Husband, Be A Gentleman 『Liskook』

Chapter 7

Lisa awoken early the following morning.

She immediately saw Jungkook staring at her with eyes that looked like it wanted to play with fire. The heavens knew it was the first time he smiled lecherously endlessly.

Jungkook pulled the blanket off Lisa. 'Wife, we need to leave the bed and greet the elders in their palace chamber.'

Lisa glanced at the dim sky outside the window and she frowned. 'I'll go find an appropriate dress.'

Lisa opened a chest. Inside the chest were her scarce belongings. She chose the best dress out of the ordinary dresses she owned.

Jungkook glanced at the items inside Lisa 's chest and he frowned. Although a few of the fabrics of her dresses were of acceptable quality, most of her dresses couldn't compete with the beautiful dress she wore to the banquet in the palace a month ago.

'What is it, something wrong?' Lisa asked.

'Nothing,' Jungkook said. 'I was remembering my wife looking heavenly the last time we met.'

Jungkook diverting Lisa's attention dampened her heart a little more. 'Whether I looked heavenly or not, I can't compare with ninth prince.'

Princess Kang Hua had asked a dressmaker to make the few new dresses that Lisa owned. In the last two years Princess Kang Hua treated her coldly and she never fussed over the poor quality fabrics of her dresses. Each month she was only allowed to have one request granted. She remembered the dress she wore to the banquet a month ago. Indeed her best dress inside the chest couldn't even compare with Yan Shi Ting's most ordinary dress.

Lisa thought that the quality of her dresses were insignificant compared to living a peaceful life.

Jungkook watched Lisa stepped behind the screen to change into a dress and his eyes gleamed brightly. He shook his head, smiled and stepped to the bed. Then he lifted the white blanket, bit a finger and drops of blood dripped onto the blanket.

'Ninth prince, can I come in?' a flirtatious voice asked from outside the chamber.

Jungkook let go of the blanket and looked at a dressed Lisa who stepped out from the screen before he replied to the flirtatious voice, which gave her goose bumps all over her skin.

The chamber door was pushed open and several maids appeared with a basin of water and wash cloths. The maid leading them inside the chamber looked between seventeen and eighteen years old. The maid's long hair was let down with a jade hairpin adorned on the left side of the maid's hair and the maid walked in a sensual manner. Lisa praised the maid's beauty in her heart, but she wondered who the beauty was.

'Ninth prince, let me help you change your clothes,' the maid said.

Lisa recognised the flirtatious voice belonged to the maid. She was suspicious why a maid would act like the mistress of the manor. She watched the maid smiled flirtatiously while helping Jungkook change his clothes and she realised the maid wasn't an ordinary maid.

Jungkook's heart was weary of Su Yue's inappropriate closeness. He looked at Lisa and he smile warmly. 'Su Yue, I can change my clothes on my own. You should serve my wife.'

'But I always serve ninth prince,' Su Yue said and pouted.

'You don't need to,' Jungkook said. 'Quickly help my wife. It's getting late, my wife and I need to greet the elders.'

Su Yue couldn't refuse Jungkook's request and she grudgingly stepped toward Lisa.

Lisa looked at the cold contempt shown on Su Yue's face. Her intuition protested that Su Yue was too daring by looking down on her.
