The morning after Bei Dou and Xiao Tu's wedding.

Bei Dou rolled around from night to dawn and finally he could eat Xiao Tu.

Jungkook successfully ate Lisa.

That morning Lisa woke up and saw jungkook staring sadly at the ceiling. She knocked her head on his arm. 'Jungkook, what are you thinking?'

'I'm thinking it's been many days and it's the right time for me to see tenth brother,' jungkook said.

'You should go,' Lisa said.

'Lisa, do you want to accompany me?' Jungkook asked.

'I can go outside?' Lisa asked.

Lisa was three months pregnant and her stomach was round. If she walked outside the manor then her pregnancy wouldn't be a secret anymore.

'Lisa, you've been locked at home for months,' jungkook said. 'Don't you want to go outside?'

'I do want to go outside but... I decided I want to continue staying home,' Lisa said.

Jungkook understood Lisa didn't want to risk losing their child and he held her hand. 'Lisa, I've made you worried.'

'It's enough that you know,' Lisa said. 'Jungkook, on the way home remember to buy braised trotters and soft dates at Guo Fu for me.'

Lisa licked her lips and felt hungry.

'Lisa, recently you've been craving for soft food,' jungkook said.

'Um, is something wrong with my cravings?' Lisa asked.

'Elders say if a pregnant woman is carrying a boy then she'll crave soft food,' jungkook said. He rubbed Lisa's stomach. 'Do you think our child is a boy?'

Lisa kicked jungkook, his hands were rubbing past her stomach. 'Jungkook, take your hands away.'

Jungkook kissed Lisa, dressed and unwillingly left the chamber. He was happy to eat Lisa but he regretted he couldn't eat her as often as he did before she was pregnant.

West of the imperial city there was a busy shop owned by Gentleman Su Ci. He stood at the front of the shop and greeted customers. He grinned after he saw jungkook stepped out of a horse carriage.

'Ninth prince, what wind brought you here?' Su Ci asked. 'Someone bring the rare tea to ninth prince!'

'Gentleman Su Ci, you're too generous,' jungkook praised. 'I heard you have a rare jade bracelet at your shop. I came here because I'm interested in seeing the rare jade bracelet.'

'Ninth prince, I understand,' Su Ci said. 'Please come inside. We can drink tea and talk.'

'Sorry for troubling Gentleman Su Ci,' jungkook said and walked into the shop.

The rich young gentleman customers who were inside the shop gossiped about jungkook.

'Ninth prince is kind and gentle as rumored,' the first young man said. 'A while ago I heard he bought a rare pair of jade bracelets for his wife.'

'You don't know how much ninth prince dotes on his wife,' the second young man said. 'To ninth prince gold and silver can't compare to a beauty's smile.'

'What about you?' the first young man asked. 'Aren't you going to buy this ring? It's only five hundred silver taels. Are you not buying it because your heart will miss the silver taels?'

'No, I have selective vision!' the second young man said. 'Fu Wu, are there other rings similar to this ring?'

Su Ci led jungkook into a private room.
