She suddenly made her move as her thoughts travelled here. A loud smack rang out as she slapped her face. Xiao Shi leapt up in fright as she nearly threw out the pearl hairpin in her hands.

She was flustered at seeing her mistress’s red face in the mirror, “Mistress Lisa, why did you hit your face?”

Lisa rubbed her cheek, saying, “Nothing, I just felt a little itchy.”

She was keeping herself alert, guarding her original intentions, and not letting herself be seduced by the male lead. Yesterday’s Jungkook had been too attractive. Even though she had not dared to gaze closely at him, those sturdy, robust muscles of his and firm chest had still entered her eyes.

This kind of man amongst men was too good in modern times. Low-quality fakes were running all over the place, an unbearable sight for the eyes. She’d gone on a few blind dates before or dated some fellows who were still in university. However, those slender bodies of theirs, with waists even thinner than her own, had left her feeling awkward. If she were to live together with such weak men, they really wouldn’t give her any sense of security whatsoever.

However, that figure of Jungkook’s was truly the kind that appeared thin when clothed but appeared muscular when unrobed. Just looking at that back of his alone was already enough to make her extremely nervous.

She’d slapped herself because she had embarrassed herself too much with her thoughts.

Xiao Shi combed her hair and wash up, with Bai Lisa sitting there after eating breakfast, waiting for Jungkook to come to find her. A maid entered just like this time, saying that the orchids would be thrown away, yet asked for her to choose a few of them to bring back.

Plants naturally had to be chosen by themselves. Therefore, she left for the greenhouse she’d visited earlier along with Xiao Shi. Because the servants couldn’t leave them in their previous home without harming the people in the room, and the orchids would freeze to death if placed elsewhere, the servants had just left them there.

The place was big, and the airflow was more or less good. Therefore, no one would be poisoned from the toxic glycosides in the tulips. However, Xiao Shi was worried and didn’t want her to enter.

“You stay outside then. I’ll go in myself. It’ll be fine.” Lisa knew that Xiao Shi was timid upon seeing the latter scared. Therefore, Lisa wanted to leave her maid outside.

“That’s not fine! What if something happens to Mistress Lisa, what would I do then? I should be the one to enter and pick!”

Lisa could not help but smile as she saw Xiao SHi’s heroic expression. She gently pinched her maid’s nose before saying, “Do you know how? I’ll go. It’ll be fine as long as there aren’t many people present and I have a cloth covering my face. Anyways, some of the plants have been thrown away already. It’s not a patch of flowers anymore.”

“Then I’ll accompany you in.” While Xiao Shi was scared, she wanted to stay by her mistress’ side, advancing and retreating along with her.

She was still young in Lisa’s eyes, so Lisa took a pink off her face. “You just wait here. We can’t have too many people go in or that’s when we’ll all be poisoned.”

Xiao Shi believed her words. She hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to remain outside.

Lisa only brought a pageboy in. He was in charge of transporting the plants. He was in charge of moving away from whatever flower pot she chose. However, he had to maintain its heat properly. At least fifteen minutes was required for it to be moved to the nearest warm room from here.
