DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -74

Taehyung looked on foolishly. In his past twenty plus years, he’d never been rendered dumbstruck looking at a woman. Even Jennie behind him was staring with rapt attention, but she managed to recover just enough to jab her master at the crucial moment. He recovered his composure quickly after. He’d seized the opportunity to sneak a peek at her. This opportunity was naturally related to Jungkook.

He knew that Jungkook wouldn’t be able to make his way over so quickly, so he’d hurriedly rushed over before his friend arrived. Little had he expected to see her current appearance.

Taehyung had just recovered his composure when he heard the sound of footsteps from behind him. He hurriedly turned around and smiled, “Why are you so slow, I thought you were here much earlier? I even took the trouble to set up such a peaceful place for you, don’t tell me you got lost?”

Jungkook must have been held up by Miss Chou. Taehyung had heard from his subordinates that Miss Chou had wanted to meet Prince Jeon in private, but never quite got the chance to. Therefore, he’d arranged for such an opportunity.

Only, he hadn’t expected that Miss Chou would be able to delay him for so short a time.

Taehyung himself didn’t know why he was in such low spirits as he walked into the room and said, “It’s nothing.” When he saw Lisa, she had already stood up, intending for him to sit. “Your leg’s injured, sit!”

Seeing the cold look on Jungkook’s face as he sat down, Song Jiaoyue said, “This Great Master is rumoured to have a consummate knowledge of Buddhist doctrines, the two of you can take your time to experience it for yourselves.”

He didn’t plan on leaving immediately. After all, accompanying his friend in listening to the teachings of Buddhism was something he ought to do. As he took a seat, the room that was occupied by three masters and three servants quietened down as an exceptionally abnormal atmosphere hung in the air.

Lisa felt that the pressure she was facing was as heavy as a mountain. She truly couldn’t understand why these two men had squeezed themselves into this small room just to listen to Buddhist teachings. Are they lacking space outside? However, this wasn’t the right time to speak. She could only endure it in silence while nervously wringing her handkerchief, her eyes darting to and fro. She was at a complete loss as to what she should do. However, her current appearance instead greatly pleased Taehyung; he liked seeing her various expressions. She was exceptionally beautiful regardless of what expression she wore.

On the other hand, Jungkook was feeling rather suffocated and anxious in his heart. He didn’t know whether it was due to the matter with Miss Lin from before or something else entirely. As a result, not even one of those present in the room heard a word of what the Great Master had to say, and the awkward atmosphere persisted until another uninvited guest made an appearance.

And that would be Chou Tzuyu, the female lead of the original novel.

She had heard a servant girl say that Jungkook had passed by the temple, but she hadn’t found anyone there. So, she planned on stopping him to personally thank him for rescuing her. After all, her father had been extremely unwilling when he sent the gifts over to him earlier.

She had hardly expected Prince Jeon to stalk off the moment she saw him and leave her no chance to speak at all. Tzuyu had a temper just as fiery as his, and she was infuriated by his lofty attitude. She chased after him, intent on finding out what exactly he was so dissatisfied with.

Who’d have thought that her slower arrival would result in three people sitting there in a daze for half a day? She has startled when she walked into the room. Her gaze first fell upon a gentle and tender woman so beautiful, it even made her feel inferior.
