Carrying The Villains Baby 2

228

About half an hour later, after Zhouzhou had been coaxed to sleep by Ye Lisa and she brought him back to his nursery, Jungkook finally came out of the bathroom. Ye Lisa noticed the time and raised her eyebrows. “Half an hour, why do you take longer to wash up than a woman? Were you trying to wash off an ink stain?”

Jungkook hadn’t dried off yet. His hair was dripping wet, and there was a large wet spot on his pajamas.

He concisely answered, “The hot water is broken.” And left for the study.

Ye Lisa stepped into the bathroom and checked the water.

Huh? There was nothing wrong with the hot water.

It was twilight, and the clamorous villa had gradually fallen silent. Jungkook was leaning on the headboard and reading the latest news. Ye Lisa was studying an area of filmmaking that she wasn’t familiar with as a producer. Jungkook would occasionally ask her about what happened during the day and Ye Lisa would answer with a few words.

When 10:30 PM arrived, Ye Lisa yawned and put down the materials in her hands to go to sleep.

Jungkook casually asked, “There’s a function I have to go to in two days. I need to bring a female companion.”

Ye Lisa was very sleepy. She drowsily asked, “When?”

“Next Wednesday.”

“Sure.” Ye Lisa had self-knowledge of her position as Mrs. Jeon. “I definitely won’t embarrass you when the time comes.”

Jungkook's smile was hidden in the light’s shadow and couldn’t be clearly seen.

Whether it was her family or her career, everything was going in a good direction. All of the plots in the novel seemed to have been changed. During this time, Ye Lisa was busy with Zhouzhou and work matters related to the movie. Thus, she naturally didn’t pay attention to other people’s affairs.

When Wednesday arrived and she found out who the host for the reception was, she was stunned for a long time.

The reception that Jungkook mentioned was actually a birthday reception. Haibin’s mayor was celebrating his wife’s birthday. The guests were naturally honored to get an invitation and dressed up beautifully. They wanted to glamorously shine at this reception.

Wasn’t this Ye Ji Eun’s opportunity to appear in front of socialites and shine radiantly and elegantly in the novel?

In the novel, that mayor’s wife was very satisfied with Ye Ji Eun’s performance. She had profusely praised Ye Ji Eun for being elegant and well-educated. It was exactly because of this that Lin Eunwoo and Ye Ji Eunhad risen up a level in Haibin. Following Ye Ji Eun’s friendship with the mayor’s wife, the mayor viewed Lin Eunwoo in a new, favorable light. It would serve as a new starting point for Lin Eunwoo.

Now that the plot had changed, Ye Lisa was curious if she would see Ye Ji Eun at this reception.

“What’s wrong?” Jungkook looked at Ye Lisa. She had tightened her grip on his arm. He asked in a low voice, “Nervous?”

Ye Lisa tugged on her halter dress. She shook her head. “No, I just thought of Zhouzhou. He’s home alone…”

The atmospheric pressure around Jungkook plummeted. He was especially displeased about how Ye Lisa had focused all of her attention on Zhouzhou during this period. What was so good about him? He was an annoying brat that just learned how to say mom.

“Mom will take good care of him. Don’t worry.”

That was just a made up excuse, so Ye Lisa didn’t continue speaking after Jungkook’s reassurance.

Soon, they arrive at the hotel.

The doorman pulled open the door. Jungkook got out of the car first and then stood next to the car to help Ye Lisa get out. Ye Lisa wrapped her arm around Jungkook’s arm.

Many people were already at the reception. Jungkook’s arrival with his wife attracted a lot of attention. After all, Jeon Corporation was number one with regards to business. No one could look down on its strength.
