Lalisa instantly felt that the food was tasteless. It turned out that hearing news about him from others was more painful. Why did he so care about her?

Taehyung was also upset. From what he knew of Jungkook, he was the kind of person who wouldn’t be swayed by anything. Even when he had faced great difficulties back in the past, he managed to get through them by solely relying on himself. He hadn’t even batted his eyelid when he expelled his father out of the Jeon Family. But now he indulged himself like this just because of a woman, and he even put aside Jeon ‘s International Group, which he had risked his life to take back.

Taehyung picked up his fork and poked at the pasta on the plate, but he felt no appetite, so he got up, took out a few glasses and asked Lalisa to get wine. Lalisa happened to feel like drinking, so she immediately got up, took the best wine from the wine rack and opened it. Taehyung put the glasses down and Lalisa poured wine into them. Jimin picked up a glass, clinked glasses with them and took a mouthful of it. “Will Jungkook give up his company if it turns out the woman really died?”

“That’s impossible.” Jimin took a sip of wine, put down his glass and continued eating pasta with a fork. “Jungkook isn’t the kind of person who can’t recover after a setback. He’ll be depressed for a short time at most and then he’ll stand on a new height again. He’ll probably break out in silence, leap ahead of Empire Group and make Jeon’s Group the number one company in Asia.”

Lalisa smiled, picked up her glass and drained the wine. She knew that he was exactly the kind of person Jimin described, but in that case, his heart would die and he would try his best to climb up to a new height. Even if he lost his health, he wouldn’t mind, and then he would probably die at a young age.

So she couldn’t let that happen. He should live in a warm world and be surrounded by love. The first half of his life was too bitter, and thus he should be tenderly loved in the second half of his life.

But what would she have to do to make him accept her?

Tell him that she had changed from Kwon Lalisa to Min Lisa? He wouldn’t believe it! But if she didn’t tell him this, what excuse could she use to approach him?

Jimin and Taehyung noticed that Lalisa was drinking in silence. Before they finished one glass, she had drunk several ones. Taehyung quickly held onto Lalisa’s glass and said, “Hey, little drunkard, what’s wrong with you?”

Lalisa was slightly drunk, but her brain was still sober. She pursed her lips and looked at them as she asked, “Why does Jungkook, such a powerful man, torture himself like this for a woman?”

Taehyung blinked and said, “He is not only torturing himself, but also courting death. The day he heard that news, he locked himself in his office for a whole day. When he came out the next day, his hands were bleeding.”

“Self-abuse,” Lalisa said, tears coming out of her eyes, and she smiled sadly. Her eyes roamed over Taheyung and Jimin’s faces, and she grabbed a piece of lobster meat from her plate and stuffed it into her mouth. “He asked for it.”

“Why are you crying?” Jimin took a tissue and wiped her tears. “Is it because you drank too much? Stop drinking then.”

“There is sand in my eyes.” Lalisa grabbed the tissue from Jimin and pursed her lips. “But the wine wasn’t well aerated. It’s too acrid. My throat is so sore…” With that, she bent over the table and cried out loud, “Why is the wine so strong? I only drank a few glasses. Now my head aches, my eyes ache, my mouth, my throat and my stomach all ache… ”

Jimin and Taehyung looked at each other and nodded at the same time. This girl was drunk!

Taehyung helplessly picked her up and went upstairs, determining that he would never allow the little girl to drink again!
