Chapter 17

During the next two days, Jungkook didn't receive a single order from Lisa. He was relieved, but at the same time, confused.

He didn't see her, but he did see Taehyung.

He didn't know Taehyung's name, but he did see him three times already around Lisa's store, so he recognized him.

He wore the same black leather motorcycle jacket, two prominent studs on his right ear, and was sitting in a coffee shop with a beautiful girl.

Jungkook had come to the coffee shop to pick up an order. He didn't go to coffee shops very often, but he did know that this place was famous for being a matchmaking meetup. Every time he passed by, he could see different men and women sitting together.

He looked towards Taehyung's direction and slightly frowned. Was Taehyung here to meet with a woman? Isn't he...Lisa's boyfriend?
　　
Taehyung really was here for a blind date. When he fled the country because of the last blind date attempt, his father grew furious. Taehyung had wanted to stay away until everything blew over, but then Lisa's store was trashed, so he quickly came back. The moment he stepped out of the plane, the Kim family started keeping a very close eye on him. So after cleaning Lisa's store, he hardly left the confines of his family home.

Sitting opposite him right now was Uncle Nie's daughter, Nie Lei.

To be fair, Nie Lei really was a very excellent girl. She was beautiful and had a high education. After chatting with her for a bit, Taehyung also found that she was an independent person with her own thoughts. He appreciated this aspect of hers, but that was it.

There are thousands of excellent girls in the world. He can't like them all.

"Oh by the way, Uncle Kim said you were sick, are you better now?" Nie Lei took a sip of her coffee and looked at Taehyung.

Taehyung smiled and replied: "You're pretty smart. You don't really believe my father's words do you?"

Nie Lei's lips hooked up, and she didn't answer.

Taehyung commented: "You're a really great girl, if you really wanted a boyfriend you certainly wouldn't need to waste your time waiting for me. Truthfully, I already have someone I like. That's why I didn't attend our previous blind date."

Nei Lei wasn't surprised. Taehyung was a popular guy, it was normal for him to have a girl he liked. She came to this date only because her parents had asked her to. She came here with the attitude of merely completing a task and then going home.

She also heard a lot of rumors about Taehyung, so she was curious. Maybe it was because she had simply followed her parent's roadmap and diligently studied ever since she was a child. All her life, she already knew what her future would look like, so she had been interested in the Taehyung, who constantly broke the rules.

But well, since he said everything out in the open, she no longer wanted to waste her time. "I understand. I'll tell my father that we're not really suitable for each other."

Taehyung smiled at her and said: "Thank you."

Nei Lei looked at his sunny expression and said: "Smile at me like that again, and maybe I'll change my mind."

Taehyung: "..."

After leaving the coffee shop, Taehyung took advantage of this rare freedom and went to Starlight Park to find Lisa. Meanwhile, Lisa was putting the finishing touches on her final order. After this, she could immediately deliver them, finally giving her at least two days of free time.

When Taehyung arrived, Lisa was taking care of the many plants and flowers in her store. After her Anthurium got injured the last time, she had consciously taken more care of it. She was afraid that if she didn't pay serious attention to it, she would accidentally feed it to death.

Taehyung slowly tiptoed towards her from behind, wanting to surprise her. But as soon as he got close, Lisa had turned around with a shovel in her hands. "What are you trying to do?"

"..." Taehyung's hands drew a big arc, and pretending to stretch, he said: "Nothing, nothing, just wanted to exercise for a bit."

"Do you need to that in here?" Lisa asked, deadpan.

"No...." He followed her as she went to the cash register. With a smile, he asked: "Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to some dinner."

Lisa looked up at him and replied: "I don't want to. It's Sunday, so a lot of people are going out."

"Then how about tomorrow?"

"Can you even go out tomorrow?" Taehyung had been low-key nowadays. When she thought about it, Lisa figured it was because his family was keeping an eye on him.

Taehyung sneered. "I go when and where I want to go. Who can stop me, ah?"

Lisa tilted her head and looked behind him. "Those two men in black probably can."

Taehyung turned around and frowned. It was the bodyguards his father had hired for him. They were responsible for keeping an eye on him, and unexpectedly, they found him.

But whatever, his motorcycle could outrun any car they had.

Taehyung looked back at Lisa and said: "I'll take you out to play after I settle things with my family."

Then after putting his hands in his jean pockets, he left.

Eunha soon arrived and passed the departing Taehyung. Seeing his pitiful look, she took out her little notebook and wrote a few things before entering the store. She then took a small red box from her backpack and handed it to Lisa: "Boss, this is for you."

Lisa looked at the box. On the red packaging were large Arabic numbers and the words 'ultra-thin'.
