The Royal's Cute Little Wife

Chapter 6.2

If only that was all. Worse still, Li Jungkook continuously ignored her.

In order to attract Xie Lisa's attention, Gao Taehyung even resorted to telling the stories the steward had spoken about, and tried his utmost to make Xie Lisa happy. However, as Xie Lisa had come from the capital, there was no story that she had not heard of and so, she quickly got impatient, "All these stories you are telling me I have heard before, do you have any I have not heard yet?"

Hurt, Gao Taehyung gritted his teeth and started recounting his antics and embarrassing moments as a child.

The gist of his recount was that when he had been chased by a big dog for half the street, he was so frightened that he peed in his pants.

Xie Lisa guffawed, and her bright eyes twinkled like crescent moons. Her laugh was pleasant to the ears, crisp and clear.

After laughing enough, she curiously asked, "How could you wet your pants when you were already so old?"

Gao Taehyung rubbed his nose, saying, "I was only four then..."

However, she replied: "That's not young anymore, Ah Yeri doesn't even wet her pants now!"

At the back, upon hearing this, Li Jungkook's expression darkened, and it was only with much control that he managed to withhold himself from simply walking away.

Once they returned to the outer courtyard, the banquet had ended and Dara shi and Song shi had remained behind, most likely to wait for their children to return.

Xie Lisa and Xie Yeri swarmed towards her, each holding her thigh saying, "Mother, we're back!"

Dara shi sighed in relief, rubbing their heads, raised her head and towards Shuang Yu and Shuang Yan, and asked, "Where did all of you go? Why did it take so long?"

Shuang Yu and Shuang Yan then recounted the entire incident of how they had gotten lost, including meeting both Gao Taehyung and Li Jungkook along the way, and having a meal together.

On the other side, Li Jungkookwas already in Song shi's hands, and upon seeing his ugly expression, asked him what had happened.

Li Jungkook refused to answer.

Dara shi gave her thanks to Gao Taehyung, who shook his head, saying, "Everyone who enters is a guest. Since Ah Lisa and Ah Yeri came to my household, I must of course take good care of them."

Dara shi had a good impression of him and couldn't help but say a few more words to him.

To be honest, Gao Taehyung had a very likeable personality, not only was he obedient, but he also had a sweet mouth; furthermore, he was courteous and polite. Even Dara shi was full of praises for him, so it was easy to tell that many elders looked upon him favourably.

As the crowd dissipated, the majority of the guests left. Xie Jiyong had already prepared the carriage at one side, and had ordered some servants to fetch his wife and children.

As both Xie and Li households were situated close to each other, after some discussion, it was decided for both households to return together.

Before leaving, Gao Taehyung called Li Jungkook to the side, and both of them spoke in hushed voices. Upon returning, Li Jungkook's expression remained the same as he walked towards Song shi and prepared to go up the carriage.

Before he could get on, Song shi quickly asked: "Kookie, where are you going?"

Puzzled, Li Jungkook asked, "Isn't this our carriage?"

There was no doubt that it was their carriage, however, Song shi didn't intend to take their carriage, but rather, went ahead and joined Xie household's carriage. It was just as well that she wanted to speak to Dara shi, and the carriage was large enough to fit. Unwilling to leave Li Jungkook alone, Song shi called him to join them.

Li Jungkook was alas unwilling to, and pointed to their carriage saying, "Mother , go ahead without me, I am alright with sitting in this one."

In response, Song shi said, "But that carriage has been left for the maidservants."

Unwilling to give up, he then decided to ride the horse with Li Xiqing. However, his father and Xie Liqing had ridden away long ago. Left with no other option, Li Jungkook could only sit in the Xie household's carraige.

Inside the carriage, Xie Lisa and Xie Yeri had already taken their seats.

Both of them were tired; Xie Yeri laid within Dara shi's embrace to sleep while Xie Lisa rested against the sides. It was most likely due to the disturbance that Xie Lisa awoke, she rubbed her eyes and with them half-opened, watched Li Jungkook, softly saying, "Big Brother Xiao Jungkook", before going back to sleep.

Throughout the entire journey, she slept the whole way through and didn't disturb him at all.

Song shi and Dara shi were conversing about what the other madames had been talking about that day, about their children and the numerous events of that day. Li Jungkook wasn't interested and so turned his head, catching Xie Lisa soundly asleep.

She was much cuter when was sleeping as compared to when she was awake.

Gao Taehyung called her a little fairy, but why didn't he feel that way at all? Besides having a fairer complexion, and being slightly better-looking than most, she bore no resemblance to a little fairy at all.

As he looked, Li Jungkook realised that she was actually quite fair-skinned. He suddenly thought of the green onion tofu dish he had eaten the day before, and wondered if her face was really as tender as that tofu. Unable to restrain himself, he lifted his hand, but halfway, he fiercely put it back down.

Was he insane? What if she woke up?

Li Jungkook sighed in relief, luckily he hadn't been impulsive. Along the way, he occasionally took glances at her face, and before long, they had reached the entrances of their respective households.

Once they had disembarked, Song shi whispered into his ear, " kookie, why did you keep staring at little lamb?"

With a straight face, Li Jungkook replied, saying, "The carriage was too small, I wasn't looking at her on purpose."

Smiling, Song shi knocked his head, he had obviously been stealing glances at her, but still stubbornly denied it.

Upon reaching the entrance, Xie Lisa woke up, and drowsily followed Dara shi out of the carriage. Once she saw Li Jungkook opposite her, she immediately sobered up and greeted him with a smile.

Li Jungkook didn't respond but Song shi enthusiastically said, "Little lamb, come by our household in the future to play."

She nodded her head, "Okay!"

After that, she followed behind Dara shi, but before even taking two steps, she turned around. Seeing Li Jungkook was still there, she smiled happily and stuck out her tongue at him cheekily.

Li Jungkook's pulled a face before turning around to leave.
