the past few years, they really treated themselves as one of the top aristocratic families in Beijing.
Thinking that Lisa had not eaten lunch and was in a bad mood, Jungkook wanted to take her out for a meal in the afternoon to relax. "I think you quite like to eat fish. I'll bring you to a delicious place that makes fish in the afternoon."
"No." Lisa rejected him decisively.
"That family really made pretty good food. I went to eat with my friends when I was young." That "lotus pond" had been open for many years. Back then, he had saved Bo Xiao in the pool at the entrance of that "lotus pond".
Later on, Bo Xiao brought him to eat a few times. The fish at that restaurant was quite good and the environment was very elegant.
Hearing Jungkook mention his childhood friends, Lisa naturally thought of the so-called childhood sweetheart, Zheng Fei.
Lisa's heart was in a mess. Before her brain could react, she had already blurted out, "Which friend? Is it your childhood sweetheart?"
Lisa's inexplicable words stunned Jungkook.
He had grown up alone since he was young. The only person he had been close to was Bo Xiao, let alone any woman. Where did this childhood sweetheart sister come from?
Jungkook's gaze suddenly swept across the phone. Thinking of the fake "Brother Shiling" that woman from the Zheng family, he suddenly had an epiphany and strung everything together.
It seemed that everything wrong with Lisa had started at noon.
A guess that he could not believe surged from the bottom of his heart. Even the usually calm Jungkook could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
His eyes, which had been gloomy for the entire day, were now shockingly bright.
At that moment, Lisa also realized that something was wrong. She cursed in her heart. What's wrong with me today? I'm really messed up. She turned to leave, but Jungkook grabbed her wrist.
Uncle Wang, who was pacing back and forth anxiously not far away, hurriedly retreated when he saw this scene.
Damn, young people were really torturous when they fell in love. It made my old heart palpitate.
Lisa turned around and saw Jungkook's extremely bright eyes, as if he was especially happy about something.
Jungkook barely suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. Thinking that he could not scare Lisa. He had to take it slow and not let this seedling that had finally appeared be frightened away by him.
"I don't have childhood sweethearts. Ever since I was young, other than having a friend like Bo Xiao, I didn't have any other close friends or sisters. I've only seen Zheng Fei three times in total. When I was young during her grandfather's fiftieth birthday was once, and the seventieth birthday the previous year was another time, and today was the last time."
Jungkook seemed to be confessing. He combed through the extremely simple relationship, his eyes serious and solemn.
"Why are you telling me this? It has nothing to do with me." Lisa struggled free of Jungkook's hand with an unnatural expression. However, it could not be denied that because of Jungkook's words, the frustration in Lisa's heart was instantly relieved.
"I just don't want you to misunderstand. I don't want you to think that I'm such a playboy. What childhood sweetheart all?" Jungkook was not angry when his hand was pulled away because he could clearly see Lisa's expression soften.
"Got it. CEO Jun is the most loyal person, okay?" Lisa was a little embarrassed and could not help but joke.
"You'll know," Jungkook replied inexplicably. Before Lisa could probe further, he changed the topic. "That fish is really delicious. I haven't been there for many years. Just treat it as accompanying me, okay?"
"Okay."
