Husband, Be A Gentleman 『Liskook』

Chapter 61

The emperor's question was a hidden dagger.

Jungkook didn't know how long the cold wind in his heart stirred.

'Imperial father, I promise my heart will not change,' jungkook said.

'That's good,' the emperor said and left the calligraphy room.

The emperor walked past the kitchen and the past haunted him.

'Big brother, I learned how to grill meat in Southern Jiang...' Prince Chen Nan said.

That one memory ruined his happiness to hear his ninth daughter-in-law was pregnant.

The emperor's imperial guards and imperial physicians escorted the emperor back to the palace.

Jungkook's manor returned to its lively atmosphere.

'Your grandfather!' Xiao Zai cursed. 'Xiao Hui you purposely threw me over the wall! If I had landed on the emperor then I would have been cut into pieces! If you see me as an eyesore, you can tell me but don't harm me like this. Say something. Don't think I'll spare you if you don't say anything.'

Xiao Zai chased Xiao Hui around the courtyard.

'Those two people are going to make me laugh to death,' Lisa said. She rubbed her stomach and pulled jungkook's sleeve. 'Jungkook, what's wrong? What did the emperor say to you in the calligraphy room?'

Jungkook held Lisa's hand. 'Nothing. Your father-in-law asked me to behave.'

'Did the emperor find out about something?' Lisa asked.

Jungkook shook his head. 'Perhaps someone said something to imperial father.'

Suddenly jungkook's guard, Xiao Ting entered the courtyard.

'What happened in the palace?' Jungkook asked.

Xiao Ting reported to jungkook about the court officials' conflict over who should be the crown prince and left the courtyard.

Lisa shivered, she thought Huang Guo would only spread the secret about her pregnancy.

'Why would Huang Guo want to cause trouble in the palace?' Lisa asked

'It appears I'll need to visit Huang Guo,' jungkook said coldly.

Lisa knew jungkook wasn't upset about Huang Guo, he was upset about the emperor's reaction. Jungkook was also the emperor's son but the emperor's warning showed that the emperor never wanted to give jungkook the opportunity to inherit the kingdom. She held jungkook's cold hand and thought the old AH was lower than her neglectful and opportunistic father.

Jungkook patted Lisa's hand. 'Lisa, it's alright. I'm used to it. You can't expose your deadly temper.'

'Jungkook...' Lisa said.

'Um?' Jungkook asked.

'Jungkook, why don't we force that old AH who doesn't want you to be his heir... have to open his mouth and beg you to be the crown prince?' Lisa asked.

'Then what?' Jungkook asked.

'Then you'll tell the old AH you don't want to be his heir and let him be angry to death,' Lisa said.

Jungkook hugged Lisa. 'Wife, that's a good plan. Do you believe in your husband that much?'

'Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking,' Lisa said.

Jungkook thought his little lion was more intelligent by the day. He kissed her and travelled to Huang Guo's manor.

Later at Huang Guo's manor, jungkook and Huang Guo sat opposite each other in Huang Guo's calligraphy room.
