Dilemma

60.

The first time was when Lisa was taken away by the police. In order to protect the Jeon Family's reputation, the Jeon Family's elders wanted to break off the engagement, and this had enraged Jungkook.

His two uncles and cousin brothers did not dare to offend this little overlord, so they engaged Old Mistress for the matter, but they did not expect that Jungkook would not yield and had a manner of granting death to all who stood in his way!

The autocratic Old Mistress felt like she was looking at a stranger, the grandson whom she had personally brought up, having a fall out with her all because of a woman!

It was that time onwards that Old Mistress Jeon completely disliked Lisa.

Again, today at the banquet, Jungkook protected the woman openly and discreetly, forgetting his Grandmother after marrying a wife...

"Jungkook, after the banquet is over, have all the children of the Jeon Family to stay back, and let's have tea together!"

Jungkook knew that Grandmother was still unhappy about the incident earlier on, so his attitude now was very humble. He tugged Grandmother's hand and said, "Alright. We haven't eaten together for quite some time indeed. I should have visited Grandmother at the Upper Mansion last weekend too."

"Chaeyoung will only be here later. She has to take care of something in school, so she'll be late." Mingyu applied a leave of absence for his sister.

Among the two girls in the Jeon Family, Grandmother favored Chaeyoung more. She was pretty and had a sweet mouth. Skillful in talking, she delighted Old Mistress, and so compared to Somi, Jeon Chaeyoung was favored a little more.

Yugyeom was aware that he was the only one present from the third son's side. His sister, Somi, had followed their parents to attend a conference.

Although Grandmother was understanding, this was, after all, a family banquet. Jeon Tangshuo's family really had no excuse to be absent, causing Second Young Master, Yugyeom, to be so scared that he did not dare to make a sound.

Old Mistress looked at the periphery and said to Jungkook, "Later, have that lad from the Park Family to stay back as well. He seems to have a steady nature, and his looks are very charming too. Chaeyoung is not that young anymore, and since both of their backgrounds are rather similar, I'd like to introduce them to each other."

For the elders, it had become a habit for them to simply matchmake...

Jungkook cast a meaningful gaze at Jimin.

'This fellow mentioned that Grandmother had arranged something for me. The way I see it, it's you who will be having a hard time saving yourself, eh?' Jungkook thought quietly in his mind.

The bevy of young girls approaching Jimin had never stopped. Toasting one another, this man who was talking cheerfully and wittily, would make eye contact with Jungkook from time to time as if he was asking, 'Mr Jeon, how's my charisma?'

This handsome and chic man had become the target of all the socialites and young girls at the banquet. His popularity seemingly overshadowed Taehyung.

Aside from the few excellent married men, this kind of suitable-for-marriage young meat was promised to be popular wherever they went!

In fact, Taehyung, on the other side, was not in a favorable situation as well. There would constantly be people coming up to him to have small talk with him.

Taehyung was not an aloof man, but as he was not in a good mood this evening. He gave a cold face to the girls clustering around him and ignored all of them.

...

After a while, Lisa changed into a comfortable evening dress and stepped back out. She was wearing a cherry-pink short dress, and it complemented her fair and tender skin extremely well. The back of her dress was a thin layer of chiffon with sparkling diamond chips sewn on it. She looked extremely enchanting, even though she stayed quiet and said nothing, she still became the focus in the entire hall.

When she and Tzuyu appeared, everyone's gaze was attracted by the Jeon Family's third missus.

Even Tzuyu, who was by her side, had paled into insignificance...

Jungkook saw that she was no longer having the earlier looks of being wronged, and his heart felt at ease.

Striding over, he embraced her. After a while, when no one was noticing, he lightly pecked her forehead and gently whispered, "You didn't want to be conspicuous tonight, but you have accidentally become the most beautiful one!"

Lisa was startled, and she glanced around, afraid that someone had seen that and felt exceedingly shy.

How could Jungkook made such an intimate move in public?

Lisa's Three Worldviews (TN: a Chinese term comprising a person's conception of the world, the outlook of life, and values) was secretly renewed!

Her impression of Jungkook had always to be a man to be observed from afar and not to be touched. It had always been her who had taken the initiative, shamelessly pestering the other despite never getting an affirmative response.

But now, Jungkook was taking the initiative to express his affections to her. Lisa was not accustomed to it at all...
